Kansas Water Information Network (KWIN)

Contact USGS

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates water-resources offices in every State, with our mission being to provide reliable, impartial, and timely information needed to understand the water resources of the United States. We can cooperate with Federal, State, municipal, county, and local water agencies and groups to provide information about existing water resources and investigate areas of hydrologic concern.

If you would like to discuss how USGS can assist with a water situation in your area please contact Walter A. Aucott, Director, USGS Kansas Water Science Center.
