Book Description
Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey: Nos. 101-106 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript by Prof. G. D. Harris on the Underground Waters of Southern Louisiana, to which has been added short discussions of certain economic features, including the uses of underground waters for water supplies and for rice irrigation, by Mr. M. L. Fuller. The part by Professor Harris is an elaboration of a portion of an earlier paper published in the reports of the geological survey Of Louisiana, and by means of its descriptions and illustrations brings out clearly the nature of the occurrence and the importance of the underground water resources of the region considered. It is believed that the discussion of water sup plies, by reiterating the importance of pure sources, will hasten their introduction. The irrigation of rice, though yet in its earlier stages, has already increased tenfold the value of land over large areas, and the publication of information which will in any way call attention to the importance of underground waters in its development will be of considerable value. I would recommend that the report be published in the series of water-supply and Irrigation Papers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers: Of the United States Geological Survey, 1896 This paper by Mr. Wilson is the first of a proposed series of publica tions relating to water supply and irrigation. The object in View in undertaking a new series is to afi'ord an opportunity for prompt publi. Cation of short reports, generally popular in character, relating to the water resources and the methods of utilizing these, with especial ref erence to the employment of water in agriculture. To reply to ques tions arising in various parts of the country regarding the progress of the investigation of the water resources and the facts relating to the available supply of water for irrigation, power, or domestic use, it is necessary to have pamphlets which can be sent out freely, and which, in order to answer the particular needs of individuals or communities, will not be too general in character. The series of bulletins issued by the Survey would serve as such means of communication were it not for the fact that by law these must be sold, and thus can not be used for ofiicial purposes or for placing the information acquired by investiga tion at once in the hands of the persons seeking to know the facts. By the law authorizing this new series it is possible for the Survey to dis tribute these papers to correspondents and to the numerous volunteer assistants who at one time or another have kindly aided by replying to letters of inquiry or schedules asking for specific data. Without such Opportunities for distribution of small publications the oflicers of the Survey are placed in an embarrassing position, from the fact that they are compelled to ask favors in the way of statements and data of various kinds and are yet unable in general to more than thank the persons who have freely given their time to the preparation of letters and the filling out of blanks. Even when these persons have asked for a copy of the publication embodying the information which they have furnished, it has not been possible for a bulletin to be sent unless paid for by some member of the Survey.

Book Description
Data on water quality and other environmental issues are being collected at an ever-increasing rate. In the past, however, the techniques used by scientists to interpret this data have not progressed as quickly. This is a book of modern statistical methods for analysis of practical problems in water quality and water resources. The last fifteen years have seen major advances in the fields of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and robust statistical methods. The 'real-life' characteristics of environmental data tend to drive analysis towards the use of these methods. These advances are presented in a practical and relevant format. Alternate methods are compared, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each as applied to environmental data. Techniques for trend analysis and dealing with water below the detection limit are topics covered, which are of great interest to consultants in water-quality and hydrology, scientists in state, provincial and federal water resources, and geological survey agencies. The practising water resources scientist will find the worked examples using actual field data from case studies of environmental problems, of real value. Exercises at the end of each chapter enable the mechanics of the methodological process to be fully understood, with data sets included on diskette for easy use. The result is a book that is both up-to-date and immediately relevant to ongoing work in the environmental and water sciences.
