The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in a partnership with ExxonMobil Corporation, developed an updated Lake Houston EFDC model for predicting water-surface elevation, residence time, water temperature, and salinity. With a focus on salinity and water-surface elevations, the updated model simulated conditions from 2009-2017 with additional flow to simulate the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer under three different flow scenarios. One of the primary partnership goals was to understand the impact of the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer on salinity. The original model was developed and calibrated by using 2009 data and validated by using 2010 data, whereas the enhanced model (baseline model) of this project was calibrated...

Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas on August 25 as a category 4 hurricane with wind gusts exceeding 150 miles per hour. As Harvey moved inland the forward motion of the storm slowed down and produced tremendous rainfall amounts to southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. Historic flooding occurred in Texas and Louisiana as a result of the widespread, heavy rainfall over an 8-day period in Louisiana in August and September 2017. Following the storm event, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) hydrographers recovered and documented 2,123 high-water marks in Texas, noting location and height of the water above land surface. Many of these high-water marks were used to create flood-inundation maps for...
