Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground reservoirs In which a part of the water derived from rain and snow Ss stored to 

supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams dvring periods 

of fair weather. Water levels 1m 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 ar« 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 193 £ and baa 

continued yearly since. The records for the entire country wer« published 

in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 194C 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 mries 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 beer covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the northeastern states and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure in about 800 observation wella of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Connecticut, Indiara, Maine, 

Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, 

Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Of these wells, 108 are equipped witl automatic 

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

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

years before 1943. 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 nunber 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 ari> 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 30,830 individual determinations of water level and 

artesian pressure.

Land-surface datum

Hitherto, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian 

pressures for some wells have been 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 was 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. The 

time has now come, however, for the adoption of a uniform practice as to
INTRODUCTION

datum in making the records to be published In the annual water-level reports. It has become evident that the water levels In each well should 

be expressed with reference to a permanent datum plane established for 

that well In order to preserve the continuity of the record If the measuring point Is changed. The chief objection to the use of datum planes

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian pressure In observation wells In 1943. The shaded section represents the part 

of the country covered by this volume.

other than land surface has been that the significance of the witer level 

with respect to the land surface Is thereby concealed. It appears, however, 

that this objection can be overcome by using a precise datum plane that 

approximates the land surface.

The adoption of land-surface datum planes as the standard to be used 

In expressing water levels and artesian heads will not prevent the use of 

other datum planes for the summary tables and for maps and graphs In the 

annual water-level reports or In other reports. The use of the sea-level 

datum and the 10-foot datum planes are to be encouraged for purposes of 

study and Interpretation, but the land-surface datum planes will be used exclusively for publishing original records. Bench marks must be established,

aa heretofore, near each observation well to prevent the loss of the precise 

record If the measuring point or the well Itself Is destroyed. 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 the appropriate annual reports.

In accordance with the above, 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 to landsurface datum for the 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 the 

report for 1942, It Is not repeated In this report.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of kiiy 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 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 1942 the network 

included about 130 wells in 40 States. About 40 of the wells wer-» established expressly for the network in 1942; the other 90 were selected froa 

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.

General summary of changes in ground-water level in 1943 in the 

northeastern part of the United States

In 1943, precipitation in all of the States in the northeastern part 

of the United States was below normal, except in New York, where precipitation was normal, and in Michigan, where it was somewhat above nornml. 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.

PROGRAM OP WORK

A study of ground-water conditions in Connecticut was begun in October 1954 as a project of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, 

sponsored by the State Planning Board and the State Water Commission and 

under the «technical direction of the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. For several years the study was continued as 

a project of the Works Progress Administration, under the same sponsorship and technical direction. No records of water-level measurements 

were published, however, until 1938, when seven reports that include 

water-level measurements were released by the Works Progress Administration, in mimeographed form, as Bulletins GW 1 to GW 7,inclusive.

Beginning in 1939 and continuing in each succeeding year, a cooperative investigation of ground-water conditions in the New Haven area has 

been conducted by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior, and the State Water Commission of Connecticut. The inv«stigation includes a program of periodic measurements of water level in wells 

in the area, records of which have been published,for each year by the 

Geological Survey. The program at the beginning of 1943 included 22 

wells, in 1 of which measurements were discontinued during the ye^r, 

leaving 21 under observation at the end of the year. Measurements were 

made at least once a month in 1943 in all the wells, and the number of 

Individual measurements made was about 300.

The monthly collection of samples <jf ground water used to determine 

the chloride content, which was begun July 31, 1941, was also continued 

in 1943. During the year 305 samples were collected from 19 pumping 

plants in the city of New Haven. The chloride content of these samples 

was determined at the Connecticut State Agricultural Experiment Station, 

at New Haven, under the direction of Dr. E. M. Bailey, chemist.

As an aid In studying the results of the water-level measurement and 

chloride-sampling program, the city of New Haven has been divided Into 

four somewhat arbitrarily determined areas based on the chief use of 

ground water In each. The boundaries of these areas are.shown In figure 2 

The Residential area comprises the north upland part of the city, where 

there are relatively few wells, most of them of small capacity. At widely 

separated locations In this area, however, are a few Industrial plants 

that pump considerable water. The Alr-condltlonlng area Includes the 

business section, In which theaters, stores, and restaurants use ground 

water for alr-condltlonlng. The Cold-storage area, In which ground water 

Is used chiefly for the refrigeration of meat and dairy products, extends 

along State Street from Columbus Avenue to Grand Avenue. The IndTstrlal 

area, where ground water Is used chiefly In manufacturing, Is In the 

vicinity of the West and Mill Rivers.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Ground-water levels In New Haven are affected by both precipitation 

and pumping. In the Residential area rainfall is the major facto". In 

the Industrial area, however, the effects of pumping are sufficient to 

mask the effects of precipitation. During the colder months, whe"~ withdrawals are relatively light, the movement of water levels In the Ai»- 

condltlonlng and Cold-storage areas reflects the precipitation conditions, 

as do wells In the Residential area. However, during the suaraer when considerable quantities of water are withdrawn, the effects of pumping masks 

the effect of precipitation.

The following table presents a summary of data on the water levela, 

listing 20 of the observation wells, which are grouped under the four 

"areas" already defined.

The summary table affords a comparison of the lowest and highest water 

levels reached in each well with its water level at the end of 1943 and 

also & comparison of the fluctuations in each of the four area^ with the 

fluctuations in the other areas. It shows that the water levels in all 

except three of the wells reached their lowest observed stages in the latter 

part of 1941 or the early part of 1942. Of the three exceptions, the ' 

water levels in two wells NHn 120 and NHn 123 reached their lowest stages 

in August 1942. These two wells are in the Air-conditioning area, where 

water levels generally reach their lowest stages during the latter part of 

August, when the advent of cooler weather causes a sharp decrease in pumpage. Wells NHn 120 and NHn 123 are considerably nearer the ceiter of 

pumping of the Air-conditioning area than well NHn 128, which accounts for 

their water levels reaching lower stages than the water level in well NHn 

128. The third exception is well NHn 160, whose water level reached its 

lowest stage in September 1943. Well NHn 160 is in the Industrial area, 

at a plant in the Mill River section, and its water level is affec'ted by 

changes in the rate of pumping from other wells at the same plant.

a Well inaccessible for measurement during summer owing to pumping 

for air-conditioning.
10 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSUHS, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The water levels In four wells--NHn 270, in the Residential area, 

NHn 123 and 126, in the Air-conditioning area, and NHn 245, in tire Industrial area reached record high stages in the spring of 1943. Except for 

NHn 245, this may be attributed to above-normal rainfall In Marct" and May. 

It is presumed that the high stage at NHn 245 resulted from a decrease in 

the rate of withdrawal in the area.

The net change in ground-water level during 1943 in each of 15 wells 

in New Haven, grouped under the areas defined, is shown in the fcllowlng

All but one of the wells listed In the table of net change rhowed a 

net decline in water level during 1943, which was caused by belor-normal 

precipitation. One well, however, NHn 110, showed a net rise, cfuaed by a 

decrease in the pumpage from a nearby well. Well NHn 110 Is in p building 

situated at the center of the Cold-storage area, and its water level i,s 

considerably affected by changes in the rate of pumping from thi? nearby 

well, which is in the same building.

Another well affected by changes in the rate of pumping of raarby 

wells is NHn 120, which has shown a persistent downward trend in water 

level since the first measurement was made in It. This trend is undoubtedly 

the result of an increase in the rate of pumping in the surrounding area. 

well NHn 120 is in the Roger Sherman Theater, which Is in the certer of a 

district of theaters, restaurants, and department stores that use ground 

water for air-conditioning. In many of these establishments the air-conditioning equipment has been installed fairly recently, so that the pumpage 

of ground water during the summer in downtown New Haven has greatly increased in the last few years.
COHNKCTICUT 11

The effects of pumping and precipitation are shown by the graphs on 

figure 3 which affords a comparison of the fluctuations, over a period 

of years, in a representative well in each of the three areas Residential, 

Air-conditioning, and Cold-storage with the variations in monthly precipitation, as shown by the accumulated departure from a 10-year ruruilng average 

In general, the trend of the water level in well NHn 170 (Hesid^ntial area) 

corresponds to the highs and lows in the precipitation curve. In the other 

two areas, however, the effect of pumping during the summer months has a 

noticeable effect on the water levels, overpumplng causing a do'roward 

trend in both wells.

The precipitation at New Haven in 1943 was 36.62 Inches, cr* about 21 

inches less than in 1942. This is 10 inches below normal and the lowest 

recorded since 1930. In March, May, and June the precipitation was above 

normal, and, in consequence, water levels were at high stag&s during these 

months. During the period July to December, however, the precipitation 

was below normal, and the water levels, in response, declined steadily. 

The average for the year of the water levels In the Hesldential area was 

only 0.5 foot higher than the lowest average observed for any y*ar to date 

that of 1941. Two factors prevented the average level for 1943 from declining to the low of 1941, namely, (1) the concentration in tin spring of 

1943 of a large proportion of the year's precipitation, resulting in some 

recharge later in the same year, and (2) above-normal precipitation In the 

preceding year (1942), especially in November and December, also resulting 

in recharge in 1943. In 1941, on the other hand, the precipitation was 

less in amount that in 1943 and less favorably distributed for recharge in 

the same year, nor was the precipitation in the preceding year (1940) 

favorably distributed for recharge in 1941.

