The abundance and distribution of fishes in the cooling-water canal system of an electric generating station : with emphasis on the effect of cooling towers
(1978)
Trawl collections were taken from June 1974 to September 1975 to determine the abundance and distribution of fishes in the canal system of the Houston Lighting & Power P.H. Robinson Generating Station with emphasis on ...
Optimal grain sorghum irrigation strategies in a dynamic, stochastic environment
(1978)
Agricultural production and associated economic effects of irrigation on the Texas High Plains are seriously threatened by a rapidly declining groundwater supply and a swift upward trend in energy costs. To optimize the ...
Life history and susceptibility of fishes in Galveston Bay, Texas to power-plant cooling-water operations
(1977)
Seasonal occurrence, abundance and susceptibility to cooling-water operations were determined for 89 species of fish occurring in intake and discharge canals of the P. H. Robinson Generating Station on Galveston Bay, Texas ...
Seasonal abundance and distribution of marine fishes at a hot-water discharge in Galveston Bay, Texas
(1978)
Biological and hydrological data were collected once each month January 1968-December 1969 at 11 offshore (trawl) and 6 beach (seine) stations in the discharge area of the P.H. Robinson Generating Station at Galveston Bay, ...
Hydrologic consequences of intensive rotation grazing
(1985)
A four-part study was conducted at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 56 km southwest of Sonora, Texas on the Edwards Plateau. The objective of the study was to provide a greater understanding of the hydrologic ...
Effects of rainfall, recruitment, and the operation of the Cedar Bayou Electric Generating Station (Baytown, Texas) on the dynamics of fish and macrocrustacean communities in the brackish intake and discharge waters
(1982)
The impact of the Cedar Bayou Electric Generating Station upon fishes and macrocrustaceans in the intake area, discharge canal, and cooling lake during 1972-1979 was evaluated. Data used to determine relative abundance, ...
Effects of evaporative salt water cooling towers on salt spray and salt deposition on surrounding soils
(1978)
Five salt water cooling towers recently constructed near Galveston Bay, Texas have been shown to contribute to salt deposition in the surrounding area. Levels as high as 1200 kg salt/ha/yr were encountered within 100 m of ...
Factors affecting the successful culture of Penaeus stylirostris and Penaeus vannamei at an estuarine power plant site : temperature, salinity, inherent growth variability, damselfly nymph predation, population density and distribution, and polyculture
(1983)
Laboratory and pond research was conducted at a power plant site near the inner end of Galveston Bay, Texas. Of tested salinity levels, 25 ('o)/oo was found the best for both species to resist high lethal temperatures and ...
Population characteristics of estuarine decapod crustaceans in intake and discharge areas of the Cedar Bayou Electric Power Station before and during construction and operation
(1977)
Crustacean abundance, distribution and taxonomic composition were determined intake (Tabbs Bay and Cedar Bayou) and discharge (Trinity Bay) areas before operation (October 1969 through September 4, 1970), during operation ...
A monetary impact analysis of government regulations dealing with chrysotile asbestos
(1993)
Environmental Protection Agency Regulations have mandated certain actions to control asbestos fiber release episodes in public school systems in the United States. These mandates do not differentiate between asbestos types ...
