Monitoring
Monitoring
USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center scientists collect hydrologic data and scientific information across the state to provide information needed to understand water resources in Texas. Monitoring studies include the real-time data from our streamgaging, well, and water-quality networks, as well as monitoring to answer specific, local water resource questions.

Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Monitoring and Assessment Program Development
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and USGS will jointly lead the development of foundational components for Gulf region-wide monitoring.
USEPA Science Support - Geophysical Logging
The USGS provides geophysical expertise and support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Surface-Water Monitoring in Small Western Texas Watersheds
The USGS Texas Water Science Center maintains a network of continuous record gages and crest-stage gages on small watersheds in Western Texas. Data collected from these gages provides the Texas Department of Transportation with valuable watershed rainfall and runoff information to support their hydrologic research program.
Surface-water and Groundwater Interaction at Air Force Plant 4
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center is monitoring sediment, surface-water, and groundwater properties at Air Force Plant 4.
Menard County Surface-Water Monitoring
The USGS operates and maintains a continuous discharge monitoring station on the Menard Irrigation Canal near Menard, Texas to assist water managers in balancing multiple water uses.
Lewisville Dam Seepage Monitoring
The USGS Texas Water Science Center is monitoring water surface elevation in monitoring wells and seepage losses from Lake Lewisville dam.
Hydrogeologic and Geochemical Investigation of the Trinity and Northern Segment Edwards Aquifers
The USGS Texas Water Science Center, in cooperation with the Clearwater Underground Water Conservation District and Bell County Adaptive Management Coalition, is evaluating the hydrogeology and water quality of the Northern segment of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers in Bell County to provide regional resource managers responsible for regulation of water use and drought management strategies with...
Geophysical Logging of Dockum Aquifer
To aid in the understanding of the Dockum aquifer, USGS will collect borehole geophysical logs at multiple Dockum wells. All geophysical logs will be reviewed to assess lithology and groundwater quality changes.
City of Austin Water Quality Data Review and Analysis
The USGS and City of Austin have been working together on water-quality sampling and studies of surface-water and groundwater sites in the Austin area for many years. A large variety of water-quality samples have been collected over a range of hydrologic conditions and submitted for numerous laboratory analyses. Both agencies are interested in exploring existing data for potential insight on...
Catahoula Water Chemistry Network
In 2009, large volume groundwater users began the exploration of the Catahoula Sandstone as an alternate water source in Montgomery County. Little to no information exists on the water quality of the Catahoula Sandstone in Montgomery County. To assess the viability of the Catahoula Sandstone as a potential source of groundwater, the USGS Texas Water Science Center is collecting water-quality data...
Carrizo Aquifer Water Quality
The USGS Texas Water Science Center, in cooperation with the San Antonio Water System, has been collecting data since 2004 to characterize the quality of and ascertain changes in groundwater at and near the water system’s Twin Oaks Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) site, where the water system has been injecting water from the Edwards aquifer into the Carrizo aquifer for storage. Findings are...
Assimilative Capacity of Lake Livingston
The nutrient and sediment data collected by this study provides insight into assimilative capacity of reservoirs and impacts to inflows for coastal Texas.
