WATER RESOURCES NETSITES

(Cambridge Scientific Abstracts' RouteNet Series)
Reference Guide

For an awe-inspiring list of online resources in water resources, go to: http://www.library.ucsb.edu/eresources/databases/
Then scroll down to "Water Resources RouteNet" and click on it.

ASSOCIATIONS

Provides both a link to the association's homepage, and a description of the resource (click to the icon to the left of the association's name).

BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND OTHER DATABASES

The heart of this website, it does unfortunately contain some dead links (e.g., "Bibliographies for California Rivers"), sites that since a project is not longer funded no longer function (e.g., "Selected Water Resources Abstracts, 1939 present"), sites that seem not to be functioning (e.g., the "WRSIC" portion of the UNWIN site, "Water Resources Scientific Information Center Research Abstracts"), and plain, ordinary typos. But overall, a very useful section. BE WARNED: if you are looking for "Water Resources Abstracts", what you need is NOT this site, but rather http://www.csa2.com/htbin/dbrng.cgi?username=ucsb&access=ucsb408&cat=aquatic

Not in alphabetical order, but otherwise ok.

DISCUSSION GROUPS AND LISTSERVS

NEWSLETTERS

REFERENCE MATERIALS

One suspects that this is the bin that holds any resource that wouldn't fit anywhere else. Everything from annual reports to publications lists to, e.g., "Decline of Zebra Mussels in the Lower Illinois River."

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Includes both a link to the resource and a description of that resource (and a typo or two).

WATER RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS

Includes both a link to the resource and a description of that resource. Regional and state (U.S.), national and global lists.
