Utah Water Science Center
The U.S. Geological Survey in Utah conducts ongoing ground-water, surface-water, geochemical, biological, and water-quality investigations in various parts of the State. These investigations periodically result in publications that describe results of the work done and interpretations made. The most recent publications are listed below.
The Utah District office of the U.S. Geological Survey stores a limited number of publications. A copy of these publications may be obtained, depending on availability, by contacting the Publications Unit.
