WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN" PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES,IN 1944

Part 1. NORTHEASTERS STATES

INTRODUCTION

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

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

supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams- during periods 

of fair weather. Water levels in wells register the' stages of these natural 

reservoirs; they show the extent to which.water supplies are depleted by 

drought or by heavy pumping, whether for public waterworks, Irrigation, or

industrial uses, and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons* ,

- \ 

of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in pressure recorded on

flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs. ' '

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure 

in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935:and has 

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

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

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

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

the country. Hawaii is Included in the southwestern section. (See fig, 1.) 

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

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

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

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the northeastern States ami gives records of /

water level and.artesian pressure in about 889 observation' wells of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Connecticut, Delaware, 

Indiana,, Maine, Massachusetts/ Michigan, Hew Hampshire, Hew Jersey, New . ', 

York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Of these wells, 152 are equipped 

with automatic water-stage recorders* 'For some wells not previously re* 

ported complete records of water level are given 'in this volume, including

those of the years before 1944, For wells whose previous records have

 *

been published this volume gives only the current records. If a complete

description of a well has been published in a previous report, only, the > 

well number or the well number and a brief identifying description are 

given in this report. The numbers in parentheses Immediately following a 

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

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

indicates that a description of the well is given in the paper, whoae number 

is ao marked. This report includes about 25,710 individual det*MB&witi<sn» ! 

of water level and artesian 'pressure. x '/ 

.Land-surface datum <,

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and .= 

artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the 

measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea lev«<l or k 

above or below various assumed datum planes. It had been considered inadvisable to adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and 

artesian,heads until after a period of trial with datum planes of
INTRODtKHflOS 3

different kinds. In 1943, however, it was decided that uniform practice 

should be adopted. Accordingly precise datui planes were established 

approximating the land surface at each well. The water levels and artesian 

heads for all wells listed in this report are given in reference to land- ,

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

artesian pressure in observation wells in 1944. The shaded section

surface datum planes. If the water levels or artesian heads are referred

to land-surface datum for the first time, a cpnversion factor is given in 

the descriptive matter preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of 

the older and newer records. sVherever the conversion factor is given in 

earlier reports it is not repeated in this report. New data as, to the 

positions of the measuring point and of the bench marks, in feet above or 

below land-surface datum plane, will be published in succeeding annual 

reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942, the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, WORT3EASTERH STATES ,

ground-water condltiona 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 1944 the network 

included about 160 wells in 45 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942 and about 20 were established In 

1943; the other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly In connection with cooperative ground-water investigations. The coverage of the 

country is still far from adequate, and it is expected that some wells not 

now included will be added to the network from time to time.

Changes in ground-water level In 1944 in the northeastern part of the

United States

In 1944 the precipitation in all but two of the States in the northeastern section of the country was below normal; In Delaware It was normal, 

and in New Jersey it was slightly above normal. The fluctuations of both 

water level and artesian pressure In wells depend, however, on many factors 

besides the amount of precipitation. In certain of vthe observation wells 

there are fluctuations caused by differences in the rate of pumping or 

artesian flow from other wells in the area, but moat of the observation 

wells are not noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. A summary \ 

of the changes in ground-water level is given in the chapter for each 

State.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The ground-water studies in Connecticut being carried on .in cooperaX

tion with the Connecticut State Water Commission were continued during 

1944. In addition to the investigation of ground-water conditions already 

under way In the city of New Haven and the town of Waterbury, a program of 

periodic water-level measurements was begun in the town of Waterbury, and

In scattered observation wells located in Burlington, Falls Village, Plain-

» 

field and the Pomperaug area. These areas are shown on figure 2 , an

Index map of Connecticut.

The Investigation in Mew Haven involved the measurement of water levels 

in 18 observation wells on a monthly basis, and the collection of samples 

for chloride analyses from pumping plants on a bimonthly basis. In Waterbury', monthly samples were collected for determination of sulfate content 

and biweekly water-level measurements were made in 22 observation wells. 

Three other wells in Waterbury and the wells in Burlington and Falls 

Village were measured weekly by local observers, while the well in Plain-1 

field was measured at the end of each month by an engineer from the Hartford office of the surface water division of the United States Geological 

'Survey, B. L., Bigwood, district engineer. The three wells in the Pomperaug' 

area were measured on a biweekly basis.

, . NEW HAVEN AREA

1944 marked the fifth year of the cooperative investigation of groundWater conditions in the New Haven area. To facilitate this study, the city 

of Hew Haven has been divided, into four somewhat arbitrary areas, based on 

the chief use of ground water in each. The boundaries of these areas are

 hown on a map of New Haven published in Water-Supply Paper 986. The 

ft«*idential area comprises the north upland part of the city, where there

 *» relatively few pumping wells, most of then of small capacity. At

widely separated locations J.n this area, however, there are a few industrial plants that pump considerable water. The Air-conditioning area includes the business section, in which theaters, stores, and restaurants 

use ground water for air-conditioning. The Cold-storage area, in which 

ground water is used chiefly for refigeration in storing seat and dairy 

products, extends along State Street from Columbus Avenue to Grand Avenue. 

$he Industrial area, where ground water is used chiefly for manufacturing 

purposes, is in the vicinity of the West and Mill River.

a rfell inaccessible for measurements during summer due to pumping in 

the air-conditioning season.

