• Abstract:
  Playa lakes, arid regions, and karst terrains are significant geographic and hydrological features throughout Texas, each posing unique challenges due to their complex and varied hydrology. Currently, there are no standardized guidelines or criteria for the hydrological and hydraulic design of transportation infrastructure in these landscapes, which forces designers to rely heavily on project-specific judgment to determine appropriate hydrological parameters. The primary objective of this task was to conduct surveys and interviews to gather information on the current state of knowledge and practices regarding the hydrology of playa lakes, karst terrains, and arid regions.
