Hydrogeology of a drift-filled bedrock valley near Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota Hydrogeology of a drift-filled bedrock valley near Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota
The bedrock surface of east-central Minnesota is dissected by an intricate network of valleys. Outside the bedrock valley at site B, 3 mi (4. 8 km) from site A, 100 ft (30 m) of drift overlies the bedrock surface. Observation wells were installed at the two sites to determine the vertical ground-water movement between the various aquifer units and the lateral movement between the two...

Removal of toxic chemicals from water with activated carbon Removal of toxic chemicals from water with activated carbon
Activated carbon was effective in removing fish toxicants and anesthetics from water solutions. Its capacity to adsorb 3‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitrophenol (TFM), antimycin, Noxfish(R) (5% rotenone), Dibrom(R), juglone, MS‐222, and benzocaine ranged from 0.1 to 64 mg per gram of carbon. The adsorptive capacity (end point considered as a significant discharge) of activated carbon for removal...

Buried aquifers in the Brooten-Belgrade and Lake Emily areas, west-central Minnesota--Factors related to developing water for irrigation Buried aquifers in the Brooten-Belgrade and Lake Emily areas, west-central Minnesota--Factors related to developing water for irrigation
Irrigation has given a substantial boost to the economy in the Brooten-Belgrade and Lake Emily areas of Minnesota. The surficial outwash aquifer is capable of yielding sufficient quantities of water for irrigation over half of its area; the remaining part may be supplied by deep aquifers. Buried glacial outwash and Cretaceous sand aquifers, as thick as 50 feet occur to depths of 300 feet...

Recycling ground water in Waushara County, Wisconsin : resource management for cold-water fish hatcheries Recycling ground water in Waushara County, Wisconsin : resource management for cold-water fish hatcheries
Recycling water within the local ground-water system can increase the quantity of water available for use, control or avoid environmental pollution, and control temperature of the water supply. Pumped ground water supplied a fish-rearing facility for 15 months, and the waste water recharged the local ground-water system through an infiltration pond. Eighty-three percent of the recharged...

Regional flood limits of lower Yahara River, Lake Waubesa and south, in Dane County, Wisconsin Regional flood limits of lower Yahara River, Lake Waubesa and south, in Dane County, Wisconsin
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the extent , depth, and frequency of flooding of the lower Yahara River in Dane County, Wis. The report contains discharge-frequency data for flood peaks, flood–frequency profiles, and the regional flood– (100-year flood) inundation limits for the lower Yahara River. The study reach is in southern Dane County extending from part of...

Ground water in Minnesota Ground water in Minnesota
Ground water is the major source of water supply in Minnesota. The quantity, quality, and availability vary greatly throughout the State. This study describes the State's ground-water resources as found in each of seven major drainage basins. Water is obtained from Quaternary glacial deposits and bedrock aquifers. Most supplies are from the drift except in the southeastern and extreme...
