Water resources of the Pomme de Terre River Watershed, West-central Minnesota
The watershed is underlain by water-bearing glacial drift, cretaceous rocks, and Precambrian crystalline rocks. It is an elongate basin 92 miles long and has a drainage area of 977 square miles. The Pomme de Terre River flows within an outwash valley discharging into the Minnesota River at Marsh Lake.

Induced recharge of an artesian glacial-drift aquifer at Kalamazoo, Michigan
As part of a program for managing its ground-water supply, the city of Kalamazoo has constructed induced-recharge facilities at the sites of several of its well fields. To determine the benefits of induced recharge in a water-management program, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city, conducted a series of field experiments at a city well field (Station 9). The 12 production well

Reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources in the Aurora area, St. Louis county, Minnesota
The Aurora area is a glaciated upland of drift-mantled slopes, channels, swamps, and glacial-lake plains. It covers about 24 square miles of the eastern part of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota. A deep narrow channel along the Embarrass River, the principal outlet of a former large glacial lake north of the Embarrass Mountains, lies partly within the area.

Effect of treated effluent diversion on Yahara River flow, Wisconsin
Before December 1958 the treated sewage effluent from the Madison, Wisconsin, metropolitan area was discharged into the Yahara River at the north end of Lake Waubesa, which is upstream from the USGS gaging station on the Yahara River near McFarland, Wis. Since December 1958 the effluent has been diverted southward from the sewage treatment plant into Badfish Creek and enters the lower reach of Yah

Evaluation of p,p'-DDT as a reference toxicant in bioassays
p,p'-DDT was tested as a reference standard toxicant against 19 species of freshwater fish, including 39 lots from 10 sources. In particular, the rapidity, nonselectivity, and consistency of its toxicity to fish were evaluated in 96-hour static bioassays. The chemical was rapidly and consistently toxic to lake trout, carp, green sunfish, bluegill, and yellow perch. It lacked either rapid or consis
