Beauchamps Springs (Texas)

Beauchamps Springs is a group of springs at the foot of Johnson Street in Houston, Harris County (at 29°47' N, 95°22' W). In the early days of Houston the springs were the city's chief water supply. The water feeds a pond covered with water hyacinths. Confederates had a campsite at the spring during the Civil War.qv On April 11, 1978, the water flow was only 1.7 gallons per minute. Heavy groundwater pumping in the vicinity has greatly lowered the water table.
