Abstract

Information inquiries to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Denver Library are often related to real-time, recent, and historical water. Data, maps, and publications through time for floods, droughts, water supplies, as well as land and land-use changes are available from several sources from the USGS. Additionally, how the water-cycle components relate to other Earth data are of interest to library users. Information sources are available in print and online to the public, and information specialists are eager to assist with finding and using Earth data through outreach and instruction sessions.
