Fundamentals of Water Availability Modeling with WRAP, 6th Edition
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2011-09)
Water resources development, water allocation, and river/reservoir system operations are simulated with the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) using sequences of historical naturalized stream flows and reservoir surface ...
EM-111, Revised 2015, Bacterial Source Tracking: Learn why Bacterial Source Tracking is the foremost tool for identifying sources of fecal pollution
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2015-04)
There are 273 bacterially impaired water bodies in Texas. Identifying and assessing sources of these bacteria — E. coli, Enterococcus, fecal coliforms — is critical to properly determining risk to water recreation, developing ...
EM-118 Texas Well Owner Network brochure
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2014)
Public drinking water supplies are monitored through requirements of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act, but private well owners are responsible for monitoring the quality of their wells and are frequently at greater risk ...
Quantifying the Effects of the Timing of Water Deficit Stress and Water Deficit Stress Alleviation on Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Growth and Yield under Rain-Sheltered Controlled Conditions
(2015-08-03)
Water deficit is a major limitation for cotton yield in drought-prone Texas croplands. Where underground or surface water is available and cost affordable, water is applied to crops using a variety of irrigation techniques ...
A statistical model for estimating mean annual and mean monthly flows at ungaged locations
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Prediction of flow is necessary for planning and management of water resources. The objective of this study is to estimate mean annual flows for the USA and mean monthly flows for the rivers of central Texas based on the ...
Development of an ArcGIS interface and design of a geodatabase for the soil and water assessment tool
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This project presents the development and design of a comprehensive interface coupled with a geodatabase (ArcGISwat 2003), for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a hydrologically distributed, lumped parameter ...
Measuring The Effectiveness of Groundwater Management Policies for the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer of Texas
(2014-11-03)
In the United States, more than 80% of the population now lives in urban areas. By 2050, a significant portion of that population will live in megaregions consisting of two or more metropolitan areas linked with interdependent ...
Environmentally related water trading, transfers and environmental flows: welfare, water demand and flows
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This dissertation reports on economic studies of Texas Interbasin Water Transfers
