Water Resources of New JerseyWelcome to the USGS New Jersey Water Science Center Web page. This is your direct link to water-resource information on New Jersey's rivers and streams, groundwater, water quality, and biology. Data collection and interpretive studies are done by the Center to support statewide water-resource infrastructure and management needs and are part of the USGS science strategy to address the water-resource priorities of the Nation and global trends in:

NJ Water SciencesThe USGS New Jersey Water Science Center monitors and analyzes surface-water, groundwater, water-quality, and biological parameters throughout the State. Data collection and interpretive studies are done in cooperation with various local, State, or Federal agencies. Surface WaterThe USGS New Jersey Water Science Center provides real-time water-stage and streamflow data for more than 140 sites across the State. Flood prediction, stream low-flow characteristics, and surface-water-quality are currently being investigated as part of 28 studies. GroundwaterThe USGS New Jersey Water Science Center maintains a long-term water-level-monitoring network of 192 wells. Real-time water-level data are available for 22 of these wells. More than 30 groundwater investigations are underway to evaluate groundwater-supply and groundwater-quality issues. Water QualityThe USGS New Jersey Water Science Center continuously monitors Water-quality conditions at 42 real-time sites across the State of New Jersey. Groundwater and Surface-water-quality issues are addressed in more than 30 current interpretive studies. BiologyInterpretive studies based on periodic monitoring address aquatic-life impairments resulting from the impact of hydrologic stresses. Featured ProjectStreamStats - New Jersey
StreamStats for New Jersey can be used to estimate instantaneous flood discharges with exceedance probabilities of 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, and 0.002 for ungaged, unregulated, rural streams. These exceedance probabilities correspond to recurrence intervals of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years, respectively. The report below presents the regression equations used to estimate the peak-flow statistics, describes the errors associated with the estimates, and describes the methods used to develop the equations and to measure the basin characteristics used in the equations. Users should familiarize themselves with the report before using StreamStats to obtain estimates of streamflow statistics for ungaged sites.
