Every Drop Counts: Progress Towards a National Water Census
This year's theme is "Start with Science"
Second in the 2013 Series
Growing populations, increased energy development, and the uncertain effects of a changing climate magnify the need for an improved understanding of water use and water availability. Presently, no comprehensive national assessment of water resources exists. Come learn how the USGS and its partners are making progress towards a National Water Census, which will thoroughly quantify water supply and demand across the entire country.
