Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River 

Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

Abstract

During the spring of 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey, in 

cooperation with the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission 

and the Arkansas Geological Survey, measured water levels in 

342 wells completed in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial 

aquifer in eastern Arkansas. The Arkansas Natural Resources 

Commission measured water levels in 11 wells, and the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation 

Service measured water levels in 239 wells completed in 

the alluvial aquifer and provided these data to the Arkansas 

Natural Resources Commission. In 2010, estimated water 

withdrawals from the alluvial aquifer in Arkansas totaled 

about 7,592 million gallons per day. Withdrawals more than 

doubled between 1985 and 2010, about a 115-percent increase.

The regional direction of groundwater flow is generally 

to the south and east except where flow is affected by 

groundwater withdrawals. East of Crowleys Ridge, water 

flows from north to south along Crowleys Ridge and northeast 

to southwest along the Mississippi River. West of Crowleys 

Ridge, water flows from northeast to southwest along 

Crowleys Ridge from Clay County to Craighead County. 

From Craighead County to Monroe County, a depression 

redirects groundwater flow from all directions. A depression 

in Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie Counties alters groundwater 

flow from all directions. South of the Arkansas River, the flow 

is towards the southeast, except near depressions in Lincoln 

and Desha Counties and Desha and Chicot Counties where 

flow is towards the depression. In 2012, the lowest waterlevel altitude was 73 feet (ft) in Arkansas County. The highest 

water-level altitude was 288 ft in northeastern Clay County on 

the western side of Crowleys Ridge. 

The 2012 potentiomentric-surface map shows eight 

depressions, two large depressions and six small depressions. 

One large depression begins in southeastern Arkansas County, 

at the Arkansas and Desha County line, extends north into 

Prairie County, west into Lonoke County, and east into the 

westernmost part of Monroe County. The area in Lonoke, 

Prairie, and White Counties in the northwestern half of the 

depression has a water-level altitude measurement of 90 ft and 

has expanded into the northern third of Prairie County. 

The 2012 potentiometric-surface map shows a general 

north-south depression with the southern end in central 

Monroe County through western Lee, St. Francis, Cross, 

Poinsett, and Craighead Counties and eastern Woodruff 

and Jackson Counties. There are two deeper areas in this 

depression, one at the Monroe and Lee County line, with a low 

water-level altitude measurement of 123 ft, and the second in 

Poinsett County, with a low water-level altitude measurement 

of 113 ft. The six small depressions are located in northern 

Ashley County, in southern Desha and northern Chicot 

Counties, in eastern Lincoln and western Chicot Counties, 

at the Arkansas and Desha County line, in northern Phillips 

County, and in southeastern Greene County. 

A map showing the difference in water levels was 

constructed using 541 differences in water levels measured 

during 2008 and 2012. The difference in measured water levels 

from 2008 to 2012 ranged from -27.4 ft to 18.7 ft, with a mean 

of -1.0 ft. The largest decline of -27.4 ft occurred in Lonoke 

County, and the largest rise of 18.7 ft occurred in Prairie 

County. Four areas were predominated by declines—west of 

Crowleys Ridge from Greene County south to Lee County, 

including Lawrence and southern Woodruff Counties; east of 

Crowleys Ridge from Clay County south to Poinsett County 

and Mississippi County; Lonoke and Jefferson Counties; 

and Ashley, Chicot, Desha, and Drew Counties. Three areas 

are predominated by rises in measured water levels—east of 

Crowleys Ridge in Crittenden, Cross, Lee, and St. Francis 

Counties; Jackson and northern Woodruff Counties; and 

Arkansas, Monroe, Phillips, Prairie, and White Counties.

Long-term water-level changes were evaluated using 

hydrographs from 319 wells in the alluvial aquifer for the 

period from 1988 to 2012. The annual rise or decline in water 

level for the entire study area was -0.45 feet per year (ft/yr) 

with a range from -2.08 to 0.84 ft/yr. Arkansas County had 

two different rates of annual decline for the two hydrographs 

shown, about 0.97 ft/yr and about 0.26 ft/yr. 

In Craighead, Cross, Lee, Poinsett, and St. Francis 

Counties, water levels are declining at a greater rate in areas 

west of Crowleys Ridge than in areas east of Crowleys Ridge. 

Two hydrographs are shown in each of Craighead, Cross, Lee, 

Poinsett, and St. Francis Counties, one on the west side of 

Crowleys Ridge and one on the east side of Crowleys Ridge. 

The hydrographs west of Crowleys Ridge have annual waterlevel declines from -0.91 to -1.24 ft/yr. The hydrographs east 

of Crowleys Ridge have annual water-level declines from -0.07 

to -0.40 ft/yr. The mean county annual water-level declines for 

these counties range from -0.55 to -0.87 ft/yr.

Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

Water samples were collected in the summer of 2012 

from142 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer and measured 

onsite for specific conductance, temperature, and pH. Samples 

were collected from 94 wells for dissolved chloride analysis. 

Specific conductance ranged from 91 microsiemens per 

centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (μS/cm at 25 °C) in Drew 

County to 984 μS/cm at 25 °C in Monroe County. The mean 

specific conductance was 547 μS/cm at 25 °C. Temperature 

ranged from 18.1 degrees Celsius (°C) in Crittenden County 

to 22.4 °C in Prairie County. The mean temperature was 

22.1 °C. The pH ranged from 8.3 in Randolph County to 6.2 

in Drew County and had a median of 7.3. Dissolved chloride 

concentrations ranged from 3.34 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in 

Randolph County to 182 mg/L in Lincoln County. The mean 

chloride concentration was 27.6 mg/L.

Introduction

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain encompasses an area 

of approximately 32,000 square miles and includes parts of 

Arkansas and nearby States. Approximately 54 percent of 

the Mississippi Alluvial Plain covers the eastern one-third 

of Arkansas (fig. 1). The Mississippi River Valley alluvial 

aquifer (herein referred to as the alluvial aquifer) underlies 

the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in eastern Arkansas. Within 

Arkansas, the alluvial aquifer extends from the Missouri State 

line south to the Louisiana State line, and from the Mississippi 

River west to the Fall Line (the physiographic boundary 

between the Atlantic Plain and the Interior Highlands) and 

the Monticello Ridge (a topographic feature in southeastern 

Arkansas) (fig. 1). 

During the spring of 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS), in cooperation with the Arkansas Natural Resources 

Commission (ANRC) and the Arkansas Geological Survey, 

measured water levels in 342 wells completed in the alluvial 

aquifer in eastern Arkansas. The ANRC measured water 

levels in 11 wells and the U.S. Department of AgricultureNatural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) measured 

water levels in 239 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer and 

provided these data to the ANRC. The USGS incorporated 

those data into a database and developed a potentiometricsurface map of the alluvial aquifer for the spring of 2012 using 

all 592 water-level measurements made by the three agencies. 

Water samples collected in the summer of 2012 from142 wells 

completed in the alluvial aquifer were measured onsite for 

specific conductance, temperature, and pH. Dissolved chloride 

samples were collected from 94 wells and were analyzed by

the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory. These analyses 

provided information for a database of selected water-quality 

data for the alluvial aquifer. Information in this report includes 

(1) groundwater levels for spring 2012, (2) a potentiometricsurface map, (3) a water-level difference map comparing 

water levels from 2008 to 2012, (4) selected water-level 

hydrographs, and (5) a groundwater water-quality data table 

for the summer of 2012. 

Water Use

The alluvial aquifer is increasingly relied upon for 

agriculture and aquaculture water supply in eastern Arkansas. 

Estimated water withdrawals from the alluvial aquifer in 

Arkansas totaled about 7,592 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) 

in 2010 (Terrance W. Holland, U.S. Geological Survey, written 

commun., 2013) and about 1,063 Mgal/d in 1965 (fig. 2) 

(Halberg and Stephens, 1966), with an increase of about 

614 percent. Withdrawals have more than doubled between 

1985 and 2010, with an increase of about 115 percent. 

Starting in 1970 and continuing in 5-year intervals through 

2005, estimated water withdrawals from the alluvial aquifer 

in Arkansas totaled about 1,287 Mgal/d, 2,211 Mgal/d, 

3,697 Mgal/d, 3,534 Mgal/d, 4,360 Mgal/d, 5,056 Mgal/d, 

6,585 Mgal/d, and 7,252 Mgal/d (Halberg, 1972, 1977; 

Holland and Ludwig, 1981; Holland, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2004, 

2007). 

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system used in this report is based 

upon the Public Land Survey System used in Arkansas. 

The component parts of a well number are the township 

designation; the range designation; the section number; 

three-letter designation that indicates, respectively, the quarter 

section, the quarter-quarter section, and the quarter-quarterquarter section in which the well is located; and the sequence 

number of the well in the quarter-quarter-quarter section. The 

letters are assigned counterclockwise, beginning with “A” 

in the northeast quarter or quarter-quarter or quarter-quarterquarter section in which the well is located. For example, well 

01S03W04BBD16 (fig. 3) is located in Township 1 South, 

Range 3 West, in the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter 

of the northwest quarter of section 4. This well is the 16th well 

in this quarter-quarter-quarter section of section 4 from which 

data were collected.

Methods

Water levels were measured from March to May 2012 

by personnel from the USGS, ANRC, and NRCS from 

wells completed in the alluvial aquifer. Measurements were 

made using steel or electric tapes graduated in hundredths 

of a foot. Water levels were collected according to USGS 

technical procedures (Cunningham and Schalk, 2011). The 

steel and electric tapes were calibrated prior to collecting 

water-level measurements. Calibration was performed by 

comparing the steel or electric tapes to a standardized steel 

tape used only for calibration. Tape calibrations are performed 

annually. 

