Trend Departure Index Results for the RESTORE Trend Analysis and Streamflow Alterations studies
Trend Departure Index (TDI) is computed as: (number of quantiles for which the trend result departs from the result for the associated reference site) / (total number of quantiles). In a Quantile-Kendall analysis for the annual time frame, the denominator, or total number of quantiles, is 365. TDI varies from 0 to 1; a TDI of 0 indicates the trend results for the site
National Water Dashboard (NWD)
The National Water Dashboard (NWD) is a mobile, interactive tool that provides real-time information on water levels, weather, and flood forecasts - all in one place on a computer, smartphone, or other mobile device. The NWD presents real-time stream, lake and reservoir, precipitation, and groundwater data from more than 13,500 USGS observation stations across the country.
Water-level data, selected water-quality data, and the potentiometric dataset for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas, spring 2014
A potentiometric-surface map represents the altitude at which water would stand in tightly cased wells completed at any location within the study area aquifer. Using the altitude of water levels measured in the study area, the potentiometric-surface map depicts points of equal altitude with contours denoting a given water-level altitude calculated by subtracting the water level measured from...
Flood Inundation Maps and Water Surface Elevation Data for the February 17, 2020 flood of the Pearl River at Jackson, Mississippi
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented the extent of flooding along a reach of the Pearl River through the metropolitan area of Jackson, Mississippi following the flood event of February 10-26, 2020. The event was a result of heavy precipitation over a 72-hour period combined with pre-existing saturated soil conditions in the upper portions of the Pearl River basin. USGS streamga
Georeferenced Plate 1 Figure 2, 1996, from "Hydrogeology and Potentiometric Surface of the Sparta Aquifer in Northern Louisiana, October 1996" (Brantly, Seanor, and McCoy, 2002)
This report describes the thickness and areal extent of the Sparta aquifer, identifies sands within the fresh-water extent of the aquifer, and presents data and a map that illustrate the generalized potentiometric surface (water levels) during October 1996. The report includes a detailed geophysical log, structure contour maps, hydrogeologic sections, and hydrographs of water levels
Prediction grids of pH for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial and Claiborne Aquifers
Groundwater is a vital resource to the Mississippi embayment region of the central United States. Regional and integrated assessments of water availability that link physical flow models and water quality in principal aquifer systems provide context for the long-term availability of these water resources. An innovative approach using machine learning was employed to predict groundwater pH...

Georeferenced Plate 10, 1968, from "Hydrologic significance of the lithofacies of the Sparta Sand in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas" (Payne, 1968)
The study of the geohydrology of the Sparta Sand is the initial phase in the investigation of the geohydrology of the Claiborne Group. The thicker sections of the Sparta Sand lie along the axes of the Mississippi embayment and Desha basin. The area of maximum thickness, 1,100-1,200 feet, is in Claiborne and Warren Counties, Miss., and Madison Parish, La. Local thickening or thinning

Georeferenced Maps of the Thickness of the Sparta Aquifer in MS, AR, and LA, 1961 to 1996
The Sparta aquifer is a primary source of groundwater in north-central Louisiana. In 2015, more than 60 million gallons per day were withdrawn from the Sparta aquifer, of which over 90 percent was used for public supply and industrial purposes (Collier, 2018). Concentrated withdrawals from the Sparta aquifer have caused regional water-level declines within the Sparta aquifer (McGee an

Supporting Data for Estimating Selected Low-Flow Frequency Statistics and Mean Annual Flow for Ungaged Locations on Streams in Alabama
Streamflow data and statistics are vitally important for proper protection and management of both the water quality and water quantity of Alabama streams. Such data and statistics are available at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations, also referred to as streamgages or stations, but are often needed at ungaged stream locations. To address this need, the U.S. Geological Survey%2...
