Influence of surface glacial deposits on streamflow characteristics Influence of surface glacial deposits on streamflow characteristics
Streamflow characteristics at gaging stations were related by multiple regression techniques to basin and climatic characteristics and equations were developed for estimating streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites. A permeability index, based on surface geology, was used in the analysis and substantially improved the standard error of estimate as compared to previous studies. Tables...

Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970 Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970
The purpose of this report is to make available the records of groundwater levels in principal aquifers of the State through 1970 and to compile other related data, such as records of ground-water pumpage, data on municipal, public and industrial water-supply facilities, and the effects of precipitation on ground-water levels. Records of water levels in areas of heavy pumpage, and in...

Real-estate lakes Real-estate lakes
Since the dawn of civilization waterfront land has been an irresistible attraction to man. Throughout history he has sought out locations fronting on oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originally sought for proximity .to water supply and transportation, such locations are now sought more for their esthetic qualities and for recreation. Usable natural waterfront property is limited, however, and...

Estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Wisconsin Estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Wisconsin
This report provides methods for estimating flood characteristics at most sites where flood information may be needed for planning and design and summatizes the significant flood data and related information available on Wisconsin streams. Individual equations are presented for estimating flood discharges for selected recurrence intervals up to a 25-year flood for drainage areas 0.5...

Reconnaissance of the Sturgeon River, a cold-water river in the northcentral part of Michigan's southern peninsula Reconnaissance of the Sturgeon River, a cold-water river in the northcentral part of Michigan's southern peninsula
The cold-water streams of the northern states provide unique recreational values to the American people (wilderness or semi-wilderness atmosphere, fast-water canoeing, trout fishing), but the expanding recreational needs must be balanced against the growing demand of water for public and industrial supplies, for irrigation, and for the dilution of sewage and other wastes. In order to...

Floods on Yahara River, Lake Mendota to Lake Kegonsa, Dane County, Wisconsin, 1971 Floods on Yahara River, Lake Mendota to Lake Kegonsa, Dane County, Wisconsin, 1971
The profile and an approximate outline of the flooded area for the regional (100-year) flood has been determined for a 21.3-mile reach of the Yahara River, Dane County, Wisconsin, from State Highway 113 at the head of Lake Mendota downstream to the dam at the outlet of Lake Kegonsa. The reach consists principally of lake surface, which results in large amounts of flood-storage volume...
