Water resources of Van Buren County, Michigan Water resources of Van Buren County, Michigan
The water resources of Van Buren County include productive ground-water reservoirs, a network of perennial streams, about 60 major inland lakes, and Lake Michigan. Most water users obtain their supplies from wells. The ground-water reservoirs in the glacial drift can provide several times the amount of water now used, but large withdrawals of ground water may lower the levels of nearby...

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)...

Endothal derivatives as aquatic herbicides in fishery habitats Endothal derivatives as aquatic herbicides in fishery habitats
The disodium salt of 3,6-endoxohexahydrophthalic acid (disodium endothal) and the derivative identified by the manufacturer as the di-N,N′-dimethylococoamine salt of endothal (coded as TD-47) were particularly effective upon submersed species of aquatic vegetation as contact herbicides. Disodium endothal at concentrations of 0.5 to 10.0 ppmw was effective in controlling approximately 50...
