This report is the second in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. It includes individual discussions of the most important areas of ground-water withdrawal in the State for the claendar year of 1964. Water-level fluctuations, however, are described for the period spring 1964 through spring 1965.The report was prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey

This article was compiled largely from a technical report on ground-water conditions in the Jordan Valley which was prepared as part of a cooperative program between the Utah State Engineer and the U.S. Geological Survey to study the water resources of Utah. If you would like to read the more detailed technical discusion, see “Geology and Ground-Water Resources of the Jordan Valley, Utah” by I. We

The Snake Valley area is a north-trending narrow depression that extends about 135 miles along the central Nevada-Utah border. The area covers about 3,480 square miles. Within the area, the principal ground-water reservoir is in the unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary and Tertiary age that underlie about 1.2 million acres. Carbonate rocks of Paleozoic age may form another reservoir system and lo

This study of the geohydrology of Tooele Valley, Utah, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer during the period 1958-63. The purpose of the study was to update an earlier investigation of ground water in Tooele Valley made by the Geological Survey during 1940-42 (Thomas, 1946). The construction of approximately 256 wells in the valley since 1940, many of

Thomas (Hunt and others, 1953) compiled and evaluated a large amount of ground- and surface-water data for northern Utah Valley for the years prior to 1948. This report, which was prepared as part of the Statewide cooperative program between the Utah State Engineer and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to be a progress report which updates Thomas' work through 1963.

The Walla Walla River, whose drainage basin of about 1,330 square miles lies astride the Washington-Oregon boundary, drains westward to empty into the Columbia River. The basin slopes from the 5,000-foot crest of the Blue Mountains through a structural and topographic basin to the terraced lands adjoining the Columbia River at an altitude of about 340 feet. The main unit of the topographic basin i

Burleigh County in south-central North Dakota lies within the Missouri River Trench, Coteau Slope, and Missouri Coteau physiographic districts of the Glaciated Missouri Plateau section. Subdivisions of the Coteau Slope in Burleigh County are the Burnt Creek, Badger Creek Uplands, Lake McKenzie Basin, Long Lake, Apple Creek Uplands, Long Lake Basin, and Painted Woods Creek subdistricts.

The purpose of this manual is to familiarize field personnel with the procedures involved in operating crest-stage gaging stations. Crest-stage gages are used to determine the elevation of a peak stage occurring at a specific location in a stream. A crest-stage gage consists of a length of 14-inch diameter pipe installed in a vertical position in the stream channel (figure 1). The pipe is vented a

The purpose of the ground-water investigation of Dane County, Wis., was to determine the occurrence, movement, quantity, quality, and availability of ground water in the unconsolidated deposits and the underlying bedrock. The relationships between ground water and surface water were studied in general in Dane County and in detail in the Madison metropolitan area. An analysis was made of the hydrol
