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

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

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 this contracting effort from the standpoint of cost and of quality control measures employed to ensure an acceptable product.

Drumming Behavior of Selected North American Stoneflies (Plecoptera) (open access)

Drumming Behavior of Selected North American Stoneflies (Plecoptera)

Drumming is first described for five North American stonefly species, Acroneuria evoluta, Doroneuria baumanni, Isoperla namata, Chernokrilus misnomus, and Pictetiella expansa. Signals of Acroneuria lycorias, Phasganophora capitata and Isoperla signata are further described. Drumming was not recorded from Amhinemura delosa. Signals of A. evoluta are the most complex yet recorded in Plecoptera. Doroneuria baumanni, P. expanse, C. misnomus and P. capitata have 2-way exchanges. Male D. baumanni produce two prolonged beats by rubbing the hammer on the substratum; male-female signals are non-overlapping in the first two species and overlapping in the latter two. Female P. capitata answered with an unusually long sequence of beats. Two male Isoperla species produced monophasic calls without female answers. Female A. lycorias answered taped male signals with monophasic signals like all observed females.

Hydrology of Coal-Resource Areas in the Southern Wasatch Plateau, Central Utah (open access)

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

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 aquifers that were the sole source of supply for public use were to be identified. The objectives were designed to provide the hydrologic information needed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to make sound decisions concerning the leasing of Federal lands for coal mining.

Methods for Estimating Peak Discharge and Flood Boundaries of Streams in Utah (open access)

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

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.

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

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

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-valley alluvium. The project work will include collection and compilation of existing geologic, geophysical, hydrologic, and geochemical data. These data will be used to assess the hydrologic characteristics of the aquifer systems and to estimate the hydrologic effects of discharge from, or recharge to, selected aquifers.

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

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

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.

U.S. Geological Survey Research in Radioactive Waste Disposal--Fiscal Year 1981 (open access)

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

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 or environments where waste-disposal sites might be located. A significant part of the activity is concerned with techniques and methods for characterizing disposal sites and studies of geologic and hydrologic processes related to the transport and (or) retention of waste radionuclides.
