Characteristics of water-quality data for Lake Houston, selected tributary inflows to Lake Houston, and the Trinity River near Lake Houston (a potential source of interbasin transfer), August 1983-September 1990 Characteristics of water-quality data for Lake Houston, selected tributary inflows to Lake Houston, and the Trinity River near Lake Houston (a potential source of interbasin transfer), August 1983-September 1990
Lake Houston, a reservoir completed in 1954 about 25 miles east-northeast of Houston, Texas, is a principal surface-water source for the city of Houston. The increase in water supply to meet future demands is expected to be accommodated by supplementing surface-water inflows to Lake Houston. The Trinity River is considered a potential source for interbasin transfer of water to Lake...

Areal studies aid protection of ground-water quality in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin Areal studies aid protection of ground-water quality in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin
In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, initiated studies designed to characterize the ground-water quality and hydrogeology in northern Illinois, and southern and eastern Wisconsin (with a focus on the north-central Illinois cities of Belvidere and Rockford, and the Calumet region of northeastern Illinois and northwestern...

Quality of ground water in Webb County, Texas, 1997-98 Quality of ground water in Webb County, Texas, 1997-98
Rapid development and population growth are occurring in Webb County in south Texas (fig. 1). Water managers need information on the ground-water resources of the area to address the increased demand for water caused by the development. To help meet this need, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the City of Laredo, began a study in 1997 to assess the ground-water...

Sedimentation, sea-level rise and circulation in Florida Bay Sedimentation, sea-level rise and circulation in Florida Bay
Issue Recent algal blooms and seagrass mortality have raised concerns about the water quality of Florida Bay, particularly its nutrient content (nitrogen and phosphorus), hypersalinity, and turbidity. Water quality is closely tied to sediment transport processes because resuspension of sediments increases turbidity, releases stored nutrients, and facilitates sediment export to the reef...

Floods in the Guadalupe and San Antonio River Basins in Texas, October 1998 Floods in the Guadalupe and San Antonio River Basins in Texas, October 1998
Severe flooding in parts of south-central Texas resulted from a major storm during October 17–18, 1998. The flooding occurred in parts of the major streams and tributaries of the San Jacinto, San Benard, Colorado, Lavaca, Guadalupe, and San Antonio River Basins. Peak gage height, peak streamflow, and documentation of the significance of the peaks were compiled for the streamflow-gaging...
