Freshwater withdrawals in Texas, 1985
Since 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has estimated water use in the United States at 5-year intervals. Resulting reports tabulate water use by State and by water-resources region (major river basins) for a number of categories, such as irrigation, water supply, and industrial. In 1977, the USGS began the National Water-Use Information Program, designed to be a National source of accurat

Ground-water withdrawals, water-level changes, land-surface subsidence, and ground-water quality in Fort Bend County, Texas, 1969-87
Fort Bend County, which has one of the fastest growing populations of all counties in the United States, is dependent entirely on ground water for public supply. Since 1969, at least 90 large-capacity wells have been drilled, of which 57 were public supply wells, 23 were irrigation wells, and 10 were industrial wells. All but seven of the new public-supply wells are located in the northeastern par

Potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas, winter, 1974-75
The potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units (from December 1974 through February 1975) was mapped as part of the Edwards-Trinity Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) project. A major goal of the Edwards-Trinity RASA project is to understand and describe the regional flow system (Bush, 1986). The development of a digital ground-wa

Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River from Dallas to Trinidad, Texas, May and August 1987
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the city of Dallas, conducted a study of the time of travel of solutes during moderate flow conditions in a reach of the Trinity River from the outfall of the Dallas Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (DCWTP) to the USGS streamflow-gaging station 08062700, Trinity River at Trinidad, in May and August 1987. Previous USGS time-of-travel studies

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-90 and 1989-90, and measured compaction, 1973-December 1989, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
This report is one in a series of reports that depict water-level changes since 1977 and compaction of subsurface material since 1973. The report was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston and the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and presents approximate water-level changes in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-90 and 1989-90 (figs. 1-4), and measured compacti

A finite-element model for simulation of two-dimensional steady-state ground-water flow in confined aquifers
A computer program based on the Galerkin finite-element method was developed to simulate two-dimensional steady-state ground-water flow in either isotropic or anisotropic confined aquifers. The program may also be used for unconfined aquifers of constant saturated thickness. Constant head, constant flux, and head-dependent flux boundary conditions can be specified in order to approximate a variety

National water summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use
Water use in the United States, as measured by freshwater withdrawals in 1985, averaged 338,000 Mgal/d (million gallons per day), which is enough water to cover the 48 conterminous States to a depth of about 2.4 inches. Only 92,300 Mgal/d, or 27.3 percent of the water withdrawn, was consumptive use and thus lost to immediate further use; the remainder of the withdrawals (72.7 percent) was return f

Flow pattern in regional aquifers and flow relations between the lower Colorado River valley and regional aquifers in six counties of southeastern Texas
The lower Colorado River discussed in this report consists of the 318- river-mile reach from Mansfield Dam near Austin, Texas, to the Gulf of Mexico. The river is underlain directly or indirectly by six regional aquifers the Trinity Group, Edwards, Carrizo-Wilcox, Queen City, Sparta, and Gulf Coast; the Trinity Group aquifer is further subdivided into the lower Trinity, middle Trinity, and upper T
