Hydrogeologic sections of the Edwards Aquifer and its confining units in the San Antonio area, Texas Hydrogeologic sections of the Edwards Aquifer and its confining units in the San Antonio area, Texas
Twenty-seven geohydrology sections illustrate structural and stratigraphic relationships within the 180-mi-long Edwards aquifer. These sections were used to interpret the location of barriers within the Edwards aquifer. The sections are oriented generally south-southeast, which is approximately normal to both the east-northeast trending Edwards aquifer and the strike of the major faults...

Hydrology and water quality of the Edwards Aquifer associated with Barton Springs in the Austin area, Texas Hydrology and water quality of the Edwards Aquifer associated with Barton Springs in the Austin area, Texas
Urban development over the Edwards aquifer in the Austin, Texas, area has caused concerns about the availability and quality of water in the aquifer. The study area, the Edwards aquifer that discharges to Barton Springs, includes parts of Travis and Hays Counties and extends from the city of Kyle to the Colorado River. A large part of the aquifer lies within the Austin metropolitan area...

National water summary 1985: Hydrologic events and surface-water resources National water summary 1985: Hydrologic events and surface-water resources
The surface-water resources of the United States, the focal point for this National Water Summary, are extensively developed and managed to provide water supplies, hydroelectric power, navigation, recreational opportunities, and sufficient instream flows to maintain fish and wildlife habitats and adequate water quality. Surface water represents 77 percent of the Nation's total freshwater

Irrigation data from Castro and Parmer Counties, Texas, 1983-84 Irrigation data from Castro and Parmer Counties, Texas, 1983-84
Castro and and Parmer Counties, with an estimated 700,000 acres under irrigation, are two of the leading agricultural counties in Texas. This report summarizes irrigation data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 64 randomly-selected sites as part of a study to better define the relationship between pumpage for irrigation and return flow to the High Plains aquifer from applied...
