The study of fresh-water lake ice using multiplexed imaging radar
The study of ice in the upper Great Lakes, both from the operational and the scientific points of view, is receiving continued attention. Quantitative and qualitative field work is being conducted to provide the needed background for accurate interpretation of remotely sensed data. The data under discussion in this paper were obtained by a side-looking multiplexed airborne radar (SLAR) supplemente

Configuration of water table and distribution of downward leakage to the Prairie du Chien-Jordan Aquifer in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, Minnesota
The configuration of the water table as plotted at a contour interval of 20 feet (6 metres) on quadrangle maps (scale 1:2,500) of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. Control points used for mapping were water levels in wells, lakes and sloughs, and places where topographic contours cross perennial streams.
A computer program, using a variation of Darcy's law, was developed to determine d

Analysis of operational plan for Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
Historical inflows into Lake Chippewa for 39 years of record were analyzed to determine the possibility of operating the flowage within a 2-foot (0.6-metre) range of stage while maintaining a minimum discharge of 57 cubic feet per second (1.6 cubic metres per second) and limiting the maximum discharge to 7,000 cubic feet per second (200 cubic metres per second). This proposed operating plan could

Streamflow Characteristics of Klawitter Creek Basin near Westfield, Wisconsin
This report presents low-flow characteristics and mean annual discharge for a site on Klawitter Creek, where an application for diversion of streamflow has been made. This information will be used by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to determine the availability of irrigation water from the stream while maintaining sufficient streamflow to support fish. The study was done in cooperati

Some limnological aspects of 20 selected lakes in Eagan and Apple Valley, Minnesota
Selected physical, chemical, and biological parameters were determined to assess the quality of 20 lakes in the cities of Eagan and Apple Valley, Minn. All the lakes are eutrophic except Holland and Fish Lakes, which are mesotrophic. Some lakes (including Fish Lake) have storm sewer inlets but are not discernibly different in quality than lakes with no such inlets.

A water-quality assessment of the Burnham Creek Watershed, Polk County, Minnesota
A water-quality assessment of the Burnham Creek watershed, Polk County, Minn., was made in May 1975. Surface waters were calcium magnesium bicarbonate types with 0.11 mg/liter or less of nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen and 0.10 mg/liter or less of total phosphorous. Fecal coliform bacteria concentrations were between 3 and 720 colonies per 100 milliliters and fecal Streptococci concentrations ranged
