Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974 Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974

Water-resources investigations in Texas consist of the collection of basic records through the hydrologic-data network, interpretive studies, and research projects. An office was established in Austin, Texas, in 1915 for surface-water studies, for ground-water studies in 1929, and water-quality studies in 1937. Previous investigations of the water resources of Texas were carried out by...

Evaluation of reservoir sites in North Carolina: Regional relations for estimating the reservoir capacity needed for a dependable water supply Evaluation of reservoir sites in North Carolina: Regional relations for estimating the reservoir capacity needed for a dependable water supply

Draft-storage-frequency relations, which show the storage required for a reservoir to furnish a specified withdrawal or draft are regionalized for four zones in the State, using the mean annual flow of the streams as an index. The differences between the zones primarily reflect differences in the variability of stream flow. To assure the available draft will fall below 75 percent of the...
