S OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL PAPERS2 Reprint 107. THE DRAINAGE OF LAND OVERLYING ARTESIAN BASINS. By W. Gardner. O. W. Israelsen, and W. W. McLaughlins • In SOIL SCIENCE, Vol. 26, No.1 (July, 1928), pp. 33-45. The methods of hydrodynamics are used in an effort to calculate the influence of drain tile and of wells on the water-logged condition of fine-textured .oils due to hydrostatic pressure in

Abstract. The geothermal hot water reservoir below the small town of Waiwera in New Zealand has been known to indigenous M?ori for many centuries. Overproduction by European immigrants led a level decrease and consequently artesian flow from wells seeps on beach ceased. Te Kaunihera o T?maki Makaurau Auckland Council established Thermal Groundwater Allocation Management Plan allow system recove...

Spring mounds on Earth and on Mars could represent optimal niches of life development. If life ever occurred on Mars, ancient spring deposits would be excellent localities to search for morphological or chemical remnants of an ancient biosphere. In this work, we investigate models of formation and activity of well-exposed spring mounds in the Mechertate-Chrita-Sidi El Hani (MCSH) system, easter...

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) underlies about one fifth of mainland Australia. Much of this area is arid or semiarid and often artesian water is the only reliable source of potable water, historically via springs. Prior to the 1870s, there were around 3,000 flowing springs ringing the GAB. The springs were a vital source of water for Aborigines as well as early explorers, workers and pastorali...

The genome sequence of Fervidicella metallireducens strain AeB(T), a curved, heterotrophic, thermoanaerobic, and iron-reducing bacterium isolated from a gray microbial mat colonizing the free-flowing waters of a Great Artesian Basin (GAB) bore well located in outback Queensland, Australia, is reported here. The analysis of the 2.9-Mb sequence indicates that the attributes of the genome are cons...
