WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
INTRODUCTION
Water resources data for the 1977 water year for Minnesota consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This report, in two volumes, contains discharge records for 79 gaging stations; stage only records for 1 gaging station; stage and contents for 4 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 21 gaging stations, 1 partial-record station, 4 lakes, and 65 wells; and water levels for 18 observation wells. Also included are 39 crest-stage partial- record stations and 35 low-flow partial-record stations. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not involved in the systematic data collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Minnesota.
Records of discharge or stage of streams, and contents or stage of lakes and reservoirs were first published in a series of U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States." Through September 30, 1960, these water-supply papers were in an annual series and then in a 5-year series for 1961-65 and 1966-70. Records of chemical quality, water temperatures, and suspended sediment were published from 1941 to 1970 in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled "Quality of Surface Waters of the United States." Records of ground-water levels were published from 1935 to 1974 in a series of water-supply papers entitled "Ground-Water Levels in the United States." Water-supply papers may be consulted in the libraries of the principal cities in the United States or may be purchased from Branch of Distribution, U.S. Geological Survey, &fr4—Sotrtn" Pl'gketti Street, Alexandram, Virgityfea 227Crt.
I >..<'* ^ £;\A-i ST< cl . ft'r(jt ?-. f-<i *•, ( /y.; p * -;u r >-,For water years 1961 through 1974, streamflow data were' released by the Geological Survey in
annual reports on a State-boundary basis. Water-quality records for water years 1964 through 1974 were similarly released either in separate reports or in conjunction with streamflow records. Be ginning with the 1975 water year, water data for streamflow, water quality, and ground water are published as an official Survey report on a State-boundary basis. These official Survey reports carry an identification number consisting of the two letter State abbreviation, the last two digits of the water year, and the volume number. For example, this report is identified as "U.S. Geological Survey Water-Data Report MN-77-1." Water-Data reports are for sale by the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, Springfield, VAfg-inira 22161.
COOPERATION *
The U.S. Geological Survey and organizations of the State of Minnesota have had cooperative agreements for the systematic collection of streamflow records since 1909, for ground-water levels since 1948, and for water-quality records since 1952.

2 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
Assistance in the form of funds or services was given by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, in collecting records for 45 gaging stations and 14 water-quality stations published in this report.
Several gaging stations in the Hudson Bay and St. Lawrence River basins were maintained by funds appropriated to the United States Department of State.
On waters adjacent to the international boundary, certain gaging stations are maintained by the United States (or Canada) under agreement with Canada (or the United States), and the records are obtained and compiled in a manner equally acceptable in both countries. These stations are designated herein as "International gaging stations."
Assistance in the form of funds or services was given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in collecting records for 7 gaging stations in this report.
Some records for the Red River of the North, which border the State on the west, were obtained at the request of other Federal agencies as a part of the program of the U.S. Department of the Interior for development of the Missouri River basin.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Minnesota district personnel who contributed significantly to the collection and preparation of the data in this report were: E. G. Giacomini, chief, hydrologic data section, assisted by C. E. Cornelius, D. W. Ericson, J. H. Hess, J. L. Zirbel, M. R. Have, and Alex Brietkrietz.
HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
Annual runoff was below normal during the 1977 water year. Monthly mean discharges for October through February were record low. An earlier than usual snowmelt caused near normal flows for March but then near record low discharges persisted through August. Flow during September continued low for stations in the Red River of the North basin and the annual runoff was near record low. Through out the remainder of the area, monthly flows for September were considerably above normal. At many of these stations the runoff during September exceeded the total runoff for the first eleven months of the water year. Annual runoff at these streams was deficient but not at record low. There was record high monthly discharges for September for streams along the north shore of Lake Superior.
Ground-water levels were generally below average throughout the year. Water-levels rose in March and July but remained below average.
Precipitation for October-December was about 2.5 inches below normal and near normal for the rest of the year. Monthly and annual mean discharge is compared with median discharge for the period 1941-70 at three representative gaging stations in figure 2.
.-c -sj- i ' DEFINITION OF TERMS
Terms related to streamflow, water-quality, and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined below. See also table for converting Eagiish units to International System of units (SI) on the inside of the back cover. I
Acre-foot (AC-FT, acre-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or about 326,000 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters.
" Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy donor in cellular life process. Its central role in living cells makes it an excellent indicator of the presence of living material in water. A measure of ATP therefore provides a sensititve and rapid estimate of biomass. ATP is reported in micrograms per liter of the original water sample.
Algae are mostly aquatic single-celled, colonial, or multi-celled plants, containing chlorophyll and lacking roots, stems, and leaves.
Algal growth potential (AGP) is the maximum algal dry weight biomass that can be produced in a natural water sample under standardized laboratory conditions. The growth potential is the algal biomass present at stationary phase and is expressed as milligrams dry weight of algae produced per liter of sample.
Aquifer is a geologic formation, group of formations, or part of a formation that contains suf ficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs.
Artesian means confined and is used to describe a well in which the water level stands above the top of the aquifer tapped by the well. A flowing artesian well is one in which the water level is above the land surface.
