Estimated Natural Streamflow in the Rio San Jose Upstream from the Pueblos of Acoma and Laguna, New Mexico

Description: From purpose and scope: The purpose of this study was to estimate the natural streamflow in the Rio San Jose at the upstream boundaries of the Pueblos of Acoma and Laguna. Natural streamflow is defined for this study as the streamflow that would have occurred if water development in the basin upstream from the pueblos had never taken place.

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
