Water
is necessary for sustaining life. Too much or too little water can have
tremendous consequences. Thus, water information is critical for the health
and safety of all citizens and the economic well being of our nation.
Were beginning the new millennium with a new vision for Hydrologic
Services. As the nation grows, more segments of society become vulnerable
to flooding. The National Weather Service is working to expand and improve
hydrologic forecast and warning information in order to meet these growing
demands.
