Ground-water flow related to streamflow and water quality Ground-water flow related to streamflow and water quality
A ground-water flow system in southwestern Minnesota illustrates water movement between geologic units and between the land surface and the subsurface. The flow patterns indicate numerous zones of ground-water recharge and discharge controlled by topography, varying thicknesses of geologic units, variation in permeabilities, and the configuration of the basement rock surface. Variations...

Analog simulation of ground-water development of the Saginaw Formation, Lansing metropolitan area, Michigan Analog simulation of ground-water development of the Saginaw Formation, Lansing metropolitan area, Michigan
This report was prepared as a part of the study of the water resources of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties being made for the Tri-County Planning Commission by the Water Resources Division of the U. S. Geological Survey. The report describes one phase of the investigation, that is, the projections of future time-withdrawal-drawdown relationships obtained from an electric analog model...

Water resources of Wisconsin, Fox-Wolf River basin Water resources of Wisconsin, Fox-Wolf River basin
PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purposes of this report are to (1) describe the geohydrology of the basin, (2) describe and relate the surface- and ground-water systems, (3) discuss existing and possible future water problems in the basin, and (4) to suggest means of possible solutions. The scope of the study was to interpret and relate streamflow, climatic, geologic, and ground-water information...

Turnover and urinary excretion of free and acetylated MS-222 rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Turnover and urinary excretion of free and acetylated MS-222 rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri
Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) anesthetized in 100 mg/liter of M.S. 222 at 12 C excreted the drug in free and acetylated forms via the urine during a 24-hr recovery period in freshwater. Of the M.S. 222 excreted, 77-96% was acetylated. Blood levels of free drug in anesthetized trout approximated 75% of the anesthetic concentration, but the amount of acetylated M.S. 222 was relatively

Water resources of the Lac Qui Parle River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Lac Qui Parle River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota
The Lac qui Parle River watershed is underlain by thick water-bearing sections of glacial drift and Cretaceous rocks. Drainage is from the Coteau des Praries, a plateau in the southwest, to the Lac qui Parle reservoir, about 800 feet lower than the plateau. The term "watershed" as used in this report refers to that part of the drainage basin (767 square miles) within Minnesota. The total...

Water resources of the Mississippi Headwaters Watershed, North-central Minnesota Water resources of the Mississippi Headwaters Watershed, North-central Minnesota
The Mississippi Headwaters watershed is a 7,608 square mile area in north-central Minnesota which includes all land drained by the Mississippi River above the Crow Wing River. From its source in Lake Itasca, 1,460 feet above mean sea level, the Mississippi River follows a semicircular 376 mile course to where it leaves the watershed at an altitude of 1,150 feet. The origin of the river...
