Flood-frequency comparison from 1995 to 2016 and trends in peak streamflow in Arkansas, water years 1930–2016
In 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, began a study in Arkansas to investigate possible increasing trends in annual peak streamflow data and the possible resulting increase in the annual exceedance probability flood (AEPF) predictions. Temporal trends...

Characterization of peak streamflows and flood inundation of selected areas in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi from flood of March 2016
Heavy rainfall occurred across Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi in March 2016 as a result of a slow-moving southward dip in the jetstream, funneling tropical moisture into parts of the Gulf Coast States and the Mississippi River Valley. The storm caused major flooding in the northwestern and southeastern parts of Louisiana and in...

Water withdrawals and trends in ground-water levels and stream discharge in Louisiana
In 2000, approximately 10,400 mgal/d (million gallons per day) of water was withdrawn from ground- and surface-water sources in Louisiana, an increase of 10 percent from 1990. In 2000, about 16 percent (1,600 Mgal/d) of the water withdrawn was ground water. Approximately 93 percent of the ground water withdrawn was from four aquifers or aquifer...
