Water is our most fundamental natural resource, a resource that is limited. Challenges to our nation's water resources continue to grow, driven by population growth, ecological needs, climate change, and other pressures. The nation needs more and improved water science and information to meet these challenges. Toward a Sustainable and Secure Water Future reviews the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) Water Resource Discipline (WRD), one of the nation's foremost water science organizations. This book provides constructive advice to help the WRD meet the nation's water needs over the coming decades. Of interest primarily to the leadership of the USGS WRD, many findings and recommendations also target the USGS leadership and the Department of Interior (DOI), because their support is necessary for the WRD to respond to the water needs of the nation.

In 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published a Bureau Science Strategy Facing Tomorrow's Challenges—U.S. Geological Survey Science in the Decade 2007–2017. It provided a view of the future, establishing science goals that reflected the USGS's fundamental mission in areas of societal impact such as energy and minerals, climate and land use change, ecosystems, natural hazards, environmental health, and water. Intended to inform long-term program planning, the strategy emphasizes how USGS science can make substantial contributions to the well-being of the Nation and the world.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Streamgaging Network

The U.S. Geological Survey operates streamgages in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Of its 11,340 streamgages, about 8,460 measure streamflow year around as part of the National Streamflow Network. Data from the streamgaging stations are used by a variety of government agencies, companies, scientific institutions, and recreationists for infrastructure design, flood mapping and forecasting, and safety among many other purposes. In the early 2000s, USGS designated federal priority streamgage (FPS) locations based on national needs. Congress has appropriated funds for the Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS). This paper discusses federal policy on these projects.

Solving problems related to use of water resources will be of paramount importance in coming decades as increasing pressure from growing populations, climate change, extreme weather, and aging water-related infrastructure threaten water availability and quality. The Water Mission Area (WMA) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a long-established reputation for collecting and delivering high-quality, unbiased scientific information related to the nation's water resources. WMA observations help inform decisions ranging from rapid responses during emergencies such as hurricanes, floods, and forest fires, to the long-term management of water resources. Produced at the request of USGS, this report identifies the nation's highest-priority water science and resources challenges over the next 25 years. Future Water Priorities for the Nation summarizes WMA's current water science and research portfolio, and recommends strategic opportunities for WMA to more effectively address the most pressing challenges.
