Quick Link to Real-Time Data: View site list: SW | GW | WQMinnesotaMonitoring NetworksThe USGS Minnesota Water Science Center continuously monitors surface water, ground water, and water quality parameters across the state. Monitoring sites are operated in cooperation with various local, State, or Federal agencies. Surface WaterMinnesota provides real-time water-stage, streamflow and precipitation data at 149 sites across the state. Ground Water33 ground-water wells are monitored by the USGS in Minnesota. These wells record data on hourly intervals. Water QualityWater-quality conditions are continuously monitored by the USGS at 11 sites across the state of Minnesota Current IssuesEach year the USGS National Research Program offers lectures on various topics that are sponsored by field offices. The Minnesota Water Science Center is pleased to announce the next lecture by Doug Burns. How To Add Natural Tracers To Your Hydrological ToolboxDr. Doug Burns More... Data via GoogleMapsNew Maps Deliver Current Streamflow ConditionsWe recently added a Google-Map based Web page to deliver map-based current surface-water resources conditions in Minnesota. The maps utilize zoom and pan to allow you to focus in on the water-monitoring sites that interest you. The maps show current streamflow as compared to historical records. By hovering your mouse over a site, a popup box shows the most recent stage and streamflow.
