Major River and Coastal Basins of Texas

Texas river and coastal basins are numbered as part of a classification system TCEQ uses to support management of surface water resources. Segments (portions or reaches) of a basin are assigned numbers that begin with the basin number and add two additional numbers that identify a specific area of a water body; for example, Segment 0101 of the Canadian River.

GIS Data Sets

Data layers for use in ArcGIS. Includes data such as stream, lake, and bay segments; permitted wastewater outfalls; regulatory boundaries; and land use. Some file sizes are large and therefore may be slow to download or may "timeout" before download is complete.
