Geochemistry and ground-water movement in northwestern Minnesota Geochemistry and ground-water movement in northwestern Minnesota

The relation between water quality and water movement within the ground-water reservoir may be better understood if studies of flow systems are used in conjunction with hydrochemical methods. Within small watersheds, local, intermediate, and regional flow systems may develop, depending upon the shape, the relief, and the thickness of the ground-water reservoir. Lateral and vertical...

Comparison of three methods of sampling trout blood for measurements of hematocrit Comparison of three methods of sampling trout blood for measurements of hematocrit

Trout blood is frequently collected for hematocrit measurements by excising the caudal fin (Snieszko, 1960), but this technique is impractical if valuable fish are to be sampled or if repeated observations are desired. Schiffman (1959) and Snieszko (1960) collected blood from the dorsal aorta and the heart, but these methods are relatively slow and require the preparation of needles and...

Water resources of the Two Rivers Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Two Rivers Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota

The Two Rivers watershed includes two physiographic areas a lake plain and a till plain – within its 1,232 square miles. It lies in parts of Kittson and Roseau counties and includes the drainage basins of the Two Rivers and Joe River. The flat lake plain which extends 15 to 20 miles east of the Red River of the North is extensively cultivated for small grains and sugar beets. The gently...

Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan

Large quantities of water are needed in the beneficiation and pelletizing processes by which the ore mined from low-grade iron-formations is upgraded into an excellent raw material for the iron and steel industry. Extensive reserves of low-grade iron-formation available for development herald an intensification of the demands upon the area's water supplies. This study was designed to...

Water resources of the Roseau River Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Roseau River Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota

The drainage area of the Roseau River consists of 2,060 square miles above its confluence with the Red River of the North. About 1,150 square miles lie in the United States and 910 square miles in Canada. This report deals only with that portion within the United States, except for a detailed analysis of low flow characteristics of tributary streams. Most of the area is within Roseau...
