Publications
The majority of publications in this section address water resources in Utah or in bordering states. Some of the publications are included because one or more of the authors work at the Utah Water Science Center but have provided expertise to studies in other geographic areas.

Water-resources studies in Utah, July 1, 1981 to June 30, 1982 Water-resources studies in Utah, July 1, 1981 to June 30, 1982
This report summarizes the progress on water-resources studies in Utah by the U.S. Geological Survey during the period July 1, 1981, to June 30, 1982. Much of the work was done in cooperation with the State of Utah or local agencies. Additional supporting funds were transferred from other Federal agencies or appropriated directly to the Geological Survey.

Selected hydrologic data for northern Utah Valley, Utah, 1935-82 Selected hydrologic data for northern Utah Valley, Utah, 1935-82
This report contains hydrologic data collected in northern Utah Valley from 1935 to 1982. Northern Utah Valley is approximately the northern half of an alluvial-filled basin partly occupied by Utah Lake in north-central Utah. The report area is bounded by the Wasatch Range on the east, the Lake Mountains on the west, and the Traverse Mountains on the north. Its southern boundary is the...

Selected hydrologic data, Price River basin, Utah, water years 1979 and 1980 Selected hydrologic data, Price River basin, Utah, water years 1979 and 1980
The Price River basin in east-central Utah includes a significant part of the Wasatch Plateau and Book Cliffs coal-fields area (pi. 1) and currently (1980) is part of the most active coal-mining areas in the State. This report presents data gathered by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a hydrologic study carried out during the water years 1979 and 1980 in cooperation with the U.S...

Preliminary hydrologic evaluation of the North Horn Mountain coal-resource area, Utah Preliminary hydrologic evaluation of the North Horn Mountain coal-resource area, Utah
North Horn Mountain is part of a deeply dissected plateau in central Utah which is characterized by deep, narrow, steep-walled canyons with local relief of more than 1,000 feet. Geologic units exposed in the North Horn Mountain area range in age from Late Cretaceous to Holocene and contain two mineable seams of Cretaceous coal. The area is in the drainage basin of the San Rafael River...

Geochemistry of spring water, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado Geochemistry of spring water, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
The chemical quality of water in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, is important to the future development of the abundant oil-shale resources of the area. This report examines the observed changes in chemistry as water circulates in both shallow and deep ground-water systems. Mass-balance and mass- transfer calculations are used to define reactions that simulate the...

Utah water use data: Public water supplies, 1979 Utah water use data: Public water supplies, 1979
This report presents data for public water suppliers in Utah during 1979. A public water supply system supplies water for human consumption and other domestic uses. It can be publicly or privately owned and includes systems supplying water to cities, subdivisions, federal installations, summer homes, and camping areas. The data were collected through questionnaires mailed to the various...

Bedrock aquifers in the lower Dirty Devil River basin area, Utah, with special emphasis on the Navajo sandstone Bedrock aquifers in the lower Dirty Devil River basin area, Utah, with special emphasis on the Navajo sandstone
The lower Dirty Devil River basin area in southeastern Utah has an area of about 4,300 square miles (11,140 square kilometers) and ranges in altitude from about 3,700 to more than 11,000 feet (1,130 to 3,350 meters) above mean sea level. Precipitation, the main source of water in the area, ranges from slightly less than 6 inches (152 millimeters) per year in the lowlands to more than 30...

Ground-water conditions in the upper Virgin River and Kanab Creek basins area, Utah, with emphasis on the Navajo sandstone Ground-water conditions in the upper Virgin River and Kanab Creek basins area, Utah, with emphasis on the Navajo sandstone
The upper Virgin River and Kanab Creek basins area occupies parts of Iron, Kane, and Washington Counties in south-central Utah. It includes about 1,300 square miles (3,370 square kilometers) in the upper Virgin River basin and about 650 square miles (1,680 square kilometers) in the upper Kanab Creek basin. The area is sparsely populated with Kanab (population about 1,400 in 1975) being...
