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 vorume each year through 1939, Beginning with 1940 the 

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

southeastern, north-central, aouth-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 1,340 observation wella of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies In Arkansas, Louisiana, 

Oklahoma, and Texas. Of these wells, 28 are equipped with automatic waterstage 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 reportThe 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 4,360 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 wella were given In feet a.bove or below the measuring points and for other wells In feet above or below sea level or above 

or below variqus 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
INTRODUCTION d

1943, however, It was decided that uniform practice should be 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.

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

covered by the six water-supply papers .on water levels and artesian 

pressure in observation wells in 1945- The shaded section represents 

the part of the country covered by this volume.

If the water levels or artesian heads are referred to land-surface datum 

for t'he first time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter 

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 

plane, 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
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

because the fluctuations of water level In them are 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 1945 the network 

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 1945 in the south-central part of the

United States

In 1945 the precipitation in three of the four States in the southcentral section of the country was above normal and the water levels rose 

in many wells of the section. In Texas precipitation for the year was 

slightly below normal. 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 groundwater level is given in the chapter for each State.

ARKANSAS 

GRAND PRAIRIE REGION

By R. C. Baker /

PROGRAM OP WORK

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

region of Arkansas were made in the spring of 1945 in cooperation with 

the State Agricultural Experiment Station and the Federal Land Bank of St. 

Louis. The measurements were made by Professor Kyle Engler, assisted by 

Mr. E. A. Gillman. Measurements of water levels" in the Grand Prairie region 

have been made for 19 successive years. The first measurements were 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 the 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 groundywater resources of the region, 

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

!/

general 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.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level in the wells in the region dre 

caused by several factors. The changes are' In part caused by differences

6 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

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 in this paper 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 levels 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 first, then decreasing. Local differences in water 

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

levels rise, fairly rapid 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 measured in the fall of 1945,

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.

PROGRAM OF WORK

. The observation-well 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 the cooperation.

Observations of water level were made In 254 key wells In 28 parishes 

In 1945, In which a total of 1,050 Individual measurements was made. 

Automatic water-stage recorders were In operation on 23 wells for at least 

a part of the year, enabling more reliable Interpretation of measured waterlevel fluctuations. Of these recorders, 16 were of the weekly type and 7 

were of the continuous type.

Measurements were made at monthly Intervals In 106 wells, at weekly 

Intervals In 12 wells, and the remainder were measured 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-6j at Norco, 

which were obtained through the cooperation of J. L. Davles, of the Shell 

Oil Company.

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

primarily directed toward solution of 'the' Industrial water-supply problems 

at Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. During the latter part of the year the 

focus of investigations shifted to the rice-farming area of southwestern 

Louisiana, where an intensive observation-well program was begun. A 

progress report on ground-water conditions at Baton Rouge was published, 

in July.

* FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Northern Louiaiana.--Investigations were begun in the Springhill area, 

in Webster Parish, and automatic water-stage recorders were installed on 

two unused wells of the International Paper Co., Southern Kraft Division, 

at the Cullen mill, which requires up to 20 million gallons of ground water 

each day. Investigations were resumed and intensified in the Bastrop area, 

in Morehouse Parish, and continuous recorders were installed on two unused 

wells of the International Psper Company, Southern Krsft Division at the 

Louiaiana mill. Ground-water conditions at both Springhill and Bastrop 

are critical, and no alternative supply appears to be available.

Observations of water level were begun in one unused well of the 

Southern Advance Bag & Paper Co., at Hodge, and a continuous recorder was 

Installed on the well in June. The records for the last 6 months of 1945 

show a gradual rise of water level in this well from 97 feet to 76.2 feet 

below land-surface datum.

Central Louisiana. During 1945 a total of 72 measurements of water 

level was made in 19 wells in Natchitoches, Grant, LaSalle, and Rapides 

Parishes. With the end of the war the intensity of ground-water studies 

in the U. S. Army cantonments in Rapides Parish was greatly reduced. In 

the Natchitoches ares a pressure head decline of 9.S feet from 1944 was 

apparent in one well which taps a Wilcox sand that supplies about one-third 

of the public water-supply of the city. Since the observation well was 

completed, in January 1944, the pressure head has declined from 38.5 feet 

above the land surface to 23.3 feet above that datum. At Pishville, in 

Grant Parish, the recorded pressure head of a well 397 feet deep has ranged 

from 3.]9feet to 0.92 foot above land-surface datum in the past 7 years, 

the lowest head being recorded in 1945. Observation wells at Camp Claiborne, 

in Rapides Parish, screened in Pleistocene sands and gravels at a depth 

less than 200 fset showed a decline of less than 2 feet from the 1944 

levels and a total decline of less than 20 feet from original static 

levels. The entire camp water supply, a maximum of about 4 million gallons 

a day, is obtained from wells which tap this source. Wells in the Alexandria area which tap the "HOO-foot" sand, the principal aquifer, showed a 

marked recovery in most of the area, as indicated by the hydrographs, 

figure 4 . For the first time on record the downward trend has been

checked. Reduced demand from municipal wells in the urban area, made 

possible by completion of Bayou Rapidea well field outside the city, is 

probably the most important .factor influencing the trend.

