  • Summary of Hydrologic Data for the Lower San Antonio River Sub-Basin
    Technical Study Summaries: Lower San Antonio River Hydrologic Data Median flows in Lower San Antonio River have increased over 60 years The amount of water flowing in the Lower San Antonio River during median flow conditions has increased over the past 60 years, according to data collected from a gage maintained by the US Geological Survey. As shown in the figure below, the median flow of the river at Goliad, TX has increased for each day of the year when comparing values from the time periods 1940-1969 and 1970- 2007. The hydrologic character of the basin can be analyzed using similar techniques and data from a network of USGS gages within the Lower San Antonio River system. The relative location of gages currently maintained by the USGS is shown in the map below. A list of current and historical gages of interest to this is study is also provided. 800 1970 to 2007 700 1940 to 1969 600 500 400 [cfs] Discharge 300 200 100 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oc t Nov Dec Figure 1.

  • Stormwater Management Program 2013-2018 Appendix A
    Appendix A 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) As required under Sections 303(d) and 304(a) of the federal Clean Water Act, this list identifies the water bodies in or bordering Texas for which effluent limitations are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards, and for which the associated pollutants are suitable for measurement by maximum daily load. In addition, the TCEQ also develops a schedule identifying Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that will be initiated in the next two years for priority impaired waters. Issuance of permits to discharge into 303(d)-listed water bodies is described in the TCEQ regulatory guidance document Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (January 2003, RG-194). Impairments are limited to the geographic area described by the Assessment Unit and identified with a six or seven-digit AU_ID. A TMDL for each impaired parameter will be developed to allocate pollutant loads from contributing sources that affect the parameter of concern in each Assessment Unit. The TMDL will be identified and counted using a six or seven-digit AU_ID. Water Quality permits that are issued before a TMDL is approved will not increase pollutant loading that would contribute to the impairment identified for the Assessment Unit. Explanation of Column Headings SegID and Name: The unique identifier (SegID), segment name, and location of the water body. The SegID may be one of two types of numbers. The first type is a classified segment number (4 digits, e.g., 0218), as defined in Appendix A of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (TSWQS).

  • Have a Great Weekend!
    Dear GEAA Landowners, You are invited to attend the initial meeting of a land stewards group for the San Antonio area that will be devoted to issues of importance to landowners and to the resources you steward. In the Austin area land managers recently met to discuss the myths and truths about ashe juniper—its origin and distribution, water “guzzling” reputation, behavior in a fire, etc. Participants brought citations from scientific/land management journals, discussed the issues, and a couple of people are compiling the citations which will be made available to all participants. Jayne Neal, Park Naturalist for the City of San Antonio, wants to organize the same kind of collaborative lands stewards group for the San Antonio areat. In addition to land owners and land managers, she has invited resource experts and members of the academic community in hopes of connecting people who manage land with people who have research interests and/or resource expertise. Groups represented include landowners, agencies (such as Texas Parks and Wildlife, Edwards Aquifer Authority, San Antonio River Authority), environmental consultants, universities, and resource people (like the US Geological Survey). The first meeting will be Tues., March 27, 1:30-3:30 at the Friedrich Wilderness Park classroom. For directions, please see http://www.sanaturalareas.org/fp/fpmaps.html, or feel free to contact [email protected] . Please come prepared to talk about your ideas for our group. What would you like to get from our meetings? How often should we meet? What topics should we discuss? What can you contribute? Please let Jayne know if you are coming, and feel free to forward this invitation to others who might be interested.

Hugman's brainchild has since become the essence of the city. by SoonerGirl318 The city's most popular attraction, it is often crowded and filled with children, party goers, tourists and locals. In the heart of the River Walk is an area filled with restaurants, shops and nightclubs, punctuated by fountains and towering Cypress trees. The River Walk is particularly lively during Fiesta. +1 210 227 4262 thesanantonioriverwalk.co [email protected] 849 E Commerce Street, San m m Antonio TX San Antonio Missions National Historical Park "Colonial Spanish Missions" Sandwiched between Mission San Jose and Hot Wells locales in the heart of San Antonio's expansive wildernesses, this historical park was designated as a settlement for Catholic priests who were sent here as Spanish missionaries to spread the word of the holy bible among the by Liveon001 ©Travis Witt natives.
