Analysis of water surface and flow distribution for the design flood at a proposed highway crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas Analysis of water surface and flow distribution for the design flood at a proposed highway crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas
The hydraulic effects of the proposed Texas Highway 43 crossing of the Sabine River near Tatum, Texas, were determined on the basis of results from a two-dimensional finite-element surface-water-flow model. In planning the replacement crossing by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, approximations of apportionment of flow among the openings and velocities...

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-89 and 1988-89, and measured compaction, 1973-89, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-89 and 1988-89, and measured compaction, 1973-89, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
This report presents data on water-level changes in the Chinot and Evangeline aquifers during 1977-89 and 1988-89 and data on measured compaction during 1973-89. Measurements of water level in 307 wells were used to construct the maps showing water-level changes. Compaction data were obtained from 12 wells equipped with compaction monitors at 11 sites.

Hydrogeology and predevelopment flow in the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems Hydrogeology and predevelopment flow in the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems
A multilayered ground-water flow system exists in the Coastal Plain sediments of Texas. The Tertiary and Quaternary clastic deposits have an area! extent of 128,000 square miles onshore and in the Gulf of Mexico. Two distinct aquifer systems are recognized for the sediments, which range in thickness from a few feet to more than 12,000 feet. The older system the Texas coastal uplands...

Hydrologic data for the Salt Bayou estuary near Sabine Pass, Texas, October 1984 to March 1986 Hydrologic data for the Salt Bayou estuary near Sabine Pass, Texas, October 1984 to March 1986
The Salt Bayou estuary, located in extreme southeast Texas near Sabine Pass, has been altered by construction of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway has interrupted the historical saltwater-freshwater exchange in this important estuary. This alteration may have had a detrimental effect on fish production because of increased salinity, and on waterfowl production because of lower...
