Occurrence of ground waters of low hardness and of high chloride content in Lyon County, Minnesota Occurrence of ground waters of low hardness and of high chloride content in Lyon County, Minnesota
The ground water in Lyon County and elsewhere in southwestern Minnesota is generally hard and low in chloride. It is the purpose of this report to describe briefly the occurrence in Lyon County of waters of low hardness and of high chloride content. The waters are found largely in Cretaceous sandstone. The data were collected in conjunction with a countywide study of the geology and...

Geology of the Lake Mary quadrangle, Iron County, Michigan Geology of the Lake Mary quadrangle, Iron County, Michigan
The Lake Mary quadrangle is in eastern Iron County, in the west part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The quadrangle is underlain by Lower and Middle Precambrian rocks, formerly designated Archean and Algonkian rocks, and is extensively covered by Pleistocene glacial deposits. A few Upper Precambrian (Keweenawan) diabase dikes and two remnants of sandstone and dolomite of early...

The reclamation of Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park The reclamation of Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
A complete program of stream reclamation was developed and applied on Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A salt-resistivity technique was used to estimate the dilution and velocity of a toxicant in running water. Streamside toxicity trials on resident fishes established minimal, effective concentrations of the rotenone material. The successful removals of...

The electrical resistivity meter in fishery investigations The electrical resistivity meter in fishery investigations
A portable resistivity (or conductivity) meter is easily used in fishery investigations to obtain rapid and precise measurements of the electrical resistance (or conductance) of waters. These measurements can be used to estimate the total dissolved solids content of waters, to facilitate the selection of appropriate gear for efficient electrofishing, and to determine the velocity...

Operator's manual on the visual-accumulation tube method for sedimentation analysis of sands Operator's manual on the visual-accumulation tube method for sedimentation analysis of sands
The visual-tube method for sedimentation analysis of sands was developed as a part of the general investigation titled "A Study of Methods Used in Measurement and Analysis of Sediment Loads in Streams." The method is one answer to the need for a simple, rapid, and inexpensive means of determining the sedimentation-size frequency analysis of sand samples containing particles less than one

Geology and ground-water resources of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Geology and ground-water resources of Outagamie County, Wisconsin
Outagamie County is in east-central Wisconsin. It has no serious groundwater problem at present, but the county is important as a recharge area for the principal aquifers supplying water to Brown County and industrial Green Bay to the east. The county is covered by glacial drift and lake deposits of the Wisconsin stage of glaciation. In the northwestern quarter of the county these...
