Our new StoryMap highlights the importance of this unique collaboration to collect water quantity data and builds from two StoryMaps that DNR's Water Use Section has previously published at https://t.co/k5OA8zbpdt #wateruse

Sometimes we spend days and months examining questions that were understood years ago (55 years ago). A flashback to a classic. I believe the soundtrack has stood the test of time https://t.co/4THmiYBk9w #groundwater #wateruse #hydrology #usgs
