Water-quality records for the Hubbard Creek watershed, Texas, October 1974 - September 1976 Water-quality records for the Hubbard Creek watershed, Texas, October 1974 - September 1976
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the West Central Texas Municipal Water District and the Texas Department of Water Resources, is conducting a continuing program to determine the chemical quality of surface waters in the Hubbard Creek watershed. This report provides a compilation of the records for the period October 1974 to September 1976.

Gas-driven pump for ground-water samples Gas-driven pump for ground-water samples
Observation wells installed for artificial-recharge research and other wells used in different ground-water programs are frequently cased with small-diameter steel pipe. To obtain samples from these small-diameter wells in order to monitor water quality, and to calibrate solute-transport models, a small-diameter pump with unique operating characteristics is required that causes a minimum

Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976 Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
The total drainage area of Mountain Creek, Texas, is 304 sq mi. The stream-gaging stations on Mountain Creek near Cedar Hill and Walnut Creek near Mansfield provide hydrologic data to define runoff characteristics from small drainage basins. They also serve as index stations for inflow into the reservoir and provide operational data for the reservoir. In addition, the station Walnut...

Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976 Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing structures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found that approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures would be...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, 1976 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, 1976
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.

Method of estimating natural recharge to the Edwards Aquifer in the San Antonio area, Texas Method of estimating natural recharge to the Edwards Aquifer in the San Antonio area, Texas
The method of estimating annual recharge is based on data collected from a network of stream-gaging stations and on assumptions related to applying the runoff characteristics from gaged areas to ungaged areas. The basic approach is a water-balance equation, in which recharge within a stream basin is the difference between measured streamflow above and below the infiltration area of the...

Profiles showing potentiometric surfaces and changes in effective stress in aquifers in Harris and Galveston counties, Texas, 1977-78 Profiles showing potentiometric surfaces and changes in effective stress in aquifers in Harris and Galveston counties, Texas, 1977-78
These profiles were prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Counties Coastal Subsidence District and the Texas Department of Water Resources to show the changes in the altitudes of the potentiometric surfaces and, consequently, the changes in effective stress on the framework of the aquifers as a result of changes in the distribution and amount of...
