Availability of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota Availability of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota
Lyon County is in southwestern Minnesota, about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul The basement rocks in the area consist of granite and quartzite of Precambrian age. These materials are in turn overlain by shale and sandstone of Cretaceous age, glacial drift of Pleistocene age, and alluvium of Recent age. Ground water is available primarily from aquifers in Pleistocene and...

Floods in Wisconsin: Magnitude and frequency Floods in Wisconsin: Magnitude and frequency
Flood data from gaging stations on Wisconsin rivers and streams are listed in this report. From these data, composite frequency curves were defined which express the ratio of floods of various recurrence intervals to the mean annual flood. Multiple correlation techniques were used to obtain formulas that relate the basin parameters of drainage area, main channel slope, and lake and...

Floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan Floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan
The floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan, resulted from heavy rainfall during the night of May 19-20. Peak unit discharges for small drainage areas (less than about 15 square miles) were the highest ever measured in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and for very small areas (about one square mile) were of the same order of magnitude as those for the record...

Occurrence of ground waters of low hardness and of high chloride content in Lyon County, Minnesota Occurrence of ground waters of low hardness and of high chloride content in Lyon County, Minnesota
The ground water in Lyon County and elsewhere in southwestern Minnesota is generally hard and low in chloride. It is the purpose of this report to describe briefly the occurrence in Lyon County of waters of low hardness and of high chloride content. The waters are found largely in Cretaceous sandstone. The data were collected in conjunction with a countywide study of the geology and...
