The National Water Dashboard (NWD) is a mobile, interactive tool that provides real-time information on water levels, weather, and flood forecasts - all in one place on a computer, smartphone, or other mobile device. The NWD presents real-time stream, lake and reservoir, precipitation, and groundwater data from more than 13,500 USGS observation stations across the country.

The Texas Water Dashboard presents USGS real-time stream, lake and reservoir, precipitation and groundwater data for more than 850 USGS real-time observation stations in Texas.

The USGS GeoLog Locator is a web-based tool that allows allows users to access more than 7,000 digital borehole geophysical logs and related data files at over 1,700 locations.

Groundwater flow and storage in the Edwards and Trinity aquifers are largely controlled by the geologic structure and hydrostratigraphy in the region. To help local agencies and stakeholders to more effectively manage the regional water resources, a better understanding of the spatial distribution of the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphic units of the aquifers is needed.

In cooperation with the City of Houston, USGS collects, processes, and interprets water-quality, streamflow, and reservoir water elevation and capacity data. These data are collected to better understand the effects of urbanization in Lake Houston, a drinking water reservoir in Houston, Texas. 

GWWebFlow is a browser-based groundwater model viewer designed to allow users to easily explore model inputs and outputs for published and approved USGS models.

View over 850 USGS real-time stream, lake, reservoir, precipitation, water quality, and groundwater stations in context with current weather and hazard conditions.

“Water On-the-Go” is a map-based web application that gives people easy access to current conditions in streams across Texas. It was developed to help raise water awareness during floods and normal conditions. The mobile-friendly website offers three ways to view streamflow or other data, including using your phone’s GPS system.

The Texas Geology Web Map Viewer is the third generation in a series of Texas geologic mapping products which is intended to empower and expose surface geology details to a broad range of diverse users interested in exploring the geology of the State of Texas.  Key features incude clear navigational controls, location search, and an identify tool to retrieve detailed formation data.
