WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES'IN 1946

Part 4. SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

The rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in 

which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is stored to supply 

wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods of

fair weather. Water levels in wells register the stages of these natural

«

reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by 

drought or by heavy pumping, whether for public waterworks, irrigation, or 

industrial uses, and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons 

of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in pressure recorded on 

flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935 and 

has continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 the 

records have been published in six volumes, covering the northeastern, 

southeastern, north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern 

sections of the country. Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. 

(See fig. 1.) The following table gives the numbers of these reports. 

This series of water-supply papers is in a sense an inventory, year by 

year, of the ground-water supplies of such parts of the.country as have 

been covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the south-central States and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,490 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana,

V

Oklahoma, and Texas. Of these wells, 41 are equipped with automatic 

water-stage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete 

records of water level are given in this volume, including those of the 

years before 1945. For wells whose previous records have been published 

this volume gives only the current records. If a complete description of 

a well has been published in a previous report, only the well number or 

the well number and a brief identifying description are given in this report. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well number are 

those of the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that well are 

given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a 

description of the well is given in the paper whose number is so marked. 

This report includes about 6,800 individual determinations of water level 

and artesian pressure.

Land-surface datum

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the 

measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea level or 

above or below various assumed datum planes. It had been considered inadvisable to adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and 

artesian heads until after a period of trial with datum planes of different 

kinds. In 1943, however, it was decided that uniform practice should be
INTRODUCTION

adopted. Accordingly, precise datum planes were established approximating 

the land surface at each well. The water levels and. artesian heads for all 

wells listed in this report are given in reference to land-surface datum 

planes. If the water levels or artesian heads are referred tx> land-surface 

datum for the first time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive

Figure 1. Outline map of the United States showing sections of the country 

eoT*red by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian 

pressure in observation wells in 1946. The shaded section represents 

the part of the country covered by this volume.

iRftttei? preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of the older and 

newer records. Wherever the conversion factor is given in earlier reports 

it is not repeated in this report. New data as to the positions of the 

measuring point and of the bench marks, in feet above or below land-surface 

datum planes, will be published in succeeding annual reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected because the fluctuations of water level in them a re believed to be typical 

and they represent the general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the 

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1946 the network
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTH-CEHTRAL STATES

Included about 160 wells In 45 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942 and about 20 were established In 

1943; the other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly In connection with cooperative ground-water Investigations. The coverage of the 

country Is still far from adequate, and It Is expected that some wells not 

now Included will be added to the network from time to time.

Changes In ground-water level in 1946 In the south-central part of the

United States

During 1946 the precipitation In most of the States in the southcentral section of the country was above normal. For the five months from 

June through October, however, precipitation was considerably below normal 

In Arkansas and Oklahoma. The fluctuations of both water level and artesian pressure In wells depend, however, on many factors besides the amount 

of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells there are fluctuations caused by differences In the rate of pumping or artesian flow from 

other wells In the area, but most of the observation wells are not noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. A summary of the changes in 

ground-water level Is given in the chapter for each State.

ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE REGIOM

By R. C. Baker and Ji H. Criner

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of depth to water levels in wells in the Grand Prairie 

region, were made in the spring of 1946 in cooperation with the State 

Agricultural Experiment Station and Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. The 

measurements were made by Professor Kyle Engler and Mr. E. A. Gillman. 

This is the twentieth successive year in which a well-measurement program 

has been conducted in this region, the first measurement having been made 

in September 1927 in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological Survey.

The Grand Prairie region of Arkansas comprises Arkansas County, large 

parts of Lonoke and Prairie Counties, and small parts of Jefferson and 

Monroe Counties. Rice is extensively cultivated in ttie region. A large 

proportion of the water used for rice irrigation is taken from wells, most 

of which tap water-bearing material of Quaternary age. A discussion of 

the conditions affecting the ground-water resources of the region, and an

account of the early pumping operations and their effect on the general

I/ 

ground-water level are .given in an earlier report. Later reports bring

these records up to date and include the records of other wells as measurements in them are begun. In June 1945 a comprehensive report summarizing

all of the work done in the cooperative investigations was published by the

£/ University of Arkansas.

6 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level in wells in the Grand Prairie region 

are caused, in part, by differences in natural recharge and discharge from 

the aquifer. The water levels in nearly all wells in the region fluctuate 

as a result of changes in atmospheric pressure; this may be as much as 

0.8 foot in 24 hours and 1 foot in a few days. Corrections for changes in 

atmospheric pressure can be made and are necessary to make accurate comparisons of water levels at different times. Measurements given here have 

not been corrected for atmospheric changes. In the extreme southeastern 

portion of the region some fluctuation of water levels is probably caused 

by differences in the stage of the White River.

Changes in water level are also caused by pumping. The water levels 

tend to stand highest in the spring just before the irrigation pumping commences, then decline during the period of pumping, the rate of decline 

being fairly large at fi'rst, then decreasing. Local differences in water 

level are caused by local differences in .pumping. After pumping ceases the 

water levels rise, fairly rapidly at first, then at a decreasing rate, and 

by spring tend to stand near the levels of the previous spring. The trend 

of water level or artesian head from year to year may be determined by 

annual measurements made in the spring as late as possible before pumping 

for Irrigation is begun. In some years measurements of water level were 

made in the fall but then the general trend of water levels may be masked 

by local irregularities due to differences in pumping. Water levels were 

not meflsured in the fall of 1946.

Well 280 is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder, and 

measurements of the water level are given at the times the recorder charts 

were changed, which was generally once a week. A continuous record of the 

fluctuations of water level in this well has been obtained since August 

1928.

Ashley County

A survey of the ground-water resources in Ashley County was started 

in the spring of 1946, in cooperation with the city of Crossett and the 

University of Arkansas, Bureau of Research, and a program of annual spring 

measurements of depth to water levels was inaugurated.
ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS COUNTY

There are three areas in Ashley County where rice is cultivated. The 

largest area is in Pine Prairie about 8 miles northeast of Hamburg. 

Another area is about 4-J miles southwest of Hamburg, and the other extends 

northwest from Hamburg for a distance of about 5 miles. The rice lands 

irrigated with ground water were increased from 175 acres from 1 well in 

1942 to 2,000 acres from 9 wells in 1946.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-we11 program in Louisiana was begun in May 1938 in 

cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Conservation. An expansion 

of the program was made possible in 1943 when the Louisiana Department of 

Public Works also entered into cooperation with the Geological Survey.

Observations of water level were made in 261 key wells in 29 parishes 

in 1946. Automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 34 of these 

wells for at least a part of the year, enabling more reliable interpretation of measured water-level fluctuations. Of the recorders operated on 

key wells, 19 were of the weekly type and 15 were of^ the continuous type. 

A total of 2,073 individual measurements was made in these wells not 

equipped with recorders.

Measurements were made at monthly intervals in 114 wells, biweekly in 

29 wells, at weekly intervals in 4 wells and in the remainder at irregular 

intervals. All measurements were made by members of the technical staff 

of the Federal Geological Survey with- the exception of those for well 

Sc-6, at Norco, which were obtained through the cooperation of the officials 

of the Shell Oil Company.

