Proposed 10-year plan for continuation of hydrologic studies of the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas Proposed 10-year plan for continuation of hydrologic studies of the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
The importance of the Edwards aquifer as a freshwater resource and its susceptibility to being contaminated, being over utilized, or both resulted in the development of a proposed 10-year plan to monitor and study its hydrology. The plan proposes adjustments to the current monitoring activities of computing and measuring recharge, discharge, withdrawals, water levels, and water quality...

Identification and tabulation of geological contacts in the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas Identification and tabulation of geological contacts in the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Geological contacts were picked on logs of about 480 wells in the San Antonio area of the Edwards aquifer. The base of the Del Rio Clay is the most frequently picked contact because it is the top of the Edwards aquifer and also because it is easily identified on either gamma-ray or electric logs. Other important formation contacts identified were the Austin Group, the Eagle Ford Group...

Floods in south-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas, October 1981 Floods in south-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas, October 1981
Heavy rains fell over south-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas during October 11-14, 1981, causing record flooding in both States. Six lives were lost, many people were temporarily left homeless, and damages amounted to nearly $115 million. The maximum rainfall of 23 inches occurred 5 miles north of Clyde, Texas, in about 34 hours. Flood discharges along the East Fork Little...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1982 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1982
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, and Houston. Studies have been completed in the Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio areas. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Reources, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. In...

Effects of October 1981 flood on the quantity and quality of water in selected streams and reservoirs in the Brazos River basin, Texas Effects of October 1981 flood on the quantity and quality of water in selected streams and reservoirs in the Brazos River basin, Texas
The storm that moved across north-central Texas during October 11-13, 1981, produced intense rainfall along a line extending from east of Abilene, Texas to Breckenridge, Texas to north of Mineral Wells, Texas. Rainfall in excess of 20 inches was recorded near Clyde. Texas and in several locations near Breckenridge, Texas. The large quantity of rainfall in the Hubbard Creek drainage basin...

Planning report for the Gulf Coast Regional Aquifer-System Analysis in the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain, United States Planning report for the Gulf Coast Regional Aquifer-System Analysis in the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain, United States
Large quantities of water for municipal, industrial and agriculture use are supplied from the aquifers in Tertiary and younger sediments over an area of about 225,000 square miles in the Coastal Plain of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Three regional aquifer systems, the Mississippi Embayment aquifer system, the...

Effects of ground-water development in the North Fort Hood area, Coryell County, Texas Effects of ground-water development in the North Fort Hood area, Coryell County, Texas
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the adequacy of the existing ground-water supplies of North Fort Hood, located in Coryell County in central Texas and an important part of the U.S. Army's Fort Hood Military Reservation. The U.S. Geological Survey was requested to compile the available ground-water data, collect additional data, and assess the effects of the long-term...
