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...

Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970 Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970
The purpose of this report is to make available the records of groundwater levels in principal aquifers of the State through 1970 and to compile other related data, such as records of ground-water pumpage, data on municipal, public and industrial water-supply facilities, and the effects of precipitation on ground-water levels. Records of water levels in areas of heavy pumpage, and in...

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 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...

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...
