Potential Effects of Climate Change on Stream Temperature in the Marengo River Headwaters
Cold-water trout habitat in Wisconsin is projected to substantially decrease as a result of climate change. The extent of habitat loss depends, in part, on groundwater discharge to streams, which can provide cool-water refuges for trout. Survey hydrogeologists used field measurements and models of groundwater flow and stream temperature to evaluate how...-

Water-Quality Indicators of Human Impacts to the Wetlands of Door County, Wisconsin
Door County, the narrow peninsula in eastern Wisconsin, is home to numerous wetlands, many of which are fed by groundwater. Poor-quality groundwater discharging to a wetland can alter the ecology of the wetland and harm native plant and animal communities. This report documents a one-year study of six wetlands. Researchers recorded water quality and... -

Groundwater and Fractured Crystalline Bedrock in Wisconsin's National Forest
An exploratory borehole drilled into the fractured crystalline (granite) bedrock in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest provided a rare opportunity to investigate groundwater flow. This 2-page factsheet provides insights that can be applied to groundwater management in bedrock aquifers. -
Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) Measurements of Uranium and Thorium in Madison, Wisconsin, Water Utility Wells 4 and 27
Concentrations of radium at or above the health standard in a Madison municipal well prompted the water utility to request assistance from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey to better understand the source of the radium. This report documents a series of analyses performed on the elemental composition of rock samples from the affected...-

Groundwater Recharge in Dane County, Wisconsin: Estimating Recharge Using a GIS-Based Water-Balance Model
Hydrogeologists at the Survey developed a groundwater management tool to help guide land-use decisions in Dane County. The publication describes the inputs used to calculate recharge and includes a reduced-scale version of the recharge map. A full-scale version of the recharge data has been subsequently added as Dataset 1.-
