INTRODUCTION 

By 0. E. Heinzer and L. E. Wenzel

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground 

reservoirs in which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is 

stored to supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams 

during periods of fair weather. Water levels in wells register the 

stages of these natural reservoirs; they show the extent to which water 

supplies are depleted by drought or by heavy pumping for public waterworks, for irrigation, or for industrial uses and the extent to which 

they are replenished in seasons of abundant rainfall or melting snow. 

The changes in pressure recorded on flowing wells may indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

The regular publication of records of water levels and artesian 

pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1955, 

and from that year through 1939 one volume containing these data was 

published each year. The volumes were issued as Water-Supply Papers 777, 

817, 840, 845, and 886. This series of reports is in a sense an inventory, year by year, of the ground-water supplies of those parts of the 

country that it covers. The number of observation wells and the quantity 

of records on water levels and artesian pressure obtained from them have 

increased gradually from year to year. As a result it has been deemed 

advisable to publish the records for 1940 in six volumes, each volume 

containing records for one of the sections into which the United States 

has been divided. (See fig. 1.) The present volume covers the southcentral section and gives records of water level or artesian pressure in 

about 1,675 observation wells in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and 

Texas that were obtained by the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies. 

About 39 of these wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. 

For some wells for which records had not heretofore been published complete records of water levels are given in this report, including those 

for years before 1940. For wells whose previous records have been published, however, this volume gives only current records. If complete

descriptions of the wells were given in one of the previous reports, 

only the well numbers or the well numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given in this report. The report includes about 10,350 individual measurements of water level or artesian pressure.

The water levels in this report are given with reference to datum 

planes of different kinds. Some are given in depth below the measuring 

point that is, below the recognized reference mark, at or near the top 

of the well, from which the depth to water level is usually measured; 

and some are given in height above an assumed datum plane. As the measuring points on some of the wells were changed in 1940, the records may 

not be directly comparable with those in previous annual volumes, but 

changes in measuring points are recorded in this report. Water levels 

given in height above sea level or above assumed datum planes are generally comparable with those given in the previous volumes. Unless otherwise stated, the depth of wells is usually the measured depth below the 

measuring point.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this 

report are due Mrs. Charlotte P. Berger and Miss.es Dorothy M. Ireland 

and Ermelinda P. Mattera, who typed the offset copy; and to Rodney Hart,

GENERAL SUMMARY OP CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVEL IN 1940

IN THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PART OF THE UNITED STATES 

The precipitation in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas was above 

normal in 1940, but in Arkansas it was slightly below normal. Not all 

of the wells, however, had changes in water level that correspond to 

these moisture conditions. The fluctuations of water level and artesian 

pressure in observation wells depend upon many complex factors, such as 

the distribution and amount of precipitation, location of outcrop areas 

of the water-bearing formations, permeability and specific yield of the 

water-bearing materials, depth of the water table below the land surface, 

and proximity of the observation wells to areas of heavy withdrawals. 

Consequently, it is usually not possible to find a simple relation between the changes in water level or artesian pressure and the departures 

from normal precipitation. The fluctuations that occur in each observation well or group of similar wells must be studied separately in order
INTRODUCTION

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

country covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and 

artesian pressure in observation wells in 1940. The shaded section represents the part of the country covered by this volume.

to evaluate the effects of the many factors influencing them. It is not 

ordinarily possible to make general statements regarding changes in 

ground-water levels that will apply over large areas. The following 

summaries are taken chiefly from the interpretive texts of the several 

State sections in this volume. They note very briefly the changes in 

ground-water levels or artesian pressure that occurred in 1940 in the 

parts of the underground reservoirs in the south-central States that the 

observation wells tap.

Arkansas. There was a net decline in water level from the spring 

of 1939 to the spring of 1940 throughout most of the Grand Prairie region, 

but the decline ranged from only about 0.1 foot to 9 feet. The average 

net change in water level for the entire region was a decline of about 

0.5 foot. This is slightly less than the decline that occurred from the 

spring of 1938 to the spring of 1939.
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Nearly everywhere along the eastern and southern borders of the 

Grand Prairie region, and in small areas along the western border there 

was a decline in water level of one foot or more. In the interior part 

of the region, however, the decline was in no place as much as one foot. 

In a small area several miles north of Carlisle, and in a small area between Stuttgart and Ulm, the ground-water level rose one to two-tenths 

of a foot from the spring of 1939 to the spring of 1940. In general, 

the differences in the change of water level from place to place can be 

attributed to differences in quantity of water pumped from wells for 

irrigation in different parts of the region.

Louisiana. The ground-water level in Grant, La Salle, and Avoyelles 

Parishes, in central Louisiana, fluctuated through a range during 1940) 

that was comparable to that of 1939. The water levels in wells in or 

near Alexandria, in Rapides Parish, were, however, in general lower in 

1940 than in 1939.

In Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parishes, in southeastsrn Louisiana, 

water levels in wells in 1940 were 1 to 2.5 feet lower than in 1939. The 

decline apparently was caused by increased draft from wells for irrigation 

and by a prolonged period of dry weather.

Ample precipitation during the growing season of 1940 provided more 

water than usual for the rice fields in southwestern Louisiana. As a 

result the pumpage from wells was reduced and the lowest water levels 

recorded for the year were on the average about 9 feet above the lowest 

levels of 1939. At the end of 1940, the water levels were still approximately 3.5 feet above the levels at the end of 1939.

Oklahoma. Water levels in wells in the "Panhandle Beaver, Cimarron, 

and Texas Counties continued the gradual rise in 1940 that has been in 

progress since 1938. The average water level at the end of November 

1940 was 0.05 foot higher than in November 1939 and 0.10 foot higher than 

in November 1938. The rise has been most pronounced in Beaver County 

where the November averages for 1939 and 1940 were 0.16 foot and 0.30 foot, 

respectively, above the average for November 1938. In all three of the 

Panhandle Counties, the maximum fluctuations of water level for groups 

of wells have occurred in wells tapping water in the alluvium.
INTRODUCTION 5

Tejcaa. Water levels in wells tapping water in the Edwards limestone in Uvalde and Medina Counties were mostly lower at the end of 1940 

than at the end of 1939.

In Dimmit and Zavala Counties the water levels in most wells rose 

in >1940 to stages that were as high or higher than those observed in 1930. 

