Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1975 Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1975
This report contains rainfall and runoff data collected during the 1975 water year for Sycamore Creek, Sycamore Creek tributary , Dry Branch, and Little Fossil Creek study areas in Fort Worth, Texas. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. Detailed rainfall-runoff computations

Development of ground water in the Houston District, Texas, 1970-74 Development of ground water in the Houston District, Texas, 1970-74
Total withdrawals of ground water in the Houston district, Texas , increased 9 percent from about 488 million gallons per day in 1970 to about 532 million gallons per day in 1974. The average annual rate of increase from 1960 to 1969 was about 6.3 percent. During 1970-74, increases in pumpage occurred in the Houston, Katy, and NASA areas; decreases occurred in the Pasadena and Alta Loma...

Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas
Drainage area, slope, and mean annual precipitation were the only factors that were statistically significant at the 95-percent confidence level when the characteristics of the drainage basins were used as independent variables in a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of natural, unregulated streams in Texas. The State was divided into six regions on the basis of the...

Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma
Most of the data presented in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a study of the geohydrology of the Vamoosa aquifer, in east-central Oklahoma, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Some of the data listed in the tables were collected by Bingham and Moore (1975) and Bingham and Bergman (in press). Acknowledgment is extended to city officials...

Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I
Regional decline of aquifer head due to ground-water withdrawal in the Houston area has caused extensive land-surface subsidence. The NASA-Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in southeastern Harris County, Texas, was about 13 to 19 feet above mean sea level in 1974 and sinking at a rate of more than 0.2 foot per year. NASA-JSC officials, concerned about the hurricane flooding hazard...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975
Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, including hydrographs and mass curves, are presented for nine storm periods during the 1975 water year in drainage basins in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. (Woodard-USGS)

Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975 Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975
This report contains the rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1975 water year for the 21.6-square-mile area above the stream-gaging station North Creek near Jacksboro, Texas. The weighted-mean rainfall in the study area during the water year was 39.01 inches, which is greater than the 18-year average of 30.21 inches for the period 1958-75. Monthly rainfall totals...
