1984, Open-File Report 82-555
Five large-capacity irrigation wells, with depths ranging from 370 to 686 feet, were drilled by the Elephant Butte Irrigation District between 1973 and 1975, in the Mesilla Valley about 7 miles south of Las Cruces, New Mexico. These were the first deep wells in the area, and their installation provided...
Fluorometric procedures for dye tracing
James E. Wilson Jr., Ernest D. Cobb, Frederick A. Kilpatrick
1984, Open-File Report 84-234
This manual describes the current fluorometric procedures used by the U.S. Geological Survey in dye tracer studies such as time of travel, dispersion, reaeration, and dilution-type discharge measurements. The outstanding characteristics of dye tracing are: (1) the low detection and measurement limits, and (2) the simplicity and accuracy of measuring...
Annual suspended-sediment loads in the Green River at Green River, Utah, 1930-82
K. R. Thompson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4169
The Green River above gaging station 093150000 at Green River, Utah, drains about 44,850 square miles in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. The average annual precipitation near the station was 6.11 inches. Rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Holocene are exposed in the Green River drainage basin above Green River,...

Water resources of the Yap Islands
Otto Van der Brug
1984, Open-File Report 82-357
The Yap Islands consist of four major islands, Yap, Gagil-Tamil, Maap, and Rumung. Of these, Yap Island has more than half the total land area, most of the population, and almost all of the economic development. The islands of Maap and Rumung together compose only 15 percent of the land...
Ground-water level data and preliminary potentiometric-surface maps, Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nye County, Nevada
J. H. Robison
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4197
The report contains a table of ground-water level data and two preliminary potentiometric-surface maps for the Yucca Mountain area. The water-level surface shown on the maps generally represents water-table (unconfined) conditions. The water table in the Yucca Mountain area occurs in ash-flow and air-fall tuffs of tertiary age. West of...
Quantity and quality of streamflow in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
K.L. Lindskov, Briant A. Kimball
1984, Water Supply Paper 2224
The southeastern Uinta Basin of Utah and Colorado includes an area of 3,000 square miles containing large oilshale deposits. Future mining and retorting of the oil shale in northeastern Utah is expected to impact the area's water resources. In order to determine premining conditions, streamflow and water-quality data were collected...

High-temperature, large-volume, lavalike ash-flow tuffs without calderas in southwestern Idaho
E. B. Ekren, David H. McIntyre, Earl H. Bennett
1984, Professional Paper 1272
Rhyolitic rocks were erupted from vents in and adjacent to the Owyhee Mountains and Owyhee Plateau of southwestern Idaho from 16 m.y. ago to about 10 m.y. ago. They were deposited on a highly irregular surface developed on a variety of basement rocks that include granitic rocks of Cretaceous age,...

Synthesized flood frequency for small urban streams in Tennessee
C. H. Robbins
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4182
Bridge, culvert, and highway design often require knowledge of the magnitude and frequency of flood discharge from small streams where the drainage basin is urbanized. The results of a 6-year study by the U.S. Geological Survey provide methods for estimating flood magnitudes for selected frequencies on small streams draining urban...
