Summary
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, Arkansas Geological Survey, and the Union County Water Conservation Board, has monitored water levels as a part of an ongoing effort to provide information for management of the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. The USGS has produced reports, at various intervals, to describe groundwater conditions in the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. These datasets provide the locations of and groundwater-level altitudes from 306 wells that were used to construct a potentiometric contour surface of the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. Measurements were made from January through May 2013 and represent synoptic conditions. All wells were cased completely in and screened in the [...]

These datasets provide the locations of and groundwater-level altitudes from 306 wells that were used to construct a potentiometric contour surface of the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. Measurements were made from January through May 2013 and represent synoptic conditions. All wells were cased completely in and screened in the Sparta-Memphis aquifer. Groundwater-level data are also available from the USGS National Water Information System (U.S. Geological Survey, 2018). First release: February 2018; revised September, 2020 (version 1.1).

Groundwater-level measurements were used in the construction of a potentiometric surface of the Sparta-Memphis aquifer and represent synoptic conditions from January through May 2013. The potentiometric-surface mapping is part of an ongoing cooperative agreement between the USGS, the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, Arkansas Geological Survey, and the Union County Water Conservation Board, whose purpose is to quantify current groundwater resources, evaluate changes in these resources over time, and provide the information needed to address future human-related and environmental stresses.
