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...

Reconnaissance of ground water in vicinity of Wichita Mountains southwestern Oklahoma Reconnaissance of ground water in vicinity of Wichita Mountains southwestern Oklahoma
Urbanization and industrial growth have increased demands on water supplies in the vicinity of the Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma. The principal city, Lawton, uses surface water, supplemented by small quantities of ground water from the Arbuckle Group (Cambrian-Ordovician), for industrial and recreational use. During periods of drought, surface-water supplies in the Wichita...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981
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 Resources, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. In...

Water quality of Somerville Lake, south-central Texas Water quality of Somerville Lake, south-central Texas
Somerville Lake in south-central Texas is a shallow lake, with a mean depth of 14 feet. The maximum depth of the submerged channel of Yegua Creek is usually less than 35 feet and in most areas of the lake the depth is less than 10 feet. Several factors including thermal circulation resulting from the cooling of surface water, wind action, and the large inflow volume in realtion to the...

Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981 Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981
Water in Lake Arlington on Village Creek in north-central Texas had volume-weighted average concentrations of less than 240 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, less than 30 milligrams per liter of dissolved chloride, and less than 40 milligrams per liter of dissolved sulfate between January 29, 1973, and August 20, 1981. The water was moderately hard (hardness greater than 60 but...
