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 Kettle River watershed, east-central Minnesota Water resources of the Kettle River watershed, east-central Minnesota
The topography of the Kettle River watershed is formed primarily by glacial deposits that mantle the bedrock. The glacial deposits are generally less than 100 feet thick. Bedrock consists of several types and occasionally crops out at land surface. Topography ranges from gently rolling to steeply undulating. About 1,060 square miles is drained by the Kettle River and its tributaries, and...

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...

An approach to the design of statewide or regional ground water information systems An approach to the design of statewide or regional ground water information systems
The design of water information or basic data systems must be flexible enough to provide information and data for a broad range of interests from national to local. The system must satisfy the need for information for accounting, surveillance, and areal synthesis purposes. The network is designed by identifying specific needs in terms of maps, analyses, and studies that will provide the...

A study of the Flint River, Michigan, as it relates to low-flow augmentation A study of the Flint River, Michigan, as it relates to low-flow augmentation
One of the uses of the Flint River is dilution of waste-water. Population and industrial growth in the Flint area hah placed new demands on the stream and emphasized the need for an analysis of the surface water resources of the basin. This report describes selected streamflow characteristics of the Flint River and its tributaries, and presents draft-storage relations for the river basin...
