Water Resources of Oklahoma
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Oklahoma; this is your direct link to a resource of diversified water information. Here you'll find information on Oklahoma's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about ground water, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems...
The USGS provides current ("real-time") stream stage and streamflow, water-quality, and ground-water levels for approximately 200 sites in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Data Highlights
2011 Water Data Report Now Available
The 2011 USGS Water Data Report is now available to provide a snapshot of water conditions for a given year. The report includes text and map interfaces that can be used to identify and access an area of interest, locate sites where water data were collected for various Water Years
Instantaneous Data Archive (IDA)
The Instantaneous Data Archive makes available as much intra-day streamflow data and historical instantaneous data continuous (measurements from every 5 to every 60 minutes), as possible, often several years' worth of data.

"Of Current Interest"
The USGS Oklahoma Water Science Center, with funding from the USGS Youth Initiative program, is conducting educational activities in the earth sciences at three educational facilities in Oklahoma. This project is an educational continuum that is designed to inspire interest in the earth sciences and related fields amongst underprivileged and under-represented students in these fields.
Project sites are the Goddard Youth Camp near Sulphur Oklahoma (5th to 6th graders), Santa Fe South Charter School in South Oklahoma City (7th to 8th graders), and Langston University (Associate Degree Program in Hydrology).
