Water Resources of Georgia

Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - South Atlantic Water Science Center (SAWSC) web page on Georgia water resources. Here you'll find information on Georgia's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about groundwater, water quality, and many other topics.

Georgia DroughtWatch

Drought conditions hitting Georgia
The drought covering most of Georgia is expanding, and will likely continue through the end of the year. Much of metro Atlanta is in "extreme drought," the second-worst category on the U.S. Drought Monitor's scale. It's even worse in the northwest corner of the state, where the drought is considered "exceptional.".

USGS WaterAlert

Our WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text messages when certain parameters measured by a USGS water-monitoring site exceed user-definable thresholds.

USGS WaterNow

Our WaterNow allows you query a real-time monitoring site and receive the most recent water observations.

Daily Water Reports

Real-Time Precipitation Data

We now have a map and data table-based system to allow you to view real-time precipitation at Georgia water-monitoring sites. The rainfall maps and tables are updated continuously and display data from the last 3 hours up to the last month.
