Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the
Nation's largest natural sciences and civilian mapping
agency and provides reliable and impartial scientific
information to natural-resource managers, planners, the
public, and other customers and stakeholders
throughout the Nation. This information contributes to
sound conservation and management of natural resources; enhances the quality of life by monitoring
water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and minimizes losses from numerous natural hazards. The
USGS disseminates results of data-collection programs
and technical investigations in a wide variety of
formats—including numerous scientific reports, maps,
various databases, CD-ROMs, World Wide Web sites,
and other products.
USGS water-resources activities in Georgia are
conducted in cooperation with numerous local, State, and Federal agencies. Cooperating agencies include,
but are not limited to, the City of Brunswick and Glynn County; Albany Water, Gas, and Light Commission;
City of Lawrenceville; Georgia Department of Natural
Resources; Georgia Department of Agriculture; University System of Georgia; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers;
U.S. Department of Defense; U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and National Park Service. In, addition, some projects are
funded through direct Congressional appropriation of
Federal funds.
