Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1989 Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1989
This report shows the altitudes of water levels in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston metropolitan area, Texas. Of the 425 wells measured, 307 were used to construct the maps of potentiometric surface. The Chicot and Evangeline aquifers are composed of several sand layers, each with a separate potentiometric surface. These maps, however, show a single potentiometric...

Analysis of water surface and flow distribution for the design flood at a proposed highway crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas Analysis of water surface and flow distribution for the design flood at a proposed highway crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas
The hydraulic effects of the proposed Texas Highway 43 crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas, were determined on the basis of results from a two-dimensional finite-element surface-water-flow model. In planning the replacement crossing by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, approximations of apportionment of flow among the openings and velocities...

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-89 and 1988-89, and measured compaction, 1973-89, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-89 and 1988-89, and measured compaction, 1973-89, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
This report presents data on water-level changes in the Chinot and Evangeline aquifers during 1977-89 and 1988-89 and data on measured compaction during 1973-89. Measurements of water level in 307 wells were used to construct the maps showing water-level changes. Compaction data were obtained from 12 wells equipped with compaction monitors at 11 sites.

Summary of hydrologic data for the San Gabriel River basin and Edwards Aquifer, Georgetown area, Texas, water year 1988 Summary of hydrologic data for the San Gabriel River basin and Edwards Aquifer, Georgetown area, Texas, water year 1988
The Edwards aquifer is the principle source of freshwater for municipal, domestic, and industrial users in the Georgetown area. Other sources of freshwater are the streams draining the San Gabriel River basin and Lake Georgetown. Lake Georgetown, located on the North Fork San Gabriel River west of Georgetown, is a freshwater supply for some municipalities in the area, water in the San...

Hydrogeology and predevelopment flow in the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems Hydrogeology and predevelopment flow in the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems
A multilayered ground-water flow system exists in the Coastal Plain sediments of Texas. The Tertiary and Quaternary clastic deposits have an area! extent of 128,000 square miles onshore and in the Gulf of Mexico. Two distinct aquifer systems are recognized for the sediments, which range in thickness from a few feet to more than 12,000 feet. The older system the Texas coastal uplands...

Hydrologic data for the Salt Bayou estuary near Sabine Pass, Texas, October 1984 to March 1986 Hydrologic data for the Salt Bayou estuary near Sabine Pass, Texas, October 1984 to March 1986
The Salt Bayou estuary, located in extreme southeast Texas near Sabine Pass, has been altered by construction of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway has interrupted the historical saltwater-freshwater exchange in this important estuary. This alteration may have had a detrimental effect on fish production because of increased salinity, and on waterfowl production because of lower...
