Evaluation of the impact of Texas lignite development on Texas water resources. Technical completion report, 1 July 1976-30 September 1977
Research into the potential impact of the development of the Texas lignite resources on both the surface and groundwater resources of Texas has produced three separate areas within the lignite belt which have varying capabilities of supporting lignite development. The northeastern section of the lignite belt has sufficient surface water resources and backup groundwater resources to allow extensive development of lignite. The central section will support mining and development, but care must be taken to conserve and regulate water use. The southwestern section of the lignite belt does not possess sufficient ground or surface water resource for much, if any, lignite development. The most water thrifty methods of production would have to be employed for even limited development.
