National water summary 1986: Hydrologic events and ground-water quality. Annual report
This report is the fourth of an annual series describing the Nation's water resources, focuses on ground-water quality, and summarizes the ambient quality of ground water in the principal water-supply aquifers and describes the nature and extent of ground-water contamination in each State, the District of Columbia, and the territories. Each summary contains multicolor illustrations that show selected geographic features and the 1985 population distribution; the location of principal aquifers and presentations of data related to water quality in those principal aquifers; and the location of selected waste sites, areas of naturally impaired ground-water quality, and areas reflecting human-induced contamination. Also summarized are the State agencies, laws, and regulations involved in ground-water-quality management.
