2000, Open-File Report 2000-62
The 2nd Interface Between Ecology and Land Development Conference was held in association with Earth Day 1997, five years after the first Interface Conference. Rapid population growth in California has intensified the inevitable conflict between land development and preservation of natural ecosystems. Sustainable development requires wise use of diminishing natural...
Evaluation of biological data, Guanella Pass Area, Clear Creek and Park counties, Colorado, water years 1995-97
Jennifer R. Cox-Lillis
2000, Open-File Report 2000-54
Macroinvertebrate and algal community samples were collected during a 3-year period at sites located near Guanella Pass, Colorado, to provide baseline characterization data. Water-quality sampling and habitat evaluations were used to aid in the interpretation of the biological data. The study was part of an environmental investigation for a proposed...

Considerations for use of the RORA program to estimate ground-water recharge from streamflow records
A. T. Rutledge
2000, Open-File Report 2000-156
The RORA program can be used to estimate ground-water recharge in a basin from analysis of a streamflow record. The program can be appropriate for use if the ground-water flow system is characterized by diffuse areal recharge to the water table and discharge to a stream. The use of...
