Provides results of a hydrologic study of the Bear River Basin in Southeastern Idaho begun in July 1967. This October 1969 report by N. P. Dion describes the distribution and availability of water resources, presents well data, describes water quality, looks at the effect of increasted water use, and identifies existing and potential hydrologic problems. Report is 66 typescript pages in a spiral binding. Includes tables, charts, and three maps.
The areal distribution of precipitation in the Bear River basin is controlled chiefly by elevation, and quantities range from less than 10 inches in Bear Lake Valley to more than 45 inches on the Bear River Range. Precipation on the basin averages about 2.3 million acre-feet per year.... The principal course of recharge to the aquifers include precipitation, spring snowmelt and runoff, seepage of irrigation water, and losses from irrigation canals. Some additional recharge is... |
