Geohydrologic sections, Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho Geohydrologic sections, Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho
This report was prepared as a part of a study of the ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho. The study by the U.S. Geo- logical Survey was made during 1967-70 in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Soil Conservation Service cooperated by providing services; and counties, cities...

Geology and water resources of the Spanish Valley area, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah Geology and water resources of the Spanish Valley area, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah
This water-resources investigation was initiated in order to provide an estimate of the average annual water yield of the Mill Creek-Pack Creek drainage basin, the parts of that total yield available as surface water and ground water, the amount of ground water that might be recovered for beneficial use, and the effect of this use on the usable ground-water storage within the valley fill...

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...

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...

Periodic water- and air-temperature records for Utah streams, 1966-70 Periodic water- and air-temperature records for Utah streams, 1966-70
Since 1967, all Geological Survey hydrographers have been instructed to observe and record the water and air temperatures at times when water-discharge measurements were being made at stream-gaging stations in Utah. The frequency of these observations generally varies from I to 5 weeks, depending upon the magnitude of the stream flow. This report summarizes the periodic water and air...

Ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho Ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho
This report is based on a study that was designed to provide information to enable the water managers and users in Cache Valley to develop, conserve, and administer their water resources. The report is primarily about the ground water in the valley, but it also includes a discussion of the relation of ground water to surface water and presents a general water-budget analysis for the...

Water-resources investigations in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah-Colorado, fiscal year 1970 Water-resources investigations in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah-Colorado, fiscal year 1970
Water-resources data were acquired during fiscal year 1970 by the U.S. Geological Survey at Dinosaur National Monument, Utah-Colorado, for the U.S. National Park Service as part of a continuing project. The data provide a basis for planning the development, management, and use of the available water resources to provide adequate water supplies. Thirty-one springs, 19 in relatively...
