A Study of Fecal Indicators and Other Factors Impacting Water Quality in Private Wells in Door County, Wisconsin
The primary goal of this study was to obtain the percentage of wells impacted by contaminants based on three indicators studied by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as tools to identify fecal contamination in groundwater.
Viral Contamination of Household Wells Near Disposal Sites for Human Excreta
Recent studies monitoring ground water for enteric viruses have focused on municipal wells, whereas the incidence of viruses in private household wells is unknown.
An Improved Hydrogeologic Model for the Token Creek Watershed
The Token Creek watershed is an important contributor of water to the Yahara River and the Madison chain of lakes. Much of the baseflow for Token Creek comes from springs.
Delineating a Spring’s Recharge Area Using Numerical Groundwater Flow Modeling and Geochemical Investigation
The Pheasant Branch watershed is in an area expected to undergo significant development. There are concerns that this development will adversely effect the water resources of the area, including a large spring complex.
An Investigation of the Hydrogeological Conditions Responsible for Springs in a Glaciated Terrain
Within Dane County, Wisconsin numerous springs exist in and around the Nine Springs watershed, the Token Creek watershed, Pheasant Branch Creek, the Sugar River watershed, and Garfoot Creek (WRM, 1996; WRM, 1997).
Application of a Discrete Fracture Flow Model for Wellhead Protection at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
A wellhead-protection study for the city of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, demonstrates the necessity of combining detailed hydrostratigraphic analysis with groundwater modeling to delineate zones of contribution for municipal wells in a fractured aquifer.