In the Cold-storage area, ground-water levels are frequently drawn 

below mean sea level, as illustrated in figure 3 , which includes a graph 

showing .the fluctuations over a period of several years in well KHn 108, 

a"typical well in the Gold-storage area. As a result, salt wat<>r encroaches 

on the wells. The.chloride content in well waters in this area varlea 

considerably, being greater when the water levels are low. During the 

period of low water levels in 1941, the chloride content of water from one 

plant, NHn 173, one of the 19 pumping plants that are sampled, was 1,612

INDIANA

By P. H. KLaer, Jr., and J. G. Ferrls 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The cooperative observation-well program In Indiana, begun In 1935, 

was continued In 1943 In cooperation with the Indiana State Department of 

Conservation. In March 1943 a bill was passed by the Indiana Legislature 

authorizing the State Department of Conservation to make a detailei 

Investigation of the water resources of the State In cooperation with the 

Federal Geological Survey, and funds were appropriated for this purpose. 

The observation-well program now forms part of this investigation, for 

which funds were contributed, also,by the State Highway Commission and 

the State Board of Health. State funds are matched by the Federal Geological Survey.

The water-resources Investigation includes the study of grouni 

water conditions and ground-water supplies throughout the State, giving 

particular attention at present to the areas In which large quantities of 

water are pumped from wells for munielpal and Industrial uses. This will 

require the expansion of the present observation-well program, in order 

that data on water levels may be available for all parts of the Sfte. 

Detailed quantitative studies will be made In certain heavily pumped 

areas In order to estimate. Insofar as possible, the safe yields of the 

water-bearing formations.

The field work In the Indianapolis area was curtailed during 1945 

but measurements of water level were continued. A detailed report on this 

area was issued at the beginning of the year.

At the beginning of 1943, periodic measurements of water level were 

being made In 50 wells, Including 11 in the Indianapolis area, in Marion 

County. During the year, measurements were begun In five wells ani discontinued in two wells. The new observation wells are in Clark, Dvarborn, 

and Marion Counties. At the end of the year, periodic measurements were

being made In 55 wells, Including 13 In the Indianapolis area. The 

measurements were made by members of the Indiana Department of Conservation and municipal water departments and by private Individuals. They 

were made twice a month In most wells, monthly or weekly In a few wells, 

and dally In two wells. During the ye=tr about 1,700 measurenents of 

water level were made. Two automatic water-stage recorders were In 

operation on wells in the Indianapolis area during most of the year, and 

one each on wells in Clark and Dearborn Counties for parts of the year. 

The location of the observation wells Is shown In figure 4 .

PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation In Indiana during 1945 was 57.45 Inches, 

or 1.72 Inches below the average for the 57-year period of record. The 

precipitation was Irregularly distributed, causing floods In the spring 

and droughts In the fall In certain parts of the State. May, March, and 

July were the wettest months, with 8.70, 4.67, and 4.22 inches of precipitation, respectively, and December, January, and February were the driest, 

with only 1.16, 1.17, and 1.47 Inches. Heavy precipitation in March and 

May caused flooding in many of the larger streams, particularly the 

Wabash River and the West Pork of the White River. Drought conditions 

prevailed during the fall, particularly In the southern part of the State, 

and water shortages were reported In nany of the southern covntles.

During 1943 the highest water levels for the periods of record were 

reached in 15 of the observation wells, and in 12 of theae thf highest water 

levels occurred in May or June, largely as a result of heavy precipitation 

during the period May 7-25. These wells are located mainly ir the northern 

part of the State. The lowest water levels of record were rernhed in four 

wells, mainly in the southern part of the State. In the following table 

are given the net changes in water levels in the observation rells, for 

which records are available, from the dates of the measurements nearest to 

December 31, 1942, to those nearest December 31, 1943.

Water levels in observation wells unaffected by pumping were generally 

rising on January 1, 1P43, and continued to rise until May or June. Heavy 

precipitation in March caused the levels in many wells to rife considerably 

and additional heavy precipitation in May, particularly in tire northern 

part of the State, caused the levels in many wells to reach their highest 

stage on recerd. The water levels in most wells declined from June to 

December, in several wells reaching stages lower than those of 1941 and 

in at least two reaching the lowest stages on record. In mort of the observation wells there was a net decline in 1943.

The fluctuations of the water levels in three wells in different parts 

of the State are shown by graphs in figure 5. These are Steuben County 

well 1, at Angola, in the northeastern corner of the State; Montgomery 

County well 1, at Waveland, in the central part; and Clark County well 1, 

at Henryville, in the southern part. All three wells are esrentially 

unaffected by pumping, and the fluctuations of their water levels are 

therefore due primarily to natural causes. Although their records show 

a large annual fluctuation the net decline of water level in these wells, 

since Jan. 1, 1937, has been relatively small.

Measurements of water level in observation wells in the Indianapolis 

area were continued during 1943 and two new wells, Marion 18 and 19, were 

added to the program. It is believed that the changes In water level in 

these new wells are due primarily to natural causes in contrsst to the 

other observation wells in the area, which are affected by pumping. In 

figure 6 are shown graphs of water levels in wells Marion 2, which taps 

the sand and gravel of the alluvial deposits, and Marion 10, which taps 

the underlying Devonian limestone. The general trend of water level in

believed that they are not greatly affected by any one nearby well or group 

of wells, but are within the area of Influence of many wells used for 

Industrial and alr-condltloning supplies.

Periodic measurements of water level were made in 1943 by thr Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in five observation 

wells in Maine. Three of the wells are in the southern part of tl"i State, 

at Amherst, Cornish, and Mercer, which are in the drainage basins, respectively, of the Union, Saco, and Kennebec Rivers. The other two wells are in 

the northern part of the State, at Portage and Sherman Mills, in the drainage basins, respectively of the St. John and Penobscot Rivers. T?he observation-well program in the State began in July 1939, when a measurement was 

made in the well at Sherman Mills (U. S. 105). Measurements were first 

made in each of the other wells in either 1942 or 1943. During IF43 the 

measurements made in all the wells totaled about 360. All the mer«mr«m«nto 

made since the beginning of the program are included in the presort report.

SOURCE OF WATER

Pour of the observation wells in Maine all except the one at Sherman 

Mills penetrate unconsolidated material that ranges in composition from 

sand and gravel to more or less clayey overburden. The Sherman MJ.lls well 

passes through the overburden and ends in bedrock, and it is open to both. 

All the wells are in hilly country, and all except U. S. 159, at Cornish, 

are in rural areas.

PLEJOTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The wells in Maine generally show seasonal characteristics ir water 

level that appear only occasionally in wells in southern New England. This 

Is because of the colder climate in Maine. For long periods durlrs the 

winter the ground is deeply frozen and covered with snow, and there is 

little, if any, recharge. During these periods the water level declines 

steadily and the ground-water reservoirs are gradually emptied, tl t groundwater runoff maintaining in large part the flow of streams during the severe 

winter weather. Seasonal recharge, which, in southern New England, usually

takes place throughout the winter, is therefore delayed and genewlly do*s

not take place imtll the snow cover la removed In late winter or early 

spring. According to the available records, the ground-water r*servolrs 

are filled rapidly at the time of the seasonal thaw. The water-level 

measurements for the wells at Sherman Mills and Portage (U. S. 103 and 105) 

show that the larger part of the seasonal recharge takes place within a 

period of only 1 to 2 weeks, the rise of water level during that period 

amounting to as much as 12 feet in the well at Sherman Mills ani as much 

as 4 feet in the well at Portage.

In general, the precipitation In the southern part of the State, along 

the seacoast, Is greater than In other parts. In 1943 it was 5^. 57 inches 

at Machlas, In the southern part of Washington County, and 32.47 inches at 

Caribou, in the northern part of Aroostook County. Although 24 out of 31 

stations scattered throughout the State reported excessive precipitation 

for 1943, the precipitation was generally below normal In Janua-y, April, 

September, and December. In October and November all stations reported 

excessive precipitation, the total, at many places, amounting to more than 

7 inches. The water-level records for the wells at Sherman Mills, Portage, 

and Mercer reflect the changes In precipitation month by month during 1943 

and show rather clearly the effect of the heavy precipitation daring 

October and November. The wells at Portage and Sherman Mills showed a 

slight net decline for the year, but the well at Mercer showed -a net rise. 

The net change In water level In these three wells is In fair accord with 

the change In the measured precipitation In the vicinity of each. The 

precipitation In 1943 at the Milllnocket station, In the vicinity of Sherman 

Mills, and at Port Kent station, In the vicinity of Portage, was less than 

In 1942, but at Wlnslow station, In the vicinity of Mercer, it was greater 

than In 1942.

As far as Is known, none of the observation wells In Maine is affected 

by the pumping of other wells,

PROGRAM OP WORK

The Investigation of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts, begun In 1938, was continued In 1943 In cooperation with the Massachusetts 

Department of Public Works. The program was continued of making periodic 

measurements of water levels In a number of wells In Middlesex and 

Worcester Counties and In one well each In Berkshire, Essex, Franklin, and 

Hampden Counties. Monthly water-level measurements were raade in 32 wella 

In the Lowell and the Aberjona Valley areas, Middlesex County. In all, 

about 600 water-level measurements were made. Water-stage recorders were 

operated continuously on three wells at Leomlnster, Lowell, and 

WInchendon. At the end of 1943 the recorder on the well at Lowell was 

removed, but periodic measurements of the water level are to be made in 

this well. The general location of the observation wells Is shown on the 

Index map of Massachusetts (fig. 7 ).

