  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The scope of area1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;investigations&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;resources&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;New&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;York has changed within the last 4 years. Prior 1962, most&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;investigations&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;covered only counties or smaller areas and were mainly restricted to ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;resources&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Since 1762, investigarions have covered largebasin (2,000‐4,000 square miles) with the purpose of defining total&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;resources&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so that basin‐wldc comprehensive plans for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;development can be prepared. Ground&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been intensively studied&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the basin&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;investigations&lt;span&gt;, both because of its large potential for future development, and becaus e of it sinterre lation with the surface‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;resources&lt;span&gt;. The latter reason is particularly important because the principal aquifers are numerous u nconnect edglacials and andgravel deposits that are crossed by streams. This ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;regimen to a large degree determines the flow characteristics and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;quality of streams. Conversely, streamflow data provide acon‐venient means of assessing ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;availability.Some&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;approaches&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;used&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;basin studies are: (1)(1) numerous quantitative and qualitative observations of low streamflow to define the principal areas of ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;discharge and to define the quantity and quality of discharging ground&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(2)estimation of total ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;dischar gepas stream gages from daily streamflow records by correlation with ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;levels and by analysis of the records (3) assessment of recharge to particular sand and gravel deposit swith inbroadlimits, using the data on ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;discharge to streams (4) estimation of a daily chemical quality hydrograph on the basis of quantity and quality of both ground‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;discharge and overland runoff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