Large scale pumping- for irrigation in parts of these counties has been 

in progress for the last 21 years.

Water levels in wells in the Houston area declined rather persistently in 1940, probably owing to increased pumpage. Ground-water levels 

in the vicinity of Galveston also declined in the year.

Measurements made in approximately 600 observation wells in the 

High Plains indicate that in areas of heavy pumping for irrigation the 

net decline in water level during 1940 was greater than it was during 

1939. In areas beyong the influence of heavy withdrawals, the fluctuations in ground-water level were small.

The water levels in most wells in the vicinity of El Paso declined 

in 1940, chiefly because there was a considerable increase in pumpage 

during the year. The average decline in water level in 52 wells was 2.5 

feet.
ARKANSAS

GRAHD PRAIRIE REGION 

By D. G. Thompson and R. G. Kazmann

Measurements of depth to water level In wells In the Grand Prairie 

region, which comprises Arkansas County, large parts of Lonoke and 

Prairie Counties, and very small parts of Jefferson and Monroe Counties, 

Arkansas, were continued In 1940 by cooperative agreement between the 

Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station and the Federal Geological Survey. This Is the fourteenth successive year that measurements have been 

made In this region, the first measurements having been made by the 

Federal Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological 

Survey, in September 1927. The work of measuring the wells was done by 

employees of the Agricultural Experiment Station under the general supervision of Prof. Deane G. Carter and under the immediate direction of Kyle 

Engler and L. C. Carter. As in past years, T. J. Fricke, engineer of the 

Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, has cooperated informally in the wellmeasurement program and In the study and Interpretation of the field 

records.

Water-Supply Paper 777 contains records of 18 wells from the beginning 

of measurements, in 1927 or 1928, through 1935; Water-Supply Paper 840 contains the complete records of 16 additional wells; Water-Supply Paper 845 

contains the complete records of 5 additional wells; and Water-Supply 

Paper 886 contains the complete records of 11 additional wells; the present 

report contains the measurements of these wells made during 1940, with 

the complete record from the beginning of observations through 1940, of 

31 additional wells a total of 81 wells.

As stated In the earlier reports just mentioned, the trend of water 

level or artesian head In the Grand Prairie region from year to year may 

be determined by annual measurements made once a year as 16te as possible 

In the spring but before pumping for rice Irrigation begins. Accordingly, 

for most of the wells In most years only a single measurement, In the spring, 

has been made. Measurements made in the fall, after the Irrigation season 

has ended, give some suggestion as to the effects of pumping during the 

previous summer; but, because local Irregularities due to pumping during

6
ARKANSAS 7

the summer have not been smoothed out, they are not so conclusive as 

the measurements made during the following spring. For well 280, which 

is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder, measurements are 

given of the depth to water level whenever the recorder charts were changed, 

which was generally at weekly intervals. A continuous record of the 

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

1928. In the fall of 1940 several wells were measured several times, and 

these frequent measurements give some indication of the rate of recovery 

of the water level in wells after the close of the irrigation season.

As described in previous reports, the water level in all wells in the 

Grand Prairie region fluctuates at times as much as 0.8 foot in 24 hours 

and more than 1 foot in a few days as a result of changes in atmospheric 

pressure. To make accurate comparisons of the water level on corresponding dates in different years, corrections for fluctuations of atmospheric 

pressure must be made by comparing the pressures, as determined from 

barograph records at some place nearby, at the time of measurement in 

successive years. Messrs. Engler and Pricke have made such corrections 

for about 350 wells that were measured by them in the spring of 1939 and 

1940, and on the basis of the corrected data have prepared a map of the 

Grand Prairie region showing lines of equal change in water level between 

the measurements. The map shows that a net decline in water level took 

place throughout most of the region, and the amount of change in level 

ranged from only about 0.1 foot to 9 feet. The average change in level for 

the entire region was about 0.5 foot. This is slightly less than the 

change from the spring of 1938 to the spring of 1939. It is believed to 

be due, at least in part, to the fact that the area irrigated by water 

from the Pleistocene beds was almost 15,000 acres less in 1939 than in 

1938; and the quantity of water taken from the beds was about 28,000 

acre feet less.

In general, the differences in decline from place to place can be 

attributed in large part to differences in quantity of water pumped for 

irrigation in different parts of the region; except that the greatest 

differences, which occurred in the extreme southeastern part of the 

region, probably are due to differences in the stage of White River on the 

dates of measurement |of the wells in 1939 and 1940. Nearly everywhere 

along the eastern and southern borders of the'region, and in small areas
8 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

along the western border there was'a decline of one foot or more. In the 

interior part of the region, however, the decline apparently was generally 

not as great as it was from the spring of 1938 to the spring of 1939. In 

no place in the interior was it as much as one foot. Declines of eight or 

nine tenths of a foot occurred in a small area near Olena, another small 

area southwest of DeWitt, and a narrow, elongated area extending from a 

locality about five miles east of Stuttgart northeastward for several 

miles. None of these areas coincide with areas of considerable decline 

in the previous year. The water level in observation wells, corrected for 

barometric differences in the two years, apparently was one to two-tenths 

of a foot higher in the spring of 1940 in a small area several miles 

northeast of Carlisle, and in a small area between Stuttgart and Ulm. In 

the last year or two a considerable acreage in the vicinity of the latter 

area has been irrigated from surface reservoirs, and the rise in water 

level, though small, may reflect a decrease in pumpage of ground water.

It is believed that originally, in practically the whole region, the 

so-called shallow or Pleistocene water-bearing beds were completely

saturated and the water was under artesian pressure. In a preliminary

I/ 

report on the Grand Prairie region, made public in 1931, it was stated

that by the spring of 1929 the water level had declined so much that the 

upper part of the water-bearing beds had been drained in several areas 

that totaled about 100 square miles, or about 64,000 acres. It was estimated that at least 220,000, and perhaps more than 335,000, acre-feet of 

water had been removed from storage. On the basis of well logs and other 

data, Mr. Engler determined that by the spring of 1939 the area in which 

the upper part of water-bearing beds had been drained had enlarged to Include a very large part of prairie, except only areas near the border of 

the Grand Prairie. The total area In which drainage is believed to have 

occurred by 1939 was about 319,000 acres, and by the spring of 1940, it 

is estimated to have been about 330,000 acres.

