Since the late 19th Century, long before the first U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
office was opened in Wyoming,
Criteria for Inclusion.—
In this bibliography we have attempted to include all reports that contain
information about water in Wyoming and for which at least one author was a Reports of investigations that are regional (multi-State) in scope may contain new data or conclusions specific to Wyoming, or estimating procedures applicable to Wyoming—a method for estimating the magnitude of floods at ungaged sites, for example. Such reports are included in this bibliography. Reports of regional studies that contain analysis of previously published data for Wyoming but no conclusions specific to Wyoming generally are excluded, with the benefit of the doubt given to inclusion.
Organization.—
The reports are listed two ways: geographically and by report series. In
the geographic lists, the reports are listed in standard
The reports also are listed by report series in USGS
catalog format (as used in the catalogs, "Publications of the U.S. Geological
Survey"). Reports in numbered series, such as
Reports of hydrologic data (records of streamflow, water quality, and ground-water levels) are listed separately and chronologically by report type. Flood-prone area maps are listed separately by river basin for each of the four geographic areas shown on the map. For the user's convenience, reports about floods in Wyoming (specific floods that have occurred and hydrology of Wyoming floods) are listed in a separate compilation, in addition to the geographic and series listings.
View Reports Online.—
Most In addition, the Survey's Cartography and Publishing Program, Office of Water Information, together with the Geographic Information Office, have begun a large project to scan paper copies of all numbered-series reports not currently available for viewing online. The names of those files have the suffix .djvu. To date, approximately 800 reports listed in this bibliography have been scanned, converted to DjVu ® files, and served online—mainly Professional Papers, Water-Supply Papers, Circulars, Water-Resources Investigations Reports, Open-File Reports, and water-resources data reports published as Water-Supply Papers. Links to the online files are provided with the listings. A few of the 112 reports served as html files also are served as DjVu ® files. As additional reports are scanned and made available online, links will be added in this bibliography. In order to view DjVu ® files, a free Windows plug-in by Lizardtech is required.
