The New England Water Science Center monitors, analyzes, and communicates information on the quality and movement of surface water and groundwater within the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. We provide reliable scientific information to the public and partner with Federal, State, Tribal, and local cooperators to inform water resource management and policy decisions. Serving our communities from five offices across New England, we study the hydrologic challenges associated with this region’s varied landscapes to improve human and ecological health.
Welcome from the Director
As Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), New England Water Science Center (WSC), I welcome you to our website. I am committed, along with the rest of the New England WSC staff, to serve New England and the Nation by providing the hydrologic information needed for optimum water-resources understanding and management.
