Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey Geolog Locator

Federal & State Resources / US Geological Survey (USGS)

The U.S. Geological Survey provides unbiased, timely, and relevant information and studies about groundwater resources as part of the USGS Water Science Strategy to observe, understand, predict, and deliver water science to the Nation. The USGS conducts science to improve our understanding of how groundwater moves through the subsurface and what human and natural factors affect the quantity and quality of that groundwater.

USGS scientists observe and monitor groundwater conditions at locations across the United States. Using data collected by USGS and cooperating agencies along with software and other tools developed by USGS scientists, USGS forecasts long- and short-term changes to groundwater conditions as part of local and regional groundwater studies. USGS scientists collaborate with federal, state, and local partners to share resources, ideas, data, and information. Through these collaborations and communication with stakeholders, USGS identifies high-priority or emerging groundwater concerns and associated science and data gaps. They deliver the results of our observations, improved understanding, and forecasts through USGS reports, peer-reviewed journal articles, online databases, presentations at scientific meetings, and our web sites.

These USGS tools, information, and data are used every day by water-resource managers, regulators, policy makers, well operators, and others to make decisions about how best to protect and manage our groundwater to meet current and future needs.
