USGS Federal-State Cooperator Program

The USGS Federal-State Cooperative Program funds statewide, regional, and local monitoring and interpretive projects that are relevant to the cooperator and to National interests and needs. The USGS may provide up to 50 percent of the funding for this cooperative work. About 80 percent of the Michigan Water Science Center's work is funded through the Federal-State Cooperative Program.
The name of this program is somewhat misleading, because public agencies of any size and Indian tribes can participate in this cooperative program. Below are listed the names of city, county, state, tribal, and other agencies with which we cooperatively fund water-resources programs in Michigan. Names that are underlined are links to those agencies' web pages.
