Modeling Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Models provide the capability to simulate scenarios of possible future conditions and management options to help water-resource professionals with planning decisions. Groundwater models are commonly used to evaluate changes to the water budget of an aquifer resulting from land-use changes, water withdrawals, and climate, and how these changes affect streamflow, lake levels, water quality, and...
Zebra Mussel Monitoring Program (ZMMP)
The zebra mussel is an invasive species that has spread rapidly in the United States. The first confirmed detection of zebra mussels in Texas occurred in 2009 at Lake Texoma along the Texas–Oklahoma border. The USGS Zebra Mussel Monitoring Program for Texas (ZMMP) began in April 2010 and has expanded over time in response to the continued spread of zebra mussels in Texas.
Geophysical Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Geophysical techniques used by the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) provide a relatively quick and inexpensive means to gain insights into how groundwater systems work and the occurrence and distribution of certain contaminants. These techniques are an important tool for scientific investigations, environmental planning, and resource management. Visit the links below for more...
Coastal Science in Texas
Coastal science at the USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) includes groundwater, surface water, and water-quality studies. Surface water includes coastal waters, estuaries, and major inflows to the coast. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
Biological Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) provides policy makers, public agencies, non-governmental organizations, and stakeholders with baseline data and interpretations on the occurrence and distribution of instream and riparian-zone biological resources; assesses the status and trends of instream and riparian-zone biological resources in relation to differences in channel habitat...
Groundwater Modeling at the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center
The Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center performs computer simulations using MODFLOW to simulate groundwater/surface-water interaction, quantify groundwater resources, and evaluate the effects of withdrawals on future groundwater supplies for aquifers in Oklahoma and Texas.
