Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Fond du Lac County, Wis., are sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age and dolomite of Silurian age. Other aquifers include dolomite of Ordovician age and sand. and gravel of Quaternary age. Crystalline rocks of Precambrian age, which underlie all the water-bearing formations, form a practically impermeable basement complex and yield little...

Stream composition of the conterminous United States Stream composition of the conterminous United States
This atlas is comprise of three maps of the conterminous United States which show separately the prevalent dissolved-solids concentrations, prevalent chemical type, and average sediment concentration of rivers. The river-composition data shown on plates 1-3 provide a starting point for evaluating our surface-water resources on a nationwide scale, indicate regions where acceptable...

An application of thermometry to the study of ground water An application of thermometry to the study of ground water
Except for studies of temperature data related to ground-water developments that induce infiltration from streams, little attention has been given to the possibility of using temperature fluctuations as a tool for studying the elements of the hydrologic cycle involving ground water. The temperature of the water discharged from large installations that induce river infiltration through...

Use of water-well data in interpreting occurrence of aquifers in northeastern Lyon County, Minnesota Use of water-well data in interpreting occurrence of aquifers in northeastern Lyon County, Minnesota
In northeastern Lyon County the areal distribution of aquifers of Cretaceous age determined from well-bottom altitudes suggests a series of interbedded sandstones striking northwestward and overlapping one another to the northeast. Probably the numerous thin sandstone aquifers in the area were deposited near the flanks of a Precambrian granite “high” area by a transgressing Late...
