Streamflow gains and losses in the Colorado River in northwestern Burnet and southeastern San Saba Counties, Texas Streamflow gains and losses in the Colorado River in northwestern Burnet and southeastern San Saba Counties, Texas
In October 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District, began an assessment to better understand if and where groundwater from the Ellenburger-San Saba aquifer is discharging to the Colorado River, and if and where Colorado River streamflow is recharging the Ellenburger-San Saba aquifer in the study area. Discharge...

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...
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...
