Evapotranspiration from rapidly growing young saltcedar in the Gila River Valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1981, Open-File Report 81-485
Estimates of evapotranspiration by young saltcedar, based on energy budget measurements, were made for an unfilled portion of the San Carlos Reservoir in east-central Arizona. Foty-eight days of record were obtained before the site was inundated. The young saltcedar, which had grown from seed earlier in the season , had...

Hydrogeochemistry and simulated solute transport, Piceance Basin, northwestern Colorado
S. G. Robson, G.J. Saulnier Jr.
1981, Professional Paper 1196
Oil-shale mining activities in Piceance basin in northwestern Colorado could adversely affect the ground- and surface-water quality in the basin. This study of the hydrology and geochemistry of the area used ground-water solute-transport-modeling techniques to investigate the possible impact of the mines on water quality. Maps of the extent and...
The Geologic Story of Colorado National Monument
Stanley William Lohman
1981, Bulletin 1508
From 1946 until about 1956 I carried out fieldwork intermittently on the geology and artesian water supply of the Grand Junction area, Colorado, the results of which have been published. The area mapped geologically contains about 332 square miles in the west-central part of Mesa County and includes all of...
Magnitude and chemical quality of base flow of Otter Creek, Tongue River, and Rosebud Creek, southeastern Montana, October 26-November 5, 1977
Roger W. Lee, Steven E. Slagle, James R. Stimson
1981, Open-File Report 80-1298
Hydrologic and chemical data were collected during base-flow conditions on three streams in southeastern Montana from October 26 to November 5, 1977, to characterize groundwater discharge. Maximum measured flow of Otter Creek, an interrupted stream, was 1.2 cubic feet per second. The water chemistry was dominated by sodium, magnesium, and...

Reconnaissance samplings and characterization of aquatic humic substances at the Yuma Desalting Test Facility, Arizona
Ronald L. Malcolm, R.L. Wershaw, E.M. Thurman, G. R. Aiken, D.J. Pinckney, J. Kaakinen
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-42
Smectite clay minerals were found to be the principal compound on the surface of the cellulose-acetate, reverse-osmosis membranes at the Yuma Desalting Test Facility. These clay minerals were not present in the pumped ground water, but were blown into the conveyance canal from adjacent soils. Humic substances from the water...
