Information Support for Groundwater Management in the Wisconsin Central Sands, 2011-2013
This report summarizes data and information gathering for 2011 through 2013 that supports groundwater management activities in the Wisconsin central sands.
Assessing Seasonal Variations in Recharge and Water Quality in the Silurian Aquifer in Areas with Thicker Soil Cover
The fractured Silurian dolomite aquifer is an important, but vulnerable, source of drinking water in northeast Wisconsin (Sherrill, 1978; Bradbury and Muldoon, 1992).
Impacts of Potato and Maize Management and Climate Change on Groundwater Recharge Across the Central Sands
The Wisconsin Central Sands region irrigates 80,000 hectares of potato, maize, pea, and bean crops by pumping groundwater from a coarse, shallow aquifer.
Water Isotope Analyses of Community Wells in Support of EPA-funded Project: “Community-Randomized Intervention Trial with UV-disinfection for Estimating the Risk of Pediatric Illness from Municipal Groundwater Consumption”
Because surface water can be a source of undesirable water quality in a drinking water well, an understanding of the amount of surface water and its travel time to the well is needed to asse...
Mapping and Characterization of Springs in Brown and Calumet Counties
Flow from groundwater springs and the associated emergent environment provide important habitat for a variety of terrestrial and aquatic plant and animal species.
Identification and Characterization of Springs in West-Central Wisconsin
The objectives of this investigation were to locate springs within St. Croix County, to measure the discharge rate of each of these springs, and to estimate the recharge area for springs with discharge rates greater than or equal to 1.0 cubic foot per second (cfs).
