Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin, are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 12 gaging stations, flow duration at 10 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 23 low-flow partial-record stations and 137 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites and

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the upper Wisconsin River basin, Wisconsin
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the upper Wisconsin River basin are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 10 gaging stations, flow duration at 8 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 13 low-flow partial-record stations and 81 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites and at sites where one base

Baseline water quality of Schmidt, Hornbeam, and Horseshoe Lakes, Dakota County, Minnesota
Three lakes in Dakota County were sampled five times during an 18-month period to determine baseline water quality prior to construction of an interstate highway. Results of physical measurements and chemical analyses showed that the lakes were shallow, nonstratified, and nutrient enriched. Considerable seasonal variations in dissolved solids, nutrient, and dissolved-oxygen concentrations were obs

The effects of using ground water to maintain water levels of Cedar Lake, Wisconsin
Cedar Lake, a kettle lake with no surface inlet or outlet, was studied to evaluate the feasibility of maintaining water levels of lakes in the glaciated kettle moraine area of eastern Wisconsin by pumping ground water into them. The general hydrogeology of the area around the lake was defined and the hydrology of the lake was studied in detail.
There are two aquifer systems in the Cedar Lake area,

Data-base system for northern Midwest regional aquifer-system analysis
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a study of the Cambrian and Ordovician aquifer system of the northern Midwest as part of a national series of Regional Aquifer-Systems Analysis (RASA). An integral part of this study will be a simulation of the ground-water flow regime using the Geological Survey's three-dimensional finite-difference model. The first step in the modeling effort is the desig

Quality of runoff from small watersheds in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota - A project plan
A program of water-quality sampling to define the relationships between land use, watershed characteristics, and the quantity, quality, and timing of runoff has been started for the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota. Ten major watersheds were chosen as representative of conditions in the metropolitan area. Each will be sampled at one location near the outlet. Six of the watersheds are agr

Chemical and physical characteristics of natural ground waters in Michigan: A preliminary report
Wide variations occur in the chemical and physical characteristics of natural groundwaters in Michigan. Dissolved-solids concentrations range from 23 to 2,100 milligrams per liter. Waters having low dissolved-solids concentrations are calcium bicarbonate waters. Sodium, sulfate, and chloride increase as mineralization increases. Iron, aluminum, and titanium are higher at some locations than is com

Water resources of the St. Louis River watershed, northeastern Minnesota
The St. Louis River is the largest tributary to Lake Superior in Minnesota. It drains a predominantly forested area of about 3,650 mi2 (Minnesota Department of Conservation, 1959) and discharges into the lake at Duluth.
The Mesabi Iron Range, noted for rich deposits of iron ore, parallels much of the northern watershed boundary. Large areas of land were altered by mining activities, as seen on the
