Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey water-resources reports for Utah Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey water-resources reports for Utah

This bibliography contains a complete listing to June 30, 1980, of reports relating to the water resources of Utah prepared by personnel of the U.S. Geological Survey. Discussions of the related subjects of geology, hydrology, and chemical quality of the water are included in many of the reports. The reports were, for the most part, prepared by personnel assigned to the Water Resources...

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...

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...

Results of hydraulic tests in wells DOE-1, 2, 3, Salt Valley, Grand County, Utah Results of hydraulic tests in wells DOE-1, 2, 3, Salt Valley, Grand County, Utah

Three exploratory wells were drilled for geological, geophysical, and hydrological purposes in Salt Valley, Grand County, Utah. Cap rock, salt, and interbeds of the Paradox Member of the Hermosa Formation of Middle Pennsylvanian age were penetrated. The observed depth below land surface of the cap rock-salt interface ranges from 163 meters (m) to 191 meters. Approximately the upper 100...

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...

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...