Bacteria are microscopic unicellular organisms, typically spherical, rod like, or spiral and threadlike in shape, often clumped into colonies. Some bacteria cause disease, others perform an essential role in nature in the recycling of materials; for example, by decomposing organic matter into a form available for reuse by plants.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977 3
Total conform bacteria are a particular group of bacteria that are used as indicators of possible sewage pollution. They are characterized as aerobic or facultative anaerobic, gram- negative, nonspore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria which ferment lactose with gas formation within 48 hours at 35°C. In the laboratory these bacteria are defined as the organisms which produce colonies with a golden-green metallic sheet within 24 hours when incubated at 35°C i 1.0°C on M-Endo medium (nutrient medium for bacterial growth). Their concentrations are expressed as number of colonies per 100 mL of sample.
Fecal coliform bacteria are bacteria that are present in the intestine or feces of warm blooded animals. They are often used as indicators of the sanitary quality of the water. In the laboratory they are defined as all organisms which produce blue colonies within 24 hours when incubated at 44.5°C J: 0.2°C on M-FC medium (nutrient medium for bacterial growth). Their concentrations are expressed as number of colonies per 100 mL of sample.
Fecal streptoGoccal bacteria are bacteria found also in the intestine of warmblooded animals. Their presence in water is considered to verify fecal pollution. They are characterized as gram- positive, cocci bacteria which are capable of growth in brain-heart infusion broth. In the laboratory they are defined as all the organisms which produce red or pink colonies within 48 hours at 35°C 1 1.0°C on M-FC medium (nutrient medium for bacterial growth). Their concentrations are expressed as number of colonies per 100 mL of sample.
Bed material is the unconsolidated material of which a streambed, lake, pond, reservoir, or estuary bottom is composed.
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is a measure of the quantity of dissolved oxygen, in milligrams per liter, necessary for the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms, such as bacteria.
Biomass is the amount of living matter present at any given time, expressed as the mass per unit area or volume of habitat.
Ash mass is the mass or amount of residue present after the residue from the dry mass determination has been ashed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 500°C for 1 hour. The ash mass values of zooplankton and phytoplankton are expressed in grams per cubic meter (g/m-3 ), and periphyton and benthic organisms in grams per square meter (g/m2 ).
Dry mass refers to the weight of residue present after drying in an oven at 60°C for zoo- plankton and 105°C for periphyton, until the mass remains unchanged. This mass represents the total organic matter, ash and sediment, in the sample. Dry mass values are expressed in the same units as ash mass.
Organic mass or volatile mass of the living substance is the difference between the dry mass and the ash mass, and represents the actual mass of the living, matter. The organic mass is ex pressed in the same units as for ash mass and dry mass.
Wet mass is the mass of living matter plus contained water.
Bottom material: See Bed Material.
Cells/volume refers to the number of cells or any organism which is counted by using a microscope and grid or counting cell. Many planktonic organisms are multicelled and are counted according to the number of contained cells per sample, usually milliliters (mL) or liters (L).
Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second for 24 hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, approximately 1.9835 acre-feet, or about 646,000 gallons or 2,44? cubic meters.
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure of the chemically oxidizable material in the water, and furnishes an approximation of the amount of organic and reducing material present. The determined value may correlate with natural water color or with carbonaceous organic pollution from sewage or industrial wastes.
Chlorophyll refers to the green pigments of plants. Chlorophyll a and b are the two most common pigments in plants.
Color unit is produced by one milligram per liter of platinum in the form of the chloroplatinate ion. Color is expressed in units of the platinum-cobalt scale.
Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir or lake. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage.
Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stage-discharge relationat the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, an artificial structure,or a uniform cross .section over a long reach of the channel.
Cubic feet per second per square mile (CFSM) is the average number of cubic feet of water flow ing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff is distributed uniformly in time and area.
4 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
Cubic foot per second (FT^/s, ft^/s) is the rate of discharge representing a volume of 1 cubic foot passing a given point during 1 second and is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons per second or 448.8 gallons per minute or 0.02832 cubic meters per second.
Discharge is the volume of water (or more broadly, volume of fluid plus suspended sediment), that passes a given point within a given period of time.
Mean discharge (MEAN) is the arithmetic mean of individual daily mean discharges during a specific period.
Instantaneous discharge is the discharge at a particular instant of time.
Dissolved refers to the amount of substance present in true chemical solution. In practice, how ever, the term includes all forms of substance that will pass through a 0.45-micrometer membrane filter, and thus may include some very small (coloidal) suspended particles. Analyses are performed on filtered samples.
Diversity index is a numerical expression of evenness of distribution of aquatic organisms. The formula for diversity index is:
Where nj, is the number of individuals per taxon, n is the total number of individuals, and s is the total number of taxa in the sample of the community. Diversity index values range from zero, when all the organisms in the sample are the same, to some positive number, when some or all of the organisms in the sample are different.
Drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, enclosed by a topographic divide from which direct surface runoff from precipitation normally drains by gravity into the river above the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing areas, within the area unless otherwise noted.