Well locations were verified using Global Positioning 

System (GPS) receivers to acquire the horizontal-coordinate 

information, latitude and longitude, based on the North 

American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The latitude and 

longitude of the wells in Arkansas were recorded from a 

GPS receiver accurate to one-tenth of a second of latitude 

and longitude (approximately 10–20 feet [ft]). The latitude 

and longitude of each well were transferred to topographic 

maps, and the altitude of each well (National Geodetic 

Vertical Datum of 1929 [NGVD 29]) was determined from 

the topographic contours at the location on the map. Altitude 

is accurate to about 2.5 to 5 ft, or half the contour interval 

on the map. Wells with altitudes reported to the hundredths 

of a foot had levels measured to the well using surveying 

equipment. 

Two methods are used for calculating the annual rise or 

decline of water levels. One method is to take the difference 

between the final and initial water levels and divide by the 

period of time. This method uses two measurements, and 

calculated values are dependent solely on the final and initial 

water levels. A second method uses the linear regression of 

water levels and time of measurement to calculate the annual 

rise or decline of water levels. Linear regression is more robust 

because it includes all the measurements to determine the 

trend line, resulting in a value that is dependent on all water 

levels during the period of record. The slope, β (equation 1), 

of the line is the annual rise or decline of water levels. The 

intercept, b0

, is the projected water level in the year 1900, the 

origin for the graph. The predevelopment water level will not 

be discussed as this condition cannot be demonstrated. The 

equation of the regression line or line of best fit, Y = aX+b, 

may be written as:

h = βt + b0 (1)

where

h is water-level altitude, in feet;

β is the slope of the line, in feet per year;

t is time, in years; and

b0 is the y-intercept or water-level altitude at 

time equal to 1900, in feet.

Five assumptions are associated with linear regression: 

(1) Y is linearly related to X, (2) data used to fit the 

linear regression are representative of the data of interest, 

(3) variance of the residuals is constant and does not depend 

on X or on anything else, (4) the residuals are independent, 

and (5) the residuals are normally distributed. The assumption 

of a normal distribution is involved only when testing 

hypotheses, which requires the residuals from the regression 

equation to be normally distributed (Helsel and Hirsch, 

1992).

The R2 term is the coefficient of determination, the 

correlation coefficient, or the fraction of variance explained 

by the regression. The R2 value gives the proportions of the 

total variability that can be accounted by the independent 

variable (Helsel and Hirsch, 1992). Values of R2 can range 

from 0.00 to 1.00. A large value of R2 can indicate a linear 

change in water level. A low value of R2 can indicate sporadic 

change in water level.

Water-quality samples were collected for specific 

conductance, pH, and temperature using the procedures 

described in the National Field Manual for the Collection 

of Water-Quality Data (U.S. Geological Survey, variously 

dated). Samples also were collected for dissolved chloride 

analysis at the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory 

(Fishman and Friedman, 1989). Wells were purged a 

minimum of three-casing volumes at a pumping rate that 

ranged from 100 to 500 gallons per minute. The purge 

process is important to obtain an accurate water-quality 

sample that is representative of the aquifer conditions 

without the effects of the borehole environment. Casing 

volumes for the wells were calculated from the well-casing 

diameter, depth to water, and well depth. The cross-sectional 

area of the casing was calculated from the casing diameter, 

and the height of the water column was determined by 

subtracting the depth to water from the well depth. The area 

and the height of the water column were multiplied for a 

casing volume in cubic feet, then converted to gallons. The 

calculated purge volume at each well was then divided by the 

pumping rate to determine the minimum pumping time for 

purging.

During the purge process, specific conductance, pH, 

and temperature were measured from selected wells using 

specific-conductance and pH meters with temperature 

compensation until measurements stabilized (Fishman and 

Friedman, 1989). A field meter was calibrated twice daily by 

comparing the measurements of two specific conductance 

standards and two pH calibration standards. Specific 

conductance is a measure of the electrical conductance of a 

solution normalized to 25 degress Celsius (°C), an indicator 

of the presence of charged ionic species or dissolved 

solids. As the ion concentration increases in groundwater, 

the conductivity of the groundwater increases. The pH is 

a measure of the acidity of the water, an indicator of the 

hydrogen ion concentration and activity.

Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

Aquifer Description

The alluvial aquifer comprises alluvial and terrace 

deposits of Quaternary age (Ackerman, 1996). Lithologically, 

the Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits are similar, 

consisting of unconsolidated sediments that grade from 

gravel and coarse sand in the lower sections to silt and clay 

in the upper sections (Boswell and others, 1968). The coarse 

sediments contained in the lower sections of the alluvial and 

terrace deposits are capable of sustaining high-yielding wells 

(Ackerman, 1996). Finer sediments in the upper sections of 

the alluvial and terrace deposits form a confining unit above 

much of the aquifer. This confining unit is thin or has been 

completely removed by erosion in some areas, especially 

near large rivers within the study area (Gonthier and Mahon, 

1993). Channel fill, point bar, and backswamp deposits 

associated with present or former channels of large rivers have 

produced abrupt changes in lithology and result in large spatial 

variations in the hydraulic properties of the aquifer (Joseph, 

1999). 

Sedimentary rocks and unconsolidated sediments of 

Tertiary age or older underlie the alluvial aquifer and have 

been modified by geologic processes into an undulating 

surface (Mahon and Poynter, 1993). In most areas, these rocks 

and sediments are less permeable than the overlying alluvial 

and terrace deposits of Quaternary age and form the confining 

unit below the alluvial aquifer (Boswell and others, 1968).

In the northern half of the study area, the alluvial and 

terrace deposits of Quaternary age are separated by Crowleys 

Ridge (fig. 1), an erosional remnant of deposits of Tertiary 

age trending north-south from the Missouri-Arkansas border. 

Crowleys Ridge is a prominent topographic feature on the 

otherwise low-relief surface of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain 

and forms a physical barrier to groundwater flow in the 

alluvial aquifer.

Water Levels

Water-level measurements in wells completed in the 

alluvial aquifer (app. 1) were used to produce a regional 

potentiometric-surface map (pl. 1). The water-level altitudes 

for the potentiometric-surface map were calculated by 

subtracting the depth-to-water measurement from the landsurface altitude, then rounding to the nearest foot. All water 

levels on the potentiometric-surface map (pl. 1), the longterm hydrographs, and appendix 1 are in feet of altitude, 

referenced to NGVD 29. A difference in water-level map from 

2008 to 2012 (pl. 2) was produced by subtracting water-level 

measurements in 2012 from measurements in 2008. Data from 

wells that have water-level measurements with a minimum 

25-year period of record were used to produce hydrographs. 

The water-level changes shown in the hydrographs indicate 

long-term changes in hydrologic conditions. Long-term waterlevel changes shown by many of the hydrographs reflect the 

development of depressions in the potentiometric surface. 

Potentiometric-Surface Map

The potentiometric-surface map (pl. 1) shows the altitude 

at which water would have stood in tightly cased wells 

completed in the alluvial aquifer. The map on plate 1 is based 

on water-level measurements (342 by USGS, 11 by ANRC, 

and 239 by NRCS) made in 592 wells during the spring of 

2012 (app. 1). The potentiometric surface was mapped using 

the altitude of the water levels measured in the wells and is 

represented on the map by contours that connect points of 

equal altitude. The general direction of groundwater flow is 

perpendicular to the contours in the direction of decreasing 

potentiometric-surface altitude. In 2012, the lowest water-level 

altitude was 73 ft in Arkansas County. The highest water-level 

altitude was 288 ft in northeastern Clay County on the western 

side of Crowleys Ridge. 

The regional direction of groundwater flow is generally to 

the south and east except where flow is affected by groundwater 

withdrawals. The groundwater flow direction is affected over 

substantial areas by depressions (pl. 1). East of Crowleys 

Ridge, water flows from north to south along Crowleys Ridge 

and northeast to southwest along the Mississippi River. West 

of Crowleys Ridge, water flows from northeast to southwest 

along Crowleys Ridge from Clay County to Craighead County. 

From Craighead County to Monroe County, a depression 

alters groundwater flow from all directions. The depression in 

Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie Counties also alters groundwater 

flow from all directions. The flow along large sections of the 

Arkansas, Mississippi, and White Rivers is away from the 

rivers. South of the Arkansas River, the flow is towards the 

southeast, except near the depressions in Lincoln and Desha 

Counties and Desha and Chicot Counties where flow is towards 

the depressions. 

Previous reports described three large depressions in the 

alluvial aquifer potentiometric surface (Stanton and others, 

1998; Joseph, 1999; Schrader, 2001; Reed, 2004; Schrader, 

2006, 2008, 2010). A large, elongated area of depression 

extends across Arkansas, Lonoke, Prairie, and White Counties. 

Two shallow depressions in Lee, Monroe, St. Francis, and 

Woodruff Counties and in Craighead, Cross, and Poinsett 

Counties have now merged into a single depression. 

The 2012 potentiomentric-surface map shows eight 

depressions, two large depressions and six small depressions. 

