Watershed Glossary

Cross-referenced with other terms and bibliographies. Developed by W B Langbein and Kathleen T Iseri, this water glossary was originally published by the USGS in 1960 (Library of Congress catalog-card No. 73-600301).  Since then, the glossary has undergone several revisions.  

The current glossary was last updated in 1995. It was made available on the web in the same year.
