EPA - United States Environmental Protection Agency: ENVIROFACTS is a relational database that integrates data extracted from five major EPA program systems: EF AIRS/AFS, CERCLIS, PCS, RCRIS, and TRIS. It contains data, updated monthly, that is available under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
EPA - FINDS query form is an example of an on-line information retrieval system developed by the EPA. As an example, you can: for geography select city and enter San Juan, PR. Select a program office and click on submit. A database query is executed and a table containing the results is returned.
USGS programs in Puerto Rico: The USGS provides maps, reports, and information to help others meet their needs to manage, develop, and protect America’s water, energy, mineral, and land resources. We help find natural resources needed to build tomorrow, and supply scientific understanding needed to help minimize or mitigate the effects of natural hazards and environmental damage caused by human activities. The results of our efforts touch the daily lives of almost every American.
The Puerto Rico Water Resources Research Institute is a research facility dedicated to the investigation and development of water resources in Puerto Rico.

Visualizing Water Resources Data

Overview

This is one example of the type of demographic information that would be available. This page simulates access to a GIS system containing information on current water use, illustrating the ability of the DSS to define current water demand. The same capability can be used to provide other information on the current condition of the resource, presenting it in a form accessible to stakeholders. This capability allows diverse users to access a common database, and provides information on the currency of available data, and on the uncertainty in this data. This capability allows different agencies to access the same information, and can provide the public with basic information about the use and quality of water resources. By providing this information, the DSS can contribute to public understanding of water resource management issues.

Data from: 4th quarter 1995	Measurement Error = 2 gpd
