Water resources of the Menominee Indian Reservation of Wisconsin Water resources of the Menominee Indian Reservation of Wisconsin
Water resources of the Menominee Indian Reservation, Wisconsin, were investigated during the period October 1981 through September 1987. The report presents baseline data and some interpretation of ground- and surface-water hydrology and quality of the Reservation. The area stratigraphy consists of basal Precambrian crystalline bedrock and overlying till and sand and gravel deposits. In...

Water-resources investigations in Wisconsin Water-resources investigations in Wisconsin
The statewide average precipitation of 38.79 inches for the 1993 water year was 122 percent of the normal annual precipitation of 31.77 inches for water years 1961-90. Average precipitation values ranged from 103 percent of normal in northwestern Wisconsin to 150 percent of normal in southwestern Wisconsin (Pamela Naber Knox, UW-Extension, Geological and Natural History Survey, written...

A laboratory and field evaluation of a portable immunoassay test for triazine herbicides in environmental water samples A laboratory and field evaluation of a portable immunoassay test for triazine herbicides in environmental water samples
The usefulness and sensitivity, of a portable immunoassay test for the semiquantitative field screening of water samples was evaluated by means of laboratory and field studies. Laboratory results indicated that the tests were useful for the determination of atrazine concentrations of 0.1 to 1.5 μg/L. At a concentration of 1 μg/L, the relative standard deviation in the difference between...

Hydrology and water quality of the Forest County Potawatomi Indian Reservation, Wisconsin Hydrology and water quality of the Forest County Potawatomi Indian Reservation, Wisconsin
This report presents data from a study by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Forest County Potawatomi Community of Wisconsin, to document the hydrology and water quality of the Potawatomi Indian Reservation in southern Forest County. Data were collected from October 1981 through September 1987. Glacial sand and gravel forms the primary aquifer on the reservation. This...

Field observations, preliminary model analysis, and aquifer thermal efficiency Field observations, preliminary model analysis, and aquifer thermal efficiency
In May 1980, the University of Minnesota began a project to evaluate the feasibility of storing heated (150 degrees Celsius (°C) water in the deep (180 to 240 meters (m)) Franconia-Ironton-Galesville aquifer and later recovering it for space heating. The Aquifer Thermal-Energy Storage (ATES) system was a doublet-well design in which the injection and withdrawal wells were spaced...

Hydrology and water quality of Powers Lake, southeastern Wisconsin Hydrology and water quality of Powers Lake, southeastern Wisconsin
This report describes the hydrology and water quality of Powers Lake, a recreational lake in a densely populated area of southeastern Wisconsin, from October 16, 1986 - October 15, 1987. The hydrologic budget for the study period showed that direct precipitation on the lake and ground water were dominant sources of water entering the lake (37 and 36 percent, respectively) and that...

Ground-water quality at the Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991 Ground-water quality at the Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991
The northern cornbelt sand-plains Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) program is a multiagency, multistate initiative to evaluate the effects of modified and prevailing fanning systems on water quality in a sand-plain area in Minnesota and at satellite areas in North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin (Delin and others, 1992). The primary objective of the northern cornbelt sand-plains...
