The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin The Pine-Popple River basin — Hydrology of a wild river area, northeastern Wisconsin
The Pine and Popple Rivers, virtually unaltered by man, flow through a semiprimitive area of forests, lakes, and glacial hills. White-water streams, natural lakes, fish and animal life, and abundant vegetation contribute to the unique recreational and aesthetic characteristics of the area. Resource planning or development should recognize the interrelationships within the hydrologic...

Water resources of Wisconsin: Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin Water resources of Wisconsin: Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin
The purpose of this report is to describe the water resources of the Menominee-Oconto - Peshtigo River basin in Wisconsin in order to aid in planning future water management in the basin and in nearby areas. The physical setting, availability, distribution, movement, quality, and use of water are discussed. The report presents general information on the basin that was derived from data...

Water resources of the Clinton River basin, southeastern Michigan Water resources of the Clinton River basin, southeastern Michigan
This hydrologic atlas is part of a comprehensive study of the water resources of southeastern Michigan. The data presented provides information on (1) the physical features of the Clinton River and its tributaries, (2) the characteristics of streamflow, (3) the quality of ground and surface water, and (4) the availability of ground water. This atlas is one in a series on the river basins...

Water resources data for Michigan, water years 1972-73; Part 2, Water quality records Water resources data for Michigan, water years 1972-73; Part 2, Water quality records
Water resources data for the 1972 and 1973 water years for Michigan include records of data for the chemical and physical characteristics of surface and ground waters. Data on the quality of surface water (chemical, temperature, and sediment) were collected from designated sampling sites at predetermined intervals such as once-daily, weekly, monthly or less frequently, and at some sites...

Improvement of trout streams in Wisconsin by augmenting low flows with ground water Improvement of trout streams in Wisconsin by augmenting low flows with ground water
Approximately 2 cubic feet per second of ground water were introduced into the Little Plover River in 1968 when natural streamflow ranged from 3 to 4 cubic feet per second. These augmentation flows were retained undiminished through the 2-mile reach of stream monitored. Maximum stream temperatures were reduced as much as 5?F (3?C) at the augmentation site during the test period, although...

Hydrogeology of glacial drift, Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota Hydrogeology of glacial drift, Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
Stratified fluvial sediments occur within the glacial drift at many places in the Mesabi Iron Range area. These sediments, which are important aquifers, occur extensively between the three main till units. The thickest and most extensive aquifer consists of glaciofluvial sediments that lie between the surficial till and the middle till unit, the bouldery till. Thickness of the...

Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams Relation of channel slope to reaeration of Michigan streams
Reaeration coefficients (k2), which are rate constants for the process of oxygen absorption from the atmosphere, have been computed for Michigan's streams using an equation developed by Bennett and Rathbun (1972). Mean velocity and mean depth data, which are necessary for the computation, have been extracted from discharge measurements made at gaging stations throughout the State. The...

Appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Little Falls area, Morrison County, Minnesota Appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Little Falls area, Morrison County, Minnesota
Anticipated irrigation on sandy soils has prompted evaluation of ground-water supply potential in the Little Falls area. Geologic conditions cause ground-water availability to vary widely in the area. The largest and most readily available groundwater source is the glacial outwash sand and gravel from which the soils were derived. Test augering shows that the saturated surficial outwash...
