Land-surface subsidence at Seabrook, Texas

Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas, has caused a decline in fluid pressures, which is turn had resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Seabrook is due principally to the removal of water. Significnt subsidence of the land surface probably began after 1920, and a minimum of about 3.3 feet and a maximum of

Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974

Water-resources investigations in Texas consist of the collection of basic records through the hydrologic-data network, interpretive studies, and research projects. An office was established in Austin, Texas, in 1915 for surface-water studies, for ground-water studies in 1929, and water-quality studies in 1937. Previous investigations of the water resources of Texas were carried out by personnel o

Evaluation of reservoir sites in North Carolina: Regional relations for estimating the reservoir capacity needed for a dependable water supply

Draft-storage-frequency relations, which show the storage required for a reservoir to furnish a specified withdrawal or draft are regionalized for four zones in the State, using the mean annual flow of the streams as an index. The differences between the zones primarily reflect differences in the variability of stream flow.To assure the available draft will fall below 75 percent of the mean annual

Geophysical logs from a geologic test hole near Charleston, South Carolina

On March 2, 1975, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a series of geophysical well logs in the Charleston Project Deep Core Hole No. 1 located at Latitude 32° 53.2 'N and Longitude 80° 21 . 5'W in Dorchester County near Charleston, South Carolina. The land surface is at an elevation of 5.4 m (18 ft) above mean sea level. The total depth of the test hole is 793 m (2,600 ft) and the geophysica
