Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1982) Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1982) 1983

Since early 1977, the Bureau of Economic Geology has been evaluating several salt-bearing basins within the State of Texas as part of the national nuclear waste repository program, The Bureau, a research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, is conducting a long-term program to gather and in

Investigation of underpressuring in the deep-basin brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas Investigation of underpressuring in the deep-basin brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1985

Although plots of pressure versus depth are useful for understanding the hydrodynamics of ground-water systems, they can be difficult to interpret.

Orr, E.D., Kreitler, C.W., Senger, R.K. Geological Circular Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeology of the Edwards aquifer, Austin area, central Texas Hydrogeology of the Edwards aquifer, Austin area, central Texas 1984

The Edwards Formation, on the downthrown side of Mt. Bonnell fault in the Austin, Texas, area (Hays and Travis Counties), is part of the northeastern extension of the Edwards Underground Reservoir, the primary source of water in numerous counties along the Balcones Fault Zone.

Effects of hydrostratigraphy and basin development on hydrodynamics of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Effects of hydrostratigraphy and basin development on hydrodynamics of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas 1987

Deep brine aquifers of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, ranging in depth from about 1,000 to 3,000 m below land surface, are underpressured compared with the shallow Ogallala aquifer.

Senger, R.K., Fogg, G.E., Kreitler, C.W. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Stratigraphy and influence of effective porosity on ground-water flow in the Wolfcamp brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle Stratigraphy and influence of effective porosity on ground-water flow in the Wolfcamp brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle 1988

In the Palo Duro Basin, the Wolfcampian Series (lower Permian) overlies Pennsylvanian (primarily Virgilian) strata and underlies the Wichita Group (Leonardian).

Hydrogeology of the northern segment of the Edwards aquifer, Austin region Hydrogeology of the northern segment of the Edwards aquifer, Austin region 1990

Geologic mapping and fracture analysis of the Lower Cretaceous Edwards aquifer strata near Georgetown and Round Rock, Texas, were performed to provide a better understanding of the geologic framework of the Balcones Fault Zone and to provide information for assessing ground-water flow characteris

Regional hydrodynamics of variable-density flow systems, Palo Duro basin, Texas Regional hydrodynamics of variable-density flow systems, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1991

In mature sedimentary basins, where mechanical compaction is negligible, the hydrodynamics is typically described by steady-state flow driven by potential energy represented by the water table, which generally follows the topography.

Senger, R.K. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeologic investigations of deep ground-water flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Hydrogeologic investigations of deep ground-water flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1992

Regional and local hydrologic investigations were conducted in Trans-Pecos Texas as part of a study to evaluate potential sites for a low-level radioactive waste repository.
