PUBLICATIONS ON TECHNIQUES OF WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS
The USGS. publishes a series of manuals describing procedures for
planning and conducting specialized work in water-resources
investigations. The material 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. The chapter, the unit of
publication, is limited to a narrow field of subject matter. This
format permits flexibility in revision and publication as the need
arises.
The reports listed below are for sale by the USGS, Information
Services, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225
(authorized agent of the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office). Prepayment is required.
Remittance should be made in the form of a check or money order
payable to the "U.S. Geological Survey." Prices are
not included because they are subject to change. Current
prices can be obtained by writing to the above address. When
ordering or inquiring about prices for any of these