Measurements In several of the wells listed In the preceding table 

were discontinued during 1944. Two of these wells (HHn 126 and NHn 245) 

were Inacesaible for the greater part of the year, so that the figures

given in the table for the lowest and highest observed water levels in

I 

these .wells may have been exceeded during the periods when the wells were

inaccessible. It.will be noted, that if these two wells be omitted, the 

water level in all but one of the wells in the three pumping areas of the 

city reached its lowest observed state during 1944, although the water 

level in the Residential area was approximately the sane at the end of 1944 

as at the end of the preceding year. The one exception, well NHn 149,

Is affected by pumpage from other wells located at the sane plant, which 

used considerably less ground water in 1944 than during the previous years 

of measurement. '

The effects of heavy pumping in the Air-conditioning, Cold-storage, 

and Industrial areas are also shown by the net changes in water level for

the year, given in the following table. All of the wells in the Residential

» ' 

area show approximately the same water level at the end of 1944 as at the

end of the previous year, although there was increased precipitation, the 

annual rainfall in 1944 being 46.08 inches, or about 9.5 inches above that 

of 1943. On the other hand, all but two of the wells in the pumping areas 

showed a decline in water level for the same period, even thBWgh pumpage 

in these areas was less Airing 1944 than in 1943. 'This indicates that the 

pumpage is exceeding the safe yield for the area.

WATERBDRY AREA

, A part of the investigation of ground-water conditions in the tmm a* 

Waterbury consists of biweekly measurement of water levels in 22 observation wells. (See fig. 3) In addition, local observers have made weekly 

measurements in three additional wells (Wb 1, Wb 14, and ffb 74). Records 

for the first two wells date back to the spring of 1943. v

Analyses of ground water from pumping wells in Waterbury disclosed the 

fact that several of the wells situated close to the Naugatuak River were 

badly contaminated by seepage from the river which contains a high concentration of industrial wastes, largely from brass mills. Samples, collected 

monthly from those wells showing the greatest degree of contamination, were 

analyzed for sulfate content by the Connecticut State Agricultural Experiment 

Station at New Haven, under the direction of Dr. Bailey.

Geology

Waterbury Is underlain by gneiss and schist which, as a rale, yield 

only small quantities of ground water in this area. Glacial till covers 

most of the hilltops and al'opes in the town, furnishing water to moot of , 

the domestic wells. The till, however, has a relatively low porosity. 

As a result, the water level in wella* in the till fluctuates widely during 

the year, and many of these wells go dry each summer. Deposit* of stratified glacial drift occur in the valleys of the Naugatuck River and Mad 

River, and also in scattered pockets. These deposits supply mpst of the 

industrial ground water for W.aterbury. Although the stratified drift deposits are over a hundred feet thick in the valley of the Naugatuck River, \

most wells draw their water from the top 60 feet of drift,

a Depth to water on Nov. 28, 1944.

Measurements in three of the wells listed in the preceding table west 

discontinued during 1944. As measurements were not begun in wells Wb 336 

and Wb 340 until tke middle of the year, it may be that the figures given 

in the table1 for the highest and lowest observed water levels in these
11

wells were exceeded, during the earlier part of the year. Records of measurements in well a Wb 1 and Wb 14 were begun on April 29, 1943, and in well 

Wb 74 on October 18, 1943. Measurements in all the other wells were begun' 

In February 1944, except in Wb 60 where they were begun in the following 

month. Wells Wb 16, Wb 60, and Wb 74 are strongly affected by pumping. 

Ihe relatively greater annual fluctuation of water levels in Waterbury, 

compared with that in New Raven, is due to the fact that many pf the observation wells in Waterbury are located on«alopes, in till, which is leas 

permeable that1 the stratified drift which supplies wells in New Haven. 

It will be note$ that water levels in 15 of the 25 wells reached

their lowest observed stages at the end of August 1944, and water levels / . 

in 17 wells reached their highest observed stages during April and May 1944.

In the only well for which a comparison is possible,, Wb 1, the water level 

at the end of 1944 was 1.08 feet higher than at the end of 1948. This is 

partially due, at least, to recharge from the heavy rainfall which accompanied the hurricane of September 3-4, 1944. The resulting recharge is especially noticeable in the water-level records for wells Wb 25, .Wb 75, Wb 

119, Wb 130, Wb 176, Wb 179, Wb 168, Wb 810, and Wb 836. Although water

levels had been, declining previously, the recharge resulting from the storm

» ' 

caused the level in well Wb 179 to rise 7.24 feet during September, and in *

well Wb 74, a rock well, it rose 11.50 feet. The annual precipitation in ' 

Waterbury was 44.40 inches- in 1944, compared to 35.12 inches in 1943. 

However, over 50 per cent of this rain fell during the last 4 months of the

year. \

Of HER AREAS 

Burlington

Measurements of the water level in an observation' well, Burlington 1,

' was begun in May 1944. This well was measured weekly by a local observer.

