Scope of present volume

The present volume "covers the south-central States and gives records 

of water level'and artesian pressure in about 1,470 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana, 

Oklahoma, and Texas. Of these wells, 20 are equipped with automatic 

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

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

years before 1943. For .wells whose previous records have been published 

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

a well has1 been published in a previous report, only the well number or

the well number and a brief identifying description are given in

i 

report. The numbers in parentheses immediately'following * waJJL

\ 

are those of the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that well

are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indlcatea that ' 

a description of the well is given in the~paper whose*number Is so *arked.

heads for .some wells have been given in feet above or below th# measuring 

points and for other wells in feet above or. below sea. level, op above or 

below various assumed datum planes. It was considered inadvisable to

It has become evident that the water levels.In each well should be

to preserve the continuity of the record if the measuring* point 1$ changed.

been that the significance of the water level with respect to the land , 

surface Is ^thereby concealed. It appears, however, that this objection 

.can be overcome by'using'a precise datum plane that approximates the land 

surface. '" '

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

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

other datum planes* for the sujnmary tables and for maps and graphs 1$ the 

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

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

study and Interpretation, but the land-surface datum planes will be daed 

exclusively for publishing original records. Bench marks muat be established,

data as to the positions of the measuring point and of the bench narks, In 

feet above or below land-surface datum plane^ will be published In the 

appropriate annual reports.

'In accordance with the above, the water levels and artesian heads for 

all* wells 1'lsted In this report are given In reference to land-surface 

datum planes. If the water levels or artesian heads are referred to landsurfatfe datum for the first time, a conversion factor is given in the 

descriptive matter preceding them In order ,to facilitate comparison of the 

older and newer records, \fherever the conversion factor is given in the 

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

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key ob^ervatlon wells In order to make available current information on general 

ground-water condition's over the country. These wells were selected 

because the fluctuations of.water level in them are believed to be typical, 

and they^represent the general fluctuations that occur In the parts of the 

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1942 the network 

included about 130 wella in 40 States. About 40 of the wells-were established expressly for the network in 1942j the other 90 were selected from 

wells measured regularly in connection with cooperative g»ufid-w»t«r tnvestlgation.3. The coverage qf the country is Still far-'from ad&ipmt*, and 

it is expected that, some wells not now .included will be added to the 

network ^JPQB fctftse fo' tJ,»s, ' " . ', "

ARKANSAS

GRAND PBAIRIE REGION 

By R. G. Kazmann and Kyle Engler

The Grand Prairie region of Arkansas comprises Arkansas County, large 

parts of Lonoke and Prairie Counties, and small parts of Jefferson and 

Monroe Counties. Measurements of depth to water level in wells in this 

area were continued in 1943 in cooperation with the Arkansas Agricultural 

Experiment Station. This is the seventeenth 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 Arkansa3 Geological Survey. The work in 

1943 was done by employees of the State Agricultural gxperiment Station 

under the supervision of Kyle Engler, assisted by L. C. Carter.

A discussion of the conditions affecting the ground-water resources 

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

must be irrigated, and an account of the early pumping operations and their 

'effects on the general static level of the ground water are given in an 

earlier report, which contains also records of 18 wells from the time of 

their first measurement. Later reports bring these records up-to-date and 

add the records of other, wells as measurements in them are begun.

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 is.begun. 

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

were also made in the fall, after the irrigation season had ended. These

give some idea as to the effects of pumping during the preceding summer,'

* 

but, because local irregularities due to that pumping have not been

straightened out, thsy are not so conclusive as measurements made during

the following spring. Owing to the war, no measurements were made in the

fall of 1943. For well 280, which Is equipped with an automatic waterstage recorder, measurements are given of the depth to water level at the 

times when 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 19S8.

In general, the difference In the fluctuations of water level from 

place to place throughout the region la due chiefly 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 the White 

River. The water levels In all wells In the Grand Prairie region fluctuate as a result of changes In atmospheric pressure, at times as much 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 accordance with new standards adopted by the Geological Survey the 

measuring point at each well la being tied In to a datum plane that Is 

approximately the,land surface at the well. Inasmuch as a number of wells 

have not yet been tied In, the measurements In these wells for 1943 are 

not' Included In this report. Only the wells the elevations of whose measuring points have been determined relative to the land surface are Included. 

The measuring points of all other wells In which measurements have been 

made will be tied In to land-surface datum as soon as possible. The 

measurements will then be corrected to the new datum and published.

PROGRAM OP WORK

An Investigation of the ground-water resources of Louisiana by the 

Geological Survey, United Sta'tea Department of tSe Interior, In cooperation 

with the Geological Survey, Louisiana Department of Conservation, has been 

In progress since May 1938. Detailed reports have been prepared on Rapides, 

Grant, La Salle, Caddo, Bossier, Jefferson Davis, and Acadla Parishes; 

special studies have been made at Alexandria, Bunkie, Colfax, Natohltoches, 

Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Camp Llvlngston, Camp Beauregard, Camp Clalborne, 

and Camp Polk; and preliminary surveys have been made in test Baton Rouge, 

Tanglpahoa, and St,. Tammany Parishes. In connection with the study of 

ground-water conditions in the rice-Irrigation region in the southwestern 

part of the State, the Louisiana Department of Public Works entered Into 

the 'cooperation In 1943, and additional work was begun In Lafayette and 

Calcasleu Parishes. ,

As part of the general Investigation of ground-water resources, the 

systematic observation of water levels In key wells throughout the State 

was continued lii 1943. In all, 1,426 Individual measurements of water 

level were made during the year In 126 wells In 19 parishes. (See fig. -2 .)

