“…Situated in the northern portion of the MAP from approximately Vicksburg, Mississippi then north through the valley is underlain by the Mississippi River Valley Aquifer (MRVA). This aquifer is one of the heaviest pumped groundwater systems in the United States [ 21 ] and is connected to surface-water features in some regions and unconnected in others at least during part of the year, given spring 2020 groundwater and surface water measurements [ 8 , 22 , 23 ]. The alluvial aquifer is composed of Quaternary-age sands and gravel deposited after Wisconsin glaciation, making it an ideal surficial aquifer with many high-yield wells [ 18 , 20 ].…”

“…Although the MRVA is geologically a confined aquifer, it behaves as an unconfined aquifer regarding replenishing its water supply where surface water may or may not be hydrologically connected to the aquifer. This means that it is replenished directly from surface water (rivers and precipitation infiltration) with different recharge rate which depends on the precipitation characteristics, topography, vegetation coverage, depth to groundwater, and soil conditions [ 22 ]. In some areas of the aquifer, it exhibits confined or semiconfined conditions at least during part of the year.…”

“…Consequently, an all-encompassing approach to water management is required to slow and reverse aquifer depletion. On the water supply side, artificial aquifer recharge projects [9,10] and the use of alternative surface and recycled water sources [11,12] are considered key components to the solution. On the water demand side, agricultural practices that increase water-use efficiency and reduce overall water use without significant reductions in yields or farmer profits have been proposed to slow the rates of depletion [13][14][15][16].…”
