Norvitch ABSTRACT The alluvial channel deposits described in this report are in Nobles County, Minn., about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Although four municipalities and many farms obtain part or all of their water needs from the alluvium, it has not yet been fully developed for ground water. The extent of the alluvial channel deposits was mapped on high-altitude aerial photographs, and a power auger was used to bore 43 test holes to determine the thickness of alluvium and the water level at each of the test sites.

The magnitude and seasonal variation of 11 selected physio­ chemical characteristics at four collection sites in the headwater region of the Little Sioux River are reported for a 12-month perod from March 1969 through February 1970. Little variation was found between study sites for given sampling times. For several decades the headwaters and adjacent terrestrial areas of the Little Sioux River have been th object of considerable scientific investigation. This study, by students in summer courses at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, has resulted in limited informa­ tion through publication.