Weekly measurements were made In 7 wells In Rapides Parish, 7 wells in i

Bast Baton Rouge Parish, and 1 well In St. Charles parish, and monthly 

measurements were made In 53 wells in the area covered by Acadla, Alien, 

Calcasleu, Bast Baton Rouge, Bvangellne, Jefferson Davls, and West Baton 

Rouge parishes. Measurements were made at Irregular Intervals In 58 other 

wells. All measurements were made by or under the supervision of memberfc 

of the technical staff engaged In ground-water Investigations with the exception of those for well Sc-6 at Norco, well Al-29 at Elizabeth, and some 

of the wells near Baton Rouge; measurements In these wells were obtained 

through the cooperation of J. L. Davles, of the Shell Oil Co., W. E. Emlgh, 

 of the Calcasieu Sulphate Paper Co., and H. P. Connell, of the Baton Rouge

Water Works Co., respectively. 3-3

Much of the observation-well program during the 3-year period 1940-43 

has been directly concerned with water supplies for military establishments 

and war plants. (See figs. 2 and 3.) Records were continued in 1943 for 

wells at Camp Livingston, Camp Beauregard, and Camp Claiborne, as well as 

for many industrial wells at chemcial plants in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles.

A detailed report on ground-water conditions at Camp Polk and North-Camp

I/ 

Polk was submitted to the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, July 1,

2/ 

1943. About the same time a report embodying the results of a 3-year

investigation in the rice-irrigation region was transmitted to the Louisiana Department of Conservation for publication. During the fall, the well 

records and water analyses for wells in Caddo and Bossier Parishes were 

issued in mimeographed form by the Louisiana Department of Public Works. 17

On December 1, 1943, a final report on the ground-water exploration 

' project at Alexandria was completed.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Northern Louisiana. No ground-water investigations were made in 

northern Louisiana during 1943 and only one key well was measured. In 

this well, which is located near the paper mills at Bastrop, in Morehouse 

Parish (see figs. 2 and 3), no appreciable change in water level from the 

preceding year is indicated.

Central Louisiana. Observations were continued in 1943 on 20 wells 

in Rapides, Grant, La Salle, and Avoyelles Parishes. The measurements of 

water level made in the 20 wells in these four parishes were apportioned 

as follows: 342 in 14 wells in Rapides Parish, 6'in 3 wells in Qrant 

Parish, 3 in 2 wells in La Salle Parish, and 2 in 1 well in^Avoyellss 

Parish. The water levels, on'the days they were.measured, in wells in 

Grant, La Salle, and Avoyelles Parishes, where consumption is small, were 

at stages comparable to their stages on the corresponding days in 1942.

The water levels In wells In Rapldes Pariah In and near Alexandria continued to decline until August (see graphs of fluctuations In wells 26 and 35 

In fig. 4 ), when the pumpage from municipal wells within the city limits 

was reduced. This reduction of pumpage was made possible by the completion 

of the Bayou Rapldes well field, 6 miles northwest of the city. The water 

levels In wells 26 and 35 recovered about 25 and \4 feet,' respectively, 

during the period September 1, 1943, to January 1, 1944. Despite these 

rises, the average weekly water level In well 26, near the Monroe Street 

pumping station, was 18.15 feet lower than In 1942 and 48.89 feet lower 

than In 1939, and In well 35, near the City Park pumping station, was 13.90 

fee^ lower than In 1942 and 52.41 feet lower than In 1939. By means of the 

following table, a comparison may be made of the average weekly water 

levels In each of these wells during the period 1939-43.'

 At Camp Llvlngston there are both deep and shallow wells. The water 

level In well 344, screened In a deep Miocene sand, ranged In stage during 

1943 from 180 to more than 200 feet below the land surface, fluctuating 

with the Irregular, use 'of the deep wells to supplement the surface-water, 

supply from Big Creek. In well 381, which taps the relatively undeveloped 

shallow Pleistocene sand and gravel, 1 the water level declined about 1-J feet. 

This1 may be attributed, In part, to the deficiency of rainfall during the 

year. In December, when there was an Increase In precipitation, a slight 

recovery began.

At the end of 1943 the water levels In the deep wells at Camp Clalborne 

were at about the same stage as at the end of 1942 70 .feet below the land 

surface. Very little water has been used from the deep wells since the 

shallow Pleistocene wells were developed, In 1941. Relatively small declines of water level have taken place In these shallow wells, as Indlc&ted 

by the fact that the level In well 368 declined only 4 feet in 1943 and 

only 15 feet In the 2^-year perl&d ending December 31, 1943, despite the 

constant pupping of 400 gallons a minute from well 367, which Is only 50 

feet away.

Southwestern Louisiana. Monthly observations of water level were made 

In 6 wells In Calcasieu Parish, 3 wells In Jefferson Davls Parish, 2 wells 

In Alien Parish, and 1 well each in Acadla and Bvangellne Parishes. In 

addition, observations were made at irregular intervals on 8 wells In 

Acadia Parish, 5 wells in Jefferson Davis Parish, 4 wells in Calcasieu 

Parish, 2 wells each in Allefn and Evangeline Parishes, and 1 well "each in 

Beauregard and Cameron Parishes. Waiter-level recorders were operated on 

wells Cu-13, Cu-22, and Cu-34, in the iake Charles industrial area of 

Calcasieu Parish, on well JD-9, near Welsh, in Jefferson Uavis Parish, and 

on well Al-29, at Elizabeth,-In Alien Parish.