On the basis of the computed decline of water level throughout the 

region, and assuming an average figure for the specific yield, Mr. Engler 

estimated the quantity of water withdrawn from storage in the region. When 

this is deducted from estimated total pumpage, the resulting figure is the

quantity believed to have moved underground to the wells from areas of 

recharge, which, as stated in the 1931 report, are all believed to be outside the Grand Prairie region. The quantity of recharge "by inflow determined on the basis of the, decline in water level in 1939-1940 was estimated 

to be about 140,000 acre-feet* This is less than the preliminary estimate 

of safe yield of the water-bearing beds which, in the 1931 report, was 

given as between 150,000 acre-feet and 175,000 acre-feet of water annually. 

Similar computations based on the decline from the spring of 1939 to the 

spring of 1940 gave a figure for inflow very nearly equal to that for the 

previous period.

In order to check this estimate by another method in the winter of 

1938-1939 Mr. Engler made several pumping tests to determine the coefficient of permeability of the water-bearing beds. Additional tests were 

made in the winter of 1939-40 and 1940-41; and further tests will be made 

in the winter of 1941-42. L. K. Wenzel, of the Geological Survey participated in the tests of 1939-40, and R. G. Kazmann in those of 1940-41. 

Computations of inflow based on the coefficients of permeability give 

results closely comparable to those determined by the drained area method. 

They all suggest that the safe yield of the Pleistocene water-bearing beds 

may be sufficient to irrigate only between 60,000 and 70,000 acres of 

rice instead of between 100,000 and 117,000 acres of rice originally estimated in the report of 1931. This is based on the assumption that the 

average requirement for rice is 1.8 acre-feet of water.

As pointed out in Water-Supply Paper 845, a study of water-level 

measurements obtained in the fall of 1938 shows that the water is moving 

toward the Grand Prairie region from rather distant localities to the west, 

northwest, and north of the region. Furthermore, in the rice-growing 

territory north of the Grand Prairie region the water level has declined 

somewhat as a result of pumping. If there should be a considerable increase in the acreage irrigated in this northern territory, with a consequent increase in consumption of ground water, the inflow from this 

direction into the Grand Prairie region would probably decrease, and the 

ultimate safe yield would be even less than the estimate given above. 

The consumption of ground water from the Pleistocene beds must be reduced 

greatly if the slow but continual decline in water level is to be stopped.

Water levels In the following wells are given in feet below the 

measuring points either described in the present report, or, for wells 

the records of which have been previously published, as described in 

Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886.

Unless otherwise stated the measuring points for the following wells 

are either as given in the original published description or in the last 

amended statement published in footnotes in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, 845, or 886. Where measuring points have been changed, corrections 

for the change in altitude have not been made. None of the depths to water 

level have been corrected for barometric fluctuations.

LOUISIANA.

By J. C. Maher and T. B. Stanley, Jr.

Periodic measurements of water level and artesian pressure in observation wells in Louisiana were continued in 1940 as a part of the cooperative 

ground-water investigations by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

Louisiana State Department of Conservation. At the end of the year 

observations were being made on 117 wells in 18 parishes (see fig._2_). At 

the beginning of the year 116 wells in 10 parishes were under observation. 

The 18 parishes include Acadia, Alien, Avoyelles, Bienville, Calcasieu, 

East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Grant, Jefferson 

Davis, LaSalle, Livingston, Horehouse, Rapides, Tangipahoa, St. Tammany, 

and Washington. Measurements were made weekly in 4 wells in Alexandria 

(Rapides Parish) and in 2 wells in Baton Rouge (East Baton Rouge Parish); 

biweekly in 13 wells in Grant, LaSalle, and Rapides Parishes; and monthly 

in 21 wells in Acadia, Alien, Evangeline, and Jefferson Davis Parishes. 

Water-stage recorders were operated on 4 wells in East Baton Rouge Parish, 

on 4 wells in Rapides Parish, on 2 wells in Alien Parish, and on 1 well 

in each of Acadia, Calcasieu, and Morehouse Parishes. Other observation 

wells were measured at irregular intervals. Approximately 1,325 individual measurements of water level were made in the observation wells in 

1940. Most of the measurements were made by employees of the Federal 

Geological Survey, but some were supplied by E. J. Cheney, Superintendent 

of the Lake Providence water works. The records from a water-stage recorder 

operated on well Al-29, at Elizabeth, were obtained through the cooperation 

of I/If. E. Emigh of the Calcasieu Sulphate Paper Company.

In January 1940 Geological Bulletin 17 of the Louisiana State Department of Conservation, entitled "Ground-water resources of Rapides Parish, 

Louisiana" was published. This was followed by a geological pamphlet on

\J Maher, J. C., Preliminary report on ground-water conditions at 

Alexandria, Louisiana: La. Dept. Cons. Geol. Pamph. 2, 1940.

ground-water conditions at Alexandria, and two articles In the Louisiana

Conservation Review. A report on the ground-water resources of Grant and 

LaSalle Parishes was sent to press In December to be published as a geological bulletin of the Louisiana Department of Conservation. In September 

detailed field Investigations were completed in Jefferson Davis and Acadia 

Parishes, which comprise the principal rice-Irrigation area of the State, 

and a report on this area Is now In preparation. A study of the potential 

ground-water supply In the industrial area of Baton Rouge, where increasingly heavy pumpage has created a serious problem, was begun in 1940 and 

will be continued in 1941.

NORTHERN LOUISIANA

Pour observation wells were established In northern Louisiana in 

1940 at Lake Providence (East Carroll Parish), Bastrop (Morehouse Parish), 

Gibsland (Blenvllle Parish), and Arcadia (Blenville Parish). The wells 

tap artesian water In sands of the Eocene series at depths from 470 to 

655 feet. An automatic water-stage recorder was installed on the well at 

Bastrop, where heavy pumpage for paper mills Is reported to have caused 

the water levels to decline considerably.

CENTRAL LOUISIANA

Observations were continued In 1940 on 49 wells in Rapldes, Grant, 

LaSalle, and Avoyelles Parishes. A total of 553 measurements of water 

levels were made in 35 wells in Rapides Parish; 172 measurements were 

made in 10 wells In Grant Parish; 78 measurements were made In 3 wells 

in LaSalle Parish, and 1 measurement was made in 1 well in Avoyelles 

Parish.

The water, levels In wells in Grant, LaSalle, and Avoyelles Parishes 

during 1940 were at stages comparable with those recorded in 1939. The 

consumption of ground water in these parishes is very small compared to 

,that in Rapides Parish.

