Bonnet United States Geological Survey INTRODUCTION the collection of water samples from wells for chemical analyses, an inventory of ground-water pumpage, The collection of hydrologic data in Harris water-level measurements in observation wells, pumping County, Texas, was begun by the U.S. Geological Survey tests on large-capacity wells, and a compilation of on a more or less continuing basis in 1929. The current information on land-surface subsidence. data-collection program is in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board and the city of Houston. This report presents records of 2,635 wells in 10 areas (Figure 1) in Harris County that have been The data-collection program consists of an collected as part of the inventory from 1929 to 1972. inventory of new large-capacity and other selected wells, Data on geology, hydrology, pumpage, water levels, and EXPLANATION Sludy area Figure 1.—Location of Areas in Harris County chemical quality of ground water in Harris County may number from 1 to 9. This is the fifth digit of the well be obtained from previous publications, some of which number. Finally, each well within a 2%-minute quadrangle are listed in the selected references in this report. is given a 2-digit number in the order in which it was inventoried, starting with 01. These are the last two digits of the well number. WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM Only the last three digits of the well number are The well-numbering system in Texas was shown at each location on Figures 2-11; the first four developed by the Texas Water Development Board for digits are shown in the northwest corner of each use throughout the State. Under this system, each 71/2-minute quadrangle. 1-degree quadrangle is given a number consisting of two digits. These are the first two digits in the well number. In addition to the 7-digit well number, a 2-letter Each 1-degree quadrangle is divided into 71/2-minute prefix is used to identify the county. The prefix for quadrangles which are given 2-digit numbers from 01 to Harris County is LJ. The prefix is not included with the 64. These are the third and fourth digits of the well well numbers in the table because all wells are in Harris number.
