USGS IN YOUR STATE
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Water Resources of Nebraska
Welcome to the USGS Web page for the Nebraska Water Science Center (NEWSC). Here you'll find information on Nebraska's rivers and streams, groundwater, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
Featured Water News
USGS donates computers for education and to those in need
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Nebraska Water Science Center has donated several computers and other computer hardware, such as monitors, laptops, keyboards, to the Lincoln Public Schools Information Technology Focus Program. Students in the program will collect the hardware and re-furbish and update them. The program will then partner with local agencies that work with low-income families to distribute the computers to families in need.
"The USGS uses computers with the power and speed to accomplish our needs," said Robert Swanson, Director of the USGS Nebraska Water Science Center. "It's gratifying to know that even though these machines have outlived their usefulness to the USGS that they will continue to provide service without becoming part of a land fill and that they will provide educational opportunities for our next generation of information technology professionals."
