The water quality of Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River, Southeastern Texas The water quality of Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River, Southeastern Texas
The concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate in Livingstone Reservoir on the Trinity River in southeastern Texas usually average less than 250 mg/1 (milligrams per litre), 40 mg/1, and 50 mg/1, respectively. The water is usually hard or moderately hard (61 to 180 mg/1 as calcium carbonate). The concentrations of principal dissolved constituents in the reservoir are...

Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974 Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity River Authority of Texas, conducted timee-of-travel studies in the Trinity River basin during a period of low flow September 19-23, 1973, and during a period of moderate flow July 23-August 1, 1974. The purpose of these two studies was to provide data that could be used by the Trinity River...

Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974 Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974
Water-resources investigations in Texas consist of the collection of basic records through the hydrologic-data network, interpretive studies, and research projects. An office was established in Austin, Texas, in 1915 for surface-water studies, for ground-water studies in 1929, and water-quality studies in 1937. Previous investigations of the water resources of Texas were carried out by...
Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71 Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71
Tritium concentrations of samples from 50 wells and springs in the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area of Texas have been analysed. Tritium now in the aquifer is partly natural cosmic ray produced tritium, but most is tritium produced by atmospheric thermonuclear tests in the 1950's and early 1960's. The tritium levels in atmospheric precipitation and streams recharging the Edwards...

Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Annual recharge data obtained from historical records and mean-annual precipitation data computed from rainfall records were used to develop simple linear-regression equations for use in estimating annual recharge for seven subbasins in the San Antonio area. Adjustments were made to the precipitation parameter to account for the effects of year-end storms. The standard errors of estimate...
