Modeling Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Models provide the capability to simulate scenarios of possible future conditions and management options to help water-resource professionals with planning decisions. Groundwater models are commonly used to evaluate changes to the water budget of an aquifer resulting from land-use changes, water withdrawals, and climate, and how these changes affect streamflow, lake levels, water quality, and...
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...
Nutrient Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) researches nutrients by analyzing water samples and habitats across the State. Information about the occurrence and abundance of nutrients is critical for understanding and maintaining water resources across Texas. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
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.
