Urban expansion in the vicinity of Houston has resulted in the depletion of groundwater resources, leading to land subsidence and sinkage. The region grapples with recurring flooding due to hurricanes and heavy rainfall, making certain areas in Texas among the most susceptible to flash floods in the United States. Effective water management hinges on the utilization of geospatial data, with a particular emphasis on LiDAR elevation data. The Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) leverages the StratMap program to support both regional and local mapping endeavours for water resources. Recognizing the pressing need for updated LiDAR data in the Houston area and its surroundings, the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR-TSO-3391) initiated a project in 2017 with Fugro to collect the data.
