Assessing surface and groundwater interactions between the middle Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer and the Brazos River.
The Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer (BRAA) is a vital source of water in Central Texas, primarily used for irrigation. The BRAA and the overlying Brazos River are connected; however, their interaction is not well understood and often overgeneralized. This study seeks to clarify aspects of surface …

Compartmentalization in the northern segment of the Brazos River Alluvium aquifer.
Alluvial aquifers such as the Brazos River Alluvium aquifer in central Texas can contain locally significant amounts of groundwater that may be used for irrigation, domestic supply, or to mitigate stress applied to other groundwater and surface water resources. Alluvial aquifers occur within the …

Hydrogeologic assessment of the Brazos River alluvial aquifer : Waco to Marlin, Texas.
The Brazos River alluvial aquifer is a shallow unconfined aquifer within the alluvial deposits along the Brazos River. The deposits include the floodplain and terrace material which are comprised of clay, silt, sand, and gravel. Thicknesses of the alluvial deposits range up to 80 feet. Groundwater …

Hydrogeologic assessment of three solid waste disposal sites in the Brazos River alluvial deposits.
The Brazos River alluvial aquifer, which is composed of floodplain and terrace deposits, is a major source of shallow groundwater for the Brazos valley in central and southeast Texas. The alluvial deposits range from 10 to 40 feet in thickness and are composed of clayey and silty sands and gravel. …

DETECTION AND OCCURRENCE OF NERODIA HARTERI (SERPENTES: COLUBRIDAE) IN AN UPPER PORTION OF THE BRAZOS RIVER WATERSHED
… on both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Brazos River Watersnakes, <em>Nerodia harteri</em>, are endemic natricines with one of the most restricted geographic ranges in North America. I quantified detection and site occupancy probabilities of <em>N. harteri</em> and its sympatric congeners …

Benthic foraminiferal change and depositional history across the Cretaceous – Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary in the Brazos River area, Texas
… on the Deccan Plateau, India. Fieldwork in the Brazos River area of Texas has involved an investigation of the sections on the Brazos River and its tributaries. A previously overlooked K/Pg section (RBS) on the Brazos River was found and contains the most accessible and complete K/Pg boundary …

Responses of Aquatic Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities to a Large Flow Pulse in the Guadalupe, San Antonio and Brazos River Basins, Texas
Riverine benthic macroinvertebrates (BMI) communities are regulated, in part, by the dynamic character of the river’s flow regime. Purpose of this study was to assess the influence of a flow regime component (i.e., large flow pulse) on BMI riffle communities, specifically that large flow pulses …

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF IMPERILED GREAT PLAINS FISHES: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION OF TWO ENDANGERED SHINERS (SHARPNOSE SHINER NOTROPIS OXYRHYNCHUS AND SMALLEYE SHINER NOTROPIS BUCCULA) IN THE UPPER BRAZOS RIVER, TEXAS
… due to the loss of the natural flow regime and river fragmentation. Uncovering the abiotic and biotic drivers across spatial and temporal scales influencing fish assemblages across the Great Plains is required to inform effective management strategies. Here, I investigated ecological drivers …

Aquifer Framework Restoration (AFR) in an Alluvial Aquifer, Central Texas.
The Brazos River Alluvium aquifer (BRAA) near Waco, Texas is an aquifer whose framework has been physically impacted by sand and gravel mining. The most productive portions of the BRAA framework are being excavated and kept as pit lakes or filled with different material. GIS identification of mined …
