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

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...

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...

Real-estate lakes Real-estate lakes
Since the dawn of civilization waterfront land has been an irresistible attraction to man. Throughout history he has sought out locations fronting on oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originally sought for proximity .to water supply and transportation, such locations are now sought more for their esthetic qualities and for recreation. Usable natural waterfront property is limited, however, and...

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.

Sampling of fish muscle for M.S.222 and quinaldine residues Sampling of fish muscle for M.S.222 and quinaldine residues
Large variations in concentrations of M.S. 222 (tricaine methanesulfonate) and quinaldine (2-methylquinoline) residues occurred in various areas of fish fillets. Residue analyses of replicate samples from homogenized fillets yielded more representative results than samples cut from various areas of fillets.
