Geohydrologic aspects for siting and design of low-level radioactive-waste disposal
M. S. Bedinger
1989, Circular 1034
The objective for siting and design of low-level radioactive-waste repository sites is to isolate the waste from the biosphere until the waste no longer poses an unacceptable hazard as a result of radioactive decay. Low-level radioactive waste commonly is isolated at shallow depths with various engineered features to stabilize the...
Measurement of time of travel in streams by dye tracing
F. A. Kilpatrick, James F. Wilson
1989, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A9
The use of fluorescent dyes and tracing techniques provides a means for measuring the time-of-travel and dispersion characteristics of steady and gradually varied flow in streams. Measurements of the dispersion and concentration of dyes give insight into the behavior of soluble contaminants that may be introduced into a stream. This manual describes methods of measuring time...

Water resources in the twenty-first century; a study of the implications of climate uncertainty
Marshall E. Moss, Harry F. Lins
1989, Circular 1030
The interactions of the water resources on and within the surface of the Earth with the atmosphere that surrounds it are exceedingly complex. Increased uncertainty can be attached to the availability of water of usable quality in the 21st century, therefore, because of potential anthropogenic changes in the global climate...
Ground-water conditions in Las Vegas Valley, Clark County, Nevada; part 1 Hydrogeologic Framework
Russell W. Plume
1989, Water Supply Paper 2320-A
This report describes the lithology, thickness, and extent of valley-fill deposits in Las Vegas Valley, Nev. This information will be used to develop a hydraulic model of the valley's ground-water system. Las Vegas Valley is a structural basin formed by bedrock that ranges in age from Precambrian through Miocene. Gravity...