The hurricane in September had only a slight effect on the water level in

this well. Seasonal recharge did not begin until the last week in December. The well is located -in a small drainage .basin having. an area of only

about 4 square miles. There is no nearby industrial pumpage , «but the water

 * t 

level in the well may be affected to a small' extent by the withdrawal of

water, by means of a hand pump, for domestic use.
12 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Palls Village

Weekly measurements made by a local observer were begun In a well 

near Falls Village in June 1944. This well showed seasonal recharge by 

the end of the year. It is located in the flood plain of the Hausatonic 

River just above its confluence with the Hollenbeck River.' There is no 

nearby pumping of any kind.

; Plalnfield

Since October 1942, water lawel measurements have been made at the 

end of each month in an observation well in Plainfield by an engineer from 

the Hartford office of the surface-water division of £he United States 

Geological' Survey. The hurricane in September 1944 had only a snail effect 

on this well. Seasonal recharge began in this well in September. At the 

end of 1944, the water level stood 1.0? feet higher than at the end of 

1943, and 0.48 foot higher than at the end of 1942. 

* Poffloeraug area

In April 1944, water-level measurements were, resumed in three wells, 

which were among those measured 50 years ago in connection with Jthe report 

on the hydrology of the Poaperaug Basin by Heinzer. Descriptions of the 

wells, a map showing their locations, and previous water-level measurements are given in that report. Two of the wells, W 1 and W 2, are located in Litehfield County. The third, SI, is in New Haven County. 

Seasonal recharge in these wells began in September with the hurricane. 

The damming of a nearby stream, which has produced a lake of considerable 

size adjacent to the well, has raised the water table in,the vicinity of 

well W 2 approximately 3 feet above the levels measured during Heinzer's 

study. The water level in well S 1 wae higher in 1944 than during the

period 1913 to 1917 because the Well had been used less In recent years.

DELAWARE

By (J. D. DeBubhananne

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of ground-water Investigation in Delaware was begun in 

1043 In cooperation with the town of Lewes and the city 'of Rehoboth Beach. 

The wells included in this report are located at Port Miles, which lies

between these two Municipalities.

,»

The investigations have been limited to these two municipalities and 

adjacent areas in an attempt $o determine the extent of salt-water encroachment in aquifers from which the municipalities draw their public 

supplies.

Measurements were made on two observation wells in this ar^a. One 

well is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder and the other is 

measured once a week. Both wells shorf tidal fluctuations' and at least 

one is affected by pumpage. The record on these two wells is not long 

enough to draw any conclusions as to the trend of water-level fluctuations*

Precipitation in Delaware for 1944 was 0.80 inch above1 normal. The 

months of May through August had deficient; rainfall which totaled 6.38 

inches. Even with the heavy precipitation that accompanied the September 

14 hurricane, it was not until November that the accumulated precipitation 

for the year was above normal again.

The pumpage at Lewes, is not metered but is estimated to average about 

300,000 gallons dally. In Rehoboth Beach the pumpage average is about ,

270,000 gallons dally. It varies, however, from a high of about 800,000

/ 

gallons a day in the summer to a low of about 100,000 gallons daily during

the winter months.

INDIANA

By F. H. KLaer, Jr., and J. G. Ferrla

The observation-well program In Indiana was continued during 1944 as 

a-part of the State-wide Investigation of water resources In cooperation 

with the Indiana Department of Conservation, the Indiana Stfate Highway 

Commission, and the Indiana State Boa'rd of Health. The main purpose of 

the ground-water phase of the Investigation Is to Inventory the groundwater supplies of the State, to determine the seasonal range in fluctuation and the general trends In ground-water levels, and to determine the 

relations of changes In ground-water storage to stream flow, precipitation, 

and lake levels.

The program In Indiana during 1944 was directed toward the Investigation of ground-water conditions In clrlteal areas where large, quantities 

of water are pumped for municipal and war-production purposes. A detailed 

Investigation of ground-water conditions In the South Bend area, In coop-" 

eratlon with the city of South Bend, was started In August, Brief 

detailed Investigations of local problems pertaining to water supply for 

war production were made In about 10 smaller areas In the State.

The observation-well program in Indiana was expanded during 1944 as 

part of the larger water-resources Investigation. In-December 1943 the 

program Included 53 wells, In which measurements of water level were made 

at weekly, semimonthly and monthly Intervals. Two of these wells were 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. During 1944 measurements 

of water level were being made In 1?1 wells. During the year 78 well* 

were added, and.9 wells were dropped from the program. Of the remaining 

122 wells, 4 were measured at Irregular Intervals, 11 once a month, 21 

'twice a month, 63 once a week, 4 dally, and 19 were equipped with waterstage recorders. Approximately 5,000 Individual measurements of water 

level were made and about 3,200 additional water levels were computed 

from recorder charts. The*locations of well's Included In the program In

December 1944 are shown In figure 4.

Figure 4. Map of Indiana, showing location of observation wells, 1944.
In order to maintain a continuous record of water levels in which all. 

measurements are comparable, an arbitrary datum plane has been established 

for each well. This datum approximates the land surface at the well, to 

which all measurements ars referred. In this way confusion rasuiting from 

changes in measuring point is minimized.

-PHBCIPITATIOF

The annual precipitation for Indiana during 1944 averaged 33.83 

inches over the State, or 5,25 inches below the average for the 58-year 

period of record. Precipitation was above normal, in February, March, 

April, Hay, and August. A moderately severe drought followed the spring 

rains. Deficient precipitation during June, July, and. early August caused 

widespread damage to crops'.

The precipitation for different sections of the State is summarized 

in the following table.