One large depression begins in southeastern Arkansas County, 

at the Arkansas and Desha County line, and extends north into 

Prairie County, west into Lonoke County, and east into the 

westernmost part of Monroe County. The area in Arkansas 

County within the southeastern half of the depression has 

not expanded horizontally during recent years, although the 

center of the depression has deepened. The lowest water-level 

altitude measurement is 73 ft. The Arkansas and White Rivers 

that bound Arkansas County on the southwestern and eastern 

county lines are hydrologically connected to the alluvial aquifer 

and provide recharge. The area in Lonoke, Prairie, and White 

Counties in the northwestern half of the depression has a low 

water-level altitude measurement of 90 ft and has expanded 

into the northern third of Prairie County.

Along the western side of Crowleys Ridge, two 

previously documented areas of depression expanded and 

merged into a single depression by 2002 (Reed, 2004). The 

2012 potentiometric-surface map shows a general north-south 

depression with the southern end in central Monroe County 

extending through western Lee, St. Francis, Cross, Poinsett, 

and Craighead Counties and eastern Woodruff and Jackson 

Counties. Two deeper areas occur in this depression, one at the 

Monroe and Lee County line, with a low water-level altitude 

measurement of 123 ft, and the second in Poinsett County, 

with a low water-level altitude measurement of 113 ft. 

Six small depressions are shown in the 2012 

potentiometric-surface map. Beginning at the south end of the 

map, there is a depression in northern Ashley County, with a 

low water-level altitude measurement of 96 ft. The depression 

in northern Chicot and southern Desha Counties was first 

evident in the 1998 potentiometric surface (Joseph, 1999) 

and has a low water-level altitude measurement of 86 ft. The 

depression in eastern Lincoln and western Desha Counties 

was first evident in the 2002 potentiometric surface (Schrader, 

2006) and has a low water-level altitude measurement of 

110 ft. The depression at the Desha and Arkansas County line 

was first evident in the 2006 potentiometric surface (Schrader, 

2008) and has a low water-level altitude measurement of 

113 ft. The depression in northern Phillips County is shown 

for the first time in the 2012 potentiometric surface and 

has a low water-level altitude measurement of 149 ft. The 

depression in southeastern Greene County was first evident 

in the 1998 potentiometric surface (Joseph, 1999) and has a 

low water-level altitude measurement of 214 ft. Continued 

monitoring of the potentiometric surface will determine if 

these small depressions are the result of short-term variations 

or long-term changes in the hydrologic conditions in the 

alluvial aquifer.

Water-Level Difference from 2008 to 2012

A map showing the difference in water level (pl. 2) was 

constructed using 541 differences in water levels measured 

during 2012 (app. 2) and 2008 (Schrader, 2010). Differences 

in water level were calculated by subtracting the 2012 

depth-to-water measurement from the 2008 depth-to-water 

measurement. Positive values indicate a rise and negative 

values indicate a decline in water level. Rises in water level 

are indicated on plate 2 with blue triangles pointing upward; 

declines in water level are indicated with red triangles pointing 

downward. The triangle size is scaled to the value of rise or 

decline. 

The difference in measured water levels from 2008 to 

2012 ranged from -27.4 ft to 18.7 ft, with a mean of -1.0 ft. 

The largest decline of -27.4 ft occurred in Lonoke County and 

the largest rise of 18.7 ft occurred in Prairie County. Out of the 

541 differences on plate 2, 335 were declines (61.9 percent), 

16 were no difference (values of 0.0 ft; 3.0 percent), and 

190 were rises (35.1 percent). Four areas are predominated 

by declines—west of Crowleys Ridge from Greene County 

south to Lee County, including eastern Lawrence and 

southern Woodruff Counties; east of Crowleys Ridge from 

Clay County south to Mississippi and Poinsett Counties; 

Lonoke and Jefferson Counties; and Desha, Drew, Chicot, 

and Ashley Counties. Three areas are predominated by rises 

in measured water levels—Jackson and northern Woodruff 

Counties; east of Crowleys Ridge in Crittenden, Cross, St. 

Francis, and Lee Counties; and White, Prairie, Monroe, 

Arkansas, and Phillips Counties.

Long-Term Hydrographs

Long-term water-level changes were evaluated using 

hydrographs from 319 wells in the alluvial aquifer for the 

period from 1988 to 2012. The minimum 25-year period 

is used to show long-term trends not dominated by shortterm variations in climate and localized pumping rates on 

water levels in a single well. Linear regression was used to 

calculate the trend in water-level change for each well for 

this period. The slope of the trend line represents the annual 

rise or decline in water level during the 25-year period. 

Negative values denote a decline in water level and positive 

values indicate a rise. The hydrographs were grouped by 

county. The number of wells, the range of values for the 

annual rise or decline in water level, the mean, the median, 

and the correlation coefficient (R2) for each county are 

listed in table 1. The mean county annual rises and declines 

in water level for the entire study area were -0.45 feet per 

year (ft/yr) with a range from -2.08 to 0.84 ft/yr. Selected 

hydrographs are shown in figure 4 (wells A–FF, pl. 1). 

