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.

Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas 1982

The Miocene Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and uranium host beneath the Texas Coastal Plain. In 1976, approximately 6,000 acre-ft of ground water were withdrawn from the Oakville for municipal use.

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.

Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain 1982

The Oakville Sandstone (Miocene) of the Texas Coastal Plain comprises a major sand-rich fluvial system composed of deposits of several major and minor rivers that originated within Texas and surrounding states.

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.

Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain:  depositional systems, composition, structural development, ground-water flow history, and uranium distribution Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain: depositional systems, composition, structural development, ground-water flow history, and uranium distribution 1977

The Catahoula Formation of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain consists of two depositional systems--the Gueydan bedload fluvial system of the Rio Grande embayment and the Chita-Corrigan mixed load fluvial system of the Houston embayment.
