Base-Flow Studies, Leon and Lampasas Rivers, Texas Quantity and Quality, January 16-17, 1968

摘要

The purposes of the investigation of the Leon and Lampasas Rivers were (1) to determine the quantity of tributary inflow and the amount of interchange of surface and ground water in the main streams, (2) to relate the nature and concentrations of dissolved constituents in the base flow to geology and to the activities of man, and (3) to evaluate the water for municipal supply, irrigation, and industrial use. During the study, conditions were favorable for determining gains and losses of streamflow; evapotranspiration was negligible, and most of the flow was sustained by ground water effluent. Moreover, only active diversion was located throughout the reaches studied.
