Depth to Groundwater Measured from Wells in the Greater Houston area, Texas, 2024 Depth to Groundwater Measured from Wells in the Greater Houston area, Texas, 2024
This dataset documents depth to groundwater measurements made from wells screened in the Chicot aquifer, Evangeline aquifer, Jasper aquifer, Burkeville confining unit, Catahoula confining unit, or a combination of these hydrogeologic units in the greater Houston area, Texas for 2024. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) prepared this dataset in cooperation with the Harris‐Galveston...
Groundwater quality at the Falcon Refinery Superfund Site near Ingleside, Texas, January 2024 Groundwater quality at the Falcon Refinery Superfund Site near Ingleside, Texas, January 2024
The Falcon Refinery Superfund Site (hereinafter referred to as “the Site”) is located in San Patricio County near Ingleside, Texas. The Site occupies approximately 104 noncontiguous acres that are divided into the North Site, the South Site, and a barge dock facility. Surface water drainage from the Site enters wetlands along the southeastern section of the property associated with this...
Passive water quality sampling at discrete vertical intervals to support the development of a conceptual site model development at the Geneva Industries/Fuhrmann Energy Superfund Site, Houston, Texas, 2023 Passive water quality sampling at discrete vertical intervals to support the development of a conceptual site model development at the Geneva Industries/Fuhrmann Energy Superfund Site, Houston, Texas, 2023
The Geneva Industries/Fuhrmann Energy Superfund Site (hereinafter referred to as "the Site") in southeastern Houston, Texas was historically used as a site for petroleum exploration and petrochemical production and is currently (2024) inactive. Previous remedies to clean up the contaminated site included the excavation and off-site disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated...
Volatile and semivolatile organic compound concentrations in paired porewater and surface-water samples and groundwater samples at the Garland Creosoting Superfund Site, Longview, Texas, 2023–24 Volatile and semivolatile organic compound concentrations in paired porewater and surface-water samples and groundwater samples at the Garland Creosoting Superfund Site, Longview, Texas, 2023–24
The Garland Creosoting Superfund Site in Longview, Texas is an abandoned wood treatment facility that used creosote to preserve wood products between 1960 and 1997. Previous remediation activities at the contaminated site included excavation of creosote-contaminated soil and the installation of an interceptor collector trench and groundwater treatment system to prevent the movement of...
MODFLOW-NWT model data used to simulate base flow and groundwater availability under different future climatic conditions for reach 1 of the Washita River alluvial aquifer and Foss Reservoir, western Oklahoma MODFLOW-NWT model data used to simulate base flow and groundwater availability under different future climatic conditions for reach 1 of the Washita River alluvial aquifer and Foss Reservoir, western Oklahoma
A previously calibrated MODFLOW-NWT groundwater-flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205118) was used to determine the effects of climate variability under a range of future climatic conditions on groundwater resources in the reach 1 of the Washita River alluvial aquifer in western Oklahoma. The study area focuses on reach 1 of the Washita River alluvial aquifer; the entire Washita...
Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) Independent Validation Data Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) Independent Validation Data
Rangeland ecosystems provide critical wildlife habitat (e.g., greater sage grouse, pronghorn, black-footed ferret), forage for livestock, carbon sequestration, provision of water resources, and recreational opportunities. At the same time, rangelands are vulnerable to climate change, fire, and anthropogenic disturbances. The arid-semiarid climate in most rangelands fluctuates widely...
