WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSUFES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1955

Part 3. NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

The publication of records of water levels and artesian pressures annually in the United 

States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. Prior to 1940 the records for each year were 

published in a single volume 1935, 777; 1936, 817; 1937, 840; 1938, 845; 1939, 886. Since 1940 

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

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of the country. Hawaii is 

included in the southwestern section. The following table gives the numbers of Water-Supply 

Papers from 1940 through 1955.

The objectives of the observation-well program are to provide a day-to-day evaluation of 

available ground-water supplies, to facilitate the prediction of trends in ground-water levels that 

will indicate the probable status of important ground-water supplies in the future, to delineate 

present or potential areas of detrimentally high or low ground-water levels, to aid in the prediction of the base flow of streams, to determine the several forces that act on a ground-water body 

and to demonstrate the interplay of those forces in the ground-water regimen, to furnish inforrration for use in basic research, and to provide long-term continuous records of fluctuations of 

water levels in representative wells. These selected records serve as a framework to which 

many short-term records collected during an intensive investigation may be related.

Water levels in wells are seldom stationary but move up or down a fraction of an inch or 

many feet within a short time. Water-table wells may be influenced by direct recharge from 

precipitation, withdrawals from wells or springs, transpiration by vegetation, evaporation 

from the soil, and changes in atmospheric pressure. Artesian wells are influenced over large 

areas by changes in the rate of pumping from other wells, changes in atmospheric pressure, 

earthquakes, ocean tides, earth tides, and recharge from precipitation, although the recharge 

may not be noticeable immediately. When accurate comparisons of water levels are made it is 

desirable to apply corrections for these influences, several of which may be compensating or 

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1955, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-surface datum or sealevel datum. Land-surface datum is a precise datum plane that is approximately at land surface 

at each well. Mean sea level (msl) is the datum plane on which the national network of precise 

levels is based. When some measurements in a table are above and others are below the plane 

of reference, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each 

column. Readings between plus signs are above the plane of reference and those between minus 

signs are below the plane of reference.

For the most part, discussions of precipitation in this report are based on data furnished 

by the United States Weather Bureau.

Measurements of water levels and artesian pressures in wells were made under the direction of the district supervisors of the Ground Water Branch in the several States.

Scope of Water-Level Program

Measurements of water level were continued in 1955 in the well at Princeton, Bureau County. 

This well was equipped with a nonrecording gage in November 1942; observations have been made 

at weekly intervals since that time. In 1948, recording gages were installed on wells at the 

Argonne National Laboratory in Du Page County. Records of these wells are in altitude above 

sea level to conform with other data at the laboratory.

Precipitation

In 1955, the precipitation at Tiskilwa, the nearest rainfall station, as obtained from records 

of the U. S. Weather Bureau, was 30. 60 inches, 3. 85 inches below the normal of 34. 45.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The well at Princeton reflects the natural fluctuation of water level unaffected by pumped 

wells. Figure 2 shows the fluctuation of the water level during the period of record and the 

monthly precipitation at the nearest U. S. Weather Bureau station. The water level in 1955, as 

compared with measurements during the 14-year period of record, was above or near average 

the first 7 months and below average the last 5 months. The high for the year (4. 52 feet) was 

observed on April 23. From mid-June until the first of October, water levels steadily declined 

to the low point for the year of 19.04 feet. The range of fluctuation during 1955 was 14. 52 feet.

IOWA

By J. B. Cooper and W. L. Steinhilber

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Iowa was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the State 

Geological Survey. Measurements were made in 129 wells, 15 of which were equipped with recordinggages. Figure 3 shows the location of observation wells in 35 counties. The shallow 

observation wells in the Tarkio Creek valley area of southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri, including parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, Iowa, and Atchisun County. Missouri, 

constitute a unit in the Iowa program. Measurements are made in 17 wells in Page County and 

in 5 wells in Montgomery County. Records of wells in the Missouri part of the area are given on 

pages 118-120.

