ABOUT THE GEORGIA WSC

USGS IN YOUR STATE

USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.

There is a USGS Water Science Center office in each State.

Water Resources of Georgia

Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Georgia; this is your direct link to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information on Georgia's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about ground water, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.

Current Streamflow Conditions

On the map to the left, point to one of the stream-monitoring locations to see a summary of current streamflow conditions, or click on the symbol to open the site's web page.

Georgia's water-monitoring networks:

Surface water | Ground water | Water quality | Water use

Georgia Water Information Network (GWIN)

The Georgia Water Information Network is a county-based system that offers water information for thousands of surface-water, ground-water, and water-quality measurement sites in Georgia. Other information includes water-use data and annual hydrologic summaries.

USGS StreaMail

USGS StreaMail is system for accessing real-time river stage and streamflow from hand-held wireless devices, such as cell phones and Blackberries. All you have to do is send an email or text message to "streamail@usgs.gov" and use a USGS station number in the "Subject" line. In a few minutes you'll get back an email with the most recent stage and streamflow.

Instantaneous Data Archive (IDA)

The USGS collects continuous (measurements from every 5 to every 60 minutes) stage, discharge, and other instantaneous time-series data on the nations rivers and streams. The Instantaneous Data Archive makes available as much intra-day streamflow data and historical instantaneous data , as possible, often several years' worth of data.
