Stratigraphic and hydrogeologic framework of part of the coastal plain of Texas Stratigraphic and hydrogeologic framework of part of the coastal plain of Texas
The subsurface delineation of hydrogeologic units of Miocene and younger age and stratigraphic units of Paleocene to Holocene age establishes and interrelationship of these units statewide across much of the Coastal Plain of Texas. The 11 dip sections and 1 strike section, which extend from the land surface to 7 ,600 feet below sea level, provide continuity of correlation from the...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975 Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1975
Detailed rainfall-runoff computations, including hydrographs and mass curves, are presented for nine storm periods during the 1975 water year in drainage basins in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The information will be useful in determining the extent to which progressive urbanization will affect the yield and mode of occurrence of storm runoff. (Woodard-USGS)

Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Texas
Drainage area, slope, and mean annual precipitation were the only factors that were statistically significant at the 95-percent confidence level when the characteristics of the drainage basins were used as independent variables in a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of natural, unregulated streams in Texas. The State was divided into six regions on the basis of the...

Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma Hydrologic data for the Vamoosa Aquifer, east-central Oklahoma
Most of the data presented in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a study of the geohydrology of the Vamoosa aquifer, in east-central Oklahoma, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Some of the data listed in the tables were collected by Bingham and Moore (1975) and Bingham and Bergman (in press). Acknowledgment is extended to city officials...

Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I
Regional decline of aquifer head due to ground-water withdrawal in the Houston area has caused extensive land-surface subsidence. The NASA Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in southeastern Harris County was about 13 to 19 feet (4.0 to 5.8 meters) above mean sea level in 1974 and sinking at a rate of more than 0.2 foot (0.06 meter) per year. NASA-JSC officials, concerned about the hurricane...

Development of ground water in the Houston District, Texas, 1970-74 Development of ground water in the Houston District, Texas, 1970-74
Total withdrawals of ground water in the Houston district, Texas , increased 9 percent from about 488 million gallons per day in 1970 to about 532 million gallons per day in 1974. The average annual rate of increase from 1960 to 1969 was about 6.3 percent. During 1970-74, increases in pumpage occurred in the Houston, Katy, and NASA areas; decreases occurred in the Pasadena and Alta Loma...
