weight measurements and weight/volume
measurements comes about because 1 liter of

Acknowledgments

The material presented here was assembled
under the direction of Richard A. Engberg,
NIWQP Manager, Department of the Interior.
The effort began in December 1994 with the
formation of an ad hoc NIWQP Committee on
Guidelines for Data Interpretation. The
committee determined the scope and format
of the report and made early work assign-
ments for it. Committee members are:

Jeff Lucero (Chairman)
Bureau of Reclamation

Jan Hren (succeeded by Herman Feltz)
U.S. Geological Survey

Steve Smith (succeeded by Tim Hall)
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Frank Khattat (succeeded by Lewis Fry)
Bureau of Indian Affairs

James W. Yahnke
Bureau of Reclamation

Joe Skorupa
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

The nine chapters were prepared both by
NIWQP participants and by an outside
consultant, using the extensive library of the
University of California at Davis, California.
The principal individual responsible for each
chapter is listed below:

Larsen also reorganized the chapters to give
them a consistent organization and added
some supplementary material.
