Floods in the Rock River basin, Iowa
This report contains flood information for the Rock River basin in Iowa, it updates and supersedes the 1967 report "Floods in Rock River basin, Iowa" by P. J. Carpenter.
The occurrence of an outstanding flood in 1969 and the acquisition of additional flood data in the basin prompted the preparation of this report. The 1969 flood, the greatest flood on the Rock River in at least 45 years, is nearly

Preliminary report on land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. One critical area of subsidence is in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown. Much of this area is now subject to inundation by high tides. Production of oil and gas from the Goose Creek Field at the southern ed

Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1971
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. The objectives of this project are as follows: 1. To determine the effects of progressive urbanization on infiltration, rates of peak discharge, and rainfall-runoff relations in the Waller Creek watershed. 2. To provide rainfall-and-runoff data from the rura

Effects of ground-water development on the proposed Palmetto Bend Dam and Reservoir in southeast Texas
Ground water continues to discharge into the Navidad and Lavaca Rivers by seepage outflow even though large amounts of ground water are pumped for irrigation. Although a reduction in streamflow probably has occurred, a complete loss of the low flow of the streams by infiltration to a lowered water table seems remote. The large ground-waterwithdrawals will continue to cause land-surface subsidence,

Water-budget studies of lower Mesilla Valley and El Paso Valley, El Paso County, Texas
The total inflow of water to the lower Mesilla Valley in 1970 was 390,510 acre-feet. Of this amount, 43,300 acre-feet was consumptively used by crops and phreatophytes and 4,700 acre-feet was lost by evaporation. Ground-water storage increased by 320 acre-feet, and 360,860 acrefeet left the valley as surface- and ground-water outflow.
Ground-water recharge was approximately 26,170 acre-feet.Th
