Results 21 - 30 of 402 listed by similarity [list alphabetically]

Johnson Creek basin hydrologic monitoring [More info]: Hydrologic data and analyses of surface-water, water quality, and ground water in the Johnson Creek basin in Oregon.
Michigan hydrologic summary [More info]: Links to websites providing data and information related to Michigan hydrology including droughts, floods, current water conditions, Great Lakes water levels, climatology, and weather.
Online assessment of hydrologic conditions in Texas [More info]: Brief summaries of USGS projects in Texas including water quality monitoring, digital mapping, energy resources, U.S.-Mexico border mapping, fish and wildlife health, Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, and conditions affecting water quality.
Using models for the optimization of hydrologic monitoring [More info]: Usually we choose to put water monitoring stations in places where we have no data already. But it's more efficient to place stations so that they help to reduce uncertainty in the results of modeling. This analysis shows how to choose.
Water resources maps and geographic information systems (GIS) information [More info]: Portal for links to United State water resources maps and geographic information systems (GIS) data for the United States for viewing or downloading.
Water resources of Missouri - hydrologic studies and research [More info]: Links to USGS research project summaries and publications on water resources in Missouri.
100-Year flood - It's all about chance [More info]: Explains the concept, probabilistic nature, and inherent uncertainties of the 100-year flood to those who are unfamiliar with this concept.
A Whole-System Approach to Understanding Agricultural Chemicals in the Environment [More info]: Explains the effects of the interaction of hydrologic and biological processes on agricultural chemicals in various environments.
A new tool to assess groundwater resources in the Mississippi embayment [More info]: Mathematical model of the groundwater system in this area includes 13 types of data and spans multiple aquifers over more than a century. This enables us to assess the quantity of groundwater, where and how it is being used, and how pumping affects it.
Access USGS - San Francisco Bay and Delta [More info]: Main page for accessing links for information and data on the San Francisco Bay estuary and its watershed with links to highlights, water, biology, wetlands, hazards, digital maps, geologic mapping, winds, bathymetry and overview of the Bay.
