Water resources of Salt Lake County, Utah
This report is the eighth in a series prepared by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, that describes the water resources of the western basins of Utah. (See fig. 1.) Its purpose is to present available hydrologic data on the Park Valley area, to provide an evaluation of the potential water-resource development of the a

Ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho
This report is based on a study that was designed to provide information to enable the water managers and users in Cache Valley to develop, conserve, and administer their water resources. The report is primarily about the ground water in the valley, but it also includes a discussion of the relation of ground water to surface water and presents a general water-budget analysis for the valley. The re

Geology and water resources of the Spanish Valley area, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah
This water-resources investigation was initiated in order to provide an estimate of the average annual water yield of the Mill Creek-Pack Creek drainage basin, the parts of that total yield available as surface water and ground water, the amount of ground water that might be recovered for beneficial use, and the effect of this use on the usable ground-water storage within the valley fill in Spanis

Effects of irrigation on streamflow in the Central Sand Plain of Wisconsin
Development of ground water for irrigation affects streamflow and water levels in the sand-plain area of central Wisconsin. Additional irrigation development may reduce opportunities for water-based recreation by degrading the streams as trout habitat and by lowering lake levels. This study was made to inventory present development of irrigation in the sand-plain area, assess potential future deve

Use of time-lapse photography equipment for hydrologic studies
This report describes equipment used for recording hydrologic events photographically on a controlled time scale. Equipment used included a 16-mm (millimeter) motion-picture camera, batteries, and associated intervalometer hardware.Variables that affected operation of the equipment, and which were used to turn the equipment on and off upon demand, were sunlight intensity, rainfall, and time.

Ground-water resources of Walsh County, northeastern North Dakota
This investigation is part of a statewide program to determine the location, extent, and nature of the ground-water reservoirs (aquifers); to evaluate the occurrence and movement of ground water within these aquifers, including the sources and areas of recharge and discharge; to estimate the potential yields of wells tapping the major aquifers; and to determine the chemical quality of the ground w

Hydrogeology of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota
An investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, was made at the request of the Bureau of Indian Affairs as part of the U.S. Department of the Interior's program for the development of the Missouri River basin. The area of investigation (about 3,930 square miles) includes all the land within the original boundaries of the Reservation,
