  • Intensive Survey of Barton Creek Segment 1430
    INTENSIVE SURVEY OF BARTON CREEK SEGMENT 1430 May 20-24, 1985 Hydrology, Field Measurements, Water Chemistry and Biology By Stephen R. Twidwell IS 86-01 Texas Water Commission February 1986 ABSTRACT An intensive survey of Barton Creek (Segment 1430) was conducted May 20-24, 1985, by the Texas Department of Water Resources. The study area included the entire length of Barton Creek from its union with Town Lake in Austin to its headwaters in western Hays County. Water quality, hydraulic, and biological data were collected at 20 mainstream stations and two tributary streams. Stream widths of Barton Creek generally increased from upstream to downstream (range 5.2 - 22.9 m). Stream discharge increased from 0.0129 m3/s (0.46 ft3/s) near the headwaters to 0.3894 m3/s (13.75 ft3/s) at Lost Creek Boulevard, and then declined to 0.0372 m3/s (1.32 ft3/s) upstream of Barton Pool as the water flowed over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and infiltrated to the underground. Stream velocities were slow throughout the study area (range 0.04 - 0.07 m/s). Excepting one early morning measurement, dissolved oxygen levels remained above the 5 mg/L segment criterion. Nutrient and chlorophyll a levels were below or near the lower limits of detection throughout the segment. Stream CBOD5 and CBOD2o levels were low throughout Barton Creek. Chloride, sulfate, total dissolved solids, water temperature, and pH levels conformed to segment criteria. Benthic macroinvertebrate community structure reflected clean water and healthy environmental conditions throughout the
