A Study of Institutional Factors Affecting Water Resource Development in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-09)
Despite numerous studies of and plans for the use of land and water resources of the lower Rio Grande Valley for efficient agricultural production, development has lagged and the production potential has not been realized. ...
A Study of the Economic Impact of Water Impoundment Through Validity Testing of a Comparitive-Projection Model
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-08)
An established economic simulation model for reservoir development was applied to ten reservoir projects throughout Texas. The model as a predictor of economic impact was given a difficult test because of the diversity of ...
Investigation of a Linear Model to Describe Hydrologic Phenomenon of Drainage Basins
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-12)
This investigation is concerned with the applicability of the linear convolution relationship for approximating the rainfall-runoff phenomenon for small drainage basins. A solution for the transfer function of the convolution ...
Studies of Turbulence in Shallow Sediment Laden Flow With Superimposed Rainfall
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1968-01)
The structure of turbulence has been shown to affect the sediment carrying capability of streams. Due to the random nature of turbulence, sediment movement was analyzed as a stochastic process. Starting with the Langevin ...
Influence of Fatty Alcohols and Acids on the Clarity and Biota of Impounded Reservoirs
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1969-02)
This project presents results on a laboratory and field investigation of some of the biological and physical effects as a result of the use of a 1:1 mixture of hexadecanol and octadecanol. Laboratory investigations were ...
TR-2: Flume Studies of Sediment Transportation in Shallow Flow with Simulated Rainfall
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1966-01)
This study involves four of the twelve major river basins of the state of Texas and is essentially a proposal to divert water from the Red River into the Trinity, Neches and Sabine River Basins. When first considered, it ...
Techniques for Hydrograph Synthesis Based on Analysis of Data from Small Drainage Basins in Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1966-05)
The report by the Committee on Surface Water Hydrology of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (2) has pointed out that one of the areas in hydrology lacking adequate research is the investigation of runoff from ...
On the Feasibility of Precisely Measuring the Properties of a Precipitating Cloud with a Weather Radar
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1967-12)
In this paper the results of an investigation are presented that are concerned with the feasibility of employing a weather radar to make precise measurements of the properties of a precipitating cloud. A schematic cloud ...
Streamflow Forecasting Based on Statistical Applications and Measurements Made with Rain Gage and Weather Radar
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1967-08)
Techniques for streamflow forecasting are developed and tested for the Little Washita River in Oklahoma. The basic input for streamflow forecasts is rainfall. the rainfall amounts may be obtained from several sources; ...
Input-Output as a Method of Evaluahon of the Economic Impact of Water Resources Development
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1968-05)
In this report the results of a study of the use of input-output analysis to evaluate the economic impact of water resources development are presented. Blackburn Crossing reservoir on the Upper Neches river was the subject ...
