(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)Solar energy is a possible alternate energy source for space heating. A method of economic long term solar energy storage is needed. Researchers have proposed storing solar energy by heating water using solar collectors ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2004)Conserving and reducing the amount of water used for landscape irrigation continues to be a major issue for municipalities throughout Texas and the nation. Landscape irrigation increases dramatically during summer months ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1968-07)Equations of motion describing flow in irrigation furrows are derived and presented in characteristic form. Predicted flow profiles obtained from approximate numerical solutions of the equations of motion did not compare ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1988-08)Statement of the Problem Effective management of its surface water resources is essential to the continued growth and prosperity of the state of Texas. Rapid population and economic growth combined with depleting ground ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2013-02)Maps depicting the spatial variation of hydrological drought severity for Texas are presented in this report. The return periods chosen are 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years for drought durations of 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 ...

-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)The Middle Pecos River between Malaga, New Mexico, and Girvin, Texas, is known for high salinity. Streamflow salinity during the last decade (1991-2000), for example, averaged 3,500 and 6,150 mg L-1 at Malaga and at the ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1970-06)The effects of urbanization on streamflow are investigated for two adjacent similar watersheds located in and near Bryan, Texas. The Burton Creek watershed is 84 per cent urbanized and the Hudson Creek watershed is completely ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1971-09)This interim report describes the research performed to date on Project A-017-TEX sponsored by the U. S. Department of Interior Office of Water Resources Research and the Texas A&M University Texas Water Resources ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1973)Growth in population and economic activity has been accepted as the essential elements of American life for almost two centuries. Since the beginning of the seventies, we have begun to concern ourselves with the quality ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-05)In order to identify potential salinity sources, it was necessary to locate and characterize the potential impact of perennial and intermittent tributaries into the Pecos River. A study to determine water quantity, ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-06)Reduced availability of groundwater in the Northern High Plains of Texas and Oklahoma is expected to have repercussions throughout the regional economy due to the reduction in agricultural income. The decline in the economic ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1978)The High Plains and Trans Pecos regions of Texas are semi-arid crop production regions located in the western part of the state. Relatively low levels of rainfall are supplemented by irrigation from groundwater supplies. ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1984-03)In 1979, nine small forested watersheds were instrumented in East Texas to determine the effect of intensive forest management practices on water quantity and quality. Three replications of three treatments were used: 1) ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-12)Crop production on the Texas High Plains is constrained by limited and erratic rainfall, hence irrigation is important. Presently, 6 million acres, or 50% of regional cropland, are irrigated annually. Irrigation water is ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-08)Major dam and reservoir development within the Brazos River Basin is correlative with a significant decrease in the suspended sediment load of the river and with increased coastal erosion rates near the delta. A hydrologic ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2015-09)The Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley is a large agricultural region with limited water resources. With rapid expansion in population and industrial growth, there is an increasing competition for water, particularly in times ...
