Hydrology of the Nevin Wetland near Madison, Wisconsin Hydrology of the Nevin Wetland near Madison, Wisconsin

The 120-acre Nevin wetland at the south edge of Madison, Wis., is a discharge area of the local ground-water system. A hydrologic unit composed of drift and the upper part of an underlying sandstone sequence provides ground-water inflow. Ground water enters as springflow and as leakage upward through the organic wetland soils. The average annual water budget for the wetland was based on...

Ten-year low mean monthly discharge determinations for ungaged streams near waste-stabilization ponds in Wisconsin Ten-year low mean monthly discharge determinations for ungaged streams near waste-stabilization ponds in Wisconsin

Communities that use fill-and-draw waste-water treatment lagoons or waste-stabilization ponds are required to discharge during the spring and fall of the year at a rate that does not exceed the assimilative capacity of the receiving stream. The 10-year low mean monthly discharge (MMQ10) for October, November, April, and May for the receiving stream has been used to establish the...

Physiography and surficial geology of the copper-nickel study region, northeastern Minnesota Physiography and surficial geology of the copper-nickel study region, northeastern Minnesota

The Copper-Nickel study region lies in the Superior Upland physiographic province and is located approximately 60 miles north of Duluth and 100 miles southeast of International Falls, Minnesota. It straddles the Laurentian Divide, which separates Hudson Bay and Lake Superior drainage. The topography exhibits a southwesterly trending lineation that parallels the strike of southeastward...

Water-table map of Racine County, Wisconsin Water-table map of Racine County, Wisconsin

A map (scale 1:100,000) of the water table in Racine County in southeastern Wisconsin was prepared using water levels from more than 250 wells. The work was done as a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The map shows the altitude of the water table in increments of 20 feet, with supplemental 10-foot contours...

Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite

Door County is in northeastern Wisconsin and is an area of 491 square miles. The county forms the main body of the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The land surface is an upland ridge controlled by the underlying bedrock. The west edge of the ridge forms an escarpment facing Green Bay. Silurian dolomite is the upper bedrock unit throughout most of the county and is the most...