Rainfall during the summer of 1943 was below normal, and water levels 

in the rice-irrigation wells were lower than in 1942 both because of this 

and because of the increased pumpage. Listed below are the average monthly 

water levels, by years, during the period 1939-42, in well JD-9, a typical 

well in this part of the State. From this list it will be seen that the 

average monthly water level in this well was 3.80 feet lower in 1943 than 

in 1942. (See also fig. 4.)

Water levels in the vicinity of the industrial area at Lake Charles 

continued to decline in 1943, owing to the increase in Industrial pumpage. 

The industrial wells are completed at depths of approximately 200 feet, 

500 feet, and 700 feet. The water-bearing formations are Pleistocene sands 

and gravels that dip in a southerly direction and correlate with the thick 

beds of Pleistocene sand and gravel that furnish water for"rice irrigation 

to the east of Lake Charles.

Southeastern Louisiana. in Livingston and Tangipahoa Parishes, 21 

measurements of artesian head were made in 11 wells- less than 700 feet deep 

and in 1 well 1,750 feet deep. The shallow wells in Tangipahoa Parish 

showed declines ranging from 0.5 foot to about 4 feet, owing largely to 

the unusually dry weather during the strawberry growing season and the resultant increase in the use of ground water for irrigation. Crops that
20 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

were not irrigated were in large part lost. The deep well Li-16, at Holden, 

still had a greater artesian head than any other observation well in the 

State. However, the reading for 1943 of 50 pounds per square inch (115 feet) 

indicates a loss of 5 pounds (11 feet) during the year and about 11 pounds 

(25 feet) since 1939.

In St. Tammany Parish, 15 measurements made in 8 key wells showed only 

minor changes, slight declines being recorded In some wells and alight rises 

In others. In Jefferson Parish the water level in the "700-foot11 sand, 

from which 'semibrackish water Is drawn for industrial use in New Orleans, 

also remained fairly constant. Samples of water from wells in this sand in 

New Orleans did not reveal any decided change in"chloride content.

In March 1943 a water-level recorder Was installed at Norco, St. Charles 

Parish, in an abandoned "400-foot" well (Sc^6) at the Shell Oil Co. refinery-, where large quantities of semibrackish to brackish water are pumped 

for'use In cooling operations. The decline of 2 feet recorded during the 

last 9 months of 1943 is not regarded as particularly serious in view of 

the increased consumption.

The observation-well program in Baton Rouge and vicinity was expanded 

In 1943 to Include 46 key wells In Bast Baton Rouge Parish and 3 wells in 

'flest Baton Rouge Parish, In which, together, 792 measurements were made 

during the year. Of these, 369 measurements in 39 of the newly established 

observation wells were supplied by the Baton Rouge Water Works Go. These 

wells, ranging In depth from about 400 to 2,250 feet, are screened in the 

same sands that supply the local Industrial and municipal needs. Because 

of the constantly increasing demands of newly completed industrial plants, 

the «axlmura daily consumption of ground water during the summer of 1943 

probably exceeded by 10 to 20 percent the maximum reported in 1942, which

was 53 million gallons.

i 

The greatest declines of water level In 1943 were recorded for wells

in the "400-foot" and "600-foot'1 sands, which supply the larger part of the 

water used In cooling operations. Figure 5 shows the decline of the water 

levels In wells EB-15, EB-74, and EB-128, which are screened in these sands.

The following table provides a-convenient means of comparing the average

 

weekly water level in each of theae wells, by years, during the period

1941-43.

The rapid Increase In. the number of wells for Industrial use In the 

water sands ranging in depth from 1,500 to 2,550 feet has resulted in a 

pronounced lowering of water level and artesian head*In these aquifers. ' 

Since the wartime construction began, many such wells have been drilled. 

As a result of the Increased pumpage, the water levels have fallen below 

the land surface for the first time in several large wells In the industrial area. A change from suction pumps to deep well turbines was necessary 

In some wells to maintain the water supply. Declines of 5.6 feet to 24 

feet were observed In wells deeper than 1,500 feet.

The wells least affected by the Increased industrial pumpage range 

from 1,000 to 1,500 feet in depth and include many hundreds of small domestic wells scattered throughout the two parishes. Only small declines, 

ranging from 0.5 foot to 4.6 -feet, were observed In these wells.

PROGRAM OP WORK

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

1934 in at least one area, was continued in 1943 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the 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 madp 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 water-level measurements in 1941 and 1942, continued this work in 

1943. The remainder of the ground-water investigation in the State in 1943 

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, the North Canadian River 

Valley program, begun in 1940, and the Oklahoma County program, begun in 

1943.

Brief discussions of the topography and geology of the areas in the 

State cove-red by the well-measurement program and their relation to the 

ground«-water resources in those areas have been published by the Federal 

Geological Survey as follows: Stillwater Creek Basin, in Water-Supply Paper 

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

in Water-Suppiy Papers 886 and 939; North Canadian River Valley in general, 

in Water-Supply Paper 909; and Oklahoma County, in the present report.

Progress was made in 1943 in the investigation of the ground-water 

resources in several of"the areas mentioned, especially in the North Canadian River Valley and In Cleveland County. Prom Cleveland County, which 

ia in the Canadian River Valley, the investigation was extended northward 

into Oklahoma County, most of which is in the North Canadian River Valley. 

In addition to the work done in connection with the general investigation, 

several brief studies of ground-water supplies were made for municipalities 

and war establishments, and numerous inquiries on ground-water supplies related to the war effort were answered.

