Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Tennessee region

Summary of hydrology of the regional aquifer systems, Gulf Coastal Plain, south-central United States

“…The regional study of the Mississippi embayment (Gushing and others, 1970;others, 1965, 1968;Hosman and others, 1968) and the multi-State study of the Claiborne Group (Payne, 1968(Payne, , 1970(Payne, , 1972(Payne, , 1975 were comprehensive and largely descriptive, and the summary appraisals of the groundwater resource in major river basins (West and Broadhurst, 1975;Baker and Wall, 1976;Bedinger and Sniegocki, 1976;Zurawski, 1978;Cederstrom and others, 1979;Terry and others, 1979) were qualitative evaluations of the availability of the resource and discussions of various management strategies rather than a quantitative cause-and-effect analysis. All of the studies cited above, plus many more that are not cited, provide a large body of data and interpretive material.…”

“…Several hundred wells were used to withdraw ground water for the irrigation 1953195819731978. Water levels in southwestern Louisiana, 1938-90. of rice in southwestern Louisiana by 1903 (Fuller, 1904), but no estimate was made of the quantity withdrawn.…”

Geohydrology and ground-water availability in western Marshall and eastern Morgan counties, Alabama

“…The actual amount of direct runoff in the study area has not been determined; however, it has been estimated to be about 10 inches for the Tennessee Valley as a whole. This amount is probably representative for many streams in the study area (Zurawski, 1978). The remaining runoff is discharged to streams from aquifers and will be referred to as base flow.…”
