Water resources of the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, northeastern Minnesota Water resources of the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, northeastern Minnesota
The Grand Portage Indian Reservation Tribal Council needs information about the availability and quality of the ground water in the Reservation to develop, protect, and manage this resource for future use. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Grand Portage Indian Reservation Tribal Council, did a three-year study of the ground water in the Reservation to provide this...

Presence, distribution, and potential sources of nitrate and selected pesticides in the surficial aquifer along the Straight River in north-central Minnesota, 1992-93 Presence, distribution, and potential sources of nitrate and selected pesticides in the surficial aquifer along the Straight River in north-central Minnesota, 1992-93
The presence and distribution of nitrate and selected pesticides in ground water in the surficial aquifer along the Straight River in north-central Minnesota were studied. Local residents and public officials are concerned that these substances may pose a health hazard to humans and livestock. Nitrate and pesticides may move downward from cultivated croplands, livestock feedlots and...

Contributing areas of water-supply wells in Elkton and Pigeon, Huron County, Michigan Contributing areas of water-supply wells in Elkton and Pigeon, Huron County, Michigan
The villages of Elkton and Pigeon in Huron County, Michigan, depend on wells completed in the Marshall aquifer to provide a reliable source of potable water. In order to protect the quality of water pumped from these wells, these municipalities need to ensure that potentially harmful contaminants do not enter the Marshall aquifer within the contributing areas of these wells. The Well...

Applications of isotopes to tracing sources of solutes and water in shallow systems Applications of isotopes to tracing sources of solutes and water in shallow systems
New awareness of the potential danger to water supplies posed by the use of agricultural chemicals has focused attention on the nature of groundwater recharge and the mobility of various solutes, especially nitrate and pesticides, in shallow systems. A better understanding of hydrologic flowpaths and solute sources is required to determine the potential impact of sources of contamination...

Water-quality assessment of part of the Upper Mississippi River Basin, Minnesota and Wisconsin– Volatile organic compounds in surface and ground water, 1978-94 Water-quality assessment of part of the Upper Mississippi River Basin, Minnesota and Wisconsin– Volatile organic compounds in surface and ground water, 1978-94
The U.S. Geological Survey compiled and summarized analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) in surface and ground water from water-quality data bases maintained by-Federal, State, and local agencies as part of a retrospective analysis of water-quality data for the Upper Mississippi River Basin study unit of the National WaterQuality Assessment Program. The retrospective analysis...

Evaluation of nonpoint-source contamination, Wisconsin; selected streamwater-quality data, land-use and best-management practices inventory, and quality assurance and quality control, water year 1993 Evaluation of nonpoint-source contamination, Wisconsin; selected streamwater-quality data, land-use and best-management practices inventory, and quality assurance and quality control, water year 1993
The objective of the watershed-management evaluation monitoring program in Wisconsin is to evaluate the effectiveness of the best-management practices (BMPs) for rural streams, urban streams, and urban storm sewers. This report is an annual summary of the data collected for the program and a report of the results from several different special studies conducted within this program...
