B. S. USTYUZHANIN: Effect of Intensive Ground Water Use on Streamflow (in Russian). Abstract in Selected Water Resource Abstracts. Vol. 5, No. 1, 1972, p. 9. AISH-Unesco. Hydrology of Deltas. Proc. Bucharest Symp., May 6-4, 1969. AISH-Unesco co-edition, Paris, 1970. I. FRIEDMAN: Some Investigations of the Deposition of Travertine from Hot Springs. 1. The Isotopic Chemistry of a travertine-depositing Spring. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta. Vol. 34, No. 12, pp. 1303-1315. Dec. 1970. G. V. WILSONet al. : Evaluation of Test Drilling of Geophysical Methods used for Ground-Water Development in the Piedmont Area, Alabama. Alabama Geol. Surv. Circ. No. 65, p. 4. 1970. A. E. SCHEIDEGGER: Statistical Porous Media Hydrodynamics. Illinois Univ. Water Resource Council Research Rep. No. 17, July, 1968, 70 pp. M. L. STOREY" Measurement of Vertical Ground- Water Velocity from Temperature Profiles in Wells. Water Resources Res. Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. 963-970, Aug. 1970. Vertically moving groundwater transports heat by convection and causes curvature in the earth's thermal profile. Dimensionless plots of the temperature distribution in wells can be matched with published type curves to obtain solutions for vertical ground water velocity, if the thermal conductivity of the solid-fluid complex is known or can be estimated. Rates of upward movement through semi-confining beds determined from temperature studies in the San Luis Valley of Colorado and the Roswell Basin of New Mexico were in good agreement with rates computed from pumping tests and water budget methods. (Knapp, U.S.G.S.) R. J. RUSSELL: Water Table Effects on Sea Coasts. Geol. Soc. Amer. Bull. Vol. 82, No. 8, pp. 2343--48. Aug. 1971. Calcareous cementation of unconsolidated sediments and soils within the zone of water-table fluctuations in tropical climates results in the development of widespread layers of water-table rock that extend between bed rock and stream rock outcrops as well as for considerable distances inland. Along cliffy coasts in any climate, the water table separates weathered and leached rock, which is readily erodable, from underlying sections of relatively resistant rock. Along sea coasts, the water table boundary commonly is expressed by the presence of platforms, shoals and erosionally flattened bedrock in beaches
