The
purpose
of
REEF
is
to
educate
and
enlist
divers
in
the
conservation
of
marine
habitats.
The
main
focus
of
this
site
is
the
Fish
Survey
Project,
in
which
volunteer
scuba
divers
and
snorkelers
collect
and
report
information
on
marine
fish
populations.
The
data
is
accessible
through
this
website,
and
users
can
both
contribute
data
they
gather
and
generate
reports
from
the
database.

NOAA's
Paleoclimatology
Program
is
working
with
scientists
from
around
the
world
to
study
past
climate
in
hopes
of
achieving
a
better
understanding
of
the
Earth's
present
and
future
climate.
This

As part of its Water Science for Schools site, the US Geological Survey defines industrial water use and includes several tables and maps showing where and how industry uses water. Students and teachers can look at their state and see 1990 data for how much ground water and how much surface water is used in industry as well as how much of that water is fresh or saline.

Robowell is an automated process for monitoring selected ground-water-quality properties and constituents. It was developed to provide a cost effective monitoring system that met protocols expected for manual sampling. Users have access to real-time water quality data. There are also links to other water quality sites.
