Table 5 : Summary of land and water resource units, HGACThe Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (HGAC) encompasses over 12,000 square miles of southeast Texas (fig. 1). It is an area undergoing rapid development and population growth due to the presence of vast agricultural, mineral, and energy resources, expanding industrial activity, and diverse recreational areas. Planning is particularly critical in the HGAC to ensure orderly development. Consideration of natural environments, in addition to economic, social, and political aspects of planning, is essential because, as development proceeds, concentration of residential, urban, and industrial land uses tends to intensify the pressures on the environment and magnify the effects of natural conditions on human activities. The HGAC includes a diversity of natural environments. Identification of these areas and evaluation of the variations in their capacity for use are valuable planning tools.UT LibrariesBureau of Economic Geolog