Drainage basin is a part of the surface of the earth that is occupied by a drainage system, which consists of a surface stream or a body of impounded surface water together with all tributary surface streams and bodies of impounded surface water.
Gage height (G.H.) is the water-surface elevation referred to some arbitrary gage datum. Gage height is often used interchangeably with the more general term "stage," although gage height is more appropriate when used with a reading on a gage.
Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations of hydrologic data are obtained.
Hardness of water is a physical-chemical characteristic that is commonly recognized by the in creased quantity of soap required to produce lather. It is attributable to the presence of alkaline earths (principally calcium and magnesium) and is expressed as equivalent calcium carbonate (CaCOo).
Hydrologic unit is a geographic area representing part or all of a surface drainage basin or distinct hydrologic feature as delineated by the Office of Water Data Coordination on the State Hydrologic Unit Maps; each hydrologic unit is identified by an 8-digit number.
Metamorphic stage refers to the stage of development that an organism exhibits during its transformation from an immature form to an adult form. This developmental process exists for most insects, and the degree of difference from the immature stage to the adult form varies from relatively slight to pronounced, with many intermediates. Examples of metamorphic stages of insects are egg- larva-adult or egg-nymph-adult.
Methylene blue active substance (MBAS) is a measure of apparent detergents. This determination depends on the formation of a blue color when methylene blue dye reacts with synthetic detergent compounds.
Micrograms per gram (ug/g) is a unit expressing the concentration of a chemical element as the mass (micrograms) of the element sorbed per unit mass (gram) of sediment.
Micrograms per liter (UG/L, ug/L) is a unit expressing the concentration of chemical consitit- uents in solution as mass (micrograms) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. One thousand micrograms per liter is equivalent to one milligram per liter.
Milligrams per liter (MG/L, mg/L) is a unit for expressing the concentration of chemical con stituents in solution. Milligrams per liter represent the mass of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in mg/L, and is based on the mass of sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture.
Organism is any living entity, such as an insect, phytoplankter, or zooplankter.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977 5
Organism count/area refers to the number of organisms collected and enumerated in a sample and adjusted to the number per area habitat, usually square meters (m2 ), acres, or hectares. Periphyton benthic organisms, and macrophytes are expressed in these terms.
Organism count/volume refers to the number of organisms collected and enumerated in a sample and adjusted to the number per sample volume, usually milliters (mL) or liters (L). Numbers of planktonic organisms can be expressed in these terms.
Total organism count is the total number of organisms collected and enumerated in any particular sample.
Partial-record station is a particular site where limited streamflow and/or water-quality data are collected systematically over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.
Particle size is the diameter, in millimeters (mm), of suspended sediment or bed material determined by either sieve or sedimentation methods. Sedimentation methods (pipet, bottom-withdrawal tube, visual-accumulation tube) determine fall diameter of particles in either distilled water (chemically dispersed) or in native water (the river water at the time and point of sampling).
Particle-size classification used in this report agrees with recommendations made by the American Geophysical Union Subcommittee on Sediment Terminology.
The classification is as follows:
Classification Size (mm) Method of analysis
Clay.......... 0.0002*1 - 0.004 Sedimentation.Silt.......... .004 - .062 Sedimentation.Sand.......... .062 - 2.0 Sedimentation or sieve.Gravel........ 2.0 - 64.0 Sieve.
The particle-size distributions given in this report are not necessarily representative of all particles in transport in the stream. Most of the organic material is removed and the sample is subjected to mechanical and chemical dispersion before analysis in distilled water. Chemical dispersion is not used for native-water analysis.
Percent composition is a unit for expressing the ratio of a particular part of a sample or population to the total sample or population, in terms of types, numbers, mass or volume.
Periphyton is the assemblage of microorganisms attached to and growing upon solid surfaces. While primarily consisting of algae, they also include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, rotifers, and other small organisms. Periphyton is a useful indicator of water quality.
Pesticides are chemical compounds used to control undesirable plants and animals. Major cat egories of pesticides include insecticides, miticides, fungicides, herbicides, and rodenticides. Insecticides and herbicides, which control insects and plants respectively, are the two categories reported.
Picocurie (PC, pCi) is one trillionth (1 x10~ 12 ) of the amount of radioactivity represented by a curie (Ci).A curie is the amount of radioactivity that yields 3.7 x 10 1U radioactive disintegra tions per second. A picocurie yields 2.22 dpm (disintegrations per minute).
Plankton is the community of suspended, floating, or weakly swimming organisms that live in the open water of lakes and rivers.
Phytoplankton is the plant part of the plankton. They are usually microscopic and their movement is subject to the water currents. Phytoplankton growth is dependent upon solar radiation and nutrient substances. Because they are able to incorporate as well as release materials to the surrounding water, the phytoplankton have a profound effect upon the quality of the water. They are the primary food producers in the aquatic environment, and are commonly known as algae.
Blue-green algae are a group of phytoplankton organisms having a blue pigment, in addition to the green pigment called chlorophyll. Blue-green algae often cause nuisance conditions in water.
