Uranium transport in the Walker River Basin, California and Nevada Uranium transport in the Walker River Basin, California and Nevada
During the summer of 1976 waters from tributaries, rivers, springs and wells were sampled in the Walker River Basin. Snow and sediments from selected sites were also sampled. All samples were analyzed for uranium and other elements. The resulting data provide an understanding of the transport of uranium within a closed hydrologic basin as well as providing a basis for the design of...

Appraisal of water resources in the Fort McDermitt Indian Reservation, Humboldt County, Nevada Appraisal of water resources in the Fort McDermitt Indian Reservation, Humboldt County, Nevada
Consideration of land-management alternatives in parts of the Fort McDermitt Indian Reservation has prompted an evaluation of water resources in the reservation and vicinity. The study area comprises (1) about 9 square miles of reservation land, plus adjacent areas, on and bordering the floor of Quinn River valley near McDermitt, Nev., and (2) the uninhabited 5.6-square-mile Hog John...

Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas. The steady-state pumping rate from the ground-water basin is defined as the rate that just balances ground-water...
