Water-Use Estimates for West Virginia, 2004

Documentation of methods and inventory of irrigation data collected for the 2000 and 2005 U.S. Geological Survey Estimated use of water in the United States, comparison of USGS-compiled irrigation data to other sources, and recommendations for future compilations

“…After compiling the data, documenting the methods used to estimate the data, and entering required data into AWUDS, the WSC sends the information to its regional water-use specialist for review. others, 2009), Arkansas (Holland, 2007), Colorado (Ivahnenko, 2009;Ivahnenko and Flynn, 2010), Florida (Marella, 2009), Georgia (Fanning and Trent, 2009), Louisiana (Sargent, 2007), Oklahoma (Tortorelli, 2009), Puerto Rico (Molina-Rivera andGomez-Gomez, 2008), South Dakota (Carter and Neitzert, 2008), Washington (Lane, 2009) Virginia (Atkins, 2007), and Wisconsin (Buchwald, 2009 Agriculture, 1999aAgriculture, , 2004aAgriculture, , and 2009a1998FRIS reports (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1999b, 2004b, and 2009b (Johnson and Mueller, 2010). The satellite imagery was cross-referenced with a sample of field-verified data from the Farm Service Agency's (FSA) "Common Land Unit" across the country.…”

“…Twelve WSCs published reports covering the data and methods used for the 2005 USGS water-use compilation on irrigation as well as the other categories. The WSCs that published reports include Alabama (Hutson and others, 2009), Arkansas (Holland, 2007), Colorado (Ivahnenko, 2009 andIvahnenko andFlynn, 2010), Florida (Marella, 2009), Georgia (Fanning and Trent, 2009), Louisiana (Sargent, 2007), Oklahoma (Tortorelli, 2009), Puerto Rico (Molina-Rivera and Gomez-Gomez, 2008), South Dakota (Carter and Neitzert, 2008), Washington (Lane, 2009), West Virginia (Atkins, 2007), and Wisconsin (Buchwald, 2009). If available, information on type of irrigation system, source of irrigation water withdrawals, and any changes in estimation methodology between the 2000 and 2005 WSC documentation also is presented.…”

A critical analysis of Bristol Airport's employee surface access habits: Developing strategic recommendations for reducing private vehicle usage

“…Reports stated that bus services were experiencing reliability issues due to congestion (Avon Local Councils Association, 2015;North Somerset Council, 2016;Scottish Government, 2003). Congestion is blamed on a lack of dual carriageway or rail access (Atkins, 2017;House of Commons, 2016;Ch2m Hill, 2016). Kouwenhoven (2008) suggests that accessibility to public transport is important as this can reduce congestion.…”

“…This adds knowledge that congestion is not a primary factor in modal choice despite the fact that reliability issues might be due to congestion (Avon Local Councils Association, 2015;North Somerset Council, 2016;Scottish Government, 2003). A lack of dual carriageway or rail access has the potential to exacerbate the congestion issue, however, (Atkins, 2017;House of Commons, 2016;Ch2m Hill, 2016). Thus, lack of infrastructure to/from Bristol is a longer term barrier to modal shift.…”

Private well groundwater quality in West Virginia, USA–2010

“…Census Bureau, 2016). An estimated 23% of West Virginians obtain their water from private wells (Atkins, 2007). However, a comprehensive assessment of constituents in drinking water derived from private wells in West Virginia does not exist.…”