During the early part of the year the observation-well program was 

primarily directed toward solution of the public water-supply problem at 

Monroe. During the summer the focus of investigations shifted to the ricefarming area of southwestern Louisiana, where an intensified quantitative 

study was made and the observation-well program was broadened. A report 

on ground-water conditions in the Monroe area was completed in December.

determine whether or not an alternative or supplemental public-water supply 

from wells could be made available to the city of Monroe. In order to keep 

an accurate check of the fluctuations of water levels in this area, 

automatic water-stage recorders were installed on 2 unused wells in the 

Monroe area and periodic measurements were begun in 12 other wells. Investigation of water-supply problems and observation of water levels were 

continued in the Bastrop area, in Storehouse Parish, and in the Springhill 

area, in Webster Parish. Indications are that there is no improvement in 

the critical ground-water conditions -in these areas. Heavy withdrawals

of water from the deeper sand (890 feet) at Bastrop has caused a steady 

decline of water level in a period of 1 year from 134 feet to 147 feet below l^pd-surface.

Observations of water level in one unused well of the Southern Advange 

Bag and Paper Co., at Hodge, in Jackson Parish, were continued through use 

of a continuous automatic water-stage recorder. The record is not of 

sufficient duration to enable sound conclusions to be made with regard to 

water-level trends.

Central Louisiana. During 1946 a total of 76 measurements of water 

level was made in 18 wells in Natchitoches, Grant, LaSalle, and Rapides 

Parishes. Wells in the Alexandria area which tap the "1100-foot" sand, 

the principal aquifer, showed a marked recovery the first 2 months of the 

year and later declined, as indicated by the hydrograph, figure 3.

in observation wells in the camp areas have recovered to.prewar levels. 

Records of an observation well at Golfax, in Grant Parish, showed that the 

water level of the aquifer, which supplies the town, has declined gradually 

in the last 10 months from 62 feet to 76 feet below land surface. At 

Pishville, also in Grant Parish, the record Indicates the water level has 

made a slight recovery during the year.

In the Natchitoches area, observations of water level in a well which 

taps a Wilcox sand that supplies about one-third of the public water-supply 

of that city, indicate that the pressure head has fluctuated during the 

year from 23.8 to 21.2 feet above land surface, but no decline from 1945 

levels is apparent.

Southwestern Louisiana. 1,703 measurements were made during 1946 in 

165 wells in 12 parishes in southwestern Louisiana. The observation-well 

program in this area continued on a broad scale to enable preparation of 

piezometric maps of water in the Pleistocene sands and gravels which are 

tapped by wells which pumped about 480,000 acre-feet of water to irrigate 

about 45 percent of the rice acreage in this area. Water levels in key 

wells continued a sharp decline during the pumping season as shown by the 

hydrograph, figure 5. However, the water level for the two wells, as 

indicated on the hydrograph, did not decline to the low point reached in 

1944.

Water levels in wells which tap the "500-foot" sand in the Lake Charles 

industrial area repeated a sharp decline during the summer months, as in 

previous years, as a result of heavy withdrawal in the industrial area 

from wells at the Cities Service Co. refinery and butadiene plant, and the 

Pirestone Tire and Rubber Co. plant, and in the nearby rice-irrigation 

areas. Levels in the "700-foot" sand, which is tapped by fewer industrial 

wells but supplies the entire municipal needs of the city of Lake Charles, 

showed a sharp decline in the latter part of the summer but recovered 

completely in the latter part of the year as shown on figure 4.

Southeastern Louisiana. The observation-well program In southeastern 

Louisiana was continued on a limited scale during 1946. A total of 248 

measurements was made In 54 wells in 9 parishes, and automatic water-stage 

recorders were operated in 8 wells in East Baton Rouge Parish, 1 well in 

St. Charles Parish, and 1 well in Orleans Parish during the year.

Although water levels In key wells tapping the A-l ("400-foot") and 

A-2 ("600-foot") sands In the Baton Rouge area rose In the spring of 1946 

to the highest levels since 1940, the decline In the summer and fall - 

months was more pronounced than In 1945. This Is shown on the composite 

of hydrographs, figures 6 and 7.

Water levels In wells which tap the deep sands (800 to 2,500 feet) 

In the Baton Rouge area resumed a decline begun In the early war years.

During the past 4 years the average water level of well Sc-6, at 

Norco, In St. Charles Parish, has declined about 3 feet a year. In anticipation of a future ground-water shortage, the Shell Oil Company Initiated 

a program of exploratory well drilling In 1946, In the northern part of 

the refinery area.

Artesian pressures of key flowing wells In southeastern Louisiana 

showed little change from previous years. The pressures of the deepest 

wells showed declines of a few feet, but, In view of the high pressures of 

these wells, such declines are not considered significant.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program in Oklahoma, which was begun in 1934, 

was continued through 1946 in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College.

In the Stillwater Creek Basin, Payne County, where the first systematic 

observations of water levels in Oklahoma were begun in cooperation with 

the Soil Conservation Service, the observation-well program was continued 

in cooperation with Dr. H. J. Harper, head of the Department of Agronomy 

of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. Dr. M. J. Plice, 

also of the Department of Agronomy, who has served as voluntary well 

observer since 1940, made the water-level measurements in 1946.

Measurements in an irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton 

Substation near Tipton, Tillman County, started in 1944, were continued 

in 1946 through the courtesy of I. M. Parrott, Superintendent. The 

substation is operated by the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College 

and the United States Department of Agriculture.

The rest of the observation-well program was conducted in cooperation 

with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. It includes observations in the 

Panhandle, begun in 1937j Cleveland County, begun in 1939; the North 

Canadian River Valley (Canadian, Blaine, Major, Woodward, and Harper 

Counties) begun in 1940; Oklahoma and Mcciain Counties, begun in 1943; 

Caddo County, begun in 1945; and Grady, Mils, and Ouster Counties, begun 

in 1946. The locations of the observation wells are shown in figure 8.

Brief' descriptions of the topography, geology, and ground-water conditions of the parts of Oklahoma covered by the observation-well program 

have been published in previous water-supply papers of this series as 

follows: Stillwater Creek Basin, 777; the Panhandle, 840 and 845; 

Cleveland County, 886 and 939; Noo?th Canadian River Valley, 909; Canadian 

County, 947j Oklahoma County, 989 and 1019; Tillman County, 1019. Grady, 

Ellis, and Custer Counties are described in this report.

OKLAHOMA 81

During 1946 more than 1,400 water-level measurements were made in 

185 wells, and in 2 of these wells automatic water-stage recorders'were 

operated throughout the year. Observations were discontinued in 6 wells 

after one or more measurements had been made in 1946, and 19 other wells 

were discontinued without having been measured. Measurements were resumed 

in 1 well in Texas County after a lapse of 4 years, 1 shallow well in 

Canadian County was replaced after 2 years, and 31 wells were added to the 

program. Of the new wells, 11 are shallow driven v/ells put down in 

alluvium by the Geological Survey,

The observation wells in Cleveland County were measured weekly, as 

was the Tillman County well, except during periods of heavy pumpage for 

irrigation. Monthly measurements were made in Payne, Caddo, Oklahoma, 

and McClain Counties through the year, and in Grady County beginning in 

April. V/ells in the North Canadian River Valley were measured seven to 

eight times. Most of the wells in Canadian County were measured from one 

to three tints, but a few wells considered in relation to others in the 

North Canadian River Valley or in Oklahoma County were measured more often, 

the maximum number of measurements in any one well being 18. In the Panhandle the wells were measured once or twice except Beaver County 528, 

which was measured weekly by Carl S. Kerr, of the Southwestern Public 

Service Company. Prom two to four measurements were made in the wells in 

Ellis and Custer Counties.

