WLCI Fact Sheet 4: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resource Monitoring Activities in Support of the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative

U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resource Monitoring Activities in Support of the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative

By Suzanna Soileau and Kirk Miller

Abstract

The quality of the Nation’s water resources are vital to the health and well-being of both our communities and the natural landscapes we value. The U.S. Geological Survey investigates the occurrence, quantity, quality, distribution, and movement of surface water and groundwater and provides this information to engineers, scientists, managers, educators, and the general public. This information also supplements current (2013) and historical water data provided by the National Water Information System. The U.S. Geological Survey collects and shares data nationwide, but how those data are used is often site specific; this variety of data assists natural-resource managers in addressing unique, local, and regional challenges.
