Projected effects of proposed chloride-control projects on shallow ground water– Preliminary results for the Wichita River basin, Texas Projected effects of proposed chloride-control projects on shallow ground water– Preliminary results for the Wichita River basin, Texas
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' plan to control the natural chloride pollution in the Wichita River basin includes the construction of Truscott Brine Lake on a tributary of the North Wichita River. In connection with the proposed brine lake, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to: (1) Define the existing ground-water conditions in the shallow fresh-water system of the project area...

Summary of hydrologic information in the El Paso, Texas, area, with emphasis on ground-water studies, 1903-80 Summary of hydrologic information in the El Paso, Texas, area, with emphasis on ground-water studies, 1903-80
Significant development of ground water in the El Paso area started in the early 1900's; pumping gradually increased to the early 1950's and has since accelerated commensurate with the area's rapid population growth. In 1980, withdrawals of ground water for municipal, industrial, and military supplies totaled 164,354 acre-feet (203 cubic hectometers) within the El Paso, Fort Bliss, and...

Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas
An investigation was conducted to quantify and to determine distribution of streamflow losses and gains that occur during sustained flow conditions in the Balcones Fault Zone of the Nueces River basin. The streams studied include the West Nueces, Nueces, Dry Frio, Frio, and Sabinal Rivers, and Seco, Hondo, and Verde Creeks. Streamflow measurements made during the recession of storm flows

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...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin and Houston. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas metropolitan area at the end of the 1979 water year. The study in the San Antonio area was completed at the end...

Water levels and salinities of water within the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas Water levels and salinities of water within the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas
During 1982, about 275 wells located in a 4,680 square-mile area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas were measured to determine water-levels and specific conductance of water in the Evangeline aquifer. A large cone of depression with a maximum depth of 200 feet below NGVD of 1929 was identified near Kingsville. This cone of depression affects most of Kleburg County and parts of other...
