Chemical and physical characteristics of water in estuaries of Texas, October 1976-September 1978 Chemical and physical characteristics of water in estuaries of Texas, October 1976-September 1978
The Texas Water Plan (1968) proposes development and utilization of water resources in Texas and includes provision for the use and preservation of water in the estuaries of the State. Management of estuarine waters requires knowledge of the hydrodynamics and of the continuing changes in the chemical and physical characteristics of water in the estuaries. In September 1967, the U.S...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1980 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1980
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Studies have been completed in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. In...

Projected effects of proposed salinity-control projects on shallow ground water; preliminary results for the upper Brazos River basin, Texas Projected effects of proposed salinity-control projects on shallow ground water; preliminary results for the upper Brazos River basin, Texas
As part of the plan to control the natural salt pollution in the upper Brazos River basin of Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recommended construction of three impoundment and retention reservoirs. In connection with the proposed reservoirs, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to define the existing ground-water conditions in the shallow ground-water system of the area and to...

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1982 Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1982
The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, is to show the altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. The maps are based on water-level measurements in spring of 1982 in about 550...

Water quality of Lake Granbury, north-central Texas Water quality of Lake Granbury, north-central Texas
During water years 1970-79, the concentrations of the major dissolved constituents in Lake Granbury on the Brazos River in north-central Texas averaged about 1,800 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, 700 milligrams per liter of chloride, and 350 milligrams per liter of sulfate. The water was generally very hard (hardness as calcium carbonate greater than 180 milligrams per liter)...

Development of ground-water resources in Orange County, Texas, and adjacent areas in Texas and Louisiana, 1971-80 Development of ground-water resources in Orange County, Texas, and adjacent areas in Texas and Louisiana, 1971-80
Pumpage in Orange County from the lower unit of the Chicot aquifer averaged 21.2 million gallons per day (0.93 cubic meter per second) and pumpage from the upper unit of the Chicot averaged about 2 million gallons per day (0.088 cubic meter per second) from 1971-79. Annual pumpage increased in municipal areas and decreased in industrial areas with little net change in total annual...

Ground-water withdrawals and land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 1906-80 Ground-water withdrawals and land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 1906-80
The withdrawal of larqe amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 250 feet (76 meters) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 300 feet (91 meters) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-77. Since late 1976, changes in pumping distribution resulting from efforts to control...
