Geology and hydrology of the Elk River, Minnesota, nuclear-reactor site Geology and hydrology of the Elk River, Minnesota, nuclear-reactor site
The Elk River, Minn., nuclear-reactor site is on the east bluff of the Mississippi River about 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The area is underlain by about 70 to 180 feet of glacial drift, including at the top as much as 120 feet of outwash deposits (valley train) of the glacial Mississippi River. The underlying Cambrian bedrock consists of marine sedimentary formations...

Hydrology of upper Black Earth Creek basin, Wisconsin, with a section on surface water Hydrology of upper Black Earth Creek basin, Wisconsin, with a section on surface water
The upper Black Earth Creek drainage basin has an area of 46 square miles and is in Dane County in south-central Wisconsin. The oldest rock exposed in the valley walls is the sandstone of Late Cambrian age. Dolomite of the Prairie du Chien Group of Ordovician age overlies the sandstone and forms the. resistant cap on the hills. The St. Peter Sandstone, Platteville and Decorah Formations...

Geology and ground-water conditions in the southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, Morrison County, Minnesota Geology and ground-water conditions in the southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, Morrison County, Minnesota
The southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, in central Minnesota, includes an area of about 20 square miles. This investigation was conducted to assist the U.S. National Guard Bureau in locating adequate water supplies for expansion and standby needs. Bedrock in the area consists of Precambrian phyllite which is equivalent to the Virginia slate. The area is covered largely...

Controlled induced recharge tests at Kalamazoo, Mich Controlled induced recharge tests at Kalamazoo, Mich
This article discusses the results of a controlled field testing program, which indicated that definite hydraulic and other advantages may be gained from induced recharging as practiced at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Results include the following: water levels and artesian pressures can be maintained at high stages, the results are lower pumping lifts and substantial reductions in the amount of...

Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Fond du Lac County, Wis., are sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age and dolomite of Silurian age. Other aquifers include dolomite of Ordovician age and sand. and gravel of Quaternary age. Crystalline rocks of Precambrian age, which underlie all the water-bearing formations, form a practically impermeable basement complex and yield little...
