This document summarizes a study analyzing historical agroenvironmental conditions in the Lower Mississippi River Basin. The study examined long-term trends in natural resources and the environmental impacts of agriculture using data on land use, precipitation, hydrology, and water quality. The researchers found evidence that intensive groundwater irrigation in agricultural watersheds has altered surface water flows, reducing base flows and increasing low flow events, compared to non-agricultural watersheds. While more analysis is needed, the results suggest tradeoffs between agricultural productivity and hydrologic alteration may need to be considered for sustainable management in the region.
