@online {145, title = {USGS Groundwater Watch}, publisher = {USGS}, abstract = {The USGS has a distributed water database that is locally managed. Surface water, groundwater, and water quality data are compiled from these local, distributed databases into a national information system. The groundwater database contains records from about 850,000 wells that have been compiled during the course of groundwater hydrology studies over the past 100 years. Information from these wells is served via the Internet through NWISWeb, the National Water Information System Web Interface. NWISWeb provides all USGS groundwater data that are approved for public release. This large number of sites is excellent for some uses, but complicates retrievals when the user is interested in specific networks, or wells in an active water- level measurement program. These "groundwater watch" web pages group related wells and data from these active well networks, and provide basic statistics about the water-level data collected by USGS water science centers for Cooperative Programs, for Federal Programs, and from data supplied to us by our customers through cooperative agreements.}, keywords = {$\#$EducationalResources, $\#$Hydro, $\#$MapsDataPublications, $\#$NaturalHazards, $\#$Water, active, aquifer, drought, flood, flow, groundwater, historic, level, rivers, static water level, stream gauges, streamflow, streams, surface water, water, water quality}, url = {http://groundwaterwatch.usgs.gov/} } @online {144, title = {USGS Water Resources of Massachusetts and Rhode Island}, publisher = {USGS}, abstract = {This is your direct link to water-resource information on Massachusetts{\textquoteright}s rivers and streams, ground water, water quality, and biology.