. The investigation of the water resources of the Rush Springs sand- - 

stone member of the Whitehorse formation in Grady County, begun in 1945, 

was continued, and the investigation in Beaver County, which had been 

interrupted by the war, was resumed1 . Work in other counties, which had 

progressed far enough during the war so that practical answers to pressing 

problems could be 'furnished to interested parties, was dormant during most 

of the year while attention was given to new water supplies for Pauls 

Valley, Chickasha, Durant, and other towns. In a short investigation of 

the quality of water from the Boone formation, 11 water samples were 

collected in Adair, Cherokee, and Delaware Counties.

Pumpage

Ground-water pumpage in Oklahoma is estimated to have been about 

17.6 billion gallons in 1946, divided as follows:

Billion gallons

Municipal use 9.6

Industrial use 4.4

Rural use 5.6

Total 17.6

Records of pumpage are best for the Oklahoma Panhandle, from which 

reports of municipal pumpage in the larger towns are furnished regularly 

through the countesy of the Southwestern Public Service Company. Total 

ground-water pumpage in the Panhandle in 1946 was about 767,385,000 gallons, 

or 2,355 acre-feet. This includes water pumped for irrigation and industrial purposes. Texas County leads with 559,234,000 gallons pumped. 

In Beaver County 130,374,000 gallons were pumped, and in Cimarron County 

77,777,000 gallons.

Precipitation

Precipitation in Oklahoma in 1946, as reported in the monthly climatic summaries of the V/eather Bureau, was 35.57 inches, which is 2.62 

inches above average. Precipitation was above average in 7 months and 

below average in 5 months, the greatest deficiency occurring in July, when 

it was 1.93 inches below average. The greatest excess of precipitation 

occurred in November, and was 2.37 inches above average.

The precipitation at six stations in the Oklahoma Panhandle averaged 

22.24 inches, which is about 4.6 inches above normal for the area. The 

precipitation was above average at all of the five stations for which the 

Weather Bureau has established an average, the maximum departure occurring 

at Hooker, which received 8.72 inches more than the average.

At Stillwater the precipitation for 1946 was 28.30 inches, which is 

5.05 inches below average; in Norman, 35.54 inches, which is 2.32 inches 

above average; at Anadarko, 28.^6 inches, which is 1.46 inches above 

average; and at Oklahoma City, 32.16 inches, which is 1.01 inches above 

average. A Weather Bureau average for Tipton has not been established 

but the total precipitation of 25.01 inches in 1946 is more than 2 inches 

below the average for nearby Frederick.

At Arnett, which is the only weather station in Bills County, precipitation in 1946 totaled 21.12 inches, or 2.53 inches below average.

Precipitation at Chickasha, as reported by the Weather Bureau, was 

36.23 inches in 1946, or 5.42 inches above average. Precipitation from 

January through April was 1.08 inches above average; from May through

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL 

Panhandle

In the Panhandle Counties Beaver, Texas, and Cimarron the water 

levels in the Ogallala formation, which is the most important aquifer 

in the area, continued the general rise that started in 1941, and r'eached 

new high stages for the period of record. Compared with the levels of 

October 1945 (the previous high on record), the average water level for 

October 1946 was 0.28 foot higher in Beaver County and 0.35 foot higher 

in Texas County, but was 0.15 foot lower In Cimarron County (fig. 10). 

Notwithstanding the small decline in 1946, the greatest rise over the 

period of record has occurred in Cimarron County, where the droughts of 

the thirties were the most severe.

The average water level of the wells tapping the redbeds of Beaver 

County was 0.21 foot higher In October 1946 than in October 1945, when 

the previous high was recorded. In Texas County, however, the water level 

in one redbed well was 0.20 foot lower in October 1946 than In October 

1945, and 0.38 foot lower than the previous lowest recorded level, which 

occurred In both June 1941 and April 1942.

86 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

The water levels in shallow wells in alluvium behaved differently 

in each county. In Beaver County, the water levels for May 1946 averaged 

0.53 foot lower than in October 1945, but by the following October they 

had risen 1.79 feet, making a net rise of 0.26 foot for the year. In 

Texas County, both of the 1946 measurements showed a rise of water level, 

and the average rise for the year was 2.03 feet. In Cimarron County, the 

level for May 1946 was abore that for October 1945, but by the following 

October had declined somewhat, so that the net rise for the year was 1.73 

feet.

Because the rise in water level was relatively large in the Ogallala 

formation and this formation is the principal aquifer, the weighted 

average for the Panhandle as a whole has risen gradually since 1941 and 

in October 1946 was at the highest, level yet recorded.

The following tables summarize the average water levels for the 

several groups of wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle. They continue the 

record of averages in similar tables published in previous water-supply 

papers of this series. An asterisk indicates that the water level is 

the highest observed during the period of record.

Cleveland County

At the end of 1946, 11 wells were being measured in Cleveland County, 

well 14 having been added in October. It is a shallow driven well in the 

alluvium of Canadian River on "Ten-Mile Plat" about 5 miles northwest of 

Norman.

Cleveland County well 1 is on a high terrace above Canadian River. 

It penetrates a thin terrace deposit of low permeability that contains 

water only part of the time, and it enters the Hennessey share, which is 

the only contributing aquifer during periods of low water table. As there 

is no nearby pumpage from these aquifers, the water level fluctuates in 

response to natural causes, and it promptly reflects precipitation once 

the soil moisture has been replenished after drought (fig. 11). In 1946 

the water level rose in this well until, on March 20, the highest level 

for the year was reached, 2.88 feet below land-surface datum. Thereafter 

it declined rather steadily and on October 18 the lowest level was recorded, 10.09 feet below land-surface datum. Through the rest of the year 

the water level rose about 1.5 feet but at the end of December it was 2.06 

feet lower than in late December 1945 and 1.08 feet below the December 

average. The water level in well 14 responded similarly during the period 

that it was measured, declining through October, rising 2.68 feet (December 

13) and then declining so that on December 27 it was 0.8 foot higher than 

when first measured.
88 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

The other wells in Cleveland County are deep, tapping the "Herman 

water sand," and all are affected by pumpage in one way or another. Reduction in water consumption at the former naval bases, now used by the 

University of Oklahoma, and the northward extension of the Horman well 

field, have relieved the heavy draft in the town area, permitting large 

recoveries of water level in some wells. In well 4, in the city park, the 

water level rose 55 feet during the year, and in well 10, on the main 

campus of the university, the water level rose 41 feet. In both wells 

"the total recovery from the lowest recorded levels is over 100 feet.

