Interpretive Reports
The Oklahoma Water Science Center publishes water-information reports on many topics and in many formats. From this Web page, you can locate, view, download, or order scientific and technical articles and reports as well as general interest publications such as booklets, fact sheets, pamphlets, and posters resulting from the research performed by our scientists and partners.
Scientific Investigations Reports, Scientific Investigations Maps, and Water-Resources Investigations Reports are of an interpretive nature and are made available to the public outside the formal USGS publications series.
