1988, FWS/OBS 82/10.149
INTRODUCTION The common eider (Somateria mollissima) consists of five subspecies; four are found in North America (Palmer 1976). Six management populations of common eiders have recently been defined in eastern Canada and the United States (Reed and Erskine 1986). The American edier (S. mollissima dresseri), of which three populations are recognized...
U.S. Geological Survey ground-water studies in Nevada
M. D. Dettinger, A. S. Van Denburgh
1988, Open-File Report 88-119
Groundwater is an important natural resource in Nevada. In 1985, groundwater provided 24% of the total water withdrawn, and supplied about 40% of the State 's population. Public supply and self-supplied domestic use accounted for about 12% of the groundwater withdrawn, and self-supplied industrial and mining use was about 3%....

1988, Bulletin 1713-D
At the request of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, approximately 85,100 acres of the Whipple Mountains Wilderness Study Area (CDCA-312) and 1,380 acres of the Whipple Mountains Addition Wilderness Study Area (AZ-050-010) were evaluated for identified mineral resources (known) and mineral resource potential (undiscovered). In this report, the Whipple...
Water use on the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
S. A. Goodell
1988, Professional Paper 1408-E
Amounts of water withdrawn and consumptively used for irrigation and other uses on the Snake River Plain were estimated to help deter- mine hydrologic effects of ground- and surface-water use. Irrigation is the largest off stream use of water on the plain. Surface-water irriga- tion began in the 1840's and...
Solute geochemistry of the Snake River plain regional aquifer system, Idaho and eastern Oregon
Warren W. Wood, Walton H. Low
