INTROOTCTIOH 

By 0, 1. Meinzer and L. E. Wenziel

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground 

reservoir* la 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, irrigation, or industrial uses and the extent to which they are replenished la 

seasons of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in pressure 

recorded on flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the 

artesian reservoirs.

fhe regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure 

in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1955 aad baa 

continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published 

in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 .the records 

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

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of 

the country, Hawaii is included in the southwestern section* (See fig. l). 

The following table gives the numbers of these reports. This series of 

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

ground-water supplies of such parts of the country as have been covered.

949 , The present volume covers the south-central Statee and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,320 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana, 

Oklahoma, and J»xaa. Of these wells, 28 are equipped with automatic waterstage recorders. For some wells not previously reported, complete records 

of water levels are given in this volume, Including those for the years 

before 1942. For wells whose previous records have been published, this 

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

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

well number and a brief identifying description, are given in thts report. 

The numbers in parentheses Immediately, following a well number are those 

ot the water-supply papers In which earlier records of that well are giT«n 

and the pages 'ott which they appear. An asterisk indicate* that a desertption of the well Is givan in the paper whose number Is so aarlted. Ihls 

report includes about 9,000 Individual determination* of water level and 

artesian pressure. ;

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

planes of different kinds. Some are given In depths below the measuring 

point, which is a recognised reference mark at or near the top of the 

well from which the depth to water level is usually measured} others are 

given la height above an assumed datum plane.

Network of key observation wells

Daring 1640 the Geological Survey established * network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general groucdwater conditions over the country. these wells were selected because the 

fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical, and they

represent general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the country in whict 

the wells are situated. At itha end of 1942 the network included about 130 we] 

in 40 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942; the other 90 were selected from wells measured regularly in 

connection with cooperative ground-water investigations. The coverage of th« 

country is still far from adequate, and it is expected that some wells not no*

4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES 

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHANGES III GROUND-WATER LEVEL IH 1948

in THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PART OF TEE UNITED STATES

In 1942 the precipitation in all the States that make up the southcentral section was above normal, and, as a result, the water levels in 

many wells of the section were maintained at comparatively high stages. 

The fluctuations of water level and artesian pressure in wells depend, 

however, on many factors besides the amount of precipitation. Consequently, 

it Is usually not possible to find a simple relation between the changes In 

water level or artesian pressure and the departure from normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the interpretive texts 

that appear in this volume under the several States. They summarise the 

changes in ground-water levels and artesian pressure that occurred in 1948 

in the parts of the underground reservoirs that are tapped by the observation wells In the south-central States.

Louisiana. The water levels in wells in Grant, LaSalle, and Avoyelles 

Parishes, where the consumption of ground water is small, remained relatively constant throughout the year and compare favorably with the water levels 

of 1941 and 1940 In these periods. The serious decline of water levels 

near Alexandria, ixt Rupides Parish, continued during 1942. The average 

weekly water level in well 26, in Alexandria, near the lioaroe Street 

pumping station, was 19*7? feet lower than in 1941 aad 50.74 feet lower 

than in 1939; that in well S§, near the City Park pumping station, was 

19.21 feet lower than in 1941 and 28.51 feet lower than ia 1939.

Despite the excessive rainfall during the summer, the water levels 

of the rioe-lrrigation wells were somewhat lower in 1942 than in 1941. 

In the vicinity of Lake Charles and Vest Lake water levels continued to 

decline in 1942, owing to the increase in pumpage in the industrial section.

The artesian pressure in wells in Tangipahoa and Livingaton Parishes 

was about the same in 1942 as in 1941. In these two parishes the shallow 

wells, most of which are used for the irrigation of strawberries, showed 

little or no drop in pressure in 1942.

In St. Tammany Parish the artesian pressure la eight key wells 

continued to decline, the losses averaging as much as 2 feet in the deep 

wells.

j
\ »

t

Water levels in the observation wells in the industrial section of 

Baton Rouge fluctuate greatly owing to the seasonal pumping of water to be 

used for cooling* She net rise of O.44 foot to 7.71 feet in four of these 

wells is due to the above-normal precipitation during the summer sad the 

consequent decrease in puopage for use in cooling.

Oklahoma. Ground-water levels in the Oklahoma Panhandle continued to 

rise during 1942. In October the weighted average water level was 0.95 

foot higher than in January 1941, 0.29 foot higher than in October 1941, 

and 1.00 foot higher than the lowest recorded level.

later levels in the Stillwater Creek Basin were extremely high during 

the year, owing to the large excess of precipitation and the effect of 

storage in lake Blackwell.

Heavy and widely scattered precipitation throughout the year caused 

the water levels In the observation wells along the Horth Canadian River 

to fluctuate greatly. In a well at Beaver the water level was still 

relatively high at the beginning of the year, although it was declining 

from a peak reached in October 1941. It declined steadily until the latter 

part of October 1942, when increased rains caused it to rise again, and it 

continued to rise throughout the remainder of the year.

Texas.--In Klnney County the water levels in seven observation wells 

drawing from the Edwards limestone were lower in 1942 than in 1941. In 

five observation wells in the same county, but drawing from the Austin 

chalk, the water levels in 1942 were 3 feet lower In the spring, 5.7 feet 

lower In the summer,and 0.5 foot lower in the fall than in 1941. In TJvalde 

County the water levels in six wells drawing from the Edwards limestone 

averaged about 2.7 feet higher in the spring, about 1,9 feet lower la the 

summer and about 3 feet lower in the fall of 1942 than in the corresponding 

seasons of 1941. In six observation wells in Medina County drawing from 

the Sdwards limestone the water levels in 1942 averaged 6.8 feet lower in 

the spring, 4.5 feet lower in the summer, and 2.7 feet higher In the fall 

than In the corresponding seasons of 1941*

In observation wells in the outcrop area of the Carriso sand in Dlnmit

and Zavala Counties, the water levels show relatively little seasonal or 

yearly fluctuation and have changed only slightly during the last 13 years* 

Prom August 1941 to August 1942, however, there was an average decline of

0.65 foot In water levels in the outcrop area. la the area down the dip 

of the sand, where pumping has been heavy, the water levels were lower in 

August 1943 than la August 1941.

In Wharton County, in southeast Texas, where considerable groand water 

is pumped to irrigate rice, the water level is 22 welle averaged I,f8 feet 

higher in the spring of 1942 than in the spring of 1941. In the Houston 

and Pasadena areas the general decline in water levels that began in 1987 

and continued through 1941 persisted through 1942, but at a diminishing rate, 

The average decline in water levels in observation wells In these areas 

between the spring of 1941 and the spring of 1942 was 2.5 feet, as compared 

with 5.3 feet for the preceding year.

There was a general decline of the water table in all the pumping 

districts of the High Plains from 1938 to 1941. This was followed tar * 

general rise during the summer and fall of 1941 and the spring of 1942, as 

a result of the especially high rainfall and light pumping in 1941. In the 

Plalnvlew district ground-water levels showed an average rise of 2 feet 

from March 1941 to February 1945. In the Hereford district water levels 

rose 2.3 feet In the same period.

