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.

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...

Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1980 Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1980
This is the seventeenth 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...

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...

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...

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...
