Geologic and hydrogeologic information for a geodatabase for the Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer, Bosque County to Fort Bend County, Texas

Application of surface geophysical methods, with emphasis on magnetic resonance soundings, to characterize the hydrostratigraphy of the Brazos River alluvium aquifer, College Station, Texas, July 2006: A pilot study

“…On the basis of historical literature, Brazos River Basin regional hydraulic conductivity ranges from about 2 m/d north of the study area to about 130 m/d south of the study area (Shah and Houston, 2007). The MRS data collected at the site are well within this range and confirm that the MRS method is capable of obtaining hydrostratigraphic unit properties at the BRHFRS.…”

“…A ground-water availability model (GAM) for the Brazos River alluvium aquifer needs valid hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, storage coefficients and other properties for estimating ground-water availability to simulate changes in water levels in the aquifer due to pumping and drought conditions. The GAM includes information on hydrostratigraphic characteristics such as hydraulic conductivity, specific capacity, and transmissivity (Shah and Houston, 2007); however, numerous data gaps exist throughout the extent of the defined aquifer and require collection of additional information on the aquifer. Standard methods of data collection include installing wells, examining borehole logs, or conducting aquifer tests, but these methods can be time-consuming and expensive.…”

“…A geospatial database is a spatially enabled database that contains spatial and tabular data and allows users to associate tabular data with physical and spatial components (Zeiler, 1999;Shah and Houston, 2007). A geospatial database is capable of handling data efficiently through the use of a relational database management system.…”

Data collection and compilation for a geodatabase of groundwater, surface-water, water-quality, geophysical, and geologic data, Pecos County Region, Texas, 1930-2011

“…A geodatabase is a spatially enabled database that contains spatial and tabular data and allows users to associate tabular data with physical and spatial components (Shah and Houston, 2007). It is capable of handling volumes of data efficiently through the use of a relational database management system.…”
