The geochemistry of the Fox Hills-Basal Hell Creek Aquifer in southwestern North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota The geochemistry of the Fox Hills-Basal Hell Creek Aquifer in southwestern North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota
The Late Cretaceous Fox Hills Formation and the basal portion of the overlying Hell Creek Formation constitute an important aquifer in the Fort Union coal region. Throughout most of southwestern North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota the aquifer is at depths ranging from 1000 to 2000 ft, except for exposures along the Cedar Creek anticline. Water flows in the aquifer from southwest...

Geohydrology of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, South Dakota Geohydrology of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, South Dakota
Effective improvement of economic and social conditions of Indians living on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation has been hampered by lack of adequate and reliable information about the quantity and quality of water supplies available for development. Compounding the problem is the recent fillinf of Oahe Reservoir, which flooded about 105,00 acres of Indian land, and the consequent...

Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Missouri basin region Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Missouri basin region
The Missouri Basin Region lies in the north-central part of the United States and southern Canada. It includes parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada; parts of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri, and all of Nebraska in the United States. The region includes about one-sixth of the contiguous United States and requires large...

Numerical simulation of steady state three-dimensional groundwater flow near lakes Numerical simulation of steady state three-dimensional groundwater flow near lakes
Numerical simulation of three-dimensional groundwater flow near lakes shows that the continuity of the boundary encompassing the local groundwater flow system associated with a lake is the key to understanding the interaction of a lake with the groundwater system. The continuity of the boundary can be determined by the presence of a stagnation zone coinciding with the side of the lake...

Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Souris-Red-Rainy region Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Souris-Red-Rainy region
A broad-perspective analysis of the ground-water resources and present and possible future water development and management in the Souris-Red-Rainy Region is presented. The region includes the basins of the Souris River within Montana and North Dakota; the Red River of the North in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota; and the Rainy River within Minnesota. The region includes 59,645...

Ground-water levels in the United States, 1972-74, north-central states Ground-water levels in the United States, 1972-74, north-central states
Publication of ground-water level data for the United States in water-supply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, a single water-supply paper for each year covering the entire nation was issued (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886). Since then water-supply papers have been issued covering 6 separate sections of the United States as shown...

Ground-water resources of Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota Ground-water resources of Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
Griggs and Steele Counties, in east-central North Dakota, are underlain by bedrock of Ordovician, Jurassic, and Cretaceous ages. The Fall River and Lakota Formations of Cretaceous age form the Dakota aquifer. The fractured upper part of the Pierre Formation (shale), also of Cretaceous age, forms another bedrock aquifer. The Dakota aquifer, which consists mainly of interbedded shale and...
