Summary of results of an investigation to define the geohydrology and simulate the effects of large ground-water withdrawals on the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northwestern Mississippi
D. M. Sumner, B. E. Wasson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4343
The 7,000 square-mile Mississippi River alluvial plain in north-western Mississippi (the Delta) is underlain by the prolific Mississippi River alluvial aquifer that currently (1983) yields about 1,100 Mgal/d of water to irrigation wells. Commonly, about 20 feet of clay underlying the Delta land surface is underlain by about 80 to...

Estimate of self-supplied domestic water use in Oklahoma during 1980
J.D. Stoner
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4223
Reported or measured water-use data for the domestic self-supplied user were not available for Oklahoma; therefore estimates of water use within this classification were derived. The total self-supplied population in Oklahoma during 1980 was estimated to be 343,615, which was 11.4 percent of the total 1980 State population. The rate...
