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...

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...

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...
