Water resources of the Rainy Lake watershed, northeastern Minnesota Water resources of the Rainy Lake watershed, northeastern Minnesota
The watershed includes 1,481 lakes that are 10 acres (4 square hectometers) or larger (Minnesota Division of Waters, Soils, and Minerals, 1968). The area of these lakes total about 435,000 acres (176,000 hm2) or 15 percent of the watershed. Most of the lakes are smaller than 250 acres (101 hm2) (graph); data pertaining to selected large lakes are given in the table below. More than 60...

Regional flood limits of lower Yahara River, Lake Waubesa and south, in Dane County, Wisconsin Regional flood limits of lower Yahara River, Lake Waubesa and south, in Dane County, Wisconsin
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the extent , depth, and frequency of flooding of the lower Yahara River in Dane County, Wis. The report contains discharge-frequency data for flood peaks, flood–frequency profiles, and the regional flood– (100-year flood) inundation limits for the lower Yahara River. The study reach is in southern Dane County extending from part of...

Remote sensing as an aid in water-resource studies in Minnesota Remote sensing as an aid in water-resource studies in Minnesota
Remote-sensing data were evaluated as to their usefulness in Minnesota water-resource studies. Data are available from several private as well as governmental agencies, the chief supplier being the EROS Data Center. Landsat-1 multispectral imagery was selected as the standard against which other types of imagery were compared. Landsat-1 imagery is available from July 1972, and Landsat-2...

Laboratory hydraulic calibration of the Helley-Smith bedload sediment sampler Laboratory hydraulic calibration of the Helley-Smith bedload sediment sampler
The Helley-Smith bedload sampler operates on a pressure-difference principle and consists of an expanding nozzle, nylon-mesh sample bag , and external components for structural integrity and stability under flow conditions. The Helley-Smith bedload sampler has a hydraulic efficiency, the ratio of the mean velocity in the sampler nozzle to the mean ambient velocity, of approximately 1.54...

Probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin Probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
The probable maximum flood was computed for Lake Chippewa, Wisconsin, and routed through the lake to determine maximum lake stage. The peak discharge of the probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa was computed to be about 75,000 cubic feet per second, primarily caused by rainfall on the lake. A secondary peak of about 41,000 cubic feet per second was due to streamflow entering Lake...

Finite difference model for aquifer simulation in two dimensions with results of numerical experiments Finite difference model for aquifer simulation in two dimensions with results of numerical experiments
The model will simulate ground-water flow in an artesian aquifer, a water-table aquifer, or a combined artesian and water-table aquifer. The aquifer may be heterogeneous and anisotropic and have irregular boundaries. The source term in the flow equation may include well discharge, constant recharge, leakage from confining beds in which the effects of storage are considered, and...
