Improved irrigation technology and advanced farm management practices offer an opportunity for agriculture to use water more efficiently. Farmers may install new equipment, such as drip irrigation systems, or adopt advanced water management practices to conserve water without sacrificing crop yields. While farmers' decision to adopt water-saving irrigation technology responds to the cost of water, physical properties of the land such as topography or soil properties of the land such as topography or soil texture dominate the choice of irrigation technology.

Water-Resources Studies In Utah July 1, 1980 To June 30, 1981, United States Geological Survey

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

This report summarizes the progress on water-resources studies in Utah by the U.S. Geological Survey during the period July 1, 1980, to June 30, 1981. Much of the work was done in cooperation with the State of Utah or local agencies. Additional supporting funds were transferred from other Federal agencies or appropriated directly to the Geological Survey.


Assessment Of The Radiological Impact Of The Inactive Uranium-Mill Tailings At Mexican Hat, Utah, F. F. Haywood, W. A. Goldsmith, B. S. Ellis, H. M. Hubbard Jr., W. F. Fox, W. H. Shinpaugh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Mar 1980

Assessment Of The Radiological Impact Of The Inactive Uranium-Mill Tailings At Mexican Hat, Utah, F. F. Haywood, W. A. Goldsmith, B. S. Ellis, H. M. Hubbard Jr., W. F. Fox, W. H. Shinpaugh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

High surface soil concentrations of 226Ra and high above-ground measurements of gamma-ray intensity in the vicinity of the inactive uranium-mill tailings at Mexican Hat show both wind and water erosion of the tailings. The former mill area, occupied by a trade school at the time of this survey, shows a comparatively high level of contamination, probably from unprocessed ore on the surface of the ore storage area near the location of the former mill buildings. However, the estimated health effect of exposure to gamma rays during a 2000-hr work year in the area represents an increase of 0.1% in the …


Hydrologic And Climatologic Data, Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado: Water Year 1978, United States Geological Survey Jan 1980

Hydrologic And Climatologic Data, Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado: Water Year 1978, United States Geological Survey

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

This report contains hydrologic and climatologic data that were collected as part of an investigation of the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, by the U.S. Geological Survey. The data are mainly for the 1978 water year, which includes the period October 1977-September 1978. Conroy and Fields (1977) reported data collected mainly for water years 1975 and 1976, and Conroy (1979) reported data collected mainly for water year 1977.

Thermal Waters Of Utah, Topical Report, Harry D. Goode

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

Western and central Utah has 16 areas whose wells or springs yield hot water (35 degrees C or higher), warm water (20 degrees - 34.5 degrees C), and slightly warm water (15.5 degrees - 19.5 degrees C). These areas and the highest recorded water temperature for each area: Lower Bear River Area, 105 degrees; Bonneville Salt Flats, 88 degrees; Cove Fort - Sulphurdale, 77 degrees; Curlew Valley, 43 degrees; East Shore Area, 60 degrees; Escalante Desert, 149 degrees; Escalante Valley (Roosevelt, 269 degrees, and Thermo, 85 degrees); Fish Springs, 60.5 degrees; Grouse Creek Valley, 42 degrees; Heber Valley (Midway, 45 …
