Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1973
The purpose of this report is to present rainfall and runoff data for the Waller Creek and Wilbarger Creek study areas for the 1973 water year (October 1, 1972 to September 30, 1973).

Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Annual recharge data obtained from historical records and mean-annual precipitation data computed from rainfall records were used to develop simple linear-regression equations for use in estimating annual recharge for seven subbasins in the San Antonio area. Adjustments were made to the precipitation parameter to account for the effects of year-end storms. The standard errors of estimate of the re

Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71
Tritium concentrations of samples from 50 wells and springs in the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area of Texas have been analysed. Tritium now in the aquifer is partly natural cosmic ray produced tritium, but most is tritium produced by atmospheric thermonuclear tests in the 1950's and early 1960's. The tritium levels in atmospheric precipitation and streams recharging the Edwards are present

Effects of urbanization on floods in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area
The effects of urbanization on flood characteristics of streams in the Dallas metropolitan area were studied by use of a digital model of the hydrologic system. The model was calibrated by using observed rainfall and runoff data from 19 storms in six basins having various degrees of urbanization. The calibrated models were used with a 57- year rainfall record to simulate 57-year records of annual

Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico
Floods produced by Hurricane Beulah during September and October 1967 were outstanding because of the magnitude of the stage and discharge and because of the number of river basins affected. Previously known maximum stages were exceeded, at the downstream station, in five river basins in Texas by amounts ranging from 2.7 feet at Guadalupe River near Tivoli to 9.2 feet at Aransas River near Skidmor

Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown is becoming critical because much of the area is now subject to inundation by high tides.
Production of oil and gas from the Goose Creek Field on the southea

Pesticides data-collection activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas
The water-resources investigations program of the Geological Survey has the objective of seeing that the Nation's water resources are appraised and that the necessary water data to develop and manage them efficiently are available when needed. In carrying out this objective, the Survey is the primary source of hydrologic data that are basic not only to the quantification of the water resource but