In Loving County, In west Texas,seven observation well* showed rises 

in water level of 1 to 11 feet between the spring and fall of 1948 and the 

spring and fall of 1941, In Hard County the water levels is w»ll« were 

generally somewhat higher In the spring of 1942 than the spring of £941}

ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE HHKJIOH 

By R. 0. Kazmann

The Grand Prairie region of Arkansas comprises Arkansas County, 

large parts of Lonoke and Prairie Counties, and very small parts of Jefferson and Konroe Counties. Measurements of depth to water level In wells In 

this area were continued In 1942 by cooperative agreement between the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, and the 

Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. This Is the sixteenth successive 

year In which a well-measurement program has been conducted In this region, 

the first measurements having been made In September 1927 by the Federal 

Geological Survey, In cooperation with the Arkansas Geological Survey, fh* 

work in 1942 was done by employees of the State Agricultural Experiment Station 

under the supervision of Kyle Bngler, assisted by L. C. Carter. As In past 

years, T. J. Frlcke, engineer of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, has 

cooperated informally In the well-measurement program and in the study and 

interpretation of the field records,

A discussion of the conditions affecting the ground-water resources 

of the Grand Prairie region, where rice is extensively cultivated and mist 

be Irrigated, and an account of the early pumping operations and their 

effect on the general static level of the ground water are given In an 

earlier r*port, i/ which also contains records of 18 wells from the time of 

their first measurement until the time of the preparation of the report* 

Later reports bring these records up to date and add the records of other 

wells.

The trend of water level or artesian head from year to year in the 

Grand Prairie region may be determined by annual measurements made in the 

spring, as late as possible but before pumping for rice Irrigation begins. 

Accordingly, for most of the wells in most years only the single measurement, in the spring, has been made. In some years measurements have been

made in ^ the .fall, after the irrigation season has ended,

8 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

These give some suggestion as to the effects of pumping during the previous 

summer; but, because local irregularities due to pumping during the avcmsMf 

have not been smoothed out, they are not so conclusive as measurements wide 

during the following spring. Owing to the war, no measurements were Bade 

in the fall of 1942. 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 once a week* 

A continuous record of the fluctuations of water level in this well has 

been obtained since August 1928.

The water level in all wells in the Grand Prairie region fluctuates 

as a result of changes in atmospheric pressure, at tines as rauch as 0.8 

foot in 24 hours and more than 1 foot in a few days. To make accurate 

comparisons of the water level on corresponding dates in different years, 

corrections for such fluctuations must be made by comparing the atmospheric 

pressures, as determined from barograph records at some place nearby, at 

the time of measurements in the successive years. In general, the differences in decline of water level from place to place can be attributed In 

large part to differences in quantity of water pumped for irrigation In 

the various parts of the region, but the greatest differences, which 

occur in the extreme southeastern part of the region, probably are due to 

differences in the stage of White River.

By J. C. Matter and P, H, Jooea

The periodic measurement of water levels wad artesian pressure in 

selected observation wells In Louisiana, begun la 1958 as part of & cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of the State by the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, and the Geological Survey, Louisiana Department of Conservation, wa« continued In 

1942 on a somewhat reduced scale. A total of 934 water-level measurements 

was made in 88 key wells in 15 parishes, namely, Acadia, Alien, Avoyelles, 

Calcasieu, Bast Baton Rouge, Evangeline, Grant, la 3alle, Livlngston, 

Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Xorehouse, Rapides, Tangipahoa, and St. Tammany 

Parishes. (See fig. 2) . Weekly measurements were made in 2 walls in Rapide* 

Parish and 2 wells in last Baton Rouge Parish, and monthly measurements 

were made in 7 wells in the area covered by Acadia, Alien, Galcasieu, 

Bvangeline, and Jefferson Davls Parishes. Water-stage recorders were 

operated on 4 wells In last Baton Rouge Parish, 5 wells la Bapides Parish, 

and one well each in Alien and Jefferson Davis Parishes. Observations wera 

made at 4-raonth intervals in 17 wells in the rice-irrigation area, which 

includes Acadia, Alien, Evangeline, and Jefferson Davis Parishes. Other 

wells were measured at irregular intervals. All the measurements were mad« 

by members of the technical staff engaged in the ground-water investigations 

with the exception of those for well Al-29, at Elisabeth, which were obtain* 

through the cooperation of W. E. Eraigh, of the Caloasieu Sulphate Paper Co. 

In the past year, much of the water-level observation program h»a been 

directly connected with the war effort. Detailed Investigation* were made 

for the United States Engineers at Camp Livingaton, Camp Beavtregard, Gasp 

Claiborne, Ssler Field, and the Breezy Hill Range area. Investigations 

were also made In Hew Orleans for the United States Navy and In Baton Rouge 

for the War Production Board. The entry of new industries and th* construction of Army facilities in the past year have increased the need for 

an observation program in all sections of the State* The areas in which 

considerable amounts of ground water are now used in Louisiana are shown in 

figure 3. Large declines of water level are anticipated in Baton Rouge and 

Lake Charles next year, when new industrial plants begin operation in those 

cities.

NORTHERN LOUISIANA

Only one veil is being observed in this region and that is loeated at 

Bastrop, in Morehouse Parish (see figs.2 and 3), where large quantities of 

ground water are used in the manufacture of paper. The water level in this 

well was 1.9 feet higher in December 1942 than in December 1941. This say 

be attributed, in part, to a small decrease in the consumption of ground 

water at one of the paper mills.

CENTRAL LOUISIANA

The observation-well program in central Louisiana was concentrated 

about the city of Alexandria, Camps Livingston, Beauregard, and Claiborne, 

and Baler Field, all of which are in Rapides Parish. Although many hundreds 

of water-level observations were made for the United States Anay at the 

different cantonments, only those of regional significance are included in 

this report. A total of 461 measurements was made in 19 wells in Rapides 

Parish, 15 in 4 wells in Grant Parish, 16 in S w«ila la L*S*11* Pariah, and 

1 In 1 well In Avoyellea Parish,

Water levels in the wells In Grant, LaSalle, and Avoyelles Ps.rishaa, 

where consumption of ground water is small, remained relatively constant 

throughout the year and compare favorably with these levels of 1941 aad 

1940. In Rapides Parish the serious decline of water levels in Alexandria 

continued, ers shown in figure 4 . The average weekly water level In well 

28, near the Monroe Street pumping station, was 19.77 f«at lever tbaa in 

1941 and 50.74 feet lower than la 1989; that in well 55, near the City park 

pumping station, was 19.21 feet lower than in 1943. and 28,51 feet lower 

than in 1039. A new well field Is being drilled vest of the oity to alleviate this coalition. A comparison of the average weekly water levels during

In Camp tivingston water levels recovered considerably after the new 

surface-water plant began operation. Well 344, a deep observation well, 

had a water level of 269.01 feet on June 16, shortly before many of th* 

deep wells were abandoned. On Decestoer 29 it had recovered to a level of 

188,01 feet. This is still considerably below the original water level of 

125 feet in 1940. The water levels of wells in the relatively undeveloped 

shallow Pleistocene sands, of which well 381 is an example, remained at 

about 66 feet below the land surface.

