San Francisco
Access USGS- San Francisco Bay
Summary: The San Francisco Bay and Delta Ecosystem Program is one of several study areas within the USGS Ecosystem Program. The USGS Ecosystem Program was established to enable the USGS to enhance its scientific assistance to resource managers who require an improved scientific information base to resolve or prevent complex resource conflicts or environmental problems in specific ecosystem sites. Through multiyear efforts in each study area, USGS intensifies its provision of scientific information tailored to the specific management. The information is designed to have a direct, significant, and immediate impact on management and policy decisions. It addresses regional or subregional issues that involve environmental resources such as water, minerals, and land. The sites may have as their focus such issues as water quality or water supply, environmental effects of mineral or energy use or extraction, or effects of alterations in land use or land cover. The diversity of issues, and the inherent complexity of environmental problems, lead to the formation of multidisciplinary teams of scientists from appropriate disciplines.

Disciplines in the present suite of ecosystems include land characterization, surface modeling, geospatial database management,
ground- and surface-water hydrology, geophysics, ecology, geochemistry, paleontology, cartography, hydrologic modeling, and
contaminant, sediment, and nutrient dynamics. The activities of the Ecosystem Program are focused in sites and on issues that are of high priority to the Department of the Interior and to the Nation. In 1995, the Ecosystem Program began with two ecosystems: San Francisco Bay and Delta and south Florida. Chesapeake Bay was added in 1996. In 1997, Ecosystem Program activities started in the Greater Yellowstone, the Platte River, and the Mojave Desert, bringing the total number to six.

Water Quality of San Francisco Bay
Summary: The U.S. Geological Survey makes water quality measurements in San Francisco Bay at 39 fixed sampling locations spaced 3-6 kilometers apart. These sampling stations are located along the central deep channel, from the southern limit of South Bay, through Central Bay, San Pablo Bay, Carquinez Strait, Suisun Bay, and they end at Rio Vista on the Sacramento River. This sampling design provides descriptions of water quality along the longitudinal axis of the San Francisco Bay-Delta system. The table below describes the location, latitude, longitude, and water depth for each station.

Clean Air Colorado Air Quality Advisory
Summary: Clean Air Colorado Air Quality Advisory

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Air Pollution Control Division has devised two reporting
systems to inform the public about air quality conditions - the PSI and VSI reporting systems.

The PSI system, using the Pollutant Standards Index, reports levels of carbon monoxide, ozone and PM10 (particulate
matter smaller than 10 microns). The VSI system, using the Visibility Standard Index, reports visibility conditions in the
Denver-metro area.

MYSound: Monitoring Your Sound
Summary: An Overview of MYSound: Monitoring Your Sound, An EPA EMPACT Project: The objectives of this EMPACT Project is to provide water quality monitoring data from Long Island Sound to a broad spectrum of users - enhancing the appreciation, knowledge and use of The Sound.

The approach involves the establishment of several telemetering data buoys within The Sound. We currently have one deployed in the Lower Thames River of New London Harbor, and one offshore of the Harbor, to the west of Fishers Island. Two more buoys will be deployed in the western sound in the vicinity of Bridgeport Harbor, one nearshore and one offshore. The data are posted near real-time to this site as provisional data, while longer term and historical data will be available as downloadable ASCII files or on CD-ROMS.

Typical sensor data that will be available includes: water temperature, conductivity/salinity, transmissivity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients/nitrate, cholorphyl A, surface hydrocarbons, indicator bacteria, current speed and direction, and selected meteorological data.

USGS - Water Resources of Connecticut
Summary: Water Resources of Connecticut

The U.S. Geological Survey is the Nation's largest earth-science agency and has the principal responsibility within the Federal government for providing hydrologic
information and for appraising the Nation's water resources. The water resources of Connecticut consist of numerous streams, springs, lakes, and aquifer systems.
Streamflow, ground-water levels, and water-quality data are collected at numerous locations, and water-use data are collected throughout the area. These
hydrologic data and other data are used in research and hydrologic studies to describe the quantity, quality, and location of the area's water resources. The
collection, analysis, and interpretation of these data is done in cooperation with other federal, state and local agencies, universities, and research centers.
