Texas Water-Resources Studies & Research Projects

The Texas Water Science Center conducts hydrologic projects that address a wide variety of water-resources issues, including water supply, ground-water contamination, nutrient loading in streams, effects of land use on water quality, and basic hydrologic data collection. This page lists the major projects currently underway and other topics of hydrologic interest.
