Quantifying effects of climate change on the snowmelt-dominated groundwater resources of northern New England [More info]: Planned analysis of the sensitivity of groundwater levels to changes in air temperature and precipitation. Changes in groundwater recharge and discharge also will be correlated with other hydrologic indicators.
Science to support the understanding of Ohio's water resources [More info]: Short descriptions of a variety of ongoing USGS studies focused on water resources in Ohio.
Source Water-Quality Assessment [More info]: Characterize the quality of selected rivers and aquifers used as a source of supply to community water systems in the United States to determine the occurrence of about 280 primary unregulated anthropogenic organic compounds.
Source, Use, and Disposition of Freshwater in Puerto Rico, 2005 [More info]: Quantitative analysis of water use statistics for Puerto Rico, showing domestic, agricultural, industrial, and electric power as the main offstream uses.
South Florida Restoration Science Forum [More info]: Discussions and posters about agriculture, ecology, hydrology, ecosystems, and resource management efforts in south Florida.
Summary of estimated water use in the United States in 2005 [More info]: Estimates the amount of several types of water (surface or groundwater, freshwater or saltwater) withdrawn for use in 2005, detailing the major activities for which the water was used.
Sustainability of Water Resources in the Fractured-Rock Area of Maryland [More info]: Explains why a water resource assessment for the area west of the Fall Line is needed.
Terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) at a glance [More info]: Explains 16 distinct types of scientific information that are needed to understand climate change, including the specific parameters measured, why they are needed, who measures them, and the type and amount of information that are not yet available.
USGS / Department of Energy cooperative studies in Nevada [More info]: Describes cooperation of the USGS office in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the Department of Energy to address environmental and scientific issues at the Nevada Test Site and vicinity with links to project information.
Using geochemical and statistical tools to identify irrigated areas that might contain high selenium concentrations in surface water [More info]: Program using pattern recognition analysis and classification models to determine areas of irrigated land with concentrations of selenium.
