The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing 2D maps of the shallow aquifers in the Mississippi Delta by collecting surface geophysical data. Scientists plan to collect Capacitively Coupled Resistivity (CCR) data near the towns of Money, Shellmound, Schlater, Blaine, Doddsville, and Steiner in Leflore, and Sunflower Counties. This work is part of the USGS Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Regional Groundwater Availability project but may also prove useful for local water users and managers to better understand their groundwater resources and aquifer systems. All data, maps, and analyses generated by the geophysical surveys will be publically available at no cost.
