Bak~r':and iI). 1936 by engineers, of the :Resettlement Adminis- tration are included in this bulletino . In 1937 an inventory of wat~r wells ,in Lamb .County i;ncl~ding depth-to- water measurements was made cooperatively by the United States Geological Survey, .~ the Texas Board of Water Engineers and the Work Projects Administration. Obse~- vation well~ selected in 1937 for water-level measurements, have been measured periodically since then as a part of a state-wide cooperative program with the Uo S. Geolo~ical.~urveyo . If m9re t~an one water-level measurement was made ,during a month, only the highest water level for that month ,is given. in this reporto The accompanying map shows the location of the observation wells with the well numbers assigned to them in the recordso Discussions of the water-level measurements, pumping, rainfall, recharg~, geology and other factors are given in reports referred to ,~ in the following list of publications. 2 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS ..'- ' ALEXANDER, WC) H.
