Water resources of Wisconsin — Central Wisconsin River basin Water resources of Wisconsin — Central Wisconsin River basin
LOCATION AND EXTENT OF STUDY AREA The central Wisconsin River basin is the middle part of the entire Wisconsin River basin. The basin is about 5,050 square miles in area, and extends about 110 miles south from Merrill to Wisconsin Dells. The basin includes all or parts of the following counties: Adams, Clark, Columbia, Jackson, Juneau, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Marquette, Monroe...

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...

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...

Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin
Development of ground water for irrigation affects streamflow and water levels in the sand-plain area of central Wisconsin. Additional irrigation development may reduce opportunities for water-based recreation by degrading the streams as trout habitat and by lowering lake levels. This study was made to inventory present development of irrigation in the sand-plain area, assess potential...

Reconnaissance of the Pere Marquette River, a cold water river in the central part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula Reconnaissance of the Pere Marquette River, a cold water river in the central 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...

Ground water for irrigation in the Brooten-Belgrade area, west-central Minnesota Ground water for irrigation in the Brooten-Belgrade area, west-central Minnesota
Water for irrigation is needed to improve crop yields from sandy soils in the Brooten-Belgrade area. Ground-water supplies of sufficient quantity and suitable quality for irrigation are available in much of the area. Quaternary glacial drift, as much as 300 feet thick, is underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks and possibly by Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. Sand and gravel aquifers are...

Hydrology of Pine Creek, Wisconsin Hydrology of Pine Creek, Wisconsin
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Pine Creek, Price County, Wisconsin, in order to evaluate a proposed reservoir on Pine Creek. The streamflow characteristics estimated are the mean flows, low flows, and flood peaks. The study was done by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
