Ground-water levels in the United States, 1972-74, north-central states
Publication of ground-water level data for the United States in water-supply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, a single water-supply paper for each year covering the entire nation was issued (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886). Since then water-supply papers have been issued covering 6 separate sections of the United States as shown in figure

Classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes in the north central United States
The hydrologic settings of 150 lakes in the north central United States were investigated by principal component analysis as a first attempt to develop a general classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes. Precipitation-evaporation balance and the water quality variables have high loadings on the first principal component. Highest loadings on component 2 are for streamflow in and out of th

Proceedings of the first annual William Pecora Memorial Symposium, October 1975, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
The U.S. Geological Survey agreed to publish the proceeding of the first annual William T. Pecora Memorial Symposium in its Professional Paper series because the subject material is related to the mission of the Survey. The usual standards for this series have been modified to accommodate the variety of styles used by the participants in this symposium. All color illustrations are placed at the fr

Preliminary digital model of ground-water flow in the Madison Group, Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska
A digital simulation model was used to analyze regional ground-water flow in the Madison Group aquifer in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming and adjacent areas. Most recharge to the aquifer originates in or near the outcrop areas of the Madison in the Bighorn Mountains and Black Hills, and most discharge occurs through springs and wells. Flow through the aquifer in the modeled areas was

Numerical simulation analysis of the interaction of lakes and ground water
Because the interrelationship of lakes and ground water is perhaps the least understood aspect of lake hydrology, vertical-section, steadystate, numerical-model simulations were run to evaluate the factors that control the interaction of lakes and ground water. The study is concerned only with lakes encircled by water-table mounds that are at a higher altitude than lake level. Simulations of one-l

Ground-water investigation for U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility O-O, Griggs County, North Dakota
U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility 0-0 is located about 3.6 miles (5.6 kilometres) north of Cooperstown, Griggs County, North Dakota. Test drilling indicates that a glacial-drift aquifer located within about 0.2 mile (0.3 kilometre) of the site will supply 2 to 3 gallons per minute (0.13 to 0.19 litre per second) of acceptable quality water for the facility.

Results of aquifer testing in the Belcourt area, Rolette County, North Dakota
The city of Belcourt, Agency headquarters for the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation, is located in northeastern Rolette County, north-central North Dakota. At the request of the U.S. Public Health Service, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study in the vicinity of Belcourt to assist in location of a suitable water supply for the city.

Ground-water availability in the Belcourt area, Rolette County, North Dakota
Test drilling and geologic data indicate that there are two potential aquifers in the Belcourt, N. Dak. area capable of supplying a sufficient quantity of ground water for the city of Belcourt. The Fox Hills aquifer, located about 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) west of Belcourt, could yield a sufficient quantity, as much as 500,000 gallons per day (1,900 cubic metres per day), of ground water for Belco
