Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas

Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown is becoming critical because much of the area is now subject to inundation by high tides. Production of oil and gas from the Goose Creek Field on the southea

In carrying out this objective, the Survey is the primary source of hydrologic data that are basic not only to the quantification of the water resource but

Simulated water-level changes resulting from proposed changes in ground-water pumping in the Houston area, Texas

The need for additional water supplies in the Houston area prompted construction of Lake Livingston on the Trinity River in Polk and San Jacinto Counties, about 60 miles (96 km) northeast of Houston, as a source of surface water for municipal supply, industrial use, and irrigation.  Water from the Lake Livingston will become available to users in the Houston area early in 1976.

Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana

Chemical analyses of water samples from 296 wells in the Red River alluvial aquifer indicate that the ground water in the valley is generally hard (more than 120 milligrams per liter) and has a high iron concentration (greater than 6,000 micrograms per liter). The predominant ions found in the water were calcium and bicarbonate. However, in places in the vicinity of Natchitoches, saline water, pro
