Proceedings, Gulf Coast Lignite Conference: Geology, Utilization, and Environmental Aspects Proceedings, Gulf Coast Lignite Conference: Geology, Utilization, and Environmental Aspects 1978

Papers in this volume were presented at the Gulf Coast Lignite Conference held in Austin, Texas, June 1976.
Papers were edited, in some cases extensively, and subjectively grouped by discipline, paralleling that of their presentation at the Conference.

Environmental geology of the Yegua - Jackson lignite belt, southeast Texas Environmental geology of the Yegua - Jackson lignite belt, southeast Texas 1982

Environmental geologic maps of the Texas lignite belt were prepared in response to renewed production of lignite in Texas and enactment of Federal and State laws governing coal and lignite surface mining.

Groundwater availability in the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer in central Texas -- numerical simulations of 2000 through 2050 withdrawal projections Groundwater availability in the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer in central Texas -- numerical simulations of 2000 through 2050 withdrawal projections 1999

Between 1951 and 1996, groundwater pumpage from the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer, one of Texas' major aquifer systems, increased in the area between the Colorado and Brazos Rivers from approximately 10,600 to 37,900 acre-ft/yr, primarily as a result of mining needs.
