Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975
Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, including hydrographs and mass curves, are presented for nine storm periods during the 1975 water year in drainage basins in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. (Woodard-USGS)

Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas
Drainage area, slope, and mean annual precipitation were the only factors that were statistically significant at the 95-percent confidence level when the characteristics of the drainage basins were used as independent variables in a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of natural, unregulated streams in Texas. The State was divided into six regions on the basis of the...

Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma
Most of the data presented in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a study of the geohydrology of the Vamoosa aquifer, in east-central Oklahoma, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Some of the data listed in the tables were collected by Bingham and Moore (1975) and Bingham and Bergman (in press). Acknowledgment is extended to city officials...

Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia Ground-water resources and geology of Colquitt County, Georgia
Limestone beds of Eocene, Oligocene, and lower Miocene age, called the principal artesian aquifer, are the chief source of ground water for Colquitt County. Because streams are small, undependable and relatively inaccessible to most users, ground water is the most important source for increased industrial and agricultural water use. Southeast of Moultrie the principal artesian aquifer is...

Approximate areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer systems in the Houston-Galveston area, Texas Approximate areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer systems in the Houston-Galveston area, Texas
The purpose of this report is to show the general geographic areas of recharge to the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas (fig. 1). The areas of recharge shown on the map were determined by interpretations of subsurface hydrology, soil surveys of Harris County, and surface and subsurface geology.

Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975 Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975
Mountain Creek drains the northeast corner of Johnson County, the northwest corner of Ellis County, the southeast corner of Tarrant County, and part of the southwest corner of Dallas County, Tex. The basin is 30 miles long and averages 10 miles in width. The total drainage area at the mouth is 304 sq mi. Basin outflow for the 1975 water year was 146,400 acre-feet which is 68,880 acre...

Ground-water resources along the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina Ground-water resources along the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
The best areas to develop ground water along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina are in broad draws and in stream valleys where draws open to the valleys. Saprolite thickness in these places can exceed 50 feet and provide adequate ground-water storage; draws are topographic expressions of fracture zones in the underlying bedrock, which transmit water from the overlying saprolite to...
