Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very favorably with observed data. Analyses of geologic and...

Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976 Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
This report contains rainfall, runoff, and storage data collected during the 1976 water year for a 75.5 sq mi area above the stream-gaging station Little Elm Creek near Aubrey, Texas. Floodflows from 35.7 sq mi of the area are regulated by 16 floodwater-retarding structures constructed by the Soil Conservation Service. During the 1976 water year, five storm periods were selected for...

Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Moses Lake in due principally to the removal of ground water in adjacent areas. Significant subsidence of the land surface at Moses Lake began after 1900, and as much as...

The water quality of Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River, Southeastern Texas The water quality of Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River, Southeastern Texas
The concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate in Livingstone Reservoir on the Trinity River in southeastern Texas usually average less than 250 mg/1 (milligrams per litre), 40 mg/1, and 50 mg/1, respectively. The water is usually hard or moderately hard (61 to 180 mg/1 as calcium carbonate). The concentrations of principal dissolved constituents in the reservoir are...

Digital model for simulated effects of ground-water pumping in the Hueco Bolson, El Paso Area, Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico Digital model for simulated effects of ground-water pumping in the Hueco Bolson, El Paso Area, Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico
The Hueco Bolson provides a substantial part of the municipal and industrial water supply of the El Paso area of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. Although the supply 6f fresh ground water in the bolson is large, about 10.6 million acre-feet (13,070 hm3) in 1973 in the Texas part of the bolson alone, the supply is being depleted. A two-layer digital model of the Hueco Bolson was developed...

Salt-water encroachment in aquifers near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas Salt-water encroachment in aquifers near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas
Interpretations based on analyses of inorganic constituents, dissolved organic carbon, and tritium in ground water and surface waters indicate that the Houston Ship Channel is the source of salt water that has been detected in shallow wells between Baytown and Houston, Texas. Analyses of the ratios of the stable isotopes of carbon, sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen were inconclusive as to the...
