Water Resources of Colorado

Welcome to the USGS Colorado Water Science Center. These pages are your source for water-resource information collected and interpreted by the U.S. Geological Survey in Colorado.

Water-resource activities include:

• Presentation of real-time streamflow, water-quality, ground-water levels data
• Operation and oversight of an extensive network of water-resource monitoring gages
• Archive of water-resource information collected for more than 100 years
• Data collection and investigative studies related to issues of concern to water-management entities and citizens
• Publishing data and topical reports

Comparision of Current Streamflow to Historic Streamflow Conditions

The streamflow-gaging stations shown on these pages depict active stations having at least 30 years of daily mean streamflow data. Clicking the station symbol on the map or the station number in the table will display a graph that presents the current-year streamflow conditions compared to historic streamflow conditions at that station.

Emerging Contaminants

The USGS Colorado Water Science Center, along with over 25 other federal, state, and local Colorado agencies, has joined the Consortium for Research and Education on Emerging Contaminants (CREEC).

CREEC Mission: To take advantage of the unique resources of the Central Rocky Mountain region to achieve the following objectives: facilitate scientifically sound studies regarding the occurrence, fate, transport, and effects of emerging contaminants; interpret and communicate the results of local and national studies on emerging contaminants for stakeholders and the general public; identify critical EC-related research needs; and provide solutions that are transferable worldwide.
