Economic Impacts of Groundwater Management Standards : In the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District of Texas (open access)

Economic Impacts of Groundwater Management Standards : In the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District of Texas

"The objective of this study was to conduct an economic analysis of how the 50/50 management standard would impact irrigated producers in the region and the overall agricultural economy. Specifically this analysis was conducted on three levels: county, hydro-logic area, and representative farm. The study focused on the dynamic changes in agricultural production, saturated thickness, farm revenue, and the capacity to irrigate. A socioeconomic model was subsequently used to estimate changes in the regional economy due to changes in gross farm income that may occur under the 50/50 management standard." (p. 5).

Application guide and specifications for geotextiles in roadway applications (open access)

Application guide and specifications for geotextiles in roadway applications

Abstract: "Geotextiles, one among the different geosynthetic products, can be used for a number of functions or applications in pavement design. The benefits of using geotextiles in pavements and other transportation applications have triggered a proliferation of products. While this abundance of new products has led to reduction in costs, it has also made it difficult for TxDOT personnel to choose appropriate products based on their engineering properties. Consequently, this report provides the basis for (i) guidelines for proper use and selection of geotextiles in pavements, (ii) material specifications for geotextiles in pavement applications, and (iii) draft construction specifications."

Identification of priority rail projects for Texas: initial methodology/user manual and guidebook

"This project developed a system of evaluative tools for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to prioritize its investments in rail-related projects on a statewide basis. This work is meant to ensure that the limited available funding for rail projects is applied in the most beneficial and efficient manner and is focused upon addressing TxDOT's strategic goals. From the findings, researches recommend a transparent methodology for evaluating proposed rail projects and establishing an initial process through which rail-related investments can periodically be re-evaluated."
