From the USGS, this site provides access to water-resources data collected at approximately 1.5 million sites in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Shows streams, rivers, coastal shorelines, lakes, estuaries, and wetlands that do not meet state water quality standards. A corresponding Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program website is available.
Water Quality Information Center (WQIC), part of the National Agricultural Library, provides electronic access to information on water quality and agriculture. The center collects, organizes, and communicates the scientific findings, educational methodologies, and public policy issues related to water quality and agriculture.
