Break-Even Investment in a Wind Energy Conversion System for an Irrigated Farm on the Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981)
The purpose of this study was to quantify the benefits of using a wind energy system for irrigation. The value of wind energy was estimated on both a static basis (where the annual value of wind power was assumed to be ...
Assessment of Stormflow and Water Quality from Undisturbed and Site Prepared Forest Land in East Texas (Final Report)
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-01)
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: ...
Contaminant Transport in Hydrogeologic Systems
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-03)
Contaminant transport in hydrogeologic systems requires knowledge of transmissivity, storage coefficient, and dispersivity. Techniques for evaluating transmissivity and storage coefficient under field conditions are well ...
Management of Trickle Irrigated Orchards for Increased Water Use Efficiency
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-08)
Trickle irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigating peach orchards in Texas. With a trickle irrigation system, a producer may make full use of a limited or low-volume water supply to apply precise amounts of water ...
Assessment of Stormflow and Water Quality from Undisturbed and Site Prepared Forest Land in East Texas (Interim Report)
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-01)
Response of Peanuts to Irrigation Management at Different Crop Growth Stages
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
Past irrigation research on peanuts has shown that when the plant is exposed to soil moisture stress at different crop growth stages, different responses seem to exist between the Spanish and the Florunner peanut varieties. ...
Comparison of Methods for Determining Soil Hydraulic Characteristics
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
An adequate description of soil moisture movement is necessary for solution of agriculturally oriented problems such as irrigation, drainage and runoff control. Three approaches for determining the hydraulic properties of ...
Optimum Reservoir Operation for Flood Control and Conservation Purposes
(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 ...
Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) Model Description and User's Manual
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1996-10)
The evolution of the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) is outlined in the "Model Development Background" section of Chapter 1 of this report. The model was developed in conjunction with a series of university research ...
Hydrologic and Institutional Water Availability in the Brazos River Basin
(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 ...
