Land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
The pumping of large amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 200 feet (61 metres) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 325 feet (99 metres) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-73. The maximum annual rates of decline for 1943-73 were 6.7 feet (2.0 metres) in the Chicot...

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

Hydrology of the Dismal Swamp, Virginia-North Carolina Hydrology of the Dismal Swamp, Virginia-North Carolina
The Dismal Swamp, on the border between eastern Virginia and North Carolina is one of the few remaining large (approximately 210,000 acres) areas of wet wilderness in the eastern United States. There has been much speculation concerning the hydrologic conditions that led to the formation of the swamp. Oaks and Coch (1973) recently completed a detailed investigation of the geology and...

Geologic and hydrologic control of chloride contamination in aquifers at Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia Geologic and hydrologic control of chloride contamination in aquifers at Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia
Water from a brackish-water zone (1,050-1,350 ft) has concentrations as high as 2,150 milligrams per liter chloride, and concentrations are suspected to be higher than 3,000 milligrams per liter chloride. This brackish water has been identified as the source of the water that contaminates the upper and lower fresh-water-bearing zones of the principal artesian aquifer. The confining unit...

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

Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972 Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a total of approximately 3,500 floodwater-retarding structures to be...
