Water Data
"Our users can now gain easy access to over 100 years of water information, all with the click of a mouse," said Robert Hirsch, USGS Associate Director for Water. "This not only saves them time, money, and effort for the user, but also allows our hydrologists and technicians to concentrate on collecting data and processing the information derived from it. NWIS-Web is an integral part of the USGS mission to disseminate important water-quality and quantity data to the public."
Surface Water Data
- Surface Water Real-time Data- Water level data collected continuously from on-line stream-gaging sites in Florida. Real-time data are considered provisional data. This data is available for all 4 Subdistricts in Florida.
- Historical Data(NWIS-W) - Water data which has been collected as part of the National Water Information System (NWIS). This data includes daily streamflow and peak flow records which have been reviewed and approved for public release. This data is currently available on the new NWIS-Web
Ground Water Data
- Real-time Data- Ground water level data collected continuously from on-line wells in Florida. Real-time data are considered provisional data. Ground water realtime data is available for the Miami and Tampa Subdistricts and minimally for the Orlando Subdistrict.
- Ground Water Climate Response Network - The USGS maintains a network of wells to monitor the effects of droughts and other climate variability on ground-water levels. The network consists of a national network of about 150 wells monitored as part of the Ground Water Resources Program, supplemented by wells in some States monitored as part of the Cooperative Water Program.
- Historical Ground Water Conditions - Historical ground water data are available on NWIS-Web. The Ground-Water database contains ground-water site inventory, ground-water level data, and water-quality data. These data records have been reviewed and approved for public release.
Water Quality Data
- Historical Water Quality Data- Historical water quality data are available on NWIS-Web. These data records have been reviewed and approved for public release.
- Water quality data is being collected and assimilated within National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) studies in 2 regions of Florida:
Water Use Data
- Florida Water Use - This data is collected and published every 5 years by the Florida District. The most recent data (1995) is shown here. It includes the quantities of ground and surface water withdrawn for all major land uses in Florida.
- Water Use in the United States - The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Use Information Program is responsible for compiling and disseminating the nation's water-use data. Every five years, data at the state and hydrologic region level are compiled into a national water-use data system and are published in a national circular.
National Water Data
- Contains information on, and access to, water data collected by the USGS throughout the nation.
