    Criteria and techniques for estimating optimum recreational capacity at water resources projects
    (Texas Tech University, 1959-05) Porter, Kenneth R.
    Participation in outdoor recreation is increasing in both the public and private sectors, and administrators of both realize the necessity for determining the optimum capacity of recreational areas. At the present, methods for evaluating capacity are divergent in terminology and use. Yet the objectives are the same: development of a planning and administrative tool for the best use of recreational resources. The basic principles for determining optimum capacity can be identified in these methods; however, they do not provide for a comprehensive approach to the problem. The purpose of this thesis is to employ these principles in developing a practical methodology for determining optimum capacity of water resource projects. The objective of this thesis is to develop methodologies which can assist agencies of the Federal Government, in particular the United States Army Corps of Engineers, in planning the development and utilization of these resources for recreational purposes.

    Recreation potential of the wildlife management areas of Texas
    (Texas Tech University, 1970-12) Winstead, Leonard Gordon
    In 1965 the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department published its first comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. This initial step toward a well-rounded system of recreation facilities was an important starting point toward future development. Even a cursory examination of this document revealed that facilities which existed in the state were not sufficient to carry future demands for recreation and were in some respects insufficient for demands at that time. Few will argue that new and different facilities are necessary, but-—the costs of developing such are the greatest barriers to improved service to the citizens of the state. In order to explore and improve all aspects of our recreation development, it may be necessary to reevaluate our existing facilities for possible new uses.

    Stormwater management and recreational master plan for south and southwest Lubbock
    (Texas Tech University, 1998-05) Rich, Mark A.
    There exists a landscape corridor just outside the southern limits of the city of Lubbock which, in a few years, will likely be included within the Lubbock city limits. The boundaries of this particular landscape corridor are 98th Street on the north. Farm to Market (FM) 1585 on the south, Upland Avenue on the west, and US Hwy 87 on the east comprising an area of approximately 14.8 square miles (9,472 acres). For purposes of this study, the landscape is divided into thirteen zones with each zone delineated by the existing grid sectional road layout. Although Lubbock is located in the Southern High Plains region of Texas, a region characterized by little topographic relief, the forementioned landscape poses unusual stormwater management issues for development because one of the seventeen playa lakes within the study area is unusually large. There, also, are high-voltage electrical transmission lines within a sixty foot wide electric utility easement running east to west through the corridor.
