(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2012-12)The Spatially Explicit Load Enrichment Calculation Tool (SELECT) methodology developed by Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department and Spatial Sciences Laboratory at Texas A&M University was used to independently ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2000-12)A GIS-based hydrological/water quality model called Non Point Source Model (NPSM) was used to simulate various physical, chemical and biological processes taking place in the Leon Creek Watershed, near San Antonio, Texas. ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2012-05)Drainage ditches are widely used for agricultural water management to help remove excess water from fields, which mitigates the effects of water logging and salinization. These ditches act as a direct hydraulic link between ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1993-08)The Brazos River Basin is representative of several major river basins in the Southwestern United States in regard to natural salt pollution. Geologic formations underlying portions of the upper watersheds of the Brazos, ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2017-07)The Navasota River watershed is located in East-Central Texas in the Brazos River basin. Lake Limestone impounds the River causing a hydrological divide in the watershed. The majority of the watershed is rural and urbanization ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2003-12)he purpose of this study was to evaluate variations of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) curve number (CN) method for estimating near real-time runoff for naturalized flow, using high resolution radar ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-07)The purpose of this study was to estimate the agricultural benefits due to flood protection provided by the proposed Trinity River Project. The area examined was the land located between the 100-year flood plain with the ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)A new concept in irrigation system design, which has the potential of significant savings in both water and energy requirements, has been developed and is under evaluation. The system is characterized by and has been labeled ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2015-12)The world population is growing rapidly, and the amount of arable land is decreasing. This raises the issue of how to feed the 2050 projected population of nine billion people. Another issue is the presence of “food deserts.” ...

-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1991-05)Research Objectives The study reported here is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of nonprofit, rural water supply corporations or water systems (hereafter referred to as RWSs) in Texas from a sociological perspective. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002-04)
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1978-04)Improved technology is needed for use in properly managing large agricultural watersheds. Proper watershed management means selecting land uses that are appropriate for each subarea, using erosion control measures where ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1974-12)Water deficits reduce plant growth and subsequently, crop yields. Man has relied upon irrigation to overcome these crop water deficiencies. But since the present supplies of water are limited, more efficient irrigation ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1985-11)Rapid population and economic growth in Texas is accompanied by increased needs for water supply and flood control. Depleting groundwater reserves are resulting in an increased reliance on surface water. The rising cost ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1977-09)Agriculture uses large quantities of energy to pump groundwater for irrigation. This means the cost of energy has important implications for the industry in terms of costs and profitability. Increases in the prices of ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-12)Population expansion and water shortfalls have placed the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley (Valley) center stage in water publicity. The unique characteristics and lack of public knowledge on how irrigation districts divert ...