Southwestern Louisiana. During 1945, 728 measuremeirts were made in 

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

program in this area has been broadenedin scope to enable preparation of 

piezometric naps of water in the Pleistocene sands and gravels which supply 

water to irrigate about 45 percent of the rice acreage of this area about 

250,000 acres. Figure 3 is a piezometric map based upon water-level 

measurements in observation wells in December 1945. Precipitation during , 

the rice-growing season this year was very near the average of a 55-year 

record, except in July which was wetter that the average. Water levels 

in key wells continued a decline begun in 1943, however, because of increased 

acreage under irrigation. This required greater withdrawals and resulted 

in failure of levels to recover fully during the winter and spring months. 

The hydrographa, figure 7, illustrate the trend.

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

Charles industrial area were the lowest on record in August of this year. 

This was largely the result of increaa«d withdrawals from wells at the new 

Cities Service Co. refinery and butadiene plant, and the Firestone Tire & 

Rubber Co. plant. Levels in the "700-foot" sand, which is tapped by fewer 

industrial wells but supplies the entire municipal needs of the city, 

showed a gradual decline during the summer months. At no time during the 

yaar were levels.as low as in the previous 2 years. See figure 6. 

Water levels in the ''200-foot11 sand in the Lake Charles area, which is 

tapped by two large industrial wells, had apparently reached near-equilibrium 

in 1945.

Automatic water-stage recorders were operated on eight wells in southwestern Louisiana in 1945; six of these were on wells in the Lake Charles 

area, one was on a well at Elizabeth, in Alien Parish, and one was on a 

well near Sroussard, in Lafayette Parish.

Southeastern Louisiana. The observation-well program in southeastern 

Louisiana was reduced in intensity but not in scope in 1945. A total of 

246 measurements was made in 66 wells in 9 parishes, and automatic waterstage recorders were operated on 8 wells in East Baton Rouge Parish, 1

well in St. Charles Parish, and 1 well in Tangipahoa Parish. The empha,sis 

was upon the study in the Baton Rouge area, as in previous years, and 201 

measurements were made in 59 wells in East Baton Rouge Parish.

In the spring months water levels in wells which tap the "A-l" and ' 

"A-2" sands in the Baton Rouge area showed a rise of as much as 70 feet 

from levels of the previous spring, largely as a result of the reduction 

in withdrawals from wells of the Ethyl Corporation made possible by completion of a large river-water clarification plant. The recove'ry of"water 

levels in key wells which tap those sands is graphically illustrated in 

figure 8. Recovery of water levels also occurred in the deep wells which 

tap sands of the "B" and "C" sand zones in the Baton Rouge area, as illustrated by figure 5. The "A-l" and "A-2" sands are commonly referred to 

as the "400-foot" and "600-foot" sands; the "B" sand zone occurs between 

depths of 1,200 and 1,700 feet in the Baton Rouge area, and the "C" sand 

zone occurs below a depth of 1,700 feet. The total ground-water requirements in the industrial district were considerably reduced when production 

was curtailed at the end of the v«ar, and at least a temporary respite from 

critical ground-water conditions was enjoyed by industrial water users.

Artesian pressures in key wells in the flowing-well area of southeastern Louisiana showed little change from previous years, largely because 

precipitation was at or above normal during the strawberry growing season.

Records for a key well 404 feet deep, at the Shell Oil Co., Norco-Refinery, near New Orleans, showed a continued decline of 2.75 feet a year, 

based on average weekly water levels.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in Oklahoma was continued in 1945 in 

cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College as part of the investigation of the groundwater resources of the State.

The program was started in the Stillwater Creek Basin in cooperation 

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

Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Stillwater. Dr. M. J. Plice, also 

of the Department of Agronomy, has made the measurements since 1940, and 

continued to do this work in 1945. Measurements in the irrigation well at 

the Southwestern Cotton Substation, near Tipton, started in 1944, were 

continued during 19.45, 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 remainder of 

the observation-well program was conducted in cooperation with the 

Oklahoma Geological Survey. It includes measurements of wells in Beaver, 

Cimarron, and Texas Counties (the Panhandle) begun in 1937; in Cleveland 

County, begun in 1939; in Biaine, Canadian, Harper, Ma,1or, and Woodward 

Counties (the North Canadian River Valley), begun in 1940; in Oklahoma 

County, begun in 1943; and in Caddo County, begun in 1945.

The location of the observation wells is shown in figure 9.

Brief descriptions of the topography and geology of the parts of the 

State covered by the well-measurement program and their relation to the 

ground-water conditions in these areas have been published by the Geological- Survey as follows: Stillwater Creek Basin, in Water-Supply Paper 777; 

the Panhandle, in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845; Cleveland County, in 

Water-Supply Papers 886 and 939; the North Canadian River Valley, in WaterSupply Paper 909; Oklahoma County, in Water-Supply Paper 989 and this

report; TiHman County In Water-Supply Paper 1019; and Caddo County In this 

report.

