Ground-Water Hydrology and Projected Effects of Ground-Water Withdrawals in the Sevier Desert, Utah

The principal ground-water reservoir in the Sevier Desert is the unconsolidated basin fill. The fill has been divided generally into aquifers and confining beds, although there are no clearcut boundaries between these units--the primary aquifers are the shallow and deep artesian aquifers. Recharge to the ground-water reservoir is by infiltration of precipitation; seepage from streams, canals, reservoirs, and unconsumed irrigation water; and subsurface inflow from consolidated rocks in mountain areas and from adjoining areas. discharge is by wells, springs, seepage to the Sevier River, evapotranspiration, and subsurface outflow to adjoining areas

Coal Resource Occurrence and Coal Development Potential Maps of the Northeast Quarter Wagon Box Mesa Quadrangle, Garfield County, Utah

This text is to be used in conjunction with Coal Resource Occurrence (CRO) and Coal Development Potential (CDP) Maps of the Northeast Quarter of the Wagon Box Mesa 15-minute quadrangle, Garfield County, Utah. These maps and report were compiled to support the land planning work of the Bureau of Land Management and to provide a systematic coal resource inventory of Federal coal lands in the Henry Mountains Known Recoverable Coal Resource Areas (KRCRA\u27s), Utah. Consequently, only those geologic features relevant to coal occurrences are described herein

Coal Resource Occurrence and Coal Development Potential Maps of the Northeast Quarter of the Mt. Pennell 15-Minute Quadrangle, Garfield County, Utah

This investigation was undertaken by Dames & Moore, Salt Lake City, Utah, at the request of the U.S. Geological Survey under contract number 14-08-0001-17489. The resource information gathered for this report is in response to the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-377). Published and unpublished public information available through June, 1979, was used as the data base for this study. Neither drilling nor field mapping was performed; nor were any confidential data used

Reconnaissance of the Quality of Surface Water in the San Rafael River Basin, Utah

The water-quality reconnaissance of the San Rafael River basin, Utah, encompassed an area of about 2,300 square miles (5,960 square kilometers). Data were obtained by the U.S. Geological Survey one or more times at 116 sites from June 1977 to September 1978. At 19 other sites visited during the same period, the streams were dry. Precipitation and stream discharge were significantly less then normal during 1977 and ranged from less than to more than normal during 1978

A Case for Site Acclimation in the Reintroduction of the Endangered Razorback Sucker (Xyrauchen Texanus)

Two site-acclimation studies (Mueller and Marsh 1998, Foster and Mueller 1999) were conducted in 1997 and 1998. The primary emphasis was habitat use and dispersal but we also examined if the rapid dispersal, typically associated with hatchery-produced razorback suckers (suckers), could be mitigated by allowing fish a period of time to recover from stocking-induced stress. Findings of those studies and existing physiological literature suggest that current stocking protocols may subject stocked fish to unnecessary behavioral or physiological stress that could impact performance and ultimately survival. This report presents those findings and recommends an evaluation of existing stocking procedures for the sucker

Selected Hydrologic Data for the Central Virgin River Basin Area, Washington and Iron Counties, Utah 1915-97

Hydrologic data were collected in Washington and Iron Counties, Utah, from 1995 to 1997 to better understand the hydrologic system. Data from earlier years also are presented. Data collected from wells include well-completion data, water-level measurements, and physical properties of the water. Data collected from springs and surface-water sites include discharge and physical properties of the water. Selected water samples collected from ground- and surface-water sites were analyzed for isotopes, chlorofluorocarbons and dissolved gases

Geologic Map and Coal Sections of the Red Point Quadrangle, Emery County, Utah

Red Point quadrangle, in Emery County in central Utah, was mapped in 1979 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey\u27s program to evaluate land in the public domain for potential coal leasing

Preliminary Geologic Map of the Kanab 30 by 60 Minute Quadrangle, Utah-Arizona

This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature

Water-Resources Studies in Utah July 1, 1980 to June 30, 1981

This report summarizes the progress on water-resources studies in Utah by the U.S. Geological Survey during the period July 1, 1980, to June 30, 1981. Much of the work was done in cooperation with the State of Utah or local agencies. Additional supporting funds were transferred from other Federal agencies or appropriated directly to the Geological Survey
