Abstract
In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began
full-scale implementation of the National Water-Quality
Assessment,(NAWQA) program. The three major objectives of
the program are to provide a consistent description of current
water-quality conditions for a large part of the Nation's water
resources; define long-term trends (or lack thereof); and
identify, describe, and explain the major factors that affect
observed water-quality conditions and trends. The NAWQA
program includes investigations of hydrologic systems in 60
study units that include parts of most major river basins and
aquifer systems in the United States. Study units range in size
from 1,200 to about 65,000 square miles, and incorporate 60 to 70 percent of the Nation's water use and population served
by public water-supply systems. The Apalachicola-
Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River basin (Figure 1) was
among the first 20 NAWQA study units selected for study
under the full-scale implementation plan.
