Report, database, field protocol, photos, and site sketches documenting the multi-year project inventorying springs in Wisconsin with discharge rates of at least 0.25 cubic feet per second.

This report documents the groundwater flow model that was developed for western Chippewa County, Wisconsin. It also presents analyses that were run to evaluate how industrial sand (frac sand) mining and irrigated agriculture--might affect the water table and base flows of nearby headwater streams.

All of what is now Calumet and Manitowoc Counties was covered by ice during the last great glaciation, between 30,000 and 11,000 years ago. This bulletin explains the glacial history, interprets the deposits left behind, and portrays the distribution of the deposits on a map and cross sections. This report should be useful to planners and development...

The bulletin describes the state-of-the-art scientific tool that can be used to help make good decisions about high-capacity well placement and pumping, as well as land use in Wisconsin's Central Sands region. It can also be used to predict which wells and well locations would have the greatest impact on nearby lakes and streams. The user's manual...

Traces the complex glacial history of Door County. Map shows glacial units with shaded relief.

The 2016 groundwater flow model is a three-dimensional model using state-of-the-art representation of the hydrogeology of Dane County. This report describes the model, appendices provide data, and the user's manual provides basic instructions and recommendations for running the model.

Kewaunee County, at the southern end of the Door Peninsula, was overrun by glaciers many times. Author Lee Clayton describes the county's complex glacial geology, from the surface soil down to solid rock. The accompanying map shows the placement of glacial sediments as well as glacial and post-glacial stream and lake sediments.

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.

This report traces the advances and retreats of glaciers through Sheboygan County in eastern Wisconsin. Available as a bulletin, map, cross sections, and GIS data.

A catalog that features technical information and detailed drawings for more than 100 species of lake plants that range from the rare to the commonplace. Wire bound with plastic cover.

Description of the geologic history of Dane County. The preface points out the significance of glacial landscape research at WGNHS over the past century. Many pictures and diagrams and a four-color map and cross sections show the striking differences between glaciated and unglaciated regions of the county. Map and cross sections are folded.
