Surface Water in North DakotaNorth Dakota Surface-Water Data
National Surface-Water DataThe USGS has a distributed water database that is locally managed. Surface-water, ground-water, and water-quality data are rolled up from these local, distributed databases into a national information system. The database contains records from about 50,000 surface-water sites and 850,000 wells that have been compiled during the course of hydrologic studies over the past 100 years, including over 4.4 million water-quality analyses. Data are served via the Internet through NWISWeb, the National Water Information System Web Interface. NWISWeb provides all USGS water data that are approved for public release. This large number of sites is excellent for some uses, but complicates retrivals when the user is interested in specific networks or applications. Several specialized products are available to supplement data provided through NWISWeb and to facilitate data discovery.
