As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) program of disseminating water
data to the public, the USGS maintains a distributed network of computers and
fileservers for the storage and retrieval of water data collected through its
activities at approximately 1.5 million sites around the country. This system is
called the National Water Information System (NWIS). Many types of data are
stored in this NWIS network, including: site information, time-series (flow,
stage, precipitation, chemical), peak flow, ground water, water quality.
The goal of Ground Water Data and Maps for Mississippi is to provide users of USGS
and state-collected water information with an easy to use, geographically-seamless interface to the
large volume of water data maintained by the separate agencies. Data is updated on a regularly scheduled basis;
Ground Water Data and Maps for Mississippi provides several output options: water-levels and water quality graphs,
data tables and site maps; tabular output in html and ASCII tab delimited files; lists of selected sites as
summaries with reselection for details.
Data are retrieved by category of data, such as ground water or water quality; and by geographic area. Further refinement is possible by selecting specific information and by defining the output desired.
