During the period 1920 to 1940, Professor Cyrus F. Tolman played an important role in the history of ground water hydrology in the United States by establishing and fostering a program of ground water hydrology at Stanford University (Remson 2002). During this same period, O.E. Meinzer, often called the Father of Ground Water Hydrol- ogy in the United States, was assembling and mentoring a team of scientists who would establish ground water hydrology as an important force within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). However, we can trace the roots of ground water
