Background/History of the Laboratory:

The Idaho Water Science Center is one of 48 nationwide USGS water science centers. Our research is focused in four basic areas:
  • Surface water features such as rivers, lakes, and streams
  • Ground water resources
  • Water quality and biological integrity
  • Water use and availability

Mission of the Laboratory:

Our mission is to provide reliable, impartial scientific information to our local, state, tribal, and federal cooperators so they can efficiently manage the water resources within their jurisdictions. Our data is also essential to protecting the citizens of Idaho against floods and other natural disasters.
