Urban Waters Federal Partnership - Edwards Aquifer Recharge in a Developing Landscape
San Antonio Texas consistently ranks as one of the fastest growing large cities in the United States. Urban development can affect groundwater quality as trees and open space are replaced by buildings and roads, increasing the amount of urban runoff draining directly into the Edwards aquifer. A network of sophisticated surface water and groundwater monitoring sites is being used to help managers...
Urban Waters Federal Partnership - Suspended Sediment and Nutrient Delivery to the Gulf of America
Suspended sediment and nutrients from greater San Antonio can affect instream ecological health of the San Antonio River and ultimately impact Gulf of America bays and estuaries. Real-time monitoring in urban and rural parts of the river basin may provide a glimpse into the importance of urban sediment and nutrient sources. Real-time sensors provide a tool to better understand and manage water...
Biological Resources of Big Thicket National Preserve, Texas
Innovations in three-dimensional seismic surveying technology spawned an unprecedented wave of oil and gas prospecting throughout Big Thicket National Preserve. The preserve resource managers were concerned about the potential impacts to aquatic resources from these operations. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) provided a baseline assessment of the biological resources in the...
Biological Resources in Big Bend National Park
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center provided Big Bend National Park with a comprehensive assessment of the status of instream and riparian-zone biological resources along with information and tools needed by Park staff to address the effects of continued low flows and water-quality degradation of the Rio Grande through Big Bend National Park.
Streamflow and Springflow at Comal and San Marcos River
The Comal and San Marcos Springs are the largest major springs in the San Antonio segment of the Edwards Aquifer in central Texas, and among the largest springs in the southwestern US. The Comal springs network in New Braunfels includes 9 main springs and hundreds of smaller springs, many located under Landa Lake. Likewise, the San Marcos springs network in San Marcos is made up of hundreds of...
Centennial Streamgages in Texas
John Wesley Powell recognized the need for identifying and quantifying water resources in anticipation of westward expansion and development. Systematic studies by USGS of water resources also began shortly after the agency was formed. Established in 1889, a site at Rio Grande at El Paso, Texas (USGS station ID 08364000) was one of the earliest continuously operated streamgage stations in Texas...
