An Investigation of Hydrological Aspects of Water Harvesting
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-09)
Water harvesting is a potential source of water for arid and semiarid lands. The objectives of this study were to determine combinations of land surface treatments and land forming which result in efficient but inexpensive ...
Cultural Benefits from Metropolitan River Recreation -- San Antonio Prototype
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-06)
This study analyzes the response to an outstanding design and development of a park-business complex along a natural river in the heart of a major city, The San Antonio River Walk. The research includes both those who visit ...
The Composition and Distribution of the Fish Fauna of the Navasota River
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-08)
Twenty-one thousand fish representing 9 orders, 14 families and 56 species were collected from various habitats of the Navasota River drainage. Some species such as Notropis lutrensis, Gambusia affinis and Lepomis macrocllirlls ...
A Model for a Linked System of Multi-Purpose Reservoirs with Stochastic Inflows and Demands
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-06)
In Chapter I of this report a model of a single multi-purpose reservoir with stochastic inflows is addressed. The objective of the model is the development of an optimal operating policy for given time sequence of minimum ...
Mathematical Models of Water Quality Parameters for Rivers and Estuatries
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-10)
Estuaries represent an economically and biologically important part of our coast. These bodies of water are used as permanent homes or nursery grounds for many of the important forms of marine life. Estuaries also provide ...
Water Use Efficiency in Plant Growth and Ambient Carbon Dioxide Level
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1972-06)
This report examines the validity and explores the practical implications of the proposition that CO2 enrichment of the leaf environment enhances plant growth and, simultaneously decreases plant water use.
A theoretical ...