The water level in well 5, which is a^out 5.5 miles east of Norman, 

was about 7.5 feet higher at the end of the year than at the beginning. 

An automatic water-stage recorder has been operated in this well since 

late in 1942, and the record shows that each year the water level rises to 

a peak in June or July and then declines to a minimum level in September 

(fig. 11). In 1945, the early summer peak was nearly obscured by the 

pronounced decline caused ly increasing pumpage in the Norman area, and 

in 1944 it was only slightly above the low levels of the previous autumn 

and winter. This peak reached about the same height in 1945, but in 1946 

was about 6 feet higher, although it was 0.5 foot below the level reached 

later, at the end of the year.

V/ell 6 is about 6 miles southeast of Norman. 'Weekly measurements 

in it have indicated that the water-level fluctuations very closely 

parallel those in well 5. At the end of the year, the water level was 

about 6 feet higher than at the beginning.

Water levels in wells 12 and 15 continued to decline slowly due to 

gradual expansion of the cone of depression created by pumpage in the 

West Moore oil field and in the recently developed northern part of the 

Norman well field. In mid-October the water level in well 12 reached 

the lowest level yet recorded (fig. 11), and then rose slightly. At the 

end of the year, it was about 5 feet lower than at the beginning, and 

nearly 14 feet below the first recorded water level (March 27, 1945). 

In well 13 the water level rose more rapidly in the last quarter, and 

at the end of the year it was about 1 foot higher than at the beginning, 

but 2.45 feet lower than when first measured on September 24, 1945.

Well B is only 57 feet from the public-supply well of Noble, and the 

water level fluctuates widely in response to the pumping. In 1946 the 

fluctuations were in about the same range as in 1945, indicating no 

significant change in ground-water storage.

The water level in well 9 rose about 2.6 feet during the year, and 

in well 11, about 8 feet.

Oklahoma County

Wells 1 to 4 in Oklahoma County tap water in approximately the same 

sands as the deep wells in Cleveland County, and they generally show the 

effects of changes in pumpage. Water levels in wells 1, 2, and 3 generally 

rise in spring and then decline to a minimum stage in autumn. In 1946 

they reached their highest levels for the year in March and April (fig. 12} 

and their lowest levels about the end of August, rising somewhat during 

the last 4 months. At the end of the year the water level in well 1 

was 1 foot higher than at the beginning, but in well 2 it was nearly 5 

feet lower and in well 3 it was about 15.5 feet lower. These figures 

suggest an appreciable decrease in ground-water storage that may be somewhat deceptive. The highest levels for the year are probably just as 

significant, and in 1946 these were intermediate between the peak levels 

for 1944 and 1945.

Water levels in alluvium and terrace deposits in Oklahoma County 

were lower at the end of 1946 than at the end of 1945. In four wells in 

the alluvium of the North Canadian River Valley, in the western part of 

Oklahoma City, the water levels declined an average of 0,49 foot during 

the year, and in three wells in terrace deposits near Bethany they declined an average of 1.31 feet.

In well 6, which taps water in alluvium, the water level rose 0.5 

foot between January and April, remained steady until June, and then 

declined 2.5 feet and to the lowest level for the year in September. 

During the last quarter it fluctuated between 7 and 8 feet below landsurface datum. In wells 7 and 8, also in alluvium, the fluctuations were 

similar except for a slow steady rise after September. In well 9 the water 

level reached its highest stage in February, declined until October, and 

then rose somewhat.

In well 10, which taps water In terrace deposits, the water level 

went up and down, each fluctuation being less than 0.25 foot, but with 

a gradual trend downward to the lowest level for the year recorded in 

December. In wells 11 and 12, also in terrace deposits, the water levels 

were rising at the beginning of the year and then declined to minimum 

stages at the end of the year.

McClain County

Well 1, in McClain County, fluctuated within a narrow range of 0.6 

foot during 1946, the highest level for the year being recorded on May 31 

and the lowest on August 30. The net change for the year was a rise of 

about 0.2 foot, but it may not be significant as the recorded fluctuations 

probably are due mainly to changes in barometric pressure. This well 

taps wate,r in the same sands as the deep wells in Cleveland and Oklahoma 

Counties. It is the only observation well in these sands not affected 

by nearby pumping, hence should show natural changes in ground-water 

storage, but in the 4 years beginning with 1943 the water level in it 

has remained nearly constant at about 84 feet below land-surface datum. 

This lack of persistent trend indicates that effects of recharge on the 

outcrop are not readily transmitted to the well.

North Canadian River Valley

Most of the observation wells along the North Canadian River Valley, 

between Yukon and Beaver, are close to the channel and respond to the 

stages in the river. They showed a net rise of 1.58 feet for the year.

At the beginning of the year water levels in these wells were relatively high or rising slowly. After April they declined until August, 

and then rose slowly, culminating in the high levels for the year following floods in October. After October, water levels in most of the wells 

declined somewhat with the exception of Harper County well 1 and Beaver 

County well 612, which are farther from the channel than most and continued to show rising water levels until the end of the year.
OKLAHOMA 93

Beaver County well 528, which was measured weekly throughout the 

year, confirms the general trends but gives details. The y/ater level rose 

from January until early March, remained steady during the last 5 weeks 

of March and then declined 2.54 feet between April and early August, ttt 

then rose abruptly to a peak on August 29, which was followed by several 

fluctuations until the high level for the year was reached on November 9. 

Through November and early December it declined again, but was rising 

gradually at the end of the year. The net change for the year was.a rise 

of 3.4 feet.

Canadian County

Most of the observation wells in Canadian, pounty tap water in the 

alluvium of the North Canadian River. Near the channel water levels rise 

promptly in response to floods while in wells distant from the channel 

ftiey may still be declining. Likewise, in the more distant wells they 

may- continue to rise due to local precipitation after the floods have 

passed and water levels near the channel have receded. In 1946 the observation wells showed considerable individuality, although the details 

of water-level fluctuations are obscured by the infrequency of the 

measurements. About mid-December the average of the water levels in 40 

wells was 0.5R foot below the average for mid-December 1945.

Stillwater Creek Basin

Payne County

Ten observation wells in the Stillwater Creek Basin were measured 

throughout the year, and the records of 8 of these are used in computing 

the average water level. As figure 13 illustrates, the average groundwater level follows fairly closely the curve for cumulative departure from 

average precipitation at Stillwater. The precipitation was rather heavy 

during the first half of the year, but fell off during the last half. 

Correspondingly, the average water level rose from January to March when 

the year's highest level was attained, then declined to the year's lowest 

level in October, and rose slightly in November and December. At the end 

of the year it was 1.17 feet lower than at the beginning, but nevertheless 

was 5 feet above the lowest level on record (September 1940). The average 

went neither as high nor as low as during 1945.

Tillman County

Precipitation in -Tillroan County through the first 3 months of 1946 

was nearly normal, and ground water was maintained at relatively high 

levels. In the latter part of March the well at the Southwestern Cotton 

Substation was pumped 97.25 hours at an estimated rate of 180 gallons per 

minute, to produce about 1,050,000 gallons of water for irrigation. This 

withdrawal caused an immediate decline in the water level during pumping, 

but afterward the water level recovered, and at the end of the month the 

static level was less than 0.5 foot lower than when pumping began. During 

the first week in April the well was again pumped to yield about 583,000 

gallons, the water level declining during pumping but rising afterward to 

within 0.25 foot of the starting level.

