Hydrogeologic Aquifer Test Data, Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center

Summary

As demands on groundwater continue to increase, decision-makers need all available information to ensure the sustainability of this important natural resource. Since the 1940's, commercial, academic, and government hydrologists have used aquifer tests to estimate the hydrogeologic properties of an aquifer near test wells. Results from these tests are recorded in various files, databases, reports, and scientific publications. The Lower Mississippi-Gulf (LMG)-Hydrogeologic Aquifer Test dataset aggregates aquifer test results from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee into a single dataset that is publicly available in a machine readable format. The dataset includes the following information: Location Data, Well Construction [...]
