USGS Drinking Water Programs
Water for drinking and other domestic uses is one of our most precious natural resources. We often take it for granted until the supply is threatened by problems with water quantity or quality. Quantity issues are addressed on other U.S. Geological Survey pages for ground water and surface water. The wide range of monitoring, assessment, and research activities conducted by the USGS to help understand and protect the quality of our drinking-water resources is described on these pages. These studies are often done in collaboration with other Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies. If you would like information on how to develop a partnership with the USGS, please contact Glenn Patterson or your USGS District Chief.
