Background/History of the Laboratory:
The U.S. Geological Survey currently operates about 440
data collection sites in Nebraska for acquiring
information on surface-water, ground-water, water-quality, and precipitation. About 132 of the sites
with satellite
telemetry provide real-time data via GOES satellites and downlinks, which enables the posting of data
to the
Web for public dissemination.