The observation wells are listed alphabetically by counties. Complete 

descriptions of the observation wells were given in reports f ~r previous 

years, most of them In Water-Supply Papers 886 and 906. In previous watersupply papers the records of water level were expressed elthe** In feet 

above or below the measuring point or In feet above mean sea level, but in 

this paper they are expressed In feet below or above the land-surface 

datum, as Is explained in the Introduction.

The following tables summarize the data pertaining to gr-jund-water

levels In Massachusetts.

48 WATER IEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATED

As indicated in the foregoing table, all but three of the observation 

wells in Massachusetts showed a net decline in water level during 1943. 

In general, the decline was greatest in wells that penetrate depoaita of 

more or leas unatratified sandy clay, the average decline being about twice 

as great aa in wella that penetrate atratified aand and gravel. Tl "i decline of water levels during 1943 ia chiefly the result of deficient 

precipitation during the year. The water level in one of the three wells" 

that showed a net rise in 1943, Woburn 1, ia affected by pumping from nearby wells. The other two wells, Lowell 14 and Lowell 18, did net react to 

the heavy precipitation in 1942 as rapidly aa did the other observrtion 

wells, and as a result the water levels in these wella were relatively 

lower than in other wella at the beginning of 1943. Conaequently, the rise 

in water level during the early part of 1943 waa relatively greater than 

In other wella, reaulting eventually in a net riae for the year.

In 1943 the precipitation waa about 7 inchea less than the average 

for the preceding 10 yeara and about 10 inchea leas than in 1942. However, 

during the first part of the year the precipitation was,about norarl. The 

ground-water levela were high at the beginning of the year and rosp to 

exceptionally high stages by the end of May. During this period tli water 

levels in a number of the wella reached the highest atage of recorc*. In, 

contrast, dry conditions during the latter part of the year caused a sharp 

decline of water levela, and by the end of September the water levels were 

lower than in any year of record except 1941. The water levela bepan to 

rise after the end of the growing season but the recovery waa insufficient 

to bring them up to their positions at the beginning of *the year.

MICHIGAN

By W. T. Stuart, 0. P. Poindexter, and Norman Billinga 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The program of water-level measurements In observation wells In 

Michigan, begun in 1932 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Geological Survey Division 

of the Michigan Department of Conservation, was continued in 1P43. All 

the wella for which records are included in this report are in the 

Southern Peninsula, which, for the purpose of the program is considered aa 

made up of two parta northern and southern. As the conditions affecting 

water levels differ widely in the two parts, each part is discvssed 

separately as to water-level fluctuations.

At the beginning of 1943 the program embraced 114 wells; S were 

dropped during the year and 2 were added, making the total the same at the 

end of the year. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained in two 

wells throughout the year. This report lists 1,015 individual measurements during the year, distributed among 103 wells. These include 377 

measurements selected from a large number made monthly or oftener in 

municipal wells in the southern part of the Southern Peninsula. In the 

wells in the northern part of that peninsula, measurements were made at 

leaat once during the year monthly In wells in Crawford, KalkPska, Otsego, 

and Roscomifion Counties, and annually or semiannually in wells in Cheboygan, 

Grand Traverse, Missaukee, Montirorency, Presque Isle, and Wexford Counties. 

No measurements were made in Charlevoix County in 1943.

Most of the measurements of water level in 1943 in the northern part 

of the Southern Peninsula were made by Norman Billings, of the Michigan 

Geological Survey Division, under the supervision of 0. F. Poindexter, 

also of the Division.

58 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL 

Northern part of Southern Peninsula

The observation wells in the northern part of the Southern Peninsula 

are in forested areas, and therefore their water levels fluctuate principally in response to precipitation. In the 4? wells in which mearurements were made monthly, the water levels averaged atout the same at the 

end of 1943 as at the end of 1942 but several tenths of a foot lorer than 

at the end of 1941, when they'reached record high year-end stages. In 

many wells they reached high stages in the spring as a result of rbovenormal winter precipitation, but by the end of the year they had c*«sclined 

considerably, owing to prolonged periods of dry weather. The fluctuations 

in the two wells in which automatic water-stage recorders are maintained 

are considered typical for this part of the State, and these wells have 

therefore been chosen for a detailed study of fluctuations of water level 

in this general area and the causes of their fluctuations. The tro wells 

are the so-called Roscommon and Grayling recorder wells, in Rosconmon and 

Crawford Counties, respectively, under which periodic measurements of the 

water levels in 1943 are listed in this report. 

Roscommon recorder well

An automatic water-stage recorder was installed In November 1934 in 

a well constructed especially for observation at the Michigan Foreat Fire 

Experiment Station, about 2 miles south of Roscommon, hoacommon County. 

The recorder was in operation throughout 1943, and the records made lead 

to the following conclusions:

Rains In November of 1942 caused the water level to rise to about 5.5 

feet below land-surface datum during the period November 17-26, after which 

it declined slowly until, on December 27, it waa about 5.6 feet below landsurface datum. Heavy rains late in December caused it to rise rapidly, 

and it reached a stage of 5.23 feet below land-surface datum on Jamiary 1, 

1943, after which it again slowly declined and on February 10 reached a 

stage of 5.?3 feet below land-surface datum. The following day it rose 

0.08 foot, and it remained at about that stage until February 22, when it 

rose to 5.03 feet below land-surface datum. The maximum daily tenperatxire 

of the air was above freezing for several days in the pe-riod Febrv\ary 11-22, 

and the melting of some of the snow cover probably contributed to these 

rises. During the period February 22 to March 27 the water level again
MICHIGAN 59

roso, tut slowly and irregularly, until, on the last day of this period, 

it was 4.50 feet below land-surface datum. After this It rose more rapidly 

and by April 12 reached a stage ?,49 feet below land-surface datum. A 

slight decline, with minor fluctuations, followed this rise until April 29, 

after which the water level rose again until May 3 0.25 foot in all, or 

to a stage 7.46 feet below land-surface datum. It then declined apain 

until May 24, when it stood at 7.71 feet below land-surface datum, following which, apparently as the result of heavy rains, it rose to its highest 

stage of the year, 7.07 feet below land-surface datum, which it reached on 

June 4. The effects on the water level of transpiration by the trees in 

the vicinity became evident about May 15. After June 4 the water level 

declined steadily until November 6, when it reached a stage 5.25 feet 

below land-surface datum. As the result of rains early in November it 

had risen to 4.86 feet below land-surface datum by November 17, after which 

it declined slowly, with only minor fluctuations, until the end of the year. 

On December 31 it was 5.13 feet below land-surface datum.

The high stage of 7.07 feet below land-surface datum on June 4, 1943, 

is the highest on record for this well and exceeds by 0.01 foot the previous highest recorded stage, which was 7.08 feet below land-surface datum 

on April 2, 1978. The low stage for the year, 5.33 feet below land-surface 

datum on February 8, is 0.34 foot above the lowest stage in 1P42 and 0.69 

foot above the lowest recorded stage, which was reached in August 1936. 

Grayling recorder well

On November 11, 1T42, an automatic water-stage recorder was installed 

in a newly constructed well 3 miles west of Grayling, Crawford County, to 

aid in the study of conditions affecting recharge and ground-water runoff 

in that area. The well is on the divide between the drainage basins of 

the Manistee and Au Sable Rivers and also as near as possible to the groundwater divide between these basins.

During the period of record the water level in the Grayling well rose 

rapidly after each rain, indicating that at least a part of th-9 precipitation reached the water table in the form of recharge to the ground-water 

reservoir. Thus, rapid rises after rains occurred in 1942 on November 16 

and December 29, and in 1943 on February 11 and 24, March 17, 27, and 31, 

April 18, June 1, and 17, July 17, August 11, October 24, and November 8.
60 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATE''

As will be noted from the record of measurements, however, the water level 

declined promptly after each rise, rapidly at first and at a gradually 

decreasing rate on each successive day. The highest stage during the 

period ?.50 feet below land-surface datum waa reached on June 17, 1943, 

and the lowest stage 7.11 feet below land-surface datum on October 13, 

1943. The stage was 0.21 foot lower on December 31, 1943, than on 

December 31, 1942.

Southern part of Southern Peninsula

As already stated, all the observation wells in the southern part of 

the Lower Peninsula, 23 in all, are municipal wells, and all are affected 

by pumpage as well as by precipitation.

Ground-water conditions, as shown by the records of these municipal 

wells, were generally somewhat better in 1943 than in 1942 or 1P41, owing 

largely to above-normal precipitation. At each of the cities in w^ich the 

wells are situated the precipitation was excessive, ranging from 1.03 inches 

above normal at Three Rivers to 6.27 inches above normal at Ann Arbor and 

averaging ?.9 inches above normal.

The average daily pumpage in 1943 increaaed in five and probably in 

six of the seven cities in which the wells'are situated. (The record at 

Three Rivers, St. Joseph County, is incomplete.) One city, Battle Creek, 

in Calhoun County, reported a slight decrease In purapage. The pumpage 

affecting the water level in each of the city wells is discussed in connection with the water-level record for that well, under the county in which 

the city and well are situated.