Precipitation

The average total precipitation over the State in 1955, as reported by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 22. 77 inches, 8. 61 inches below normal. The year 1955 was one of the driest 01 

record. Only 2 years have been drier: 1910, with a total of 19. 89 inches, and 1894, with a total 

if 21.94 inches. The annual precipitation pattern, across the State, shows a southeast to northwest gradient of decreasing amounts I>i the southeast, annual precipitation was about 6 inches 

below normal; in the northwest, almost 10 inches below normal. February and April were the 

only months .during which precipitation was greater than normal. March was the driest since 

1930; June, since 1936; August, since 1947; November, since 1914; and December, since 1929

Interpi elation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Seventy-five :4 the 129 observation wells in Iowa are shallow wells in rural ar<,-at,, The 

water levels, unaffected by pumping from other wells, reflect natural changes 01 ground water in 

storage. These shallow wells tap water in sand and gravel beds near the base of the glacial drift, 

in sandy horizons within the drift or near the base of the loess cover, and in an.i.-ijl deposits of 

sand and gravel aiong stream valleys. 'Water levels in these aquifers at UK- b -gmrang of 1955 

were well abov? i^trage in most sections of tht State, as a result of heavy lainfail during the 

summer and early fall of 1954. Near-normal precipitation in the first 4 months of 1955 caused 

a rise iti nat^: levels; in most wells the high for the yeai rta.ts leached m M<u ch. Below-normal 

precipitation *as recorded in each month fron, Miy through Deci-i-ibc-r. Water levels began a 

downward trend at the start of the growing seas,, n aad lowered id.pidly 111 all shallow wells. New 

1 jw levels for the period of record were observed in a number of wells during the fall and winter.

Water-level fluctuations in Page County well 68-38-7N1, shown in figure 4, reflect the relation between the amount of precipitation and the depth to watci in the wells in the Tarkio Creek 

valley area of southwestern Iowa. The well was selected because of its 22-year record of measurement and its location away from pumping influences. Monthly precipitation at Shenandoah is 

also shown on the graph.

Figure 5 shows the fluctuation of the water level during the 13-year period of record in 

Webster County well 87-28-29N1, a shallow unused well near Harcourt. This well is representative of several shallow obseivation wells and rnaiij domestic farm wells that tap water in the 

glacial drift. The monthly precipitation at Fuit Dodge, shown also on the graph, correlates 

closely with ths flat ^uatiunt, of waier level

Figure 6 shows the variation in the depth to the water table in Linn County well 84-6-20N1, 

an observation well tapping water in glacial drift. Close correlation between precipitation, as 

recorded at the U. S. Weather Bureau station in Cedar Rapids, and the water-level fluctuations 

in this well is evident.

Water-level measurements were made in about 50 wells which penetrate the deep rock 

artesian aquifers beneath the glacial drift. In various sections of the State, the wells tap water 

contained in formations of Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Most of these wells are in municipal well fields or in areas of 

heavy withdrawal of ground water for industrial use. Measurements of water level are indicative

of pressure changes in the artesian aquifers and are useful in predicting yield of water and future 

water levels in wells drilled into these aquifers.

Figure 7 shows fluctuations of water level in well 83-7-21K1 caused by pumping in the 

vicinity of Cedar Rapids. This well is illustrative of artesian rock wells affected by seasonal 

withdrawals for industrial and air-conditioning purposes. This unused well, about half a mile 

from heavily pumped areas in Cedar Rapids, is completed in the upper part of dolomite of Silurian, 

age, locally about 400 feet thick. Most welts in Cedar Rapids develop water supplies for air 

conditioning and industrial use from these strata. A pumping test of a nearby well in September 

1951 had a marked effect upon the water level in well 83-7-21K1. The temporary shutdown of 

another nearby well in July 1954 and September 1955 caused a sharp rise of water level in well 

83-7-21K1.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, 

and the third the section in which the well is situated. The capital letter "E" in the second segment represents a well east of the fifth principal meridian. When the range indicated is west of 

the meridian, no letter is included. The third segment designating the section includes a tetter 

representing the 40-acre subdivision of the section, as shown by the diagram, and the serial 

number of the particular well. For example, the number 76-31-25P1 denotes a well in T. 76 N., 

R. 31 W., in the SfijSWi sec. 25, serial number 1.

KANSAS

By Betty J. Mason

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued during 1955 in cooperation with the 

State Geological Survey, the Division of Water Resources of the State Board of Agriculture, and 

the Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health. The city of Wichita cooperated in Harvey, 

McPherson, and Sedgwick Counties. The observation-well program was continued in the Missouri 

Basin in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. The program included the maintenance and measurement of a network of observation wells to provide data on changes in storage of 

principal ground-water reservoirs. Measurements were being made in 541 wells at the end of 

1955. The locations of the observation wells are shown on figures 8-12. Continuous records of 

water levels were obtained for 11 wells from recording gages.