Long-term water-level changes varied substantially 

across the study area. The mean rise or decline for 

Independence and White Counties have an annual rise 

from 1988 to 2012. The rise in Independence County was 

determined from the data of one well. Mean county annual 

declines between -0.50 ft/yr and 0.00 ft/yr occurred in 

Arkansas, Ashley, Chicot, Clay, Crittenden, Drew, Greene, 

Jefferson, Mississippi, Monroe, Phillips, Prairie, Pulaski, 

Randolph, and Woodruff Counties. The mean county annual 

declines between -1.00 ft/yr and -0.50 ft/yr occurred in 

Craighead, Cross, Desha, Jackson, Lee, Lincoln, Lonoke, 

Poinsett, and St. Francis Counties. 

The analysis of long-term water-level changes (1988–

2012) in Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie Counties shows 

the elongation of the depression in these three counties. 

Arkansas County has two different rates of annual decline for 

the two hydrographs shown. Well 04S03W32BCB1 (fig. 4A, 

pl. 1) shows an annual water-level decline of about 0.97 ft/yr 

since 1988. Well 04S03W32BCB1 is located near the center 

of the depression in Arkansas County and generally shows a 

water-level decline during the 76-year period of record. Well 

07S04W01DDD1 (fig. 4B, pl. 1) has an annual water-level 

rise of about 0.26 ft/yr since 1988. Well 07S04W01DDD1 

is located near the Arkansas River and shows a relatively 

stable water level to about 1990 with larger fluctuations 

from 1990 to present. The water level in the Arkansas River 
8

Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

is maintained by a lock and dam system and can be a source 

of water for the alluvial aquifer in southern and western 

Arkansas County. Well 04N05W07CDC1 (fig. 4Z, pl. 1) is 

located in the central part of Prairie County and has an annual 

decline of about 0.51 ft/yr since 1988. Well 02S07W10CCB1 

(fig. 4T, pl. 1), near the western edge of the depression in 

Lonoke County, shows an annual water-level decline of about 

0.69 ft/yr since 1988 and shows a nearly continuous waterlevel decline during the 55 years of record. These rates of 

water-level change indicate that this depression has expanded 

in an elongated direction north and west into Lonoke and 

Prairie Counties from 1988 to 2012. Water-level declines in 

neighboring counties are further evidence of the expansion 

of the depression centered in Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie 

Counties. In Jefferson County, well 03S08W24BBC1 (fig. 4P, 

pl. 1) has an annual water-level decline of about 0.58 ft/yr 

during the period from 1988 to 2012. Long-term declines in 

this outlying well indicate that the depression is expanding. 

In Craighead, Cross, Lee, Poinsett, and St. Francis 

Counties water levels are declining at a greater rate west 

of Crowleys Ridge than east of Crowleys Ridge. Two 

hydrographs are shown in each of Craighead, Cross, Lee, 

Poinsett, and St. Francis Counties, one on the west side of 

Crowleys Ridge and one on the east side of Crowleys Ridge. 

The hydrographs west of Crowleys Ridge have annual waterlevel declines from -0.91 to -1.24 ft/yr during the period from 

1988 to 2012. The hydrographs east of Crowleys Ridge have 

annual water-level declines from -0.07 to -0.40 ft/yr during 

the period from 1988 to 2012. The mean county annual 

declines for these counties are from -0.55 to -0.87 ft/yr during 

the period from 1988 to 2012. The annual declines for these 

counties indicate the two different conditions in each county.

Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

Water-Quality Conditions

Water samples collected in the summer of 2012 

from142 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer were 

measured onsite for specific conductance, temperature, and pH 

(app. 3). Samples were collected from 94 wells for dissolved 

chloride analysis at the USGS National Water Quality 

Laboratory (app. 3). 

Specific conductance and dissolved chloride have 

a large range of values and the temperature and pH have 

typical ranges for groundwater quality. Specific conductance 

ranged from 91 microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees 

Celsius (μS/cm at 25 °C) in Drew County to 984 μS/cm at 

25 °C in Monroe County. The mean specific conductance was 

547 μS/cm at 25 °C. The majority of the values are in the 

401–600 μS/cm at 25 °C range (fig. 5). Dissolved chloride 

concentrations ranged from 3.34 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in 

Randolph County to 182 mg/L in Lincoln County. The mean 

chloride concentration was 27.6 mg/L. Temperature ranged 

from 18.1 °C in Crittenden County to 22.4 °C in Prairie 

County. The mean temperature was 20.1 °C. The pH ranged 

from 6.2 in Drew County to 8.3 in Randolph County and had a 

median of 7.3. 

