The Ogallala Formation of late Miocene to early Pliocene age consists of heterogeneous sequen-ces of coarse-grained sand and gravel in the lower part, grading upward into clay, silt, and fine sand. The aquifer system is composed of the Catahoula, Oakville, Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, Bentley, Montgomery, and Beaumont formations. The availability of this water is critical to the economy of the region, as approximately 95 percent of groundwater pumped is used for irrigated agriculture. Most of the carbonate-rock aquifers consist of limestone, but dolomite and marble locally yield water. Volcanic-rock aquifers have a wide range of chemical, mineralogic, structural, and hydraulic properties Aquifer maps often include large-to-small areas that are designated "minor aquifer," "not a principal aquifer," or "confining unit. These are usually areas are underlain by low-permeability deposits and rocks, unsaturated materials, or aquifers that supply little water because they are of local extent, poorly permeable, or both. National aquifers, or principal aquifers of the United States, are defined as regionally extensive aquifers or aquifer systems that have the potential to be used as a source of potable(drinkable)water. Water-use data collected using this list of aquifers will be published in. 1700 North Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78701TEL: 512-463-7847 / FAX: 512-475-2053, Asset Management Program for Small

Revisions to the reference list since it was first used by NWIS: Northern Great Plains aquifer system was removed:this umbrella term includes four national aquifers but is not considered a national aquifer itself.

San Antonio Their combined freshwater saturated thickness averages about 600 feet in North Texas and about 1,900 feet in Central Texas. The aquifer is used for municipal, industrial, and irrigation purposes. Aquifers shown on the 2003PrincipalAquifers map, with some additions, were used as the first National AquiferReferenceList in the USGSNational Water Information System(NWIS) in theAggregate Water Use Data System(AWUDS,database released in August 2001). However, the salinity has increased in many heavily pumped areas to the point where the water has become unsuitable for domestic and municipal use. Most of the water pumped from the aquifer is used for irrigation. The Hickory aquifer occurs in parts of 19 counties in the Llano Uplift region of Central Texas. 6 character identifier derived from the aquifer name using the code derivation procedure also used for GWSI geohydrologic unit names. User Guide - This downloadable PDF document explains how to use the tools available in the viewer. Some of these declines have resulted in significant land-surface subsidence, particularly in the Houston-Galveston area. The Ogallala aquifer extends through 48 counties of the Texas Panhandle and is the southernmost extension of the largest aquifer (High Plains aquifer) in North America. In the south, the Trinity includes the Glen Rose and underlying Travis Peak formations. However, because these aquifers extend over large areas, large volumes of water can be withdrawn. Below are publications associated with national aquifers. Surficial deposits of glacial origin (New Jersey) should be included in Sand and gravel aquifers (glaciated regions). Several agencies are investigating playa recharge and agricultural re-use projects over the aquifer. This system has been divided into three major water-producing components referred to as the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers. Historically, Texas has had a wealth of fresh to slightly saline water, which underlies more than 81 percent of the state.