Rev., spring Issue, 1940.
LOUISIANA 25

The water levela in wella in or near Alexandria, in Rapides Pariah, 

continued to show considerable fluctuation due to pumpage for municipal 

and industrial purposes. The water levels of the -principal water-bearing 

Band, the "1,000-foot sand", were in general lower in 1940 than in 1939. 

The average of the weekly water levels in well 26, near the Monroe Street 

pumping station, was 98.20 feet below the measuring point in 1940 as compared to 96.95 feet in 1939. The water level in this well, however, rose 

in November to 91.76 feet below the measuring point, which is only 2.96 

feet lower than the highest stage recorded since observations were begun 

in 1938 (See fig. 3, well 26). This rise was probably caused by the 

cessation of pumping from well 1, which is situated near well 26, and can 

not therefore be regarded as indicating Improved ground-water conditions 

in the area. The water levels in wells tapping the "1,000-foot sand" at 

the City Park pumping station continued to decline in 1940 with only minor 

Interruptions (See fig. 3, well 35). The average of the weekly water 

levels in well 35, near the City Park pumping station, was 108.43 feet 

below the measuring point in 1940 as compared to 99.57 feet in 1939. The 

continued decline of the water level in this well Illustrates the serious 

problem of ground-water supply in the area.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA

Water-level measurements in wells in Tangipahoa and St. Tammany 

Parishes were made in 1940 during the strawberry irrigation season. More 

water than usual was required in May because of a rather prolonged period 

of dry weather. As a result of the combination of increased draft for 

irrigation and dry weather the water levels in 1940 were 1 to 2.5 feet 

lower than in 1939.

Observations were extended into four nearby parishes. Ten observation 

wells were located in East Baton Rouge Parish, four In Livingston Pariah, 

one in East Peliciana Parish, and one in Washington Parish. Pour waterstage recorders were installed on wells In the industrial area north of 

Baton Rouge. The water in the parishes is derived from thick Pleistocene 

sands and gravela at depths ranging from 300 to 2,100 feet. The water la 

under artesian presaure and most wells flow at the surface. The shut-in 

water pressures range from a fraction of a pound to about 60 pounds to the 

square inch.

Perhaps the most concentrated withdrawal of ground water In the 

State is made north of Baton Rouge In East Baton Rouge Parish where 

estimates Indicate that during the summer the pumpage, which Is chiefly 

for cooling purposes, amounts to approximately 50 million gallons of 

water a day. The withdrawal of large quantities of water from the 

"400-foot sand" and the "700-foot sand" in this area has resulted in 

the decline of the non-pumping water level from 44 feet below the surface, as reported in 1914, to over 170 feet In 1940.

The non-pumping water levels of sands penetrated at depths of 

1,100 feet to 2,100 feet In the area at Baton Rouge, shown by well EB-82 

at the Gulf States Utilities power plant, have recently begun to decline. 

The water level of well EB-82 declined from 35.7 feet above the measuring 

point on March 12, 1940, to 14.9 feet above the measuring point on 

November 23, 1940. The decline Is chiefly a result of the increase In 

withdrawals from the sands caused by the drilling of new deep wells. 

The water Is too warm to be used for cooling purposes.

SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA

Monthly water-level measurements were made in 1940 In seven wells In 

Jefferson Davls Parish, eight wells In Acadla Parish, three wells In Alien 

Parish, and three wells In Evangellne Parish. Automatic water-stage recorders were operated on four wells. Observations are not usually made 

on the wells during the summer months because during these months most of 

the wells are pumped for rice Irrigation. Pour new observation wells were 

established In Calcasleu Parish, one of which, situated near Lake Charles, 

was equipped with a water-stage recorder. A total of 388 individual 

measurements of water level were made In the observation wells In southwestern Louisiana In 1940.

The major fluctuations of water level In wells In the rice area are 

caused by pumping for the Irrigation of rice. The fluctuations are 

characterized by steep declines during the summer months when the pumpage 

Is heavy and gentle rises during the fall, winter and spring months when 

the pumpage Is light. The water levels In all the wells equipped with 

water-level recorders fluctuate In response to changes In atmospheric 

pressure. Graphs produced by water-stage recorders on two of the wells
28 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

showed fluctuations of water level on May 18 that correspond with the 

time of the earthquake in Imperial Valley, California. The maximum 

fluctuation recorded was 0.19 foot.

Increased precipitation during the growing season of 1940 provided 

a supply of water for the rice fields that was greater than usual. As 

a result the pumpage from wells was reduced and the lowest water levels 

recorded for the year were on the average about 9 feet above the lowest 

levels of 1939. At the close of 1940, the water levels were still approximately 3.5 feet above the levels at the close of 1959. The fluctuations 

of water level in the rice area are illustrated by a comparison of average 

monthly water levels In well JD-23 given in the following table.

The observation-well program In Oklahoma, reported In Water-Supply 

Papers 840, 845, and 886, was continued In 1940 as part of the Investigation of ground-water resources of the State lay the Federal Geological 

Survey In cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. This 

Investigation was begun in 1937 as a study of ground water in the 

Oklahoma Panhandle, and most of the observation wells are in that part of 

the state. In 1939, however, water-level measurements were begun in a 

well in Cleveland County, and in 1940 the program was expanded further by 

the addlton of 2 observation wells near Supply and Laverne and the 

inclusion of records obtained by the Oklahoma City Water Department in 9 

wells along the North Canadian Valley between Yukon and Woodward. Records 

for wells In the Stlllwater Creek area of the Soil Conservation Service 

are Included in this report in the section on Payne County,

The general geology and ground-water resources of the Panhandle were 

described in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845, and the geologic relationships of the well in Cleveland County were described in Water-Supply Paper 

886. The part of the North Canadian River valley that contains the 

observation wells added to the program in 1940 extends from the west line 

of Harper County, near Laverne, to Yukon, which is about 15 miles west of 

Oklahoma City. It crosses parts of Harper, Bills, Woodward, Major, Dewey, 

Blaine and Canadian Counties. The part above the mouth of Wolf Creek, at 

Supply, is known locally as Beaver River.