The average daily withdrawal from wells at the Verona pumj-ing station 

in 1943 ranged from 2. r'4 million gallons in January to 5.34 million gallons 

in July and averaged 3.P? million gallons for the year. The average rate 

of withdrawal for 1942 was 2.79 million gallons; for 1941, 3.7f million 

gallons; and for 1940, 2.49 million gallons. In 1943 the water level in 

well 1 averaged about 1.6 feet lower than in 1942, about the seme aa in 

1941, and 0.5 foot lower than in 1940.

The average daily pumpage at the Goguac pumping station ir 1943 ranged 

0.3 million gallons in May to 1.7 million gallons in September and averaged 

1.30 million gallons for the year. The average daily pumpage in 1943 was 

0.04 million gallons less than in 1942, about 0.2 million gallcns more 

than in 1941, and about 0.2 million gallons less than in 1940. Because of 

variations in the pumpage at the different wells at the station and the low 

withdrawals in May, it is difficult to compare the water levels in well 2 

in 1943 with those in this well in 1942. However, the water levels were 

generally higher throughout If 43 than in each of several ye-.-rs prior to 

1943. The Improved ground-water conditions are undoubtedly due to the continued above-normal precipitation. The accumulated excess in precipitation 

above normal for the years 1940-43 was more than 20 inches.

Measurements in wells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7> and 8 were made by members 

of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Board of Water and Electric 

Light Commissioners, Lansing.

In 1943, the average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Lansing 

was about 12.8 million gallons, as compared with 11.1 million gallons in 

1942, 10.8 million gallons in 1941, and 9.4 million gallons in 19*0. The 

average daily pumpage in August, the month of heaviest pumpage during the 

year, was 14.9 million gallons. The maximum average daily pumpage was 

17.9 million gallons in June 1943.

The water level in well 2 averaged 1.3 feet lower in 1943 th^n in 

1942, although the total pumpage for the Cedar Street field decreased from 

about 50 million gallons to 0.7 million gallons in 1943.

The water levels in wells Z and 4 averaged about 8 feet lower in 1943 

than in 1942, largely owing to increased pumpage in the Pennsylvania and 

Riversid.e well fields.

The water levels in wells 6 and 7 averaged 9.2 feet lower in 1943 than 

in 1942, largely owing to the shift in pumpage from the Cedar Street to 

the Maple Street and Northwest well fields.

The water level in well 8 averaged about 2 feet lower in 1943 than 

in 1942, part of which decrease may represent a general lowering of the 

ground-water levels under the city, and it may also represent the increased 

pumpage by the industries associated with the war effort.

The precipitation at Lansing was above normal during each of the past 

4 years: 1940, excess 6.35 inches; 1941, excess 0.85 inch; 1942, excess 

5.59 inches; and 1943, excess 5.06 inches. However, it is believed that 

the sandstones penetrated t>y the municipal wells are recharged irr more or 

less remote areas and that, therefore, fluctuations in precipitation affect 

the Lansing wells only after considerable lag. It is believed that 

fluctuations in the volume of pumpage and the shift in centers of pumpage 

are primarily responsible for the water-level fluctuations in the observation wells at Lansing.

Measurements in wells 1,2, and 3 were made by Leon L. Simp?-clns, 

engineer, city waterworks, Leo Witters, superintendent.

The average daily pumpage from the municipal wells in Kalamazoo in 

1943 was 6.72 million gallons which is about 0.95 million gallons more 

than in 1942 and 0.5 million gallons more than in 1941. The average daily 

pumpage ranged from 5.18 million gallons in January to 8.26 million gallons 

in June.

The water levels in wells 1, 2, and 3 averaged about O.P foot lower 

in 1943 than in 1942, but 1.9 feet above the lowest reported average in 

1941. The average decline in water levels has not kept pace with the 

increase in pumpage, owing probably to the cumulative effects of excess 

precipitation during each of the years in the period 1940-43. The 

cumulative excess of precipitation above normal has been over 21 inches 

in the 4 years.

72 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATPS

Measurements in Oakland wells 1, 2, and 3 were made by members of the 

Department of Water Supply, Pontiac, H. L. Monroe, superintendent, H. W. 

MacDuff, chief engineer.

The average daily pumpage from the municipal wells in Pontiac during 

( 1P43 ranged from 6.98 million gallons in April to 8.59 million gallons in 

'August and averaged 7.£4 million gallons for the year. Of this, ?-44 

million gallons a day was pumped from wells of the Central or Walrut 

Street group and 4.20 million gallons from wells at the outlying ftations, 

including the East Boulevard station.

The average daily pumpage from the municipal wells in 1942 wes about 

7.07 million gallons, of which 3.59 million gallons was pumped from wells 

of the Walnut Street group. Thus, although the total pumpage increased 

about 8 percent in 1943, the pumpage from the Walnut Street group decreased 

about 4 percent. In spite of the decrease in pumpage at the Walnvt Street 

plant, the average water level in Oakland well 1 was 1.1 foot lower in 1943 

than in 1942, but it was about 1.85 feet higher in 1942 than in l£*l in 

spite of an increase in pumpage in 1942 at the plant. In Oakland well 2, 

however, which is also at the Walnut Street plant, the average water level 

was 0.5 foot higher in 1943 than in 1942. These facts would indicate that 

there was probably a lessening in the rate of decline in these two wells, 

owing, in part, to the above-normal precipitation during 1942 and 1943.

An average of about ?27,000 gallons a day was pumped at the East 

Boulevard station in 1943, as compared with about 450,000 gallons a day 

in 1942, a decrease of about 50 percent. Because of this decrease in 

pumpage and because of the above-normal precipitation, the water level 

averaged 1.1 feet higher in 194? than in 1942.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

By M. L. Brashears, Jr. 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Periodic measurements of water level by the Geological Survey, United 

States Department of the Interior, were begun In New Hampshire In October 

1942 vrlth the establishment of an observation well In the Town of Hill, 

Merrlmac County. This well Is about 2 miles south of Bristol, Grafton 

County, In the drainage basin of the Smith River. It Is In hilly country 

and penetrates relatively thin overburden but does not reach bedrock. 

Measurements were continued In this vrell In 1943 and vrere made about monthly. 

Two measurements were made in March and two In December, but none In April 

and October, so that the total for the year was 12. All the measurements 

that have been made are 'included In the present report. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations In the Bristol well appear to be caused by changes 

In precipitation and temperature. The slight gain in undergro'tnd storage 

during 1943, represented by a net rise In water level of about 0.6 foot, 

seems to be the result of the increased precipitation during the year, which 

at nearby Franklin was 41.62 inches, or 0.3 Inch greater than In 1942. The 

sharp rise In water level during March is attributable largely to temperatures sufficiently high to melt much of the snow cover, as the precipitation 

during the month was only two-thirds of normal. During May both precipitation and temperatures were above normal, but nevertheless ther«> was a sharp 

decline in water level, apparently caused by the greater amount of water 

consumed by plants, whose growth was rapidly accelerated by th« greater 

precipitation and higher temperature.

NEW JERSEY

By G. D. DeBuchananne and J. M. Ludlow 

PROGRAM OF WORK

Investigations of the ground-water resources of New Jersey were continued In 1945 In cooperation with the New Jersey State Water Policy 

Commission. It consists, In a large part, of quantitative studies of these 

resources in selected areas (see fig. 8 ). In connection with these Investigations measurements are made periodically of the water level In 

selected observation wells. About 3,500 measurements of water level were 

made during 1948, and at the end of the year 190 wells were being observed. 

Measurements were made monthly or less frequently In some of the wells, 

biweekly In some, weekly In some, and at least twice a day In one. Continuous records from water-stage recorders were obtained for 49 wells during the year. The State and Federal governments owned and operated 41 of 

these recorders; the other 7 being owned by municipalities, private watersupply companies, or industries.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The precfjaitatlon In the State during 1943 averaged 6.70 Inches below 

normal, May and October being the only months with precipitation above 

normal. Consequently many water-table wells, even those not affected by 

pumping, showed unusually low levels during the year.

The Morrell well (29.11.1.2.3), a shallow well near Old Bridge, 

Middlesex County, is considered one of the best indices of ground-water 

storage for this general region. The hydrograph for this well Indicated 

relatively low ground-water storage until the end of September. The well 

is not affected by pumping and the loss in ground-water storage must have 

been due to the combined effects of the subnormal precipitation and the 

heavy seasonal demands of vegetation. In October the precipitation was 

3.90 Inches above normal, and the hydrograph showed a very sharp rise to 

about the level at the beginning of the year. The ground-water storage

remained about normal for the remainder of the year.

HEW JERSBT. 83

In Middlesex County 10 wells showed new record low water levels during 1943. All of these wells tap the Old Bridge sand member of the Rarltan 

formation. These record low levels are probably due to unusually heavy 

pumping from wells that tap this sand at the Duhernal Water Stpply and at 

the Perth Amboy Water Department. Although moat of the lows occurred at 

the end of the summer, the deficiency of rainfall was not gre->t enough to 

cause record laws In adjacent areas not affected by pumping.

