1982, Open-File Report 82-89
This specification is to communicate to instrument manufacturers the U.S. Geological Survey 's requirements. It covers systems for sensing the elevation of the water surface on open channels, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, storm-sewer pipes, and observation wells at Survey data-collection sites. The signal output (mechanical or electrical) must meet the signal...
Ground-water levels and water quality in an area near Topaz Lake, Douglas County, Nevada
Jon O. Nowlin
1982, Open-File Report 80-2046
Intensive residential development of land along the northwest shore of Topaz Lake has raised concern regarding the adequacy of the water supply and possible effects of septic-tank effluents on the quality of local ground water and the lake. Existing data on water levels, well construction, and water quality were compiled,...
