Local ground conditions

Houston sits on the Gulf Coast Prairie (USDA land resource area 150A), where USDA NRCS maps the Lake Charles series: clays and silty clays with 45 to 60 percent clay, classified as smectitic Vertisols. The official series description notes dry-season cracks 0.5 to 2 inches wide reaching 12 inches or more deep, open 60 to 90 cumulative days in most years, and calls the series extensive across southeast Texas between the Colorado and Trinity Rivers. East of the Trinity River, NRCS maps the related Beaumont clay. The Texas Water Development Board records the 2010-2014 drought as the state's second worst and 2022 conditions rivaling 2011.
