Michigan-Ohio Water Science Center

The Michigan-Ohio Science Water Science Center (MI-OH WSC) is one of many Water Science Centers in the Water Resources Discipline of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The Water Science Center's mission is to collect, analyze and disseminate the impartial hydrologic data and information needed to wisely manage water resources for the people of the United States and the State of Michigan.

What We Do

We operate local and statewide networks to collect high-quality data that define natural and human-induced hydrologic conditions.
We analyze hydrologic processes through investigations and research to increase understanding of important water-resource issues and to promote informed decision making.
We maintain real-time and historical data bases and publish peer-reviewed interpretive and data reports to disseminate unbiased hydrologic information.

To assure that our work is relevant and useful, we form partnerships with Federal, State, and local agencies, and other public organizations.