Three observation wells In Middlesex County showed reoorl high water 

levels during the year. All of these wells tap the Farrinfgtoi sand member 

of the Raritan formation. The record high pressures In this sand were 

caused by a reduction of pumping at the Industrial plants In the Parlln 

area. This reduction was made up by an increase in pumpage f ">ra wells 

tapping the Old Bridge sand at the Duhernal Water Supply. This shift in 

pumpage from one sand to the other was made to retard the salt-water encroachment in the Earrington sand.

In Salem County the water levels in SI wells reached ne-» low stages 

in 1943. Ten of these are within the influence of municipal and industrall pumping, and the low levels are due, in part at least, to pumpage. 

The low levels in the other 11 wells are believed to be due to deficiencies 

in precipitation and recharge, as they are located beyond the influence of 

pumpage.

Eight wells In Salem County reached record high levels diring the early 

part of the year. These high levels were probably due to the above-normal 

precipitation during the fall and winter of 194S.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The compound numbers of the wells in the New Jersey section of this 

and previous reports of this series are descriptive numbers, rather than 

serial numbers, because they indicate the location of each well. This 

system of location numbers has been used in New Jersey since about 1910 

and is based upon the State topographic atlas sheets. It was adapted to 

fit these maps by Dr. H. B. Kflmmeli/who was then the State Geologist, and

.!/ Kflmmel, H. B., Annual administrative report of the St^te Geologist 

for the year 1911s Hew Jers«y Geol. Survey Bull. 6, pp. 13-17, 1912.
84 WATER IEVBLS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATFS

2/ follows in a general way the pattern suggested by Professor Kemp ' of Columbia for use with the Survey topographic maps. Under this system e^ch of 

the five numbers that make up the composite well number refers to a specific 

area and each successive number refers to a small part of the area defined 

by the preceding number.

The first number is that of the atlas sheet on which the well location 

may be found. Lines showing latitude and longitude are engraved on these 

sheets at 2-minute intervals so that they are divided into 2-minute rectangles. For the purpose of the location numbering system, the atlas sheets 

are divided into 6-minute rectangles, and a number is assigned to each of 

these divisions. The second number refers to the 6-minute rectangle in 

which the well is located.

From this point on the system follows that suggested bv Professor 

Kemp. In each 6-minute rectangle there are nine 2-minute rectangles which 

are numbered from 1 to 9, beginning in the upper left-hand corner and 

numbering to the right, 4 being on the left under 1, and 7 under 4. The 

third number in the compound well number refers to the 2-minute rectangle 

in which the well is located. For greater accuracy each of the 2-minute 

rectangles is divided into nine equal rectangles which are similarly 

numbered. These divisions are again divided into nine equal rectangles and 

again numbered in the same way. The fourth and fifth numbers in the cowpound well number refer to these subdivisions of the 2-minute rectangles.

The smallest subdivision is a rectangle about 330 by 440 yards, so 

that it rarely happens that two wells are located in the same small rectangle on the map. If it should occur, they are given letters in our 

well-numbering system. In writing location numbers in the office, it is 

also the practice to draw a small rectangle after the last number and indicate thereon the position of the well in the smallest rectangle. Also, 

in practice, the 2-minute rectangles are not divided by'actually drawing 

lines on the map, but use is made of a transparent overlay on which the 

divisions_have been ruled.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

In the records of water le'vels obtained by tape measurements, the 

dates of measurements and the water levels are given. In the reccrds obtained from water-stage recorders, a single water level is given for each

day. An attempt has been made, however, to give the most significant daily 

level for each well. For wells in which the fluctuation is snail, the 

water level at the end of the day is given. For wells in which the daily 

fluctuations la large, due to nearby pumping or to tides, the lowest water 

level for each day is given. An exception is made of the Longport well 

(No. 36.23.1.9.6), in Atlantic City, for which the water level given for 

each day is the average of the two high and the two low levels caused by 

tides on that day.

NEW YORK 

GBHTRAL HKW YORK 

By Gordon R. Ayer 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The periodic observation of water levels In a few wells in the central 

part of the State of New York, begun in connection with a study made to 

determine the effects of reforestation on stream flow, was continued in 

1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, 

in cooperation with the New York State Department of Conservation, At the 

end of the year seven wells were under observation four in Cortland County, 

two in Chenango County, and one in Delaware <founty.

Weekly measurements of water level in all the wells were obtained, 

but the records of only four of them are presented in this report. These 

four wells are equipped with automatic water-atage recorders, which are 

inspected weekly by local observers and frequently, also, between the weekly inspections, by an engineer of the Geological Survey. During the year 

251 measurements were obtained in the four wells. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

An earlier report discusses briefly the topography and geology of the 

three areas in central New York in which observation wells are situated, 

especially as regards their effect on ground-water conditions. (S*e WaterSupply Paper 886, p. 468.) Of the four well records included in the present 

report, that of Shackham Brook well 1, in Cortland County, best reflects 

the effect of cllaatologic variations on the fluctuations of water level 

in these areas. The year 1943 was characterized by above-normal precipitation in the late spring, with the result that the water levels w«re fairly steady up to June 15 and somewhat above their stages duping the corresponding period in each of the preceding three years, especially in May and 

early June. A dry period during the early summer caused them to decline

134
NEW YORK, CHENAKGO COUNTY 135

steadily until mid-August, when heavy rains brought partial recovery to all 

wells. Another dry spell, which began early In September, caused the water 

levels again to decline rapidly, until lows for the year In practically all 

wells were reached In mid-October. In the latter part of October, howsvsr, 

heavy precipitation caused the levels to rlss considerably, so that by midDecember they were about normal once more In all wells. This relief continued for a short tlire only, and soon the water levels began tc decline 

and declined so rapidly that by December 31 all wells showed calendar-year 

losses averaging more than a foot. Temperatures for the year averaged 

about the same as for 1942 except In October, which was slightly colder, 

and In the first part of November, which was somewhat warmer than the first 

part of November in the preceding year.

None of the wells is affected by pumping or by any other act of man.

158 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, NORTHEASTERN STATFS

LONG ISLAND 

By M. L. Brashears, Jr.

The Investigation of ground-water conditions on Long Island w^s continued during 1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of 

the Interior, In cooperation with the New York State Water Power and Control Commission, tiie Nassau County Department of Public Works, the Suffolk 

County Board of Supervisors, and also the Suffolk County Water Authority. 

A part of the ground-water Investigation consisted of periodic measurements 

of water levels in a large number of observation wells scattered throughout 

the four counties on Long Island, in the area lying west of Mvertoead. 

During the year, water-level measurements were continued In about 200 we'lls, 

about 20 of which were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. In 

addition, measurements were begun in about 25 wells, some of which were 

Installed by the Geological Survey.

The following tables summarize the data pertaining to ground-w«ter 

levels for Long island. The comparative data is given In terms of mean sea 

level only.

On Long Island there are a number of water-bearing beds that yield 

large supplies of water to wells that tap them. There are five arore or 

less well recognized water-bearing zones. The upper and most productive
NEW YORK, LONG ISLAND 143

consists of extensive beds of glacial outwash which, in most places, are 

not overlain with impervious material. The second zone, the Jameco gravel, 

also a glacial outwash deposit, is distributed only around the borders of 

the island and is usually covered by the Gardiners clay. The third and 

fourth zones consist of widespread Cretaceous beds of supposed Magothy age. 

The third zone lies in the upper part of^the Magothy deposits and generally 

consists of coarse sand. In the center of the island these sends are open 

to the overlying glacial outwash, whereas around the borders of the island 

they are covered by either the Gardiners clay or the Jameco gravel. The 

fourth sore lies in the lower part of the Magothy beds, consists of coarse 

sand and gravel, and is generally overlain by beds and lenses of clay distributed within the Magothy deposits. The fifth and lowermost zone, the 

Lloyd sand, lies just above the bedrock floor of the island ard is generally 

covered by beds of Raritan clay. The Lloyd sand, also of Cretaceous age, 

consists of beds of sand and gravel which extend throughout much of Long 

Island.

The upper glacial beds constitute a reservoir in which Isrge quantities of water are stored and into which water provided by precipitation 

can readily sink. As a result, the water table in these beds responds 

more or less rapidly to changes in the rate of precipitation. In contrast, 

the deeper sands that lie beneath clay beds are under artesiar pressure 

and are fed at a more or less constant rate by water percolating down 

through relatively small intake areas, from the overlying fonritions. The 

safe yield of the upper glacial beds is governed more or less by the average rate of precipitation, whereas that of the deeper sands is limited by 

the capacity of the beds to transmit water from the areas of Intake to 

points of withdrawal. Because of these features the movement of water 

levels in wells that penetrate the deeper sands is controlled chiefly by 

changes in rate of withdrawal.

The relation between precipitation and the fluctuation of water levele 

has been discussed at considerable length by Leggette and by Jacob and 

the effect of ground-water withdrawal on water levels in deep wells has 

been reported by Leggette.

Generally speaking, Long Island may be divided into two hydrologic 

provinces. At the western end of the Island excessive pumping for a number 

of years has lowered the water table below sea level in a large area in 

Kings County and adjacent parts of Queens County. At places, the bottom of 

the depression in the water table lies as much as 30 feet below man sea 

level, with the water level in pumping wells being at even greater depths. 

