ABSTRACT:

The volume of water in 213 small wetlands on 648 ha of the Altamont moraine in northeastern South Dakota was measured in April 1982, immediately after the vernal thaw. Water depths were measured to the nearest cm at intervals along transects through each wetland. The surface area of each wetland was obtained from low-level, black-and-white aerial photographs obtained at the same time the water depth measurements were made. The 213 wetlands comprised 50% of the water surface area that occurred in the study area and contained an estimated 19.58 ha-m (158.7 acre-feet) of water. The data are discussed in relation to what is known about prairie wetland hydrology. Values of intact prairie wetlands should be given serious consideration in water resource planning and development in the glaciated prairie region.
