(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-05)In order to identify potential salinity sources, it was necessary to locate and characterize the potential impact of perennial and intermittent tributaries into the Pecos River. A study to determine water quantity, ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-06)Reduced availability of groundwater in the Northern High Plains of Texas and Oklahoma is expected to have repercussions throughout the regional economy due to the reduction in agricultural income. The decline in the economic ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1978)The High Plains and Trans Pecos regions of Texas are semi-arid crop production regions located in the western part of the state. Relatively low levels of rainfall are supplemented by irrigation from groundwater supplies. ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1984-03)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: 1) ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-12)Crop production on the Texas High Plains is constrained by limited and erratic rainfall, hence irrigation is important. Presently, 6 million acres, or 50% of regional cropland, are irrigated annually. Irrigation water is ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-08)Major dam and reservoir development within the Brazos River Basin is correlative with a significant decrease in the suspended sediment load of the river and with increased coastal erosion rates near the delta. A hydrologic ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2015-09)The Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley is a large agricultural region with limited water resources. With rapid expansion in population and industrial growth, there is an increasing competition for water, particularly in times ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2001-05)This study estimates the regional and statewide economic impacts of recreational and commercial fishing and bay and estuary related recreational activities in the six bay and estuary systems along the Texas Gulf Coast. The ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002)Over 10,450 flood control damns have been built in 47 states. Many are nearing their design life of 50 years and have significant rehabilitation needs, the cost of which approaches over $540 million. While assessment of ...

-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-03)High frequency irrigation implies the uniform, frequent application of water to crops. The fequency may range from several irrigations per week to daily irrigation to even several irrigations per day in greenhouse and ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-02)Many sports fields developed in the El Paso Valley and some in uplands became salinized when irrigated with water containing 800 to 1,200 mg/L of dissolved salts. The soil types, which were salinized, include compacted ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1985-07)This research investigated the movement of a surface flow profile over an infiltrating soil under conditions of surge flow, and theory related thereto, for use in preliminary design procedures for surge irrigation systems. ...