Ground-water supplies were generally adequate; although precipitation 

was below normal from August until the. end of the year and shortages were 

reported at several localities.

It should be noted that of the 48 wells for which records of water

Level are available for a period of at least 5 years, the highest water

i 

level for the period of record occurred during 1944 in 7 wells. Also,

the lowest water levels for,the period of record occurred during 1944 in 

7 wells. Many of the wells in which the lowest water level? occurred are 

in areas of large ground-water withdrawals and are affected by pumping 

from nearby wells*

The net changes in water level during 1944 in observation wells for 

which records are available are given below. The net change is the difference in th,e water level obtained, by measurements nearest to December 31, 

1943 and December 31, 1944. It should be realized that the lowest water 

levels during the winter of 1943-44 were generally not reached until 

February 1944, while the lowest water levels during the winter of 1944-45 

were generally reached in December 1944 and January 1945. It should be 

remembered also that the average precipitation for the year was more than 

5 inches below normal. The combined result of these factors should be a 

net average decline in water level during 1944 and this is confirmed by 

well records in the following table.

a Affected by1 pumping from nearby wells.

During January 1944, the water levels generally declined, reaching

-, 

the lowest stages for the winter in February. Heavy rains in March, April,

and May caused all wells to rise rapidly, generally reaching their highest observed water levels in June. From July through December the water 

levels in most wells declined, largely because of the deficiency in precipitation during the growing season when peak water demands by plant life 

was satisfied by withdrawals from ground-water storage, and a continued 

deficiency of precipitation in the last part of the year when recharge 

would normally occur. Excessive rainfall during August had little effect 

on the declining water levels.

In order to show the relations of water levels in Indiana during 1944 

to water levels during other years, the graphs of Water level in three 

wells, Clark 1, near Henryville, Montgomery 1, .at Waveland, and Steuben 1, 

near Angola, are shown in figure 5. It may be seen that the water 

levels during \tne past 10 years in these wells have shown little permanent 

decline. The years of extreme low levels correspond closely to the years 

of deficient precipitation. These wells are believed to reflect only 

natural fluctuations of water level and are not affected by pumping from 

nearby wells. ' 

In order to show examples of trends in ground-water levels in areas 

of large pumpage of ground water, the graphs of two observation wells, 

Marion 2, ending in gravel, and Marion 10, ending in limestone, in the

MAINE

By H. N. Halberg 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The program" of periodic measurements of water level was continued In 

1944 in five observation wells In Maine. Three of the wells are In the 

southern part of the State, at Amherst, Cornish and Mercer, in the drainage 

basins Of the Union, Saco, and Kennebec Rivers, respectively. The other 

two are in the northern part of the State, at Portage and Sherman Mills, 

in the drainage basins of the St. John and Penobscot Rivers, respectively. 

In all, 226 measurements of water level were made during 1944.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The water level In observation wells in northern Maine shows evidence 

of a definite seasonal pattern. This Is due to the climate, which In 

northern Maine Is colder than elsewhere in New England. The water level 

falls steadily during the winter, when the ground Is frozen and snow covered, 

with no recharge of the ground-water reservoir until late winter or early 

spring, when the snow melts and the reservoir Is recharged rapidly. Two 

good examples of this seasonal fluctuation are given by the wells at 

Portage and Sherman Mills (U. S. 103 and U. S. 1C5). At both wells 

starting In November 1943 there was a steady decline until late in March 

1044, when the water level rose slightly. There followed a sharp rise 

over a period of one or two weeks in the middle of April.

The wells In southern Maine show this seasonal pattern to a limited

extent. Occasionally there is some recharge of the ground-water reservoir

i

In December. The records of the wells at Mercer and Amherst (U. S. 102 

and U. S. 158) Indicate that the spring recharge may begin in February, 

and be completed either In March or April.

Precipitation In Maine In 1944, for the State as a whole, was about 

1.8 inches below normal, and about 4.3 Inches less than In 1943. Normal

for the year Is 40.16 inches. Precipitation was reported above normal at 

78
MAUDS 79

12 out of 29 stations, as compared with 23 out of 51 stations in 1945. In 

January, Hay, and August precipitation watt extremely low, and it was deficient in April. Several stations in northern Maine reported less than 

0.2 inch in January. There was greater than normal rainfall, in June and 

October, and excessive precipitation in September and November, the total 

at several stations amounting to more than 7 inches in September due to the 

tropical hurricane which passed through eastern Halne on September 15.

In general, the water level in the observation wells in Maine reflects 

changes in precipitation. All wells show rather clearly the effect of 

heavy precipitation in the autumn. At the Portage and Sherman Mills wells 

the effect of heavy rainfall in September and October is indicated by sharp 

rises in those months. At the wells at Amherst and Mercer the effect of 

heavy rainfall in November is shown by a continuation of the rise during 

that month.

