The table below shows the flow in acre-feet recorded at stream-flow stations on the prin-
cipal Texas rivers. The name of towns indicates approximate location of gages; the second
column gives number of years of record and is used in compiling column five; the third and
fourth columns give the minimum and maximum yearly runoff respectively, for complete years
ending Sept. 30; and the fifth column gives the average annual runoff in acre-feet for the
period shown in column two. Data are revised to 1951, except Rio Grande for which data are
revised to 1949.
Data contained in the table are a summary of yearly yields recorded at most of the current
stream-flow stations. Similar data are available for some stations that have been discontinued,
and for short periods at other station locations, and records of daily and monthly flow, maxi-
mum and minimum flow for all stations, as well as records of contents of.major reservoirs,
historical peak rates of flow at miscellaneous locations, and records of the flow of numerous
springs, can be obtained at the office of the State Board of Water Engineers or the United
States Geological Survey at Austin, Texas, except that Rio Grande records are by the Inter-
national Boundary Commission, El Paso, Texas.
The major drainages are arranged in geographical order, listing from the east toward the
west. All stations are listed from the source to the mouth of the main stream and the stations
on tributaries in regular order from source to mouth follow. The headwater stream of any
basin having the largest drainage area is considered the continuation of the main stream. The
records summarized below are from the office of the State Board of Water Engineers and the
United States Geological Survey at Austin:Stream, Location of Minimum Maximum Average