The report on Cimarron County, in which the investigation was completed 

in 1942, was published in 1943 by the Oklahoma Geological Survey as its 

Bulletin 64. The author of this bulletin, which is entitled "Geology and 

ground-water resources of Cimarron County", is S. L. Schoff, and it includes a section on Hesozoic stratigraphy by J. W. Stovall. Reports on 

two of the three counties in the Oklahoma Panhandle Cimarron and Texas 

Counties have now been published. The report on the third county Beaver 

haa been postponed for the duration of the war, awaiting the return to the 

Federal Geological Survey of S. L. Schoff, now on duty with the armed 

services.

During the year more than 1,300 measurements were made in 168 observation wells In 12 counties. The wells in the Stillwater Creek Basin and 

those in Oklahoma County were measured monthly, as was also the one well 

in HcClain County. The wells in the Panhandle counties were measured twice 

during the year in April and October except Beaver County well 528, which 

was measured weekly, and Beaver County wells 573 and 612, which were 

measured three and four times, respectively, as a part of the North Canadian River Valley group. The North Canadian River Valley walls and the 

Canadian County wells were measured four times during the year, the former, 

in January, April, July, and October, and the latter In January, April, 

July, and November. The Cleveland County wells were measured weekly, some 

of them oftener during the summer. An automatic water-stage recorder was 

in operation during the year on one well Cleveland County well 5.

PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation in the State during 1943 was 28.88 inches, 

which is 5.69 inches less than the average for the 52 yeara of record and 

11.08 inches less than the average for 1942. The year was characterized 

by an unusual distribution of rainfall; for 10 of the months there was a 

deficiency of rainfall, and for 2 May and December there was an excess. 

January was the driest and May the wettest month of the year; they were 

also the direst January and the wettest May of the period of record. In 

January the average rainfall for the State was only 0.08 inch, which was 

1.36 inches below normal; in May it was 10.27 inches, which was 5.50 inches 

above normal. The heavy rains of May resulted in record-breaking floods 

in the eastern part of the State.

The precipitation at the six stations in the Panhandle ranged from 

10.54 inches at Kenton to 14.9,5 inches at Goodwell, and the average was 

12.97 inches., which is 5.18 inches below normal. Departures at individual 

stations ranged from 2.47 inches below normal at Goodwell to 7.49 inches 

below normal at Kenton.

The average precipitation at the nine stations along the North Canadiar 

River between Oklah&ma City and Supply was 22.15 inches, which is 5.53 

inches below normal. Total rainfall varied from 19.26 inches at Mutual to 

25.51 Inches at Oklahoma City. Departures from the,normal precipitation 

ranged from 1.69 inches below normal at Supply to 8,35 inches below normal 

at Port Reno. * -

Norman, in Cleveland County, received 20.14 inches of rain', a deficiency of 13.17 inches; Oklahoma City, in Oklahoma County, received 85,51 

inches, a deficiency of 5.64 inches.

At Stillwater, in Payne County, the rainfall was 51.07 JLnclies, which 

is 2.76 inches below normal.

POTPAGE 

The Panhandle

It is estimated that about 2,050 acre-feet of water waa pumped in the 

Oklahoma Panhandle during 1945, divided among the three counties as follows: 

Beaver County, 530 acre-feet; Cimarron County, 160 acre-feet; Texaa County, 

1,560 acre-feet.
OKLAHOMA 51 

t

Almost twice as much water was pumped in 1943 as in 19-42, because 

1943 was a hot, dry year and 1942 was a relatively cool, wet year. In 1942, 

soil-moisture conditions were good during most of the year and irrigation 

was negligible', but in 1943 soil-moisture conditions were poor during the 

latter part of the growing season and considerable irrigation was necessary. 

The greatest increase in pumpage occurred in Texas County, as most of the 

land under irrigation is in that county. Municipal pumpage in the Patihandle 

also increased during 1943; it was ^about one and one-third times as large 

as in 1942.

Cleveland and Oklahoma Counties

The pumpage In Cleveland County increased greatly in 1943 owing to the 

establishment of two'large Naval bases in the Norman area. In Oklahoma 

County, also, there is considerable pumpage, large drafts being made on.the 

wells in the vicinity of Oklahoma XJity by two military establishments and 

several industries.

FLUCTUATIONS IN WATER LEVEL 

The Panhandle

The observation wells in the Panhandle "have been arranged, for convenience, by counties, and those in each county by groups according to the 

aquifers they tap. There are eight groups inj all. (See fig. -V and tables 

qn pp. 53 and 54.) The weighted average water level from measurements of 

all wells in the Panhandle was 0.16 foot higher In April 1943 than in 

October 1942, although precipitation was below normal In the 6 months that 

intervened. During this 6-month period, the average water level in each of 

the groups, except the group that taps the alluvium in Gimarron County, was 

higher in April 1943 than in October 1942. Both 1941 and 1942 were wet 

years, and the water table in the Ogallala formation, the principal aquifer 

in the Panhandle, rose steadily during this period. The water table In the 

Ogallala formation, however, Is usually 100 feet or more below the -land

surface, and consequently there is a lag in time between precipitation and \

the resultant rise in water table. The high' water levels of April 1943 are 

due to the rains of October 1942 and preceding months. The rise in water 

levels in the wells that"tap the redbeds can be similarly explained.

The water table in the alluvium, unlike that in the redbeds and the 

Ogallala formation, responds rather rapidly to precipitation. During October 1942 the water-level measurements were made during a period of heavy

precipitation, and aa the wella In Cimarron County were meaaured aeveral 

days later than the wells In Texas and'Beaver Countlea, the water table in 

the alluvium, at the time of meaaurement, waa at a relatively- higher atage 

In Clmarron"County than in Texas, and Beaver Countiea. The measurements of 

April 1943 were made during a dry period, and the atage of the water table 

waa relatively the aame in all three counties, but in average water level 

the wella In the 'alluvium of Cimarron County ahowed a net decline and the 

wella In the alluvium of Texaa and Beaver Counties ahowed a net riae.

