The quality of surface waters in Texas The quality of surface waters in Texas
The discharge-weighted average concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and ,sulfate for many of the principal streams in Texas are less than 500 mg/l (millijgraljls per liter), 250 mg/l, and 250 mg/l, respectively. At 65 of 131 sites on streams that were sampled at least 10 times, the biochemical oxygen demand of at least half the samples exceeded 3.0 mg/l. At 20 of the sites, the...

Projected effects of the proposed Tennessee Colony Reservoir on ground-water conditions in the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer and Trinity River alluvium; Trinidad-Oakwood area, Texas Projected effects of the proposed Tennessee Colony Reservoir on ground-water conditions in the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer and Trinity River alluvium; Trinidad-Oakwood area, Texas
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requested the assistance of the U.S. Geological Survey to project the effects of the proposed Tennessee Colony Reservoir on the following ground-water systems: (1) Carrizo-Wilcox bedrock aquifer; (2) the Trinity River alluvium downstream from the proposed Tennessee Colony Dam; and (3) the Trinity River alluvium upstream from the proposed reservoir. The...

Land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
The pumping of large amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 200 feet (61 metres) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 325 feet (99 metres) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-73. The maximum annual rates of decline for 1943-73 were 6.7 feet (2.0 metres) in the Chicot...

Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico
Floods produced by Hurricane Beulah during September and October 1967 were outstanding because of the magnitude of the stage and discharge and because of the number of river basins affected. Previously known maximum stages were exceeded, at the downstream station, in five river basins in Texas by amounts ranging from 2.7 feet at Guadalupe River near Tivoli to 9.2 feet at Aransas River...
