Nueces River Basin By Jason Jenkins

Basin Overview 11 HUC8 71 HUC10 432 HUC12 Approx 43,325.55 km2

Why Important? Provides water to reservoirs which support Corpus Christi and 18 other cities in region Flows into important salt marsh and estuarine systems Exceptionally vulnerable to droughts Covers a large area of southwest Texas 43,325.55 km2

From Texas Water Development Board Website (TXWB) http://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/municipal/corpus-christi

Growing Population = Growing Demand Over 500,000 residents and businesses and growing Annual consumption of the region for 2013 was 39,907,000,000 gallons (122,469 acre feet)* *From Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce From Texas Water Development Board Website (TXWB) http://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/municipal/corpus-christi

Available Soil Water Storage in Top 1m Area Mean 14.3% Max 27% Min 1% Std Dev 8.3% Nueces River Basin Available Soil Water Storage Darker blue represents higher percent storage in top meter of soil

Mean Annual Precipitation 1.25026E+12 ft3 Mean Annual Stream Flow 1.96598E+10 ft3 Runoff Ratio very low 0.0157 Vulnerability to Droughts

Future Plans Calculate freshwater input by waste water treatment plant Calculate runoff ratio for each HUC 8 in basin
