<br />SOURCES OF FUNDING <br /> <br />Funds for carrying out the water-resources investigations of the <br />Geological Survey in Wyoming are provided by many agencies. The agencies are <br />classified by three major categories (fig. 3): (1) State and local agencies <br />that provide funds or services or both generally matched on a 50-50 (percent) <br />basis by Geological Survey funds (cooperative program); (2) other Federal <br />agencies that transfer funds to Geological Survey (OFA program); and (3) <br />Geological Survey funds received by direct appropriation for activities that <br />are national in scope (Federal program). The diagram below shows the <br />distribution of these funds by major category for Fiscal Year 1987 (as of <br />January 1987). During 1987 about 50 percent of the funds were used for <br />collection of hydrologic data and about 50 percent for interpretive hydrologic <br />studies. <br /> <br /> <br />FISCAL YEAR 1987 <br />TOTAL, ABOUT $2,700,000 <br /> <br />Figure 3.--Sources of funding. <br /> <br />9 <br />
