Lake Number, a quantitative indicator of mixing used to estimate changes in dissolved oxygen Lake Number, a quantitative indicator of mixing used to estimate changes in dissolved oxygen
Lake Number, LN, values are shown to be quantitative indicators of deep mixing in lakes and reservoirs that can be used to estimate changes in deep water dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. LN is a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the moments about the center of volume of the water body, of the stabilizing force of gravity associated with density stratification to the

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...

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 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...

Water-resources investigations in Wisconsin, 1993 Water-resources investigations in Wisconsin, 1993
PROBLEM: Surface-water information is needed for surveillance, planning, design, hazard warning, operation, and management in water-related fields such as water supply, hydroelectric power, flood control, irrigation, bridge and culvert design, wildlife management, pollution abatement, flood-plain management, and water-resources development. An appropriate data base is necessary to...

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 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...