There was an increase in ground-water storage in Maine during 1944, 

as indicated by a net rise in water level at four of the five observation 

wells. Only one well, IT. S. 102, at Mercer, showed a decline during the 

year. The water level in the wells at Portage and Sherman Mills rose 

during 1944 as compared with a negligible drop at Portage and a slight drop 

at Sherman Mills in 1943. The rise in 1944 is attributed to the high 

precipitation in September and October as there was about 5.5 Inches less 

rainfall than in 1943 at Presque Isle, near Portage, and about 0.2 inch 

less at Mllllnocket, near Sherman Mills. The rise in the water level in 

the well at Amherst is also attributed to, the high precipitation in the 

autumn since there was about 4.5 Inches less precipitation in 1944 at nearby 

Oldtown than there was in 1945. The well at Cornish had an appreciable net 

rise of 2.54 feet (the water level on January 5, 1945, was 9.82 feet below 

land-surface datum). This rise is in agreement with the precipitation x 

measured at the nearby station at Hiram where rainfall ,in 1944 was about

2.5 Inches greater than in 1943 and about 4.8 Inches greater than normal.

» x 

At Mercer the slight drop in water level agrees with the precipitation

measured at nearby Madison, which was 7.4 Inches less in 1944 than In 1945 

and about 0.6 inch less than normal.

PROGRAM OP WORK ,

The Investigation of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts, 

begun in 1938, was continued in 1944 In cooperation with the Massachusetts 

Department of Public Works- Monthly water-level measurements were made In 

33 wells In the Lowell and the Aberjona Valley areas, Middlesex County. 

Periodic measurements of water levels were also made In two wells In 

Worcester County, and In one well each in Berkshire, 'Essex, Franklin, and 

Hampden Counties. In all, about 500 individual water-level measurements 

were made. Water-stage recorders were operated throughout the year on the 

two wells in Worcester County, at Leominster and Wlnchendon. Monthly 

readings were made on all other wells. Beginning in September, readings 

were made weekly In three wells in Woburn and in one well In Wilmlngton. 

A water-stage recorder was installed on the Wilmlngton well in December. 

Readings at three wells in Lowell were discontinued during the year.

In the spring, quantitative ground-water studies were begun In the 

vicinity of Fresh Pond, in Cambridge. As part of this project, water-level 

observations were made weekly in 20 teat wells that were drilled by the 

Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Water-stag-e recorders were 

Installed on two of these wells in November and on Fresh Pond in July. 

These water-level data are to be published in another report. In the meantime, the records are available for inspection in the offices of the V. S. 

Geological Survey at Jamaica, New York, and at Boston, Massachusetts.

In September, a report describing the ground-water studies in northeastern Massachusetts was presented at the annual meeting of the New

i/ ' 

England Water Works Association at Poland Springs, Maine. This paper

describes the nature of the work being carried out, the progress made since 

,the work was begun in 1938, and ground-water conditions in the Lowell and 

Aberjona Valley areas.

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

wells in Massachusetts included in this report, for which there are complete records in 1944, showed a net rise during ^he year. In general, the 

rise was greater in wells that penetrate unstratified sandy clay than it 

was in wells that penetrate stratified sand and gravel. The net rise In 

water levels during 1944 is chiefly the result of greater precipitation 

than in 1943, particularly the result of heavy rains in September and 

November.

The water levels in three of the wells that showed net declines for 

toie year, Woburn 1, Woburn 36, and Lowell' 43, were affected by pumping wells 

nearby. The other two, Brimfield 12 and Winchendon 13, did not react as 

quickly as others to the heavy precipitation in September and November, 

and hence the water levels did not recover to their position at the beginning of the year.

In 1944 the precipitation for the State as a whole was about 1.5 

inches less than normal and about 2.5 inches greater than in 1943. The 

precipitation at Boston was about 1 inch less than the average for the 

preceding 10 years, and was about 5 inches grealser than in 1943. At Lowell 

it was about at the average for the preceding 10 years and about 2 inches 

greater than in 1943. Water levels, which were at about normal stages at 

the end of 1943, rose to high stages by the end of April as the result of 

above normal precipitation in March and April. As a result of deficient 

precipitation in May, the levels dropped sharply to below-normal stages by 

the end of the month. The decline was checked by heavy rains in June, but 

lack of rainfall in July and August caused water levels to fall to abnormally low stages. The decline was checked again in September by heavy 

rains and further precipitation in November produced additional recharge, 

resulting in a net rise in the water table for the year. At the end of 

each of the last 4 months of the year, the average water level in Middlesex 

County -was,the highest it had been for that time of the year since the
86 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATBS

beginning of record in, 1939. At the end of November, six wells in Middlesex County reached new highs for the period of record.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Michigan was continued during 1944 in cooperation with the Geological 

Survey Division of the Michigan Department of Conservation. Continuous 

records of water level were obtained through the year on two wells equipped 

with automatic water-stage recorders. During the year, water-level measurements were made weekly in 5 observation wells, monthly in 45 wells, and 

annually in 53 wells. About 1,200 individual measurements- of water level 

were made in 1944. Th.e observation wells, for which water-level records 

are included in this report, are located in the Lower Peninsula. For 

convenience, this area is sub-divided into the northern and the southern 

part of the Lower Peninsula. An earlier report-^included an index map 

showing the location of the observation wells ( in Michigan.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL 

Northern Part of Lower Peninsula

Measurements of water level were made, at least once during the year, 

in 42 observation wells located in Cheboygan, Grand Traverse, Missaukee, 

Montmorency, Presque Isle, and Wexford Counties. Monthly measurements 

were made in 45 wells in Crawford, Kalkaska, Otsego, and Roscommon Counties.