Diatoms are the unicellular or colonial algae having a siliceous shell. Their con centrations are expresssed as number of cells/mL of sample.
Green algae have chlorophyll pigments similar in color to those of higher green plants. Some forms produce algal mats or floating "moss" in lakes. Their concentrations are expressed as number of cells/mL of sample.
Zooplankton is the animal part of the plankton. Zooplankton are capable of extensive movements within the water column, and are often large enough to be seen with the unaided eye. Zooplankton are secondary consumers feeding upon bacteria, phytoplankton, and detritus. Because they are the grazers in the aquatic environment, the zooplankton are a vital part of the aquatic food web. The zooplankton community is dominated by small crustaceans and rotifers.
6 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial chemicals that are mixtures of chlorinated biphenyl compounds having various percentages of chlorine. They are similar in structure to organochlorine insecticides.
Primary productivity is a measure of the rate at which new organic matter is formed and accumulated through photosynthetic and chemosynthetic activity of producer organisms (chiefly green plants). The rate of primary production is estimated by measuring the amount of oxygen released (oxygen method) or the amount of carbon assimilated by the plants (carbon method).
Milligrams of carbon per area or volume per unit time [mg C/(m^ time) for periphyton and macrophytes and mg C/(nP time)] for phytoplanktonare units for expressing primary productivity. They define the amount of carbon dioxide consumed as measured by radioactive carbon (carbon 14). The carbon 14 method is of greater sensitivity than the oxygen light and dark bottle method, and is preferred for use in unenriched waters. Unit time may be either the hour or day, depending on the incubation period.
Milligrams of oxygen per area or volume per unit time [mg 02/(m^. time) for periphyton and macrophytes and mg 02/im.£ time)] for phytoplanktonare theunits for" expressingprimarypro- ductivity. They define production and respiration rates as estimated from changes in the measured dissolved oxygen concentration. The oxygen light and dark bottle method is preferred if the rate of primary production is sufficient for accurate measurements to be made within 24 hours. Unit time may be either the hour or day, depending on the incubation period.
Runoff in inches (IN, in) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the runoff for a given time period were uniformly distributed on it.
Sediment.is solid material that originates mostly from disintegrated rocks and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited from water; it includes chemical and biochemical precipitates and decomposed organic material, such as humus. The quantity, characteristics, and cause of the occurrence of sediment in streams are influenced by environmental factors, Some major factors are degree of slope, length of slope, soil characteristics, land usage, and quantity and intensity of precipitation.
Suspended sediment is the sediment that at any given time is maintained in suspension by the upward components of turbulent currents or that exists in suspension as a colloid.
Suspended-sediment concentration is the velocity-weighted concentration of suspended sediment in the sampled zone (from the water surface to a point approximately 0.3 ft above the bed) ex pressed as milligrams of dry sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture (mg/L).
Suspended-sediment discharge (tons/day) is the rate at which dry weight of sediment passes a section of a stream or is the quantity of sediment, as measured by dry weight or volume, that passes a section in a given time. It is computed by multiplying discharge times mg/L times 0.0027.
Suspended-sediment load is quantity of suspended sediment passing a section in a specified period.
Total sediment discharge (tons/day) is the sum of the suspended-sediment discharge and the bed-load discharge. It is the total quantity of sediment, as measured by dry weight or volume, that passes a section during a given time.
Mean concentration is the time-weighted concentration of suspended sediment passing a stream section during a 24-hour day.
Solute is any substance derived from the atmosphere, vegetation, soil, or rocks that is dissolved in water.
Specific conductance is a measure of the ability of a water to conduct an electrical current. It is expressed in micromhos per centimeter at 25°C. Specific conductance is related to the type and concentration of ions in solution and can be used for approximating the dissolved-solids content of the water. Commonly, the concentration of dissolved solids (in milligrams per liter) is about 65 percent of the specific conductance (in micromhos). This relation is not constant from stream to stream, and it may vary in the same source with changes in the composition of the water.
Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height (stage) and volume of water per unit of time, flowing in a channel.
Streamflow is the discharge that occurs in a natural channel. Although the term "discharge" can be applied to the flow of a canal, the word "streamflow" uniquely describes the discharge in a surface stream course. The term "streamflow" is more general than "runoff" as streamflow may be applied to discharge whether or not it is affected by diversion or regulation.
Substrate is the physical surface upon which an organism lived.
Natural substrates refers to any naturally occurring emersed or submersed solid surface, such as a rock or tree, upon which an organism lived.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977 7
Artificial substrate is a device which is purposely placed in a stream or lake for coloni zation of organisms. The artificial substrate simplifies the community structure by standardizing the substrate from which each sample is taken. Examples of artificial substrates are basket samplers (made of wire cages filled with clean streamside rocks) and miltiplate samplers (made of hardboard) for benthic organism collection, and plexiglass strips for periphyton collection.
Surface area of a lake is that area outlined on the latest U.S.G.S. topographic map as the boundary of the lake and measured by a planimeter in acres. In localities not covered by topographic maps, the areas are computed from the best maps available at the time planimetered. All areas shown are those for the stage when the planimetered map was made.