Specific-conductance data indicate regionally diverse 

zones of mineralized water across the study area. Generally, 

the occurrences of higher specific conductance in the alluvial 

aquifer are associated with the movement of water containing 

high concentrations of dissolved solids from sources at depth 

(Bryant and others, 1985). Water with higher concentrations 

of dissolved solids may have moved upward where the 

confining units are thin or absent, along faults, or through 

unplugged or deteriorated casings of abandoned oil 

and gas test wells (Fitzpatrick, 1985). Morris and Bush 

(1986) cite two possible sources of high dissolved-solids 

concentrations—a zone of groundwater stagnation present in 

the alluvial aquifer caused by localized restricted horizontal 

or vertical flow and upward movement of water with higher 

dissolved-solids concentration from deeper formations in 

response to pumping. The variability in specific conductance 

in Lincoln County is explained by the local geomorphology. 

The specific conductance in Lincoln County ranges from 

278 μS/cm to 944 μS/cm. Channel deposits have high recharge 

and permeability, resulting in lower specific conductance. 

Backswamp deposits have low recharge and permeability 

and higher evapotranspiration, resulting in higher specific 

conductance (Kresse and Clark, 2008).

Summary

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain encompasses an area 

of approximately 32,000 square miles and includes parts of 

Arkansas and nearby States. Approximately 54 percent of 

the Mississippi Alluvial Plain covers the eastern one-third 

of Arkansas. The Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer 

underlies the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in eastern Arkansas. 

Within Arkansas, the alluvial aquifer extends from the 

Missouri State line south to the Louisiana State line, and from 

the Mississippi River west to the Fall Line and the Monticello 

Ridge. During the spring of 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS), in cooperation with the Arkansas Natural Resources 

Commission (ANRC) and the Arkansas Geological Survey, 

measured water levels in 342 wells completed in the alluvial 

aquifer in eastern Arkansas. The ANRC measured water 

levels in 11 wells and the U.S. Department of AgricultureNatural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) measured 

water levels in 239 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer. 

Information in this report included (1) groundwater levels 

for spring 2012, (2) a potentiometric-surface map, (3) a 

water-level difference map comparing water levels from 

2008 to 2012, (4) selected water-level hydrographs, and (5) a 

groundwater water-quality data table for the summer of 2012.

The alluvial aquifer comprises alluvial and terrace 

deposits of Quaternary age. Lithologically, the Quaternary 

alluvial and terrace deposits are similar, consisting of 

unconsolidated sediments that grade from gravel and coarse 

sand in the lower sections to silt and clay in the upper sections. 

The coarse sediments contained in the lower sections of the 

alluvial and terrace deposits are capable of sustaining highyielding wells. Finer sediments in the upper sections of the 

alluvial and terrace deposits form a confining unit above much 

of the aquifer. Channel fill, point bar, and backswamp deposits 

associated with present or former channels of large rivers have 

produced abrupt changes in lithology and result in large spatial 

variations in the hydraulic properties of the aquifer. 

The alluvial aquifer is increasingly relied upon for 

agriculture and aquaculture in eastern Arkansas. Water 

withdrawals from the alluvial aquifer have increased from 

about 1,063 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) in 1965 to about 

7,592 Mgal/d in 2010, an increase of about 614 percent. 

Withdrawals have more than doubled between 1985 and 2010, 

an increase of about 115 percent since 1985. 

 The regional direction of groundwater flow is generally 

to the south and east except where flow is affected by 

groundwater withdrawals. East of Crowleys Ridge, water 

flows from north to south along Crowleys Ridge and northeast 

to southwest along the Mississippi River. West of Crowleys 

Ridge, water flows from northeast to southwest along 

Crowleys Ridge from Clay County to Craighead County. 

From Craighead County to Monroe County, a depression 

alters groundwater flow from all directions. A depression in 

Arkansas, Lonoke, and Prairie Counties alters groundwater 

flow from all directions. South of the Arkansas River, the 

flow is towards the southeast, except near the depressions in 

Lincoln and Desha Counties and Desha and Chicot Counties 

where flow is towards the depression. 

The potentiometric-surface map is based on waterlevel measurements (342 by USGS, 11 by ANRC, and 239 

by NRCS) made in 592 wells during the spring of 2012. 

In 2012, the lowest water-level altitude was 73 feet (ft) in 

Arkansas County. The highest water-level altitude was 288 ft 

in northeastern Clay County on the western side of Crowleys 

Ridge. 

The potentiomentric-surface map shows eight 

depressions, two large depressions and six small depressions. 

One large depression begins in southeastern Arkansas County, 

at the Arkansas and Desha County line, extends north into 

Prairie County, west into Lonoke County and east into the 

westernmost part of Monroe County. The low water-level 

altitude measurement in the depression area is 73 ft. The area 

in Lonoke and Prairie Counties in the northwestern half of the 

depression has a low water-level altitude measurement of 90 ft 

and expands into the northern third of Prairie County. 

