Documentation of a data base on lake and reservoir water quality in the United States
The report describes the procedures used to select, retrieve, compile, and screen a lake and reservoir data base from the STORET (STOrage and RETrieval) system of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Procedures used to select, compile, and screen the size of the data base also are discussed. The retrieved data comprise 116 water-quality and biological constituents and physical and morphometri

National Water-Quality Assessment program: The Trinity River Basin
In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began to implement a full-scale National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. The long-term goals of the NAWQA program are to describe the status and trends in the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources and to provide a sound, scientific understanding of the primary natural and human factors affect

Hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems
A complex, multilayered ground-water flow system exists in the Coastal Plain sediments of Texas. The Tertiary and Quaternary clastic deposits have an areal extent of 114,000 square miles onshore and in the Gulf of Mexico. Two distinct aquifer systems are recognized within the sediments, which range in thickness from a few feet to more than 12,000 feet The older system--the Texas coastal uplands aq

National water summary 1988–89 — Hydrologic events and floods and droughts
National Water Summary 1988-89 - Hydrologic Events and Floods and Droughts documents the occurrence in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands of two types of extreme hydrologic events floods and droughts on the basis of analysis of stream-discharge data. This report details, for the first time, the areal extent of the most notable floods and droughts in each State, portrays th

Withdrawals from the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas, December 1974 through March 1977
The Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units (fig. 1) are being studied as a part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program. The aquifer system, which underlies about 40,000 mi2 in west-central Texas, comprises mostly near-surface carbonate rocks, sand, and sandstone of Early Cretaceous age (Bush, 1986). Most groundwater with

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, January-February 1990
This report is one in a series of reports that depict altitudes of water levels since 1977, the most recent of which (Barbie and other, 1989) presented maps of the altitudes of water levels for 1989. This report was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston and the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and presents approximate altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Ev
