Reanalysis of the Medina/Diversion Lake System Water-Budget, with Estimated Recharge to Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio Area, Texas
October 17, 2017
Hydrologic water-budgets were calculated for the Medina and Diversion Lake system near San Antonio, Texas for periods between March 1955 and June 2002. The hydrologic-budgets were calculated from daily hydrologic data that included precipitation, evaporation, streamflow, and change in reservoir storage. The residual of the hydrologic budgets represent ground-water outflow from the Medina and Diversion Lake system to the Edwards aquifer. The ground-water outflow, sample size, standard deviation, and average Medina Lake stage, were computed from 127 water-budget periods ranging from 8 to 78 days from daily hydrologic data collected during March 1955-September 1964, October 1995-September 1996, and February 2001-June 2002.

Refining previous estimates of groundwater outflows from the Medina/Diversion Lake system, San Antonio area, Texas
IntroductionIn 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the San Antonio Water System, began a study to refine previously derived estimates of groundwater outflows from Medina and Diversion Lakes in south-central Texas near San Antonio. When full, Medina and Diversion Lakes (hereinafter referred to as the Medina/Diversion Lake system) (fig. 1) impound approximately 255,000 acre-
