Historic TWDB Groundwater Reports

This historic Texas Board of Water Engineers report series ran from 1936 to 1961. As of February, 2017, all available hard copies have been scanned. Hard copies are not available. Unscanned, unlinked report titles are shown on this page for reference only. Many of these reports contain records of wells, driller's logs, water analyses, and maps.

Note that a few of these historic reports included large fold out maps, but they were too large and fragile to be scanned.
