Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas Land-surface subsidence in the area of Moses Lake near Texas City, Texas

Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Moses Lake in due principally to the removal of ground water in adjacent areas.

Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974 Time-of-travel of solutes in the Trinity River basin, Texas, September 1973 and July-August 1974

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity River Authority of Texas, conducted timee-of-travel studies in the Trinity River basin during a period of low flow September 19-23, 1973, and during a period of moderate flow July 23-August 1, 1974. The purpose of these two studies was to provide data that could be used by the Trinity River...

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...
