Healthy floodplains and wetlands provide critical ecosystem services to local and downstream communities by retaining sediments, nutrients, and floodwaters. Land conversion and degradation diminish floodplain functionality and services.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) South Atlantic Water Science Center and the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have been collecting and compiling water-use information in Georgia since 1980 as part of an ongoing cooperative agreement.

The Groundwater Conditions of Georgia web tool has interactive maps and graphs, that calculate water level trends over time. The application is a continuation of a series of reports begun in 1978.  

How wet was 2023 when compared to historical averages? This geonarrative compares precipitation and streamflow amounts observed during the 2023 water year with historical conditions in the Colorado River Basin over the last 30 years. While the 2023 water year was a wet year with above-average precipitation at many locations, it was not uniformly good or record-setting. 

To help resource managers plan and mitigate long-term drought impacts in the Colorado River Basin, the USGS has launched a platform that brings together science, data, and mapping and analytical tools from across the basin in a central location.

The Alaska Geochemical Database Version 4.0 (AGDB4) contains geochemical data compilations in which each geologic material sample has one “best value” determination for each analyzed species. Best values are for mineral exploration and assessment purposes and should not be assumed to be appropriate for other uses.

The Three Lakes System of Colorado includes Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, and Granby Reservoir. This system is located within the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin near the west entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. This geonarrative focuses primarily on the drainage basin of the Three Lakes System and the Colorado River downstream to Windy Gap Reservoir. 

This tool shows the proportion of goose locations expected to be in or below a user-specified rotor-swept zone based on expected goose flight altitudes.

The Energy Act of 2020 directed the U.S. Geological Survey to make nonfuel mineral commodity data, including critical minerals, more interactive. This is a data visualization of already published and approved information in the current Mineral Commodity Summaries edition. There have been no changes to any of the data or the wording as published.

The U.S. Geological Survey National Produced Waters Geochemical Database Viewer (ver. 3.0) provides access to an updated compilation of geochemical and related information for water from oil and gas wells in the United States. The information includes identification and location information, well descriptions, dates, rock properties, physical properties of the water, organic chemistry and more.
