Playas and recharge of the Ogallala aquifer on the southern High Plains of Texas -- an examination using numerical techniques | 1997 | This study used a numerical model to examine the playa-focused recharge theory by comparing it with the spatially uniform approach and with a zonal approach. |

Geologic Significance of Remotely Sensed Physiographic Features of the Texas Panhandle and Adjacent Regions | 1990 | Remotely sensed features such as linear drainages, escarpments, ridges, and aligned playas have been identified on Landsat imagery (scale 1:250,000) of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent regions to allow comparison of these features with detailed regional and site-specific geologic data. |

Tectonic structures of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1989 | The Palo Duro Basin is a broad structural low in the southern Texas Panhandle that formed as a result of nearly continuous Pennsylvanian and Permian subsidence. True complexity of this basin is unknown because of the sparsity of structural information. |

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). |
Conti, R.D., Herron, M.J., Senger, R.K., Wirojanagud, Prakob | Report of Investigations | Bureau of Economic Geology |

Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico | 1988 | The Ogallala aquifer, which underlies the Southern High Plains, consists of the saturated sediments of the Neogene Ogallala Formation. The aquifer is the main source of water for the High Plains of Texas and New Mexico and is being severely depleted by extensive pumpage for irrigation. |

Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Amarillo sheet | 1986 | This folded transparent map is at the same scale as its corresponding Geologic Atlas of Texas (GAT) sheet and can be superimposed on it to compare gravity information with surface geology. |

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. |

Deep brine aquifers in the Palo Duro basin: regional flow and geochemical constraints | 1983 | Geologic characterization of evaporite deposits as potential host rocks for burial of radioactive waste must include hydrogeologic investigations at both local and regional scales. |
Bassett, R.L., Bentley, M.E., Duncan, E.A. | Report of Investigations | Bureau of Economic Geology |

San Andreas carbonates in the Texas panhandle: sedimentation and diagenesis associated with magnesium-calcium-chloride brines | 1982 | The San Andres evaporitic sequence in the Palo Duro Basin comprises several thick carbonate units in its lower part and many thin units in its upperpart. To the south, across the Northern Shelf of the Midland Basin, evaporites pinch out and carbonates predominate. |
