A digital model for simulation of ground-water hydrology in the Houston area, Texas
This report documents the construction and calibration of a digital model for the simulation of hydrologic conditions in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area of southeastern Texas. The model is a five-layer finite-difference model, with a grid pattern of 63 x 67 nodes representing an area of 27,000 square miles, for simulation of three- dimensional ground-water flow. The hydrolog

Water quality of Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River, southeastern Texas
The concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate in Livingston Reservoir on the Trinity River in southeastern Texas usually average less than 250 mg/l (milligrams per liter), 40 mg/l, and 50 mg/l, respectively. The water is usually hard or moderately hard (61 to 180 mg/l as calcium carbonate). The concentrations of principal dissolved constituents in the reservoir are usually maximum

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, Spring 1977 and Spring 1978
The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the cities of Houston and Galveston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, is to show the altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. The maps are based on water-level measurements in 1977 and 1978 in abo

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Fort Worth, Texas, metropolitan area, 1977
Hydrologic investigations of urban areas in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These investigations are now in progress in several major metropolitan areas including Austin, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.In October 1968, the Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Fort Worth, began a program of hydrologic investigations on several small

Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1977
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing structures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found that approximately 3,500 floodwaterretarding structures would be physically and eco

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area, 1977
In August 1961, the Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Dallas, began a program of investigations designed to evaluate hydrologic factors affecting floods on several small streams in Dallas. During the 1977 water year, the original program was expanded to include the greater Dallas metropolitan area.

Selected water-level records for Oklahoma, 1976-1978
A systematic program to collect water-level records in Oklahoma began in 1937. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for use in basic research.Water-level data in table 1 a
