Natural Attenuation of Groundwater

"Natural attenuation" refers to the ability of a ground water system to rid itself of contamination resulting from a spill or improper disposal of wastes. It is emerging as a viable and in some cases, the preferred remedy for contaminated ground water.

The basic concept of natural attenuation is not new. We depend on it, for example, in municipal wastewater permits that allow treatment plants to discharge a certain amount of wastes without unduly depleting oxygen in surfac... [More]

USGS Real-Time Water Data for the Nation

Select a state from the map to access real-time data

Real-time data typically are recorded at 15-60 minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS offices every 1 to 4 hours, depending on the data relay technique used. Recording and transmission times may be more frequent during critical events. Data from real-time sites are relayed to USGS offices via satellite, telephone, and/or radio and are available for viewing within minutes of arrival.
