Water Resources D1~1sion _Colorado J>1str.1o:t Libra:I:J INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDs PART 7.-LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN ~ TO SEPrEMBER 30,1950 EXPLANA 'II ON 7he index lists the streaM-flow and reservoir stptions in the Lower Mississippi River Basin for which records have been or are to be published for periods prior to September 30, 1950. 1he stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Pe.rentheses around plrt of a station name indicate that the inclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the- ste tion or in a name under which records were p.tblished by some agency other than the Geological Survey. '!he drainage erea s, in square miles, are the le test figures published or otherwise avail­ able at this time. Drainage areas the.t were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Some dre.inage areas not published by the Geological Survey. are listed with an appropriate. footnote ste ting the published source o~ the figure of drainage area. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed ilm)lediately by a closing date shows thet the s:tRtion was in opere.tion on September 30, 1950. 'lhe years given are calendar yee.rs. Periods of records p.tblished by agencies other than t.he 3eolo{;ical Survey are listed in pirenthe.ses only when they contain more detailed in­ f'onr.ation or are for period.s not reported in publications of the GeologicAl Survey. Records both of gage height and of discharge are listed for stream-flow s~tions, and records of gage height and of contents (or of cr~nce in contents) are listed for s~tions on reservoirs. Records of g.age heights only and records consisting only of monthly figures either of stream flow or reservoir contents are designated by symbols P.nd footnotes. For ee.rly years when daily discharges were not generally published by the Geological Survey, published daily ge.ge heights and a published rating table were considered to be equiwlent to daily discharges. An alnhabetical index of streams, canals, and reservoirs is given on y:'ftges 14-16. l 2 INDEX, PART 7, LOWER _lliSSISSI?PI RIVER BASI!

  • Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)
    Lake Texoma Water Management Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: Why is Lake Texoma so low? A1: A combination of factors is contributing to the current lake level. Even though there was substantial rainfall last May-July, there has been very little precipitation since. We need to have significant rainfall across the entire watershed that feeds Lake Texoma to bring water levels back up. In general, a persistent exceptional drought for the last three years has gripped much of the Lake Texoma watershed. Inflows into the lake for 2011 were the lowest since its construction and 2013 saw the second lowest inflows. Evaporation of water is also a contributing factor. On an average year, Lake Texoma loses approximately six feet (74”) of water to evaporation. When the Lake Texoma basin does not get enough rain, the combination of evaporation and ongoing water usage will cause the lake level to drop. The primary ongoing water usage from Lake Texoma is for municipal/ industrial water supply and hydropower, which are critical in meeting needs for water and electricity. The lake is designed and required to allow authorized project purposes such as water supply and hydropower to continue during drought periods. By this design, Texoma has historically maintained an elevation of 612 or above, approximately 85 percent of the time. Q2: Why are there water releases from Denison Dam during drought? A2: The Flood Control Act passed by Congress in 1938 allowed for the construction of Denison Dam for the authorized purposes of flood control and hydropower production. Other authorized project purposes, such as water supply and recreation were added later.

  • Phase II Contaminants Investigation of Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Texas 1993-1994
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 Contaminants Program PHASE II CONTAMINANTS INVESTIGATION OF BUFFALO LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, TEXAS 1993 - 1994 by Denise L. Baker 1, Joel D. Lusk 2, and Craig M. Giggleman U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arlington Ecological Services Field Office 711 Stadium Drive, East, Suite #252 Arlington, Texas 76011 September 1998 PHASE II CONTAMINANTS INVESTIGATION OF BUFFALO LAKE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, TEXAS 1993 - 1994 ABSTRACT Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in the Southern High Plains in Randall County, Texas. The lake from which the Refuge received its name has not contained water since the 1980s. In 1987, a Phase I contaminants investigation of the Refuge was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arlington, Texas, Field Office. The results of this investigation indicated that elevated concentrations of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus compounds), salts, copper, strontium, and zinc were found in and downstream of cattle feedlot waste retention lagoons; Tierra Blanca Creek, the major lotic contributor of the Refuge, had degraded water quality, primarily attributed to run-off and discharges from cattle feedlots; and that nutrient concentrations retained in soils in the dry reservoir bed in Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge were elevated to the extent that inundation could create unacceptably high nutrient concentrations in the surface water. Consequentially, in 1993, a Phase II contaminants study was initiated at the Refuge by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to evaluate the extent of contamination in stormwater run-off entering the Refuge via Tierra Blanca Creek; to determine the extent of contamination in soils and vegetation within the Refuge; to evaluate the ability of crops grown in the Refuge to reduce soil contaminant concentrations; and to monitor contaminant levels in soils, surface water, and vegetation of moist soil management units constructed in the southern portion of the Refuge.

  • Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma
    Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.
