Water resources of Wisconsin: Rock-Fox River basin
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this report is to describe the physical environment, availability, distribution, characteristics, movement, quality, water problems, and use of water within the Rock-Fox River basin in order to aid in planning future water management within the basin.

Hydrology of a part of the Big Sioux drainage basin, eastern South Dakota
In 1960 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the South Dakota State Water Resources Commission and the South Dakota State Geological Survey, started a program for the hydrogeologic investigation of glacial drift in selected drainage basins in eastern South Dakota. This program was designed to delineate water-bearing deposits of glacial-outwash sand and gravel, and to determine their wat

Ground water in the Ogallala formation in the southern high plains of Texas and New Mexico
The Ogallala Formation of Tertiary (Pliocene) age is the principal aquifer in the Southern High Plains of western Texas and eastern New Mexico. This heavily pumped aquifer supplies practically all the water used for irrigation, municipal, industrial (except oil-field repressuring), and domestic purposes.
Although the ground water in the Ogallala Formation in the Southern High Plains is common to b

Water resources of the Buffalo River Watershed, West-central Minnesota
The Buffalo River watershed includes two general physiographic areas – a glacial lake plain and an glacial moraine.
The lake plain, which was formed by Glacial lake Agassiz more than 9,000 years ago, is extremely flat – sloping only a few feet per mile westward near the Red River of the North. The moraine is largely an area of gently rolling hills, but in the eastern “tail” of the watershed the re

Water resources of the Yellow Medicine River Watershed, Southwestern Minnesota
Glacial drift and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks are the major aquifers in the Yellow Medicine River watershed unit.
The Yellow Medicine and Minnesota Rivers are the major sources of surface water. For physiographic regions – Upland Plain, Slope, Lowland Plain, and Minnesota River Flood Plain – influence surface drainage, and the flow of ground water through the aquifers. The watershed comprises 107