A detailed study has not been made of the ground-water resources of 

the stretch of the valley considered here, but Gould-' in 1905 sumnarized 

the water resources of the North Canadian River in Oklahoma, and in 1913 

Phillips, Alvord, and Bllllngsley-' reported on the possibilities of obtaining a water supply for Oklahoma City from wells in the alluvium of the 

valley. Two years later the Geological Survey published a report by 

Schwennesen on ground water for irrigation in the part of the valley near 

Oklahoma City.

50 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

The valley of the North Canadian River between the west line of 

Harper County and Oklahoma City is a trough excavated in upper Permian 

rooks that consist of red shales and fine sandstones, and gypsum. A strip 

of sand hills and terrace deposits lies along the north and northeast side 

of most of this stretch of the valley, and the trough itself has been 

partly filled with river sands, gravels and silts that in places are more 

than 50 feet thick. These river sands and gravels are the principal 

source of ground water for wells in the valley, and several towns and 

irrigators draw upon this supply. Oklahoma City, however, relies on the 

flow of the river, which in recent years has been almost entirely flood 

flow.

In 1930 the Oklahoma City Water Department established 54 observation wells in the river channel between El Reno and Supply, and made 

weekly measurements of water level in them between August 5 and October 

15. From 8 to 11 measurements were made in each well. During most of 

this period there was a flow in the river, with occasional floods, and at 

times the water levels in the wells stood as much as 4 feet above the 

bottom of the channel. In 1 well, however, the water level declined to a 

level 3.6 feet below the channel on September 11, 1930. An additional 

measurement was made in each of 24 wells about the middle of November 

1931. Many of the wells, however, were washed out and the measurements 

were discontinued.

The city water department again undertook measurements in wells as a 

means of determining the depth of the water table below the river channel 

when a prolonged drought and lack of floods in the last half of 1939 resulted in a shortage of water in the Oklahoma City reservoir. In December 

of that year 9 wells consisting of 2-inch pipes with blow-torch perforations 

near the lower end were sunk at strategic points along the river between 

Yukon and Woodward. Of these wells, 7 were on the flood plain near the 

channel and 2 were in the channel near El Reno and Yukon. The 2 wells 

near El Reno and Yukon were replaced by similar wells on the flood plain 

in April 1940.

Water-level measurements in 1940 were made in 124 wells in Oklahoma, 

of which 39 are in Beaver County, 2 in Blaine County, 4 in Canadian 

County, 29 in Cimarron County, 1 in Cleveland County, 1 in Harper County, 

1 in Major County, 44 in Texas County, and 3 in Woodward County.

58 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Observation wells In the Panhandle (Beaver, Cimarron and Texas 

Counties) have been measured bimonthly, in January, March, May, July, 

September and November, and the number of measurements in individual wells 

has ranged from 1 to 6. The wells near Laverne (Harper County l) and 

Supply (Woodward County 3) are measured twice a year, before and after 

the irrigation season. The wells of the Oklahoma City Water Department 

are usually measured about once a month, but in the last half of 1940 were 

measured only twice. The Cleveland County well is measured weekly during 

the winter and at irregular intervals during the rest of the year.

Of the 683 measurements made in the observation wells in 1940. 209 

were made in Beaver County, 11 in Blaine County, 43 in Canadian County, 

139 in Cimarron County, 34 in Cleveland County, 2 in Harper County, 10 in 

Major County, 216 in Texas County, and 20 in Woodward County. In addition 

to these periodic measurements, an automatic water-stage recorder of the 

float type was maintained throughout the year on Beaver County well 528.

In 1940, the investigation of the ground-water resources of Beaver 

County was continued, and several brief studies of possible ground-water 

supplies for municipalities and state institutions in Oklahoma were made.

A summary of the ground-water resources of the Oklahoma Panhandle, by the

4/ writer, was published in Economic Geology.

Fluctuations of water level. 1938-40

During the period of record, 1938-40, the water levels in wells in 

the Panhandle Beaver, Cimarron. and Texas Counties have risen slowlywithout large fluctuations. The average water level at the end of 

November 1940 was 0.05 foot higher than in November 1939 and 0.10 foot 

higher than in November 1938. at which time the lowest stage was recorded. It was, however, 0.09 foot below the highest stage, which was 

reached in May 1940. The highest stage in 1939 was reached in September 

and was 0.04 foot below the level of May 1940.

This general rise has been most pronounced in Beaver County, where 

water levels in wells drawing from the Ogallala formation have risen 

enough to offset the decline of the water levels in wells in some other 

aquifers and other localities. The November averages for 1939 and 1940 

were 0.16 foot and 0.30 foot, respectively, above the average for November 

1938, which was the lowest average stage recorded for the county. The

4/ Schoff, S. L., Ground water in the Oklahoma Panhandle: Econ. 

Geol., Vol. XXXV, pp. 534-545, 1940.
OKLAHOMA - °°

highest recorded stage occurred in July 1940. but it was only 0.04 foot 

above the stage for November of the same year.

In Cimarron County, the average water level in November 1939 was 0.06 

foot above the average for November 1938, but by November 1940 It had declined to the 1938 level. The average water level for this county, 

however, has fluctuated through a wider range than the average water levels 

of Beaver and Texas Counties. The lowest stage occurred in July 1938, at 

the beginning of the record, and was followed by «n irregular rise of 0.41 

foot to the highest stage, which was reached in May 1940.

The record for Texas County is the longest In the Panhandle and shows 

the least range of fluctuation in water level. The highest stage for this 

county was reached in September 1938, and was 0.13 foot above the low 

stage, which was reached two months later. The average water levels for 

November 1939 and November 1940 were 0.07 foot and 0.01 foot, respectively, 

below the average for November 1938.

In all three of the Panhandle Counties, the maximum fluctuations of 

water level for groups of wells have occurred in wells tapping water In 

the alluvium. The following tables present not only average water levels 

In several groups of wells in each county, but weighted averages for the 

Panhandle as a whole, In feet above assumed datum planes. These averages 

are similar to those given in corresponding tables In Water-Supply Paper 

886, but differ in detail because of revision of the figures for several 

of the wells and the inclusion of wells that had been omitted until 

enough information was available to permit selection of datum planes for 

them. The most obvious change is in the water levels for red beds in 

Texas County. This aquifer is represented by one well (No. 294), the 

datum for which has been raised 0.14 foot. The wells in western Cimarron 

County that may tap water in the Dakota sandstone have been grouped with 

upland wells tapping the Ogallala formation because further study has 

shown that they cannot be distinguished with certainty from the wells in 

the Ogallala.