The potentiometric-surface map shows a general northsouth depression with the southern end in central Monroe 

County extending through western Lee, St. Francis, Cross, 

Poinsett, and Craighead Counties and eastern Woodruff 

and Jackson Counties. There are two deeper areas in this 

depression, one at the Monroe and Lee County line, with a low 

water-level altitude measurement of 123 ft, and the second in 

Poinsett County, with a low water-level altitude measurement 

of 113 ft. 

Six small depressions are shown in the potentiometricsurface map— in northern Ashley County, in southern Desha 

and northern Chicot Counties, in eastern Lincoln and western 

Chicot Counties, at the Arkansas and Desha County line, 

in northern Phillips County, and in southeastern Greene 

County. Continued monitoring of the potentiometric surface 

will determine if these small depressions are the result of 

short-term variations or long-term changes in the hydrologic 

conditions in the alluvial aquifer.

A map showing the difference in water level was 

constructed using 541 differences in water levels measured 

during 2008 and 2012. The difference in measured water 

levels from 2008 to 2012 ranged from -27.4 ft in Lonoke 

County to 18.7 ft in Prairie County, with a mean of -1.0 ft. 

Four areas were predominated by declines—west of Crowleys 

Ridge from Greene County south to Lee County, including 

Lawrence and southern Woodruff Counties; east of Crowleys 

Ridge from Clay County south to Poinsett and Mississippi 

Counties; Lonoke and Jefferson Counties; and Ashley, Chicot, 

Desha, and Drew Counties. Three areas are predominated 

by rises in measured water levels—Jackson and northern 

Woodruff Counties; east of Crowleys Ridge in Crittenden, 

Cross, St. Francis, and Lee Counties; and White, Prairie, 

Monroe, Arkansas, and Phillips Counties.

Long-term water-level changes were evaluated using 

hydrographs from 319 wells in the alluvial aquifer for 
22

Water Levels and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer in Eastern Arkansas, 2012

the period from 1988 to 2012. The mean rise or decline 

for Independence and White Counties had an annual rise 

from 1988 to 2012. The rise in Independence County was 

determined from the data of one well. The mean county annual 

declines between -0.50 feet per year (ft/yr) and 0.00 ft/yr 

occurred in Arkansas, Ashley, Chicot, Clay, Crittenden, Drew, 

Greene, Jefferson, Mississippi, Monroe, Phillips, Prairie, 

Pulaski, Randolph, and Woodruff Counties. The mean county 

annual declines between -1.00 ft/yr and -0.50 ft/yr occurred 

in Craighead, Cross, Desha, Jackson, Lee, Lincoln, Lonoke, 

Poinsett, and St. Francis Counties. The mean county annual 

rises and declines in water level for the entire study area were 

-0.45 ft/yr with a range from -2.08 to 0.84 ft/yr. 

Arkansas County has two different rates of annual decline 

for the two hydrographs shown. Well 04S03W32BCB1 shows 

an annual water-level decline of about 0.97 ft/yr since 1988. 

Well 07S04W01DDD1 has an annual water-level rise of about 

0.26 ft/yr since 1988. 

In Craighead, Cross, Lee, Poinsett, and St. Francis 

Counties, water levels are declining at a greater rate west 

of Crowleys Ridge than water levels are declining east of 

Crowleys Ridge. Two hydrographs are shown in each of 

Craighead, Cross, Lee, Poinsett, and St. Francis Counties, one 

on the west side of Crowleys Ridge and one on the east side 

of Crowleys Ridge. The hydrographs west of Crowleys Ridge 

have annual water-level declines from -0.91 to -1.24 ft/yr 

during the period from 1988 to 2012. The hydrographs east of 

Crowleys Ridge have annual water-level declines from -0.07 

to -0.40 ft/yr during the period from 1988 to 2012. The mean 

county annual decline for these counties was from -0.55 to 

-0.87 ft/yr during the period from 1988 to 2012. 

Water samples were collected in the summer of 2012 

from142 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer and measured 

onsite for specific conductance, temperature, and pH. 

Samples were collected from 94 wells for dissolved chloride 

analysis at the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory. 

Specific conductance ranged from 91 microsiemens per 

centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (μS/cm at 25 °C) in Drew 

County to 984 μS/cm at 25 °C in Monroe County. The mean 

specific conductance was 547 μS/cm at 25 °C. Dissolved 

chloride concentrations ranged from 3.34 milligrams per liter 

(mg/L) in Randolph County to 182 mg/L in Lincoln County. 

The mean chloride concentration was 27.6 mg/L.Temperature 

ranged from 18.1 degrees Celsius (°C) in Crittenden County to 

22.4 °C in Prairie County. The mean temperature was 22.1 °C. 

The pH ranged from 6.2 in Drew County to 8.3 in Randolph 

County and had a median of 7.3.
