Water-table map of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Water-table map of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
A map (scale 1:100,000) of the water table in Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin was prepared using water levels from more than 135 wells. The work was done as a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The map shows the altitude of the water table in increments of 20 feet. The altitude ranges from less...

Paleohydrologic phenomena recorded by lake sediments Paleohydrologic phenomena recorded by lake sediments
Hydrologic phenomena are dynamic, so their understanding and prediction are difficult and challenging. Many are cyclic, ranging from diurnal, seasonal, and annual cycles to climatic fluctuations of many hundreds or thousands of years. Predicting the magnitude and recurrence intervals of long-term fluctuations of these phenomena is a primary concern of hydrologists. The best data upon...

Flowing wells in Michigan, 1974 Flowing wells in Michigan, 1974
Flowing wells yielding fresh water occur in both the glacial drift and the bedrock in Michigan. Most known flowing wells are in the Lower Peninsula because the greater population in that part of the State has led to more frequent drilling. A comparison of flowing-well areas in 1900 with those in 1970 shows a probable decline in head in the glacial drift and the Marshall and Saginaw...

Geology and water-supply potential of the Anoka Sand Plain aquifer, Minnesota Geology and water-supply potential of the Anoka Sand Plain aquifer, Minnesota
Intensified land development on the Anoka sand plain necessitates a better understanding of the hydrogeology of the surficial outwash deposits of the area. The Anoka sand-plain aquifer consists of outwash attributable to two different ice lobes. Predominant grain size of the upper outwash decreases and sorting coefficient increases from west to east. Till or lake deposits underlie most...

Ground-water appraisal of the Pineland Sands area, central Minnesota Ground-water appraisal of the Pineland Sands area, central Minnesota
The Pineland Sands area consists of 770 square miles of surficial glacial outwash, which is undergoing increasing ground-water development for irrigation. The aquifer material is commonly very fine sand to fine gravel, and grain size generally increases from south to north. Thickness, transmissivity, and theoretical well yields are highest in the northern part. In places, saturated...
