U. S. Geological Survey programs in Wisconsin
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has served as the Nation’s principal collector, repository, and interpreter of earth science data for more than a century. In this capacity, the USGS in Wisconsin works in partnership with State, county, municipal public works departments, public health agencies, water and sanitation districts, Indian agencies, and other Federal agencies.

Water-quality, streamflow, and meteorological data for the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon, 1991-93
Surface-water-quality data, ground-water-quality data, streamflow data, field measurements, aquatic-biology data, meteorological data, and quality-assurance data were collected in the Tualatin River Basin from 1991 to 1993 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County, Oregon (USA). The data from that study, which are part of this report, are presented i

National water summary on wetland resources
This National Water Summary on Wetland Resources documents wetland resources in the United States. It presents an overview of the status of knowledge of wetlands at the present time-what they are, where they are found, why they are important, and the controversies surrounding them, with an emphasis on their hydrology. Wetland resources in each State, the District of Columbia (combined with Marylan
Simulation analysis of the ground-water flow system in the Portland Basin, Oregon and Washington
This report presents results derived from a numerical model of the ground-water flow system in the Portland Basin, Oregon and Washington, that was used to test and refine the conceptual understanding of the flow system, estimate the effects of past and future human-caused changes to ground-water recharge and discharge on ground-water levels and streamflow, and determine priorities for ground-water

Drought-trigger ground-water levels and analysis of historical water-level trends in Chester County, Pennsylvania
The Chester County observation-well network was established in 1973 through a cooperative agreement between the Chester County Water Resources Authority (CCWRA) and the U.S. Geological Survey. The network was established to monitor local ground-water levels, to determine drought conditions, and to monitor ground-water-level trends. Drought-warning and drought-emergency water-level triggers were de

The difference between the potentiometric surfaces of the Magothy Aquifer of September 1975 and September 1995 in southern Maryland
A map showing the net change in the poentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer in the Magothy Formation of Cretaceous age in southern Maryland from September 1975 to September 1995 was based on water-level measurements in 67 wells. The map shows that the decline of the potentiometric surface during the 20-year period ranged from 2 to 21 feet in the northernmost part of the study area. The decl