In the other parts of the island the perennial recharge exceeds ground-water 

withdrawals with the result that the water table stands above sen level 

except at a few places along tho shore where local overdevelopment hats 

occurred. In the higher parts of the Island the water table stands as much 

as 80 feet above mean sea level. In the overdeveloped area at the western 

end of Long Island, the water table responds more or less rapidly to changes 

in the distribution of pumping and also the over-all rate of withdrawal, 

whereas in the other parts of the Island the major fluctuations of the 

ground-water level are chiefly the result of differences in amount and distribution of precipitation.

Prior to 1942, water levels in Kings County had progressively declined 

for a number of years as the result of excessive pumping. In 19*2, however, 

the trend of water levels was reversed and a general rise occurred, particularly in the center of the overpumped area. The upward trend of the water 

table continued in 1943, indicating & net decline in over-all punpage and 

the establishment of a more favorable relationship between ground-water 

recharge and withdrawal in Kings County. However, water levels are still
NEW YORK, LONG ISLAND 145

far below sea level over a large area and salt water continues to flow 

inland from the bodies of sea water surrounding Kings County.

Although many of the wells are affected to a considerable degree by 

pumping from nearby wells, the records given in the preceding tables show 

in a general way the extent of the recovery of water levels in the past 

2 years. Observations were begun in some of the wells as early as 1932. 

Additional wells have been installed each year since then, with about half 

of the wells having been installed since 1939. The first table shows that 

the lowest observed water level since the start of record in most of the 

observation wells occurred in the latter part of 1941 or the' e^rly part of 

1942, indicating a continued decline even for the wells installed as early 

as 1932 and 1933. Further, it will be noted that the highest observed 

water level in wells installed previous to 1939 occurred relatively soon 

after measurements were begun, whereas the highest water level for a majority of the wells installed since 1939, was recorded in 1943. It will appear, 

therefore, that, in general, the water table has recovered to approximately 

its stage in 1939. Further evidence regarding the recovery is indicated 

by the record for well K30, a well which is situated near the bottom of the 

water-table depression and on which a water-stage recorder has been operated 

since 1935. The lowest water level for this well, 29.75 feet below mean 

sea level, was recorded in November 1941. At the end of 1943, the water 

level was 27.51 feet below mean sea level, a net rise of over 2 feet, more 

than half of which occurred in 1943. At the end of 1943, the water level 

in well K30 was higher than any preceding year-end stage since 1935. The 

second of the preceding tables indicates equally favorable conditions. As 

shown, a net rise occurred in all but three of the wells in 19*3, the rises 

ranging up to as much as 1.7 feet. Similar rises occurred in the wells in 

Queens County that are adjacent to the overpumped area in Kings County.

Elsewhere on Long Island, where the perennial recharge exceeds groundwater withdrawals, the trend of the water table was not well defined. 

During the year, the precipitation was several inches below normal and 

about 9 inches less than In 1P42. in the western part of Long Island the 

precipitation for the entire year, 40.5 inches at Mew York Cit^, was only 

slightly greater than In the eastern part of the Island, 39.6 Inches at 

Setauket, but during the last half of the year It was greater In the western
146 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

part by more than 5 Inches. Further, the rate of precipitation varied considerably from month to month, ranging at Setauket from 1.5 Inches in April 

to 10.1 Inches In June, and at New York City, from 9.2 inches in October to 

1.4 Inches In December. Because of the unequal distribution of rainfall, 

which favored the western part of the Island during the last half of the 

year and also because of antecedent rainfall conditions, most of the wells 

In Suffolk County showed a net decline in 1943, whereas a net rise of 

water level occurred in most of the observation wells in Nassau Caunty. 

During the year, the water level in many wells In Suffolk County afaich have 

been measured for only a year or two reached the lowest stage for the 

period of record.

OHIO

By E. J. Schaefer 

PhOORAM OF WOhK

Ground-water investigations in Ohio were continued in 194^ by the 

Geological Survey, U. S. Department of the Interior, in cooperation with 

the Ohio Engineering Experiment Station, the Boards of Commissioners of 

Butler and Hamilton Counties, and the Federal Works Agency. 0-e report, 

"A quantitative study of the well field of the Mill Creek Valley watersupply project, Butler County, Ohio", by Fred H. Klaer, Jr. an-* Raphael 

Q. Kazmann, was released in 1943 in mimeographed form by the Geological 

Survey. This report describes the ground-water resources of the Miami 

Valley immediately south of Hamilton, where a well field has b^en operated 

by the Federal Works Agency since July 1945 to supply water to the Wright 

Aeronautical Corporation plant in Hamilton County.

At the end of the year a total of 116 observation wells w«re being 

measured in Ohio. Of this total, 102 wells are located in Butler and

Hamilton Counties and 14 wells are located in the larger communities in i

other parts of the State. A total of 12,775 individual measurements of 

ground-water levels were made during the year; 12,047 in Butler and 

Hamilton Counties and 728 throughout the rest of the State. Continuous 

records of water level were obtained by means of automatic water-stage 

recorders from 18 wells in Eutler and Hamilton Counties and from 8 wells 

in other parts of the State. Water-level records outside of Hamilton and 

Butler Counties were obtained in financial cooperation with th«* Ohio 

Engineering Experiment Station. This program included maintenance of. 

automatic water-stage recorders on wells at Canton, Columbus, Dayton, Mansfield, Marietta, Massillon, and Zanesville.

216 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The average total precipitation for Ohio, as determined by the United 

States Weather Bureau, amounted to 35.54 inches for the year, 2.55? inches 

below normal. In most areas, however, conditions were favorable for recharge in the first 6 months of the year because of heavy precipitation in 

several of these months. Most of the alluvial aquifers bordering the 

principal streams of the State received considerable recharge from floods 

occurring at the beginning of the year.

In general, substantial rises occurred In observation wells during 

the first 6 months of the year where pumping was not excessive but declined 

during the serious drought prevailing throughout most of the S^ate In the 

last half of the year.

The following paragraphs summarize the trends of ground-winter levels 

in the areas where observation wells were measured in 1943 under the 

direction of the U. S. Geological Survey and cooperating agencies.

Butler and Hamilton Counties

Precipitation at the Abbe Observatory Station of the Onited States 

Weather Bureau in Cincinnati during 1943 amounted to 32.04 inches, 6.51 

inches below average. Precipitation was below average oil months of the 

year except March, May, and July. The greatest amount of precipitation 

for any one month 6.46 inches, 2.57 inches above average occurred in 

March.

Middletown area

In Mlddletown water levels in the shallow beds reached record high 

levels in March and April. However, because of the severe drcnght beginning in August and continuing through the end of the year, water levels 

were again near their record lows by the end of the year.

Hamilton area

Observation wells in the southern part of the city of Hamilton, In an 

area where the effect of pumping is slight, indicate that recharge In the 

late winter and spring months was about equal to that received In the 

spring of 19?9, and slightly more than In 1940. Water levels in these 

wells throughout the year were generally higher than for corre-»pordlng 

periods in 1941 and 1942. A steady drop in water levels occurred through 

the last half of the year, although at the end of the year the? were atill 

slightly higher than at the beginning.
OHIO 217

In the heavily pumped areas In Hamilton, water levels In observation 

wella were generally slightly lower at the end of the year than rt the beginning of the year. At the Hamilton waterworks, about a mile northeast of 

the city Halts, the water level In well 85-7, in the city well field, 

reached a record high stage in the spring but because of drought during 

the last half of the year and a probable increase in pumping, reached a 

record low stage near the end of the year 7 feet lower than at the beginning of the year.

Miami Valley immediately south of Hamilton

In the Miami Valley, immediately south of Hamilton, an average oT 7.5 

million gallons a day was pumped by the Federal Works Agency, from July 

to the end of the year, to supply the Wrlght Aeronautical Corporation 

plant at Lockland.

Recharge In this area in the late winter and spring of 1945 was about 

equal to that received In 1P59 but somewhat greater than in 1S40. It was 

considerably greater than in 1P41 and 1942. However, water levels were 

slightly lower at the end of this period of recharge than in 193? and 

1940 because of exceptionally low stages"existing at the beginning of the 

year. In the immediate vicinity of the wells pumped by the Federal Works 

Agency, water levels in four observation wells, for which measurements are 

available for the entire year, were from 2.2 feet to ?.9 feet lo^er at the 

end than at the beginning of the year. Water levels in four observation 

wells immediately south of Hamilton and outside the effect of punplng from 

the Federal Works Agency wells, were from 0.6 foot lower to 5.9 feet higher 

at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year.

Mill Creek Valley

Throughout most of the Mill Creek Valley, from the Hamilton County 

line to Ivorydale, near the north corporation limits of Cincinnati, steady 

declines in ground-water levels In the deeper beds have taken place since 

1958. At the end of 1945 the piezometric surface along a general northsouth line through the valley followed a slight down-gradient from the 

divide area near Flockton, in Butler County, to Kemper Road, abo-^t a mile 

south of the Butler-Hamilton county line. Here a sharp break do-mward 

occurs because of pumping from wells owned by the village of Olendale, a
218 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

short distance to the south. Continuing south the gradient dro~>s steeply 

to Reading, the total drop between Kemper Road and Reading, a distance of 

about 4 miles, amounting to about 110 feet. Prom Reading south to Ivorydale, a distance of about 5 miles, there was an additional drop of about 

?0 feet.

