Activities in 'South Dakota'

Black Hills (-SD)
description: A 10-year project is assessing the quality and quantity of ground water and surface water in the Black Hills area. The Black Hills are an important recharge area for major bedrock aquifers in the northern Great Plains. Most of the Black Hills are covered by National Forest, and numerous mines, including the Homestake gold mine in Lead, SD, occur throughout the central Precambrian core of the Black Hills. Active and abandoned mines have an impact on ground water and surface water in the region.
