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...

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...

Water resources of Wisconsin — Trempealeau-Black River basin Water resources of Wisconsin — Trempealeau-Black River basin

The purpose of this report is to describe the physical environment, availability, characteristics, distribution, movement, and quality of water in the lower Wisconsin River basin. In addition, water use and water problems are summarized to aid in water management within the basin. Detailed water studies will be necessary as the need for specific information increases. The lower Wisconsin...

Water resources data for Michigan, water years 1972-73; Part 2, Water quality records Water resources data for Michigan, water years 1972-73; Part 2, Water quality records

Water resources data for the 1972 and 1973 water years for Michigan include records of data for the chemical and physical characteristics of surface and ground waters. Data on the quality of surface water (chemical, temperature, and sediment) were collected from designated sampling sites at predetermined intervals such as once-daily, weekly, monthly or less frequently, and at some sites...

Water resources data for Michigan, water year 1972; Part 1, Surface water records Water resources data for Michigan, water year 1972; Part 1, Surface water records

Surface-water records for the 1972 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Michigan are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, under the...

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...

Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams

Reaeration coefficients (k2), which are rate constants for the process of oxygen absorption from the atmosphere, have been computed for Michigan's streams using an equation developed by Bennett and Rathbun (1972). Mean velocity and mean depth data, which are necessary for the computation, have been extracted from discharge measurements made at gaging stations throughout the State. The...
