2. Project Objectives
• Analyze the major and minor Texas
aquifers for the subsidence risk
• Develop subsidence prediction tools
for at-risk aquifers
• Recommendation of subsidence
monitoring methods
3. Data Compilation
Three primary variables:
• distribution, thickness, and compressibility
of clay layers
• amount and timing of water-level changes
• lowest historical water level
Data types we will focus on:
• Geologic depositional history
• Aquifer material geotechnical properties
(eq clay content, compressibility)
• Water-level data
• Pumping data
• Subsidence observations (land surface
elevation changes)
Clay Layer
Compaction
4. What We’ll Be doing…
• Contacting Potential Data Sources
• Reviewing Data
• Assessing Risk
• Recommending Monitoring
• State-wide Reporting
