Monitoring and Analysis of Water Resources with Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
The USGS has partnered with the Fond du Lac Band in monitoring and investigations since 2006 to collect, interpret and publish information needed to manage water levels and restore wetlands for wild rice production. Initial work included a streamgage and a report describing aquifer properties. New investigations include groundwater and surface-water modelling of the St Louis River Basin.
Monitoring and Analysis of Water Resources with Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe
The USGS has partnered with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in monitoring and investigations for years to aid their management of water and natural resources. Currently, this includes a water-level gage on Mille Lacs Lake, an important walleye fishery for the Band, who have treaty-protected fishing rights. The lake is also the water source for many wild rice beds managed by the Band.
