Two continuous streamgages were installed in September 2019 during the first phase of this project and are currently in operation. Additional streamgages were installed in August 2020 and September 2021, followed by the installation of two additional streamgages in April 2024. These streamgages provide the Blackfeet Water Department and others with important water quantity information.

While most of the residents of the Blackfeet Reservation rely on groundwater for domestic, stock, and other uses, little is known about the quantity and quality of the groundwater. The initial phase of the groundwater investigation includes an inventory of existing wells and springs on the reservation. This is the first step to a groundwater resources assessment on the Blackfeet Reservation.

Inland recreational fishing is often conceived as primarily a leisure-driven activity in freshwaters, yet it can contribute substantially to food systems. This tool explores nutrition, economic value, and climate vulnerability of inland recreational consumption by country.

The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and USGS have been working together to create and expand the water-quality monitoring network for Philadelphia. Data from these gaging stations will allow PWD scientists and engineers to monitor spatial and temporal water quality/quantity trends in support of watershed restoration initiatives occurring in Philadelphia.

The Geospatial Information Response Team (GIRT) ensures that timely disaster event geospatial data are available for use by emergency responders, land and resource managers, and for scientific analysis. In an emergency and response capacity, the GIRT is responsible for facilitating the coordination, communication, and dissemination of geospatial data and information through the GIRT Event Support

An online application that allows users to search and visualize Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) and its derived products. Users can find lidar, DEM, topobathymetric, and orthorectified radar image (ORI) data. The application uses Entwine Point Tile (EPT) format to help visualize projects in a web-based 3D viewer for quick views of the data. It also allows for cloud processing

The USGS Groundwater Climate Response Network (CRN) is a system of wells and springs selected to monitor the effects of climate variability on groundwater systems nationwide.

topoBuilder is a public web application released by the National Geospatial Program that enables users to request customized USGS-style topographic maps, known as an OnDemand Topo, that utilize the best available data from The National Map.

The Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper web application provides a modern and easy-to-use interface with the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS).

Search a table containing 835 contaminants and their associated water-quality benchmarks and standards.

The Integrated Data and Tools Catalog is an online platform that allows modelers and researchers to explore and share datasets, tools and services, and use cases used by Water Resources Mission Area (WMA) projects to advance water science activities.
