  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;One of man's fundamental needs is water. &amp;nbsp;Modern man needs both a safe and dependable supply of water to maintain his present economic, industrial, and cultural level. &amp;nbsp;In order to use this natural resource in the most efficient and beneficial manner, a basic knowledge and understanding of water sources, and of the occurrence and potential of each source, needs to be gained. &amp;nbsp;To provide this information, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Iowa Geological Survey, has compiled this atlas. &amp;nbsp;It describes the water resources available for development in an 11-county area in north-central Iowa. The report contains information on the quantity, quality, and use of water from all known sources of water. &amp;nbsp;This information is presented to aid water users and developers who are searching for and evaluating sources of water for specific sites. &amp;nbsp;It also will be an aid to water planners and managers who must develop the available water resources on a regional basis.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
