The surface water "first-stop" information webpage provides information on a wide range of water-related data sets and maps for Minnesota. The webpages guide users through choices for lakes, rivers and streams, watersheds, wetlands, and miscellaneous water-related GIS data. The “miscellaneous” category contains information on surface water monitoring sites, water appropriations, discharges to surface water, rain gages, general climatology, and the results of water quality and other types of monitoring.