The water levels in the deep wells at Camp Claiborne, most of which 

have been abandoned, recovered 10 to 20 feet, and those in wells ia the 

shallow Pleistocene sand declined but little under constant pumping. Veil 

368, located only 50 feet from well 367, at camp No. 12, which was pimped 

continuously at a rate of about 400 gallons a minute, shows a decline of 

only 11 feet from the original static level.

SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA

Monthly observations were made in 4 wells in Jefferson Davls Pariah 

and in 1 well each in Acadia, Alien, Calcasieu, and Evangeline Parishes'. 

One recorder was operated on well JD-9, near Welsh, in Jefferson Davis 

Parish, and one on well Al-29 at Elizabeth in Alien Parish. Three »easurements one immediately after the pumping season, one in midwinter, and one 

in the spring before the pumping season were made in 8 wells in Acadia 

Parish, 2 wells in Alien Parish, 2 wells in Evangeline Parish, and 5 wells 

in Jefferson Davis Parish.

Bespite the excessive rainfall during the summer of 1942, the water 

levels of the rice-irrigation wells were somewhat lower than in 1941. The 

average monthly level in well JD-9, near Welsh (see fig. 4), was 2*2,7 

feet lower in 1942 than in 1941, when the water levels apparently reached 

the peak of their recovery since the low stages in 1958 and 1939. £|w 

average monthly water level in this well is shown below.

Water levels in the vicinity of Lake Charles and West Lake continued 

to decline In 1942, owing to increase.! pumping in the industrial section. 

The water level in well Cu-8, about 2 miles north of "West Lake, waa 17.5 

feet below the surface in August 1942, whereas in August 1940 it was only 

6.5 feet below the surface. Considerably larger declines may be ejected in 

1943 as a result of the expansion of industries in this ax**,

wall, the highest recorded in Louisiana, declined 3 pounds. It WAS originally 61 pounds per square inch, in 1939, but is now only 55 pounds, as measured 

at the land surface. The shallow wells in these two parishes showed little 

or no drop in pressure in 1942. Most of them are used for the irrigation 

of strawberries in the spring and are shut in the remainder Of the year to 

conserve the pressure.

In St. Tamnany Parish the artesian pressure in 8 key veils continued 

to decline, the losses averaging as much as 1 pound in the deep wells. 

Very few flowing wells in this parish are ever shut in or have their flow
18 WATER LEVELS AMD ARTESIAH PRESSURE, 1842, SOBTH-CEBTHAL STATES

Drescher, Junior engineer, indicates that the total flow of 1,147 wells 

recorded in St. Tammany Parish exceeds 35 million gallons a day. Approximately 85 percent of this total, or 30 million gallons a day, is allowed to 

flow off without being used. The Quantity of water wasted is equal to half 

the daily consumption of the city of Hew Orleans (population 404,557),

The most concentrated withdrawal of ground water-in Louisiana ta*»» 

place in Bast Baton Rouge Parish, where, in north Baton Rouge alone, approximately 53 million gallons a day Is pumped in the summer months from sends 

ranging in depth from 400 to 2,550 feet, (See fig. s ). About 48 nillioo 

gallons of this total pumpage is obtained from 76 wells In an area of l«*a 

than 6 square miles that constitutes the industrial section of Baton Rouge. 

About 85 percent of the pumpage in the industrial section Is from the 

"400-foot" and "600-foot" sands, which supply water suitable for cooling 

purposes.

The water levels of the "400-foot n and "600-foot" sands, which h»v* 

declined 150 to 200 feet since 1914, recovered somewhat in 1942, a» .shows 

in figure 6. Observation wells IB-15, SB-22, ^»45» 1S-S3, and ^-74 are

Figure 6.--Map of the lew Orleans, area, La., ehowing encroachment of 

brackish Hater in the "700-foot11 sand.

in wells within a radius of 2 miles of the industrial section, fhe water 

from the deep sands was formerly considered too warn for cooling purposes, 

but in recent years at least one industrial plant has been obliged to 

develop this water and build large cooling towers. This has eauaed the 

recent decline of wessure and has required the Installation of turbltte 

pumps in nearby deep wells. Such a well is well EB-82, which can no longer 

be observed.

Observations of water level in the vicinity of New Orleans in Jefferson Parish were begun in 1942 after it was learned that the only freahwater sand, coasnonly referred to in Hew Orleans as the "700-foot11 sand, is 

becoming brackish in the business district. Figure 6 shows th* chloride 

content of the water in this sand in 1942. It indicates that the concentrated
20 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

pumping of water in the commercial district for air-conditioning and industrial uses has lowered the water level sufficiently to allow braokiah 

water to move, up the dip of the sand from the south. Fortunately this 

water is not. used for drinking, but it is essential to many industries and 

any encroachment of brackish water constitutes a serious problem.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND RECORDS OF WATER LEVEL AND PRESSURE HEAD 

Observation wells in Louisiana are listed alphabetically by parishes 

and numerically within each parish. Complete descriptions are given only 

for newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a 

well number Indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of 

that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is given in the .paper whose number la 

so marked. For most wells the records given are of water level, expressed 

in feet; for a few, records of pressure head are given, expressed in pounds 

per square inch. The measurements in each well, whether of water level or 

pressure head, are referred to a fixed measuring point, and, as the measuring points for all the Louisiana wells are near the land surface, the measurements are referred also approximately to the land surface. The time of 

observation shown in the records for 1942 refers to central standard time 

prior to February 9 and to central war time thereafter.

INTRODUCTION

The observation-well program in Oklahoma, which was begun as early as 

1934 in at least one area, was continued in 1942 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of Interior, in cooperation with the Oklahoma 

Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College as 

part of the investigation of the ground-water resources of the State.

The area in which the first observations were made by the Federal 

Geological Survey is the Stillwater Creek Basin, where the well program was 

conducted from June 1934 to July 1940 in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, and has since been 

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

Agronomy of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College at Stillwater. 

Dr. M. J. Plice, also of the Department of Agronomy, who made the waterlevel measurements in 1941, continued this work in 1942. The remainder of 

the ground-water investigation in the State in 1942 was conducted by the 

Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey. It includes the Panhandle program, begun in 1937, the Cleveland , 

County program, begun in 1939 and enlarged during 1942 as part of an 

investigation of the water resources of the "Norman water sand"j and the 

North Canadian River Valley program, begun in 1940, to which 58 wells in 

Canadian County were added during 1942.

Bivief descriptions of the topography and geology of the parts of the 

State covered by the program and their relation to the ground-water resources 

have been published as follows; Stillwater Creek Basin, in Water-Supply 

Paper 777; the Panhandle, in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845; Cleveland 

County, in Water-Supply Papers 886 and 939; and North Canadian River Valley 

in Water-Supply Paper 909.

