| dc.description.abstract | Texas' water demand is steadily increasing. In the past, ground water was used to meet the majority of demand. However, this continuing withdrawal is causing many problems. Because of this situation, the state is now turning to a greater reliance on surface water to meet its water needs. This shift is the beginning of the "management era" where the emphasis is on effective use of existing surface water facilities. Texas has studied and implemented various techniques which increase the efficiency of the reservoir. However, buffer zone operation has been overlooked as a strategy to increase the yield of reservoirs. This report analyzes the state's water problems and presently used strategies, yet focuses on the use, benefits and effectiveness of a buffer zone operation. | en |
