Sediment yields for selected streams in Texas Sediment yields for selected streams in Texas
The U.S. Geological Survey began a study to determine sediment yields for selected streams in Texas during the 1966 water year to provide information for areas in which sediment-yield data were meager or lacking. These data will aid in delineating problem areas and planning for water-resources development in the State. This report presents estimates of suspended-sediment loads and yields...

Availability of fresh and slightly saline ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas Availability of fresh and slightly saline ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas
Significant quantities of fresh ground water occur in the basin fill of the northern Hueco bolson and lower Mesilla Valley and in the Wildhorse Flat, Michigan Flat, Lobo Flat, and Ryan Flat areas of the Salt Basin; and may occur in Red Light Draw, Presidio bolson, and Green River valley. More than 20 million acre-feet of freshwater is estimated to be in storage in the basin fill of...

Chemical quality of water in abandoned zinc mines in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas Chemical quality of water in abandoned zinc mines in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas
Onsite measurements of pH, specific conductance, and water temperature show that water temperatures in seven mine shafts in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas is stratified. With increasing sampling depth, specific conductance and water temperature tend to increase, and pH tends to decrease. Concentrations of dissolved solids and chemical constituents in mine-shaft water, such...

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

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.

Ground-water data for the Salt Basin, Eagle Flat, Red Light Draw, Green River Valley, and Presidio Bolson in westernmost Texas Ground-water data for the Salt Basin, Eagle Flat, Red Light Draw, Green River Valley, and Presidio Bolson in westernmost Texas
From October 1971 through October 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey collected groundwater data in the basins in Texas west of the Pecos River drainage area and northwest of the Big Bend country. The basins included are, from east to west: The Presidio Bolson; the Salt Basin; Green River Valley, Eagle Flat, and Red Light Draw. The data collection program consisted of an inventory of all...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area, 1976 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area, 1976
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, Dallas and Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. In cooperation with the city of Austin...