Lack of rain prior to April 22 caused a slight natural decline of 

water level in the latter part of the month, continuing until rains late 

in May resulted in a rise to a low peak recorded on June 3. Low precipitation in June brought a decline of more than 0.5 foot for the month, 

which was accelerated by dry weather in July until, on July 22, the water 

level was almost 3 feet lower than at the beginning of 1946. The well was 

pumped July 24-August 1 and August 14-18, sometimes as much as 24 hours 

per day, a total of 3,272,000 gallons of water being withdrawn. Rains 

near the end of August initiated an upward trend that was sustained by 

nearly normal precipitation through the last 4 months of the year. With 

diminishing evaporation and transpiration during these months, recharge 

was appreciable, but at the end of 1946 the water level was about 1.75 feet 

lower than at the beginning.

Although the trend of the water level both before and after the 

periods of pumping was downward, the decline does not appear to have been 

accelerated by the withdrawals which totaled about 4,905,000 gallons of 

water. Instead,' the decline after pumping is a continuation of the trend 

that set in before pumping was begun, indicating that it was due mainly to 

the natural losses by evaporation, transpiration, and discharge from 

springs and into streams.

Bills County

Ellis County, in northwestern Oklahoma, is bounded on the west by 

the State of Texas and on the south by the Canadian River. Other boundaries separating it from Beaver, Harper, Woodward, and Dewey Counties 

follow township lines.

Ellis County is mostly in the Plains Border section of the Great 

Plains, but partly also in the Osage Plains section of the Central Lowland. 

Wolf Creek flows diagonally northeastward across the northern part, and 

as it and the Canadian River have few tributaries, the county contains 

large areas of nearly undissected, gently undulating upland plains. Thus 

in topography Ellis County more closely resembles the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas than it resembles counties farther east in Oklahoma. This 

resemblance extends also to the geology and ground-water hydrology. Most 

of Ellis County is underlain by late Tertiary and Quaternary sand, gravel, 

and clay, equal in part, to the Ogallala of Pliocene age, and, in part, 

possibly of Pleistocene age. These sediments contain considerable water 

of good quality, mostly under water-table conditions. In a wide band 

along Canadian River and along part of Wolf Creek, sand dunes overlie the 

late Tertiary sediments. Although the dunes appear to contain little 

ground water, they are permeable and a relatively large proportion of the 

precipitation that falls on them percolates downward and may ultimately 

reach the water table in the underlying rocks.

Permian red bee's crop out along the Canadian River and also in the 

extreme northern part of the county. They consist mainly of shales and 

very fine-grained sandstone and will yield only meager volumes of water 

inferior in quality to the water from overlying formations.

Water-level measurements were begun in two wells in the southern part 

of the county in May, and in two wells in the central part in July. Subsequent measurements were made in October and December. The record is too 

short to permit interpretation. In wells 1 and 2 the water levels declined 

slightly, whereas in well 3 the water level rose about 0.16 foot between 

July and October, and in well 4 it first declined and then rose.
OKLAHOMA 9-7

Cuater County

Custer County, in west-central Oklahoma, is nearly rectangular. 

Clinton is the largest town but Arapaho is the county seat. The Washita 

River enters the county near the middle of the western boundary, and leaves 

a little east of the middle of the southern boundary. The Canadian River 

cuts diagonally southeastward across the northeasternmost township. 

Dissection by these rivers and their tributaries has resulted in a rolling 

topography.

Sandstones of the Whitehorse formation crop out in a band about one 

township wide along the east side of the county and should yield moderate 

amounts of water in the outcrop area and to the westward under cover of 

younger formations. At considerable depth under the western part of the 

county, however, the water in these sandstones may be of poor quality.

The-Cloud Chief formation overlies the Whitehorse, contains much 

gypsum, and therefore yields poor water that is high in sulfates. Moderate 

supplies of water are to be found in the Quartermaster formation in the 

extreme southwestern part of the county. Little or no water is available 

in Cretaceous outliers of the western half of the county.

The alluvium along the Washita River contains abundant water, 

especially in gravel lenses, but, in general, this water is very hard and 

contains much calcium and magnesium sulfate and dissolved solids. Terrace 

deposits may contain water of better quality, although it is likely to be 

hard.

A 1^-inch driven well with a sand point was constructed in the 

alluvium of the Washita River east of Clinton in October. The water level 

is about 11 feet below land-surface datum, the maximum recorded fluctuation 

during the last quarter of 1946 being' only 0.07 foot.

Grady County

Grady County is in central Oklahoma and extends south from the 

Canadian River between Rs. 4 and 9 W. to the south line of T. 2 N. Its 

width is 24 miles, its average length from north to south about 46 miles," 

and its area about 1,105 square miles. Chickasha, in the west-central 

part, is the county seat and largest town.
98 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

Grady County lies within the Washita River drainage basin, with the 

exception of the extreme southwestern township, which drains southward 

into Red River, and a strip about 5 miles wide along the north side of 

the county, which drains into the Canadian River.

The Washita River is a perennial stream with heavy timber on the 

bottom lands, steep mud bsnks, and very little sand in the channel. It 

enters the county from the west, and in upstream areas crosses Permian 

red beds, which give the water a comparatively high mineral content- Two 

tributaries of the vVashita Little Washita River and Rush Creek are the 

only other perennial streams in the county.

The Rush Springs sandstone member of the Whitehorse formation, of 

Permian age, is the principal source of ground water, and underlies about 

eight townships in the western and southwestern part of the county. It 

is a fine-grained, friable, reddish-brown, cross-bedded to regular-bedded 

sandstone with a maximum thickness of about 250 feet. It contains water 

under water-table conditions, and probably, also under artesian conditions 

in some places.

Another potential source of ground water is the lower part of the 

Chickasha-Duncan formation (El Reno), of Permian age, consisting of 

deltaic sandstones. These beds contain water under artesian pressure, 

but are 30 fine-grained that wells in them yield only small quantities of 

water.

The alluvium of the Washita and Canadian Rivers is generally less 

than 0.5 mile wide and in many places narrows to only a few hundred feet. 

There are many ox-bow lakes on the flood plains, but these are usually 

dry except during wet seasons. Ground water in the alluvium is relatively 

abundant, but it is rather highly mineralized. Therefore, only a few stock 

wells have been drilled in these deposits.

The first terrace above the flood plain attains a maximum width of 

5 miles in some places, and the deposit underlying it contains considerable 

water, which, however, is hard and is affected by influent water from the 

river. Many water wells draw water from this terrace.

The next higher terrace is less extensive, but where it is thick 

enough and underlies a large area it contains water of good quality. The 

Chickasha airport and many farms are supplied with water from these deposits.

100 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

Gravels on the drainage divides represent a higher and older terrace, 

but they are too thin, and too much dissected by erosion to constitute an 

aquifer. The alluvium along the small streams, in places 35 feet thick, 

contains a moderate volume of water of fair quality.

