Contaminant Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Contamination is the degradation of water quality compared to its original or natural conditions. USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) scientists have been part of several projects to quantify the presence and effects of contaminants in surface water, groundwater, and sediment across Texas. OTWSC scientists also have looked at specific contaminant issues, such as establishing baseline...
Coastal Science in Texas
Coastal science at the USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) includes groundwater, surface water, and water-quality studies. Surface water includes coastal waters, estuaries, and major inflows to the coast. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
Biological Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) provides policy makers, public agencies, non-governmental organizations, and stakeholders with baseline data and interpretations on the occurrence and distribution of instream and riparian-zone biological resources; assesses the status and trends of instream and riparian-zone biological resources in relation to differences in channel habitat...
Invasive Species Science in Oklahoma and Texas
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) has studies looking at the occurrence and impact of invasive species in Oklahoma and Texas. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
Edwards Aquifer Studies in Texas
The Edwards aquifer in south-central Texas is one of the most productive aquifers in the Nation and is the primary source of water for the rapidly growing San Antonio area. Springs issuing from the Edwards aquifer provide habitat for several threatened and endangered species, serve as locations for recreational activities, and supply downstream users. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center...
Washita River Reach 3 and 4 Alluvial Aquifer Study
The objectives of this investigation are to describe the hydrogeology, and construct, calibrate, and use a numerical groundwater-flow model to simulate the effects of transient stresses and various pumping and climate scenarios for Reaches 3 and 4 of the Washita River alluvial aquifer.
Groundwater Modeling at the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center
The Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center performs computer simulations using MODFLOW to simulate groundwater/surface-water interaction, quantify groundwater resources, and evaluate the effects of withdrawals on future groundwater supplies for aquifers in Oklahoma and Texas.
Estimated Water Withdrawals in Oklahoma, 1995
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) established the National Water-Use Information Program in 1977 to collect uniform, current, and reliable information on water use. The USGS has compiled national estimates every 5 years since 1950. The most recent national water use compilation is for 1995. The data presented here are the result of the 1995 compilation effort for Oklahoma. The Oklahoma-Texas Water...
Upper Washita River Alluvial Aquifer Study
This project is a detailed study of the groundwater and surface water, the hydrogeology, climate, and base flow to streams, and the effects of water use and changes in weather and climate on the hydrologic system. The study includes field collection of groundwater and streamflow data, mapping the water table, aquifer base, and water use.
Effects of Brush Management on Water Budget and Water Quantity, Honey Creek State Natural Area
Woody vegetation, including ashe juniper ( Juniperus ashei), has encroached on areas in central Texas that were historically oak grassland savannah. Encroachment of woody vegetation is generally attributed to overgrazing and fire suppression. Removing ashe juniper and allowing native grasses to reestablish in the area as a brush management conservation practice might change the hydrology in the...
