Real-time Data

Our scientists gather information through periodic or continuous measurement in the field to provide a view of current conditions. In some instances, observations may not be subject to rigorous review before release; this will be noted in the documentation accompanying the data.

Spreadsheet Applications

A simple text format suitable for loading data into spreadsheet applications. This is a good option for manual scientific analysis.

Atom Syndication

A basic syndication format supported by a variety of feed readers. This is a good option for casually subscribing to earthquake information.

Earthquake Notification Service

The Earthquake Notification Service (ENS) is a free service that sends you automated notifications to your email or cell phone when earthquakes happen.

Landslide Monitoring

Monitoring is essential to predicting the behavior of landslides and forecasting which storms can trigger landslides. Graphs showing the most recent data are updated regularly with update cycles ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours. Landslide monitoring data and information provided on this web site are preliminary and have not been reviewed for accuracy; therefore the data are subject to revision.

Surface-water data for Wisconsin

Real-time, daily, peak-flow, field measurements, and statistics of current and historical data that describe stream levels, streamflow (discharge), reservoir and lake levels, surface-water quality, and rainfall in Wisconsin. Surface-water data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Groundwater data for Wisconsin

Data from wells, springs, test holes, tunnels, drains, and excavations in Wisconsin; well location data includes information such as latitude and longitude, well depth, and aquifer. Groundwater level data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Water-quality data for Wisconsin

Chemical, physical, and biological properties of water, sediment, and tissue samples from Wisconsin. Water-quality data are collected as either discrete field measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders that continuously record physical and chemical characteristics including pH, specific conductance, temperature, and dissolved oxygen.

Water-use data for Wisconsin

Water-use data is collected by area type (state, county, watershed, or aquifer) and source (such as rivers or groundwater), and category (such as public supply or irrigation). Water-use data has been reported every five years since 1950. The USGS works in cooperation with local, State, and Federal agencies as well as academic and private organizations to collect and report withdrawals.
