Flood of May 24-25, 1981, in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area
Hydrologic data pertaining to the magnitude and areal extent of flooding that occurred on May 24-25, 1981, along Shoal, Walnut, and Little Walnut Creeks in the Austin, Texas, metropolitan area are presented in this atlas. The flood boundary maps and other flood data provide a technical data base for land-use planning.

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1982
The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the 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 1982 in about 550 wells.

Approximate water-level changes in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-82 and 1981-82, and measured compaction 1973-82, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
This report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, presents data on water-level changes during 1977-82 and 1981-82 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers (fig. 1-4) and data on measured compaction 1973-82 (fig. 5). During these periods, ground-water pumping decreased in Galveston Cou

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1979-80
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas metropolitan area at the end of the 1979 water year.
The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas D

Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Dallas - Fort Worth metropolitan area, Texas
Equations for predicting the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area were developed from recorded data from streams with drainage areas ranging in size from 1.25 to 66.4 square miles. The U. S. Geological Survey urban rainfall-runoff model was used to generate long-term flood-discharge record for gaged streams in the area. Simulated and recorded annual-peak dat

Water quality of Belton Lake, central Texas
The concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate in Belton Lake on the Leon River in central Texas average about 240 milligrams per liter, 40 milligrams per liter, and 30 milligrams per liter, respectively. The water is hard or very hard, averaging 170 milligrams per liter as calcium carbonate. The average concentrations of these constituents and hardness are least during late summer

Projected effects of proposed salinity-control projects on shallow ground water; preliminary results for the upper Brazos River basin, Texas
As part of the plan to control the natural salt pollution in the upper Brazos River basin of Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recommended construction of three impoundment and retention reservoirs. In connection with the proposed reservoirs, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to define the existing ground-water conditions in the shallow ground-water system of the area and to project t

Ground-water withdrawals and changes in water levels in the Houston District, Texas
During 1975-79, total withdrawals of ground water in the Houston district decreased by 9.7 percent. This percentage represents a decrease from 505 million gallons per day (22.1 cubic meters per second) during 1975, to 456 million gallons per day (20.0 cubic meters per second) during 1979. The decrease resulted from an increased use of surface water that became available from Lake Livingston on the