Surficial bed material is that part (0.1 to 0.2 ft) of the bed material that is sampled using U.S. Series Bed-Material Samplers.
Suspended (as used in tables of chemical analyses) refers to the amount (concentration) of the total concentration in a water-sediment mixture. The water-sediment mixture is associated with (or sorbed on) that material retained on a 0.45 micrometer filter.
Taxonomy is the division of biology concerned with the classification and naming of organisms. The classification of organisms is based upon a hierarchical scheme beginning with Kingdom and ending with Species at the base. The higher the classification level, the fewer features the organisms have in common. For example, the taxonomy of a particular mayfly, Hexagenia limbata is the following:
Kingdom.................AnimalPhylum..............ArthropodaClass.................. InsectsOrder............EphemeropteraFamily............EphermeridaeGenus................HexageriaSpecies......Hexagenia limbata
Time-weighted average is computed by multiplying the number of days in the sampling period by the concentrations of individual constituents for the corresponding period and dividing the sum of the products by the total number of days. A time-weighted average represents the composition of water that would be contained in a vessel or reservoir that had received equal quantities of water from the stream each day for the year.
Tons per acre-foot indicates the dry mass of dissolved solids in 1 acre-foot of water. It is computed by multiplying the concentration in milligrams per liter by 0.00136.
Tons per day is the quantity of substance in solution or suspension that passes a stream section during a 24-hour day.
Total load (tons) is the total quantity of any individual constituent, as measured by dry mass or volume, that is dissolved in a specific amount of water (discharge) during a given time. It is computed by multiplying the total discharge, times the mg/L of the constituent, times the factor 0.0027, times the number of days.
Weighted average is used in this report to indicate discharge-weighted average. It is computed by multiplying the discharge for a sampling period by the concentrations of individual constituents for the corresponding period and dividing the sum of the products by the sum of the discharge. A discharge-weighted average approximates the composition of water that would be found in a reservoir containing all the water passing a given location during the water year after thorough mixing in the reservoir.
WRD is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Resources Data" in the REVISED RECORDS paragraph to refer to State annual basic-data reports published before 1975.
WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to previously published reports.
DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBER
Since October 1, 1950, the order of listing hydrologic-station records in Survey reports is in a downstream direction along the main stream. All stations on a tributary entering upstream from a main-stream station are listed before that station. A station on a tributary that enters between two main-stream stations is listed between them. A similar order is followed in listing stations on first rank, second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. The rank of any tributary on which a station is situated with respect to the stream to which it is immediately tributary is indicated by an indention in a list of stations in the front of the report. Each indention represents one rank. This downstream order and system of indention show which stations are on tributaries between any two stations and the rank of the tributrary on which each station is situated.
As an added means of identification, each hydrologic station and partial-record station has been assigned a station number. These are in the same downstream order used in this report. In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between partial-record stations and other stations; therefore, the station number for a partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types of stations. Gaps are left in the series of numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence, the numbers are not consecutive. The complete 8-digit number for each station such as 03041000, which appears just to the left of the station name, includes the 2-digit part number "03" plus the 6-digit downstream order number "041000".
8 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR WELLS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES
The 8-digit downstream order station numbers are not assigned to wells and miscellaneous sites where only random water-quality samples or discharge measurements are taken.
The well and miscellaneous site numbering system of the U.S. Geological Survey is based on the grid system of latitude and longitude. The system provides the geographic location of the well or miscellaneous site and a unique number for each site. The number consists of 15 digits. The first 6 digits denote the degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude, the next 7 digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of longitude, and the last 2 digits (assigned sequentially) identify the wells or other sites within a 1-second grid. See figure 1 below.

SPECIAL NETWORKS AND PROGRAMS
Hydrologic bench-mark station is one that provides hydrologic data for a basin in which the hydrologic regimen will likely be governed solely by natural conditions. Data collected at a bench mark station may be used to separate effects of natural from manmade changes in other basins which have been developed and in which the physiography, climate, and geology are similar to those in the undeveloped bench-mark basin.
National stream-quality accounting network (NASQAN) is a data collection network designed by the U.S. Geological Survey to meet many of the information demands of agencies or groups involved in national or regional water-quality planning and management. Both accounting and broad-scale monitoring objectives have been incorporated into the network design. Areal configuration of the network is based on river-basin accounting units (identified by 8-digit hydrologic-unit numbers) designated by the Office of Water Data Coordination in consultation with the Water Resources Council. Primary objectives of the network are (1) to depict areal variability of streamflow and water-quality conditions nationwide on a year-by-year basis and (2) to detect and assess long-term changes in streamflow and stream quality.
Pesticide program is a network of regularly sampled water-quality stations where samples are collected to determine the concentration and distribution of pesticides in streams where potential contamination could result from the application of the commonly used insecticides and herbicides. Operation of the network is a Federal interagency activity.
Radiochemical program is a network of regularly sampled water-quality stations where samples are collected to be analyzed for radioisotopes. The streams that are sampled represent major drainage basins in the conterminous United States.
