Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of surface waters of the Sabine River Basin, Texas and Louisiana Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of surface waters of the Sabine River Basin, Texas and Louisiana
The Sabine River basin has an abundant supply .of surface water of excellent quality. The basin area of 9,700 square miles receives an average of about 48 inches of rainfall per year, of which about 13 inches flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
