USGS Data Collection Network

The U.S. Geological Survey currently operates about 318 data collection sites in Georgia for acquiring information on surface-water, ground-water, water-quality, and precipitation. 226 of the sites are equipped with satellite telemetry, which provides real-time data via GOES satellites and downlinks, which enables the posting of data to the Web for public dissemination.

Hydrologic data collected by the USGS are published in the annual hydrologic summaries for Georgia, or in interpretive reports. Most of the data are also available on the Web through the USGS National Water Information System NWISWeb server.

In order to help you locate data and reports, we have created Web pages of publications with specific data types.

You can also ask questions and request data or reports from our Public Information Officer.
