Ground Water Information -- Ground-Water Resources Program

Welcome to the USGS Ground Water Information Pages
These pages are designed to provide useful information about ground-water resources of the Nation and ground-water activities of the USGS.

Ground-Water Resources Program

The Ground-Water Resources Program encompasses regional studies of ground-water systems, multidisciplinary studies of critical ground-water issues, access to ground-water data, and research and methods development. The program provides unbiased scientific information and many of the tools that are used by Federal, State, and local management and regulatory agencies to make important decisions about the Nation's ground-water resources.