In the first half of 1944, the water-level measurements wei*e made by 

Norman Billings, hydrologist of the Michigan Geological Survey Division. 

Measurements through the latter part of the year were made by personnel 

of the U. S. Geological Survey.

Water levels in the 45 observation wells, for which monthly measurements are available, showed, on the average, a net decline of about 1 foot 

during 1944. The subnormal precipitation during the nongrowing season in

the first part of the year resulted in a net loss of about 1.2 feet

In the high water level for the spring of 1944 as compared to the peak 

stage for 1943. The latter part of 1944 was a period of prolonged drought 

and accordingly the water levels in most wells showed a general downward 

trend during the last half of the year. In the 10 year period, 1935-44, 

the average water level -for this group of wells at the end of 1944 was the 

third lowest end-of-the-year stage recorded, being exceeded only in 1935 

and 1939.

The trends of water level shown by the continuous records obtained 

from the automatic water-stage recorders in operation on wells near Grayling and Roscommon, are very similar to the trends shown by the average 

water level for the group of wells noted above. The depth to water in the 

Grayling recorder well ranged from 5.19 feet below land surface on June 24 

to 7.95 feet on Sept. 9. Some recharge occurred from October through 

December to raise the water level in this well to a depth of 6.91 fset 

below the land surface on December 29, a rise of about 1 foot in a period 

of almost 4 months.

The depth to water In the Roscommon recorder well ranged from 4.32 

feet below land surface on June 24 to 5.85 feet on December 29. Although - 

the hydrograph of this well indicates ( there wag recharge to the water 

table from October through December, a's in -the case of the Grayling well, 

the amount of such recharge was not sufficient to compensate for the steep 

downward trend caused by the prolonged drought period. The net result of 

the minor amounts of recharge and the reduced evapotranspiration demands 

during the October-December period'was a flattening of the rate of waterlevel decline.. ,,

Southern Part of Lower Peninsula

Water-level measurements were made at least twice during the year in

»

10 wells located In Calhoun, Ingham, Kalamazoo, Oakland, St. Joseph, and 

Washtenaw Counties. Weekly or semlweekly measurements were made In 6 wells 

In Calhoun, Oakland, and Washtenaw Counties. In all, 549 individual 

measurements of water level were made during the year in the above wells. 

The observation wells in this southern area are situated within the

larger municipalities and, in general, the water-level trends are greatly

i

influenced by the withdrawal of water from local industrial and publicsupply wells. A discussion of the water-level fluctuations and the pumpage

The average dally withdrawal from the municipal wells in Lansing was 

14.1 million gallons in 1944 as compared to 12.8 million gallons in 1943; 

11.1 million gallons in 1942; 10.8 million gallons in 1941; and 9.4 million 

gallons in 1940. The average daily pumpage, in July, the peak month in 

1944, was 16.6 million gallons.

The most notable changes in water level in the Lansing area observation wells occurred in wells 6 and 7 which show declines In water level 

ranging from 5 to 10 feet over the 1-year period 1943-44. These wells 

are located in the Northwest quadrant of the city in the vicinity of the 

new municipal water-supply developments. The gradual shift of the heavy 

pumpingx to this area is probably responsible, in large part, for the large 

declines of water level reflected by wells 6 and 7.

The total precipitation at Lansing, in 1944, was 25.86 inches, or 

5.63 inches below normal. This represents the first year> of below-normal 

precipitation within the past 5-year period 1940-44 inclusive. The 

greater part of the deficiency in precipitation during 1944 was accumulated 

during the last half of the year. As may be noted above, all of the waterlevel measurements for the Lansing wells were made in the latter part of 

the year, and, accordingly, the general lowering of water level of about 

2 feet shown by wells, 2, 3, 4, and 8 between 1943 and 1944 might be 

attributed to the aforementioned deficiency in precipitation.

Measurements in wells 1, 2,. and 3 were made by personnel of the city 

waterworks of the city of Kalamazoo.

The average daily pumpage from the municipal wells in Kalamazoo in 

1944 was 8.62 million gallons, about 1.90 million gallons more than in 

1943 and 2.85 million gallons more than in 1942. The average dally 

pumpage in 1944 ranged from 7.1 million gallons in January to 10.3 million , 

gallons in August.

The water levels in wells 1, 2, and 3 .averaged, respectively, 3.9, 

5.3, and 5.1 feet lower in 1944 than in 1943. The decline in water levels 

in each of these wells is probably due, in part, to the increased pumpage 

noted above. The larger water-level declines reported for wells 2 and 3 

are in keeping with the pumpage data which indicate that the increases in 

pumpage were occasioned by the adding of new producing wells in that portion 

of the well field which is nearer to wells 2 and 3;

The precipitation at Kalamazoo, in 1944, was 29.65 inches, or 5.50 

inches below normal. A large part of this deficiency was accumulated 

during the last.half of the year and it may be noted that the latter water 

level records for each well show a considerable decline below the levels 

of the first half of the year. It may be noted that the precipitation 

factor is as great an influence as the pumpage in affecting the water level 

in tjhese wells. ' '

Water-level measurements In wells 1, 2, and 3 were made by H. L. 

Monroe, superintendent, and H. W. MacDuff, chief engineer of the Depart-* 

meat of Water Supply for the city of Pontiac.