During the year 1,085 measurements were made In 168 wells, and 2 

additional wells were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. Nine 

wells were dropped from the program and seven were added. The wells in 

the Panhandle were measured semiannually, except for Beaver 528 which was 

measured weekly, as were the Cleveland County wells and the Tillman County 

well. The Oklahoma, Caddo, McClain, and i'ayne County wells were measured 

monthly. The North Canadian River Valley wells were measured five times 

during the year, and the Canadian County wells three times, except for 

the wells north of Yukon which, during the last half of the year, were 

measured monthly.

During 1945, as In 1944, the county surveys were greatly slowed because of the continued press of military, municipal, and industrial problems due to the*war. After V-J day, such problems Increased rather than 

diminished, mostly because of the deferred maintenance problems of municipal supplies. Among such areas studied during the year were Tipton, Langston, Hennessey, Erick, Duncan, and others. At the beginning of the year, 

the Water Resources Branch of the Geological Survey finished Its studies 

of the general water resources of the State, In cooperation with the 

Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board, with the publication by the Oklahoma 

Planning and Resources Board of a report entitled "Oklahoma Water". The 

Herman office prepared the section on ground water.

In the latter half of the year, an investigation of the water resources of the Rush Springs sandstone of southwestern Oklahoma was started, 

work generally being confined to Grady and Caddo Counties.

PRECIPITATION

According to the 1945 annual summary of the U. S. Weather Bureau, 

the average precipitation In Oklahoma for 1945 was 41.89 Inches, which Is 

8,99 inches above the 54-year average. However, the distribution was not 

even over the entire State, the central and eastern portions receiving 

excessive amourlts bvit the western portion received below normal amounts.

Precipitation in the Panhandle ranged from 11.62 Inches at Boise City 

to 18.52 Inches at B.eaver, averaging 15.28 Inches, about 2.3 Inches below 

normal.
68 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

For nine stations along the North Canadian River Valley, frcm 

Oklahoma City 'to Supply, the average precipitation was 28.33 inches, about 

1.4 inches above normal.

The precipitation at Norman, in Cleveland County was more than 45 

inches, which was more than 12-J inches above normal. In Payne County, 

at Stillwater, it was 34.03 inches, which was 0.68 inch above normal; and 

at Anadarko, in Caddo County, it was 42.38 inches, which was 14.98 inches 

above normal.

PUMPAGE 

Panhandle

The amount of water pumped from wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle during 

1945 is estimated to be about 1,700 acre-feet, divided as follows: Beaver 

County, 350 acre-feet, Texas County, 1,160 acre-feet, and Clmarron County, 

190 acre-feet. Most of this increase over last year's figures is due to 

increased pumpage from municipal wells, caused by increased population in 

the cities and also the extremely dry summer and fall.

Cleveland County

Pumpage from the "Norman water sands" in Cleveland County, estimated 

at more than 5 million gallons a day during 1944, continued at this rate 

with seasonal variations throughout most of the year. Reduction in 

activities at the naval bases resulted in a slight decrease in pumpage in 

the last several months. However, two new supply wells, drilled north of 

the Naval Air Station were put into service during the early part of the 

year, spreading the area of concentrated pumpage out and shifting the 

center of pumpage further north where the sands are thicker and more permeable. These new wells permitted the shutting down of the old wells in 

the City Park, with a resultant rise in water level in the city area.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Panhandle

In the three Panhandle counties Beaver, Texas, ana (fimarron the water 

levels in the Ogallala formation, the most important aquifer In the area, 

continued the general rise started in 1941 and set new highs for the period 

of record. Compared to the October 1944 levels (the previous high on 

record) the October 1945 average water level in Beaver County was 0.34 foot

higher, In Texas County, 0.58 foot higher, and in Cimarron County, it was 

0.75 foot higher. The greatest rise during the period of record occurred 

in Cimarron County, where the droughts of the thirties were most severe, 

and serves to indicate to some extent the effect these droughts had on the 

water table.

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

County, in October 1945, was the highest recorded for this group of wells, 

being 0.12 foot higher than in October 1944, when the previous high was 

recorded. However, in Texas County, the water level in the one redbed well 

measured in October 19-i5 was the lowest ever recorded and was 0.29 foot 

lower than in October 1944 and 0.18 foot lower than the previous lowest 

recorded level, which occurred in both June 1941 and April 1942.

The water levels in the shallow wells tapping the alluvium of the 

streams were relatively high during May 1945 but the October 1945 measurements showed an average decline of 1.73 feet since May.

Because of the relatively large rise of the water level in the Ogellala 

formation, the weighted average water level of all the observation wells in 

the Panhandle, in October 1P45, was 0.51 foot higher than the level in 

October 1944, and is the highest stage recorded since measurements began 

in 1937.

