I doubt that commercial databases will be accessible from internet/bitnet.
I'm not in your field and so I wouldn't know if the databases you have
listed are accessible.  I will suggest that you might want to copy
your message to BIOSPH-L@UBVM.BITNET since that lists deals with
environment and ecology issues.

Perhaps you should post this  question to <CONSLINK@SIVM.BITNET> or even
to <BIOSPH-L@UBVM>.

Dear Arne,
I really don't have new information for your request but just wondered if you we
that is widely used by people with environmental concerns - about 3,000 of them,
I believe.  If not, why not contact Bill Leland.  You can get a message to him
at bleland@igc.org.  If you have an Internet account, you will now be able to
subscribe to EcoNet for $10 a month and a $3/hr. on-line charge.  While you
would not need this remarkable system for E-mail, you can post queries on
its BBS and reach a whole lot more folks than using CONSLINK.  The wonderful
capabilities of EcoNet allows people to do on-line teleconferencing in real
time with others all over the world, something that is becoming more and more
useful for those with environmental concerns.  By the way, if you want more
information on what I am into, the Consortium of Aquariums, Universities and
Zoos, please send me your mailing address and I shall mail you some info.

I don't know if the following sources are available via internet
because I have always just phoned them but I'll give you them
just in case...
the Iowa department of Natural resources has a full fledged
program of research and a groundwater education strategy that
has been an invaluable source of references...
also the Tennessee Valley Authority has an extnesive cataloguing
of anything relating to water and water quality, they can
be reached through econet or you can call their division of Air and
Water Resources 615 632-6770.
good luck

The Biodiversity Resource Center at the California Academy of Sciences
has a variety of CD-ROM bibliographic databases that could be of use
to you.  Specifically, we have Water Resources Abstracts on CD-ROM,
produced by USGS and published by NISC.  If you are in San Francisco, you
can come by and use this CD-ROM.  Water Resources Abstracts may also be
available at other libraries (I know that the Earth Science Library at
the University of Colorado at Boulder has a CD version of it too).
  If you are doing ongoing research, perhaps it is worth the subscription
price to get this.
