Hydrologic effects of floodwater-retarding structures on Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, Texas

The Texas District of the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has collected and analyzed hydrologic data since 1953 to define the effects of systems of floodwater-retarding structures on downstream water and sediment yield. The district project includes 11 study areas ranging from 18 to 80 square miles in size and from 0 to 67 in percent of study area controlled by floodwaterret

Geology and water quality at selected locations in the San Antonio area, Texas, Progress Report, 1969

The Edwards aquifer is the principal source of water supply for the San Antonio area. Increasing urban development on or adjacent to the recharge area of the aquifer is causing great concern because of possible pollution of the ground water. A detailed map of the surface geology has been prepared for areas where the greatest threat of pollution exists. Water-quality data are being collected throug

Ground water in the Ogallala formation in the southern high plains of Texas and New Mexico

The Ogallala Formation of Tertiary (Pliocene) age is the principal aquifer in the Southern High Plains of western Texas and eastern New Mexico. This heavily pumped aquifer supplies practically all the water used for irrigation, municipal, industrial (except oil-field repressuring), and domestic purposes. Although the ground water in the Ogallala Formation in the Southern High Plains is common to b