In 1943, during the period between the April and the October measurejrents, all groups of wella in the Panhandle, except the Ogallala-Dakota 

group In Cimarron County, showed declinea in water level. This general decline la the reault of the lack of precipitation; in only one month In 

1943 December did all five stations in the Panhandle ahow above-normal 

precipitation. The rise In water level in the Ogallala-Dakota group of 

wells was probably caused by spotty rainfall along the line of these wella, 

and it Is probable that in the rest of Clmarron County the water levels declined1 . 

The following tables present, for comparison, the ayerage water level

in October 1942 and In, April and October 1943 for each of the eight groupa

Stillwater Creek Basin

Although the wells in the Stillwater Creek Basin were measured only 

monthly, figure 8 shows that the average water level of the eight most 

representative wells closely follows changes in precipitation. During 

the first part of the year, the average water level fluctuated little 

more than half a foot, but during May, when the area received extremely 

heavy rainfall Stillwater had an excess of 9.04 Inches the average water 

level was the highest ever recorded for this group of welis. It was 0.56 

foot higher than the previous high, which occurred In April 1942, and 10.50 

feet higher than the lowest on record, which occurred in September 1940. 

During June and July, which were dry, 'the average water level declined 

sharply, reaching a stage below the lowest stage It had reached In 194S, 

and continued to decline throughout August and September, but'less sharply. 

A slight excess of precipitation in October held the water level constant 

during that month, but during November It again declined. An excess, of 

precipitation In December caused the water level, to rise to a stage only a 

little lower than Its stage In October, and at the end of 1943, It was 

1.73 feet lower than at the end of 1942, the total fluctuation during the 

year being 6.,36 feet.

Worth Canadian River Valley

The wells In the North.Canadian River Valley are situated close to the 

river and, consequently, their water levels follow closely the changes in 

flow of the river. As only one of the wells was measured more than five 

times during the year, only general conclusions can be drawn from the 

measurements. Beaver Corinty well 528, at Beaver, however, was measured 

-weekly throughout the year, and the fluctuations are probably typical 

of wells on the flood plain of the river. At the end of 1942 the water 

level in this well was rising, and it continued to ris.e until the end of 

March 1943, as a result of continued flow in the river, although the rainfall was deficient. Through April the water level fluctuated little but at 

the end of that month it began to decline. It declined steadily until the 

beginning of July, when a local rain caused it to rise more than a "foot fco 

'its highest stage of the year, which was 0.55 foot higher than at tts stag© 

at the beginning of the year. By the end of July, however, it had declined 

to" a stage lower tTian its stage at; Hie beginning of that month. Tfie sharp 

decline continued through August but slackened in September and October, 

and in November the water level reached its lowest stage of the year, 3.55 

feet below its highest stage of the year. During December, in response to 

precipitation, it rose gradually about half a foot, but at the end of the 

year it was 2.66 feet lower than at the beginning of the year. During the 

ye,ar the decline in other wells ranged from 6.89 to 1.61 feet, and at the 

end of the year their water levels were, on the average, 3.5 feet lower 

than at the beginning of the year.

Canadian County

The observation wells in Canadian County were measured four times during the year, in January, April, July, and November. All these wells are 

located within the North Canadian River Valley, where the alluvium is the 

principal aquifer. Some of the wells pass completely through the alluvium 

and tap water in the underlying redbeds. In general, the wells nearest the 

river show the greate'st variation in water level, and a$ the water table is 

recharged by the river as well as by direct rainfall on the valley, the 

several wells need not have similar fluctuations of water level and seldom 

do. In general, the water levels were higher in January 1943 than in 

October 1942, but they declined from the beginning of February through April 

1943. However, the next measurements, which were made in July 1943, showed
56 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, / ' SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

that slightly more than half the wells declined in water level, and the remainder rose. This was due to spotty rainfall,'and the declines and rises 

were in definite groups of wells. During the period July to November/ when 

rainfall was deficient and there was practically no surface runoff to the 

river, water levels.in all the wells declined and, on the average,were 2.7 

feet below their stages at the beginning of the year.

Cleveland County

The observation-well program in Cleveland County was expanded considerably during*1943 as a continuation of the investigation of the "Norman 

water sand". Four wells that tap the Norman water sand were added to the 

program, making a total of eight wells regularly observed. Seven of the 

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

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

Canadian River.

The water level in Cleveland County well 1 fluctuated widely during

1943 in response to the irregular rainfall. During the early part of the

i 

year, however, it varied little, but in May, in response to the a'bnormally

heavy rainfall, it rose nearly 5 feet, so that on May 22 its stage was only 

0.91 foot lower than the highest ever recorded for this well. Prom this 

high stage it declined rapidly throughout the summer, having only minor 

rises, continued to decline during the fall, though less rapidly, and on 

December 15 reached its lowest stage of the year, which was 8.44 feet lower 

than its highest stage, reached in May. The above-normal precipitation of 

December1 caused it to rise slightly, but the rise was so small that on 

December 31, 1943, the water level was 4.30 feet below its stage on December 

31, 1942.

