Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Texas Gulf region Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Texas Gulf region
Ground water in the Texas-Gulf Region is a large and important resource that can provide a more significant percentage of the total water supply of the region. Total water requirements within the region are projected to rise sharply from 14 million acre-feet (17 cubic kilometres) in 1970 to nearly 26 million acre-feet (32.cubic kilometres) in 2020. About half of the water used in 1970...

Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana
Chemical analyses of water samples from 296 wells in the Red River alluvial aquifer indicate that the ground water in the valley is generally hard (more than 120 milligrams per liter) and has a high iron concentration (greater than 6,000 micrograms per liter). The predominant ions found in the water were calcium and bicarbonate. However, in places in the vicinity of Natchitoches, saline...
