Multilevel Groundwater Monitoring Systems, also referred to as Multi-Depth Groundwater Monitoring Systems, Multilevel Systems (MLSs), or Engineered Nested Wells, are engineered technologies installed in single boreholes above and/or below the water table to obtain data from different depth intervals.
A plot of sugarcane yield versus depth of water table in Australia. The critical depth is 0.6 m. [4] [5] Most crops need a water table at a minimum depth. [6] For some important food and fiber crops a classification was made [7] because at shallower depths the crop suffers a yield decline. [8]
In Texas, there are 98 of these districts, covering nearly 70% of the state, according to the Texas Water Development Board. The Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District has the following ...
The Ogallala Aquifer (oh-gə-LAH-lə) is a shallow water table aquifer surrounded by sand, silt, clay, and gravel located beneath the Great Plains in the United States. As one of the world's largest aquifers, it underlies an area of approximately 174,000 sq mi (450,000 km 2) in portions of eight states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas).

The EPA placed the Brio site on the National Priorities List in 1984. Beginning in 1989, the EPA began remediation by demolishing buildings, digging out contaminated soils for processing or disposal, containing groundwater by use of a physical barrier, and capping the site. [1] The site was removed from the National Priorities List in 2006. [5]
Texas has seen surging interest from companies hoping to bury carbon dioxide in its oilfields, putting the state at the vanguard of a government-subsidized program to fight climate change. But ...
The Edwards Aquifer is the primary water source for much of southern central Texas. [1] Burrell Day and Joel McDaniel owned a 350-acre ranch in Van Ormy, Bexar County. [2] Under the Edwards Aquifer Authority Act (EAAA), landowners who had historically used Edwards Aquifer groundwater for irrigation purposes were assured of a minimum permit amount of 2 acre-feet of production per year per acre ...