The following tables, which summarize these data, present for comparison the average water level in October 1944 and in May and October 

1945 for each of eight groups of wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle, and the 

net change for each group from October 1944 to October 1945. The second 

table shows the weighted average water levels by counties and for the 

Panhandle as a whole. These tables serve to continue the record of averages 

given in similar tables in earlier water-supply papers. An asterisk indicates 

that the water level is the highest observed during the period of record.

Caddo County

Measurements In the Caddo County observation well were started In 

August 1945. This well taps the Rush Springs sandstone, one of the major 

potential aquifers in western Oklahoma. The Rush Springs sandstone consists almost entirely of red cross-bedded, poorly cemented sandstone. It 

crops out over a large area of the Anadarko basin In west-central Oklahoma 

and, in some places, Is 350 feet thick.

The water level In the well, measured approximately monthly, showed 

a continuous rise during the latter part of the year, In response to the 

heavy precipitation in the area, and on December 4, 1945, was 0.59 foot 

higher than on August 21.

Cleveland County

The observation-well program In Cleveland County, begun in 1937, was 

continued In 1945. At the end of the year there were 10 wells being 

regularly observed, 2 of which were added during the year. All but one 

are deep artesian wells that tap the "Norman water sand," and the other, 

Cleveland County well 1, is a shallow dug well on a high terrace of the 

Canadian River.

The terrace In which Cleveland County well 1 Is located is small and 

there Is no pumpage of any magnitude from It. Thus, it reflects the 

natural change of the water table due to precipitation and evaporation 

and transpiration losses. During the first 2 months of 1945, the water
72 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

level varied little, but during March, in response to heavy precipitation, 

the water level rose about 4 feet. Further precipitation during April, 

May, June, and July caused similar but smaller rises with succeeding declines during the dry parts of the months until, on Jufy 11, the water 

level reached the highest stage of the year, only 0.83 foot lower than 

the highest stage of record which occurred on June 7, 1941. From the 

July 11 high the water level declined through the remainder of July and 

through August and most of September until, on September 24, it was 5.64 

feet lower than on July 11. Heavy rains caused a rise of a little leas 

than 2 feet during the remainder of the month, from which it gradually 

declined during the rest of the year. At the end of the year the water 

level was 2.01 feet higher than at the end of 1944.

Well 4, In the City- Park, rose more than 30 feet during the year, and 

well 10, at the University of Oklahoma, about three-quarters of a mile 

farther south, rose more than 27 feet. The water level in well 5, which 

is 5§ miles east of Norman, rose during the early part of the year in 

response to decreased pumpage and the shift in the center of pumpage, then 

declined during the summer months but rose again during the fall and winter 

until, at the end of the year," the water level was almost 3 feet higher 

than at the beginning. In well 6, about 5-g miles southeast of Norman, 

the fluctuations in water level followed a pattern similar to that in well 

5, and at the end of the year the water level was also almost 3 feet higher 

than at the beginning.

However, in well 12, about 3 miles west of the new city wells, the water 

level declined during most of the year, reflecting the expansion of the 

cones of depression of the new wells, and on December 28, 1945, it was 

8.25 feet lower than on March 27, 1945, when measurements were started. 

Well 13, in the West Moore oil field, about 8 miles northwest of Norman, 

also showed a decline of water level in the period of measurement, declining 3.20 feet from September 24 to December 28, 1945. This decline is due 

to nearby pumpage in the oil field where drilling has been active during 

the year.
OKLAHOMA 73

Oklahoma County

The water levels in the three deep observation wells tapping the 

Garber and Wellington sands north of Oklahoma City generally reflected 

change in pumpage, rising during the spring, declining during the summer 

and fall, reaching a minimum stage during September or October, and rising 

again in the latter part of the year. At the end of the year, the water 

level in well 1 was 6.06 feet higher than at the end of 1944, in well 2 it 

was 5.80 feet higher, and in well 5 it was 3.07 feet higher. These rises 

are due to decrease in total pumpage during the year caused by excessive 

rainfall and a relatively cool simmer.

Well 4, also a deep well, situated close to one of the supply wells 

of the Oklahoma City Air Depot, is affected by the pumpage of the nearby 

well but also reflects the total withdrawal of the air depot, the nearby

*

Douglas plant and Midwest City. The water level varied considerably from 

day to day but the general trend was a slight rise during the first part 

of the year, then a decline during the summer months due to increased 

seasonal pumpage and a large rise in water level following V-J day when 

activities at the Douglas plant were abruptly reduced. The reduction in 

pumpage of about one-third caused the water level to rise almost 36 feet 

from August 1945 to the end of the year.

The water levels in the five shallow observation wells within the 

Oklahoma City emergency well field and tapping the alluvium of the North 

Canadian River Valley, generally responded quickly to precipitation. Water 

levels rose during the first 6 months in response to heavy precipitation 

and reached their highest recorded stages at the end of June. They then 

declined through the summer months, rose again in response to heavy rainfall at the end of September, and declined slightly from this peak through 

the remainder of the year. At the end of the year the wells at Pennsylvania Avenue and Reno Street averaged 2.53 feet higher than at the end of 

1944, and the well 1 mile west was 6.91 feet higher at the end of 1945 than 

at the end of 1944.

