Technical Guide to Managing Ground Water Resources
Author: Steve Glasser | Size: 7.9 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: US Forest Service | Year: May 2007 | pages: 295
This technical guide provides guidance for implementing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service national ground water policy. It describes hydrological, geological, and ecological concepts, as well as the managerial responsibilities that must be considered to ensure the wise and sustainable
use of ground water resources on NFS lands.
This document is one part of a four-part information system on ground water management on the national forests and grasslands. The other three parts are (1) Forest Service policy on ground water (Forest Service Manuals [FSM] 2543 and 2880); (2) a Forest Service sourcebook on State ground water laws, regulations, and case law for all 43 States with NFS land; and (3) a ground water inventory and monitoring technical guide. When complete, the four parts will provide line officers and technical specialists at all field levels with the science, policy, and legal framework for Forest Service ground water-resource management. Users of this document are strongly encouraged to refer to all of these documents when dealing with a ground water-resource issue.
This technical guide is intended for Forest Service line officers and managers and their technical-support staffs. Managers will be interested in Parts 1 and 2, in which information is resented on management considerations and on the importance of ground water issues. Part 3 and the appendixes provide more
detailed information on basic hydrogeological principles and ground water investigation methods that may be most appropriate for technical support staffs.
