Ground and surface water in the Mesabi and Vermilion Iron Range area, northeastern Minnesota
Within the Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area, water of good quality is available from the Biwabik Iron-Formation, from stratified drift, and from lakes and streams. About 700 bgy (billion gallons a year) leaves the area as surface water, of which about one-third comes from ground water.
Leached, oxidized, and fractured parts of the Biwabik Iron-Formation yield as much as 1,000 gpm (gallons per minu

Geology and ground-water resources of Dane County, Wisconsin
The purpose of the ground-water investigation of Dane County, Wis., was to determine the occurrence, movement, quantity, quality, and availability of ground water in the unconsolidated deposits and the underlying bedrock. The relationships between ground water and surface water were studied in general in Dane County and in detail in the Madison metropolitan area. An analysis was made of the hydrol

Summary of ground-water conditions in Michigan in 1964
The purpose of this report is to make available records of groundwater level changes in the principal aquifers of the State during 1964 and compile other related data, such as ground-water pumpage, data on municipal, public and industrial water supply facilities, and the effects of precipitation on ground-water levels. Records of water level changes in areas of heavy pumpage and in areas where cha

Preliminary map of the conterminous United States showing depth to and quality of shallowest ground water containing more than 1,000 parts per million dissolved solids
In this atlas, mineralized ground water is viewed presently as a source of water in some areas, but in much of the country as a source for future development. Mineralized water underlies large areas of the country, and its importance will grow as present supplies of fresh water are appropriated and developed. The potential uses fall in two main categories: (1) direct use in industrial processes, s

Glacial geology of the Mountain Iron-Virginia-Eveleth area Mesabi Iron Range, Minnesota: Sub-chapter in Geological Survey research 1964, Chapter C
The surficial clayey till in the vicinity of Mountain Iron, Virginia, and Eveleth is of post-Cary age. In the southern part of the area studied, this till is overlain by deposits of glacial Lake Upham, and throughout the area it is underlain successively by stratified drift and bouldery till, both of Cary age, and by remnants of older tills.

Water resources of Van Buren County, Michigan
The water resources of Van Buren County include productive ground-water reservoirs, a network of perennial streams, about 60 major inland lakes, and Lake Michigan. Most water users obtain their supplies from wells. The ground-water reservoirs in the glacial drift can provide several times the amount of water now used, but large withdrawals of ground water may lower the levels of nearby lakes or di

Flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams: Flow-duration, Hhgh-flow, and low-flow tables for selected streams through water-year 1960
The collection of data on the flow of rivers in Wisconsin started on a continuing basis in 1913. A few streamflow records were started in the late 1800's, one as early as 1888 (Chippewa River at Chippewa Falls). Much of the work has been done under cooperative arrangements between the U.S. Geological Survey and various State and Federal agencies. These data have been published in the form of daily
