Guidelines for collection and field analysis of water-quality samples from streams in Texas Guidelines for collection and field analysis of water-quality samples from streams in Texas
This manual provides standardized guidelines and quality-control procedures for the collection and preservation of water-quality samples and defines procedures for making field analyses of unstable constituents or properties. Descriptions and procedures are given for several methods of sampling for which a variety of samplers may be used. Sample-processing devices such as sample churns...

Summary of data from the 1981-83 pilot study and 1985-89 operations of the Hueco Bolson Recharge Project, Northeast El Paso, Texas Summary of data from the 1981-83 pilot study and 1985-89 operations of the Hueco Bolson Recharge Project, Northeast El Paso, Texas
Pumping and injection tests were conducted during a 1981-83 pilot study of the Hueco bolson recharge project in northeast El Paso. Water-level decline and buildup were measured in a recharge well and an observation well. The specific capacity of the recharge well during the October 1982 injection test was 18.3 gallons per minute per foot after 22.5 hours. The recharge well was...

National water summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use National water summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use
Water use in the United States, as measured by freshwater withdrawals in 1985, averaged 338,000 Mgal/d (million gallons per day), which is enough water to cover the 48 conterminous States to a depth of about 2.4 inches. Only 92,300 Mgal/d, or 27.3 percent of the water withdrawn, was consumptive use and thus lost to immediate further use; the remainder of the withdrawals (72.7 percent)...

Potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas, winter, 1974-75 Potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas, winter, 1974-75
The potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units (from December 1974 through February 1975) was mapped as part of the Edwards-Trinity Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) project. A major goal of the Edwards-Trinity RASA project is to understand and describe the regional flow system (Bush, 1986). The development of a digital...

Ground-water withdrawals, water-level changes, land-surface subsidence, and ground-water quality in Fort Bend County, Texas, 1969-87 Ground-water withdrawals, water-level changes, land-surface subsidence, and ground-water quality in Fort Bend County, Texas, 1969-87
Fort Bend County, which has one of the fastest growing populations of all counties in the United States, is dependent entirely on ground water for public supply. Since 1969, at least 90 large-capacity wells have been drilled, of which 57 were public supply wells, 23 were irrigation wells, and 10 were industrial wells. All but seven of the new public-supply wells are located in the...

Geohydrology and water quality of the Roubidoux Aquifer, northeastern Oklahoma Geohydrology and water quality of the Roubidoux Aquifer, northeastern Oklahoma
The Roubidoux aquifer is an important source of freshwater for public supplies, commerce, industry, and rural water districts in northeastern Oklahoma. Ground-water withdrawals from the aquifer in 1981 were estimated to be 4.8 million gallons per day, of which about 90 percent was withdrawn in Ottawa County. Wells drilled at the beginning of the 20th century originally flowed at the land...
