Projects in California
The USGS California Water Science Center carries out scientific projects that
provide reliable, impartial, and timely information to resource managers,
planners, and other customers. Federally funded activities in California
generally emphasize regional projects assessing the condition of regional
surface and ground waters, how natural processes and human activities
affect those conditions over time, and on the development of new tools
and techniques for understanding complex hydrologic systems. Through the
USGS Cooperative Water Program, Center scientists collaboratively design
and conduct water resource investigations with State, Tribal, and local
partners.
