In March 2008, a vigorous, slow moving low pressure system moved out of Texas and into Arkansas inundating the area with over a foot of rain falling in some areas of Arkansas and Missouri. [15] Heavy rainfall rates caused the river to over flow its banks with an observed maximum depth of 22.29 feet (6.79 m).

Water flow in the Arkansas River (as measured in central Kansas) has dropped from approximately 248 cubic feet per second (7.0 m 3 /s) average from 1944–1963 to 53 cubic feet per second (1.5 m 3 /s) average from 1984–2003, largely because of the pumping of groundwater for irrigation in eastern Colorado and western Kansas.

“Right now what we’re seeing is a seasonal decline. Water levels are dropping as water is moving from the aquifer towards pumping centers, towards areas where a lot of water is being pumped ...
Some regions of Texas have already run out of water — and the rest face a looming crisis, the state’s agriculture commissioner said on Sunday. “We lose about a farm a week in Texas, but it ...
These cavities form an underground river that ultimately emerges on the surface at the town of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. The emerging water forms a 10-acre spring pool that drains over a high stone dam. The spring generates a harmonic mean flow of about 9 m³/s (322 cubic feet per second). The water emerges at a constant 14 °C (58 °F).
An artesian spring is created when the pressure for the groundwater becomes greater than the pressure from the atmosphere. In this case the water is pushed straight up out of the ground. [7] Wonky holes are freshwater submarine exit points for coral and sediment-covered, sediment-filled old river channels. [8]
