The user provides the geometry and shear strength parameters for the slope in question and UTEXAS computes a factor of safety against slope failure. The factor of safety for a candidate failure surface is computed as the forces driving failure along the surface divided by the shear resistance of the soils along the surface. [2] UTEXAS employs a ...
The topographic wetness index (TWI), also known as the compound topographic index (CTI), is a steady state wetness index.It is commonly used to quantify topographic control on hydrological processes. [1]
Because almost all water bodies are dynamic in their composition, the relevant quality parameters are typically expressed as a range of expected concentrations. They include the natural and man-made chemical , biological and microbiological characteristics of rivers , lakes and ground-waters , the ways they are measured and the ways that they ...
During the 1990s, the Texas Legislature moved to make natural-resource protection more efficient by consolidating programs. In 1991, it combined the Texas Water Commission and the Texas Air Control Board to create the first version of the TCEQ, known as the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission until fall 1993.

Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, indicators of fecal ...
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 ...
A study on the trophic classification of Texas reservoirs in 2020 from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality found that Lake Tyler had a mean chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) level of 11.72 μg/L, a mean Secchi disk depth of 1.46 meters, and a mean total phosphorus level of 0.02 mg/L.
Example Bjerrum plot: Change in carbonate system of seawater from ocean acidification.. A Bjerrum plot (named after Niels Bjerrum), sometimes also known as a Sillén diagram (after Lars Gunnar Sillén), or a Hägg diagram (after Gunnar Hägg) [1] is a graph of the concentrations of the different species of a polyprotic acid in a solution, as a function of pH, [2] when the solution is at ...
