Smith Committee Members, Peter J. Hugill Christian Brannstrom Bradford P. Wilcox Head of Department, Douglas J. Sherman May 2007 Major Subject: Geography iii ABSTRACT Changing Patterns and Perceptions of Water Use in East Central Texas Since the Time of Anglo Settlement. (May 2007) Wendy Winborn Patzewitsch, B.A., Trinity University; M.S., Southern Methodist University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Jonathan M. Smith Patterns and perceptions of water use have changed since Anglo settlement in Texas in the early nineteenth century. Change has not been constant, gradual, or linear, but rather has occurred in fits and spurts. This pattern of punctuated equilibrium in water use regimes is the central finding of this dissertation. Water use is examined in terms of built, organizational, and institutional inertias that resist change in the cultural landscape. Change occurs only when forced by crisis and results in water management at an increasing scale. Perception is critical in forcing response to crisis.

  • Distributional Surveys of Freshwater Bivalves in Texas: Progress Report for 1997
    DISTRIBUTIONAL SURVEYS OF FRESHWATER BIVALVES IN TEXAS: PROGRESS REPORT FOR 1997 by Robert G. Howells MANAGEMENT DATA SERIES No. 147 1998 Texas Parks and Wildlife Depar1ment Inland Fisheries Division 4200 Smith School Road Austin, Texas 78744 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many biologists and technicians with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Research and Management offices assisted with SW"Veys and collectons of freshwater mussels. Thanks also go to Pam Balcer (Kerrville, Texas) and Sue Martin (San Angelo; Texas) who assised extensively with collection of specimens and Jesse Todd (Dallas, Texas), Dr. Charles Mather (University of Arts and Science, Chickasha, Oklahoma) and J.A.M. Bergmann (Boerne, Texas) who provided specimens and field data. ABSTRACT During 1997, over 1,500 unionid specimens were docwnented from 87 locations (I 06 sample sites) statewide in Texas where specimens were either directly surveyed by the Heart of the Hills Research Station (HOH) staff or were sent to HOH by volunteers. Living specimens or recently-dead shells were found at 59% of the locations, 14% yielded only Jong-dead or subfossil shells, 24% produced no unionids or their remains, and 3% could not be accessed due to private lands or other local site problems which precluded sampling. Jn conjunction with previous field-survey work J 992-1996, unionids appear completely or almost completely extirpated from the Pedernales, Blanco, San Marcos, Llano, Medina, upper Guadalupe, upper Sulphur, areas of the San Jacinto, and much of the San Saba rivers. Sections of other river systems and many tributaries have also experienced major unionid population losses in recent years.
