think+water: Vista Ridge, aquifer storage and recovery in New Braunfels, and a rollercoaster of land deformation in the Delaware Basin of West Texas
This month, Dr. Robert E. Mace explores academic publications on the topics of analyzing the impact of the Vista Ridge project on water levels in Lee County, identifying water quality issues for aquifer storage and recovery projects, and examining how oil production and wastewater injection in the Delaware Basin lead to significant ground surface changes, including uplift, subsidence, and faulting.
think+water: The economics of water levels, springs drying up, and more water in the future?
This month, Dr. Robert E. Mace explores academic publications on the topics of developing an analytical model to quantify the effects of groundwater overdraft on well performance, reviewing the status of major and historical springs across the state, and evaluating future water availability in Texas through the lens of a data-driven approach.
think+water: Boil water notices during Uri, predicting water levels with neuro-fuzzies, and produced water for agriculture
This month, Dr. Robert E. Mace explores academic publications on the topics of examining the effectiveness of boil water notices as heath-risk communications, forecasting aquifer water levels in wells in Texas and Florida using an ensemble coactive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and analyzing the potential for using produced water from the Anadarko Basin as a resource for agricultural production.
think+water: Water for Boerne, shiners in the Upper Brazos, and Texmesonet
In this issue, we explore academic publications on the topics of assessing water management strategies for the City of Boerne, Texas, evaluating impacts on Great Plains fishes from groundwater development and reservoir construction on the Upper Brazos River Basin in Texas, and a technical overview of the TexMesonet.
