The investigation has covered Harris, Galveston and Waller Counties and a part of Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Liberty and Grimes Counties. In the summer of 1933 the investigation was interrupted because of a reduction in the State appropriation, periodic observations of water level fluctuations in certain key wells, however, being continued -- mostly by the water Department of Houston. In the spring of 1936 the cooperative investigation was resumed following the appropriation of $1500 by the City of Houston and the matching of this amount with an approximately equal sum by the Geological Survey.ground water; hydrology; water supply; water resources; water pumps; wells (water); water levels; water analysisBook
