Water resources of the Redwood River watershed, southwestern Minnesota
The Redwood River watershed contains 739 square miles underlain by glacial drift and sedimentary and crystalline rocks.
The land surface slopes gently northeastward and eastward from altitudes greater than 1900 feet at the southwestern edge to less than 850 feet at the mouth of the Redwood River in the east. The area has slight local relief shaped by continental glaciation. The Redwood River and i

Water resources of the Wild Rice River watershed, northwestern Minnesota
The Wild Rice watershed includes two general physiographic areas- the glacial Lake Agassiz Plain and a glacial moraine.
The lake plain is extremely flat in the western part, sloping only a few feet per mile, but in the eastern part the plain is traversed in a north-south direction by long, narrow beach ridges up to 20 feet high. The moraine is an area of hills and depressions. The local relief is

Compilation of data for Michigan lakes
Michigan's more than 11,000 lakes are a valuable resource. Primarily, they are used for recreation but many have potential for industrial use and for water supply. Lakes have water surfaces ·that expand and decrease in area, and levels that rise and fall. Records of lakes levels show that lake stages change, have seasonal trends, and may fluctuate several feet each year. Often; these changes affec

The effect of anesthetization and urinary bladder catheterization on renal function of rainbow trout
1. Rainbow trout were anesthetized with MS-222 (Sandoz) or methylpentynol and catheterized. Urine was collected at selected intervals up to 48 hr. 2. Effects of MS-222 anesthesia on urine flow and composition were isolated from the stress of catheterization by re-anesthetizing the fish 18 to 20 hr post catheterization. 3. Urine output patterns were similar following MS-222 or methylpentynol anest

Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1969
The purpose of this report is to make available the records of ground-water levels in the principal aquifers of the State through 1969 and to compile other related data, such as records of groundwater pumpage, data on municipal, public and industrial water-supply facilities, and the effects of precipitation on ground-water levels. Records of water levels in areas of heavy pumpage, and in areas whe

A proposed streamflow-data program for Wisconsin
An evaluation of the streamflow data available in Wisconsin was made to provide guidelines for planning future programs. The basic steps in the evaluation procedure were (1) definition of the long-term goals of the streamflow data program, (2) examination and analysis of all available data to determine which goals have already been met, and (3) consideration of alternate programs and techniques to
