Preliminary report on investigation of salt springs and seeps in a portion of the Permian Basin in Texas Preliminary report on investigation of salt springs and seeps in a portion of the Permian Basin in Texas
The Permian Basin (fig. 1) comprises a large area in the southern midcontinent region and includes major portions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Within this basin brine springs and seeps discharge more than 20,000 tons per day of sodium chloride (common table salt). This brine contaminates many streams greatly impairing the utility of their waters. The water in some streams...

Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of surface waters of the Sabine River Basin, Texas and Louisiana Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of surface waters of the Sabine River Basin, Texas and Louisiana
The Sabine River basin has an abundant supply .of surface water of excellent quality. The basin area of 9,700 square miles receives an average of about 48 inches of rainfall per year, of which about 13 inches flows to the Gulf of Mexico. Variations in the chemical quality of the surface waters in the Sabine River basin are caused principally by areal differences in geology and runoff...

Ground-water resources of the lower Mesilla Valley, Texas and New Mexico Ground-water resources of the lower Mesilla Valley, Texas and New Mexico
The lower Mesilla Valley extends southward from the vicinity of Anthony, Tex., to the gorge of the Rio Grande north of El Paso and westward from the Franklin Mountains to the east edge of La Mesa. The increase in the use of ground water for the public water supply of El Paso and for supplemental irrigation, when the surface-water allotments were inadequate, emphasized the need for an...

Hydrologic studies of small watersheds, Honey Creek basin, Collin and Grayson Counties, Texas, 1953-1959 Hydrologic studies of small watersheds, Honey Creek basin, Collin and Grayson Counties, Texas, 1953-1959
This report presents the results of an investigation into the effects of floodwaterretarding structures in the 39 square miles of the Honey Creek basin above the stream-gaging station near McKinney, during the period October 1952 to September 1959. The number of such structures in the study area was increased from 2 to 12 during the investigation. Data were collected which permit...

Natural sources of salinity in the Brazos River, Texas with particular reference to the Croton and salt Croton Creek basins Natural sources of salinity in the Brazos River, Texas with particular reference to the Croton and salt Croton Creek basins
The average daily load of the Brazos River at Possum Kingdom Reservoir is about 2,800 tons of dissolved solids, of which 1,000 tons is chloride. More than 85 percent of the chloride load is contributed by the Salt Fork Brazos River, and more than 50 percent of the chloride load of the Brazos River originates from salt springs and seeps in Croton and Salt Crotdn Creeks, which are...
