Committee meets on the first Monday of each

mands for our civilization has resulted
in the development of the science of
hydrology-the s c i e n c e of water,"
said Chief Engineer John Vandertulip
in summarizing the Texas Water Com-
mission's new publication. This report
summarizes the historical develop-
ment of hydrology and its recent re-
cognition as a separate and unique
field of scientific endeavor.
Published as Circular 63-03, "The
Development of the Science of Hy-
drology" may be obtained without
charge from the Commission's office,
P. 0. Box 2311-Capitol Station, Austin.
In Bibilical and earlier times the
philosophers and scholars were un-
certain of the origin of springs and
rivers and their theories of rainfall
were somewhat afar f r o m 'today's
science. Yet, despite their probable
lack of knowledge of modern engine-
ering refinements, they built water
supplies for irrigation, domestic and
municipal use, and even crude in-
dustrial innovations. Certainly t h e y
answered to the agevold s a y i n g
"Necessity is the mother of invention."
In the pioneer United States, our
development was near rivers and na-
tural lakes for domestic use, for irri-
gation, and for transportation. As ex-
pansion spread westward, nature often
betrayed man as floods or drought
molded and changed our way of life.
The control and conservation of water
was necessary to cope with growth.
The science of hydrology is the tool
of man's mastering, to a great extent,
the use of water-our most important
natural resource. Billions of gallons
of flood waters of today are stored in
major reservoirs as a safeguard a-
gainst tomorrow's w a t e r shortages
through drought."Throughout the ages, the well-be-
ing of the civilization has been, and
will forever be, dependent upon the
available and useable water," the Cir-
cular states. "Without proper use of
land and water, progress and even
the survival of people is questionable."
Although the first roots of hydro-
logic knowledge date back to antiq-
uity, most of the phenomena of ground
water hydrology are so exceedingly
complex that, to a casual observer,
fundamental natural laws seem non-
existent. Notwithstanding this seem-
ing confusion, however, the laws of
ground water as well as those of water
in lakes and streams is subject to care-
ful observation by scientists and to
predictions of future developments.
"In cases where the field conditions
are compatible with the theoretical
mathematical relationships, quick an-
swers can be given by hydrologists
regarding the prediction of future
water levels, the design of well fields,
and the determination of optimum
well yields and pump types," the re-
port states. ". . where complicated
hydrologic conditions cannot be ex-
pressed by easily solvable mathemati-
cal relationships. . .tremendous ad-
vances have been made through use of
modern computer methods, including
analog models."
