Analysis of operational plan for Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
William R. Krug
1975, Open-File Report 75-487
Historical inflows into Lake Chippewa for 39 years of record were analyzed to determine the possibility of operating the flowage within a 2-foot (0.6-metre) range of stage while maintaining a minimum discharge of 57 cubic feet per second (1.6 cubic metres per second) and limiting the maximum discharge to 7,000...

Titanium minerals in deposits of other minerals
Eric R. Force
1975, Open-File Report 75-34
Titanium minerals in amounts equivalent to a significant portion of present world production are moved but not recovered from mines of other commodities. Resources of this type total in the millions of tons of contained TiO2. Among the possible sources for byproduct titanium are (1) ilnenite and minor rutile detrital...
Configuration of water table and distribution of downward leakage to the Prairie du Chien-Jordan Aquifer in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, Minnesota
Dana C. Larson-Higdem, S. P. Larson, Ralph F. Norvitch
1975, Open-File Report 75-342
The configuration of the water table as plotted at a contour interval of 20 feet (6 metres) on quadrangle maps (scale 1:2,500) of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. Control points used for mapping were water levels in wells, lakes and sloughs, and places where topographic contours cross perennial streams. A computer...
An appraisal of groundwater for irrigation in the Appleton area, west-central Minnesota
Steven J. Larson
1975, Open-File Report 75-32
Supplemental irrigation of well-drained sandy soils has prompted an evaluation of ground water in the Appleton area. Glacial drift aquifers are the largest source of ground water. The surficial outwash sand and gravel is the most readily available and a really extensive drift aquifer and underlies much of the sandy...

Stochastic analysis of particle movement over a dune bed
Baum K. Lee, Harvey E. Jobson
1975, Open-File Report 75-358
Stochastic models are available that can be used to predict the transport and dispersion of bed-material sediment particles in an alluvial channel. These models are based on the proposition that the movement of a single bed-material sediment particle consists of a series of steps of random length separated by rest...
