This data release provides the data that support the findings in "Characterizing groundwater and surface-water interaction using hydrograph-separation techniques and groundwater-level data throughout the Mississippi Delta" by Killian and others (2019). This child item for the Generalized Additive Model includes GAMobs_0410_error data and metadata with the grid node coordinates in North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and results, including error estimates for the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) used to estimate the difference in groundwater altitudes relative to NAD 83 for April 10th of 1980 and April 10th of 2016. The paper associated with the data release quantifies the spatial and temporal changes in baseflow...
Groundwater-level data, in conjunction with attendant metadata and covariates (predictor variables) data, for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA) are used to support statistical and process-based numerical modeling. This page represents a collection of groundwater-level data within the expanse of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) (Painter and Westerman, 2018) and are derived from well-specific periods of record of discrete measurements and continuous water levels aggregated to daily statistics. The basic data structures are intended also to serve as interpretability standards for use by statistical software such as described by Asquith and Seanor (2019) and Asquith and others (2019).
This data release provides the data that support the findings in "Characterizing groundwater and surface-water interaction using hydrograph-separation techniques and groundwater-level data throughout the Mississippi Delta" by Killian and others (2019). This child item includes the baseflow_est data and metadata that contain daily mean streamflow data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as well as estimated daily mean streamflow records for any missing data and the hydrograph-separation and trends analyses results for the five selected sites output by the USGS Groundwater Toolbox (https://water.usgs.gov/ogw/gwtoolbox/). The paper associated with the data release...
This data release provides the data that support the findings in "Characterizing groundwater and surface-water interaction using hydrograph-separation techniques and groundwater-level data throughout the Mississippi Delta" by Killian and others (2019). There are two child items below: (1) Estimated baseflow includes the baseflow_est data and metadata that contain daily mean streamflow data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as well as estimated daily mean streamflow records for any missing data and the hydrograph-separation and trends analyses results for the five selected sites output by the USGS Groundwater Toolbox (https://water.usgs.gov/ogw/gwtoolbox/);...

Groundwater from the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA), coincident with the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP), is a vital resource for agriculture and drinking-water supplies in the central United States. Water availability can be limited in some areas of the aquifer by high concentrations of salinity, measured as specific conductance. Boosted regression trees (BRT), a type of ensemble-tree machine-learning method, were used to predict specific conductance concentration at multiple depths throughout the MRVA and underlying aquifers. Two models were created to test the incorporation of datasets from a regional aerial electromagnetic (AEM) survey and evaluate model performance. Explanatory variables...
