Analog-model studies of the effects of recharge wells along the Houston Ship Channel on potentiometric surfaces of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, Houston, Texas
Because of increasing concern about the continuing decline of water levels in the Houston area, an electric analog model was used to determine the effects on the potentiometric surfaces resulting from recharging water through wells along the Houston Ship Channel into the two major aquifers, the Chicot and Evangeline.The model conditions simulated for this study are too complex to be described in d

Effects of Urbanization on Floods in the Houston, Texas Metropolitan Area
Rainfall and runoff data from drainage basins in the Houston metropolitan area and a 60-year rainfall record for the National Weather Service station, Houston-City, were used to simulate 60 annual flood peaks at 26 sites. Selected frequency characteristics, based on these simulated annual peaks, are related to drainage area and percentage of impervious area. These relations, which may be used to e

Artificial-recharge experiments and operations on the Southern High Plains of Texas and New Mexico
Experiments using highly turbid water from playa lakes for injection into the Ogallala Formation have resulted in greatly decreased yield of the recharge wells, Recharge of ground or surface water of good quality has indicated, however, that injection through wells is an effective method of recharging the aquifer. Water that is slightly turbid can be successfully injected for a period of time, but

Factors contributing to unusually low runoff during the period 1962-68 in the Concho River Basin, Texas
To determine the reasons for the unusually low runoff in the Concho River basin during the period 1962-68, the physical developments and climatic changes in the basin were identified and related to changes in the regimen of streamflow.
Land use, brush infestation, and land-treatment practices have not caused significant changes in the rainfall-runoff relationship.
The use of surface water for irri
