Ground-water appraisal of sand plains in Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright counties, central Minnesota
Gerald F. Lindholm
1980, Open-File Report 80-1285
Surficial-sand aquifers in 960 square miles of central Minnesota have been studied to determine the occurrence, availability, and suitability of the surficial aquifer as a source of water. The aquifer is being increasingly developed for irrigation. During the drought of 1976, nearly 24,000 acre-feet of ground water was withdrawn for irrigation,...
