The Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) is a research-focused unit affiliated with Indiana University, based in Bloomington, Indiana. It traces its origins to 1837 and was formalized by state statute in 1993 to provide unbiased earth science information through research, service, and education. The survey serves both public and private sectors by delivering data for locating and evaluating mineral and energy resources, reducing environmental risks to land, water, and air, aiding mined-land reclamation, and identifying geologic hazards. 

IGWS maintains a staff of professional scientists along with technical and support personnel and is primarily funded by an annual state appropriation, with additional contracts and grants from state, federal, and private sources. As part of Indiana University, the survey supports education and public outreach and relies on information technology and a robust website to provide publicly accessible data and publications, while Indiana's natural resource industries contribute more than $2.3 billion annually to the state's economy.
