“…Specifically, this report describes: (1) areal extents, recharge areas, and hydraulic properties of the Buffalo and Wahpeton aquifers; (2) hydraulic connections between the aquifers and the sources of recharge; and (3) recharge to the aquifers by induced leakage from nearby rivers, by vertical leakage from precipitation, and by horizontal leakage of ground water through adjacent hydrogeologic units. Maclay and others (1972) and Reeder (1978) described the water resources of the Red River of the North drainage basin. Byers and others (1946) and Dennis and others (1949) provide early scientific descriptions of the Buffalo aquifer near the Moorhead, Minnesota, area.…”

Declining hydraulic heads in the Buffalo and Wahpeton aquifers are of concern to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and local water managers because of limited groundwater resources in the southern part of the Red River of the North drainage basin. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Moorhead Public Service, investigated the hydrogeology of and sources of recharge to the Buffalo and Wahpeton aquifers. The potential sources of recharge to the Wahpeton aquifers investigated were the Red River of the North, and adjacent hydro geologic units. The volume of ground water pumped from the Wahpeton aquifers provides an estimate of the upper limit for the volume of recharge to the aquifer. Based on pumpage from all of the Wapheton aquifers from 1990 to 1993, the upper limit is about 580 million gallons per year (2.4 x 10 cubic feet per day).
