Submerged lands of Texas, Galveston - Houston area:  sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands Submerged lands of Texas, Galveston - Houston area: sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands 1985

The State-owned submerged lands of Texas encompass almost 6,000 mi2 (15,540 km2). They lie below waters of the bay-estuary-lagoon system and the Gulf of Mexico and extend 10.3 mi (16.6 km) seaward from the Gulf shoreline (fig. 1).

Hydrogeology of Gulf coast aquifers, Houston-Galveston area, Texas Hydrogeology of Gulf coast aquifers, Houston-Galveston area, Texas 1977

Aquifers in the Houston-Galveston area are composed principally of fluvial-deltaic sediments. The Alta Loma Sand is a complexly faulted, high-sand-percent unit that represents a seaward progression of fluvial, delta-plain, and delta-front facies.
