Summary
These water-use estimates represent the total amount of groundwater used for aquaculture and irrigation purposes within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain during each water year (October 1 - September 30). These totals are a summation of water use for aquaculture, cotton, corn, rice, soybeans, and all other crops for water years 2000 to 2017. Units are in cubic meters per square mile. This dataset is formatted as a NetCDF file, with each water year as a separate raster array table, and intended for modeling applications.

These estimates were developed to improve water-use estimates needed as input to a hydrologic decision-support system and provide a framework for future water-use monitoring and modeling efforts on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain project (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/lmg-water/science/mississippi-alluvial-plain-map-water-availability-study-0?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects).
