  • Conjunctive Use of Water on the Texas High Plains
    CONJUNCTIVE USE OF WATER ON THE TEXAS HIGH PLAINS Otis W. Templer Professor of Geography Department of Economics and Geography and Lloyd V. Urban Professor of Civil Engineering and Director, Water Resources Center Texas Tech University INTRODUCTION On the semiarid, water-short Texas High Plains conjunctive use is practiced with water from these sources: 1) groundwater in the dwindling Ogallala aquifer, 2) runoff water accumulating in the thousands of small playa lakes that dot the High Plains, and 3) the meager flow of the streams rising in or crossing the area. The Ogallala aquifer has long provided most of the water used for irrigation and it was the only source of municipal water supply for virtually all High Plains communities until the late 1960s. Most local runoff flows to shallow playa lake basins. Though playas are the chief source of recharge to the Ogallala aquifer, most of the water they store evaporates. Lake Meredith on the Canadian River is the largest of the few reservoirs on the High Plains. Nineteen High Plains towns and cities, including Lubbock and Amarillo, receive most of their water supply from municipal water authorities or districts that distribute the waters of Lake Meredith and the much smaller Mackenzie and White River reservoirs to a population of almost 500,000. However, most member cities continue to use preexisting groundwater reserves to improve the quality of or to supplement their water supply, and the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority is acquiring extensive groundwater rights to augment and improve the quality of the water it distributes from Lake Meredith.

  • Lake Meredith National Recreation Area Multi-Use Trail
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Lake Meredith National Recreation Area Texas LAKE MEREDITH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA MULTI-USE TRAIL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT January 2010 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR - NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAKE MEREDITH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA MULTI-USE TRAIL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TEXAS The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze the impacts of constructing a new, non-motorized, multi-use recreational trail at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area (the recreation area), Texas. Declining water levels at Lake Meredith have reduced the amount of public access to the reservoir, resulting in an overall reduction in the availability of recreational opportunities for visitors. The demand for recreational uses such as hiking and mountain biking continues to increase both regionally and nationally, and the recreation area represents a large portion of the publicly available land in the Texas panhandle region. Currently, the recreation area only contains a minimal amount of hiking and biking trails. Wildfires also pose a substantial threat to public safety in and around the recreation area. Multi-use trails in the project area would serve as a firebreak and would provide an increased level of access for firefighting crews in the event of a wildfire. A new multi-use trail is needed to address the lack of land-based recreational opportunities in the region, to increase the availability of interpretive resources in the recreation area, to improve access for emergency response personnel, and to provide a firebreak at the urban-wildland interface. This EA evaluates two alternatives. Alternative A is the “no action” alternative, which represents the current condition of the project area and is used as a baseline against which the impacts of the action alternative will be measured.

    MERCURY CONCENTRATIONS IN LARGEMOUTH BASS (MICROPTERUS SALMOIDES), WHITE BASS (MORONE CHRYSOPS), AND WHITE CRAPPIE (POMOXIS ANNULARIS) FROM SIX DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA RESERVOIRS by JACOB MICHAEL WADLINGTON Bachelor of Science, 2009 Lipscomb University Nashville, Tennessee Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the College of Science and Engineering Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science May 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Matthew Chumchal has been an extremely helpful thesis advisor and friend throughout my research and I thank him earnestly for his involvement in my education and life. I would also like to thank my thesis committee members Dr. Ray Drenner and Dr. Amanda Hale. Dr. Drenner has given me his time, use of his laboratory, and great advice for my research and career. Dr. Hale's help in statistics has allowed me to succeed in and out of the classroom with my research and her help has strengthened my education considerably. I would also like to thank my fellow TCU biology graduate students who assisted me in my studies and were great friends. Michelle Fernando was instrumental in processing fish in the laboratory. I would also like to thank the TPWD fishery biologists Rafe Brock and Tom Hungerford for their help in collecting fish and for their hospitality. The TCU Biology department provided supported through a teaching assistantship during this study. The TCU Biology Department, TCU Adkin and RCAF grants funded this research. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their support, visits, and encouragement as I attended graduate school. My wife, Sara, has given me tremendous support and has made me happy.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2001 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
