Maps showing ground-water units and withdrawal, Basin and Range Province, Texas
This report on ground-water units and withdrawal in the Basin and Range province of Texas (see index map) was prepared as part of a program of the U.S. Geological Survey to identify prospective regions for further study relative to isolation of high-level nuclear waste (Bedinger, Sargent, and Reed, 1984), utilizing program guidelines defined in Sargent and Bedinger (1984). Also included in this re

Effects of storm-water runoff on water quality of the Edwards Aquifer near Austin, Texas
Analyses of samples collected from Barton Springs at approximately weekly Intervals and from Barton Creek and five wells in the Austin area during selected storm-runoff periods generally show that recharge during storm runoff resulted in significant temporal and area! variations in the quality of ground water in the recharge zone of the Edwards aquifer. Recharge during storm runoff resulted in sig

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1983
The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and Texas Department of Water Resources, is to show the altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. The maps are based on water-level measurements in spring of 1983 in about 500 wells.

Statistical summary of daily values data and trend analysis of dissolved-solids data at National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) stations
A statistical summary is provided of the available continuous and once-daily discharge, specific-conductance, dissolved oxygen , water temperature, and pH data collected at NASQAN stations during the 1973-81 water years and documents the period of record on which the statistical calculations were based. In addition, dissolved-solids data are examined by regression analyses to determine the relatio

Effects of ground-water development in the North Fort Hood area, Coryell County, Texas
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the adequacy of the existing ground-water supplies of North Fort Hood, located in Coryell County in central Texas and an important part of the U.S. Army's Fort Hood Military Reservation. The U.S. Geological Survey was requested to compile the available ground-water data, collect additional data, and assess the effects of the long-term development of gro

Water quality of Somerville Lake, south-central Texas
Somerville Lake in south-central Texas is a shallow lake, with a mean depth of 14 feet. The maximum depth of the submerged channel of Yegua Creek is usually less than 35 feet and in most areas of the lake the depth is less than 10 feet.
Several factors including thermal circulation resulting from the cooling of surface water, wind action, and the large inflow volume in realtion to the lake volume

Conveyance characteristics of the Nueces River, Cotulla to Simmons, Texas
Analysis of discharge hydrographs for streamflow-gaging stations on the Nueces River at Cotulla, Tilden, and Simmons indicate that significant water losses occur along the 108-mile reach from Cotulla to Simmon during storm-runoff periods. Computed losses along the 83-mile reach from Cotulla to Tilden for 15 storm periods range from 32 to 59 percent of the total runoff volume passing the Cotulla ga
