Progress report on geology of the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas, and preliminary interpretation of borehole geophysical and laboratory data on carbonate rocks Progress report on geology of the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas, and preliminary interpretation of borehole geophysical and laboratory data on carbonate rocks
This report describes the geology and porosity of the rocks of the Edwards aquifer, with particular attention to the eastern half of the San Antonio area. The data were obtained from geologic and geophysical studies of nine cored test holes, from laboratory analyses of samples of the aquifer materials, and from recent stratigraphic studies by other investigators. The Georgetown Formation...

Test drilling for ground water in Hudspeth, Culberson, and Presidio Counties in westernmost Texas Test drilling for ground water in Hudspeth, Culberson, and Presidio Counties in westernmost Texas
From November 1973 to October 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey drilled four deep test holes to supplement hydrologic and geophysical studies evaluating fresh ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas. For each test, samples of drill cuttings were collect·ed, borehole geophysical logs were run, and water samples were collected from specific zones. The Leopold Guerra No. 1 test hole...

Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very favorably with observed data. Analyses of geologic and...

Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976 Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
This report contains rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1976 water year for a 75.5 sq mi area above the stream-gaging station Little Elm Creek near Aubrey, Texas. Floodflows from 35.7 sq mi of the area are regulated by 16 floodwater-retarding structures constructed by the Soil Conservation Service. During the 1976 water year, five storm periods were selected for...

Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Moses Lake in due principally to the removal of ground water in adjacent areas. Significant subsidence of the land surface at Moses Lake began after 1900, and as much as...

Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974 Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity River Authority of Texas, conducted timee-of-travel studies in the Trinity River basin during a period of low flow September 19-23, 1973, and during a period of moderate flow July 23-August 1, 1974. The purpose of these two studies was to provide data that could be used by the Trinity River...