At the beginning of 1946, monthly measurements were being made in six 

observation wells in the Rush Springs sandstone, six wells were added in 

April, and one in May. From January through April the water levels in 5 

wells declined an average of 0.26 foot, and from April through June the 

average of the water levels in 11 wells rose 0.48 foot. From July through 

October the water levels in wells far from the outcrop rose, but this rise 

was offset by a sharp decline in water levels in wells close to the outcrop, and the net change was a drop of 0.83 foot (fig. 14). In November, 

water levels in all wells began to rise and at the end of December the 

average of the water levels in the original six wells stood 0.13 foot 

below the average for the same wells at the beginning of the year.

Although the records are too short to allow drawing conclusions about 

divergent trends in different wells, the net decline for 1946 probably 

is the result of below-normal rain in the latter part of the year.

A Itp-inch driven well with a sand point was installed in the alluvium 

of '.Vashita River east of Chickasha in December. The initial measurement 

showed a depth to water of 7.40 feet.

INTRODUCTION

A State-wide investigation of the ground-water resources of Texas has 

been in progress since 1929 in cooperation with the Texas State Board of 

Water Engineers. The more or less periodical measuring of the water levels 

and artesian pressures in selected observation wells has been part of the 

program from the start of the study. As the ground-water investigations 

were extended to new areas, the observation-well program was expanded to 

take in the new areas, especially if there was considerable pumpage or 

indication that the water level was declining. The water-level program 

covered all or parts of about 80 counties in 1940-41. Since then the program has been reduced to measurements in 42 counties in 1946. Most of this 

curtailment took place in 1942 after the entrance into World War II. During 1946, 3,233 measurements were made in 1,007 wells in 42 counties.

The water-level measurements made in connection with the program prior

to 1946 are published in iVater-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 909,

 

939, 947, 989, 1019, and 1026. Several mimeographed progress reports have

been issued which contain water-level measurements and discussions of the 

fluctuation of water levels in the Houston district and the High Plains 

irrigation area.

PRECIPITATION

For the purpose of summarizing climatological data, the United States 

Weather Bureau has divided Texas into three parts as follows: Eastern 

Division, comprising the area east of the 97th meridian; middle division, 

comprising the area between the 97th and 101st meridians; and the western 

division, comprising the area west of the 101st meridian.

The average yearly precipitation decreases from east to west ; most of 

the eastern division is humid or aemihumid, the 'western division is arid,

and the middle division lies between the two. The yearly precipitation at 

126
TEXAS 127

any given station varies widely. For example, at El Paso, in the extreme 

western part of the State, the average yearly precipitation from 1850 

through 1946 was 9.12 inches, but ranged from 21.81 inches in 1856 to 2.22 

inches in 1891.' In the eastern part of the State, in Newton County, at 

Bon Wier (the 1946 figures for nearby Kirbyville, in Jasper County., were 

used because the record for Bon Wier was incomplete for 1946), the average 

yearly precipitation from 1941 through 1946 was 56.94 inches, but ranged 

from 81.°2 inches in 1040 to 38.21 inches in 1925. A similar wide range 

occurs throughout the State.

According to the Weather Bureau's summary for the year 1945, the precipitation averaged considerably above normal in the eastern division, near 

normal in the middle division, and below normal in the western division. 

Annual amounts of precipitation ranged from 6.74 inches at El Paso, El 

Paso County, to 77.34.inches at Orfenge, Orange County. In 1946, the average 

precipitation was above normal in the eastern and middle divisions and 

below normal in the western division. The annual precipitation ranged from 

6.55 inches at Presidio, Presidio County, to 98.08 inches at Anahuac, 

Chambers County.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IM WATER LEVELS IH 1946 

BALCOKES FAULT ZONE

The observation wells in Eexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Kinney, Travis, 

Uvalde, Val Verde, and Williamson Counties are in the Balcones fault sone. 

Most of them draw water from reservoirs in the Edwards limestone, but a few 

draw from reservoirs in the Glen Rose limestone, Austin chalk, and shallow 

sands and gravels. Large springs near Comstock, Del Rio, Brackettville, 

San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and Austin are supplied by the 

Edwards limestone. The combined maximum recorded daily discharge from 

these seven springs is 1,200,000,000 gallons, and their average daily yield 

is about 550,000,000 gallons. The Edwards limestone supplies water to 

irrigation wells in Bexar and Uvalde Counties, to public and industrial 

wells in San Antonio, and to smaller cities, farms, and ranches.

During April 1946, water-level measurements were made in most of the 

wells and are discussed below by counties from Del Rio to San Antonio to 

Austin.
128 WATER LEVKLS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

Val Verde County. In one observation well, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level was 0.25 foot lower in April 1946 than it was 

in June 1945; the April 1946 level was the lowest recorded since measurements began in 1937. The records show a continued decline in water level 

since December 1942, which might be attributed, in part, to pumpage at the 

Army Air Base at Del Rio.

Klnney County. In eight observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level was higher in three wells and lower in five 

wells in April 1946 than in June 1945. The average water level showed a 

net decline of 1.00 foot. The water level in four of the wells was the 

lowest recorded since the measurements began in 1938. In five observation 

wells in the Austin chalk, the average decline in water level was 2.75 feet 

from June 1945 to April 1946. In four of these wells, the lowest level 

was observed since measurements began in 1937.

Uvalde -County.--In eight observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 3.78 to 20.81 feet and 

averaged 9.09 feet between June 1945 and April 1946. In five wells, the 

measurements made in April 1946 were the lowest recorded since 1932. In 

the three wells in the Austin chalk, the decline in water level for the 

same period ranged from 0.77 foot to 4.5 feet and averaged 2.84 feet.

Medina County. In six observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 7.66 to 16.17 feet and 

averaged 11.94 feet between June 1945 and April 1946.

Bexar County.--In five observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 5.29 to 7.28 feet and 

averaged 6.41 feet between June 1945 and April 1946. An automatic waterstage recorder has been maintained since 1932 on well 436 at Beverly Lodges 

Tourist Camp, in the northeastern part of San Antonio.

Guadalupe County. In one observation well, probably drawing from the 

Edwards limestone, the water level was 5.32 feet lower in March 1946 than 

it was in May 1945.

Comal.County. In 12 observation wells, drawing from the Edwards limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 2.0 to 11.5 feet and averaged 

5.6 feet between May 1945 and March 1946. There was a rise in water level 

in five of the nine wells drawing from the Glen Rose limestone, which ranged 

from 0.4 foot to 8.5 feet, and a decline in water level in four of the wells
TEXAS 129

which ranged from 6.5 to 95.3 feet between May 1945 and March 1946. For 

the same period, the water level in two wells drawing from the Pearsall 

formation declined 14.4 and 25,2-feet, respectively. Most of the observation wells In the Pearsall formation are now cased and the water level 

in them may be affected by the water In the higher horizons.

