Ground-water appraisal of the Pineland Sands area, central Minnesota
J. O. Helgesen
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-102
The Pineland Sands area consists of 770 square miles of surficial glacial outwash, which is undergoing increasing ground-water development for irrigation. The aquifer material is commonly very fine sand to fine gravel, and grain size generally increases from south to north. Thickness, transmissivity, and theoretical well yields are highest in...
Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Minnesota
Lowell C. Guetzkow
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-31
Estimating relations have been developed to provide engineers and designers with improved techniques for defining flow-frequency characteristics to satisfy hydraulic planning and design requirements. The magnitude and frequency of floods up to the 100-year recurrence interval can be determined for most streams in Minnesota by methods presented. By multiple regression...
Water resources in western Cortland County, New York: hydrologic data for 1972-75 and progress report
Harold L. Shindel, William Buller, William H. Johnston
1977, Open-File Report 77-525
Basic data on the surface water, ground water, and water quality of Cortland County, New York, are presented with a short explanatory text. Seepage investigations showed that during periods of base flow, the surface-water regime cannot be predicted on the basis of flow-duration figures alone. The investigations also indicate that...
Hydrologic considerations in dewatering and refilling Lake Carlton, Orange and Lake Counties, Florida
Warren Anderson, G.H. Hughes
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-131
Lake Carlton straddles the line between Lake and Orange Counties in central Florida. The 382-acre (155-hectare) lake is highly eutrophic and subject to virtually perpetual algal blooms. The Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has proposed to restore the lake to a less eutrophic state by dewatering the lake...

Hydrologic data of the coastal drainage basins of southeastern Massachusetts, Plymouth to Weweantic River, Wareham
John R. Williams, Gary D. Tasker, Richard E. Willey
1977, Open-File Report 77-186
The principal basins in this study in southeastern Massachusetts are those of Town Brook, Eel River, and Beaverdam Brook, all draining to Cape Cod Bay; Herring Brook draining to the Cape Cod Canal; and Red Brook, Agawam River, Wankinco River, and Weweantic River, all draining to Buzzards Bay. This report...

Assessment of increased thermal activity at Mount Baker, Washington, March 1975-March 1976
David Frank, Mark Frederick Meier, Donald A. Swanson, James W. with contributions by Babcock, Marvin O. Fretwell, Stephen D. Malone, Charles L. Rosenfeld, Ronald L. Shreve, Ray E. Wilcox
1977, Professional Paper 1022-A
In March 1975 Mount Baker showed a large increase in thermal emission, which has persisted for more than 1 year. Fumarole ejecta accompanied the thermal activity from March to September, but the ejecta had no constituents that suggest a magmatic source. Estimates of that part of the total heat flux...

Hydrology of Lake Panasoffkee, Sumter County, Florida
G.F. Taylor
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-88
Lake Panasoffkee, in midwest Sumter County of central Florida, receives water from three creeks and discharges water through Outlet River at an average daily rate of 207 cubic feet per second. The eastern shore of the lake is marsh and wooded swamp with inflow to the lake coming from the...
Ground-water data for Michigan, 1976
G.C. Huffman
1977, Open-File Report 77-782
The purpose of this report is to make available the records of water levels in principal aquifers of the State through 1976 and to compile related data, such as records of ground-water pumpage. Also included in the report are data on municipal, public, and industrial water-supply facilities. Records of water...
Hydrologic considerations associated with dredging spring ponds in Wisconsin
William J. Rose
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-18
Spring ponds (small spring-fed bodies of water) are natural features of some glaciated areas and have a continuous flow of ground water entering through their bottoms and exiting through surface outlets. Dredging has been used to restore ponds that have been filled in part or totally by sediment. The purpose of...
Ground water in the Koehn Lake area, Kern County, California
J. H. Koehler
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-66
Hydrologic characteristics of the Koehn Lake area were investigated to determine the effects of external stresses on the system. Unconsolidated deposits are more than 900 feet thick in the central part of the basin. Cantil Valley fault, in the central part of the basin, acts as a barrier to the...
Hydrologic evaluation of the Arikaree Formation near Lusk, Niobrara and Goshen counties, Wyoming
M. A. Crist
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-111
The Arikaree Formation of early Miocene age is an aquifer of large areal extent and is composed of very fine grained, poorly bedded, loosely to moderately cemented sandstone and interbedded silt, limestone, and many concretionary layers. The area studied is about 800 square miles in southern Niobrara and northern Goshen...
Small-stream flood investigations in Minnesota: October 1958 to September 1975
Lowell C. Guetzkow, Kurt T. Gunard
1977, Open-File Report 77-39
An investigation of flood flows from small drainage basins in Minnesota was initiated to aid in the design of bridges, culverts and other highway drainage structures. The program provides peak flow data on streams having drainage areas generally less than 50 square miles, placing particular emphasis on those less than...

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-133
A digital model of the principal artesian aquifer has been developed for the Savannah, Georgia, area. The model simulates the response of the aquifer system to various hydrologic stresses. Model results of the water levels and water-level changes are shown on maps. Computations may be extended in time, indicating changes...
