USGS launches new website for nation's water data
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), this week, launched
its new, online National Water Information System (NWISWeb) and in
so doing opened the doors to the public to much more of the 100
years of water data collected by the federal earth science agency.
The new website, found at http://water.usgs.gov/nwis/ allows users
to access several hundred million pieces of archival and real-time
data, all from their home or office computers.

"Our users can now gain easy access to over 100 years of water
information, all with the click of a mouse," said Robert Hirsch,
USGS Associate Director for Water. "This not only saves them time,
money, and effort for the user, but also allows our hydrologists
and technicians to concentrate on collecting data and processing
the information derived from it. NWISWeb is an integral part of
the USGS mission to disseminate important water-quality and
quantity data to the public.