Three reports in regard to ground-water investigations were published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas: Bulletin 110, Geology and ground-water resources of Graham County, by 

G. C. Prescott; Bulletin 115, Geology and ground-water resources of Jewell County, by V. C. 

Fishel and A. R. Leonard; and Volume 13, Geology and ground-water resources of Osage County, 

by H. G. O'Connor.

Precipitation

Continuing a 3-year pattern, 1955 was warm and dry. The precipitation pattern alternated 

between 2 and 3 months of deficits and a month of above-average amounts, leaving the statewide 

drought virtually unbroken. Annual precipitation amounts varied in a west-east pattern increasing 

from the State minimum of 8. 96 inches at Tribune to the State maximum of 44. 56 inches at 

La Cygne. The northwestern part of the State received 71 percent of normal; the southwestern 

part about 92 percent of normal. The State had an average deficit of 4.44 inches. Many stations 

reported less than 0. 01 inch for periods of up to 3 months. January, February, May, and September had above-normal precipitation; July and August had the greatest below-normal precipitation. The cumulative deficiency over the period 1952-55 at many stations was equal to one 

year's normal precipitation.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The drought in Kansas that started at the end of 1951 continued throughout 1955. Accordingly, the ground-water levels generally declined. The hydrographs of Finney County well 1 and 

Sedgwick County well 12 are shown in figure 13. These wells, reflecting natural fluctuations 

in water levels, show the general decline, except for the deep-water areas in the western part of 

the State, caused by the drought during the period 1951 through 1955. The water levels in both 

wells in 1951 were at the highest stages during the period of record beginning in 1936 and 1937. 

Since 1951 the water levels have had a downward trend. The water level in Finney County well 1 

generally recovers during the late fall and winter and then declines during the summer and early 

fall. At the end of 1955, the water level was about 0. 4 foot lower than at the beginning of the year 

and was about 12. 3 feet lower than the high stage of 1951. The lowest level during the period of 

record was in September 1955. The water level in Sedgwick County well 12 declined almost steadily from its highest stage in July 1951 to its lowest stage in September 1955. The decline during 

the 4-year period was about 9. 4 feet. The water level rose about 0. 8 foot during October 1955 

and at the end of the year was about 0. 6 foot higher than at the beginning.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are either numbered serially within counties or are given a location number in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. In the location system, 

the first digit of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, and the third the 

section in which the well is situated. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum unless otherwise indicated. When some 

measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference, a plus (+) or minus 

(-) is placed before the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings between plus 

signs are above the plane of reference, and those between minus signs are below the plane of 

reference.

By G. C. Straka and Robert Schneider

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Minnesota was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the 

Division of Waters of the State Department of Conservation, the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County. Measurements were made in 29 wells, 13 of which were equipped with recording gages. Figures 14-18 

show the location of observation wells in the State.

P recipitation

The average precipitation in Minnesota for 1955, as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau, 

was 24.88 inches, or 0.32 inch below the average. The least amount of precipitation was recorded 

in the southwest, and the greatest amount in the northeast at Duluth. The wettest month was July 

and the driest was January.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

There was a net decline in 1955 in most of the water-table wells unaffected by pumping. 

The maximum decline was 7.16 feet in Brown County well 108. 30. 9add. The lowering was caused 

by the deficiency of precipitation coupled with high evaporation and transpiration rates produced 

by the above-normal temperatures which prevailed during the summer.

As a result of increased pumping during the summer in the Minneapolis area, several wells 

in the Upper Cambrian and Lower Ordovician sandstones reached new low levels.

Acknowledgments

S. O. Hanson, Cloquet, made the measurements in well B49.17. 23. caa, Carlton County. 

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, 

and the third the section in which the well is situated. The lowercase letters, a, b, c, and d, 

after the section number locate the well within the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre 

tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. The letters are assigned in 

a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. If the location is known within 

a 10-acre tract, three lowercase letters are shown in the well number. When more than one well 

is situated in the smallest significant tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added as 

suffixes. Well numbers preceded by the capital letter B designate wells in the northwest quadrant 

of the fourth principal meridian and base line system. Well numbers not preceded by a capital 

letter designate wells in the northwest quadrant of the fifth principal meridian and base line 

system.

