Organic Geochemistry Research LaboratoryThe Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory (OGRL) focuses on two important issues of multidisciplinary research. First, is the fate, transport, and degradation of organic contaminants in the environment with special on nonpoint-source contamination from agricultural chemicals. Second, the research objective has been broadened to include the environmental issues of emerging contaminants and how they affect the water. These compounds are combined with analytical methods to determine and link to both geochemical and hydrologic processes.For inquiries regarding Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory activities, please contact:

The USGS has collected hydrologic information in Kansas since 1895 with the first USGS Cooperative
Water Program funding agreement for 6 streamflow gages with the Kansas Water Board. USGS collects streamflow
and gage-height data; reservoir content; water-quality and water-quantity data; suspended-sediment data;
and groundwater levels. Hydrologic studies are conducted on national, regional, statewide, and local levels.
The USGS in Kansas works cooperatively with 31 Federal, State, and local agencies, such as the Kansas Water Office, the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, and the City of Wichita
