Water use in Wisconsin, 1985 Water use in Wisconsin, 1985
An inventory of water use in Wisconsin is essential for appraising current and future water-resource needs of the State. The U.S. Geological Survey has collected and published national water-use data every 5 years since 1950. Sources of data in these reports have not always been well documented, and the methods for collecting and reporting the data were not the same for all States. Some...

Laboratory data on coarse-sediment transport for bedload-sampler calibrations Laboratory data on coarse-sediment transport for bedload-sampler calibrations
A unique facility capable of recirculating and continuously measuring the transport rates of sediment particles ranging in size from about 1 to 75 millimeters in diameter was designed and used in an extensive program involving the calibration of bedload samplers. The facility consisted of a 9-footwide by 6-foot-deep by 272-foot-long rectangular channel that incorporated seven automated...

Hydrogeologic framework and properties of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota Hydrogeologic framework and properties of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota
In 1977, the U.S. Geological Survey began a series of investigations of regional aquifer systems in the United States. These studies will provide quantitative information for use in developing and managing regional ground-water supplies. One of these studies, the Northern Midwest Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) project, concerns the Cambrian and Ordovician age aquifers that occur...

Water quality in the St Croix National Scenic Riverway, Wisconsin Water quality in the St Croix National Scenic Riverway, Wisconsin
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a water-quality study of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This report documents the water quality during the period 1975-83. The water quality is good for most uses and is a calcium bicarbonate type. Concentrations of most constituents analyzed were less than most sites in Wisconsin. Constituent loads and yields were alsg lower in the Sceiilc...

Assessment of ground-water contamination at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, 1982-85 Assessment of ground-water contamination at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, 1982-85
Continued study of ground-water contamination at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, defined the movement and distribution of volatile organic compounds in the glacial sand and gravel aquifer at known sites of contamination, and has defined new plumes at two other sites. The Arrow Street purge system, installed in 1982 to remove contaminants from the Building 43 plume, has lowered...

Development of a water-use data system in Minnesota Development of a water-use data system in Minnesota
The Minnesota State Legislature passed laws as early as 1937 to regulate use of Minnesota's ground water and surface water through a permit system. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to computerize water-use data reported to the State. The U.S. Geological Survey, through the National Water-Use Information Program, assisted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the...
