Rainfall, hurricanes, rivers, reservoirs, springs, lakes, aquifers, 
wetlands, floodplains, water parks, irrigation, wells—the list of 
water-related topics in Texas is long and critical to the state's 
economic and political future. Texas Water Atlas provides the 
first comprehensive reference for water-related topics in Texas.

    Geographers Lawrence E. Estaville and Richard A. Earl have 
compiled a host of data to visually convey vital information on 
Texas' climate, surface and groundwater, water uses and hazards, 
water quantity and quality, recreation, future supply projections, and 
the environmental management of its water resources. In addition to 
more than 150 color maps, the book includes brief introductions to 
each chapter and a Texas water timeline that traces the state's water 
events since European settlement.

    An excellent resource for teachers, students, and policy makers, 
the atlas promises also to be an invaluable tool for conservation 
professionals and the general public.