Water levels declined appreciably throughout most of the valley during 

1943. The exceptions were at the Wright Aeronautical Corporation and the 

Gardner-Richardson plants at Lockland. At the Wright plant, th* water 

level in well 216-E, rose about 15 feet from the end of May to mid-November, 

ae a result of a complete shutdown of the wells at the Wright plant following completion of the Mill Creek Valley water-supply project which was constructed by the Federal Works Agency to supply water to the Wright plant. 

Pull recovery from this pumping seems to have taken place in well 216-E 

by mid-November, the record showing a slight downward trend frcm that time 

to the end of the year. Notwithstanding this recovery, the water level 

remained about 22 feet lower than in April 1941 when the well was first 

measured.

The slight upward trend for most of the year, shown by. the record for 

well 241-3 at the Gardner-Richardson plant, resulted from a reduction in 

pumping in the immediate vicinity of this well.

The water level at the village of Wyoming waterworks, as shown by 

the record for well 237-3, declined about 8.9 feet in 1943. A similar 

trend is shown ty the record for well 236-4, about 0.4 mile north of the 

Wyoming waterworks, where the decline amounted to 8.5 feet during the year.

The water level in well 252, at Carthage, declined 1.6 feet during 

1943.

At Ivorydale the water level in one pumping well, measure*? in 

December 1943, was within 13 feet of the rock floor. Water levels in wells 

265-5 and 270-T7, at Ivorydale, were about 4 feet and 3 feet lower, respectively, at the end of the year than at the beginning of thr year.
OHIO 219

FRANKLIN COUNTY 

Columbus

Wells in Columbus obtain water froir glacial deposits of s-and and 

gravel at depths of 100 feet or leas and fron. the Columbus anc1 other limestones at depths of from 200 to 400 feet. Large quantities of water are 

pumped in the central part of the city from wells ending in tie Columbus 

limestone. To check the type and magnitude of water-level flvctuations 

in the limestone in this area, an automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an unused well, 252 feet deep, in the Moores & Ross Dairy Co. 

garage at Ninth and Spring Streets, and has been in operation since April 

27, 1942.

Large seasonal declines in water level beginning late in April and 

ending late in September occurred in 1942 and 1943, and amounted to about 

14 feet in each year. Pull recovery from the 1942 decline was not 

attained during 1943, probably because of an increase in the rate of 

pumping in the area during the fall and winter of 1942 and 1943, as compared to the same months in 1941 and 1942. This is illustrated by the 

fact that the water level in the last week of April 1P43 was 4.9 feet 

lower than in the last week of April 1942. The water level at the end of 

1943 was 1.7 feet lower than at the end of 1942 and 7.6 feet lower than on 

April 27, 1942, when the automatic water-stage recorder was irstalled.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY 

Dayt on

Ground-water supplies in Dayton are obtained mainly from alluvial 

deposits of sand and gravel filling the pre-glacial valleys now occupied 

by the Mad and Miami Rivers. The best water-bearing materials are 

generally encountered at depths of "0 to 130 feet below the sxirface, although bedrock is known to be 200 feet or more below the surface in some 

places.

An automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an abandoned well 

at the steam distribution plant of the Dayton Power & Light Co. at 118 

East Fourth Street on May 27, 1942. This well is in the alluvium and is 

in the main business section of Dayton. Water-level fluctuations are 

caused by variations in precipitation and by pumping from wells used for 

air-conditioning and other pxirposes. Rises in the water level in this well
280 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STAGES

due to precipitation occurred principally in January, March, and May. 

The largest rise 2.5 feet between March 12 and March 25--was caused by 

moderately heavy precipitation on March 10, 11, 16, and 19. Vltfr the 

exception of a rise of 1,2 feet from precipitation in May, the water 

level in this well declined steadily from the end of March until the end 

of July, the total drop in this period amounting to 6.6 feet. It is believed that most of this decline was due to increased use of ground water 

for air-conditioning and cooling purposes during the summer montlm. Prom 

the end of July to the end of the year, the water level followed a wore 

or less level trend, indicating that pumping in the area had beer reduced 

to an amount appioximately equal to the recharge received during that 

period. The water level in this well was 2.4 feet lower at the end of the 

year than at the beginning of the year.

The municipal water supply for the city of Dayton is obtained from 

wells in the valley of the Mad River. Although the average pumpsge amounts 

to about 29 million gallons a day, as much as 52 million gallons has been 

pumped by the city in one day. Most of the city wells are locatrd on 

Rohrer's Island, several miles northeast of the city, where artificial 

recharge is obtained by diverting water from the Mad River throuph diversion 

channels into dredged areas on the island. Flow into the diversion channels 

is controlled by several gates constructed for the purpose. The effectiveness of this method of recharge is shown by the water-level record for 

Dayton well 2 for 1943. Prom September 1 to October 10, for instance, 

during a period of drought, the water level in Dayton well 2 was raised a 

total of 10.9 feet by introduction of water from the Mad River irto the 

flooding areas. At the end of 1943, despite the extreme drought prevailing during the l&st half of the year, the water level in this well was 

1.9 feet higher than at the end of 1942.

MUSKINODM COUNTY

Zanesvllle

An automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained on an observation well at 2anesville, in the city well field, since May 21, 1942. 

The city well field is located along the east bank of the Musklnj-um River, 

a short distance north of the city. The wells furnishing the cify supply 

obtain water from the sands and gravels filling the river valley. Recharge
OHIO 221

Is derived from direct precipitation in the area, from flood waters of the 

Muskingum, and probably from infiltration from the river induced by pumping of the city wella.

The water-level record for the Zaneaville observation well shows that 

large rises in water level occurred in the early part of January and 

throughout most of March. The largest rise in January amounted to 7.6 

feet, following moderately heavy precipitation in the latter part of 

December 1942.

Precipitation amounting to 4.91 inches in March resulted in a rise 

of 6.3 feet between March 7 and March 27. Precipitation amounting to 5.08 

inches in May, however, resulted in a rise of only S.6 feet, probably because of increased pumping and transpiration and evaporation losses. A 

rise of about 2.4 feet also occurred in September. However, since precipitation was negligible, it seems probable that this rise was due to 

a decrease in pulping from the city wells. The largest declines in water 

levels in the Zanesville well occurred in July and August and in November 

and December. At the end of 194? the water level in this well was 4.3 

feet higher than at the end of 1942.

HIGHLAND COUMTY

Mansfield

An automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an unused well at 

the old North Main Street pumping station of the Mansfield water department 

on May 5, 1942. Although the city no longer obtains water in this area, 

several industries pump large quantities.

The water-level record obtained from this well in 194? is characterized by relatively large dally and weekly fluctuatione in water level due 

to pumping. The daily fluctuations in 1943 usually ranged fronr less than 

1 foot to slightly more than 1 foot, the drawdown generally occurring 

between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and recovery generally occurred between 6 p.m. 

and 6.a.m. The weekly trend was usually downward from Monday through 

Saturday of each week, and substantial recovery occurred each w«ek-end. 

Weekly fluctuations generally ranged from about 1-jf to 3 feet, except at 

the ends of several weeks when periods of shutdown of wells in the area 

were longer than the normal week-end shutdowns. Recovery of more than 6 

feet, for instance, occurred when wells were shut down for the July 4th and 

Labor Day week ends.

222 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Since a record of purapage In the vicinity of the Mansfield observation 

well has not been obtained, Interpretation of the seasonal trend's ft water 

levels in this well Is difficult. The water level followed a downward 

trend until about March 18, an upward trend from then until July 2, and a 

downward trend for the rest of the year.

It seems probable that the rise during the spring was due, at least 

In part, to moderately heavy precipitation and that the drop during the 

last half of the vear was caused In great part by extreme drought conditions prevailing during that period. Although a record of water levels 

was not obtained during December, the trend at the beginning of December 

Indicates that the water level at the end of the year was about 5 feet 

lower than at the beginning of the year.

STARK COUNTY 

Canton

Ten wells In and near Canton were under observation In 1P4?:. Weekly 

measurements of water level In seven of these wells and dally measurements 

In one were made ty the Canton Water Department. In addition, one well, 

the Republic Steel Co.'s test well, was measured weekly by £. V. 

Eeftoulldes under the direction of the Geological Survey, and on another 

well, the Ohio Power Co.'s observation well, an automatic water-stage 

recorder was maintained by C. R. Phillips, under the direction of the 

Geological Survey,

In former reports of this series only monthly measurements were 

published for the Northeast well field observation well and the Goughnour 

observation well. However, it was found that weekly measurements of water 

level in the Goughnour well and dally measurements in the Northeast well 

field observation well had been made by the Canton Water Department for 

several years. Because of their importance, these records are given in 

full In this report.

Similarly, only weekly measurements of water level had been published 

for the Ohio Power Co'a observation well In previous years, although a 

continuous recorder record had been obtained. In this report daily readIngs taken from the recorder charts are given.
OHIO . 223

The Goughnour well Is located about ~l\ miles northeast of the Northeast well field of the Canton Water Department, at Trump, and about 0.35 

mile east of the Middle Branch of Nimishillen Creek in a preglacial valley 

filled with deposits of sand, gravel, and clay and trending north and 

slightly east from Canton.

While the water level in the Goughnour well may be affected by pumping 

at the Northeast well field, it is believed that the effect is slight and 

that the fluctuations of the water table shown by the water-level measurements made in this well are fairly representative of natural fluctuations 

of the water table in the area.