Three new wells in Oklahoma County were added to the program during 

the last half*of the year. These wells are shallow and were drilled by 

the Oklahoma City Water Department in the high terrace of the North 

Canadian River near Bethany. This terrace covers about 30 square miles and
74 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

consists of unconsolldated deposits of sands, clays, and gravels. The 

terrace Is at present being actively dissected by the tributary drainage 

of both the North Canadian and Clmarron Rivers, the divide between the two 

stream systems being on the terrace. Precipitation on the terrace Is the 

main source of ground water In the terrace which occurs under water-table 

conditions. Discharge occurs through pumpage from wells, which Is relatively small, transpiration and evaporation losses, and effluent seepage Into 

the lower terraces, the streams, and the Bluff Creek Canal which Is used 

to transport selected flood flows from the North Canadian River to Lake 

Hefner, the municipal reservoir for Oklahoma City.

The wells are located approximately half a mile, 1 mile, and l£ miles 

east of the river, the two wells closest to- the river fluctuating the 

most. These wells declined about 1^ feet during August and September, 

rose about a foot due to the fall rains and then d ecllned during the rest 

of the year due to a dry period. The well farthest from the river showed 

Ifttle fluctuation during the last half of the year, the total range being 

only 0.27 foot, but these minor fluctuations were roughly parallel to those 

of the other well?.

North Canadian River Valley

The observation wells In the North Canadian River Valley from Yukon to 

Beaver are all near the river and the water levels respond more to changes 

in the stage of the river than to precipitation. The. well at Beaver, 

which Is measured weekly, Indicates the general trends of the water level 

during the year. During the first 6 months the water level rose steadily 

due to continued flow In the river and slightly excess rainfall, rising 

sharply at the end of June to the highest stage of the year about 4^ feet 

above the stage at the beginning of the year. During the next three months 

It declined In response to lack of flow In the river and very little 

precipitation and reached a low at the end of September more than 5 feet 

lower than the high stage. During the rest of the year, when transpiration 

and evaporation losses were at a minimum, flow In the river resumed and, 

although precipitation was below normal for these months, the water level 

rose slightly, so that at the end of the year It was 0.46 foot lower than 

at the beginning. In general, the water levels In the other wells along 

the river conformed to this pattern and, at the end of the year, were 

slightly lower than at the beginning.

Stillwater Creek Basin

Ag shown In figure 11 , water levels In the Stillwater Creek Basin 

were slightly higher during 1945 than during 1944. During the first part 

of the year precipitation was about normal, transpiration and evaporation 

losses were at a minimum, and the average water level rose more than 1-J 

feet. During the summer precipitation was less than normal, transpiration 

and evaporation losses were high, and the average water level declined 

more than a foot. Heavy rains at the end of September caused a large rise 

in water level, the highest recorded in the past 2 years 5.64 feet above 

the water level at the beginning of the year. Below-normal precipitation 

during the last 5 months, caused the water level to decline sharply from 

the peak at the beginning of October, but, at the end of the year the water 

level was 1.32 feet higher than at the end of 1944. Generally, water levels 

in the wells were considerably above average during the year.

Tlllman County

Weekly measurements of water level, started in November 1944 in the 

irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton Substation, near Tipton, were 

made throughout the year and, since the well was not pumped during the 

year, the water levels reflect the natural fluctuations of the water table 

in the terrace deposit on which the well is situated.

During the latter part of 1944, the water level showed a slight rise 

which continued through the first part of May. Precipitation during this 

period, although not heavy, was fairly regular, and coupled with the 

seasonal decrease in transpiration and evaporation losses, accounted for 

the rise* During the latter half of May and the first week in June, no 

rain fell and the water level declined slightly. Heavy rains through June, 

July, and the first part of August caused the water level to rise more than 

a foot. It declined through the remainder of August and most of September 

until heavy rains caused another rise. Lack of precipitation during the 

last months caused a slight decline. At the end of the year the water 

level was slightly more than a foot higher than at the end of 1944.

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. A more or less continuous program of periodical measurements of water levels or artesian pressures in selected observation wells 

has been carried on since the start of this study and has been expanded 

from time to time as new projects started. During 1945, 2,146 measurements 

were made In 856 wells in 41 counties.

For the purpose of summarizing climatological data, the United States 

Weather Bureau has divided Texas into three parts: The western division, 

comprising all of the State west of the 101st meridian; the middle division, 

comprising the territory between the 97th and 101st meridians; and the 

eastern division, comprising all of the State east of the 97th meridian.

