Water resources of the Yellow Medicine River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Yellow Medicine River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota
Glacial drift and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks are the major aquifers in the Yellow Medicine River watershed unit. The Yellow Medicine and Minnesota Rivers are the major sources of surface water. For physiographic regions – Upland Plain, Slope, Lowland Plain, and Minnesota River Flood Plain – influence surface drainage, and the flow of ground water through the aquifers. The watershed...

Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota
The Buffalo River watershed includes two general physiographic areas – a glacial lake plain and an glacial moraine. The lake plain, which was formed by Glacial lake Agassiz more than 9,000 years ago, is extremely flat – sloping only a few feet per mile westward near the Red River of the North. The moraine is largely an area of gently rolling hills, but in the eastern “tail” of the...

Cities will continue to expand and additional rural areas will be converted to urban and suburban complexes. Demands for urban water will continue to rise and this will place a heavy strain on existing systems. Cities have always faced water problems...
