All Active Water Resource Projects in Colorado
Access Project Information and Data-Collection Sites through a Web-based map server.
The USGS Colorado Water Science Center conducts hydrologic projects that address a wide variety of water-resources issues, including water supply, ground-water contamination, nutrient loading in streams, effects of land use on water quality, and basic hydrologic data collection. This page lists the projects currently underway.
