Potential Hydrologic Impacts of a Tar-Sand Industry in 11 Special Tar Sand Areas in Eastern Utah

Description: From purpose and scope: This report summarizes the hydrology in and near the 11 Special Tar Sand Areas which were designated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The 11 areas are in eastern Utah where normal annual precipitation generally ranges from less than 6 to about 20 inches and runoff is minimal.

U.S. Geological Survey Research in Radioactive Waste Disposal--Fiscal Year 1981

Description: Abstract: The report summarizes progress on geologic and hydrologic research related to the disposal of radioactive wastes. The research is described according to whether it is related most directly to (1) high-level and transuranic wastes; (2) low-level wastes, or (3) uranium mill tailings. Included is research applicable to the identification and geohydrologic characterization of waste-disposal sites, to investigations of specific sites where wastes have been stored, and to studies of regions… more

An Assessment of the Collection and Analysis of Hydrologic Data by Private Contractors for the U.S. Geological Survey

Description: From abstract: During fiscal years 1978 through 1981, the U.S. Geological Survey contracted for the acquisition and analysis of hydrologic data from 104 surface water stations, 26 ground water stations, and 15 precipitation gages as well as for several hundred miscellaneous surface water measurements of flow and water quality. The work was performed in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, terminating at the end of the fiscal year 1981. This report is an assessment of … more

Regional Hydrology of the Dolores River Basin, Eastern Paradox Basin, Colorado and Utah

Description: From introduction: The purpose of the investigation was to compile and interpret available hydrologic data, with principal emphasis on the hydrologic relation of the water resources with respect to the salt deposits, in order to serve as a basis for more detailed evaluations of potential repository sites.

Characteristics of Suspended Sediment in the San Juan River Near Bluff, Utah

Description: From purpose and scope: In 1980, collection of suspended-sediment records was terminated at station 09379500. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the records that were collected and to describe suspended-sediment characteristics in the San Juan River near Bluff based on those records.

Regional Hydrology of the Blanding-Durango Area, Southern Paradox Basin, Utah and Colorado

Description: Purpose and Scope: The purpose of this report is to describe the regional hydrogeologic systems in the Blanding-Durango area and to establish their relationship to help assess salt as an effective storage medium for radioactive wastes. Interpretations are based principally on existing data; however, well inventories, phreatophyte mapping and stream-flow measurements were made during 1978, 1979, and 1980.

Hydrology of Coal-Resource Areas in the Southern Wasatch Plateau, Central Utah

Description: From purpose and scope: The hydrology of coal-resource areas in the southern Wasatch Plateau in central Utah (fig. 1) was studied by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The study area contains large coal reserves, and much of the area was unleased for mining in 1980. In general, study objectives were to define the surface- and ground-water hydrology and to predict, where possible, the effects of coal mining on the hydrologic system. Watersheds and … more

Reconnaissance of the Geohydrology of the Moab-Monticello Area Western Paradox Basin, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah

Description: From introduction: The purpose of this report is to define surface-water and ground-water hydrology of the Moab-Monticello area in sufficient detail to be part of the data base to determine the feasibility of storing nuclear waste in salt deposits associated with salt anticlines. The investigation primarily used existing data and reports, with minor supplementation from reconnaissance inventories and measurements.

Methods for Estimating Peak Discharge and Flood Boundaries of Streams in Utah

Description: From introduction: This report contains methods for estimating peak discharges and flood boundaries of streams in Utah. The peak-discharge information can be used for a wide variety of projects ranging from the design of bridges, culverts, dams, and embankments to detailed flood-plain and flood-insurance studies based on complex hydraulic characteristics of the stream and valley. The equations for estimating flood depth can be used for a simple, rapid approximation of flood-prone areas.

Three-Dimensional Digital-Computer Model of the Principal Ground-Water Reservoir of the Sevier Desert, Utah

Description: Abstract: A three-dimensional finite-difference digital model was used to simulate the principal ground-water reservoir of the Sevier Desert. The model was calibrated against steady-state water levels, aquifer tests, and measured water-level changes from 1952 to 1982. The calibrated model can be used to project future water-level changes assuming various ground-water development options.

Plan of Study for the Regional Aquifer Systems Analysis of the Upper Colorado River Basin in Colorado, Utah, Wyomingm and Arizona

Description: Abstract: Water shortages are expected in the Upper Colorado River Basin because of increasing water demands for various uses. Ground-water supplies can help to reduce water shortages but ground-water reservoirs have not been studied in detail. The regional aquifer systems analysis of the Upper Colorado River Basin is a study of the major ground-water resources of the region. Aquifers occur in the sedimentary rock sequences in basins and uplifted regions, in volcanic-rock regions, and in stream… more
