Preface

The series of manuals on techniques describes procedures for planning and executing specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material is grouped under major subject headings called "books" and further subdivided into sections and chapters. Section A of Book 3 is on surface water.

The unit of publication, the chapter, is limited to a narrow field of subject matter. This format permits flexibility in revision and publication as the need arises. Chapter A20 of Book 3 (TWRI3A20) deals with the simulation of soluble waste transport and buildup in surface waters using tracers.

Provisional drafts of chapters are distributed to field offices of the U.S. Geological Survey for their use. These drafts are subject to revision because of experience in use or because of advancement in knowledge, techniques, or equipment. After the technique described in a chapter is sufficiently developed, the chapter is published and is for sale by the U.S. Geological Survey, Books and Open-File Reports Section, Federal Center, Box 25286, Denver, Colorado 80225.
