Water resources outlook for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area, Minnesota Water resources outlook for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area, Minnesota
The water resources were studied within an area whose natural ground-water flow is largely towards the center of the metropolitan area. This area coincides with the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone aquifer. Thus, the general geohydrology of the area bounded by the extent of the Hinckley Sandstone (about 6,000 square miles) as it relates to the hydrology of the Minneapolis-St. Paul...

Water resources of Wisconsin, Pecatonica-Sugar River basin Water resources of Wisconsin, Pecatonica-Sugar River basin
The purpose of this report is to describe the physical environment, availability, characteristics, distribution, movement, and quailty of water in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin. In addition, water use and water problems are summarized to give an understanding of man's management of water within the basin.

Water-supply development and management alternatives for Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan Water-supply development and management alternatives for Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan
The Tri-County region, consisting of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, is an area of 1,697 square miles in Michigan's Lower Peninsula and has as its hub the Lansing metropolitan area. The land surface ranges in altitude from about 700 to about 1,000 feet. The region receives an average of about 31 inches of precipitation each year. The population is nearing 400,000 and by 1990 will be...

The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin
The Pine and Popple Rivers, virtually unaltered by man, flow through a semiprimitive area of forests, lakes, and glacial hills. White-water streams, natural lakes, fish and animal life, and abundant vegetation contribute to the unique recreational and aesthetic characteristics of the area. Resource planning or development should recognize the interrelationships within the hydrologic...

Role of water in urban planning and management Role of water in urban planning and management
Concentrations of people in urban areas intensify water problems such as flooding and pollution, but these deleterious effects on water resources can be minimized or corrected by comprehensive planning and management. Such planning of the water resources of an urban area must be based on adequate hydrologic data. Through the use of a matrix, urban water problems can be evaluated and...

Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment discharge, and depth to bedrock...
