Use of water-well data in interpreting occurrence of aquifers in northeastern Lyon County, Minnesota

In northeastern Lyon County the areal distribution of aquifers of Cretaceous age determined from well-bottom altitudes suggests a series of interbedded sandstones striking northwestward and overlapping one another to the northeast. Probably the numerous thin sandstone aquifers in the area were deposited near the flanks of a Precambrian granite “high” area by a transgressing Late Cretaceous sea.

Recharging ground-water reservoirs

Successful artificial recharge of a ground-water reservoir depends upon many factors. Some factors are very complicated and technical. This paper will deal briefly with some of them. For a more comprehensive description of ground-water reservoirs and their artificial recharge, the publications listed at the end of this paper should be consulted.

Salinity and hydrology of closed lakes

Lakes without outlets, called closed lakes, are exclusively features of the arid and semiarid zones where annual evaporation exceeds rainfall. The number of closed lakes increases with aridity, so there are relatively few perennial closed lakes, but "dry" lakes that rarely contain water are numerous.Closed lakes fluctuate in level to a much greater degree than the open lakes of the humid zone, bec
