Hydrology of melt-water channels in southwestern Minnesota Hydrology of melt-water channels in southwestern Minnesota
Melt-water channel deposits are among the most important aquifers in southwestern Minnesota, but permeable zones within the deposits are difficult to locate. Interpretation of the depositional history of proglacial channel deposits from aerial photographs and test-hole samples indicates the position of the permeable zones. Generally, the coarse-grained deposits are in headwater areas...

Ground-water resources of Waupaca County, Wisconsin Ground-water resources of Waupaca County, Wisconsin
Waupaca County is in east-central Wisconsin. No serious ground-water problems existed in 1960 except in a few localities where crystalline rock is near land surface or is covered by nearly impermeable till. The use of ground water for irrigation has not appreciably affected ground-water levels. The county is covered by Pleistocene till, glaciolacustrine (lake), glaciofluvial (stream)...

Ground-water conditions in the Green Bay area, Wisconsin, 1950-60 Ground-water conditions in the Green Bay area, Wisconsin, 1950-60
The Green Bay area, which includes parts of Brown, Outagamie, and Shawano Counties, has an area of about 525 square miles in eastern Wisconsin at the south end of Green Bay. In 1960, it had a population estimated at 124,000; Green Bay, the largest city in the area, had a population of 62,888. The Green Bay area is underlain by a basement complex of crystalline rocks of Precambrian age...

Flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams: Flow-duration, Hhgh-flow, and low-flow tables for selected streams through water-year 1960 Flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams: Flow-duration, Hhgh-flow, and low-flow tables for selected streams through water-year 1960
The collection of data on the flow of rivers in Wisconsin started on a continuing basis in 1913. A few streamflow records were started in the late 1800's, one as early as 1888 (Chippewa River at Chippewa Falls). Much of the work has been done under cooperative arrangements between the U.S. Geological Survey and various State and Federal agencies. These data have been published in the...