In 1942, a Naval Air .Station was established to the north .of Norman, 

and a Naval Air Technical Training Center to the south. Both these Naval 

bases and several other fairly large consumers, including the city of 

Norman, obtain their water supplies from deep wells in the Norman water 

sand. The increased pumpage resulting, estimated as three times the pumpage in any previous year, caused a large and serious decline of water 

levels in th« area, as shown by the record for well 4, which ia an unused 

well in the Norman city welJL field. Measurements made ia .this well show a 

decline of 107.37 feet from January 4 to September 1, when, unfortunately, 

measurements had to be discontinued because the water level fell below an 

obstruction in the casing. During the summer thp water level In this well 

declined at an average rate of 6 feet a week.

1944).
58 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

The extent of the cone of depression that developed is clearly shown 

by the records fot well 5, which is 5 miles east of Norman, and well 6, 

which is 3^ miles southeast of the Naval Air Technical draining Center. 

During the year, the. water level is well 5 declined 18.74 feet,and that in 

well 6 declined 21.59 feet. The decline in these two wella is shown by 

the hydrographa in figure 9. During the first part of the year it ia 

probable that neither of the wella was affected by pumpage in the Norman 

area; in April and May, however, the effect became apparent in the decline 

'of their water levels, which reached its maximum in August. The decline 

continued into Novgmber in both wella and throughout the year in well 6. 

The water levels in both wella ahow the effect of the seasonal decrease of 

pumpage during the fall.

McClain County

The one observation well in McClain County, about 4 miles northwest of 

Purcell, was measured monthly during the year. This well tapa the Norman 

water aarid but is far enough away from the Norman >area to be unaffected by 

the pumpage. . Throughout the year, the water level fluctuated only 0.89 

foot, being higheat on January 23 and June 12 and loweat on November 27. 

On December 24, it was 0.65 foot lower than on January 11, when it was 

first measured.

Oklahoma County

Three obaervation wells were established in Oklahoma County in 194S 

two. in Oklahoma City and one about a mile northwest of pritton. All three 

wella tap artesian water in sands of the lower Permian redbeds at depths 

of 280 to 812 feet. The upper producing sands are in the Garber sandstone, 

which is apparently equivalent to the Norman water sand ia'Cleveland 'bounty, 

and the lower producing sands are In the Wellington formation.

In the Oklahoma City area there are. two military establishments and 

also several industries, both large' and small, that utilize ground water 

from the Garber sandstone and the Wellington formation. It ia probable 

that 150 or more wella in the area Interfere with each other to a greater 

or less extent, and the three observation wells^reflect changes ia water 

level that are due to variations in pumpage from surrounding wells.

Fluctuations of water.level followed a similar pattern in each of the 

three observation wells in the county. The fluctuations were characterized 

by relatively steep declines during the summer, when the pumpage is heavy.

INTRODUCTION

A State-wide investigation of the ground-Water resources of Texas has 

been in progress since 1929 in cooperation with the Texas State Board of 

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

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

from time to time as new projects started. During 1943, 4,085 measurements 

were made in 1,105 wells in 43 counties.

PRECIPITATION

For the purpose of summarizing climatological data, the United States 

Weather Bureau has divided Texas into three parts as follow^: Western 

division, comprising all of the State west of the 101st me'ridian; middle 

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

and the eastern division, comprising the territory east of the 97th 

meridian.

The average yearly precipitation increases toward the east, most of 

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

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

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

varies wi'thin wide limits. For example, in the western part of the State, 

at El Paso, the average yearly precipitation from 1850 through 1943 

amounted to 9.16 inches, but ranged from 21.81 inches in 1856 to 2.22 

inches in 1891. In the eastern part of the State at Bon Wier, the average 

yearly precipitation from 1914 through 1943 amounted to 56.06 inches, but 

ranged from 81.92 inches in 1940 to 38.21 inches in 1925, A similar wide 

range occurs in .the middle division.

* According to the Weather Bureau's summary for the year, the precipitation was below normal, in all three divisions, the average deficiency

amounting to 3.02 inches in the western division, 5.63 inches in the middle 

80
TEXAS 81

division, and 4.36 Inches in the eastern division. In 1942 the precipitation was above normal In all three divisions, the excess amounting to 2.88 . 

Inches In the western division, 3.23 Inches In the middle division, and 

2.84 Inches In the eastern division.

'SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN WATER LEVELS IN 1945 

BALCONSS FAULT ZONE

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

Klnney, Travis, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Wllliamson Counties are In the 

Balcones fault zone. Most of them draw water from the Edwards limestone, 

but a few draw from the Austin chalk, and a few from shallow sands and 

gravels. The Edwards limestone supplies the large springs of the fault 

zone from the vicinity of Comstock, In Val Verde County, eastward through 

the cities of Del Rio, San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Mareos to Austin. 

It also supplies Irrigation wells In Bexar and Uvalde Counties and public

and industrial .wells in San Antonio and other smaller"cities. Some of i

these springs are among the larger springs of the United States. The combined maximum recorded dally discharge of the seven largest Ooodenough, 

San Fellpe, Las Moras, San Antonio, Comal, San Marcos, and Barton--ls more 

than 1,200,000,000 gallons, and their average dally discharge, la about 

550,000,000 gallons. A flowing well in the limestone at San Antonio 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. iSost of the observation wells in 

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

after heavy rains In the outcrop area.

During 1943 water-level measurements were made in the spring, summer, 

and*fall in most of the observation wells In the Balcones fault eone.

Val Verde County. In one observation well, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level In 1943 was 1.6 feet higher In the spring, 3.4 

feet higher In the summer, and 1.9 feet lower in the fall than It was in 

corresponding seasons in 1942.

