Land-surface subsidence at Seabrook, Texas Land-surface subsidence at Seabrook, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas, has caused a decline in fluid pressures, which is turn had resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Seabrook is due principally to the removal of water. Significnt subsidence of the land surface probably began after 1920, and a minimum of about 3.3 feet and a...

Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974 Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity River Authority of Texas, conducted timee-of-travel studies in the Trinity River basin during a period of low flow September 19-23, 1973, and during a period of moderate flow July 23-August 1, 1974. The purpose of these two studies was to provide data that could be used by the Trinity River...

Relation of water level and fish availability to wood stork reproduction in the southern Everglades, Florida Relation of water level and fish availability to wood stork reproduction in the southern Everglades, Florida
The wood stork is a species of colonial wading bird in the Everglades that is most sensitive to changes in the availability of food. Previous studies have shown that the initiation and success of wood stork nesting depends on high densities of fish concentrated in ponds and other catchment basins during the dry season. The extreme dependence of the wood stork on the cyclic hydrologic...

Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina
The sediment-transport characteristics of streams were determined in a 6,000-square-mile (15,500-square-kilometre) area of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of eastern North Carolina during 1969-73. The study covered all or parts of 21 counties and included data for 28 sediment-sampling stations located in parts of 4 major river basins, the Roanoke, Pamlico, Neuse, and Cape Fear...

Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Annual recharge data obtained from historical records and mean-annual precipitation data computed from rainfall records were used to develop simple linear-regression equations for use in estimating annual recharge for seven subbasins in the San Antonio area. Adjustments were made to the precipitation parameter to account for the effects of year-end storms. The standard errors of estimate...

Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1973 Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1973
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the implementation 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 that approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures would be...
