Stream Science in Oklahoma and Texas - Overview
Rivers and streams play a vital role for communities and ecosystems across Oklahoma and Texas by providing water for drinking, recreation, and irrigation; recharging aquifers; aquatic life; and transporting sediment and nutrients. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) collects data and has science projects at several streams and their watersheds. Visit the links below for more...
Surface-Water and Groundwater Interaction Science in Oklahoma and Texas - Overview
Surface-water/groundwater interactions include the exchange of water, and the chemicals that may be present in the water, which can lead to issues with water supply and water quality. Groundwater can be a major contributor to streams, lakes, and wetlands while surface water can contribute recharge to groundwater. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) uses geophysics and other...
Peak Flow Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Annual peak streamflow (peak flow) at a streamgage is defined as the maximum instantaneous flow in a water year. A water year begins on October 1 and continues through September 30 of the following year. This definition of a water year is used because it more closely follows seasonal weather patterns. Peak flows in Texas can range from zero flow in very dry basins to flows that cause flooding and...
Lake and Reservoir Science in Oklahoma and Texas - Overview
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) collects data and has science projects at more than 200 reservoirs. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
Hurricane Response Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) has a hurricane response program which includes a rapid-deployment storm-surge monitor network in advance of hurricanes, real-time monitoring of streamflow throughout the impacted area during a hurricane, and collection of high-water marks and assessment of floods after hurricanes. Visit the links below for more information on our data and...
Inundation Mapping Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Flood-inundation maps created by the USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) allow users to view the possible extent and depth of flooding during a specific type of storm event. Flood inundation maps may be created using hydraulic models or by using data collected after a storm event (high-water marks). Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
Flood Early Warning Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) is developing hardened early flood warning systems to help first responders and citizens. This includes: • Flood hardened gages raised high above and set away from the measured stream. • Redundant data collection and transmission paths. • Automated notification systems for emergency managers and the general public.
