Basic statistics - 1977 National Resources Inventory. Statistical bulletin
This publication presents the data from the National Resources Inventory (NRI) that was conducted in 1977 by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS). This publication summarizes data on 11 resource elements: land use, small water areas, floodprone areas, irrigated land, conservation needs for various land uses, sheet and rill erosion, prime farmland, potential for new cropland, wind erosion, soil quality, and wetlands. These data update the 1967 estimates of conservation needs and soil erosion, and can be used in the appraisal of 1977 resource conditions and trends. The inventory was designed to provide statistically accurate data for nonfederal rural lands in each state, except Alaska, and in the Caribbean area.
