But in the dustry of Minneapolis and the history of St. Anthony pioneer days of Minnesota Territory, hauling grain to Falls. With development of the immense water power Minneapolis and St. Anthony was an arduous task, espe­ available at the falls, Minneapolis grew to become the cially during certain seasons of the year. Roads were flour-milling capital of the world, a position it was to poor and often impassable.

The term "flour" is taken from the French In the nineteenth century, Minnehaha Creek, which term "fleur de farine, " which literally means "the flower, or still flows from Gray's Bay in Lake Minnetonka almost finest, of the meal." The word "flouring" or "flowering" was applied to miUs in this country as early as 1797. The suffix, directly eastward to the Mississippi River, was a stream "ing," was added to form a verbal noun, used in this case as an having sufficient flow of water to develop the necessary adjective to describe the type of mill.

Bulletin No. 11 DIVISION OF WATERS MINNESOTA CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT W~TER RESOURCES OF THE MINNEAPOLIS- ST. PAUL METROPOLITAN AREA St. Paul, Minn. August, 1961 1~4 FOREWORD The Twin Cities and their suburbs are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of water to their future growth and development. Midway between the humid east and the arid west, they are not unfavorably situated as regards water supply. Three great rivers bring the water from 45,000 square miles of watershed to their door, and the entire area is underlain by a complex of geologic formations which receive and hold an enormous quantity of water. The supply, however, is not unlimited. The ground water reservoir can be depleted by pumping continuously at rates higher than the rate of natural replenish­ ment. The flow in the streams is variable and at times has reached a low point which would be dangerous if repeated in the future. Yet the demand for water con­ tinues to grow. This bulletin attempts to evaluate quantitatively the water resources and water needs of the metropolitan area. It is based on records of streamflow collected over many years and on analyses of well records and pumping tests which reveal the characteristics of the deeply buried aquifers.
