#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: pasum_int.wellsites.txt
#
#   This data set contains site information for wells included in the
#   subject report. The data were compiled between Novermber 2009 and 
#   July 2010. The data set includes station identifiers, principal 
#   aquifer and principal aquifer lithology, water-use information, NAWQA 
#   study code and NAWQA study code type.
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: pasum_int.wellchars.txt
#
#   This data set contains well characteristics, including well depth,
#   depth to water, and degree of aquifer confinement for the wells 
#   included in the subject report. The data were retrieved from the DWH 
#   in August 2010.
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: pasum_int.field.txt
#
#   This data set contains water-quality data for 4 field properties for

#   retrieved from the DWH in August 2010.
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: pasum_int.majors.txt
#
#   This data set contains water-quality data for 10 major ions, total
