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...

Ground water for irrigation near Lake Emily, Pope County, west-central Minnesota Ground water for irrigation near Lake Emily, Pope County, west-central Minnesota

In the Lake Emily area, thickness of the glacial drift ranges from about 200 feet to more than 400 feet. Within the drift are sand and gravel aquifers, some of which can yield adequate water supplies for irrigation. Outwash, as much as 60 feet thick, lies at the surface. The outwash has saturated thicknesses of more than 40 feet and transmissivities of more than 50,000 gallons per day...