Hays County. In seven observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 1.4 to 7.4 feet and 

averaged 3.4 feet between May 1945 and March 1946. For the same period, 

the water level In 10 wells, drawing from the Glen Rose limestone, rose 

from 0.1 foot to 21.1 feet.and averaged 4.2 feet. In three v;ells, drawing 

most if not all water from the Pearsall formation, the water level rose from 

1.0 foot to 13.9 feet between May 1945 and March 1946. In one well In the 

Austin chalk, for which there are comparable measurements for 7 months of 

the preceding year, the water level was 1.1 feet lower In February 1946 than 

It was in the same month in 1945, However, for the remainder of the year 

the water level rose gradually and at the end of the year It was 3.0 feet 

higher than It was at the beginning of the year.

Travls County. In 16 observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline In water level ranged from 3.7 to 17.2 feet and 

averaged 12.6 feet between May 1945 and March 1946. In one observation 

well, drawing from the Glen Rose limestone, In which monthly measurements 

were made, the. water level during 1946 fluctuated 2.9 feet; the higher 

water level occurred during April and November-December periods. In two 

observation wells, drawing from the Austin chalk, in which monthly measurements were made, the water level during 1946 fluctuated 10.4 feet In one 

and 13.1 feet In the other. The higher water level occurred during the 

April May and November December periods.

Wllllamson County. In six observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the decline in water level ranged from 1.5 to 15.9 feet and 

averaged 10.2 feet between May 1945 and March 1946.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimmlt and Zavala Counties; the Winter Garden district. Pumping for 

the Irrigation of vegetables and, In more recent years, citrus fruits, feed 

crops and cotton, has been In progress for about 30 years. About 20,000 

acres was Irrigated In 1937-38 according to an Inventory of Irrigation
130 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

wells and acreage irrigated at that time. No Inventory has been made since 

1937-38, but It Is estimated that the pumpage and the number of acres 

irrigated have probably doubled. All of the irrigation wells draw from 

the Carrlzo sand which crops out In western Dimralt County, eastern Maverick 

County, and western and northern Zavala County.

During the period of record, the largest decline In water level has 

taken place from 1941 to 1947. In the heavily pumped district east of 

Crystal City, the water level has declined from 55 to 75 feet during this 

period. During the same period, large declines In water level In other 

districts of the Winter Garden were as follows: La Pryor, two wells, 36 

and 42.7 feet; Winter Haven, two wells, 21.2 and 50.5 feet; Carrizo Springs, 

two wells, 27.2 and 56.6 feet; Asherton, three wells, 17.6, 34.9, and 35.0 

feet; Catarlna, 6 wells, 10.1 to 44.2 feet and averaging 20.4 feet; Big 

Wells, two wells, 21.1 and 22.2 feet. Wells In the outcrop area showed 

much smaller declines.

Thirty observation wells, which draw from the Carrlzo sand In the Winter Garden district In Dimralt and Zavala Counties, have comparable measurements which were made In July of 1945 and 1946. The following discussion 

gives the rise or decline in water level between July 1945 and July 1946. 

In 14 wells in the heavily pumped areas, the decline In water level 

ranged from 0.6 foot to 15.3 feet, or an average decline of 6.9 feet per 

well. In six observation wells In the more lightly pumped areas, the 

maximum decline in water level recorded was 2.1 feet while the maximum 

rise in water level was 2.3 feet, or a net average decline of 0.5 foot per 

well.

In three observation wells in the Big Wells area, the water level rose 

from 3.4 to 5.1 feet, or an average rise of 4.4 feet per well. In seven 

observation wells In the outcrop areas of the Carrlzo sand, the water level 

showed very little change; the maximum decline was 1.3 feet and the maximum rise was 0.5 foot, a net average rise of 0.2 foot per well.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Both surface and ground water are used to Irrigate rice in Wharton, 

Jackson, and Matagorda Counties. The number of acres Irrigated has bean 

Increasing since 1935, the rate of increase being greater since about 1940.
TEXAS 131

The average rainfall at four Weather Bureau stations in the three 

counties for the months of April through July was 14.37 inches in 1945 

and 19.63 inches in 1946. It is estimated that the pumpage for rice irrigation was about the same in 1945 and 1946; the increase in rainfall during 

the growing season of 1946, amounting to 5.26 inches, offset the amount of 

pumped water required for irrigation. Although the acreage irrigated in 

1946 increased, it probably did not require any more pumped water in 1946 

than it did in 1945. Water levels reach their maximum recovery from the 

effect of the previous seasons pumping in the spring before the start of 

pumping for irrigation of the crop of the current season. Thus, the spring 

measurements are used for comparing the stage of the water level in the 

irrigation wells from year to year.

Wharton County. In 20 observation wells of various depths and drawing 

from one to several sands, there was an average net decline in water level 

of 0.13 foot between 1945 and 1946; in 8 wells the rise in water level 

ranged from 0.24 foot to 2.40 feet, while in 12 wells the decline ranged 

from 0.04 foot to 1.68 feet. In 13 wells in which comparable measurements 

were made in 1938 and 1946, there was an average net rise of 0.49 foot; in 

7 wells there was a decline which ranged from 0.16 foot to 5.39 feet, while 

in the other 6 wells, the rise ranged from 0.77 foot to 10.38 feet. Between 1943 and 1946, the water level in 20 wells declined on the average 

of 0.69 foot. Of the 20 wells, the water level in 5 rose from 0.13 foot to 

5.38 feet, while 15 declined from 0.13 foot to 9.14 feet.

Jackson County. In 21 observation wells of various depths and drawing 

from one to several sands, the water level in 20 wells declined from 0.27 

foot to 3.65 feet and averaged 1.24 feet between 1945 and 1946. In 14 

wells, for which comparable measurements are available for 1938 and 1946, 

there was an average net decline of 1.24 feet. Of these wells, the water 

level rose 0.03 foot to 1.01 feet in 5 wells, while it declined from 0.40 

foot to 5.02 feet in 9 wells. In 19 wells, with comparable measurements 

for 1943 and 1946, there was an average net decline in water level of 1.35 

feet.

Matagorda County. In one of three observation wells from 326 to 590 

feet deep, the water level rose 0.15 foot while in the other two it declined 

0.39 foot and 1.05 feet, respectively, from 1945 to 1946. The water level 

in the same wells declined an average of 9.67 feet between 1938 and 1946.

Houston district. The industrial and city wells in or near Houston 

and the rice irrigation wells of the Katy rice area draw water from sands 

whose outcrop area lies west, northwest, and north of Houston, in Harris, 

Fort Bend, Waller, and Montgomery Counties. About 235 observation wells 

in the Houston district are measured periodically at intervals varying 

from one month to one year. The district is divided into three general 

areas designated as (l) the Houston-Pasadena area, (2) the Katy rice-growing 

area, and (3) the outcrop area of the water-bearing sands which supply the 

water.

The following table gives the estimated average quantities of water, 

in millions of gallons a day, withdrawn by wells in the Houston, Pasadena, 

and Katy pumping areas in 1930, 1935, 1937, and 1939 to 1946, inclusive.

a -The rice wells are pumped only during the rice-growing season from 

April to August, and the puir.page in the Houston and Pasadena areas, 

although continuous, is much heavier in the summer than it is during the 

remainder of the year. For convenience, the withdrawals are given as 

daily averages for the entire year.