The record for the Goughnour well for 1943 indicates that underground 

storage in the area was increased mainly from the beginning of the year 

until about March 22. In that period the water level rose about 6.3 feet. 

A more or less steady decline occurred throughout the remainder of the year 

so that at the end of the year the water level was about 1.8 feet lower 

than at the beginning of the year.

The following table of pumpage for 1943 from wells in the Northeast 

well field of the Canton "Water Department is included to facilitate interpretation of the water-level record for the Northeast well field observation 

well and the water-level records included for the production wells in this 

field.

It should be noted that a steady decline in yield from these wells 

occurred throughout most of the last half of the year, although the water 

levels in the pumping wells and in the Northeast well field observation 

well were generally held higher throughout most of the first half of the 

year than in the last half of the year. This decline in yield coincides 

with falling water levels in the area, as shown by the water-level record 

for the Goughnour well.
224 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTER}! STATES

The water-level records for the Ohio Power Co.'s observatlor well and 

the Republic Steel Corporation's observation well, located about a mile 

apart within the city limits of Canton, each show a small net rise for the 

year. The water level In the Republic Steel Corporation's t»st r*ll was 

0.4 foot higher at the end of 1945 than at the beginning of the j-ear and 

In the Ohio Power Co.'s observation well it was 0.2 foot higher rt the end 

of the year than at the beginning of the year. Water-level meaex^rements 

have been made In both wells since 1939. Until 1943 both wells 1-^ve shown 

appreciable net declines for each year of record. The total decline In 

the Republic Steel Co.'s test well from January 1939 to the end of 1942 

amounted to 18.4 feet. The snail net rises In both wells In 1943 are 

probably attributable to increased recharge during the first half of the 

year and to a decrease in pumping by the Industries in the central and 

eastern parts of the city.

The water-level record for the Canton Water Department's Ninth Street 

well shows a net drop in water level of about 3 feet for 1943, as compared 

to a drop of 9 feet in 1942. The reduction In the rate of decline was 

probably due to a marked reduction in pumping from this well as compared 

to 1942. The total pumpage from this well for the entire year amounted 

to only 118.2 million gallons as compared to 680.1 million gallons in 1942.

Massillon

An automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained since June 1942 

on an unused well in the basement of the main office building of the 

Republic Steel Corporation. This well is located in the southern part of 

the city, slightly north of Oberlin Avenue about 0.1 mile west of the 

Tuscarawas River. Large quantities of water are pumped for Industrial 

purposes from the sands and gravels in this section of Massillon. However, 

the record obtained from the observation well Indicates that it is apparently unaffected by the pumping of any Individual well, although it is probably affected by the regional pumping In the area. The record also shews 

rises in water level during periods of heavy precipitation.
OHIO 2S5

In 1943 the water level in the Massillon observation well rose about 

5.1 feet from January through July. The largest individual rises occurred 

rather sharply in January, March, Jiine, and July. Each individual rise 

followed a period of heavy precipitation. A steady decline am-juntlng to 

about 3.5 feet took place during the remainder of the year. At the end of 

the year the water level in this well was 1.6 feet higher than at the 

beginning of the year.

WASHINGTON COUNTY 

Marietta

An automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained on a well at 

the rear of the Marietta Osteopathic Clinic, in the business section of 

Marietta,.since May 194S. This well penetrates the sands and gravels 

underlying most of Marietta. Although slightly affected in th-s summer 

months by pumping of an air-conditioning well at a nearby theatre, fluctuations of the water level in this well seem to be caused principally by 

variations in precipitation and by flood waters from the Muskingum River.

The water-level record for 1945 is featured by a sharp rise early 

in January resulting from flood waters which covered most of the business 

section of Marietta during the last few days in December 1942. Although 

the record for this period is incomplete, it indicates that th<3 rise amounted to more than 7 feet. Smaller rises from precipitation, ran-ring from 

about 0.5 foot to 3 feet, occurred in each of the first 5 months of the 

year. A decline of nearly 4 feet then occurred between June 1 and July 26. 

Except for August and November, the record is incomplete for the remainder 

of the year. However, measurements obtained throughout most of November 

show that an additional drop of slightly more than 0.5 foot toik place by 

the end of November, the end of the record for the year. . The water level 

at the end of November 1943 was 1.2 feet lower than at the end of November 

1942, indicating that the large ground-water storage accumulated during 

the December 194S flood had been lost during the drought perioi prevailing 

during the last half of 1943.

For record! of a well near Add!son, see the section on West Virginia 

in Water-Supply Paper 987, under Mason County. As the ground-wetter condition! In this area in Ohio are similar to those in the heavily pumped 

area directly across the Ohio River, in West Virginia, the record of fluctuations of water level in the Add!son well may aid in the interpretation 

of ground-water condition! in the West Virginia area on the opposite side 

of the river..

PENNSYLVANIA

By J. B. Graham 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements In observation wells In 

Pennsylvania, begun In 1931, was continued and enlarged In 1943 by the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, In cooperation 

with the Topographic and Geologic Survey of the Pennsylvania Department of 

Internal Affairs. The enlarged program provided for detailed studies of 

local ground-water problems In the State and establishment of an office 

In Philadelphia. The first problem to receive attention was that of 

conditions In the Philadelphia area. The Investigation of this area began 

In October with the establishment of observation wells In that part of the 

city known as south Philadelphia, which Includes the United States Bavy 

Yard.

About l,20r> measurements of water level, distributed among 56 wells, 

were made in the State during 1943. The measurements were made monthly 

In 4 wells, weekly in 22 wells, dally in 6 wells, and irregularly in 5 

wells. An automatic water-stage recorder, which supplies a continuous 

record, was maintained on 1 well Susquehanna County well 100, at Montrose 

 at which a rain gage was also maintained. Water is pumped da117 from 

five of the wells at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia and during dry periods 

from Luzerne County well 76, near Wapwallopen.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Precipitation is the predominant factor determining the fluctuations 

of water level In observation wells in Pennsylvania. Pumpage undoubtedly 

affects the six wells at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, however, as five 

are pumped daily, and it may affect somewhat three other wells, namely, 

Luzerne County well 76, near Wapwallopen, which is pumped during dry 

periods, ana Northumberland County well 57, at Sunbtiry, and Perry County 

well 61, at Newport. The two last-named wells are not pumped, but they are

in the immediate vicinity of wells that are pumped. 

276
Figure 9. Graphs showing average ground-water level and precip

comparison with previous years of re
276 WATER LEVEIS AND ISTESIAM PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN

Figure 9 shows the fluctuations of the weekly average of thr water 

levels In 1943 In all the observation wells In Pennsylvania exclurlve of 

those In Philadelphia, and the highest and lowest weekly averages prior td 

1943. The figure shows also the monthly precipitation In 1943 and th6| 

normal precipitation based on records over a period of 56 years. For this 

group of observation wells 1943 was the eleventh year of continuous 

measurement. Beginning In the first week of January with a record high, 

the weekly aveTage water level In 1943 fluctuated sharply until tl » last 

week of May. About the first of June began a decline, which continued 

steadily until October, when the stage reached was the lowest of the year. 

Late In October the average level rose sharply, and It continued to rise 

until the middle of November, after which It again declined and In December 

reached a stage about 5.5 feet below Its stage at the beginning of the 

year. The yearly average water level for 1943 was 1.29 feet higher than 

the average for 11 years of record.

The relation between the weekly averages of water level In 1943 and 

the monthly precipitation Is readily apparent from the graphs. Dirlng the 

year there were two periods in which the precipitation was considerably 

above normal the first In April and May and the second In October. Both 

coincide with periods In which there were pronounced Interruption'' In the 

over-all downward trend of the weekly average water level. The unusually 

high stages recorded early In 1943 for Pennsylvania wells were primarily 

the result of above-normal precipitation during the second half of 1942.

In the following table the average of the water levels In observation 

wells in Pennsylvania for each week In 1943 Is listed, with the n'Tivber cf 

wells on which each weekly average Is based. This number does not include 

any of the wells in Philadelphia.

290 WATER LEVELS AND AHTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Wayne County

83 (#817, p. 300; 845, p. 432; 886, p. 637; 906, p. 226; 936, p. 251), 

Near Hawley. Measurements discontinued after Sept. 26, 1942.
VERMONT

By M. L. Brashears, Jr.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Periodic measurements of water level by the Geological Survey, United 

States Department of the Interior, were begun In Vermont in October 1942 

with the establishment of a shallow observation well In the town of Middlesex, Washington County, near Wrightsville, which Is about 3 miles north of 

Montpelier. The well is In steeply sloping country to the west of the 

North Branch of WInooskI River. Although the well ends in unconsolidated 

material, outcrops In the vicinity indicate that the bottom of the well Is 

not far above bedrock. Measurements have been made about monthly since 

they were begun. This report lists all the measurements made so far 3 In 

1942 and 12 in 1943.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

As would be expected, the water level In the Wrightsville well appears 

to fluctuate with the precipitation. There was an Increase in ground-water 

storage in 1943, as shown by the net rise in water level of about 1.3 feet. 

(The water level on January 2, 1944, was 8.26 feet below land-surface datum) 

Precipitation at the nearby station at Northfield was above the normal of