In 1942 progress was made in the investigation of the ground-water 

resources in several of the areas mentioned. In the Oklahoma Panhandle, 

which is made up of Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas Counties, the investigation

had previously been completed in Texas County only-. In 1942 it was completed

In Clmarron County, and title report submitted to the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey for review and editing. In Beaver County the field work was completed, with the exception of certain geologic phases that can be best 

handled by S. L. Schoff, now on leave from the Federal Geological Survey 

for duty in the amed services. This part of the work will be postponed 

for the duration of the war, so that Lieutenant Schoff may complete it on 

his return to the Survey. In the North Canadian River Valley the investigation was continued, 58 additional wells in Canadian County having been 

observed. In Cleveland County, an investigation of the "Norman water sand", 

referred to in Water-Supply Paper 939 as the "so-called Garber sandstones*, 

was begun near the end of the year. This aquifer is probably the most 

important source of water in the State at the present time, as large military 

and naval establishments and war industries, as well as several cities and 

towns, draw their supplies from it.

During the year 936 measurements of water level were made in 179 wells 

in 10 counties. The .stillwater Creek Basin and North Canadian River Valley 

wells were measured monthly. Wells of the Panhandle group were measured 

twice, in April and October, except Beaver 528, which was measured weekly, 

and Beaver 573 and 612, which were measured monthly as part of the North 

Canadian River Valley program. The Canadian County wells were measured 

monthly during the summer and fall. In Cleveland County, wells 1.and 2 

were measured weekly during the winter and spring and monthly during the 

summer and fall; at the end of the year weekly measurements were started in 

wells 4 and 5; and oh December 15 an automatic water-stage recorder was 

placed in operation on well 5.

WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS

The Panhandle

The weighted average of the water levels in the Oklahoma Panhandle 

(see Water-Supply Papers 909 and 939), in response to the above-normal 

precipitation, rose to a new high during 1942, continuing the general trend 

upward which started in April 1941. Previous to this, the average water 

level had fluctuated through less than 0.17 foot, but in October 1942 the 

average was 0.95 foot higher than in January 1941, 0.29 foot higher than in 

October 1941, and 1.00 foot higher than the lowest recorded level.
OKLAHOMA 30

In Beaver County, the weighted average of the water levels was 0.53 

foot higher in October 1942 than in October 1941, even though the average 

water level of the wells in the alluvium had dropped 2.32 feet in the year 

indicated. The water levels in wells on the uplands in the northwestern 

part of the county, where the Ogallala formation is the principal aquifer, 

continued the upward trend that had been in progress, with only minor interruptions, since the beginning of the record, and the average water level of 

October 1942 was 0.83 foot higher than that of October 1941. In the southern 

and eastern parts of the county, where nany wells tap water in the redbeds, 

the average water level was 0.42 foot higher in October 1942 than in October 

1941 and 0.24 foot higher than in September 1938, when it had been the 

highest recorded.

In Cimarron County, the water levels in the observation wells declined 

slightly during the year from the record-high levels of 1941. The water 

levels for October 1942 showed an average drop of 0.10 foot from the levels 

of November 1941, which nre the highest recorded since measurements were 

started, in July 1938. This average decline in water level for the county 

was due to the decline in average water level of the wells in the alluvium, 

which, although still relatively hi;-;h in October 1942, was 1.52 feet lower 

than in November 1941. The water levels in the wells on the upland flats, 

which tap water in the Ogallala formation and, in some places, in the Dakota 

sandstone, averaged 0.07 foot higher in October 1942 than in November 1941. 

The average for October 1942, however, was 0.06 foot lower than the average 

for April 1942, which was the highest ever recorded for this group of wells.

In Texas County, the water levels also continued to rise, although, as. 

in previous years, the range of fluctuation was smaller than in the other 

two counties in the Panhandle. The average water level for Texas County in 

October 1942 was the highest ever recorded and 0.35 foot higher than the 

level for November 1941, the previous high. The wells tapping the alluvium 

showed the greatest fluctuation during the year, the average water level 

for these wells in April 1942 being the highest ever recorded, 0.35 foot 

higher than the average in November 1941, the previous high. In October 

1942, however, the average dropped 0.65 foot below the April 1942 average. 

The average of the water levels in wells tapping the Ogallala formation 

continued to rise during 1942, and for October of that year it was 0.39 foot

higher than the average for November 1941, which had previously been the 

highest recorded. The water level in the one redbed well that is measured 

in Texas County also rose considerably. It was 0.17 foot higher in October 

1942 than the level recorded in November 1941 and only 0.02 foot lower than) 

the highest recorded level for this well.

used in computing the average water levels for the area, is situated 

so close to the shore line of Lake Blackwell as to be unduly affected by the 

lake level and was therefore dropped from the group selected for this purpose. 

New averages for the group excluding well 12 were computed, and relative 

changes in water level have been based on the new figures.

The highest average water level for the period of record was attained 

on the 27th and 29th of April, the wettest month of the year. It was 0.40 

foot higher than the previous high, which occurred November 2-3, 1941, and 

8.71 feet higher than the lowest water level recorded, which occurred 

September 26, 1940. On December 28, 1942, the average water level had 

dropped 1.02 feet below the level on December 3l, 1941.

During the period of record, beginning in 1934, the water levels in 

the Stillwater Creek Basin have responded rather promptly to 'precipitation, 

generally showing significant rises after rains. This effect ia illustrated 

by figure 9, in which a hydrograph showing the average of the water levels 

ia compared -with the cumulative departure from normal precipitation. The 

departxtre ia computed beginning with the year 1931, which was about the 

beginning of a succession of dry years. Figure 9 also shows the beneficial 

effect of storage in Lake Blackwell, which has been filling up in the last 

few years. Despite the fact that the cumulative departure curve is still 

below normal, the water levels during 1942 were higher than during 1935, 

.when precipitation was above normal.

Cleveland County

There are 4 observation wells in Cleveland County. Well 1 is shallow 

and readily shows large and rapid rises due to local precipitation. The 

high levels reached in 1941 were maintained during 1942 by ample precipitation 

During the year the water level varied through a vertical range of 6.05 feet; 

and, although the highest it reached was 0.54 foot below the highest recorded 

levsl, Its low for 1942 was 7.38 feet above the lowest recorded level. On 

December 31, 1942, the water level was 0.99 foot lower than on December 6, 

1941.

We.ll 2 is deep and taps artesian water in the "Norman water sand" 

which is the principal source of supply for the area. Although the precipitation was below normal during the first three months of 1942, the steady

rise In water level of the preceding year, which was due to heavy precipitation, continued through the first part of the year. On May 16 the highest 

level recorded since measurements began on February 8, 1941, was reached. 

This level was 14.12 feet above the record low level and 4.50 feet above 

the level of December 6, 1941, the highest recorded during that year. 

During the latter part of May, the water level began to decline and continued 

to decline slowly through June. But during July the decline became rapid 

and continued throughout the remainder of the year at a rate of about 2 feet 

a month, even though the total precipitation for these months was above 

normal. This sharp decline in water level was due to the heavy pumpage 

from the "Norman water sand," which increased considerably during April 

because of the large supply demanded for the construction of two naval bases 

in the vicinity of Norman.

