“…This report proposes additional work needed to determine the flow of water in the alluvial aquifer and the flow of water between the Missouri River and the aquifer that is, identifying a ground-water flow model for determining the general relation of the river to the alluvial aquifer; identifying the type of information needed for the model selected; and proposing a means of obtaining the necessary information. A description of the ground-water-flow system in the study area is based on data presented in Buchmiller (1986).…”

“…The preliminary design of the proposed model is based on analysis and interpretations of the available ground-water data base that is described in Buchmiller (1986) and on assumptions about the flow system that may be changed as additional information becomes available.…”

“…The first phase of this investigation was to determine the extent of available information on surface-water and ground-water resources within the study area. This phase was completed in September 1985 and a report (Buchmiller, 1986) was produced. The report detailed the extent of available information within the study area and the investigations that have been conducted to date.…”

A groundwater flow model and plan for obtaining supporting data are proposed for a part of the Missouri River alluvial aquifer in Woodbury and Monona Counties, Iowa. The proposed model and the use of the principle of superposition will aid in the interpretation of the relation between ground water and surface water in the study area, particularly the effect of lowered river stages on water levels in the alluvial aquifer. Information on the geometry, hydraulic characteristics, and water levels in the alluvial aquifer needs to be collected for use in the model and for model calibration. A plan to obtain hydrologic and geologic information by use of exploratory test-well drilling is proposed. Also proposed is a monitoring network to obtain information on the spatial and temporal variability of water levels within the study area.

The collection of hydrologic data and the investigation and assessment of the quantity, quality, and use of surface-and ground-water resources are major components of the mission of the Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey. To accomplish this mission, the Iowa District is organized into a district office and two field offices. These offices are geographically located in the State to provide access and response to hydrologic events and to maintain liaison with cooperating State and Federal agencies. The Iowa District technical staff is organized into two major sections: (1) the Hydrologic Surveillance Section, which maintains the systematic hydrologic data programs for the State; and (2) the Hydrologic Studies Section, which investigates and assesses the quantity, quality, and use of the State's water resources.The Hydrologic Surveillance Section maintains a network of hydrologic data collection sites and compiles hydrologic data collected from these sites for public distribution. These hydrologic data include records of stage and discharge of principal rivers and tributaries, chemistry and suspended sediment concentration of selected rivers, ground-water levels and water-quality of principal aquifers, precipitation chemistry, and surface-and ground-water use. Data from this network are compiled and entered in the National Water Information System data base, located in Reston, Virginia, and are published annually in the report series "Water Resources Data, Iowa".The Iowa District has made substantial progress in developing a real-time hydrologic data base. Surface-and ground-water data at selected sites are transmitted to the Iowa District central hydrologic data base at regular intervals using satellite or ground data relay systems. This information is accessible to scientists or water managers to assess current hydrologic conditions. The development of a comprehensive real-time hydrologic network for the State is a goal of a the Iowa District for the 1990's.The Hydrologic Studies Section conducts investigations and assessments of the surface-and ground-water resources of Iowa which is accomplished through a series of diversified projects. Each project is managed by a designated project chief who is responsible for managing the investigative aspects of the project, maintaining a project budget, and providing public access to the findings of the project.New projects planned for the Iowa District for the 1990's include:Estimating design flood discharges for Iowa using drainage basin and channel geometry characteristics.Investigation of the occurrence of pesticide non-active ingredients in soil and water.Assessment of water quality of surface water impoundments.The effects of land use practices on water resources and the effect of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on surface-and ground-water quality is a growing public concern in Iowa. The Iowa District presently is conducting several State and Federally supported projects relating the effects of agricultural chemical use to the State's water resource...
