- Synopsis
- The U. S. Geological Survey's National Water-Use Information Program is principally concerned with quantifying the country's use of water through the synthesis of county-level data for five-year periods. This National Research Council report, produced at the request of the Geological Survey, offers consensus recommendations on how to improve the currently varied quality of data collection across the states. Among the recommendations of the report are suggestions that the Program should be elevated to a water use science program with dedicated funding from Congress; for the systematic integration of datasets; and for the integration of water use, water flow, and water quality information.
