Publications of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources 
Division, for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, 
1899-1992
By Ruth I. Guzman-Otero 
Abstract
A list of publications of the water-resources investigations conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water 
Resources Division, for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands was compiled. The water-resources data and the results 
of the interpretive investigations and research are published by either the U.S. Geological Survey or cooperating 
agencies. This report lists all publications resulting from water-resources activities in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin 
Islands from 1899 to 1992, and lists sources of publication information in the U.S. Geological Survey.
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division's mission is to provide the hydrologic information and 
understanding needed for the optimum utilization and management of the Nations water resources for the overall benefit 
of the people of the United States and its territories. The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted water-resources 
investigations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands since 1899.
The U.S. Geological Survey Caribbean District office was established in Puerto Rico in 1957. Since then, almost all 
of the water-resources investigations conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey have been in cooperation with local 
agencies. The studies include data collection related to streamflow, ground-water levels, water-quality, sediment 
transport, water-use inventories, and areal water-resources appraisals. The results of these investigations are published 
in a variety of data and interpretive reports.
ORGANIZATION OF THE PUBLICATIONS
This report includes publications regarding water-resources information in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands 
released from 1899 to 1992. The publications are grouped into four categories: by author(s), by specific locations in 
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, by discipline of interest (climate and geomorphology, floods, geology, ground 
water, ground-water level, ground-water modeling, sediment, surface water, water quality, and water use), and 
publication by series or type. For the reader's information, a list of approved reports pending publication is included. 
As these reports are completed and printed, they will be available for distribution.
Introduction
For each publication the following information is presented: author(s), year of publication, title, publisher, type of 
publication, and number of pages. Publications in all categories are listed alphabetically by senior author, except for the 
section on types of publications, which are in numerical order. There is also a section entitled 'Maps of Puerto Rico and 
the U.S. Virgin Islands' which shows the location of the U.S. Geological Survey Caribbean District (fig. 1), the 
municipios in Puerto Rico (fig. 2), the topographic maps (quadrangles) for Puerto Rico (fig. 3), the principal rivers in 
Puerto Rico (fig. 4), the principal streams in Culebra and Vieques, Puerto Rico (fig. 5), the principal drainages in St. 
Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands (fig. 6), the principal drainages in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (fig. 7), and 
the topographic maps (quadrangles) for the U.S. Virgin Islands (fig. 8). The reader should refer to these figures when 
necessary to find a particular area. An index of authors is also included at the end of this report. To help make this report 
more useful to the user, it would be appreciated if discrepancies are noted and sent to the Caribbean District office 
mentioned below, so that corrections can be incorporated into the next edition.
SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PUBLICATIONS
Many of the publications listed in this report may be available from the U.S. Geological Survey, Caribbean District 
office. Journal articles, proceedings papers, and abstracts by Geological Survey personnel in non-Geological Survey 
publications are not available from the U.S. Geological Survey. Inquiries concerning available publications can be made 
by writing to the following address:

The inquiry should include the author of the report, type and number, and the full title of the report. The Caribbean 
District office also maintains library copies of some of the out-of-print publications. Many of the listed publications are 
out-of-print and can be obtained only through the National Technical Information Services (NTIS) or from the U.S.

Water-Resources Bulletins (USGS)
Bulletins contain significant data and interpretations that are of lasting scientific interest but are generally more limited in scope 
or geographic coverage than professional papers. They include the results of resource studies and of geologic and topographic 
investigations; as well as collections of short papers related to a specific topic.

WATER-DATA REPORTS
The annual hydrologic data reports of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are of a series of annual reports that document 
hydrologic data gathered from the U.S. Geological Survey's surface- and ground-water data-collection networks in each state, 
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the other Trust Territories. These data, accumulated during many water years, 
constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding of the water resources of the area.
Water-resources data for Puerto Rico for calendar years 1958-67 were released in a series of reports entitled "Water Records 
of Puerto Rico." Water-resources data for the U.S. Virgin Islands for the calendar years 1962-69 were released in a report 
entitled "Water Records of U.S. Virgin Islands." Included were records of streamflow, ground-water levels, and water-quality 
data for both surface and ground water.
Beginning with the 1968 calendar year, surface-water records for Puerto Rico were released separately on an annual basis. 
Ground-water level records and water-quality data for surface and ground water were released in companion reports covering 
periods of several years. Data for the 1973-74 reports were published under separate covers. Water-resources data reports for 
1975-76, 1977, 1978, 1979-80, 1981-82, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991 water years consist of 
one volume each and contain data for streamflow, water quality, and ground water.
Publications similar to these reports are published annually by the U.S. Geological Survey for all States. These official Survey 
reports have an identification number consisting of the two-letter State abbreviation, the last two digits of the water year, and 
the volume number. For example, the most recent volume is identified as "U.S. Geological Survey Water-Data Report PR-90- 
1." These water-data reports are for sale in paper copy or in microfiche by the National Technical Information Service, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Springfield, Virginia, 22161, (Curtis and others, 1991).
