An evaluation of Idaho stream-gaging networks
E.W. Quillian, W. A. Harenberg
1982, Open-File Report 82-865
Network Analysis for Regional Information (NARI) and the Cost-Effectiveness Procedure were tested by applying them to stream-gaging networks in Idaho. NARI was used to determine network design strategies that would maximize the value of additional data. Value of data was measured as the decrease in the probable true standards error...

Ground-water levels in Wyoming, 1971 through part of 1980
Jess O. Ragsdale
1982, Open-File Report 82-859
Ground-water levels are measured periodically in a network of about 280 observation wells in Wyoming, mostly in areas where ground water is used in large quantities for irrigation or municipal purposes. The program is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Wyoming State Engineer and the city...
Geochemical and geostatistical evaluation, Arkansas Canyon Planning Unit, Fremont and Custer Counties, Colorado
