Database Description Water Resources Abstracts Content Water Resources Abstracts offers a comprehensive range of water-related topics 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, initiated in 1968, was produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, until 1994, and is now produced by Cambridge Scientific Abstracts.
Coverage emphasizes English-language materials, and most records contain an informative abstract.
Records are indexed using controlled vocabulary from the Water Resources Thesaurus, and other index terms where needed. Sources Water Resources Abstracts contains abstracts of the world's literature, including journal articles, monographs, reports, patents, conference proceedings, and U.S. government publications submitted to U.S. government agencies by organizations involved in water research.
