Groundwater data from USGS Longitudinal data searches are not so good

'corp of engineers hydrological data missouri river'  Google search string...yields top ten entries any number of Congressional bills for one thing or other.

Then a USGS search for ground water data is pretty limited in the longitudinal sense in so far as instantaneous public access, going back at best to late -to - mid 90s.  Site disclaimer indicates that periodic recording of data were done so going back to 1965 with nothing mentioned before this date. 

Sort of amazing since one would wonder whether someone were in fact tracking much of this related information. 

Interest in this topic came up over a curiosity and interest driven by an argument.  Namely, concerning groundwater as pertaining to flooding in any given periodic context.  Corp of Engineers looked like a more promising look, but tired of the moment in the effort to filter through a lot of useless search results.