Kinney County. In seven observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water levels were higher each season In 1943 than they were 

in the corresponding season In 1942. They averaged about 0.5 foot higher 

in the spring, 1.2 feWb higher in the summer, and 1.4 feet higher in the 

fall. In five observation wells in the Austin chalk for which jneasurements
82 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

are available, the water levels in 1943 averaged about 1.8 feet higher in 

the spring, 1.9 feet higher in the summer, and 1.4 feet higher in the fall 

than they were in 1942.

TJvalde County. In nine observation wells drawing from the. Edwards 

limestone for which comparable measurements are available, the water levels 

were lower each season in 1943 than they were in the corresponding season 

in 1942, averaging about 2.8 feet lower in the spring, about 3.9 feet 

lower in the summer, and about 9.3 feet lower in the fall. In the three 

wells drawing from the Austin chalk the water levels In 1943 averaged 

about a foot lower in the spring, about 1.6 feet higher In the summer, and 

about 0.3 foot lower in the fall than they did in corresponding seasons in 

1942.

Medina County. In seven observation wells drawing from the Edwards 

limestone for which comparable measurements are available, the water levels 

were higher in the spring of 1943, about the same in the summer, and lower 

In the fall, than they were In corresponding periods of 1942. The average 

was about 1 foot higher In the spring and about 18..8 feet lower in the 

fall.

Bexar County.--In the seven observation wells in the Edwards limestone 

for which comparable measurements are available, the water levels were 

lower in the spring, summer, and fall of 1943 than they were in corresponding seasons of 1942. The averages were about 1 foot lower In the spring, 

about 2.72 feet lower in the summer, and about 13.8 feet lower In the fall. 

Since 1932 an automatic water-stage recorder haa been maintained on well 

436 at Beverly Lodges Tourist -Camp, near San Antonio. The fluctuations of 

water level in this well are shown in figure 10, The record shows tha* in 

the fall of 1942 the water level reached the highest.stage recorded in 10 

years, but declined considerably during 1943. ^

Comal County. In the 10 observation wells, drawing from the^ldwards 

limestone, for which comparable measurements are available, the water , 

levels in 1943 averaged 1.9 feet higher in the spring, 1.6 feet higher in 

the summer, and 7.1 feet lower in the fall than they did in the corresponding seasons of 1942.

1942.

Wllllamson County. In the five observation wells, drawing from the 

Edwards limestone, for which comparable measurements are-avallable, the 

water levels averaged lower throughout 1943 than they did in corresponding 

seasons of 1942, being about 3.7 feet lower In the spring, about 2.3 feet 

lower In the summer, and about 4.5 feet lower In the fall.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dlmmlt and Zavala Counties; the Winter garden district. Pumping for 

Irrigation on a large scale has been In progress In this area for about 25. 

years. The total area Irrigated by wells in the two counties amounted to 

about 22,000 acres In the season of 1937-38, according to an Inventory 

made in connection with the general ground-water Investigation In the area. 

Ho-Inventory has been made since 1938. It Is known, however, that the 

pumpage ,was considerably greater (perhaps as much as 25 percent) In the

seasons of 1941-42 and 1942-43 than It was In the season 1937-38. ^

. \

All of the Irrigation wells draw from the Carrlzo sand, which crops 

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

part of Dlmmlt County, eastern ijart of Maverick County, western and 

northern parts of Zavala County, the southern part of Uvalde County, and 

thence eastward and northeastward. The sand Is about 200 feet thick,on 

the average and dips generally to the east or southeast. The belt in which 

it can be reached*at a depth of 1,000 feet or less is about 15 miles wide. 

Down the dip In areas of heavy pumping, the water -levels showed a material 

net Recline between August measurements in 1941 and 1942 and again between 

August measurements in 1942 and 1943. In some of the wells they reached 

the lowest recorded stage in 1943. , August measurements In six wells on 

the outcrop showed an average net decline of 0.65 foot between 1941 and

1942 and 0.86 foot between 1942 and 1943. These wells are affected to

\ 

some extent by pumping from nearby irrigation wells.

The following table gives the1 number of wells observed and the ave.rage 

decline in water level,froa August 1941 to Auguslj 1942 and from August 1942 

to August 1943,- and the total decline during the 2-year period.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Wharton County. Wharton County produces more rice than any other 

county in Texas, both surface water and ground water "being used to irrigate 

this crop. In an inventory made in the county in 1939 it was estimated 

that approximately 30,000 acre-feet was pumped from wells for this purpose. 

No inventory has been made since 1939. The precipitation in 1941 was 

unusually high and in 1942, although the total for the year was about average, the rice-growing season was unusually wet. As a result, ground-water 

recharge in 1941 was above the average and the amount .of water used for 

irrigation considerably below the average in both years. This was .reflected 

in the water-level measurements. Based on records in 22 observation wells, 

the water levels averaged 1.28 feet higher in the spring of 1948 than they 

did in the spring of 1941. In the same wells the water levels showed 

little average change between the spring of 1942 and the spring of 1943.

Jackson County. Measurements made in 16 observation wells in Jackson 

County for which comparable records are available show an average rise of 

about 0.8 foot between the .spring of 1941 and the spring of 1943. No 

measurements were made in the county during the spring of 1942.

Houston district.--Fluctuations of water levels were observed in three 

general areas designated as (1) the "Houston-Pasadena district, (2) the 

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

sands which supply the water used in both the Houston-Pasadena and Katy 

districts. The outcrop area lies west, northwest and north of Houston-in 

Harris, Port Bend, Wa-ller, and Montgomery Counties.