The average water level for observation wells along the North 

Canadian River, wells in Blaine, Canadian, Harper, Major, and'Woodward 

Counties, and wells of this type in the Panhandle Counties has fluctuated through a range of 2.54 feet In the period 1938-40. Low levels are 

usually reached in the fall. Part of the fluctuations indicated in the 

table are probably due to irregularities In the number and geographic 

distribution of the wells included in the different monthly averages, but 

part are due to the effect of floods in the river, to recharge in the 

alluvium by penetration of rainfall, to transpiration by plants, and to 

evaporation where the water table is near the surface.

The record of the automatic water-stage recorder on Beaver County 

well 528 showed the effects of floods in the river in 1940. On May 17 and 

18 heavy rains totaling 1.65 to 2.38 inches were recorded at stations of 

the U. S. Weather Bureau In the Panhandle. A flood in the river resulted 

and the water level in the well, which is about 1,700 feet from the channel, 

roae 0.27 foot between 6 p.m. on May 18 and noon on May 23. A more pronounced effect was recorded from August 15 to 18, when the water level in 

the well rose 1.44 feet in about 59 hours during and immediately following

a/ Wells in Ogallala formation In northwestern part of the county,

The water level in the Cleveland County observation well fluctuated 

through a range of 2.57 feet from March 51, 1939, to December 25, 1940. 

The highest water level recorded In 1959 was 15.05 feet below the measuring 

point, on September 12, and the lowest was 16.24 feet, on November 14. 

From January to May 1940 the water level fluctuated between 15.72 feet 

below the measuring point and 17.08 feet (the record low). From June 21 

to July 27 the water level rose 1.2 feet, probably as a result of heavy 

precipitation, which averaged 2.51 Inches above the normal for July at 

Oklahoma City and Norman, the nearest stations of the U. S. Weather Bureau. 

This rise was followed by a decline that is poorly recorded because of 

Infrequent measurements. From November to December 25 the water level rose 

0.57 foot, reaching the highest level yet recorded. This rise was probably 

due to heavy precipitation, which for November averaged 5.55 inches above 

the normal at Oklahoma City and Norman. Over 90 percent of this precipitation came between November 19 and 26.
58 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Precipitation, 1940

Precipitation in the Panhandle for the year ending November 30, 1940, 

ranged from 12.69 inches at Kenton to 18.83 inches at Beaver, and the 

average for the 5 stations was 16.49 inches. This was 1.06 inches below 

the normal annual precipitation for the area. Departures at individual 

stations ranged from 1.14 inches above normal at Hooker to 5.33 inches 

below normal at Kenton.

For the same period the precipitation at 7 stations along the North 

Canadian Valley from Oklahoma City to Supply ranged from 16.45 inches at 

Supply to 33.84 inches at Oklahoma City. The annual departures at 5 of 

these stations ranged from 2.69 inches above normal at Oklahoma City to 

7.36 inches below the normal at Oeary, and averaged 2.01 inches below 

normal.

The Cleveland County observation well is about half way between 

Oklahoma City and Norman, and the precipitation reported at both of these 

cities,- therefore, must be considered in interpreting the water-level 

record for the well. For the year ending November 30, 1940, the average 

for these two stations was 33.96 inches 1.73 inches above the normal 

annual precipitation. Significant details of the record for the year 

have been mentioned in the discussion of the water-level fluctuations in 

the well.

Pumpage in the Panhandle

The amount of water pumped from the larger municipal, industrial, 

and irrigation wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle in 1940 is estimated to be 

about 1,786 acre-feet, divided as follows: Beaver County, 246 acre-feet; 

Cijnarron County, 74 acre-feet; Texas County, 1,466 acre-feet.

PAYNE COUNTY 

STILLWATER CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

The observation-well program in the Stillwater Creek area,-^near 

Stillwater, Payne County, Okla., was continued through the first half 

of 1940 by the Soil Conservation Service under the direction of Albert 

E. Wade, acting technician in charge. The water-level measurements 

during this part of the year were made by J. Frank Relf, associate agricultural engineer. The Soil Conservation Service, however, was unable to 

continue the work after July 1 because of reduction in personnel at Stillwater, and the responsibility for the work was assumed by Dr. H. f. Harper, 

of the Department of Agronomy of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical 

College. The water-level measurements in the last half of the year were 

made by Dr. M. J. Plioe, also of the Department of Agronomy. In 1940 

he and Mr. Relf made 169 water-level measurements in 14 observation wells 

in the area.

The water levels for the Stillwater area are given in feet above 

assumed datum planes that were established 10 feet below the water level 

in each well on January 1, 1935. The average water levels usually are 

computed from the measurements made in 12 wells (1-4, 7-9, 11-15, 15, and 

17), but at times have been more or less irregular because of the omission

of wells In use or wells temporarily dry. Several irregularities occur in 

the averages for 1940 because well 8 was in use throughout the year, well 

9 was in use from July through December, and well 11 was dry except in 

June, August, November and December.

Fluctuations of Water Level, 1934-40

From June 1934 through 1940 the average water levels for the observation wells in the Stillwater Creek Basin have been characterized by prompt 

fluctuations in response to periods of heavy precipitation. They have 

also shown the effects of general trends in precipitation. The precipitation in the area was generally below the normal from early 1956 until 

early 1938, and the average water level declined persistently in response 

to the accumulating deficiency in precipitation. The annual lowest water 

level has occurred in the fall or winter, but the annual highest water 

level has occurred on various dates because of the temporary influence of 

heavy storms.

On June 2, 1934, when the measurements were begun, the average water 

level was 10.77 feet above assumed datum planes. It declined until August 

26-31, reaching the level of 8.74 feet, and then rose to the record high 

level of 11.80 feet on July 1, 1955. Thereafter the average water level 

declined, at first rapidly until October 1935 and then more slowly through 

1936 and 1937, until it reached 6.98 feet on January 31, 1938. From this 

level it rose slowly to 8.92 feet on June 27, 1938, declined to 7.65 feet 

on March 1, 1939, and then rose to 8.52 feet on May 24, 1939. Drought 

through the summer of 1939 caused a decline to 6.62 feet, on October 11, 

the second lowest level recorded, but the water level rose somewhat toward 

the end of 1939. In the first 8 months of 1940 there were several fluctuations in the average water level, without a significant general trend, 

followed by a decline to the lowest recorded level 6.50 feet on Septenfcer 6,

 Thereafter the water level rose-steadily in response to unusually heavy 

fall precipitation, and reached 7.57 feet, the high level for the year, on 

December 28.

