Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of water in western Utah, Part I: Sink Valley area, drainage basins of Skull, Rush, and Government Creek Valleys, and the Dugway Valley-Old River Bed area
This report presents data collected during the first part of an investigation that was started in 1963 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey. The investigation has the purpose of providing information about the chemical quality of water in western Utah that will help interested parties to evaluate the suitability of the water for various use

Ground-water resources of northern Juab Valley, Utah
This report gives the results of an investigation of the ground-water resources of northern Juab Valley, Utah, that was carried out between June 1964 and July 1966, by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer. The study was made in order to provide water users, administrators, and other interested parties with information on the character and extent of the water-bear

Ground-water conditions in Cedar Valley, Utah County, Utah
This study of the ground-water conditions in Cedar Valley, Utah, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer during the period July 1965-July 1966. The purposes of the study were to estimate the recharge to and the yield of the ground-water reservoir and to determine the direction of ground-water movement through Cedar Valley.

Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1966
This report is the third in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series are prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Water and Power Board and are designed to provide data to enable interested parties such as legislators, administrators, and planners to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions.This report, like t

Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey water-resources reports for Utah
This bibliography contains a complete listing to December 1966 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, Ut
Water from bedrock in the Colorado Plateau of Utah
The bedrock aquifers in the Colorado Plateau of Utah supply water that ranges widely in chemical quality and yield. The range of dissolved solids in 649 samples collected from 534 wells, springs, and water-yielding mine tunnels was from less than 100 to more than 390.000 ppm (parts per million). The yield of wells ranged from less than 1 to 54,000 barrels of water per day (less than 1 to 1,600 gal

Ground-water resources of selected basins in southwestern Utah
The purpose of this investigation was to correlate the results of past studies in parts of five developed basins in southwestern Utah and to give a unified concept of ground-water conditions in the entire area. The area of investigation comprises about 3,600 square miles in Washington, Iron, Beaver, and Millard Counties, including the five developed basins - Beaver, Cedar City, and Parowan Valleys

Systems for monitoring and digitally recording water-quality parameters
Digital recording of water-quality parameters is a link in the automated data collection and processing system of the U.S. Geological Survey. The monitoring and digital recording systems adopted by the Geological Survey, while punching all measurements on a standard paper tape, provide a choice of compatible components to construct a system to meet specific physical problems and data needs. As man
