This report was prepared as a part of the Statewide cooperative water-resources investigation program administered jointly by the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights and the United States Geological Survey.  The program is conducted to meet the water administration and water-resources data needs of the State, as well as the water information needs of many units of govern

This is the seventeenth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions.This report, like the others in the series, contains information on well construction,

This bibliography contains a complete listing to June 30, 1980, of reports relating to the water resources of Utah prepared by personnel of the U.S. Geological Survey. Discussions of the related subjects of geology, hydrology, and chemical quality of the water are included in many of the reports. The reports were, for the most part, prepared by personnel assigned to the Water Resources Division, U

A two-dimensional, finite-difference digital-computer model was used to simulate the ground-water flow in the principal artesian aquifer in Tooele Valley, Utah. The parameters used in the model were obtained through field measurements and tests, from historical records, and by trial-and-error adjustments. The model was calibrated against observed water-level changes that occurred during 1941-50, 1

Three exploratory wells were drilled for geological, geophysical, and hydrological purposes in Salt Valley, Grand County, Utah. Cap rock, salt, and interbeds of the Paradox Member of the Hermosa Formation of Middle Pennsylvanian age were penetrated. The observed depth below land surface of the cap rock-salt interface ranges from 163 meters (m) to 191 meters. Approximately the upper 100 meters of c

The water-quality reconnaissance in the Dirty Devil River basin, covered an area of about 4,300 square miles (11,100 square kilometers). were obtained by the U.S. Geological Survey one or more times at 104 during the period July 1975 to September 1976; and during visits to 34 sites during the same period, the streams were dry.

Ground water in the Navajo Sandstone near Caineville, Wayne County, Utah, was studied during 1975-77 as part of an investigation of water in bedrock in the lower Dirty Devil River basin area. The purpose of the study near Caineville was to determine the water-bearing properties of the Navajo by utilizing data obtained mainly during test drilling and aquifer testing by the Intermountain Power Proje
