USGS Water Use Data for the Nation - National Water Information System (NWIS)

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: September 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 20201117
The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Use Information Program is responsible for compiling and disseminating the nation's water-use data. The USGS works in cooperation with local, State, and Federal environmental agencies to collect water-use information. USGS compiles these data to produce water-use information aggregated at the county, state, and national levels. Every five years, data at the county level are compiled into a national water-use data system and state-level data are published in a national circular. Over the history of these circulars, the water-use categories have had some changes.
