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...

Regional hydrology of the Green River-Moab area, northwestern Paradox basin, Utah Regional hydrology of the Green River-Moab area, northwestern Paradox basin, Utah

The Green River-Moab area encompasses about 7,800 square kilometers or about 25 percent of the Paradox basin. The entire Paradox basin is a part of the Colorado Plateaus that is underlain by a thick sequence of evaporite (salt) beds of Pennsylvanian age. The rock units that underlie the area have been grouped into hydrogeologic units based on their water-transmitting ability. Confining...

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...

Test drilling for fresh water in Tooele Valley, Utah Test drilling for fresh water in Tooele Valley, Utah

A test-drilling program in Tooele Valley, Utah, was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights. The basic data and interpretation of each test hole are included in this report. Results obtained from the test drilling were used in a comprehensive ground-water investigation of the valley fill (Razem and...

Seepage study of the Sevier River and the Central Utah, McIntyre, and Leamington Canals, Juab and Millard Counties, Utah Seepage study of the Sevier River and the Central Utah, McIntyre, and Leamington Canals, Juab and Millard Counties, Utah

A study of the gains or losses of the Sevier River and the Central Utah, McIntyre, and Leamington Canals in the Leamington area, in Juab and Millard Counties, Utah, was made to determine changes in those reaches. Three to seven sets of seepage measurements made during 1980 were used in the analysis. Adjustments for fluctuations in flow were made from information obtained from water-stage...

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...

Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1981 Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1981

This is the eighteenth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions. This report, like the others in the series, contains information on well...

Hydrologic reconnaissance of the southern Great Salt Lake Desert and summary of the hydrology of west-central Utah Hydrologic reconnaissance of the southern Great Salt Lake Desert and summary of the hydrology of west-central Utah

This report is the last of 19 hydrologic reconnaissances of the basins in western Utah. The purposes of this series of studies are (1) to analyze available hydrologic data and describe the hydrologic system, (2) to evaluate existing and potential water-resources development, and (3) to identify additional studies that might be needed. Part 1 of this report gives an estimate of recharge...
