Numerical simulation of ground-water flow in lower Satus Creek Basin, Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington
E. A. Prych
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4065
A multilayer numerical model of steady-state ground-water flow in lower Satus Creek basin was constructed, calibrated using time-averaged data, and used to estimate the long-term effects of proposed irrigation-water management plans on ground-water levels in the area. Model computations showed that irrigation of new lands in the Satus uplands would...
Alteration and vein mineralization, Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, Front Range, Colorado
Alan R. Wallace
1983, Open-File Report 83-417
The Schwartzwalder uranium deposit, in the Front Range west of Denver, Colorado, is the largest vein-type uranium deposit in the United States. The deposit is situated in a steeply dipping fault system that cuts Proterozoic metamorphic rocks. The host rocks represent a submarine volcanic system with associated chert and iron-...
Comparative anatomy of epithermal precious- and base-metal districts hosted by volcanic rocks: A talk presented at the GAC/MSC/GGU Joint Annual Meeting, May 11-13, 1983, Victoria, British Columbia
