Hydrogeology of a drift-filled bedrock valley near Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota Hydrogeology of a drift-filled bedrock valley near Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota
The bedrock surface of east-central Minnesota is dissected by an intricate network of valleys. Outside the bedrock valley at site B, 3 mi (4. 8 km) from site A, 100 ft (30 m) of drift overlies the bedrock surface. Observation wells were installed at the two sites to determine the vertical ground-water movement between the various aquifer units and the lateral movement between the two...

Hydrology of lakes in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area: A summary of available dat Hydrology of lakes in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area: A summary of available dat
Data were collected and summarized on the hydrology and hydrogeology of 949 lakes, 10 acres (4 hectares) or larger, in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, Minnesota. Eight tables totaling over 100 pages present data on location, depth, area, lake level, ecological and game-management classification, inflowing and outflowing streams, soils, bedrock type, water added to or take...

Probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin Probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
The probable maximum flood was computed for Lake Chippewa, Wisconsin, and routed through the lake to determine maximum lake stage. The peak discharge of the probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa was computed to be about 75,000 cubic feet per second, primarily caused by rainfall on the lake. A secondary peak of about 41,000 cubic feet per second was due to streamflow entering Lake...

An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Appleton area, west-central Minnesota An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Appleton area, west-central Minnesota
Supplemental irrigation of well-drained sandy soils has prompted an evaluation of ground water in the Appleton area. Glacial drift aquifers are the largest source of ground water. The surficial outwash sand and gravel is the most readily available and the most areally extensive drift aquifer, and it underlies much of the sandy soil area. Saturated thickness of the outwash is more than 80...

Finite difference model for aquifer simulation in two dimensions with results of numerical experiments Finite difference model for aquifer simulation in two dimensions with results of numerical experiments
The model will simulate ground-water flow in an artesian aquifer, a water-table aquifer, or a combined artesian and water-table aquifer. The aquifer may be heterogeneous and anisotropic and have irregular boundaries. The source term in the flow equation may include well discharge, constant recharge, leakage from confining beds in which the effects of storage are considered, and...

Artificial recharge through a well in fissured carbonate rock, west St. Paul, Minnesota Artificial recharge through a well in fissured carbonate rock, west St. Paul, Minnesota
The Prairie du Chien Group was injected with 2,754,000 gallons (368,200 cubic feet), or 10,430 cubic metres, of municipally treated water at about 100 gallons per minute (13.4 cubic feet per minute), or 6.3 litres per second, for 20 days. The injection-pipe system was designed to utilize pipe friction rather than a remote-controlled valve in the well to maintain positive pressure and...
