Regional/National Ground-Water Evaluations

GWRP emphasizes the national and regional interests in ground water by conducting multidisciplinary studies of ground-water availability. There is growing recognition by water managers and municipalities that ground-water resources could be managed on an aquifer wide scale and are now looking for ways to better manage known ground-water resources while also looking for supplemental sources of water. The following descriptions are ongoing and completed regional evaluations and research supported by the GWRP.

ONGOING:

• Ground-Water Availability of Selected Principal Aquifers
• Pilot--Water Availability and Use Initiative
• Natural Ground-Water Recharge
• Karst Hydrology Initiative/Fractured-Rock Aquifer Studies
• Southwest Ground-Water Resources

COMPLETED:

• Atlantic Coastal Zone Studies
• Middle Rio Grande Basin Study
