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.
Hydrostratigraphic and Groundwater Flow Model: Troy Valley Glacial Aquifer, Southeastern Wisconsin
Groundwater is an important resource in Wisconsin, especially in areas of southeastern Wisconsin outside the surface water divide of the Great Lakes that are prohibited from using water from Lake Michigan by the Great Lakes Compact.
Impacts of a Rural Subdivision on Groundwater: Results of a Decade of Monitoring
Understanding how rural subdivision developments using onsite septic systems impact groundwater quality and quantity is important for land-use decisions.
Investigating Groundwater Recharge to the Cambrian-Ordovician Aquifer Through Fine-grained Glacial Deposits in the Fox River Valley, Wisconsin
Unlithified glacial sediment covers a large part of the landscape along the Fox River valley in east-central Wisconsin. Most of this sediment consists of silt and clay which can limit infiltration of surface water to recharge important bedrock aquifers in the region.
