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.

Digital-computer model of ground-water flow in Tooele Valley, Utah Digital-computer model of ground-water flow in Tooele Valley, Utah
A two-dimensional, finite-difference digital-computer model was used to simulate the ground-water flow in the principal artesian aquifer in Tooele Valley, Utah. The parameters used in the model were obtained through field measurements and tests, from historical records, and by trial-and-error adjustments. The model was calibrated against observed water-level changes that occurred during...

Seepage study of the West Side and West Canals, Box Elder County, Utah Seepage study of the West Side and West Canals, Box Elder County, Utah
A study of the gains or losses of the West Side and West Canals from Cutler Reservoir to near Penrose, Box Elder County, Utah, was made to aid in water allocation for the canal system. Four sets of seepage measurements made in 1978 were used in the analysis. Adjustments for fluctuations in flow in the canals were made from information obtained from water-stage recorders operated at...

Hydrologic and climatologic data, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, water year 1978 Hydrologic and climatologic data, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, water year 1978
This report contains data collected in the vicinity of the oil-shale area in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, from Oct. 1, 1977, to Sept. 30, 1978. The data presented in tables, include monthly precipitation, depth-duration of rainfall, snow depth and water content, air temperature, daily streamflow records, water-quality data from continuous-recording gaging sites, water...

Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1979 Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1979
This report is the sixteenth 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...

Hydrology and surface morphology of the Bonneville Salt Flats and Pilot Valley Playa, Utah Hydrology and surface morphology of the Bonneville Salt Flats and Pilot Valley Playa, Utah
The Bonneville Salt Flats and Pilot Valley are in the western part of the Great Salt Lake Desert in northwest Utah. The areas are separate, though similar, hydrologic basins, and both contain a salt crust. The Bonneville salt crust covered about 40 square miles in the fall of 1976, and the salt crust in Pilot Valley covered 7 square miles. Both areas lack any noticeable surface relief...

Hydrologic evaluation of the Alton reclamation-study site, Alton coal field, Utah Hydrologic evaluation of the Alton reclamation-study site, Alton coal field, Utah
This investigation was conducted from July 1974 to September 1977 to define general hydrologic conditions at a reclamation-study site in the Alton coal field near Kanab, Utah. The average annual streamflow through the area was less than 600 acre-feet (0.7 cubic hectometer), and the water carried little sediment except during floods which result from intense local storms. Most of the...

Water resources data for Utah, water year 1978 Water resources data for Utah, water year 1978
Water resources data for the 1978 water year for Utah consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This report contains discharge records for 255 gaging stations; stage and contents for 21 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 34 hydrologic stations, 186 partial...
