  Summaries of the world's technical and scientific literature on water supply and water treatment from 1967 to present. Until 1994 the database (then known as Selected Water Resources Abstract) was produced by the United States Geological Survey and so deals mainly with the U.S.; since 1994 by Cambridge Scientic Abstracts it includes more material published outside of the U.S. The databse complements Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts which covers marine environment and biological material.