The average yearly precipitation increases toward the east, most of 

the western division being arid and most of the eastern division humid or 

semi-humid; while the middle division lies between the two. However, the 

yearly precipitation at a given station in any of the three divisions varies 

within wide limits. For example, in the western part of the State, at El 

Paso, the average yearly precipitation for a period of 96 years, from 1850 

through 1945, amounted to 9.16 inches, but ranged from 21.81 inches in 

1856 to 2.22 inches in 1891. In the eastern part of the State, at Bon Wier, 

the average yearly precipitation from 1914 through 1945 amounted to 56.34 

inches, but ranged from 81.92 inches in 1940 to 38.21 inches in 1925. A 

similar wide range occurs in the middle division.

The annual precipitation In 1945 over the State as a whole, according 

to the Weather Bureau's summary, ranged from 6.74 Inches at El Paso, in 

the extreme western part of the State, to 77.34 inches at Orange, In the 

extreme southeastern part of the State. It averaged 2.91 Inches below 

normal In the western division, near normal In the middle division, and 

10.31 Inches above normal In the eastern division. In 1944 the precipitation was above normal in all three divisions, amounting to 2.47, 3.7S, 

and 11.43 Inches, respectively, In the western, middle, and eastern 

divisions.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN WATER LEVELS IN 1945 

BALCONES FAULT ZONE

Most of the observation wells In Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Klnney, 

Travls, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Wllllamson Counties are In the Balcones fault 

zone. Most of them draw water from the Edwards limestone, but a few draw 

from the Austin chalk, and a few from shallow sands and gravels. The 

ground-water reservoir In the Edwards limestone Is the source of the large 

springs of the fault zone from the vicinity of Comstock, In Val Verde 

County, eastward through the cities of Del Rio, San Antonio, New Braunfels, 

and San Marcos to Austin. Some of these springs are among the largest 

springs of the United States. The combined average recorded dally discharge of the seven largest Goodenough, San Pellpe, Los Moras, San Antonio, 

Comal, San Marcos, and Barton Is about 550,000,000 gallons a day. The 

Edwards reservoir also supplies water to Irrigation wells in Bexar and 

Uvalde Counties and to the public and Industrial wells In San Antonio and 

numerous smaller cities. Most of the observation wells In the Edwards 

limestone are artesian, and the water level In them rises quickly after 

heavy rains In the outcrop area.

During 1945 water-level measurements were made only once, in May or 

June, In most of the observation wells In the Balcones fault zone except 

In Bexar County where an automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained continuously since 1932 on well 436 at the Beverly Lodges tourist 

court In San Antonio. The average net change In the water level In the 

Edwards limestone wells from the summer of 1944 to the summer of 1945 in 

the observation wells Is given in the following table by counties.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimmit and Zavala Counties; the Winter Garden district. All of the 

irrigation wells draw from the Carrizo sand, which crops out in a belt 

about 1 to 7 miles wide, extending from the Rio Grande northward and northeastward across the northwestern part of Webb County, western part of Zavala 

County, the southern part of Uvalde County, and thence eastward and northeastward. The sand is about 200 feet thick v on the average and dips generally 

to the east or southeast. The belt in which it can be reached at a depth 

of 1,000 feet or less is about 15 miles wide. Pumping for irrigation on a 

large scale has been in progress in this area for more than 25 years. In 

1938-39 it was estimated that about 30,000 acre-feet of water was pumped. 

 In 1941-42 the rate of pumping was materially increased and since then it 

has been considerably greater each year than it was in 1938-39. No 

accurate figures are available, however, for the 1940-45 pumpage.

Down the dip in areas of heavy pumping, the water levels declined 

persistently each year from 1941 to 1944, with most of the decline taking 

place during the seasons of 1941-42 and 1942-43. The following table gives 

the average declines in water level in 12 areas that have taken place in 

the 3-year period from August 1941 to August 1944, and the decline or rise 

in water level from August 1944 to August 1945.

county In Texas, both surface water and ground water being used to Irrigate 

this crop. For the purpose of comparing water levels In wells from year 

to year, measurements are made In the spring, Just before the start of pumpIng for rice Irrigation. At that time, the Irrigation wells have been idle 

for several months and the water levels In them have made their maximum 

recovery from the decline caused by pumping In the last season. In the 

latter part of April 1945, the water levels In 21 observation wells ranged 

from 2.85 feet higher to 10.21 feet lower than they were In March 1944. 

On the average, they were 0.9 foot lower In 1945.

Jackson County. The water levels In 26 observation wells in Jackson 

County ranged from 3.17 feet lower to 3.05 feet higher and averaged 0.7 foot 

higher In April 1945 than they did in March 1944.

Matagorda County. The water levels In three observation wells in 

Matagorda County ranged from 0.78 foot lower to 1.02 feet higher in April 

1945 than they did in March 1944.