The average daily pumpage from the municipal wells in Pontiac, during 

1944, ranged from 7.38 million 'gallons, in April to 10.3 million gallons in 

August, and averaged 8.3 million gallons for the year. The average daily 

pumpage in 1943 was 7.64 million gallons and in 1942 was 7.07 million 

gallons. The average daily withdrawal in 1944 of 8.3 million gallona represents an increase of 956 over the 1943 rate and 17j£ over the 1942 rate.

The total precipitation at'Pontlac, in 1944, was 23.40 inches or 

5.85 inches below normal. The greater part of this rainfall deficiency 

was accumulated during the last half of the year.

The net decline in the average water level in wells 1, 2, and 3 from 

1943 to 1944 was respectively 5.9, 4.5, and 9.3 feet. As noted from the 

water-level record's, a large part of the decline of water level in each 

well occurred in the latter part of 1944 which was a period of deficient 

rainfall and also a period of increased pumpage. Probably both the increased pumpage and the rainfall deficiency were of equal importance in 

contributing to the decline in water level.

112 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

. The average dally pumpage at the Steere Farm pumping station, In 1944, 

ranged from 0.90 million gallons In May to 2.76 million gallons In July 

and averaged 1.90 million gallons. This represents an increase of 0,44 

million gallons a day over the pumpage of 1943; an Increase of 0.15 million 

gallons a day over the pumpage of 1942; and an Increase of 0.63 million 

gallons a day over the pumpage of 1941. The lowest water level reached 

In well 1 was about 2.4 feet lower In 1944 than In 1943, 1.4 feet higher 

than In 1942 and 0.4 foot higher than In 1941. The precipitation, at Ann 

Arbor was 3.56 Inches below normal In 1944; 6.27 Inches above normal in 

1943; 5.87 Inches above normal In 1942; and 2.28 inches below normal in 

1941.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

By H. N. HalbergPROGRAM OF WORK

Periodic measurements of water level, begun in New Hampshire in 1942 

at one observation well near Bristol, in the town of Hill, Merrimack County, 

were continued in 1944, and 10 measurements were made in this well during 

the year.

The Manchester Water Works began periodic measurements of water level 

in ,Serptember 1942 at two observation wells in Auburn, Rockingham County. 

Both wells are in hilly country and penetrate unconsolidated material. 

One measurement was made at each well in 1942, and readings were continued 

about on a monthly basis thereafter. A water-stage recorder was installed 

on well Auburn 10 on January 28, 1944. All readings that have been made 

at the two wells are included in this report.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level in the well near Bristol appear to

be due largely to temperature and precipitation changes. The slight net

/ 

gain in underground storage during 1944, as indicated by a net rise in the

water level of about 0.7 foot, (the water level on January 2, 1945, was 

7.99 feet below land-surface datum) seems to be due to an increase in preicipitation over that of 1943. The precipitation at nearby Franklin was 

about 3.3 inches above normal in 1944, and about 1.6 inches more than in 

1943. Normal precipitation at Franklin is 39.92 inches.

The rise in water level in March^and April 1944 in the well in Bristol 

was largely the result of temperatures high enough to melt the snow cover. 

The effect of a slight deficiency of precipitation in April was overcome 

by this snow melt. The seasonal decline in May, due to the beginning of 

the growing season, was increased by greater than normal temperatures and 

deficient precipitation. Excessive rainfall in June caused a small rise.

113
114 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE,. 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The two wells'in Auburn apparently reflect changes in precipitation " 

and temperature. During 1943, a loss in underground storage near both 

wells was indicated by a net decline in water level of 0.5 foot in well 

Auburn 8 and 1.3 feet in well Auburn 10. A gain in underground storage 

during 1944 was Indicated by a net riae of 0.5 foot in the former (the 

water level on January 1, 1945, waa 1.60 feet below land-surface datum) and 

1.1 feet at the. latter well. The precipitation at nearby Manchester was 

about 2,0 inches below normal in 1943 and about 2.5 inches above normal 

In 1944. Normal precipitation at Manchester ia 39.15 inches.

An unseaaonal decline in water level in both wells in Auburn during 

March 1943 reflected deficient precipitation, which was about two-thirds 

of normal. In May the water level fell, reflecting the beginning of the 

growing season, aa rainfall was about 160 percent of normal. In June the 

needs of plants and deficient precipitation caused a further decline, but 

considerable recovery waa made In July with greater than normal rainfall. 

In September extremely deficient precipitation (0.99 inch at Manchester) 

caused the water level to continue to drop. Excessive rains in October 

and November caused considerable recovery, but negligible precipitation in 

December (0.62 inch at Manchester) resulted in a net l^>ss in underground 

storage at both wells during 1943.

During March 1944 the water level in both wells rose, reflecting the 

well above normal rainfall. The sharp drop in May in well Auburn 10 was the 

result of high temperatures, deficient precipitation, and the needs of 

plants. The rise In June In well Auburn 10 was the result of excessive" 

rainfall (over 7 inches at Manchester). The water level in this well fell 

off sharply in July and August, reflecting the deficient precipitation In 

those two months. Excessive- rainfall in September caused a sharp recovery 

In the water level in both wells, and the level rose farther in November 

as a result of high precipitation. Although December showed a slight 

decline, there was a net gain in underground storage for the year In both 

wells.

