United States Geological Survey

To give water managers and scientists the timely, accurate information they need to make decisions about protecting water quality, the government agency wanted to consolidate four major legacy data sources into a single data warehouse.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) runs the National Water Quality Assessment Program, which collects and interprets data about the quality of the nation's major groundwater and surface water systems. To give water managers and scientists the timely, accurate information they need to make decisions about protecting water quality, the government agency wanted to consolidate four major legacy data sources into a single data warehouse.

Challenges

  • Build the largest water quality dataset collected
  • Streamline process of compiling data for analysis
  • Improve performance of overloaded data infrastructure
We chose Informatica as our data integration solution because of its maturity, wide range of features, ease of use, and industrial strength, integrated architecture.