Cleveland County well 4, located in the city of Norman well field, was 

measured only four times during the year, in November and December. However, 

even these few measurements show a steady decline, owing to the heavy 

pumpage. On December 19, 1942, the water level had declined 5.11 feet since 

November 20, 1942, and was approximately 15.5 feet lower than the level on 

March 23, 1940. Unfortunately, the 1940 measurement was made from a different measuring point, which has since been destroyed; therefore, the difference in water leval is only approximate, but nevertheless it shows that a 

considerable decline has occurred.

Cleveland County well 5, also, was measured only during November and 

December 1942, an automatic water-stage recorder being in operation since 

December 15. The record is too short to determine whether or not this well, 

5 miles east of Norman, is being influenced by the pumpage in the Norman 

area; but it is affected by nearby pumpage and variations in atmospheric 

pressure. Although the water level was 3.61 feet lower on December 31, 1942, 

than on December 6, 1941, it was 2.06 feet higher on December 31, 1942, t.^an 

on April 13, 1940.

North Canadian River Valley

Heavey and' widely scattered precipitation throughout the year caiised 

the water level in the observation wells along the North Canadian River to 

fluctuate greatly in 1942. Most of the wells are near the river, and consequently their water levels follow closely air; change in the river; and,
AS IMfflR.WWELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOOTH-CEHTHAL STATES

as the wells were measured at monthly Intervals, only general conclusions 

can be drawn from the records obtained. The well at Beaver, however, was 

measured weekly throughout the year, and the fluctuations in it are probably 

typical of wells on the flood plain of the river. The water level was relatively high at the beginning of the year, although it was declining from a 

peak reached at the end of October 1941. It continued to decline, with minor 

interruptions, through January, February, and March, reaching the lowest 

point in its downward trend on April 3. During the following week it rose 

more than a foot in response to heavy precipitation and then dropped slightly. 

On April 24 it rose again, this time to the highest level of the year and 

only 0.05 foot below the highest recorded level, which occurred on July 6,

1941. Thereafter it declined rather steadily, with only intermittent small 

Irises, until on October 16 it reached its low for the year, which was 5.12 

feet below its high reached on April 24. The rains that fell during the 

latter part of October started the water level on an upward trend again, 

and this continued throughout the remainder of the year. On December 24,

1942. it was 1.79 feet lower than on December 26, 1941, and the total fluctuation throughout the year was 5.12 feet. The other wells in the group had 

total recorded fluctuations varying from 0.81 foot to 4.95 feet; but, as 

some of the wells were not measurable at times during the year and as' the 

stage of the river affects most of them considerably, their actual fluctuations in level were probably greater.

Canadian County

The measurements of water level in Canadian County in 1942 were made 

during the summer and fall, when 63 wells were measured at monthly intervals. 

All these wells are located in the valley of the North Canadian River, although several of them completely penetrate the alluvium and tap water in 

the underlying Permian redbeds. Prom contour maps of the water table, it 

seems that the water tables of the redbeds and the alluvium are interconnected, at least on the south side of the valley, although the redbeds have 

a much lower permeability than the porous sands and gravels of the valley 

fill. The quantity of Water flowing from the redbeds into the. alluvium is 

probably small compared to the recharge through the surface of the alluvium 

and from the river when-the river is higher than the water table.
OKLAHOMA 47

The water levels In this part of Canadian County were relatively high 

in 1942, although no comparable figures are available for earlier years. 

As the river is influent in timea of flood and effluent in dry periods, the 

wella closest to the river should have the greatest fluctuations. This 

holds true for most wells in Canadian County, the exceptions being those 

subject to unusual conditions, such as local recharge through a sand dune, 

proximity to a pond, or influx of flood overflow that cannot return directly 

to the river. The fluctuations in water level in the wells varied from 0.24 

foot to 6.37 feet. Generally, the water levels were high during May, rose 

considerably in June, and then gradually declined through the summer and 

fall.

PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation in Oklahoma in 1942 was 39.96 inches, which

is 7.30 inches above the51-year average but 7.06 inches less than the average

I/ 

for 1941. January was the driest month and April the wettest. In April,

the State received 4.S3 inches more than the average rainfall for that month

2/ 

and set a new "high" record for April."*

Precipitation in the Panhandle ranged from 22.47 inches at Hooker to 

29.59 inches at Guymon, and the average for the six stations was 25.30 

inches, which is about 6.5 inches above normal.

For 9 stations along the North Canadian River in the stretch from 

Oklahoma City to Supply, the average precipitation was 32,64 inches, about 

3.5 inches above normal. At individual stations, the amount of rainfall 

varied from 26.38 inches at Woodward to 37.91 inches at Geary.

In Cleveland County, Norman received 39.14 inches of- rain, more than. 

9 inches above normal, and Sfcillwater, in Payne County, received 45.33 

inches, more than 11 inches above normal. Shawnee, in Pottawatomie County, 

east of the area of outcrop of the "Norman water sand," recorded 45,76 inches 

of rainfall, about 11 inches above normal.

PUMPAGE IN THE PANHANDLE

It is estimated that about 1,060 acre-feet of water was pumped in the 

Oklahoma Panhandle during 1942, divided as follows: Beaver County, 285 

acre-feet; Cimarron County, 90 acre-feet; and Texas County, 685 acre-feet. 

This is only 40 acre-feet less than the estimate for 1941, when conditions

throughout the year were about the same as in 1942. Comparatively little

irrigating was done during the year, as the precipitation was heavy over 

the area and soil-moisture conditions were generally good during most of 

the growing season.

only newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following 

a well number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of 

that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is given in that paper. The water 

levels In all wells except those in Canadian County were converted to feet 

below the original measuring point so that the measurements for 1942 would 

be comparable with those for previous years. The water levels in the wells 

of Canadian County are given in feet above mean sea level.

INTRODUCTION

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in observation veils 

in Texas have been made since 1929 by the Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Texas State Board of 

later Engineers. During parts of this period other agencies, including 

the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of 

Agriculture, the Red Bluff Water Power and Control District, and til* cities 

of El Paso, Lufkin, Houston, and Galveston, have cooperated in collecting 

water-level measurements.

During 1942, 7,060 measurements in all were made in about 1,000 well*, 

distributed among 44 counties. For the purpose of obtaining continuous 

records of fluctuations of water in selected areas, water-stage recorders 

were maintained on 15 wells in those areas. In some parts of the State 

water levels were measured at intervals of a month or less, but for most 

of the State the interval between measurements was from 4 months to a year.

PRBCIPITATIOK

The precipitation during 1942 for the State as a whole was 5.05 Inches 

above the average. The United States Weather Bureau, for the purpose of 

summarizing its climatologic data on the State, has divided Texas into 

three parts western, middle, and eastern. The western division lie* west 

of the 101st meridian; the middle division lies between toe 101»t and 97th 

meridians; and the eastern division lies east of the 97th meridian. In the 

western division the precipitation was generally below the average for th* 

months of January, February, March, May, June and November And above the 

average for each of the other south* of the year. In the middle division

the precipitation was generally below the average for the months of January, 

70
TEXAS 71

February, March, May, November, and December and above the average for each 

of the other months, la the eastern division the precipitation was 

generally below the average for January, February, March, May, October, 

November, and December and above the average for each of the other months.

