Brackish groundwater (BGW), defined for this assessment as having a dissolved-solids concentration between 1,000 and 10,000 milligrams per liter is an unconventional source of water that may offer a partial solution to current (2016) and future water challenges. In support of the National Water Census, the U.S. Geological Survey has completed a BGW assessment to gain a better understanding of the occurrence and character of BGW resources of the United States as an alternative source of water. Analyses completed as part of this assessment relied on previously collected data from multiple sources, and no new data were collected. One of the most important contributions of this assessment was the creation of a database...

PRD1, an icosahedra-shaped, 62 nm (diameter), double-stranded DNA bacteriophage with an internal membrane, has emerged as an important model virus for studying the manner in which microorganisms are transported through a variety of groundwater environments. The popularity of this phage for use in transport studies involving geologic media is due, in part, to its relative stability over a range of temperatures and low degree of attachment in aquifer sediments. Laboratory and field investigations employing PRD1 are leading to a better understanding of viral attachment and transport behaviors in saturated geologic media and to improved methods for describing mathematically subsurface microbial transport at environmentally...
The present chapter focuses on the laboratory and field experiments that are used to quantify rates of biogeochemical processes and develop conceptual models of the role of bacteria in the carbon and energy flow in subsurface environments. Several integrated studies are presented that used multidisciplinary approach to examine the evolution of groundwater ecosystems. Because of the increasing i...
In this chapter, the laboratory and field techniques for studying microbial transport behaviour in aquifer materials and model porous media are described and discussed.

This is one of five general categories that contain the water related elements of the Rio Grande/Bravo basin. This category includes some of hydrologic and climatic components of the United States and Mexico that overlap with the basin boundary. The vector datasets under this category are the main rivers, water bodies, monitoring points, watershed boundaries. Regarding the raster data sets, the category includes incofmation on average monthly precipitation, temperature and evapotranspiration on the basin
