Water resources of the Kettle River watershed, east-central Minnesota Water resources of the Kettle River watershed, east-central Minnesota
The topography of the Kettle River watershed is formed primarily by glacial deposits that mantle the bedrock. The glacial deposits are generally less than 100 feet thick. Bedrock consists of several types and occasionally crops out at land surface. Topography ranges from gently rolling to steeply undulating. About 1,060 square miles is drained by the Kettle River and its tributaries, and...

Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment discharge, and depth to bedrock...

Role of water in urban planning and management Role of water in urban planning and management
Concentrations of people in urban areas intensify water problems such as flooding and pollution, but these deleterious effects on water resources can be minimized or corrected by comprehensive planning and management. Such planning of the water resources of an urban area must be based on adequate hydrologic data. Through the use of a matrix, urban water problems can be evaluated and...

The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin
The Pine and Popple Rivers, virtually unaltered by man, flow through a semiprimitive area of forests, lakes, and glacial hills. White-water streams, natural lakes, fish and animal life, and abundant vegetation contribute to the unique recreational and aesthetic characteristics of the area. Resource planning or development should recognize the interrelationships within the hydrologic...

Toxicity of TFM (lampricide) to six early stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) Toxicity of TFM (lampricide) to six early stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
The lampricide TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) was tested against the following life stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): green eggs, eyed eggs, sac fry, swim-up fry, fry, and fingerlings in four water hardnesses (12, 44, 170, and 320 mg/liter as CaCO3). The eyed-egg stage was one of the most resistant stages tested, and the sac-fry stage was one of the least resistant...

Water resources of the Clinton River basin, southeastern Michigan Water resources of the Clinton River basin, southeastern Michigan
This hydrologic atlas is part of a comprehensive study of the water resources of southeastern Michigan. The data presented provides information on (1) the physical features of the Clinton River and its tributaries, (2) the characteristics of streamflow, (3) the quality of ground and surface water, and (4) the availability of ground water. This atlas is one in a series on the river basins...
