PUBLICATIONS ON TECHNIQUES OF WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS
The USGS publishes a series of manuals titled the "Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations" that describe procedures for planning and conducting specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material in these manuals is grouped under major subject headings called books and is further divided into sections and chapters. For example, section A of book 3 (Applications of Hydraulics) pertains to surface water. Each chapter then is limited to a narrow field of the section subject matter. This publication format permits flexibility when revision or printing is required.
Manuals in the Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations series, which are listed below, are available online at http://water.usgs.gov/pubs/twri. Printed copies are available for sale from the USGS, Information Services, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225 (an authorized agent of the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office).
