2007 New Resources and Information
New in 2006
December 14, 2007
 New Web Resource Available Online
Water-use data for the Nation has been collected and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey for over 50 years. Recently, the USGS North Dakota Water Science Center launched a web site pertaining to water use in North Dakota. Among the information included on the web pages are water-use data for 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000, maps and graphs on water-use, a water-use directory, a glossary of water-use terms, a listing of water-use publications, and a water-use trivia game.

Continuous Water-Quality Monitoring Data for the Red River at Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Available Online
The U.S. Geologic Survey, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the City of Grand Forks, N. Dak., and the City of East Grand Forks, Minn., have partnered to establish a real-time water-quality monitoring station at Grand Forks-East Grand Forks. Water-quality monitoring equipment is used to measure water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance (an indicator of dissolved chemical constituents in the water), and turbidity (an indicator of the amount of suspended sediment in the water). Continuous monitoring of these variables provides valuable information and can identify important changes in water quality that may not be evident with weekly, monthly, or quarterly sampling. The information obtained will enhance ongoing efforts such as Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development and can help determine the effectiveness of management strategies that are aimed at improving water quality. Time-relevant, useful, and accurate environmental monitoring data for the Red River at Grand Forks-East Grand Forks are available at: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis/uv/?site_no=05082500.
