W. D. SIMONSand M. I. RORABAUGH: Hydrologyof Hungry Horse Reservoir, North-Western Montana. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California, Jan. 1970. The existence of usable bank storage was established by a comprehensive water-budget analysis of Hungry Horse Reservoir for the period October, 1964 through April, 1967. A theoretical model of the response of the aquifer adjacent to the reservoir to changes in reservoir stage was developed. Computed ground-water storage in the alluvium adjacent to the reservoir is 108000 cfs-days between the elevation of 3336 and 3560 feet above mean sea level. This amount of added storage is not totally available as reservoir inflow because of time lag and other effects. The amount of ground-water inflow averages about 60~o of the corresponding groundwater storage. (Knapp-USGS; Selected Water Res. Abs., June 1, 1970.)
A. ARAD and A. MICHAELI: Hydrogeological investigations in the western catchment of the Dead Sea. Israel Geological Survey, Jerusalem, Israel. Journal of Earth Sciences. Vol. 16, 1961, p. 181-197. The hydrogeological study evaluates the ground-water balance of the western catchment of the Dead Sea Basin, which receives the major portion of its water by percolation from precipitation in the Judean hills. It receives also some water from rainstorms in the Judean Wilderness. The annual regional ground-water recharge amounts to between 70 x 10 and 100 x 10 "super cm super 3", but exploitation of the Basin withdraws more water than is replenished. Long-term records for Jerusalem show a general quantitative decline in rainfall over the past 100 years. (Carr-Arizona: Selected Water Res. Abs., June 1, 1970)
