Effects of ground-water development on the proposed Palmetto Bend Dam and Reservoir in southeast Texas Effects of ground-water development on the proposed Palmetto Bend Dam and Reservoir in southeast Texas
Ground water continues to discharge into the Navidad and Lavaca Rivers by seepage outflow even though large amounts of ground water are pumped for irrigation. Although a reduction in streamflow probably has occurred, a complete loss of the low flow of the streams by infiltration to a lowered water table seems remote. The large ground-waterwithdrawals will continue to cause land-surface...

Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1971 Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1971
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. The objectives of this project are as follows: 1. To determine the effects of progressive urbanization on infiltration, rates of peak discharge, and rainfall-runoff relations in the Waller Creek watershed. 2. To provide rainfall-and-runoff data...

Preliminary report on land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas Preliminary report on land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. One critical area of subsidence is in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown. Much of this area is now subject to inundation by high tides. Production of oil and gas from the Goose Creek Field at the...

Effects of Urbanization on Floods in the Houston, Texas Metropolitan Area Effects of Urbanization on Floods in the Houston, Texas Metropolitan Area
Rainfall and runoff data from drainage basins in the Houston metropolitan area and a 60-year rainfall record for the National Weather Service station, Houston-City, were used to simulate 60 annual flood peaks at 26 sites. Selected frequency characteristics, based on these simulated annual peaks, are related to drainage area and percentage of impervious area. These relations, which may be...

Compilation of hydrologic data, Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1968 Compilation of hydrologic data, Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1968
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood and soil erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act ot 1936 and 1944" and ''Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. In June 1968, the Soil Conservation Service estimated approximately 3,500 structures to be physically and...

Travel time for solutes, upper Sabine River basin, Texas, April 16-30, 1972 Travel time for solutes, upper Sabine River basin, Texas, April 16-30, 1972
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Sabine River Compact Administration, conducted time-of-travel studies in the Sabine River Basin on April 16-30, 1972. One study was made on the main stem of the Sabine River in four reaches from Lake Tawakoni to Toledo Bend Reservoir, a distance of 219 miles. Two other studies were made on reaches of Lake Fork Creek and Big Sandy Creek...
