Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota
The Buffalo River watershed includes two general physiographic areas – a glacial lake plain and an glacial moraine. The lake plain, which was formed by Glacial lake Agassiz more than 9,000 years ago, is extremely flat – sloping only a few feet per mile westward near the Red River of the North. The moraine is largely an area of gently rolling hills, but in the eastern “tail” of the...

Water for the cities - The outlook Water for the cities - The outlook
Except perhaps for the arid Southwest, water resources are generally sufficient to meet the needs of cities for the foreseeable future. Cities will continue to expand and additional rural areas will be converted to urban and suburban complexes. Demands for urban water will continue to rise and this will place a heavy strain on existing systems. Cities have always faced water problems...

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
