Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer Study
Objectives
The objectives of the proposed investigation are to:
- Assess the ground-water availability (status and trends)
of the Mississippi embayment aquifer system using a ground-water flow model
- Develop a better understanding of the freshwater bearing
deposits of the Mississippi embayment aquifer system
- Systematically estimate water budget components for the
ground-water flow system in areas dominated by irrigated
agriculture or public supply withdrawals
- Examine the existing water-level monitoring and evaluate
improvements in monitoring network design and understanding
of hydrologic factors crucial to the assessment of ground-water
availability
