Monthly newsletter of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1, discussing the field of underground water. Topics include profiles of water conservation research, annual pre-plant soil moisture survey data, annual Winter Water Level measurement data, and information about the latest water conservation tips.

This thesis describes the design, selection and scale model test results of a contour design for a convectively-cooled, ground test nozzle extension which originates at an area ratio of 5:1 (termination point of main nozzle).

This report documents technical progress at the Santa Barbara Division and the Las Vegas Division. Topics reported on from Santa Barbara include: ecology studies at NTS, passive neutron detection techniques, Henre spectrum modifier, exposure rate conversion studies, delineation of cosmic ray effects, development of isotope contouring techniques, initial radiation studies, detector array response calculations, and arms data analysis compendium. The Las Vegas Division reports on: radiation propagation and free field experiments, Henre, bio-med studies support, IR scanner interpretation techniques, arms support, and pertinent projects relative to DBM programs.

Report describing the design, construction, test programs, and economic issues relating to an Experimental Continuous Ion Exchange Desulfating Softening Plant and how the conclusions drawn from its operation could be used for the desulfation of sea water with desalination plants.

Report concerning fluid-bed evaporation as a possible method of separating waste brine into salts and pure water. Two process operations are examined: "(1) feed introduction to the evaporator through submered tubes, and (2) fludizization of soluble salt particles by superheated steam" (p. viii).

The advent of very high power, high energy pulsed laser systems has stimulated considerable thinking regarding how such systems might be used to engender thermonuclear microexplosions, and, in particular, explosions which may produce more energy than the inputted laser energy or even more energy than that used to pump the laser. Some of the basic physical principles and processes constraining laser-CTR proposals will be discussed, and application of them made to establish basic levels of feasibility of these published types of CTR schemes. It is demonstrated that this class of thermonuclear microexplosions has no potential CTR utility with lasers likely to be available in the next few years.

Geology, exploration, and initial developments of significant geothermal areas of the world are summarized in this report which is divided into two parts. Part 1 is a review of the geological and explorational aspects of geothermal energy development; areas of potential development in the Western United States are also discussed. The most favorable geological environment for exploration and development of geothermal steam is characterized by recent normal faulting, volcanism, and high heat flow. Successful exploration for steam consists of coordinated multidisciplinary application of geological, geophysical, and geochemical knowledge and techniques. These are reviewed. California leads in known geothermal reserves and is followed by Nevada, Oregon, and New Mexico. Specific prospective areas in these 11 Western States are described.

This report provides a bibliography of resources related the topic of wage-price controls.

Report on the ground water in Montgomery County contained in sands of the Catahoula Standstone, lower part of the Jasper aquifer, Burkeville aquiclude, Evangeline aquifer, and Chicot aquifer.

Report on the groundwater resources in Montgomery County, Texas. The report explores the size of aquifers, quality of the water in the various aquifers, and the possible effects of the groundwater becoming a commercial water source.

This report discusses diseases which cause kidney failure, dialysis treatment for patients with end-stage kidney failure, and kidney transplants (both the process and financing needs and programs). Legislation in Congress related to medical research and aid for patients in need of kidney transplants is also discussed.

This report is a series of tables concerning the Nixon administration's revenue sharing proposals.
