Water-Level Measurement Data, Water-Level Altitude and Long-term Water-Level Altitude Change Contours (2017) in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper Aquifers, Houston-Galveston Region, Texas

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District, City of Houston, Fort Bend Subsidence District, and Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District created this dataset that provides water‐level measurements, altitudes, and changes in water-level altitudes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers in the Houston‐Galveston region, Texas. The dataset shows current-year (2016-17) water-level altitudes, depth to water, and 1-year (2016-17) water-level changes of select wells screened in the Chicot, Jasper, or Evangeline aquifers. The water‐level measurements in the dataset are built upon and stored in the National Water Information System: Web Interface, groundwater information, field measurements site located here: http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN. This site is a publicly available, searchable, online database of water information.
