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.

Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area, Utah Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area, Utah
Data obtained during a hydrologic reconnaissance in 1975-77 in the Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area of Utah were correlated with existing long-term data. Maps were prepared showing average precipitation, average streamflow, stream temperature, ground- and surface-water quality, sediment yield, and geology. Recommendations were made for additional study and suggested...

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...

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...

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...

Ground-water data for the Beryl-Enterprise area, Escalante Desert, Utah Ground-water data for the Beryl-Enterprise area, Escalante Desert, Utah
This report contains a compilation of selected ground-water data for the Beryl-Enterprise area, Iron and Washington Counties, Utah. The records of the wells include such information as driller's logs, yield, drawdown, use, and temperature of the well water. There are also records of water levels in selected wells for the period 1973-79, chemical analyses of ground water, records of...

Digital-computer model of the principal ground-water reservoir in Beryl-Enterprise area, Escalante Desert, Utah Digital-computer model of the principal ground-water reservoir in Beryl-Enterprise area, Escalante Desert, Utah
The computer model presented in this report was used to simulate the principal ground-water reservoir in the Beryl-Enterprise area, Escalante Desert, Beaver, Iron, and Washington Counties, Utah (Mower, 1981). The details of the formulation of the model, testing of its validity, and the results of predictions are discussed in the cited report. This report was prepared as part of a...

Hydrologic studies of the U.S. Geological Survey in major coal-resource areas of Utah through 1980 Hydrologic studies of the U.S. Geological Survey in major coal-resource areas of Utah through 1980
Increased interest in coal has created greater interest in water, both for environmental and water-supply reasons. This report summarizes hydrologic studies conducted in and near the major coal fields of Utah (fig. 1) by the U.S. Geological Survey through 1980. It is intended as a reference for those people dealing with coal-related hydrologic problems. Published reports and reports in...

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, 1960-1978 Utah water use data: Public water supplies, 1960-1978
This report was prepared as a part of the Statewide cooperative water-resources investigation program administered jointly by the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights and the United States Geological Survey. The program is conducted to meet the water administration and water-resources data needs of the State, as well as the water information needs of many units...
