Water resources of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho
Cox ER. 1973. Water resources of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 73-53. United States Geological Survey. Denver, CO
The study described in this report is an appraisal of water resources in Yellowstone National Park. Detailed hydrologic investigations are also described at several sites in the park, selected by the U.S. National Park Service, where additional data are needed for use in planning water supplies for public use. Most water supplies in toe park are from surface water. Some surface-water sources contain sediment during snowmelt and after heavy rainstorms and become temporarily objectionable to use. Ground water is not subject to seasonal increases in sediment.
