Water resources of the Root River watershed, southeastern Minnesota
This Hydrologic Atlas is one of a series describing the 39 watersheds in Minnesota. The Root River watershed includes Houston, Winona, and parts of the surrounding counties. The 2 ,570 square miles in the watershed varies from gently rolling prairie in the west to an area of plateaus separated by valleys deeply incised into bedrock in the north and east. The average annual water budget for 30 year

Water resources of the Cedar River watershed, southeastern Minnesota
The Cedar River Watershed Unit (as established by the states of Minnesota) consists of 1,204 square miles (3,118 square kilometres) of flat or gently undulating plain.
The watershed is drained by the Cedar River and several smaller streams that flow south into Iowa and eventually into the Mississippi River.
Its easternmost neck is part of a broad, flat, well-drained plain, covered by a thin sheet

Water resources of the Mississippi and Sauk Rivers Watershed, central Minnesota
A variety of glacial landforms (moraines, till plains, drumlin fields and outwash plains) characterized the 3,890-square mile Mississippi and Sauk Rivers watershed.
Underlying the glacial drift are Cambrian and Precambrian sedimentary rocks in the southeastern part of the watershed and Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks elsewhere.
Surface drainage is entirely to the Mississippi River, the l

Water resources of the Lake of the Woods watershed, north-central Minnesota
The Lake of the Woods watershed is an area of about 2,900 square miles (7,500 km), the northern limit of which is part of the boundary between the United States and Canada. Drainage is to Lake of the Woods, either directly or by the Rainy River. The watershed includes about 470 square miles (1,220 km2) of Lake of the Woods, one-third of the lake’s total area.
The watershed, a part of the plain of

Water resources of the Huron River Basin, southeastern Michigan
This hydrologic atlas represents a part of a comprehensive study of the water resources of southeastern Michigan. Its purpose is to provide information on (1) physical features of the Huron River and its tributaries, (2) characteristics of streamflow, (3) quality of ground and surface water, and (4) availability of ground water. This atlas is one in a series of atlases on several river basins in s

Water resources of Wisconsin — Upper Wisconsin River basin
Runoff is the water in a river or stream that results from precipitation falling on the drainage basin. It is the net discharge into the stream from surface-water and ground-water sources with losses occurring from evapotranspiration and other consumptive uses. Runoff can be expressed by a variety of numerical values, but average depth of water over the drainage basin, in inches per year, probably
