This dataset contains the contours, in feet, of the potentiometric-surface, spring 2020, Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA). The contours are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The contours were derived from most of the available groundwater-altitude (GWA) data from wells and surface-water-altitude (SWA) data from streamgages, measured in for spring 2020. The potentiometric contours ranged from 10 to 340 feet (3 to 104 meters) above NAVD 88. The regional direction of groundwater flow was generally towards the south-southwest, except in areas of groundwater-altitude depressions, where groundwater flows into the depressions, and near rivers, where groundwater flow generally...
This dataset is the raster, in meters, of the potentiometric-surface map, spring 2020, Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA). The raster cell size is 1,000 meters; the raster was referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The raster, in feet, was interpolated using most of the available groundwater-altitude (GWA) data from wells, surface-water-altitude (SWA) data from streamgages, and the potentiometric contours. Then the raster altitude data was converted to meters.
This dataset contains surface-water-altitude (SWA) data from streamgages that were used or considered (indicated by the field USE_2020) to create a potentiometric-surface map for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA) for spring 2020. The SWA data was referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The streamgages are measured continuously. The streamgage measurement that was used was from early April 2020 and is an estimate of the groundwater altitudes (GWAs) at the gage location. The resultant potentiometric-surface contours and raster represents the generalized central tendency for spring 2020, but it would not be useful for some purposes, such as for calibration of a groundwater-flow...
This dataset is the raster, in feet, of the potentiometric-surface map, spring 2020, Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA). The raster cell size is 1,000 meters; the raster altitude data was referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The raster was interpolated using (1) most of the available groundwater-altitude (GWA) data from wells and surface-water-altitude (SWA) data from streamgages, and (2) potentiometric-surface contours.
This dataset contains groundwater-altitude (GWA) data from wells that were used or considered (indicated by the field USE_2020) to create a potentiometric-surface map for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA) for spring 2020. The GWA data was referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Most of the wells were measured annually, but some wells were measured more than one time in a year and a small number of wells were measured continuously. GWA data were from wells measured in spring 2020. To best reflect hydrologic conditions in the MRVA, the GWA data used to create the 2020 potentiometric surface would be measured in a short-time frame of days or a week and there would be available...
