Cumulative compaction (from site activation through 2022) of subsurface sediments in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the greater Houston Area, Texas (ver. 5.0, August 2023) The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Harris‐Galveston Subsidence District, City of Houston, and the Fort Bend Subsidence District, produced a dataset through 2022 of compaction values in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the greater Houston area, Texas. This dataset contains compaction values associated with subsurface sediments (mostly in the fine-grained silt and clay layers because little compaction occurs in sand layers) in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers that were recorded continuously using analog technology at 14 extensometers at 12 locations (a pair of extensometers are installed at different depths at 2 of the 12 locations). Of the 14 extensometers, 13 were activated between... Categories: Data Release - Revised; Tags: Chicot aquifer, Evangeline aquifer, Galveston County, Harris County, Texas, All tags...
