Links to Sources of Water Information

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) investigates the occurrence, quantity, quality, distribution, and movement of surface and undergroundwaters and disseminates the data to the public, State and local governments, public and private utilities, and other Federal agencies involved with managing water resources
