ENERGY, MINERAL, RIVER-Colorado, White, WILDLIFE The development of an oil shale industry in the Piceance Basin of northwestern Colorado is expected to adversely affect most of the resident mammal and bird species regularly occurring in this area. Offers recommendations for mitigation that may reduce some negative impacts. 131. Carroon, L. E. 1970. Correlative estimates of streamflow in the upper Colorado River Basin. U. S. Geol. Surv. Water-Supply Pap. 1875. 145 pp. + map. RIVER-Colorado, STREAMFLOW Provides correlative estimates of monthly mean discharge at discontinued streamflow gauging stations, in the areas of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming from which waters naturally drain into the Colorado River above Lee's Ferry. 132. Carter, J. R., and A. R. Gree~. 1963. Floods in Wyoming, magnitude and frequency. U. S. Geol. Surv. Circ. 478. 27-pp. FLOOD, HYDROLOGY Methods are described for estimating the magnitude of a flood of any frequency for any site, gauged or ungauged, on most unregulated streams in Wyoming within the limits of basin size for which records have been collected for 1 to 50 years. Defines relations of the mean annual flood as the dependent variable to certain basin characteristics as independent variables. Curves are presented showing the ratio of floods of selected frequencies to the mean annual flood used as an index. 133. Casey, H. E. 1972. Salinity problems in arid lands irrigation: a literature review and selected bibliography. Univ. Ariz. Inst. Arid Lands Res. Inf. Pap. 1. 311 pp. (Also, Natl. Tech. Inf. Serv., Springfield, Va. PB-2l4 i72/9.) BIBLIOGRAPHY, ECONOMICS, IRRIGATION, LAW, MANAGEMENT, RECLAMATION, SALINITY, SOCIOLOGY, WATER QUALITY Bibliography of 986 references with a review of such broad topics as (1) water quality of the total drainage basin, (2) control of salinity and soil reclamation, (3) effects of drought on salts in plants, soil, and water, (4) basic water balance problems related to irrigation, and (5) historical perspective of problems caused by salinity. The Colorado River Basin was used as an example of a microcosm in which socioeconomic factors are considered. 134. Cashion, W. B. 1964. The distribution and quality of oil shale in the Green River Formation of the Uinta Basin, Utah-Colorado. ^ Pages 86-89 in Geological Survey Research 1964, Chapter D. U. S. Geol. Surv. Prof. Pap. SOlD. DISTRIBUTION, MINERAL Describes the oil-shale beds in Utah and Colorado. Incomplete bioassay data indicate an average oil yield of 15 gallons per ton or about 321 billion barrels of oil in this area that could be used as a source for liquid synthetic fuel. 135.
