Reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrogeology of Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas Reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrogeology of Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas

An investigation at Lackland Air Force Base and Lackland Air Force Base Training Annex (Medina Base) was conducted from May to September 1988 to delineate the subsurface geology, to describe the hydrogeology within the study area, and to determine possible migration pathways for contaminants. Data from this investigation supplement data collected in conjunction with other Air Training...

National water summary 1990-91: Hydrologic events and stream water quality National water summary 1990-91: Hydrologic events and stream water quality

National Water Summary 1990-91 Hydrologic Events and Stream Water Quality was planned to complement existing Federal-State water-quality reporting to the U.S. Congress that is required by the Clean Water Act of 1972. This act, formally known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-500), and its amendments in 1977,1979,1980,1981,1983, and 1987, is the...

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, January-February 1991 Approximate altitude of water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, January-February 1991

This report is one in a series of reports that annually depict altitudes of water levels since 1977, the most recent of which (Barbie and others, 1991) presented maps of the altitudes of water levels for 1990. This report was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston and the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and preents approximate altitudes of water levels in wells in...

Approximate changes in water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-93 and 1992-93, and measured compaction, 1973-92, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas Approximate changes in water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-93 and 1992-93, and measured compaction, 1973-92, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas

This report is one in a series of reports that depict water-level changes since 1977 and compaction of subsurface material since 1973. The report was prepared in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District and the City of Houston, and presents maps showing the approximate changes in water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-93 and...

Summary of hydrologic data for the San Gabriel River basin and Edwards Aquifer, Georgetown area, Texas, water year 1990 Summary of hydrologic data for the San Gabriel River basin and Edwards Aquifer, Georgetown area, Texas, water year 1990

The Edwards aquifer is the principal source of freshwater for municipal, domestic, and industrial users in the Georgetown area. Other sources of freshwater are Lake Georgetown and the streams draining the San Gabriel River basin. Lake Georgetown, located on the North Fork San Gabriel River west of Georgetown, is a freshwater supply for some municipalities in the area. Water in the San...

Evaluation of the use of remote-sensing data to identify crop types and estimate irrigated acreage, Uvalde and Medina counties, Texas, 1989 Evaluation of the use of remote-sensing data to identify crop types and estimate irrigated acreage, Uvalde and Medina counties, Texas, 1989

Remote-sensing data were used to estimate that 190,000 acre-feet of water was pumped from the Edwards aquifer in 1989 to irrigate crops in Uvalde and Medina Counties. Landsat digital satellite images for March and July 1989 were combined and classified to identify the areas of crops irrigated with water from the Edwards aquifer in the two counties. Normalized difference, the difference...

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1991-92 in Fort Bend County and adjacent areas, Texas Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1991-92 in Fort Bend County and adjacent areas, Texas

This report was prepared in cooperation with the Fort Bend Subsidence District, and presents data on water-level changes during 1991-92 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer (fig. 1-2) in Fort Bend County. Water-level change maps were prepared previously by Locke (1990),and Locke and Barbie (1991), for both aquifers, and by Wesselman (1972) for the Chicot aquifer.

Hydrogeologic maps of the central Oklahoma aquifer, Oklahoma Hydrogeologic maps of the central Oklahoma aquifer, Oklahoma

This report presents hydrogeologic maps of the Central Oklahoma aquifer. The maps were prepared by measuring water levels in wells during the winder of 1986 and 1987; examination of geophysical logs to determine the altitudes of the top of selected geologic units and the base of fresh ground water; and compilation of existing information on the stratigraphy of selected geologic units and...
