Ground-water hydrology of the San Pitch River drainage basin, Sanpete County, Utah Ground-water hydrology of the San Pitch River drainage basin, Sanpete County, Utah
The San Pitch River drainage basin in central Utah comprises an area of about 850 square miles; however, the investigation was concerned primarily with the Sanpete and Arapien Valleys, which comprise about 250 square miles and contain the principal ground-water reservoirs in the basin. Sanpete Valley is about 40 miles long and has a maximum width of 13 miles, and Arapien Valley is about...

Reconnaissance of selected minor elements in surface waters of the United States, October 1970 Reconnaissance of selected minor elements in surface waters of the United States, October 1970
A nationwide reconnaissance of selected minor elements in water resources of the 50 States and Puerto Rico was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife during autumn, 1970. Initiated in response to the growing need for data on minor elements in water, including toxic metals, the synoptic survey provides an up-to-date baseline...

Nonthermal springs of Utah Nonthermal springs of Utah
Data are presented for about 4,500 nonthermal springs that discharge in the State of Utah. Most major springs having discharge of several cubic feet per second or more are in or near mountain ranges or plateaus where precipitation is much greater than in other parts of the State. The largest instantaneous discharge observed at any spring was 314 cfs at Mammoth Spring in southwestern Utah...
