Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:57 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 02, 2021 at 12:00 AM
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.
