The U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMass Amherst), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), began a series of studies in 2019 to develop a web-based statewide hydraulic modeling tool to provide preliminary culvert designs for stream-crossing projects in Massachusetts.

USGS has studied the hydrology of Cape Cod and the Islands and demonstrated our science to the public for more than four decades. Many visitor groups from government agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, and local communities have learned about our groundwater and surface water research in southeastern Massachusetts.
