Application of a rainfall-runoff model in estimating flood peaks for selected small natural drainage basins in Texas

A parametric rainfall-runoff simulation model was used to synthesize long-term records of annual peak discharges for small natural drainage basins in Texas. Optimum model-parameter values were determined for each of the 40 basins studied by using short-term rainfall, evaporation, and discharge data. The calibrated model was used in conjunction with long-term records of rainfall and evaporation to

Selected water-level records for western Oklahoma, 1975-1976

A systematic program to collect water-level records in Oklahoma began in 1937. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for use in basic research. Water-level data in table 1

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975

Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, including hydrographs and mass curves, are presented for nine storm periods during the 1975 water year in drainage basins in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. (Woodard-USGS)

Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1975

This report contains rainfall and runoff data collected during the 1975 water year for Sycamore Creek, Sycamore Creek tributary , Dry Branch, and Little Fossil Creek study areas in Fort Worth, Texas. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, includin

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1974

The purpose of this report is to present rainfall and runoff data for the Waller Creek and Wilbarger Creek study areas for the 1974 water year (October 1, 1973 to September 30, 1974).