By J. B. Cooper

Scope of Water-Level Program

Water-level measurements were made in 12 wells in Atchison County in the northwestern 

part of the State as part of the Tarkio Creek valley observation-well program. The Tarkio Creek 

valley area also includes parts of Montgomery County and Page County, Iowa. Measurements of 

the Atchison County wells are made in conjunction with the Iowa observation-well program. 

Weekly measurements were continued in 1955 in the well at Trenton, Grundy County. Water 

levels in 2 Phelps County wells and 1 Jasper County well were measured monthly by engineers 

from the Rolla office of the Surface Water Branch.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the Grundy County well, the maximum fluctuation of water level was 4. 32 feet. The 

highest reading of 9.10 feet was on July 17. The reading of 13. 42 feet on November 13 and on 

December 25 was the lowest of record. The water level was 1. 60 feet lower at the end of 1955 

than at the end of 1954. Fluctuations of water levels in wells in Atchison County, together with 

the other wells in the Tarkio Creek area, are discussed in the Iowa section.

Well-Numbering System

The numbers assigned to the observation wells show their location according to the Bureau 

of Land Management system for subdivision of public land. The system used is explained in the 

Iowa section.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Nebraska, begun in 1934 in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division, University of Nebraska, was continued in 1955. Many of the well 

records in this report have been compiled as part of the Missouri River Basin Development program. Records of wells in which water-level measurements have been made that are not listed 

in this report are kept in open file pending publication in other forms. Measurements of water 

levels made in 382 wells are included in this report. Figures 19-30 show the location of the 

observation wells. The following organizations cooperated informally: U. S. Bureau of Reclamation in the Republican River valley; U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Cherry and Garden Counties; Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District in Lincoln County; Platte Valley 

Public Power and Irrigation District in Keith County; Midstate Reclamation District in Buffalo, 

Hall, and Merrick Counties; and State Bureau of Irrigation and Drainage in Morrill County.

Precipi tation

The average annual precipitation for the State during 1955 was 17.24 inches, 5. 56 inches 

below normal and 2. 37 inches below that of 1954. The normal for the State is 22. 80 inches. The 

United States Weather Bureau has divided the State into three divisions for precipitation averages. 

In the Eastern Division, the 1955 average was 18.67 inches, 8. 90 inches below normal. In the 

Central Division, the 1955 average was 16.28 inches, 5.99 inches below normal. In the Western 

Division, the 1955 average was 16. 73 inches, 1. 20 inches below normal. Severe drought conditions prevailed throughout most of the State; 1955 was the driest year recorded since 1943. The 

Panhandle, in the Western Division, was the only area where some stations reported abovenormal precipitation for 1955.

Pumpage

The following table gives the total pumpage for the part of the Lincoln public supply pumped 

from the well field at Ashland and for the Grand Island supply. About 85 percent of the Lincoln 

public supply is pumped from wells in the flood plain of the Platte River, about 3 miles northeast of Ashland. Pumping from the Ashland well field began in 1932. The public supply at Grand 

Island is pumped from a group of wells in the Platte River valley in sands and gravels of Pleistocene age.

The most intensive use of ground water for irrigation in Nebraska is in the lower Platte 

River valley, where irrigation from wells was begun in 1893. Early development was slow; in 

1911 only 6 irrigation wells had been installed. Since that time, however, development has been 

rapid. During the period 1945-55, irrigation development has spread to the upland areas of 

south-central Nebraska. About 2, 900 irrigation wells were installed in Nebraska during 1955.

The number of irrigation wells in the State is now more than 14, 600. More than 7, 000 are in the 

lower Platte River valley in Dawson, Buffalo, Hall, and Merrick Counties. In 1955, however, 

the greatest expansion of ground-water development was made in the upland area south of the 

Platte River in Adams, Clay, Fillmore, Hamilton, Kearney, and York Counties, where more 

than 1, 000 deep irrigation wells were installed.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels fluctuate in response to precipitation, surface runoff in streams, the amount 

of water pumped from wells, and the amount of water withdrawn by vegetation. Figure 31 shows 

a hydrograph of the water-level fluctuations in Buffalo County well 9-14-19dd, an irrigation well 

east of Kearney in the lower Platte River valley, an area heavily pumped for irrigation. The 

water-level fluctuations in this well reflect the regional water-level fluctuations. The graph 

shows a secular decline of the water table during the 1930's, the lowest point being reached in 

October 1941, after which it began an upward trend that reached a maximum in January 1952 

less than a foot lower than the record high in 1931. The rising water table during the years 

1942-52 was the result of recharge to the ground-water reservoir by increased precipitation. 

