Abstract: This appendix contains hydrogeologic descriptions of the 48 conterminous United States along with maps depicting ground-water quality and temperatures in each state. These maps are measured in units of miles, which can be converted to kilometers with the equation:

1.609 x number of miles = kilometers

Likewise, temperatures are illustrated in degrees Fahrenheit and can be converted to degrees Celsius with the equation:

° C = 5/9 x (° F - 32)


Keywords: water source heat pump, ground water heat pump, energy efficiency
