Natural sources of salinity in the Brazos River, Texas with particular reference to the Croton and salt Croton Creek basins

Effects of drought in central and south Texas
The effects of drought upon ground-water storage and discharge, and upon streamflow, vary tremendously in the central third of Texas (the area from the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico). Extremes are represented by (a) the Llano Estacado, where the drought had negligible effect upon ground-water resources, which are being progressively depleted by pumping for irrigation; and (b) the Balcones fault-

Ground water geology of Edwards County, Texas
Edwards County occupies 2,075 square miles of the southern part of the Edwards Plateau in southwest Texas. In 1950 it had a population of 2,908. Its thin limestone soil supports the characteristic flora of a semiarid region. The county is underlain by nearly flat-lying beds of limestone and a few beds of shale and marl.
The Glen Rose limestone of Cretaceous age, the oldest formation tapped by wate
