102 <br />handbook provides water quality practitioners with the information necessary to identify suitable <br />agricultural BMPs for agricultural watershed in Minnesota.Website <br />Minnesota Department of Health. 2014. Aquifer Test Database Design Documents. <br />These are database design documents generated by the Aquifer Test Workgroup whose members <br />included representatives of Federal, State and Local Agencies. This database is designed to satisfy <br />the needs of the various groups to track aquifer tests performed in Minnesota. These tests are <br />primarily conducted on high-capacity wells but may include tests of other types of wells such as those <br />used for domestic supply, or groundwater contamination. The purpose collecting and managing the <br />information is to provide robust scientifically -justified support to decision -makers at all levels to <br />promote the wise use of water resources and protect drinking water and the environment. This <br />database is a filing system for all data collected during a test, not just a list of calculated aquifer <br />properties. <br />Minnesota Department of Health. 2015. County Well Index. http://www.health.state.mn. <br />us/divs/eh/cwi/. <br />The CWI database contains basic information, such as location, depth, and static water level, for wells <br />drilled in Minnesota. The database contains construction and geological information from the well <br />record (well log) for many wells. CWI Online also provides mapping of wells onto aerial photos, <br />allowing users to visually identify well locations. Website. <br />Minnesota Department of Health - Well Management. Special Well and Boring <br />Construction Areas (Formerly known as Special Well Construction Areas and before <br />that "Well Advisories"). http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/wells/swca/. Accessed <br />February 26, 2015. <br />Minnesota Department of Health website describing Special Well and Boring Construction Areas. A <br />Special Well and Boring Construction Area is sometimes also called a well advisory. It is a mechanism <br />which provides for controls on the drilling or alteration of public and private water -supply wells, and <br />monitoring wells in an area where groundwater contamination has, or may, result in risks to the public <br />health. The purposes of a Special Well and Boring Construction Area are to inform the public of <br />potential health risks in areas of groundwater contamination, provide for the construction of safe water <br />supplies, and prevent the spread of contamination due to the improper drilling of wells or borings. <br />Website <br />Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 1989. Drought of 1988. Saint Paul, <br />Minnesota. <br />The 1988 drought broke long-standing records; strained water use controversies; enhanced public <br />concern about water resources; and generally challenged the energies, talents and perseverance of <br />water managers and the public at large. <br />Little could be done to manage natural disasters such as the 1988 drought; however impacts can be <br />managed and minimized. Although drought impacts are very damaging to some industries and the <br />environment, it also creates the opportunity to learn and improve future ability to manage such crises. <br />Website <br />Minnesota DNR - Division of Fisheries.