According to the Weather Bureau's summary for the year, the precipitation averaged above normal In all three divisions. The amount during the 

year varied considerably from station to station within each division. In 

the western division the range in amount was from 8.69 inches at Presidio 

to 32.87 inches at Spearman; in the middle division, from 13,94 inches at 

Mission to 47.37 inches at Hlllsboro; and in the eastern division, from 

26.83 inches at Valley Junction to 71.29 inches at Port Arthur. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Ground-water conditions affecting fluctuations of water level vary so 

greatly in Texas that It is not practicable to discuss the fluctuations 

for the State as a whole. Therefore they are here discussed under six 

general regions, into which the State has been divided according to the 

conditions prevalent in each.

BALCONIS FAULT ZONE . Most of the observation wells in Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, KInney, 

Trmvis, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Willlamson Counties are in the Balcones fault 

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

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

Edwards limestone supplies the springs of this fault zone from the vicinity 

of Comatock, in Val Verde County, eastward through' the cities of Del Bio, 

San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos to Austin. It also supplies 

irrigation wells In Bexar and Uvalde Counties and public and industrial 

wells in San Antonio and other and smaller cities. Some of the springs it 

supplies rank among the larger springs of the United States. The combined 

maximum recorded daily discharge of the seven largest Goodenough, San 

Fellpe, Las Moras, San Antonio, Comal, San Marcos, and Barton is more than 

1,200,000,000 gallons, and their average daily discharge is about 650,000,000 

gallons. A flowing well at San Antonio that taps this limestone had a 

measured daily yield of 23,900,000 gallons on June 16, 1942, and an artesian 

head of 56 feet above the land surface. Most of the observation wells in 

the Edwards limestone are artesian, and their water levels rise quickly after 

heavy rains in the outcrop area.
72 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

During 1942 water-level measurements in most of the observation wells 

in the Balcones fault zone were made in the spring, summer, and fall,

Val Verde County, In the three wells observed in thia county, the 

water levela measured in 1948, as compared with those measured in 1941, 

were slightly higher in the spring, averaged about 2,5 feet lower la the 

summer, and averaged about 2.8 feet higher in the fall.

Kinney County. In the seven observation wells drawing from the Edward; 

limestone for which measurements at corresponding seasons in both years are 

available, the water levels were lower in 1942 than in 1941. They averaged 

about 3.5 feet lower in the spring, about 5.7 feet lower in the summer and 

about 2 feet lower in the fall. In the five observation wells in the Austii 

chalk for which measurements at the same seasons in both years are availabli 

the water levels in 1942 were about 3 feet lower in the spring, 3,7 feet 

lower in the summer, and 0.5 foot lower in the fall,

Uvalde County. In this county the water levels for 1941 and 1942 in 

eight wells may be compared. Six of the wells draw water from the Edwards 

limestone, and the other two draw it from the Austin chalk. The water 

levels in the wells drawing from the Edwards limestone averaged about 2.7 

feet higher in the spring, about 1.9 feet lower in the summer, and about 3 

feet lower In the fall of 1942 than in the corresponding seasons of 1941, 

In the wells drawing from the Austin chalk, the water levela were lower 

throughout the spring, summer, and fall of 1942 than throughout th» corresponding seasons of 1941,

Medina V 0^untyr«. In the si<x observation wells In the Edwards limestone 

in Medina County, the water levels averaged 8.6 feet lover' In the spring, 

4.5 feet lower In- the summer, and 2.7 feet higher in the fall of 1942 than 

in the corresponding seasons of 1941.

Bexar County, In the seven wells in the Idwarda limestone In Bexar 

County the fluctuations of water level were similar to those observed in 

wells In the same formation In Medina Count?, to the west. The water level: 

averaged 7-.-2 feet lower In the spring, 4.2 feat lower In the simmer, and 4.1 

feet higher In the fall of 1942 than in the corresponding seasons of 1941,

Comal County,. In the 10 observation wells in the Edwards limestone In. 

Cooal County for which measurements at corresponding seasons In 1941 and 

1942 are available, the water levels averaged 0.8 foot higher In the spring 

and 3.5 feet higher In the fall of 1942 than In the corresponding seasons 

of 1941.

Hays County. In the wells observed In Hays County the water levels 

were generally lower In the spring and summer of 1948 than In the spring 

and summer of 1941.' In the fall of 1942, however, In sons wells the water 

levels were higher and In some lower than they were In the fall Of 1941. 

The fluctuations varied so greatly between large and small In the individual 

wells that general averages of water level for the county are not significant,

Travla County In this county 23 wells were added to the observationwell program In 1942. In six wells for which measurements are available 

for corresponding seasons in 1941 and 1942 the water levels were considerably 

lower In the summer and winter of 1942 than in the summer and winter of 

1941.

Wllllamsqn County^. Water*level measurements at corresponding seasons 

In 1941 and 1942 are available for nine observation wells la Williajason 

County. In both summer and winter the water levels la these wells averaged 

lower in 1942 than In 1941, in summer 17 to 35 feet lower.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dlmmlt and Zavala Counties. Farts of Dlmmit and Zavala Counties are 

In the Winter Garden district of Texas, in which several thousand stores of 

land have been Irrigated for the last 23 years. Daring the period 1937-38 

about 22,000 acres was Irrigated, and both the acreage under irrigation and 

the pumpage were materially increased during the period 1941-48* Hearly 

all the water used for Irrigation Is derived from the Carriso san&, which 

crops out ta a belt about 1 to 7 miles wide extending across the western 

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

the eastern part of Maverick County, and th* western part of IFvalda County. 

The sand is about 200 feet thick on the average and dips generally east and 

southeast. The belt in which it can be reached within a depth of 1,000 

feet is about 15 miles wide.
TEXAS 76

In observation wells in the outcrop area of the Carrtzo sand that are 

remote froa pumping, the water levels show relatively little seasonal or 

yearly fluctuation and have changed only slightly during the last 13 years. 

Prom August 1941 to August 1942, however, there was an average decline of 

0,66foot In water levels in the outcrop area. In the area down the, dip of 

the sand, where pumping has been heavy, the water levels were lower in 

August 1942 than in August 1941. In most of the wells they were only a 

fraction of a foot to a few feet lower In August 1942 than in July 1939, 

and in nine wells they were higher. In most of the wells the water levels 

were no lower In August 1942 than in August 1930 and July 1955* In a few 

wells they reached their lowest recorded stage in 1942. fhis apparent 

decline of water levels in the outcrop area may not be significant, because 

in most wells they were affected by the pumping of nearby irrigation wells 

on, the outcrop. The following table gives the number of wells observed and 

the average decline of water level from August 1941 to August 1942 In 

several areas in the Winter Garden district.

