Water balance, salt loading, and salinity control options of Red Bluff Reservoir, Texas
Miyamoto S, Yuan F, Anand S. 2007. Water balance, salt loading, and salinity control options of Red Bluff Reservoir, Texas. Technical Report-298. Texas Agriculture Experiment Station. El Paso
"Red Bluff is the main reservoir of the Pecos River in Texas, and its maximum storage capacity adjusted to sediment accumulation is estimated at 357 million m3 (289,600 acre-ft.). Aside from the shortage of water entering the reservoir, high salinity has been a concern. This report was prepared with three main objectives: i) to outline water balance of the reservoir, ii) to establish salt loading trends over the past several decades, and iii) to evaluate the impact of salt loading on salinity of the reservoir and its outflow. We also outlined the needs for salinity control, and briefly discussed salinity control options." (from Report Summary)
