USGS National Research Program
The National Research Program (NRP) conducts basic and problem oriented hydrologic research in support of the mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Results of NRP's long-term research investigations often lead to the development of new concepts, techniques, and approaches that are applicable not only to the solution of current water problems, but also to future issues that may affect the Nation's water resources. The NRP is located principally in Reston, VA, Denver, CO, and Menlo Park, CA. A Chief, Branch of Regional Research, (BRR) at each location is responsible for managing the program.
The USGS NRP offices in Tucson, AZ is now closed due to faculty retirement and reassignment.
