“…This discussion is limited to works of regional significance or those that were otherwise particularly useful in this investigation. A bibliography completed as part of this study (Morgan and Weatherby, 1992) includes a comprehensive list of references for geological and water-related topics for the area.…”

The RASA Program represents a systematic effort to study a number of the Nation's most important aquifer systems, which, in aggregate, underlie much of the country and which represent an important component of the Nation's total water supply. In general, the boundaries of these studies are identified by the hydrologic extent of each system and, accordingly, transcend the political subdivisions to which investigations have often arbitrarily been limited in the past. The broad objective for each study is to assemble geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical information, to analyze and develop an understanding of the system, and to develop predictive capabilities that will contribute to the effective management of the system. The use of computer simulation is an important element of the RASA studies to develop an understanding of the natural, undisturbed hydrologic system and the changes brought about in it by human activities and to provide a means of predicting the regional effects of future pumping or other stresses.The final interpretive results of the RASA Program are presented in a series of U.S. Geological Survey Professional Papers that describe the geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of each regional aquifer system. Each study within the RASA Program is assigned a single Professional Paper number beginning with Professional Paper 1400.

“…The hydrogeologic framework for the Puget Sound and the Willamette Lowland aquifer systems are presented in Chapters D (Vaccaro and others, in press) and Chapter B (Woodward and others, in press), respectively. Previous investigations covering the geology and hydrology of the Puget-Willamette Lowland study area are thoroughly documented in Chapters A through D and in two bibliographies (one for each area) developed during this study (Jones, 1991;Morgan and Weatherby, 1992). This report summarizes the results of the study.…”

The Puget-Willamette Lowland regional aquifersystem analysis included the study of the regional aquifer systems underlying western Washington, western Oregon, and a small part of southwestern British Columbia, Canada, for a total study area of about 23,300 square miles. Two major aquifer systems are contained in the study area the Puget Sound aquifer system located in western Washington and southwestern British Columbia, Canada, and the Willamette Lowland aquifer system located in western Oregon and southwestern Washington. The Puget Sound aquifer system study area includes about 17,600 square miles, of which the aquifer system underlies 7,300 square miles; the Willamette Lowland aquifer system study area includes about 5,700 square miles, of which the aquifer system underlies about 3,660 square miles. The aquifer systems provide water for public supply, industrial, and agricultural use. About 984,840 acrefeet, or 1,291 cubic feet per second, was pumped from the aquifer systems during 1990.

“…6) in the Willamette Lowland area have occurred in four phases. A list of most of these studies, plus many additional studies, was compiled as part of this study (Morgan and Weatherby 1992). Piper (1942) began the initial phase in 1928, not only with the first ground-water appraisal, but also with the only previous study that encompassed most of the Willamette Valley.…”
