~ODUCTION
Periodic measurements of vater levels are made in selected observation wells
throughout the state as a part of an observation well program conducted cooper
atively by the Texas Board of Water Engineers and the U. S. Geological Survey to
evaluate the e~ects of ground-vater development in relation to available supply,
This bulletin contains water-level measurements made in 38 wells in Cameron
County, 27 wells in Hidalgo County, and 43 wells in Starr Cocnty, The period of
record covers measurements made in observation wells from 1950 through 1959.
An observation well location map faces the corresponding table of water
level measurements for each county,
