Abstract
Springs are places where groundwater is returned naturally
to the surface and are a place to study the state of the groundwater in the aquifer system. In southeast
Minnesota, springs are outlets in a conduit flow system in both carbonate and siliciclastic bedrock
formations. They provide baseflow for streams and are a critical source of cold, relatively constant temperature
water for trout.
This report and associated database summarizes the results of various projects, inquiries, and
studies over the years during which MGS staff investigated the location and stratigraphic position of
southeastern Minnesota springs. It was produced as part of a contract between MDNR and MGS. The
primary contract deliverable is a GIS feature class that contains the essential data from our
hydrostratigraphic work. We have also placed notes associated with many of our interpretations into
Appendix A of this report.