Houston district. Fluctuations of water levels were observed In three 

general areas designated as (l) the Houston-Basadena district, (2) the Katy 

rice-growing district, and (3) the outcrop area of the water-bearing sands 

which supply the water used In both the Houston-Pasadena and Katy districts. The outcrop area lies west, northwest, and north of Houston in 

Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, and Montgomery Counties.
TEXAS 101

In the Houston-Pasadena area the pumpage Increased from 77,000,000 

gallons a day In 1941 to 112,000,000 gallons a day in 1945. As a result 

of this Increase in pumpage, the general decline of water levels in the 

wells which began in 1937, continued at an accelerated rate during 1942, 

1943, 1944, and the first 8 months of 1945. During the fall and winter 

of 1945, however, there was a marked decrease in the average rate of decline and a pronounced rise occurred in several observation wells in the 

vicinity of Pasadena and in eastern Houston owing to a curtailment in the 

operation of several Industrial plants. In observation wells that are 

screened opposite the heavily pumped sands at Houston and Pasadena and in 

areas west of Houston, the average decline from the spring of 1942 to thespring of 1945 amounted to about 27.5 feet. The largest decline, averaging 39 feet in 21 observation wells, occurred in the eastern Houston and 

Pasadena ship channel district where -the Increase in pumping was the 

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

the locality west of the city there was an average decline of 5.5 feet 

between spring measurements of 1944 and 1945. In the locality north of 

Houston the decline in water levels averaged 4.2 feet between 1944 and 

1945. In observation wells that are screened opposite the comparatively 

shallow, lightly pumped sands, the decline in water levels continued from 

1942 through 1945 but at a considerably lower rate than the decline in 

wells in the deeper, more heavily pumped sands. In five representative 

wells the decline between 1944 and 1945 averaged 3.8 feet.

In the Katy rice-growing area it is estimated that about 34,200 acres 

was Irrigated in 1945 as compared to 31,700 acres in 1944. In 1945 the 

rainfall during the growing season was considerably greater than it was in 

1944, and although the total acreage under irrigation was greater by about 

2,500 acres than it was in 1944, the pumpage was estimated at about 56,000 

acre-feet (an average of 50,000,000 gallons a day) as compared to 64,000 

acre-feet used in 1944. ' In 38 observation wells in the Katy rice-growing 

acre the average water level rose 1.0 foot between the spring of 1944 and 

the spring of 1945.

In the outcrop area the water levels in the water-table wells north 

and northwest-of Houston averaged from 5 to 10 feet higher than they were 

in 1938-40. In localities affected by pumpage by nearby rice irrigation
102 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

wells, a decline of 5 to 15 feet occurred each pumping season, which, 

however was recovered during the winter. Because there has been no material 

decline in the water levels in the outcrop area during the period of record, 

it appears that more water has been contributed to storage in the outcrop 

area (the ultimate sotirce of the ground-water supply of the Houston district) than has moved down the dip toward the pumped aree.

Galveston-Alta Loma-Texas City district. The water levels in observation wells throughout Galveston County have declined persistently for a 

number of years due to the continued heavy pumping in the industrial areas 

centering around Texas City and vicinity, and pumping in the Alta Loma well 

field by the city of Galveston. In 1945, the water levels in eight of nine 

observation wells ranged from 4.18 feet to 23.20 feet lower than they were 

in 1944, the average net decline in these wells amounting to 10.0 feet.

HIGH PLAINS

The High Plains in Texas occupy an area of about 35,000 square miles, 

which extends from the northern boundary of the Panhandle southward about 

300 miles and from the Texas-New Mexico state line eastward an average 

distance of about 120 miles to a boundary that is sharply defined in most 

places by bold escarpment several hundred feet high.

The rapid development of irrigation from wells in the High Plains in 

Texas during the last 10 years is believed to be unprecedented anywhere in 

the United States. In 1944 about 450,000 acres was under irrigation and 

the total area within the exterior boundaries of the irrigated districts 

amounted to about 3,000,000 acres. Hence, about 15 percent of the total 

area was irrigated and there was, on the average, one well to about 1,000 

acres. In the more heavily pumped localities the wells were more closely 

spaced, the average being one well to 280 acres in one area of 50 square 

miles and one well to 300 acres in another area of 50 square miles.

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 oi> additions to 

storage in the ground-water reservoirs in the pumping districts and closely
TEXAS 103

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.

Prom 1937 to 1941, a period of subnormal precipitation, the increase 

in irrigation was accompanied by a persistent decline of the water table. 

During 1941 the precipitation was very heavy, the heaviest on record in 

parts of the region. Consequently, the water requirements for irrigation 

were small, recharge to the ground-water reservoirs was unusually large, 

and observation wells in each pumping district showed a pronounced rise in 

water levels* During 1942 precipitation was again above average, pumping 

was again light, and the water levels in most of the wells either remained 

nearly stationary or rose slightly. During 1943 the precipitation was 

light, and pumping was greater than ever before. Practically all the 

observation wells showed a decline in water levels from February 1943 to 

February 1944. The net change in the water levels from February 1944 to 

February 1945 in 10 counties of the High Plains in Texas is discussed below.

Bailey County. The records of water-level measurements in 22 selected 

observation wells in Bailey County show a net decline ranging from 0.1 foot 

to 1.5 feet and averaging 0.8 foot from February 1944 to February 1945. 

