USGS prepares to predict and track the effects of Hurricane Sally Get the latest news Gages Through the Ages How the history of streamgaging reflects the evolving water needs of the nation - an interactive data visualization story Explore the viz Integrated Water Science Basin finalists selected IWS selection kicks off a new era of water-resource assessments Learn more Pavement is contributing sediment to urban streams A new study using novel particle tracers finds dirt, sand, and particulates from parking lots and streets in streambed sediment Learn more Water information is fundamental to national and local economic well-being, protection of life and property, and effective management of the Nation’s water resources. The USGS works with partners to monitor, assess, conduct targeted research, and deliver information on a wide range of water resources and conditions including streamflow, groundwater, water quality, and water use and availability. Interested in water-quality concentrations, loads, and trends in streams and rivers across the United States? Check out a new USGS website with data from the USGS National Water Quality Network—110 stream and river sites with long-term, consistent data on water quality. When USGS personnel were prevented from accessing one of our streamgages along the U.S.-Canadian border, the Water Survey of Canada stepped in to help clear debris from our streamgage and ensure it was collecting accurate data. September is National Preparedness Month, a time for Americans to review their preparedness plans for disasters or emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities. It’s also historically the peak of hurricane season. Year Published: 2020 Influenza A viruses remain infectious for more than seven months in northern wetlands of North America In this investigation, we used a combination of field- and laboratory-based approaches to assess if influenza A viruses (IAVs) shed by ducks could remain viable for extended periods in surface water within three wetland complexes of North America. In a field experiment, replicate filtered surface water samples inoculated with duck swabs were... Ramey, Andrew M.; Reeves, Andrew B.; Drexler, Judith Z.; Ackerman, Joshua T.; De La Cruz, Susan E.

Year Published: 2020 Water Quality of groundwater used for public supply in principal aquifers of the western United States Groundwater provides nearly half of the Nation’s drinking water. As the Nation’s population grows, the importance of (and need for) high-quality drinking-water supplies increases. As part of a national-scale effort to assess groundwater quality in principal aquifers (PAs) that supply most of the groundwater used for public supply, the U.S....