Tritium network is a network of stations which has been established to provide baseline infor mation on the occurrence of tritium in the Nation's surface waters. In addition to the surface- water stations in the network, tritium data are also obtained at a number of precipitation stations. The purpose of the precipitation stations is to provide an estimate sufficient for hydrologic studies of the tritium input to the United States.
EXPLANATION OF STAGE AND WATER-DISCHARGE RECORDS
Collection and computation of data
The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements of discharge of streams or canals, and stage, surface area, and contents of lakes or reservoirs. In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation or the stage-capacity re lation, weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the daily flow or volume of water in storage. Records of stage are obtained from either direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives either a continuous graph of the fluctuations or a tape punched at selected time intervals. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter, using the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey. These methods are described in standard text-books, in Water-Supply Paper 888, and in U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations, book 3, chapter A6.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977 9
For stream-gaging station, rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge relation curves. If extensions to the rating curves are necessary to express discharge greater than measured, they are made on the basis of indirect measurements of peak discharge (such as slope-area or contracted-opening measurements, computation of flow over dams or weirs), step-backwater techniques, velocity-area studies, and logarithmic plotting. The daily mean discharge is computed from gage heights and rating tables, then the monthly and yearly mean discharge are computed from the daily figures. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual change in the physical features that form the control, the daily mean discharge is computed by the shifting-control method, in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and notes by «ggi«ooiaff and observers are used.in applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharg^relation for a station is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the.'cpntrol, the daily mean discharge is computed by what is basically the shifting-control method. JU L , ,, r .. '
At some stream-gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by the backwater from reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in computing discharge. The slope or fall is obtained by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage; at these stations the rate of change in stage is used as a factor in computing discharge.
At some northern stream-gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice in the winter, and it becomes impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of gage-height record and occasional winter discharge measurements. Consideration is given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and hydrologists, and comparable records of discharge for other stations in the same or nearby basins.
For a lake or reservoir station, capacity tables giving the contents for any stage are preparedfrom stage-area relation curves defined by surveys. The application of the stage to the capacitytable gives the contents, from which the daily, monthly, or yearly change in contents is computed.
If the stage-capacity curve is subject to changes because of deposition of sediment in the reservoir, periodic resurveys of the reservoir are necessary to define new stage-capacity curves. During the period between reservoir surveys the computed contents may be increasingly in error due to the gradual accumulation of sediment.
For some gaging stations there are periods when no gage-height record is obtained or the recorded gage height is so faulty that it cannot be used to compute daily discharge or contents. This happens when the recorder stops or otherwise fails to operate properly, intakes are plugged, the float is frozen in the well, or for various other reasons. For such periods the daily discharges are estimated on the basis of recorded range in stage, prior and subsequent records, discharge measurements, weather records, and comparison with records for other stations in the same or nearby basins. Likewise daily contents maybe estimated on the basis of operator's log prior and subsequent records, inflow-outflow studies, and other information.
The data in this report generally comprise a description of the station and tabulations of daily and monthly figures. For gaging stations on streams or canals a table showing the daily dis charge and monthly and yearly discharge is given. For gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs a monthly summary table of stage and contents or a table showing the daily contents is given. Tables of daily mean gage heights are included for some streamflow stations and for some reservoir stations. Records are published for the water year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30.
The description of the gaging station gives the location, drainage area, period of record, notations of revisions of previously published records, type and history of gages, general remarks, average discharge, and extremes of discharge or contents. The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from most accurate maps available. River mileage, given under "LOCATION" for some stations, is that determined and used by the Corps of Engineers or other agencies. Periods for which there are published records for the present station or for stations generally equivalent to the present one are given under "PERIOD OF RECORD."
Previously published streamflow records of some stations have been found to be in error on the basis of data or information later obtained. Revisions of such records are usually published along with the current records in one of the annual or compilation reports. In order to make it easier to find such revised records, a paragraph headed "REVISED RECORDS" has been added to the description of all stations for which revised records have been published. Listed herein are all the reports in which revisions have been published, each followed by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the water years only one number is given; for instance, 1965 stands for the water year October 1, 1964, to September 30, 1965. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are affected by the revision, the fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are published, a revision of the drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches resulting from a revision of the drainage area only are usually not published in the annual series of reports.
10 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
The type of gage currently in use, the datum of the present gage above mean sea level, and acondensed history of the types, locations, and daturas of previous gages used during the period ofrecord are given under "GAGE." In references to datum of gage, the phrase "mean sea level" denotes"Sea Level Datum of 1929" as used by the Topographic Division of the Geological Survey unless
^otherwise qualified.
Information pertaining to the accuracy of the discharge records and to conditions which affect the natural flow of the gaging station is given under "REMARKS." For reservoir stations information on the dam forming the reservoir, the capacity, outlet works and spillway, and purpose and use of the reservoir is given under "REMARKS."