As the 4-year period 1952-55 was deficient in precipitation, recharge to the reservoir was relatively low. Low recharge, coupled with increased withdrawals of ground water, caused the water 

table to decline at a more rapid rate than at any other time during the period of record. The 

water table was at a record low in September 1955. Ordinarily, the reservoir is recharged by 

rainfall and by seepage from the Platte River during the fall and winter, but these seasons have 

been very dry for the past 4 years and there has been little or no flow in the river.

In Box Butte County, use of ground water for irrigation has more than doubled during the 

past 10 years. The number of irrigation wells increased from 75 in'1946 to 165 in 1955. It is 

estimated that 15, 000 acre-feet of water was pumped in 1955. Box Butte County has been subjected to severe drought during the past several years; consequently, recharge to the groundwater reservoir has been lower than average. At the end of the irrigation season in 1955, the 

water levels in wells were at the lowest stages of record. A hydrograph of Box Butte County 

well 25-48-4dddl, 2 miles west and 4 miles north of Alliance, is shown in figure 32. The fluctuations of water level in this well reflect the regional water-table fluctuations in the region of 

the tablelands north of Alliance. The hydrograph shows that the water table has declined more 

than 5 feet during the period of record 1946-55.

The seepage from canals, reservoirs, and irrigated lands is an important source of recharge to ground-water reservoirs in parts of Nebraska. Systems of canals and reservoirs extend along the upland on the south side of the South Platte and the Platte Rivers from the KeithLincoln County line southeastward to Phelps County, thence northeastward to Adams County. 

The seepage from the various parts of this system is considerable, and the water table has risen 

significantly in this area. The hydrograph (fig. 33) of the fluctuation of the water level in Phelps 

County well 6-19-21dc illustrates the progressive rise of the water table at that point. The water 

level in the well rose more than 13. 5 feet'during the period 1948-55.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first digit of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, and the 

third the section in which the well is situated. Thus, the number Al-10-27adc indicates that the 

well is in the SWjSEiNEi sec. 27, T. IN., R. 10 E. The first lowercase letter denotes the 

160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. The letters are 

assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. When there are 

more wells than one in the smallest tract, numbers are added as suffixes. The State has been 

divided into two principal divisions. The well numbers east of the sixth principal meridian are 

preceded by the capital letter A. Those west of the sixth principal meridian have no preceding 

letter.

NORTH DAKOTA

By J. E. Powell and C. J. Robinove

Scope of Water-Level Program

Ground-water investigations and the measurement of water levels in observation wells were 

continued in 1955 in cooperation with the North Dakota State Water Conservation Commission and 

the North Dakota State Geological Survey. At the end of 1955, water levels were being measured 

in 89 observation wells, 2 of which were equipped with recording gages. Water levels in 19 wells 

were measured weekly by local observers. Figures 34-37 show the location of observation wells. 

Field work was continued in Kidder County in connection with an investigation into the possibilities 

of ground-water irrigation. Additional field work was done in investigations of ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the cities of Drake, Hankinson, Hettinger, and Westhope.

Precipitation

The average annual precipitation in North Dakota for 1955, as reported by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 17.02 inches, 0.11 inch below the 1892-1955 average. Departures from average 

precipitation ranged from -6. 09 at Hankinson in southeastern North Dakota to +6. 21 at Pembina 

in northeastern North Dakota. In general, precipitation was above average in the northeastern 

and central parts of the State and below average in the western and southeastern parts. Precipitation for the State as a whole was below average during January, March, June, August, October, 

and December. The maximum monthly departures were -0. 52 inch in October and +0. 71 inch in 

July.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The average monthly water levels for the State from 1937 through 1955 are shown in the following table. These averages are based on water-level measurements in selected observation 

wells. The averages for 1955 were computed from records from 10 wells distributed throughout 

the State. The water level in each of the wells was measured once a week by local observers. 