These wells are distributed fairly evenly over the irrigation district 

which extends from the sand hills northward to the southern boundary of 

Partner County. The outstanding feature in these Records is that the 

exceptionally large rise due to recharge during the wet year of 1941 has 

been well maintained for the last 3 years and the water levels are several 

feet above the average for the 5 years 1936 to 1940, inclusive.

Castro County. In the older irrigation district in the northern part 

of the county, the records of water levels in nine observation wells show 

changes ranging from a decline of 1.5 feet to a rise of 1.1 feet between 

February 1944 and February 1945. In the newer irrigation district in the 

south-central and southeastern parts of the county, the changes in water 

levels in eight observation wells during the same period range from a 

decline of 0.6 foot to a rise of 0.3 foot. The measurements in Castro 

County, as a whole, show comparatively little net change in water levels 

since the observations were started in 1936-39.
104 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

Croaby County. Records of water-level measurements In February 1944 

and February 1945 are available for only three observation wells In Crosby 

County all of which are In the Irrigation district In the northern part of 

the county. One well on the upland had a rise of 0.5 foot and two near 

playa lakes had a decline of 0.1 foot and 0.5 foot, respectively. AccordIng to the few records available, the water levels In the Irrigated area 

In Crosby County were somewhat higher in February 1945 than they were at 

the start of the measurements in 1937 and 1958.

Deaf Smith County, Water-level measurements in 36 observation wells 

distributed fairly evenly over the irrigation district, which covers most 

of the southeastern quarter of the county, show changes ranging from a 

decline of 2.2 feet to a rise of 1.6 feet and a mean average decline of 

0.2 foot between February 1944 and February 1945. In Deaf Smith County from 

the beginning of record until the spring of 1941 there was a persistent net 

decline in water levels each year. During 1941-42 the water levels recovered somewhat. In 1943, with the return of heavy pumping, the downward 

trend was resumed. Outside of the most heavily pumped districts, the net 

decline since 1936-37.has been comparatively small*

Floyd County,' The records of water levels in 27 observation wells 

show a net decline ranging from 0.7 foot to 4.1 feet and averaging 2.2 feet 

from February 1944 to February 1945. The wells are distributed fairly 

evenly over the irrigation district which covers the western third of the 

county. From the beginning of the measurements until the spring of 1941 

a net decline was recorded each year. During 1941-42 the water levels 

recovered somewhat. In 1945, with the return of heavy pumping, the downtrend was resumed and is still in effect.

Hale County. The records of water levels in 53 observation wells show 

a net decline ranging from 0*1'foot to 3.5 feet and averaging 1.4 feet from 

February 1944 to February 1945. The wells are distributed fairly evenly 

over the irrigated areas of the northern two-thirds of the county. From 

the beginning of the records until the spring of 1941 there was a gradual 

but persistent decline of water levels- in the principal irrigated areas. 

During 1941-42 the water levels recovered somewhat. In 1945, with the 

return of heavy pumping, the downward trend in most of the wells was resumed and is still in effect.
TEXAS 105

Hockley County. The records of water levels In seven observation 

wells In the older Irrigated area In the northeastern part of the county 

show a net decline ranging from 0 to 2.4 feet and averaging 1.4 feet from 

February 1944 to March 1945. In the newer Irrigated areas in the central 

and southeastern parts of the county, five observation wells showed a net 

rise In water levels ranging from 0.2 foot to 0.8 foot and averaging 0.4 

foot during the same period. According to the few available records, the 

water levels were higher in March 1945 than they were at the start of 

measurements In 1937-39.

Lamb County. The records of water levels In nine observation wells in 

the northwestern part of the county north of the sand hills show changes 

ranging from a decline of 1.4 feet to a rise of 0.3 foot and a net average 

decline of 0.7 foot from February 1944 to February 1945. Records of 11 

wells in the north-central and northeastern part of the county for the 

same period show changes ranging from a decline of 1 foot to a rise of 

0.2 foot and a net average decline of 0.2 foot. In the central and southeastern part of the county, south of the sand hills, the records of six 

wells show changes ranging from a decline of 2.3 feet to a rise of 0.8 

foot and a net average decline of 0.5 foot. The water levels in the 

county as a whole were substantially higher in February 1945 than they 

were at the start of the records in 1936-37.

Lubbock County. The records of water-level measurements in 56 observation wells Include areas of both heavy and light pumping. In 22 wells 

on the uplands remote from streams or lakes, 10 in the more heavily pumped 

area show a net decline ranging from 0.1 foot to 2.0 feet and averaging 

1.0 foot from February 1944 to February 1945; 5 wells in areas of moderate 

to heavy pumping show no net change during this period; 7 wells mostly .in 

areas of light pumping show a rise ranging from 0.2 foot to 1.1 feet and 

averaging 0.7 foot; 12 wells in pumping areas near streams or lakes show 

a decline ranging from 0.1 foot to 4.0 feet and averaging 1.5 feet. With 

the exception of three wells near the heavily pumped city of Lubbock well 

field, all of the observation wells in the county for which records are 

available show a net rise in water levels between 1936-38 and February 

1945.