The average discharge for the number of years indicated is given under "AVERAGE DISCHARGE"; it is not given for stations having fewer than 5 complete years of record or for stations where changes in water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. In addition, the median of yearly mean discharges is given for stream-gaging stations having 10 or more complete years of record if the median differs from the average by more than 10 percent. Under "EXTREMES" are given first, the extremes for the period of record, second, information available outside the period of record, and last, those for the current year. Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge (or contents) is the instantaneous maximum corresponding to the crest stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder (graphic or digital), a crest-stage gage, or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage height did not occur on the same day as the maximum discharge (or contents) , it is given separately. Similarly, the minimum is the instantaneous minimum unless otherwise qualified. For some stations peak discharges are listed with "EXTREMES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR"; if they are, all independent peaks, including the maximum for the year, above the selected base with the time of occurrence and corresponding gage heights are published in tabular format. The base discharge, which is given in the table heading, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak discharges are not published for any canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. Time of day is expressed in 24-hour local standard time; for example, 12:30 a.m. is 0030, 1:30 p.m. is 1330. The minimums for these stations are published in a separate paragraph following the table of peaks.
Skeleton rating tables are published, immediately following EXTREMES, for stream-gaging stations where they serve a useful purpose and the dates of applicability can be easily identified.
The daily table for stream-gaging stations gives the mean discharge for each day and is followed by monthly and yearly summaries. In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "TOTAL" gives the sum of the daily figures. The line headed "MEAN" gives the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. The lines headed "MAX" and "MIN" give the maximum and minimum daily discharges, respectively, for the month. Discharge for the month also may be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "CFSM"), or in inches (line headed "IN"), or in acre-feet (line headed "AC-FT"). Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if there is extensive regulation or diversion, if the drainage area includes large noncontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is usually less than 20 inches. In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures shown are the appropriate daily discharges for the calendar and water years.
Footnotes to the table of daily discharge are introduced by the word "NOTE." Footnotes are used to indicate periods for which the discharge is computed or estimated by special methods because of no gage-height record, backwater from various sources, or other unusual conditions. Periods of no gage-height record are indicated if the period is continuous for a month or more or includes the \ maximum discharge for the year. Periods of backwater from an unusual source, of indefinite stage-fr* relation, or of any other unusual condition at the gage site are indicated only if they are a month or more in length and the accuracy of the records is affected. Days on which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice are not indicated. The methods used in computing discharge for various unusual conditions have been explained in preceding paragraphs.
For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a descripiton of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs a table showing daily contents or stage is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages is published for all reservoirs for which records are published on a daily basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are given.
Data collected at partial-record stations follow the information for continuous record sites. Data for partial-record discharge stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the second is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. The tables of partial-record stations are followed by a listing of discharge measurements made at sites other than continuous-record or partial-record stations. Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage gains or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an area. Such measurements are also given in special tables follow ing the tables of partial-record stations.
Accuracy of field data and computed results
The accuracy of streamflow da\a depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, and (2) the accuracy of observations of sta&e, ^Measurements of discharge, and interpretations of records.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977 11
The station description under "REMARKS" states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" means that about 95 percent of the daily discharges are within 5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; and "fair" within 15 percent. "Poor" means that daily discharges have less than "fair" accuracy.
;-Figures of daily mean discharge in this report <are shown to the nearest hundredth of a cubic
foot per second for discharges of less than 1 ofvl to tenths between 1.0 and lO^efs; to whole numbers between 10 and 1,000 ef*-; and to 3 significant figures above 1,000 ef»a-. The number of significant figures used is based solely on the magnitude of the figure. The same rounding rules apply to discharge figures listed for partial-record stations.
Discharge at many stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may not reflect natural runoff due to the effects of diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evap oration due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff in inches are not published unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for changes in contents of reservoirs, or for other changes incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless it is so stated. Even at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff may occur if adjustments or losses are large in comparison with the ooserved discharge.
Other data available
Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations such as observations of water temperatures, discharge measurements, gage-height records, and rating tables is on file in the district office. Also most gaging-station records are available in computer-usable form and many statistical analyses have been made.
Information on the availability of unpublished data or statistical analyses may be obtained from the district office.
EXPLANATION OF WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
Collection and examination of data
Surface water samples for analyses usually are collected at or near gaging stations. The quality-of-water records are given immediately following the discharge records at these stations.
The descriptive heading for water-quality records gives the period of record for all water- quality data; the period of daily record for parameters that are measured on a daily basis (specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, sediment discharge, etc.), extremes for the period of daily record; extremes for the current year; and general remarks.
For ground-water records, no descriptive statements are given; however, the well number, depth of well, date of sampling and/or other pertinent data are given in the table containing the chemical analyses of the ground water.
Water analysis
Most methods for collecting and analyzing water samples are described in the U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations listed on a following page.
One sample can define adequately the water quality at a given time if the mixture of solutes throughout the stream cross section is homogeneous. However, the concentration of solutes at different locations in the cross section may vary widely with different rates of water discharge, depending on the source of material and the turbulence and mixing of the stream. Some streams must be sampled through several vertical sections to obtain a representative sample needed for an accurate mean concentration and for use in calculating load.
