Abstract:
As one of the 51 Water Resources Research Institutes administered
under the Water Resources Research Act of 1964, IWR receives a semimonthly
journal entitled Selected Water Resources Abstracts. The
bulletin, published by the Water Resources Scientific Information Center
(WRSIC) of the Office of Water Research and Technology, includes abstracts
of documents covering the water-related aspects of the life, physical,
and social sciences as well as related engineering and legal aspects of
the characteristics, conservation, control, use, or management of water.
Each abstract in the bulletin is classified into 10 fields and 60 groups
of water research categories (see page iii). In addition, the journal
contains a subject, author, and organizational index.
In an attempt to keep interested parties abreast of the research
being done in water resources in Alaska, the Institute of Water Resources
is planning to publish yearly all abstracts listed under the subject
index "Alaska." This report covers all citations for 1974.