* SOUTHEAST TEXAS 

Wharton county. Wharton County is the leading rice-producing county la

Texas. Both surface water and ground water are used to irrigate the rice 

crop. It Is estimated that approximately 30,OOO acre-feet was pumped from 

wells in 1939 in the county for this purpose. The growing season of 1941 

was abnormally wet, and irrigation requirements, therefore, were below 

normal. The reduction in the pumping and the recharge from the heavy rainfall were reflected in the w<iter levels. Measurements of water level were 

made twice during 1942 In 22 observation wells in April and December. 

For the purpose Of comparing the water levels in different years, however,
76 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

the spring measurements only are used, because they are Hade before Irrigation has begun and the wells have therefore not been ptoaped for 7 Booths 

or longer, thus allowing the water levels to make their maxima recovery. 

On the average based on 22 wells, water levels in Wharton County were 1.28 

feet higher in the spring of 1942 than in the spring of 1941.

Jackson County.--The water levels in Jackson County, on the average, 

were higher in December 1942 than in December 1941. No spring measurements 

were made. (For comparison of water levels in different years, spring 

measurements are usually used.) The winter measurements of 1942 in most 

wells were higher than the spring measurements of 1941.

Houston and Galveston areas. Fluctuations of water level were observed 

in 1942 in four general areas, each designated by the principal city or 

town within it. They are the Houston, Qalveston, Katy, and Pasadena areas, 

in all of which the fluctuations are Influenced chiefly by heavy pumping.

In the Houston and Pasadena areas the average pumpage In 1941 was 77 

million gallons a day, or 2 million gallons a day less than in 1940, although the number of ground-water developments was increased In 1941. The 

unusually heavy rainfall in 1941 and frequent showers during the summer of 

that year supplied much of the water required for watering lawns and gardens 

and for Industrial cooling, leaving much less than usual to be supplied 

from pumpage for these uses. In 1942 the average puapage IB the two Areas 

was about 85 million gallons a day, or 7 million gallons a day_ more 'than 

In 1941. This increase cave about because of an increase In 1942 in the 

number of ground-water developments for war industries and municipalities

and partly because the rainfall was less In 1942, than la 1941.

ir 

A general decline of water levels in the Houston and Pasadeaa areas

began in 1937 and continued through 1941, but at a diminishing rate until 

1942. For example, the average decline in the observation wells in these 

areas between the spring of 1941 and the spring of 1942 was 2.5 feet, as 

compared with 5.3 feet for the preceding year. In 1942, however, the great 

acceleration in the rate of pumping caused an acceleration In the rat* of 

decline of the water levels throughout the area.

In the Katy rice-growing area about 27,350 acres of rice was planted 

in 1941. It was irrigated with the pumpage fro* 95 wells. In 1840, 24,200
TVU.Q 77

acres was planted, and this was Irrigated with the puapage from 88 well** 

The pumpage In 1941 was equivalent to about 23 million gallons a day throughout the year, or about half that of 1940. This decrease In pumpage was 

owing to the abnormally heavy rainfall in 1941. During 1942 about 30,400 

acres of rice was planted, and 105 wells were pumped to provide irrigation 

for It. The pumpage was equivalent to about 38 million gallons a day 

throughout the year. Although the total pumpage was about 65 percent greater 

in 1942 than in 1941, the pumpage per acre of rice was still below normal. 

This condition came about because the rainfall during the growing season 

was again above the average of 1942, although less during the growing 

season of 1942.

As a result of the relatively small pumpage in 1941, the gradual 

decline of water levels in the Katy area that had persisted since 1931 gave 

place to a general rise between the spring of 1941 and the spring of 1942, 

the average rise in 44 wells being 2,1 feet.

In the Houston area the magnitude of the decline in an observation 

well depends on the position of the well with respect to the centers of 

heavy pumping and on the amount of water pumped. The fluctuations of water 

level in four typical observation wells in Houston during the period 1931-48 

are shown In figures 12 and 13.

Throughout Qalveston County the water levels continued to decline 

during 1942, owing to heavy pumping. ,

EAST TEXAS

Angelina and Haeogdoches Counties. Heavy pumping for a paper mill, 

which began to operate In 1939 in the vicinity of Lufkln, caused the water 

levels in deep wells tapping the Carrlzo sand In Angelina and Haeogdoches 

Counties to decline from 1939 through the spring and summer of 1941, the 

amount of decline in the several observation wells varying with the 

distance of each from the center of pumping. Because ( the pumping near 

Lufkln has been at a nearly constant rate since 1939, the water levels in 

these wells have reached essential equilibrium as far as the effect of the 

pumping is concerned, and the water levels have become more or less 

stabilized. During the latter part of 1941 and the entire year of 1942, 

there was no further marked decline. In some of the wells the water levels

rose slightly during the latter part of 1942.

The fluctuation of water levels in three of the wells is shown in 

figure 14. One of these, (well 113A) is about 7 miles northeast of 

Nacogdoches and beyond the influence of heavy pumping. The other two (wells 

168 and 169) are in Angelina County, near the heavy pumping at Lufkln.

HIGH PLAINS

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

which extends from the northern boundary of the Panhandle southwest about 

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

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

places by a bold escarpment several hundred feet high.

Irrigation by means of wells in the High Plains of Texas was begun 

near Plainview, Hereford, and Muleshoe more than 30 years ago. Following . 

are estimates of the total number of wells pumped and the total acreage 

irrigated by them during the years 1937-40: f 

Year Wells Acres

1937 1,150 160,000

1938 1,500 200,000

1939 1,700 230,000

1940 2,100 280,000

It is estimated that the total pumpage for irrigation in 1940 was 

probably about 190,000 acre-feet. In 1941 about 380 new wells were drilled, 

but the pumpage for irrigation was probably not more than 50,000 acr0»f*st. 

In 1942 about 116 new Irrigation wells were drilled, making an estimated 

total of 2,680 on the High Plains, from which about 60,000 acre-f«efc of 

water was pumped. :

The following discussion of the fluctuation of water levels la walls 

in the High Plains is quoted from a report Issued in 1943 by the Texas 

State Board of Water Engineers!

Fluctuations of water levels in pumping districts

In general in the pumping districts It has been found that the most 

dependable Information regarding the stage of the underground r»s0rvolrs is 

obtained by comparing measurements made In successive years In the early 

spring, just before the start of heavy pumping. The statements given 

below regarding the decline or rise in water levels from 1938 to 1945 are 

based mostly on a comparison of measurements made In March. In son* cases 

January and February measurements were used.

82 WATER LEVELS AMD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

There was a general decline of the water table In all the pumping districts of the High Plains from 1938 to 1941. This was followed by a general 

rise during the simmer and fall of 1941 and the spring of 1942 as a result 

of the exceptionally high rainfall and light pumping in 1941. Except in 

localities of large recharge the greatest rise occurred In the areas where 

the pumping had been heaviest, and in such area* a part of this rise 

doubtless was due to the fact that the pumping in 1941 was light and ground 

water moved in from outlying unpumped areas. However a considerable part 

of 'the rise can be attributed to recharge, which probably was greater than 

it has been in any year since 1915 and several times the recharge in most 

years. In 1942 the pumping again was light and there was comparatively 

little net change in water levels.

