Appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Little Falls area, Morrison County, Minnesota
John O. Helgesen
1973, Water Supply Paper 2009-D
Anticipated irrigation on sandy soils has prompted evaluation of ground-water supply potential in the Little Falls area. Geologic conditions cause ground-water availability to vary widely in the area. The largest and most readily available groundwater source is the glacial outwash sand and gravel from which the soils were derived. Test augering...

Cost analysis of ground-water supplies in the North Atlantic region, 1970
Dagfin John Cederstrom
1973, Water Supply Paper 2034
The cost of municipal and industrial ground water (or, more specifically, large supplies of ground water) at the wellhead in the North Atlantic Region in 1970 generally ranged from 1.5 to 5 cents per thousand gallons. Water from crystalline rocks and shale is relatively expensive. Water from sandstone is less...

Improvement of trout streams in Wisconsin by augmenting low flows with ground water
R.P. Novitzki
1973, Water Supply Paper 2017
Approximately 2 cubic feet per second of ground water were introduced into the Little Plover River in 1968 when natural streamflow ranged from 3 to 4 cubic feet per second. These augmentation flows were retained undiminished through the 2-mile reach of stream monitored. Maximum stream temperatures were reduced as much...
