The Office of Surface Water at NASA's Stennis Space Center (SSC) is unique
among the U.S. Geological Survey's activities. Of principal interest are:
An indoor hydraulics laboratory housed in a 35,000 square foot area and
an outdoor flood-plain simulation facility covering about 30 acres. The
OSW at SSC is located near Bay St. Louis, MS, about 50 miles
northeast of New Orleans, LA.
The laboratory facilities are available for rent to other government
agencies, universities, and private industry. Information on rental may
be obtained by contacting the Chief, Hydraulic
Laboratory Facilities Project.
