We study streams, estuaries and coasts, urban areas, and aquifers of New England, to monitor and improve understanding of the region's water resources. Home Science Data and Tools Maps Publications Software Multimedia News Connect Education Partners About Home Welcome to the USGS . Our mission is to collect timely and reliable information on the water resources of our six-state region (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont), and to partner with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies in hydrologic studies that advance human health, public safety, and environmental sustainability.

Year Published: 2020 Passive seismic survey of sediment thickness, Dasht-e-Nawar basin, eastern Afghanistan Exploration of water resources is needed for public supply, extraction of mineral resources, and economic development in Afghanistan. Remotely-sensed data are useful for identifying the general nature of surface sediments, however, “boots on the ground” geophysical surveys or drilling programs are needed to quantify the thickness of sediments or... Mack, Thomas Attribution: , Water Resources , Region 1: North Atlantic-Appalachian , Region 4: Mississippi Basin Year Published: 2020 Low streamflow trends at human-impacted and reference basins in the United States We present a continent-scale exploration of trends in annual 7-day low streamflows at 2482 U.S. Geological Survey streamgages across the conterminous United States over the past 100, 75, and 50 years (1916–2015, 1941–2015 and 1966–2015). We used basin characteristics to identify subsets of study basins representative of reference basins with...
