USGS/DODEC
Annual meeting agenda
| PROGRAMS | USGS
offices in every State conduct ground-water studies in
cooperation with local and State governments, with other Federal Agencies,
and as part of the USGS Water Resources
Programs. Contacts are
available in each state to assist with any questions. Obtain information on Water Use in the United States. Learn about the Ground-Water Resources Program assessment of Ground-water resources in the southwestern United States and Freshwater-Saltwater Interactions along the Atlantic Coast.  Factsheets on issues
and activities for the Atlantic Coastal
Zone and the Desert Basins of
the Southwest Strategic Directions for the U.S. Geological Survey Ground-Water Resources Program |
|---|
| PUBLICATIONS | Information about ground-water resources of the Nation,
including the location, the extent, and the geologic and hydrologic
characteristics of major aquifers, are available in the Ground Water Atlas of
the United States, and other USGS Ground Water
Publications and USGS Fact
Sheets. Also available are publications on groundwater
modeling, data collection, and water use. Introductory documents on hydrology Ground Water | Glossary of Hydrologic Terms | Aquifer Basics Learn about The Importance of Ground Water in the Great Lakes Region. View the latest on-line circulars: Ground Water And Surface Water : A Single Resource and Land Subsidence in the United States. Obtain the proceedings
of the 1999 USGS conference on the Effects
of Animal Feeding Operations (AFOs) on Hydrologic Resources and the
Environment  MODFLOW
2000 User Guides availableObtain the latest update to U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1104 Summary of selected computer programs produced by the U.S. Geological Survey for simulation of ground-water flow and quality - 1994 (Update 9/1/2000) |
|---|
| TECHNIQUES | Scientists in the USGS have long been active in development
and implementation of techniques useful in ground-water investigations.
Applications
software, including groundwater flow models
and geochemical models, surface and borehole geophysical tools,
chemical and isotopic age-dating methods, and hydrogeologic mapping, are
all different facets of USGS technical capabilities in ground-water
studies.
HYDMOD:
an enhancement to MODFLOW-96 that allows time-series data from a
simulation to be saved in a file. New report released describing a computer program (WTAQ) for analysis of aquifer tests in confined and water-table aquifers Learn about new computer programs developed for Telescopic Mesh Refinement using MODFLOW-96 |