Figure 38 is a graphical presentation of the data in the table.

As in previous years, water levels were low during the winter, the lowest stages being in 

February. Water levels declined slightly from January to February, rose gradually until March, 

then rose rapidly during April and May, owing to recharge from melting snow in conjunction with 

the thawing of the ground surface. Water levels rose to the highest of the year in June and July, 

after which they declined steadily until November. At the end of 1955 the average water level was 

1.62 feet lower than at the end of 1954.

Well-Numbe ring System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, 

and the third the section in which the well is situated. The first lowercase letter denotes the 

160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. The letters are 

assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. When there are 

more wells than one in the smallest tract, numbers are added as suffixes. In North Dakota, the 

land descriptions are referred to the base line that extends laterally across the middle of Arkansas and to the fifth principal meridian. All townships are north of the base line and all ranges 

are west of the principal meridian. The well number 138-57-5cbl designates the first well scheduled in the NWiSWi sec. 5, T. 138 N., R. 57 W. If a second well were scheduled in the same 

40-acre tract, it would be designated 138-57-5cb2.

SOUTH DAKOTA

By F. C. Koopman

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in South Dakota, begun in 1935, was continued through cooperation with the State Geological Survey until 1946. Measurements of water Levels and artesian 

pressures have been continued since 1946 as a part of the Missouri River Basin program. During 

1955 about 6, 780 water-level measurements were made in 569 wells. Recording gages were operated on 22 additional wells and pressure gages on 2 wells. The measurement program is most 

intensive in the Oahe Unit area in the James Valley. Figure 39 shows the location of 56 observation wells listed in this report. Water-level measurements not included in .this report are on file 

at the office of the Ground Water Branch, Water Resources Division, U. S. Geological Survey, 

in Huron.

Precipitation

The normal annual precipitation for South Dakota is 19. 21 inches. The total for 1955 was 

16. 15 inches, about 3 inches below normal and 1.25 inches below that for 1954. Precipitation in 

1954 averaged 17. 38 inches, about 4. 5 inches less than in 1953.

Pumpage

Ground-water pumpage in 1955 was considerably greater than in 1954, owing to insufficient 

rainfall and increased irrigation. A few wells scattered over the State are pumped for crop irrigation. Mounting interest in irrigation has resulted in pumpage of over 1, 000 acre-feet from 

glacial-drift aquifers in the James Valley.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in South Dakota fluctuate in response to precipitation, pumping, evaporation, 

demands of vegetation, and changes in barometric pressure. They are a rough index of changes 

in ground-water storage. In wells scattered over the State water levels showed a decline in 1955 

from the 1946-55 average, because of below-average precipitation in both 1954 and 1955; in many 

shallow wells they dropped to record lows. In general, however, levels were 8 to 10 feet higher 

in 1955 than in 1935. The following table lists the changes in 1955 and in the 1946-55 period.

Figure 40. --Generalized average water level in 8 wells in the Angostura irrigation 

project and precipitation at Hot Springs, S. Dak., 1946-55.

Water levels in many wells in the Oahe Unit area declined to record lows in 1955. Water 

levels in the Angostura irrigation project area in the southwestern part of the State are affected 

by imported irrigation water. Measurements are made in many wells in this area. A composite 

generalized hydrograph of eight observation wells in an area where irrigation is intensive is 

shown in figure 40. Rising water levels since the beginning of heavy pumping for irrigation in 

1953 reflect an increase in ground-water storage in this area. Other wells in the project do not 

show rising water levels. Since water was impounded behind the Fort Randall dam in the summer 

of 1952, the water level in Charles Mix County well 95-65-9aacdl has risen about 21. 5 feet. The 

rate of rise decreased to about 2. 5 feet during 1955, as compared to a rise of 19 feet during the 

preceding 3 years. Spink County well 114-64-llbbbbl is about 1. 5 miles from 2 wells pumped 

for irrigation. The water level responds to pumping of these wells, changes in barometric pressure, and precipitation. Figure 41 gives hydrographic data for the period June 16 to July 10, 

1955, in well 114-64-llbbbbl.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first numeral indicates the township, the second the range, and the third the 

section in which the well is situated. Lowercase letters after the section number indicate the 

well location within the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40- 

acre tract, the third the 10-acre tract, and the fourth the 2^-acre tract. The letters a, b, c, 

and d are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast corner. If the well 

can be located within a 2^-acre tract, 4 lowercase letters are shown in the well number. Within 

the smallest tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added to designate the order in 

which the wells are described. Well numbers preceded by the capital letters A or D designate 

wells in the northeast and southeast quadrants of the Black Hills meridian and base line system. 

