In 1937 an inventory of water wells in Swisher County, including depth- to-water mea~urements, was made cooperatively by the United States Geological Survey and the Texas Board of Water Engineers. Observation wells were selected and water-level measurements have been made since 1937 as a part of a State-wide cooperative program. In 1945 a new inventory was 'made to bring the old records up-to-date. If more than one water-level measurement was made during a month, only the highest water-level is given in this report.

The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District: a Case
THE BRAZOS VALLEY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT: A CASE STUDY IN TEXAS GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION Katherine D. Teel, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Randolph B. Campbell, Major Professor Andrew Torget, Committee Member J. Todd Moye, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Teel, Katherine D. The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District: A case study in Texas groundwater conservation. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 90 pp., 6 illustrations, bibliography, 110 titles. This thesis examines the history of groundwater management through the development of groundwater conservation districts in Texas. Political, economic, ideological, and scientific understandings of groundwater and its regulation varied across the state, as did the natural resource types and quantities, which created a diverse and complicated position for lawmakers and landowners. Groundwater was consistently interpreted as a private property right and case law protected unrestricted use for the majority of the twentieth-century even as groundwater resources crossed property and political boundaries, and water tables declined particularly during the second-half of the century. The case study of the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District describes the complicated history of groundwater in Texas as the state attempted to balance natural resource legislation and private property rights and illuminate groundwater’s importance for the future. Copyright 2011 by Katherine D. Teel ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to personally thank my committee for leading me through the thesis process and degree. The entire committee was helpful and encouraging throughout, consistently challenged my academic abilities, and pushed me to develop as a historian.