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By R. W. Sundstrom

The ground-water resources of Texas have been under investigation 

since 1929 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Texas 

State Board of Hater Engineers. The measuring of water levels and artesian pressure in selected observation wells has constituted a part of 

this study. The earliest measurements were made in 1928 and 1929 in 

Dimmit, Zavala, Uvalde, and Medina Counties, and in 1930 and 1931 in the 

Houston-Galveston area. As the ground-water investigations were extended 

to other areas, the water-level observation program was expanded accordingly. During 1941, a total of more than 7,000 water-level measurements 

was made in about 1,300 wells in 78 counties. Twenty-two water-stage 

recorders were maintained on wells for the purpose of securing continuous records of the fluctuations of water level in selected areas. In 

some parts of the state, water levels were measured at intervals of a 

month or less, but in most places they were made at intervals ranging 

from 3 to 12 months.

The water-level measurements made in connection with the program 

prior to 1940 are published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 

and 886. During 1940, two mimeographed reports were issued; the first 

contains a discussion of water-level fluctuations in the Houston district 

from 1930 to 1940, and the second contains a discussion of the waterlevel fluctuations in the High Plains of Texas from 1934 to 1940.

BALCONES FAULT ZONE

Water-level observations in wells in the Balcones fault zone, 

which comprises parts of Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Kinney, Travis, 

Uvalde, Val Verde, and Williamson Counties, were started in 1929 in 

Uvalde and Medina Counties. In 1932, observations were begun in Bexar 

County, and in 1937 they were extended to include Kinney, Comal, Hays, 

Travis, Guadalupe, and Val Verde Counties. Most of the observation 

wells in the area tap the Edwards limestone, which is the source of the 

water discharged by the large springs of the Balcones fault zone. The 

public and industrial water supplies of several large towns, including

76
TEXAS 77

San Antonio, and most of the irrigation supply of TJvalde and Bexar 

Counties are obtained from the Edwards limestone. The water enters the 

limestone on the outcrop area along the Balcones escarpment and on the 

Edwards Plateau. The artesian head in many of the wells situated down 

the dip responds rather quickly to recharge from rains on the outcrop 

area.

In the San Antonio area a water-stage recorder has been maintained 

since the fall of 1932 on a well at Beverly Lodges (see accompanying 

illustration). The water level in the well is affected to some extent 

by changes in the rate of pumping in the San Antonio area. The larger 

fluctuations of the water level, however, are chiefly dependent on the 

amount of the precipitation on the outcrop of the Edwards limestone north 

of the well. It is apparent that although the well is several miles down 

the dip, the water level in it responds quickly to heavy rains on the 

outcrop. Prom 1932 to April 9, 1935, the accumulated deficiency from 

normal precipitation at San Antonio was large; the discharge from the 

Edwards reservoir exceeded the recharge and the water level in the well 

declined. During the period April 9 to June 15, 1935, the precipitation 

at San Antonio amounted to about 24 inches, and the water level in the 

Beverly Lodges well rose about 15 feet. The total precipitation from 

June 1935 to May 1936 was below normal, but moderately heavy rains occurred 

in September 1955 and March 1936 and during these months the water level 

in the well rose slightly. The net decline in the period was about 5 feet. 

During May, June, and July 1936, heavy rains, which amounted to more than 

15 inches at San Antonio, returned the water level to the peak stage of 

1935. During the remainder of 1936 the precipitation was slightly above 

normal and the water level in the well remained comparatively high. During 1937 and the early part of 1938 the total precipitation was somewhat 

above normal. Heavy rains in May and December 1937 and in April 1938 

caused pronounced rises in the water level in the well. In May 1938 the 

water level was within 2 feet of the peak stages of 1935 and 1936. From 

Hay 1938 to October 1940 there was a large accumulated deficiency in the 

precipitation and the water level declined to its lowest observed stage, 

almost 20 feet below the peak stages of 1935 and 1936. Heavy rains in 

October, November, and December 1940 caused a sharp rise and in December 

1940 the water level was about 8 feet lower than it was when the record 

was started in October 1932.

TEXAS 79 .

In 1939 a water-stage recorder was.installed on a well at Brackettville 

in Kinney County. The two-year record shows the influence of precipitation 

on the water level in this well (see accompanying illustration).

Water levels in wells drawing from the Edwards limestone in Uvalde 

and Medina Counties are likewise affected by recharge from precipitation. 

In most of the wells the water levels were high- during the first part of 

1940, and then declined until they were affected by rains in April, May, 

and June, 1940. In some of the wells the highest water levels in 1940 

occurred from May to July. After this period the water levels declined 

gradually to the end of the year, when they were mostly lower than at the 

beginning of the year.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimmit a!hd Zavala Counties! The Winter Garden district. Large scale 

pumping for irrigation in this area has been in progress for the past 21 

years. The Carrizo sand, from which nearly all the water is derived, crops 

out in a belt about 1 to 7 miles wide extending across the western part 

of Dimmit County, the western and northern parts of Zavala County, and 

parts of eastern Maverick and southern Uvalde Counties. The sand is 

about 200 feet thick on the average, and it dips generally to the east 

and southeast. The belt in which it can be reached within a depth of 

1,000 feet is about 15 miles wide. The water-level measurements in the 

area were started in 1929.

The water levels in wells on the outcrop area which are remote from 

heavy pumping show relatively little seasonal or yearly fluctuations, 

and have changed only slightly during the last 11 years. In areas down 

the dip where pumping has been heavy, the range of fluctuation of the 

water levels is large. The lowest stages were recorded late in the 

winter and in the spring of 1929-30 and 1931-32; the highest stages were 

recorded late in the summers of 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1940. The water 

levels in some of the wells in which the fluctuations of water level are 

the greatest rose 5 to 20 feet from August 1939 to August 1940. It is 

believed that these rises were due to the fact that there was less pumping for irrigation in 1939-40 than there was in 1938-39. The water 

levels in most of the wells were as high or higher in the summer of 1940 

as in the summer of 1930.

