The USGS National Water Dashboard (NWD) is a new mobile-friendly tool that provides real-time information on water levels, and weather and flood forecasts all in one interactive mapping application. Building on innovative work by the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center with the USGS Texas Water Dashboard that was launched in early 2016, the NWD represents the next step in the
Working with the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center
The role of the USGS is to provide technically sound and unbiased data and information products that describe the location, quantity, and quality of surface water and groundwater. Much of the work the USGS does pertaining to water resources is done in partnership with local entities.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established by Congress to provide the Nation with reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life.
