This report documents work completed as part of a grant from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGWMN) program. It provides an overview of the Wisconsin Groundwater-Level Monitoring Network (WGLMN) and provides detailed description of well evaluation and repair activities, and drilling of new monitoring wells across the...

The Central Sands nitrate and neonicotinoid database consists of over 100,000 measurements of nitrate and neonicotinoid concentrations in groundwater from wells across Adams, Juneau, Marquette, Portage, Waushara, and Wood counties collected between 1953 and 2021. These counties comprise the Central Sands Groundwater County Collaborative (GSGCC), which...

Results of regional study characterizing the elemental composition of rocks found at the Wonewoc-Tunnel City contact interval in west-central and southwest Wisconsin.

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.

Report, maps, and GIS data cataloging the groundwater and hydrogeologic conditions in Kewaunee County's Town of Lincoln.

The Wisconsin Groundwater-Level Monitoring Network consists of 93 wells and 2 spring gaging stations. This report documents work performed on seven of the wells between August 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017, and appendices provide historical reference documents.

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.

In 2012, Chippewa County commissioned the Wisconsin Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey to conduct a 5-year study of the groundwater resources in the western part of the county. This 4-page publication describes the study and the computer models being developed for it.