88 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

In the Houston-Pasadena area, the total average rate of withdrawal 

from wells was about 85,000,000 gallons a day in 1942, representing an increase of about 8,000,000 gallons a day more than in 1941, The water 

levels showed the effect of this increase, an average net decline of 8.7 

feet being recorded between the springs of 1942 and 1943 as compared with 

3.2 feet between the springs of 1941 and 1942.

In the Katy area, the number of acres planted to rice (all of which is 

irrigated frQm wells) increased by only about 3,100 acres from 1941 to 

1942, but the boundaries of the rice-growing district expanded materially. 

Most of the new acreage was in the northern part of the area in the vicinity of Hockley, where 10 new irrigation wells were put in operation. These 

wells, in general, are more widely spaced than those In the central and 

southern part of the area, and draw water, in part, from the sands that are 

stratigraphlcally deeper than those tapped by wells in the southern part. 

The water-level measurements- are made in the spring just before the start 

of the rice irrigation season and the measurements, in general, reflect 

the combined effects of pumping and recharge from rainfall during the preceding year. In 1941 the rainfall was exceptionally heavy and only about 

25,800 acre-feet of water was pumped for_irrigation as compared with about 

50,000 acre-feet in 1940. As a result, the water levels showed a general 

rise between the spring of 1941 and the- spring of 1942, the average net 

rise in 44 observation wells amounting to 2.1 feet. In 1942 the ,pumpage 

reached 43,000 acre-feet, or about 7,000 acre-feet less than it was in 

1940 and there was little net change in water levels between the spring of

1942 and the spring of 1943.

.1

In the outcrop area of the, water-bearing sands northwest and north of - 

Houston, the water levels in the water-table wells were 5 to.10 feet higher 

in 1941 through 1943 than they wer,e In 1939 and 1940, and, in 6 few well's 

far which comparative measurements a're available,, they were as high or 

higher than they were in 1931*-34. This indicates that during the period 

of record more water has been contributed to storage in th«' out wop area 

(the ultimate source of the ground-water supply of the Houston-Pasadena 

and Katy districts) than was withdrawn by movement down the dip tpward the 

pumped area. A proportionately large part of the recharge ocflur,red, 

however, during the abnormally wet year, November 1940 to October 1941.
TEXAS 89

Galveston-Alta Loma-Texaa City district.. The water levels throughout 

Galveston County have declined persistently for a number of years due to 

the continued heavy pumping in the Industrial areas centering around Texas 

City and vicinity, and pumping In the Alta Loma well field by the city of 

Galveston. The water levels throughout the county are now below sea level 

and in many.areas around Texas City, and Alta Loma they range from nearly 

40 to more than 100 feet below sea level.

EAST TEXAS

Angelina and Hacogdoches Counties; Heavy pumping for a paper mill, 

which began to operate In 1939 In the vicinity of Lufkln, caused a general 

decline of the.water levels In wells In the Carrlzo sand in these two 

counties which continued through the spring and summer of 1941, the'amount 

of decline varying with the distance of the well from the center of pumping. 

Because the pumping at the paper mill has been at a nearly constant rate 

since 1939, the' water levels In wells not too remote from the center of 

heavy pumping have reached essential equilibrium. In the wells In 

Nacogdoches County at a considerable distance front the paper mill and 

toward the outcrop of the Carrlzo sand the water levels are still declining. 

In some of the wells the water levels rose slightly during the latter part 

of 1942 and earlypart of 1943, but by the end of 1943,- In most cases, 

they were slightly lower than they were at the end of 1948.

Figure 13shows the fluctuations In water levels In three observation 

wells In Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties. Two of these wells (wells 168 

»and 169} are In Angelina County, naar the heavy pumping at the paper mill. 

The other well (well 113A) Is about 7 miles northeast of Nacogdoches, far 

 beyond the center of heavy"pumping near 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 mllea 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.

The rapid development of Irrigation with water from wells In the High 

Plains In Texas during the last 10 years is believed to.be unprecedented 

anywhere In the United States. In 1943 about 400,000 acres were under 

Irrigation. The total area within the exterior boundaries of the Irrigated

TEXAS 91

districts in the High Plains amounts to about 3,000,000 acres. Hence, 

about 13 percent of the total area within these districts was irrigated 

and there was, on the average, one well to about 1,000 acres. In the more* 

heavi-ly pumped localities the wells were more closely spaced, the average 

being one well to 280 acres in one area of 50 square miles and one well to 

300 acres in another area of 50 square miles.

Since 1937 water-level measurements have been made periodically in 

several hundred observation wells in the High Plains. Some of these wells 

are used for irrigation, some for domestic purposes and stock, and some 

ars unused. Until 1940, measurements were made for-the most part at intervals of 1 to 3 months. It has been found, however, that the most dependable 

information regarding net annual losses from, or additions to, storage in 

the ground-water reservoirs in the pimping districts and closely ^adjacent 

territory can bs obtained by comparing water-level measurements made in 

successive years in the late winter or early spring before irrigation has 

been started. Therefore, the measurements at other times during the year 

have been dropped, but the late winter and spring measurements are made 

each year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

was again light, and the water" levels in the spring of 1943 in most of the 

wells either remained nearly stationary or rose slightly.

WEST TEXAS

SI Paso County.--During 1943 cooperation was continued between the 

c$ty of SI Paso and the Federal Geological Survey. C. R. Jensen, of the 

SI Paso Department of Water and Sewerage, collected the data under the 

direction of A. W. Sayre, of the Geological Survey. As in previous years, 

periodic measurements were made of the depth to water levels in observation 

wells in the vicinity of Bl Paso, records were compiled of the quantities 

of water pumped from wells during the year, and cheiriical analys.es were made 

of water samples from selected wells.
