National water summary 1983: Hydrologic events and issues National water summary 1983: Hydrologic events and issues
The United States as a Nation possesses abundant water resources and has developed and used those resources extensively. The national renewable supply of water is about 1,400 billion gallons per day (for the conterminous 48 States). Approximately 380 billion gallons per day of freshwater is withdrawn for use by the Nation's homes, farms, and industries, and about 280 billion gallons per...

Effects of storm-water runoff on water quality of the Edwards Aquifer near Austin, Texas Effects of storm-water runoff on water quality of the Edwards Aquifer near Austin, Texas
Analyses of samples collected from Barton Springs at approximately weekly Intervals and from Barton Creek and five wells in the Austin area during selected storm-runoff periods generally show that recharge during storm runoff resulted in significant temporal and area! variations in the quality of ground water in the recharge zone of the Edwards aquifer. Recharge during storm runoff...
