An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Wadena area, central Minnesota An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Wadena area, central Minnesota
The Wadena area is part of a large sandy plain in central Minnesota whose soils have low water-holding capacity. Drought conditions which adversely affect plant growth frequently occur in the summer when moisture is most needed. To reduce the risk of crop failure in the area supplemental irrigation is on the increase. This study was made to evaluate the ground-water resources of the area...

Sediment problems in urban areas Sediment problems in urban areas
A recognition of and solution to sediment problems in urban areas is necessary if society is to have an acceptable living environment. Soil erosion and sediment deposition in urban areas are as much an environmental blight as badly paved and littered streets, dilapidated buildings, billboard clutter, inept land use, and air, water, and noise pollution. In addition, sediment has many...

Water resources of the Wild Rice River watershed, northwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Wild Rice River watershed, northwestern Minnesota
The Wild Rice watershed includes two general physiographic areas- the glacial Lake Agassiz Plain and a glacial moraine. The lake plain is extremely flat in the western part, sloping only a few feet per mile, but in the eastern part the plain is traversed in a north-south direction by long, narrow beach ridges up to 20 feet high. The moraine is an area of hills and depressions. The local...

Water resources of the Redwood River watershed, southwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Redwood River watershed, southwestern Minnesota
The Redwood River watershed contains 739 square miles underlain by glacial drift and sedimentary and crystalline rocks. The land surface slopes gently northeastward and eastward from altitudes greater than 1900 feet at the southwestern edge to less than 850 feet at the mouth of the Redwood River in the east. The area has slight local relief shaped by continental glaciation. The Redwood...

Reconnaissance of the Pigeon River, a cold-water river in the northcentral part of Michigan's southern peninsula Reconnaissance of the Pigeon 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, and 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...

Water resources of the River Rouge basin, southeastern Michigan Water resources of the River Rouge basin, southeastern Michigan
The River Rouge basin is characterized by moderately hilly topography to the northwest graduating to a relatively level land surface to the south east. Stream gradients near the northwestern basin divide are relatively steep; but many become more steep in reaches where they cross beach lines of former glacial lakes. In the lower reaches of the River Rouge gradients lessen.
