Floods on Yahara River, Lake Kegonsa dam to county line, Dane County, Wisconsin Floods on Yahara River, Lake Kegonsa dam to county line, Dane County, Wisconsin
The State of Wisconsin, as a result of recent legislation, is establishing new, and upgrading old, minimum standards for flood-plain regulation. These standards require evaluations of the flood potential of many streams in Wisconsin. This report provides an evaluation of flood potential for the Yahara River in the 13-mile low-water channel reach from the dam at the outlet of Lake Kegonsa

Water resources of the Minnesota River-Hawk Creek watershed, southwestern Minnesota Water resources of the Minnesota River-Hawk Creek watershed, southwestern Minnesota
The Minnesota River – Hawk Creek watershed is located in southwestern Minnesota. The watershed has an area of 1,479 square miles and is drained along its southwestern edge by the Minnesota River (Minnesota Division of Waters, 1959). The major watercourse within the watershed is Hawk Creek, having a drainage area of 510 square miles. Other, shorter streams drain into the Minnesota River...

Influence of surface glacial deposits on streamflow characteristics Influence of surface glacial deposits on streamflow characteristics
Streamflow characteristics at gaging stations were related by multiple regression techniques to basin and climatic characteristics and equations were developed for estimating streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites. A permeability index, based on surface geology, was used in the analysis and substantially improved the standard error of estimate as compared to previous studies. Tables...

Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970 Summary of ground-water hydrological data in Michigan in 1970
The purpose of this report is to make available the records of groundwater levels in principal aquifers of the State through 1970 and to compile other related data, such as records of ground-water pumpage, data on municipal, public and industrial water-supply facilities, and the effects of precipitation on ground-water levels. Records of water levels in areas of heavy pumpage, and in...

Real-estate lakes Real-estate lakes
Since the dawn of civilization waterfront land has been an irresistible attraction to man. Throughout history he has sought out locations fronting on oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originally sought for proximity .to water supply and transportation, such locations are now sought more for their esthetic qualities and for recreation. Usable natural waterfront property is limited, however, and...
