Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan
Large quantities of water are needed in the beneficiation and pelletizing processes by which the ore mined from low-grade iron-formations is upgraded into an excellent raw material for the iron and steel industry. Extensive reserves of low-grade iron-formation available for development herald an intensification of the demands upon the area's water supplies. This study was designed to...

Water resources of the Roseau River Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Roseau River Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota
The drainage area of the Roseau River consists of 2,060 square miles above its confluence with the Red River of the North. About 1,150 square miles lie in the United States and 910 square miles in Canada. This report deals only with that portion within the United States, except for a detailed analysis of low flow characteristics of tributary streams. Most of the area is within Roseau...

Water resources of Branch County, Michigan Water resources of Branch County, Michigan
Branch County has abundant water resources throughout most of its area. Almost all the water used is supplied by wells that obtain water from glacial drift deposits and locally from fractures and sandy beds in the Coldwater Shale. Glacial drift in buried bedrock valleys may yield large quantities of water to wells. Well yields are generally adequate for domestic and farm supplies...

Reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources in the Aurora area, St. Louis county, Minnesota Reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources in the Aurora area, St. Louis county, Minnesota
The Aurora area is a glaciated upland of drift-mantled slopes, channels, swamps, and glacial-lake plains. It covers about 24 square miles of the eastern part of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota. A deep narrow channel along the Embarrass River, the principal outlet of a former large glacial lake north of the Embarrass Mountains, lies partly within the area. The deposits in...

Effect of treated effluent diversion on Yahara River flow, Wisconsin Effect of treated effluent diversion on Yahara River flow, Wisconsin
Before December 1958 the treated sewage effluent from the Madison, Wisconsin, metropolitan area was discharged into the Yahara River at the north end of Lake Waubesa, which is upstream from the USGS gaging station on the Yahara River near McFarland, Wis. Since December 1958 the effluent has been diverted southward from the sewage treatment plant into Badfish Creek and enters the lower...

Evaluation of p,p'-DDT as a reference toxicant in bioassays Evaluation of p,p'-DDT as a reference toxicant in bioassays
p,p'-DDT was tested as a reference standard toxicant against 19 species of freshwater fish, including 39 lots from 10 sources. In particular, the rapidity, nonselectivity, and consistency of its toxicity to fish were evaluated in 96-hour static bioassays. The chemical was rapidly and consistently toxic to lake trout, carp, green sunfish, bluegill, and yellow perch. It lacked either rapid...
