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...

Chemical and hydrologic assessment of the Caloosahatchee River basin, Lake Okeechobee to Franklin Lock, Florida Chemical and hydrologic assessment of the Caloosahatchee River basin, Lake Okeechobee to Franklin Lock, Florida

Annual discharge (1970-79 water years) from Lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee River averaged 51 percent of the total river discharge at Franklin Lock and ranged from 10 to 71 percent of total discharge. Excluding rainfall on the river surface and upstream seepage, surface and subsurface runoff from the basin accounted for the remaining total river discharge at Franklin Lock. Nitrogen...

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...

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

Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia

The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated to be reached at average intervals of 10 to 25 years. Flows in the Flint River from central to southwest...
