#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  TABLE_1_metadata.txt
#
#	This is a summary of original and revised estimates of withdrawals from principal and Other 
#	aquifers, and estimated withdrawals attributed to stream-valley aquifers. All withdrawals are in 
#	millions of gallons per day (Mgal/d). The table shows the original estimated withdrawals, from the 
#	2000 National Water Use Information Program compilation and reported in Maupin and Barber, 2005 
#	(Maupin and Barber, 2005, Estimated Withdrawals from Principal Aquifers in the United States, 2000:
#	U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1279, 45p. locted at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/cir/cir1279/).
#	The table shows the original and the revised withdrawal for each State that was investigated in this project.
#	The table also shows the difference between the revised and original withdrawals and how the difference
#	is reassigned to another aquifer. Not all principal or Other aquifers for all 
#	States are shown, only those that were revised through the work on this project and reflected in 
#	this report. There are 20 States and 27 records.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  TABLE_2_metadata.txt
#
#	This data set was used as table 2 in the report Estimated Withdrawals from 
#	Stream-Valley Aquifers and Refined Esimated Withdrawals from Selected Aquifers 
#	in the United States, 2000, which allocated water-use withdrawals for three major
#	categoris of use from Alluvial and Other principal aquifers to alluvial aquifers 
#	associated with major rivers.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  TABLE_3_metadata.txt
#
#	Table 3 contains estimated withdrawals for irrigation, public-supply, and self-supplied industrial 
#	uses from stream-valley aquifers associated with major rivers and principal aquifers in 20 States 
#	in 2000. There are about 133 records, organized by State and aquifer or water-bearing units. 
#	Withdrawals are in millions of gallons per day (Mgal/d) for 2000.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  TABLE_4_metadata.txt
#
#	Table 4 shows the distribution of estimated withdrawals for irrigation, public-supply, and self-
#	supplied industrial uses from aquifers and water-bearing units disaggregated from withdrawals from 
#	Other aquifers in 10 States, in 2000. Withdrawals are in millions of gallons per day (Mgal/d). 
#	There are 82 records and the data are organized by State, then water-bearing unit and shows 
#	withdrawals for each of the three categories of use.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  TABLE_5_metadata.txt
#
#	Table 5 shows estimated withdrawals from stream-valley aquifers associated with major rivers, 
#	creeks, and areas by water-resources region, in 2000. Withdrawals in are in millions of gallons 
#	per day (Mgal/d) and derived from the 2000 compilations. There are 62 records, organized by water 
#	resource region, with the stream-valley aquifer withdrawals associated with rivers in that region. 
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  tblPrimaryAquifer&Pumpage_metadata.txt
#
#	This file contains the original database from table 2 in Circular 1279 (Estimated Withdrawals from 
#	Principal Aquifers in the United States, 2000, Maupin and Barber, 2005). The table lists the principal
#	aquifer name, the state name, and withdrawal totals for irrigation, public-supply, self-supplied 
#	industrial and a total of the three categories. All data are from 2000 compilation and in million 
#	gallons per day (Mgal/d). There are 286 records.
#	
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  tblsva1_metadata.txt
#
#	This is a table with 96 records showing data elements for State name, SVA name, and total withdrawals,
#	and withdrawals for irrigation, public-supply, and self-supplied industrial water uses. The table also
#	contains the status code from the tblStatus.txt, and finally the watershed for which that withdrawals
#	in that state and from the SVA belong. A watershed represents the HUC 2-digit watershed designations
#	(such as Arkansas-White-Red). Withdrawals are from the 2000 NWUIP compilation and are in million 
#	gallons per day (Mgal/d).