Chemical-quality data published in this report are considered to be the most representative values available for the stations listed. The values reported represent water-quality conditions at the time of sampling as much as possible, consistent with available sampling techniques and methods of analysis. In the rare case where an apparent inconsistency exists between a reported pH value and the relative abundance of carbon dioxide species (carbonate and bicarbonate), the inconsistency is the result of a slight uptake of carbon dioxide from the air by the sample between measurement of pH in the field and determination of carbonate and bicarbonate in the laboratory.
For chemical-quality stations equipped with digital monitors, the records consist of daily maximum, minimum, and mean values for each constituent measured and are based upon hourly punches beginning at 0100 hours and ending at 2*100 hours for the day of record. More detailed records (hourly values) may be obtained from the district office.
Water temperature
Water temperatures are measured at most of the water-quality stations. In addition, water temperatures'are taken at time of discharge measurements for water-discharge stations. For stations where water temperatures are taken manually once or twice daily, the water temperatures are taken at about the same time each day. Large streams have a small daily temperature change; shallow streams may have a daily range of several degrees and may follow closely the changes in air temperature. Some streams may be affected by waste-heat discharges.
12 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR MINNESOTA, 1977
At stations where recording instruments are used, either mean temperatures or maximum and minimum temperatures for each day are published.
Sediment
Suspended-sediment concentrations are determined from samples collected by using depth- intergrating samplers. Samples usually are obtained at several verticals in the cross section, or a single sample may be obtained at a fixed point and a coefficient applied to determine the mean concentration in the cross sections.
During periods of rapidly changing flow or rapidly changing concentration, samples may have been collected more frequently (twice daily or, in some instances, hourly). The published sediment discharges for days of rapidly changing flow or concentration were computed by the subdivided day method (time-discharge weighted average). Therefore, for those days when the published sediment discharge value differs from the value computed as the product of discharge times mean concentration times 0.0027, the reader can assume that the sediment discharge for that day was computed by the subdivided day method. For periods when no samples were collected, daily loads of suspended sediment were estimated on the basis of water discharge, sediment concentrations observed immediately before and after the periods, and suspended-sediment loads for other periods of similar discharge.
At other stations, suspended-sediment samples were collected periodically at many verticals in the stream cross section. Although data collected periodically may represent conditions only at the time of observations, such data are useful in establishing seasonal relations between quality and streamflow in predicting long-term sediment-discharge characteristics of the stream.
In addition to the records of the quantities of suspended sediment, records of the periodic measurements of the particle-size distribution of the suspended sediment and bed material are included.
EXPLANATION OF GROUND-WATER LEVEL RECORDS
Collection of the data
Only ground-water level data from a basic network of observation wells are published herein. This basic network contains observation wells so located that the most significant data are obtained from the fewest wells in the most important aquifers.
Each well is identified by means of (1) a 15-digit number that is based on latitude and longitude and (2) a local number that is provided for local needs. See figure 1.
Measurements are made in many types of wells, under varying conditions of access and at different temperatures, hence, neither the method of measurement nor the equipment can be standardized. At each observation well, however, the equipment and techniques used are those that will ensure that measure ments at each well are consistent.
Water-level measurements in this report are given in feet with reference to either mean sea level (msl) or land-surface datum (Isd). Mean sea level is the datum plane on which the national network of precise levels is based; land-surface datum is a datum plane that is approximately at land surface at each well. If known, the altitude of the land-surface datum above mean sea level is given in the well description. The height of the measuring point (MP) above or below land- surface datum is given in each well description. Water levels in wells equipped with recording gages are reported for every fifth day and the end of each month (eom).
Water levels are reported to as many significant figures as can be justified by the local conditions. For example, in a measurement of a depth to water of several hundred feet, the error in determining the absolute value of the total depth to water may be a few tenths of a foot, whereas the error in determining the net change of water level between successive measurements may be only a hundredth or a few hundredths of a foot. For lesser depths to water the accuracy is greater. Accordingly, most measurements are reported to a hundredth of a foot, but some are given only to a tenth of a foot or a larger unit.
NOTE:
PUBLICATIONS ON TECHNIQUES OF WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS !3
Thirty-four manuals by the U.S. Geological Survey have been published to date in the series -on techniques describing procedures for planning and executing specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material is grouped under major subject headings called books and is further divided into sections and chapters. For example. Section A of Book 3 (Applications of Hydraulics) is on surface water. The chapter, the unit of publication, is limited to a narrow field of subject matter. This format permits flexibility in revision and publication as the need arises.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 21?
As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the number of 8tr«aa-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gating stations. When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis orer a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or flood-flow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In-addition, discharge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. These measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage to those events. Those measurements and others collected for some special reason are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.
Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table of dis charge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations and the second is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-atage stations. Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third table.
Low-flow partial-record stations
Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partial-record stations are given in the following table. These measurements were made during periods of base flow when streamflow is pri marily from ground-water storage. These measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream when continuous records are available, will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of a stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements were made at the same, or practically the same, site.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 221
Crest-stage partial-record stations
The following table contains annual maximum discharge for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current •eter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on some lower floods may have been obtained, and discharge measurements may have been Bade for purposes of establishing the stage-discharge relation, but these are not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.