Houston and Pasadena areas. As shown in the preceding table, the 

pumpage was about constant from 1930 through 1935 and from 1937 through 

1941 and then increased yearly through 1946. In August 1945, at the end 

of the war, several plants that had been producing war goods were shut 

down or curtailed production which reflected a corresponding decrease in 

pumpage. In the observation wells that are screened opposite the heavily 

pumped sands at Houston and Pasadena and in the area west of Houston, the 

average decline in water level for the spring of 1942 and the spring of 

1Q45 was 27.5 feet. The largest average decline, amounting to 39 feet in 

22 observation wells, occurred in the eastern Houston and Pasadena areas, 

where the increase in pumping had been the heaviest. As a result of the
TEXAS 133

decrease in pumping in the fall and winter of 1945-46, the water level declined only a small amount in 10 wells and rose considerably in 12 wells 

between the spring measurements in 1945 and 1946. The average net change 

in the 22 wells indicated a rise of 2.0 feet. The net average decline for 

the 22 wells in this area, therefore, amounted to 37 feet between 1942 and 

1946. In the northern, central, and western parts of Houston, and in the 

locality west of the city, there was an average decline in water level of 

7.5 feet between the spring measurements of 1945 and 1946, as compared to 

an average decline of 5.5 feet during the corresponding period of 1944-45. 

In the locality north of Houston, the water level had an average decline 

of 5.2 feet between 1945 and 1946, as compared with 4.2 feet between 1944 

and 1°45. Therefore, although there was some recovery during 1945-46 in 

the deeper parts of the cone of depression centering around Pasadena, the 

water level in the surrounding areas along the periphery of the cone continued to drop and the cone continued to expand. With renewal of pumping 

activity in 1946, resulting in an all-time record-breaking average pumpage 

of 119 million gallons a day, the decline in water level has been resumed 

at an accelerated rate and the spring measurements of 1947 are expected to 

be the lowest on record for the Houston-Pasadena area.

In the observation wells in the Houston-Pasadena area that are screened 

opposite the comparatively shallow (usually 400 feet or less), lightly 

pumped sands, the decline in water level continued during 1942-46, but at 

a considerably slower rate than the decline in wells in the deeper, more 

heavily pumped sands. In five representative wells, the declines between 

spring measurements in 1942 and 1946 ranged from 2.7 to 17.4 feet and 

averaged 11.8 feet. The decline by years occurred as follows: 1942-43, 

1.8 feet; 1943-44, 3.9 feet; 1944-45, 3.8 feet; 1945-46, 2.3 feet. In 

three wells for which comparable measurements are available, the declines 

from 1931 to 1946 were 21.7, 29.9, and 31.1 feet.

In the Katy rice-growing area it is estimated that 37,530 acres was 

irrigated in 1946, as compared with 34,230 acres in 1945, 31,740 acres in 

1944, 24,200 acres in 1940, 13,740 acres in 1937, and 8,000 acres in 1935. 

As shown by spring measurements, the water levels in observation wells in 

the Katy rice-growing area declined slowly but persistently from 1931-41. 

The maximum decline for the 10-year period was 20.3 feet, the minimum 5.4 

feet, and the average 11.3 feet in the 12 wells for which comparable records
134 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

are available. This was at the average rate of 1.1 feet a year. Between 

the spring of 1941 and the spring of 1942, the water levels in 44 observation wells showed an average rise of 2.1 feet, because of the small demands for irrigation in 1941 and the unusually large amount of recharge 

from the heavy rains of November 1940 to October 31, 1941. In 1942-43 

little net change occurred, some wells showing a slight decline and others 

a slight rise. Prom the spring of 1943 to the spring of 1946, an average 

decline of 3.5 feet was recorded, of which 1.6 feet occurred in 1943-44, 

1.4 feet in 1944-45, and 0.5 foot in 1945-46. For the 15-year period from 

1931 to 1946 the ll wells for which comparable measurements are available 

showed an average decline of 13.6 feet.

Prom 1941 to the summer of 1946, the water level in the water-table 

wells in the outcrop area of the water-bearing sands, north and northwest 

of Houston, was from 5 to 10 feet higher than in 1938-40, and in the few 

wells for which comparable measurements are available the water level was 

as high or higher than in 1931-34. In localities affected by pumpage from 

nearby rice-irrigation wells, the water level declined from 5 to 15 feet 

during each pumping season but recovered during the winter. The water 

level, in general, continued to rise during the spring and early summer of 

1946 as a result of the above-average rainfall during that period and the 

delay in the start of heavy pumping for rice irrigation. Available data 

indicate that during the period of record more water has been contributed 

to storage in the outcrop area that has moved down the dip toward the 

pumped areas. A large part of the recharge occurred during the abnormally 

wet year November 1940 to October 1941, and during periods of above-average 

rainfall in 1945 and the spring of 1946.

Water level in wells in the Bammel gas field area, about 18 miles 

north-northwest of Houston, has returned to a normal stage following an 

abnormal rise which began in December 1942 and continued for several months. 

The rise was caused by the escape of large quantities of gas into the waterbearing sands.

Galveston County. The water level in most of the observation wells 

throughout Galveston County has declined persistently for a number of years 

because of the continued heavy pumping in the Texas City industrial area 

and in the Alta Loma well field of the city of Galveston. The rate of decline has decreased since 1944, and in Texas City it has become almost
TEXAS 135

stationary for the past year as the cone of depression has become flatter 

and larger each year.

HIGH PLAINS

In the High Plains of Texas, most of the irrigation wells are in the 

following 16 counties: Deaf Smith, Randall, Armstrong, Farmer, Castro, 

Swisher, Briscoe, Eailey, Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Hockley, Lubbock, Crosby, 

Terry, and Lynn.

Irrigation from wells in this region was started near Plainview, Hale 

County, in 1911. By 1914, about 140 irrigation wells had been drilled in 

the three principal districts near Plainview, Hereford, and Muleshoe. 

In the 7 years from 1919 to 1926, the rainfall in most of the region was 

above average and comparatively little irrigation was practiced. Interest 

was revived during a period of several years of low rainfall that began in 

1P27, and, according to the available records, 296 wells were pumped to 

irrigate about 35,000 acres in 1934. Since that time, the development has 

grown by leaps and bounds, and it is estimated that 2,180 wells were 

pumped to irrigate 250,000 acres in 1940, 4,300 wells were pumped to 

irrigate about 550,000 acres in 1945, and 5,500 wells were pumped to 

irrigate 650,000 acres in 1946.

Since 1937 water-level measurements have been made periodically in 

several hundred observation wells in the High Plains. Some of these wells 

are used for irrigation, some for domestic purposes and stock, and some are 

unused. Until 1940 measurements were made for the most part at intervals 

of 1 to 3 months. It has been found, however, that the most dependable 

information regarding net annual losses from or additions to storage in 

the ground-water reservoirs in the pumping districts and closely adjacent 

territory can be obtained by comparing water-level measurements made in 

successive years in the late winter or early spring before irrigation has 

been started. Therefore, the measurements at other times during the year 

have been dropped, but the late winter and spring measurements are made 

each year.

The following table gives a summary, by counties, of the average net 

changes in water level between the spring of March 1938 and February 1946 

in 208 observation wells in the irrigated areas for which comparable measurements are available.
