The USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program offers a grant to develop a new National GIS database. This grant focuses on creating a comprehensive geospatial and tabular database of historical agricultural land use and surface water quality data. Emphasis is on incorporating rare surface water quality data, not found in current online systems like NWIS or STORET. Upon completion, this vital online GIS database will be publicly accessible for at least five years, with a copy provided to the USGS. The compiled information will be crucial for scientists, managers, and policymakers involved in water quality investigations.

| Description: | The Surface Water Status and Trends Study of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program seeks to provide financial assistance for research in the development of a new National, Geographic Information System (GIS) database of spatial and tabular data about historical agricultural land use and surface water quality. The emphasis on surface water quality data should be on rare data not already available in online data bases such as the U.S. Geological Surveys National Water Information System (NWIS) or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys STORET database. The new online GIS database will be made available to the public upon completion for a period of not less than five years. A copy will also be provided to the USGS. The information compiled in this database will be critical to scientists, managers, and policy makers involved in water quality investigations at a variety of spatial scales. |
