Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Texas Gulf region Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Texas Gulf region
Ground water in the Texas-Gulf Region is a large and important resource that can provide a more significant percentage of the total water supply of the region. Total water requirements within the region are projected to rise sharply from 14 million acre-feet (17 cubic kilometres) in 1970 to nearly 26 million acre-feet (32.cubic kilometres) in 2020. About half of the water used in 1970...

Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana
Chemical analyses of water samples from 296 wells in the Red River alluvial aquifer indicate that the ground water in the valley is generally hard (more than 120 milligrams per liter) and has a high iron concentration (greater than 6,000 micrograms per liter). The predominant ions found in the water were calcium and bicarbonate. However, in places in the vicinity of Natchitoches, saline...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina
Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining the Winston-Salem area and of the main stem of the Yadkin...

Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1973 Water resources data for Georgia, water year 1973
Water resources data for the 1973 water year for Georgia include records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial record stations, miscellaneous sites, and records of water-quality data on the chemical and physical characteristics of surface-water as well as records for a few pertinent gaging and water-quality stations in bordering States. The records were collected...

Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972 Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a total of approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures to be...

The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72 The effect of heated water on the temperature and evaporation of Hyco Lake, North Carolina, 1966-72
Three levels of thermal loading of Hyco Lake by heat from two steam-electric generators have resulted in higher temperatures and increased evaporation in the 3,750-acre (1,518 square hectometer) lake. During the winter, local temperature increases of 34°F (19°C) were sometimes observed at the surface as heated water spread out on top of the cooler, more-dense, lake water, affecting areas...
