Surface Water

The USGS currently maintains around 88 full time stream-gaging stations in Alaska and about 40 "partial-record" stations used for peak flow data collection.

Ground Water

The USGS currently monitors ground-water levels at around 189 locations in Alaska. The USGS maintains a computerized data base which contains information on more than 18,000 wells or springs located through Alaska.

Water Quality

The USGS collects water-quality data at several locations in Alaska. The USGS data base contains chemical-analysis information on more than 2,100 surface-water sites and more than 2,300 ground-water sites in Alaska

Water Index

This index is a list of sites throughout Alaska at which streamflow, lake-level, and water-quality data have been collected by the USGS

Glaciers

The USGS collects meteorological, mass balance, and runoff data on selected glaciers.

Water Use

The USGS collects, stores, and disseminates water-use data that will complement water-availability and water-quality data currently collected under ongoing programs for Alaska and the nation.

Hydrologic Data Reports

Every year an annual report is published on the water resources for Alaska.

Projects

The USGS frequently collects or compiles additional specialized data for specific projects such as glacier data or environmental data
