Altitude of the water table in the alluvial and Wilcox aquifers in the vicinity of Richland and Tehuacana creeks and the Trinity River, Texas, December 1979 Altitude of the water table in the alluvial and Wilcox aquifers in the vicinity of Richland and Tehuacana creeks and the Trinity River, Texas, December 1979
This map shows the altitude of the water table in the alluvial and Wilcox aquifers in the vicinity of Richland and Tehuacana Creeks and the Trinity River, Tex., in December 1979. The water-table contours were constructed on the basis of water-level control derived from an inventory of shallow wells in the area, topographic maps, and field locations of numerous small springs and seeps....

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area, 1978 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area, 1978
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. In cooperation with the city of Austin...

Sediment and water discharge of the Colorado River at Matagorda, Texas: May 4-7, and June 7-11, 1979 Sediment and water discharge of the Colorado River at Matagorda, Texas: May 4-7, and June 7-11, 1979
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requested the U.S. Geological Survey to collect data on the Colorado River at Matagorda, Texas , to determine the total sediment discharge into Matagorda Bay if all the water from the Colorado River were diverted into the bay. Data were collected from two floods (May 4-7, and June 7-11 , 1979) with peak discharges of 24,900 cubic feet per second and 40...
