Texas Water Science Center Locations
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Texas Water Science Center works in cooperation with approximately100 municipalities, river authorities, groundwater districts, and State and Federal agencies in Texas to providereliable, impartial scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other customers. This informationis gathered by the USGS Texas Water Science Center to minimize the loss of life and property from naturaldisasters, to contribute to the conservation and sound economic and physical development of the Nation’snatural resources, and to enhance the quality of life by monitoring water, biological, energy, and mineralresources. If you have any questions or concerns with which we can assist you, contact us or visit our Web site athttp://tx.usgs.gov or the national Web site at http://www.usgs.gov. We look forward to serving you in the near future.