SOOTH TEXAS

Duval County. Measurements of water levels in 38 wells reveal that 

there was an average rise of about 0.3 foot from April 1939 to February 

1940. Twenty of the wells had an average rise of 1.64 feet during this 

period whereas 17 wells had an average decline of 1.28 feet. No change 

in water level occurred in one well.

Brooks County. A comparison of water-level measurements made in 

February 1940 with those made in January 1938 indicates that there has 

been a decline in the water levels in all except 2 observation wells in 

the county. The declines range from about 1.5 feet to about 17 feet and 

average about 5 feet.

Kleberg County. A decline in the water levels has occurred in 

Kleberg County from 1904 through 1940. In 1940 the net decline, however, 

was much less than in previous years, and in a few wells there were 

small rises of water level. The average net decline since 1935 in 16 

observation wells has been slightly less than 4 feet.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Wharton County. Large quantities of ground water are used in 

Wharton County for irrigating rice; considerable ground water is used 

also in connection with the operation of the sulphur and petroleum industries. According to records of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

16,700 acres of rice were irrigated in 1935 and about 19,700 acres were 

irrigated in 1939. About 30,000 acre-feet of ground water was used for 

this irrigation in 1939. The sulphur industry used about 4,600 acre-feet; 

the public water supplies of Wharton, El Campo, and Boling used about 

700 acre-feet. Although the records of water levels in the observation 

wells do not indicate that the decline was great, they show that the 

water levels in 13 wells declined an average of 1.1 feet from March 1939 

to March 1940. The water levels in 3 wells rose in this period.

Jackson County. The water levels in 18 wells in Jackson County had 

an average net decline of about 1.1 feet from the time measurements were 

begun in 1934 to December 1940. The declines range from a maximum of 

4.7 feet to a minimum of 0.1 foot. The water level in 1 well showed a 

rise of 0.2 foot during this period. The average decline of the water 

levels in the 18 wells from March 1939 to March 1940 was 0.8 foot. From 

March 1940 to December 1940, the water levels in 9 wells rose an average 

of 0.8 foot whereas the water levels in 10 wells declined an average of 

0.4 foot.

Matagorda County. Observations have been made on only four wells In 

southwestern Matagorda County. The water level In one of the wells (40), 

which. Is owned by the city of Palaclos,has been affected by the pumpage 

from a nearby well that was drilled In 1938 and by pumpage for the Irrigation of rice that began north of Palaclos during 1939 and 1940. The 

water level In well 40 has declined about 16 feet since 1938. The water 

level In observation well 3, at Mldfleld, declined several feet In the 

same period.

Houston-Galveston and adjacent region. The water levels In the 

Houston area are chiefly Influenced by heavy pumping. According to a 

report -=/recently Issued, the average dally pumpage In the Houston, 

Pasadena, and Katy district Increased from 63 million gallons In 1935 

to 100 million gallons In 1937, to 112 million gallons In 1939, and to 

126 million gallons In 1940. As a result the water levels in wells 

tapping sands from which this water Is pumped have declined persistently 

throughout the period. The magnitude of the decline depends on the 

position of the observation well with respect to the centers of heavy 

pumping.

The water levels In the vicinity of Galveston continued to decline 

during 1940.

EAST-CENTRAL AND EAST TEXAS

Water-level measurements were continued In 1940 In lines of wells 

extending from Austin northeast to the Texas-Louisiana boundary. The 

water levels in most of the shallow wells, which are quickly Influenced 

by variations In precipitation were generally low when the measurements 

were made in April and July, but were much-higher when measurements were 

made In November. The water levels in deeper wells, which do not respond quickly to variations In precipitation, were still at low stages 

In November. In the deep wells tapping the Carrlzo sand, In Angelina 

and Nacogdoches Counties, the water levels declined during the year due 

to heavy pumping for industrial purposes In the vicinity of Lufkln. The 

amount of decline varied with the distance and location of the observation

wells with respect to the centers of pumping. I/Jell 169 at the Gulf Pipeline pumping station in Angelina County is believed to be influenced both 

by the pumping of the city of Lufkin well at Redlands about 3 miles away 

and of the paper mill wells about 4 miles away. The water level in well 

169 declined 39 feet from April to November 1940.

HIGH PLAINS

The water levels in approximately 600 observation wells in the High 

Plains were measured during 1940. The measurements indicate that in the 

areas of heavy pumping for irrigation the net decline during the year was 

greater than it was in 1939. In areas beyong the influence of the heavy 

pumping, the fluctuations of water level were small. A detailed discussion of the changes in water level in the High Plains from 1934 through

118 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

El Paso County 

By A. If. Sayre

The water levels in 52 wells in the vicinity of El Paso, an increase 

of 12 wells over 1939, were measured about once a month during 1940. Sixteen of the wells are used chiefly or entirely for observational purposes; 

the rest of the wells are pumped either continuously or at intervals. The 

water-level measurements were mostly made when the pumps were idle; but 

in the wells that were operated continuously the measurements were made 

while the wells were being pumped.

The water levels declined in most of the wells for which measurements 

are available during the entire year, chiefly because there was a considerable increase in pumpage during the year. The average decline in water 

level in 32 wells was 2.5 feet. However, in and near the Montana well 

field the water levels in 7 wells rose an average of 1.55 feet. The pumping in this field was stopped in November, and hence there was an opportunity for the water levels to recover in spite of the fact that the 

pumpage from the field in 1940 was considerably greater than in 1939.

The average daily pumpage from all the wells in the El Paso area 

during 1940 was 18,355,000 gallons, as compared with 16,800,000 gallons 

during 1939. The smallest pumpage for any one month occurred in January 

when an average of 13,320,000 gallons a day was pumped; the largest was 

in June when the average daily pumpage was 24,200,000 gallons. The total 

pumpage in the El Paso area during 1940 was about 6,705,278,000 gallons, 

an increase of 556,250,000 gallons over the pumpage in 1939. The El Paso 

Water Department pumped 3,298,061,000 gallons from 11 wells 833,146,000 

gallons from the Montana well field, 1,134,307,000 gallons from wells in 

the downtown area, and 1,330,603,000 gallons from wells in the Mesa well 

field. The pumpage from private wells, including the wells at Port Bliss 

and the city of Juarez, amounted to 407,217,000 gallons. The principal 

increases in pumpage occurred from the wells at Port Bliss and the 

Montana well field. The pumpage from the municipal wells in the downtown 

area increased only slightly and the pumpage from the wells in the Mesa 

well field decreased slightly.
