USGS Water Science Centers 28 Centers nationwide Provide foundational data and scientific analyses to address the water issues facing the state(s) and nation. Partner with state, regional, local, tribal, and federal entities.

Responding to drought requires monitoring to characterize hydrologic trends and variability

Responding to drought requires conjunctive surface water-groundwater management Groundwater pumpage effects on surface water resources Surface water availability effects on groundwater demand Opportunities for managed aquifer recharge Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)

USGS national drought priorities Evaluate the complex interactions that determine drought and drought effects; Understand how drought affects fish and wildlife species; Advance efforts in coordinate drought monitoring systems; and deliver decision-support science to help Federal, regional, State, Tribal, and local stakeholders. Develop an integrated drought modeling and prediction capability to predict drought risk and vulnerability for planning and mitigation.