N Plainvlew district

The records of water levels in 56 representative observation veils la 

the Plainvlew district have been selected as a basis for computing the rise 

and fall and. net change in water levels in the district from 1938 to 1943. 

These wells are fairly well distributed over about 1,000 square miles, 

comprising areas of both heavy and light pumping. Partial records of 40 

representative wells show the trend throughout the greater part of the 

district. None of the wells are near known areas of important recharge. 

The records show a decline of water levels in the wells of the district 

ranging from a fraction of a foot to 6 feet and averaging 2.7 feet. The 

greatest decline, averaging about 4 feet, occurred in the heavily pumped 

areas in the central and east-central parts of the district. In areas of 

moderate and light pumping the average decline was about 2 feet,

Rise of water levels from 1941 to 1942. The records show an average 

rise of 2.0 feet in the district from March 1941 to February 1943.

Het change in water levels from 1938 to 1945j, The records show an

average net decline of r'T, i feet in toe district froa March 1938 to 

1943, In areas of heaviest pumping the average decline was 2.1 feet, and 

in areas of moderate pumping it was 1.1 feet. In a few wells in areas of 

very light pumping the water levels were as high in 1943 as ihey ware la

from 1958 to February 1945. The average decline was 1.1 feet in areas of 

heavy pumping and 0.5 foot in areas of moderate to light pumping.

Net change in water levels from 1954 to 1945, Three of the observation 

wells in the Hereford district located in areas that are rather heavily 

pumped were measured in 1954. Two of them showed the same net decline, 2.1 

feet, from 1954 to February 1945. The third showed a net rise of 5.7 feet 

from 1954 to February 1945. * * *

Net change in water levels from 1914 to 1945. One observation well 

in an area of heavy pumping was measured in 1914, This well showed a 

decline of 8.5 feet from 1914 to 1941, a rise of 0,8 foot from 1941 to 

1945, and a net decline of 7.7 feet from 1914 to 1943.

Muleshoe district

Thirty-six observation wells distributed fairly evenly over the Muleshoe 

district showed an average decline of 1.6 feet from March 1958 to March 1941, 

an average rise of 8.0 feet from March 1941 to February 1945, and a net? rise, 

therefore, of 6,4 feetr from 1958 to 1945. * * *

Iflibboek-Littlefield district

The records of 26 well-distributed observation wells that are at considerable distances from any known areas of Important intake were selected 

for computing the changes in water levels in the Lubboek-Littlefield 

pumping district. These wells showed a decline from the spring of 1958 to 

the spring of 1941 ranging from .05 foot to 5.59 feet and averaging 1,6 

feet, and a'rise from the spring of 1941 to the spring of 1945 ranging from 

1.11 feet to about 8 feet and averaging 5,9 feet. This represents a net 

average rise of 2,5 feet.

Texline district

Records of observation wells in the Texline district show little 

change in water levels from the spring of 1957 to the fall of 1941. No 

records are available for 1942 and 1945.

Fluctuations of water levels in, wells near areaa of intake

Most of the observation wells in the High Plains which are near areas 

of Intake (stream beds, depression ponds, and sand dunes) are in the 

Irrigated districts or closely adjacent to them and are affeoted to some 

extent by the pumping. Such wells showed a more or less persistent downward trend from 1958 to the spring of 1941, the average In their principal 

districts being Plainview, 4.1 feet, and Hereford, 2.1 feet. In contrast 

to this, very little change or a slight net rise was shown during the same 

period by a few observation wells near areas of intake in localities which 

border the Irrigated districts but are far enough away to be not appreciably 

affected by the pumping. All the observation wells near areas of Intake la 

the Irrigation districts showed a sharp rise in water levels from the 

spring of 1941 to the spring of 1942, the average rise being as follows: 

Plalnview district, 5.2 feet (25 wells); Hereford district, 2 feet (8 wella)| 

labbock-Littlefleld district, 5.1 feet (20 wells). Most of these wells 

continued to rise slowly during 1942, but a few showed a small decline.

Fluctuations of water levels in walls rempte fTffiB PUBretoS districts 

and areas of intake

Of 36 observation wells in 12 counties that are remote from both the 

pumping districts and known areas of intake, 23 wells showed a small net 

rise and 13 a small net decline from 1937 or 1938 to 1941. The algebraic 

sum of the net change in all 36 wells gives a rise of about 0.3 foot. 

From 1941 to 1943 these same wells showed an average rise of about 1.9 feet.

WEST TEXAS

Loving. Reeves, and Ward Counties. The principal water-bearing 

formations in this area are the Rustler limestone, of Permian age; sandstones of Triassic age; limestones and sandstones of Lower Cretaceous age; 

and conglomeratic alluvial deposits of sand and gravel, which have been 

subdivided by geologists into the older and the younger alluvium.

Although it is rather highly mineralized, some water from the Rustler 

limestone is usable for stock and irrigation. The cities of Pecoa and 

Barstow and several industrial plants and oil fields in east-central Hard 

County obtain water from the Triassic sandstones. Limestones and sandstones 

of Lower Cretaceous age supply the several large springs, notably San Solomon 

Spring, and Phantom Lake, in southeastern Reeves County, and Santa Rosa, 

Comanche, and Leon Springs, in Pecoa County. The water from these springs 

is used to irrigate approximately 16,000 acres of land*

The older alluvium is believed to have been deposited In depressions 

of various sizes resulting from the solution of soluble rooks in underlying 

formations older than the Rustler. This alluvium is more than 1,500 f*«t 

thick in some places, but it thickens and thina rapidly within short 

distances. The Pecos artesian aquifer, which is made up of one to several 

beds of sand and gravel of the older alluvium, contains highly mineralized 

water and extends several milea west and southwest of Pecos. Muoh of the 

irrigation In the vicinity of Pecos depends on water from this alluvium. 

In 1940, about 11,000 aere-feet of water was used to irrigate about 2,460 

acres of land near Peoos.

The younger alluvium, averaging 25 feet or less in thickness, underlies the Fecos River flood plain and the lower terraces. In most places it 

is rather permeable and rapidly absorbs water applied for irrigation.

Loving County. In seven observation wells water levels were from 1 

to 11 feet higher in the spring and fall of 1942 than they were in the 

spring and fall of 1941.
TEXAS 85

Reeves County. Water-stage recorders were maintained on several wells 

in Reeves County, and the records show that during the 1942 season the 

water levels were lowest during the latter part of July, all of August, and 

the early part of September. In other observation wells in the county for 

which measurements in 1942 are available, the water levels in February and 

December were at nearly the same stages as they were in February and 

December of 1941.

Ward County, The water levels in wells in Ward County were generally 

somewhat higher in the spring of 1942 than in the spring of 1941; in the 

winters of the two years their averages were about equal.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Texas are listed alphabetically by counties and 

numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given for only 

newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses Immediately following a well 

number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that 

well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk Indicates 

that a description of the well is given in the paper so marked, 'For most 

counties In Texas In which wells have been observed, the water level Is 

expressed In feet and ^referred to a fixed measuring point. For wells In 

El Paso County, the water level Is expressed In feet above mean sea level.
