Overview

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) delivers impartial science on natural hazards, natural resources, ecosystem health, and the impacts of climate and land‑use change. Its scientists develop tools and methods that provide timely, reliable Earth‑science information to the public.

The USGS requires non‑personal scientific and technical support to carry out its mission. Most work occurs on‑site, with some off‑site support as needed.

The Midcontinent Region (MCR) spans 13 states and includes 10 science centers, over 50 locations, and more than 100 laboratories. MCR research focuses on aquatic invasive species, water quality and availability, wildlife disease, and habitat restoration.

The Central Midwest Water Science Center (CMWSC) provides streamflow, water‑quality, water‑use, and groundwater data for Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. It conducts long‑term monitoring and targeted investigations on groundwater availability, flooding, sedimentation, and contamination to support federal, state, and local decision‑making.

Within the Water Mission Area, the Decision Support Branch is developing the National Water Availability Data Companion (NWDC), a national platform for modeled water‑supply and water‑use information. Support activities include user engagement, interface design, prototyping, and maintaining cloud‑based data pipelines.

The National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) and Earth System Processes Division provide specialized laboratory and scientific services that support nationwide water‑science decisions, operating mission‑critical labs in Denver and Boulder, Colorado.
