U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Minnesota

Nearly 700 million gallons of ground water are withdrawn every day in Minnesota, mostly for public supply, irrigation, and domestic and commercial use. About 94 percent of the public water-supply systems in the State use ground water and 75 percent of all Minnesotans obtain their domestic supplies from ground water. The major issues related to this important resource in Minnesota are: Availability of ground water and effects of developing water supplies from wells in buried-drift aquifers, Ground-water contamination from hazardous wastes, and Effects of land use on ground-water quality.

Minnesota ground-water quality

This report contains summary information on ground-water quality in one of the 50 States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, Saipan, Guam, and American Samoa. The material is extracted from the manuscript of the 1986 National Water Summary , and with the exception of the illustrations, which will be reproduced in multi-color in the 1986 National Water Summary , the format and content of this report is identical to the State ground-water-quality descriptions to be published in the 1986 National Water Summary . Release of this information before formal publication in the 1986 National Water Summary permits the earliest access by the public.
