Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico

Floods produced by Hurricane Beulah during September and October 1967 were outstanding because of the magnitude of the stage and discharge and because of the number of river basins affected. Previously known maximum stages were exceeded, at the downstream station, in five river basins in Texas by amounts ranging from 2.7 feet at Guadalupe River near Tivoli to 9.2 feet at Aransas River...

Analog-model studies of ground-water hydrology in the Houston District, Texas Analog-model studies of ground-water hydrology in the Houston District, Texas

The major water-bearing units in the Houston district are the Chicot and the Evangeline aquifers. The Chicot aquifer overlies the Evangeline aquifer, which is underlain by the Burkeville confining layer. Both aquifers consist of unconsolidated and discontinuous layers of sand and clay that dip toward the Gulf of Mexico. Heavy pumping of fresh water has caused large declines in the...

Simulated water-level changes resulting from proposed changes in ground-water pumping in the Houston area, Texas Simulated water-level changes resulting from proposed changes in ground-water pumping in the Houston area, Texas

The need for additional water supplies in the Houston area prompted construction of Lake Livingston on the Trinity River in Polk and San Jacinto Counties, about 60 miles (96 km) northeast of Houston, as a source of surface water for municipal supply, industrial use, and irrigation. Water from the Lake Livingston will become available to users in the Houston area early in 1976.

A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana

The proposed water-quality network for the Sabine River Basin of Texas and Louisiana consists of nine monitoring stations, a central control station, a slave-central station, and a leased-line telecommunications system. This monitoring network would provide continuous transmission of water-quality data to the office of the water manager. Level I operations at a proposed site would...