Well numbers not preceded by a capital letter designate wells in the fifth or sixth principal meridian and base line systems. Well 128-61-26bbbl is the first well described in the NWiNW^NW? 

sec. 26, T. 128 N., R. 61 W. The method of designation is shown in the diagram on page 210.

WISCONSIN

By R. E. Audini and W. K. Summers

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the University of 

Wisconsin. Measurements were made in 249 wells--5 with nonrecording gages, and 31 with 

recording gages. The State Conservation Department measured 9 wells in the northern part and 

5 wells in the southwestern part of the State. Four wells in northern Forest County and one in 

Marinette County, all near the Michigan boundary, were measured as a part of ground-water 

studies in the Northern Peninsula of Michigan. Figures 42-46 show the location of observation 

wells throughout Wisconsin. Areal studies of ground-water resources were continued in Portage, 

Fond du Lac, and Waushara Counties, and in the lead-zinc area of southwestern Wisconsin. The 

study of Outagamie County was completed and a new study was begun in Rock County.

Precipitation and Temperature

The normal annual precipitation in Wisconsin is 30. 33 inches. The total for 1955 was 

27.82 inches, 2. 51 inches below normal and 8.14 inches below that for 1954. Precipitation was 

greater than normal during 3 months: April had 0.43 inch more than normal; July 1. 53 inches; 

and October 0.80 inch. Precipitation in the remaining months ranged below normal from 0.18 inch 

during February to 2. 02 inches during September. Drought conditions existed in southern and 

central Wisconsin during late August and September.

The average temperature in 1955 was 44. 5°F, which was 1.1° above the annual average 

of 43. 4° and 0.2° below 1954. During 3 months in 1955, average temperatures were below normal: March, 2.3°; November, 4. 4°; and December, 4.7". Temperature variations above normal 

for the other 9 months ranged from 0. 2° in February to 7. 5° in April.

Pumpage

Total pumpage for 1955 was greater than for 1954. In the Green Bay area, municipal 

and industrial pumpage was increased. In the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, municipal use of 

water was 13 percent greater than in 1954. The data available from industries in the Milwaukee 

area do not show a significant increase in the use of ground water for manufacturing. Within 

the last 2 years, the drilling of several large wells to obtain water from the sandstone aquifer 

and of many domestic and industrial wells to obtain water from the Niagara dolomite caused an 

overall increase in pumpage. Because of insufficient rainfall and an increase in the number of 

farms having irrigation facilities, irrigation pumpage for 1955 was greater than in 1954, 

especially in central Wisconsin.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Static water levels in three artesian wells penetrating the sandstone aquifer are shown in 

figure 47. The fluctuations of the water level in well Bn 9 in Green Bay are a direct result of 

pumping in the area. Pumping in the Milwaukee area is reflected in the fluctuations of well Ml 36. 

Kenosha County well Ke 6 is near the coalescence of the Milwaukee and Chicago cones of depression. The continuous decline of the water levels in these wells is the cumulative result of prolonged heavy pumping. New alltime low water levels were reached during August and September, 

the months of heaviest pumping.

Hydrographs of static water levels in four water-table wells are shown in figure 48. An 

upward trend indicates recharge from precipitation and a downward trend indicates evapotranspiration and discharge to streams. The usual high water levels in the spring are dependent upon the 

accumulated snow cover, its rate of melting, spring rains, and whether or not the ground is 

frozen. Under normal conditions, water levels are highest in the spring and decline through the 

rest of the year. Lack of precipitation in winter and early spring and heavy rains in July caused 

highest water levels of 1955 to develop in midsummer and to decline through the rest of the year.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered consecutively within each county. The counties are designated by a 

two-letter abbreviation derived from the county name. For example, Bn 9 designates well 9 in 

Brown County.

Well Descriptions and Wate r - Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum unless otherwise indicated. When some 

measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference, a plus (+) or minus 

(-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings 

between plus signs are above the plane of reference, and those between minus signs are below 

the plane of reference.
