The sandy uplands of the Bayfield Peninsula are primary contributors to regional groundwater recharge and provide baseflow to streams in the area. Few data exist, however, to characterize upland hydrogeology or its susceptibility to groundwater contamination. Here, data from two new cores and wells, one existing well, and a lake in the sandy uplands...

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...

Analysis of the groundwater resources in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Includes report, five plates, and digital data.

Results of a comprehensive review and analysis of groundwater resources in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The study was divided by location into four reports corresponding to the four main land units: Medford, Nicolet, Park Falls, and Washburn/Great Divide. Each report describes the results of the inventory, modeling, and analysis.

This report provides information about well construction, groundwater flow, and resulting implications for well susceptibility in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. The work follows an earlier groundwater study that focused on two agricultural areas within Bayfield County.

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.

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...

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.
