To provide reliable, standardized hydrological data to support water resource management, scientific research, and risk assessment.
The dataset is developed within national water monitoring programs by the U.S. Geological Survey to inform environmental management, policy, and planning across the United States.
It contains site-based data on water quantity, water quality, temporal records (real-time and historical), spatial information, and detailed metadata on measurement methods and parameters.
