B. W. Drost
1982, Open-File Report 81-1021
The study area is a remnant of a glacial-drift plain nearly surrounded by marine embayments. A water-resources appraisal was made because the area is experiencing rapid population growth. Additional ground water is available for use in the study area. At least 11 cubic feet per second, five times the 1978...

Annual snowmelt and rainfall peak-flow data on selected foothills region streams, South Platte River, Arkansas River, and Colorado River basins, Colorado
J. G. Elliott, R.D. Jarrett, J.L. Ebling
1982, Open-File Report 82-426
Peak flows in the foothills region of Colorado are attributable to two meteorological sources--snowmelt and rainfall. As part of a study of the hydrology of foothills streams in Colorado, charts from streamflow gages on unregulated streams were examined to determined the source of peak-flow events. Snowmelt-runoff peaks were distinguished from...
Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California
T. David Riney, J.W. Pritchett, L.F. Rice
1982, Open-File Report 82-980
Geological, geophysical, thermal, petrophysical and hydrological data available for the East Mesa hydrothermal system that are pertinent to the construction of a computer model of the natural flow of heat and fluid mass within the system are assembled and correlated. A conceptual model of the full system is developed and...
