This report provides a summary of four year study of the Lower Susqehanna River Basin.
Major findings are available in the online version and the news release .
Program are being achieved through ongoing and proposed investigations of 60 study units, which are comprised of the Nation's most important river basins and aquifer systems. To make the program cost effective and manageable, intensive assessment activities in each of the study units are being conducted on a rotational rather than a continuous basis, with one-third of the study units being studied intensively at any given time. The first twenty study-unit investigations began in 1991, the second twenty began in 1994, and the third twenty are scheduled to begin in 1997. The Lower Susquehanna River Basin study unit was among those begun in 1991. The study unit entered a low-intensity phase in 1997.
