Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota
The development of ground water for irrigation in northwestern Big Stone County has not kept up with development in other irrigable areas of the State. This is due, in part, to the absence of extensive surficial aquifers and the difficulty in locating buried aquifers. Test augering south of Beardsley outlined a small surficial aquifer that consists of outwash deposits of sand and gravel...

Hydrologic budget for Eagle Lake near Willmar, Minnesota Hydrologic budget for Eagle Lake near Willmar, Minnesota
Eagle Lake occupies 890 acres of a 9,000-acre watershed in central Minnesota. Because of its proximity to Willmar, many homes and summer cabins have been built around the lake. Presently (1978), the shore is more than 90 percent developed. One effect of this development is accelerated eutrophication, most commonly shown by algae blooms. An annual hydrologic budget for Eagle Lake was...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin, are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 12 gaging stations, flow duration at 10 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 23 low-flow partial-record stations and 137 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the upper Wisconsin River basin, Wisconsin Low-flow characteristics of streams in the upper Wisconsin River basin, Wisconsin
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the upper Wisconsin River basin are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 10 gaging stations, flow duration at 8 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 13 low-flow partial-record stations and 81 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites and at sites...

Ground water of coal deposits, Bay County, Michigan Ground water of coal deposits, Bay County, Michigan
A coal deposit in Bay County, Mich., typical of Pennsylvanian-coal deposits in the State, was studied to determine the degree to which hydrologic factors might affect future coal mining. The coal deposit, which averages about 0.5 meters in thickness, lies 50 meters below land surface. It is part of a multi-layered aquifer system that contains sandstone, shale, sand and gravel, and clay...
