“…Because of the weight of the overburden and the inelastic compaction characteristics of the clay layers, about 90 percent of the compaction is permanent (Gabrysch and Bonnet, 1975). Thus, when potentiometric surfaces rise and repressure compacted clay layers there is little, if any, rebound of the land surface (Gabrysch and Bonnet, 1975).…”

“…Thus, when potentiometric surfaces rise and repressure compacted clay layers there is little, if any, rebound of the land surface (Gabrysch and Bonnet, 1975). Although the compaction of one clay layer generally will not cause a noticeable decrease in the land-surface altitude, if numerous stacked clay-layer sequences (which are characteristic of the Gulf Coast aquifer system) depressure and compact, then appreciable decreases in land-surface altitude can and do occur (Gabrysch and Bonnet, 1975). More than 10 ft of land-surface subsidence has been documented in the Baytown and Houston Ship Channel area in southwestern Harris County (Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, 1998), as will be shown in the "Model Calibration" section.…”

“…In cooperation with the HGSD, the USGS has monitored water levels in wells screened in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers and compaction of subsurface sediments in Harris and Galveston Counties since 1976. The USGS has published annual reports depicting water-level altitudes and water-level changes for the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston-Galveston region beginning with the 1977 water-level-altitude maps (Gabrysch, 1979). Subsequently, the monitoring of groundwater levels was expanded into the Fort Bend subregion (encompassing Fort Bend County and adjacent areas), and the first water-level-altitude maps for this area were created and presented in the 1991 waterlevel report (Barbie and others, 1991) and subsequently revised in 1997 (Kasmarek, 1997).…”
