Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972 Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a total of approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures to be...

Effects of urbanization on floods in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area Effects of urbanization on floods in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area
The effects of urbanization on flood characteristics of streams in the Dallas metropolitan area were studied by use of a digital model of the hydrologic system. The model was calibrated by using observed rainfall and runoff data from 19 storms in six basins having various degrees of urbanization. The calibrated models were used with a 57- year rainfall record to simulate 57-year records...

Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown is becoming critical because much of the area is now subject to inundation by high tides. Production of oil and gas from the Goose Creek Field on...

Pesticides data-collection activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas Pesticides data-collection activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas
The water-resources investigations program of the Geological Survey has the objective of seeing that the Nation's water resources are appraised and that the necessary water data to develop and manage them efficiently are available when needed. In carrying out this objective, the Survey is the primary source of hydrologic data that are basic not only to the quantification of the water...

Simulated water-level changes resulting from proposed changes in ground-water pumping in the Houston area, Texas Simulated water-level changes resulting from proposed changes in ground-water pumping in the Houston area, Texas
The need for additional water supplies in the Houston area prompted construction of Lake Livingston on the Trinity River in Polk and San Jacinto Counties, about 60 miles (96 km) northeast of Houston, as a source of surface water for municipal supply, industrial use, and irrigation. Water from the Lake Livingston will become available to users in the Houston area early in 1976.

Water resources data for Texas, water year 1972; Part 2. Water quality records Water resources data for Texas, water year 1972; Part 2. Water quality records
Water resources data for the 1972 water year for Texas include records of data for the chemical and physical characteristics of surface water. The records were collected by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of I.D. Yost, district chief. These data represent that portion of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey...

A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana
The proposed water-quality network for the Sabine River Basin of Texas and Louisiana consists of nine monitoring stations, a central control station, a slave-central station, and a leased-line telecommunications system. This monitoring network would provide continuous transmission of water-quality data to the office of the water manager. Level I operations at a proposed site would...
