U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5065
Back to the Table of Contents
During 2002 – 03, numerous reports, conference proceedings papers, and abstracts were published that discussed results of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ground-water investigations in Georgia. Oral and poster presentations were given at various technical conferences and outreach events throughout the State. These publications and presentations discussed results of investigations conducted in cooperation with State, Federal, and local agencies including the Georgia Department of Natural Resources; U.S. Department of Defense, City of Brunswick, Glynn County; Albany Water, Gas, and Light Commission; City of Lawrenceville; and Rockdale County. Most of these publications are online, as well as in hard copy; online versions can be viewed and downloaded at http://ga.water.usgs.gov/ga004.html
An important conference that is cosponsored by the USGS and at which results of several USGS investigations are highlighted is the biennial Georgia Water-Resources Conference. The 8th biennial conference was held at The University of Georgia in Athens, during April 2003. Forty USGS papers, 19 of which addressed ground-water investigations, were published in the conference proceedings.
Other conferences and outreach events in which USGS ground-water scientists participated during 2002– 03 include:
