File Description [top]

Water Resources Abstracts offers a comprehensive range of water-related topics summarizing the world's technical and scientific literature on water-related topics covering the characteristics, conservation, control, pollution, treatment, use and management of water resources in the life and physical sciences, as well as the engineering and legal aspects of the conservation, control, use, and management of water.

The database was originally produced by the United States Geological Survey starting in 1968 when it was generally known as Selected Water Resources Abstracts. Since 1994, Water Resources Abstracts has been produced by CSA, which broadened the scope by including more material published outside the U.S.A. This database, which concentrates on water supply and water treatment, complements the Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts database, ASFA, where there is greater coverage of the marine environment and biological material. Records are indexed using controlled vocabulary from the Water Resources Thesaurus, and other index terms where needed.