NEW JERSEY

By J. M. Birdsall

PROGRAM OP WORK

t

The Investigations of the ground-water resources of New Jersey were 

continued during 1944 In cooperation with the Hew Jersey State Water 

Policy Commission, under a cooperative agreement between these agencies.

During 1944 about 4,100 measurements were made and at the end of the 

year approximately ^95 wells were being observed; measurements were made 

monthly or less frequently in some of the wells, biweekly and weekly In 

others and 4 times a day In one. Continuous records from water-stage 

recorders were obtained for 54 wells during the year. The State and 

Federal governments owned and operated 46 of these recorders; the other 

8 being owned by private water-supply companies, or industries.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The average precipitation for the State during 1944 was 46.76 inches 

or 1.04 inches above normal. Precipitation varied greatly in different 

localities. Annual totals ranged from 94.01 inches at Cape May to 59.19 

inches ttt B31 mhflth,. In general, more precipitation occurred In the 

eastern part of the State, Annual totals were 50 Inches or more over a 

considerable area from Hudson and Essex Counties southward to Ocean 

County and extending for about 20 to 25 miles inland.

A tropical hurricane occurred on September 1? and 14, the most 

destructive storm in the State in 50 years, causing property damage amounting to approximately $25,000,000 and a loss of 8 lives in the coastal areas. 

The high tide accompanying the storm, although of short duration inundated 

the tops of many wells in the Atlantic City area allowing some aalt water 

to enter through breather pipes and through inadequate seals. This could

be pumped out and, except from a sanitary standpoint, the contamination

. / 

was not considered to be serious. September was the wettest month of the

117
118 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

year due to the heavy rains that accompanied the hurricane.

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

Middlesex County, is considered to be a fairly reliable index of the 

amount of water stored in the ground. Its water level responds quickly 

to precipitation and, due to its location, it is not affected by pumping. 

Prom the hydrograph, it would appear that throughout the year the groundwater storage was generally slightly above that during the preceding year. 

Beginning on June 20 there was a fairly uniform drop due to transpiration 

and below normal precipitation until September 13, when a pronounced rise 

occurred as the result of heavy precipitation at the time of the hurricane. 

Following the hurricane a moderate drop was registered until October 20, 

when approximately 1.66 inches of precipitation in this area produced a 

rise in the water level. At the end of the year the wtfter level was 0.57 

foot above that recorded on December 31, 1943.

In Salem County the water levels in 13 wells reached new high 

stages in 1944 and one reached a new low. Eight of the new high stages 

occurred near the end of March one of the five wettest on record with 

a total precipitation for the State of 151 percent. In Middlesex County 

three wells showed record high stages. One of these, the Old Bridge 

observation well, recording levels in the Old Bridge sand member of the 

Earltan formation, reached new high stages on September 14 or 15. These

were the results of the hurricane. The other two were the Sayreville test

t

well with a record of 11.55 feet above mean sea level on March 27, 1944, 

and Runyon Old Deep well Ho. 1, with a recording of 12.8 feet above mean 

sea level on March 26, 1344. These two wells tap the No. 1, or Farrington, 

sand members of the Rar^tan formation. The high stages reflect.a slacking 

up of pumpage from the industrial wells in the Parlin area which also tap 

the No. 1 sand.

The water level in the 800-foot sand in Atlantic Oity was approximately 

8 feet higher during the first 4 months in 1944 than in the previous year. 

Starting in May and continuing through August of 1944 there was a uniform

decline. The water levels for the 2 years were about the same during the

i 

middle of July; from that time until the end of the year, the water level

\

for 1944 remained below that of 1943, at times as much as 9 feet below. 

The water level in the Longport well, -which taps the same artesian
NEW JERSEY, ATLANTIC COUNTY 119

aquifer, showed a similar trend through the 12-month period with a much 

smaller difference between the 1943 and 1944 period. Inasmuch1 as the intake 

area is at a considerable distance from this pumpage area, the precipita* 

tion may not be considered too important a factor; the pumpage probably 

accounts for the trend and this was to some extent influenced by the fact 

that military establishments were still functioning in this area.

NEW YORK

, CENTRAL MEW YORK

/

By Gordon R. Ayer

PROGRAM OP WORK

The periodic observation of water levels in a,few wella in the central 

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

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

1944 In cooperation with the New York State Department of Conservation. 

At the end of the year seven wells were under observation--four in Cortland 

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

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

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

wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders,>which are inspected 

weekly by local observers and frequently, also, between the weekly inspections, by an engineer of the Geological Survey. During the year 234 

measurements were obtained in the four wells.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

An earlier report discusses briefly the topography and geology of the 

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

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

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

reflects the effect of climatologic variations on the fluctuations of water 

level in these areas. The year 1944 was characterized by a slightly below 

normal amount of precipitation in the early months, accompanied by relatively 

cold months of March and April, so that the spring recharge Was delayed 

until late June and levels in wells, in general, remained somewhat below 

normal until that time. Beginning with July, monthly precipitation was 

considerably below normal, and well levels declined steadily, reaching low 

points for the year in late September or early October. In most cases

theae low points were the lowest levels reached in the wells during the

167
168 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

past 6 years. Heavy-rainfall in the latter part of October caused levels 

to rise rapidly until they were about normal in all wells. Continued

precipitation held levels at about normal during the remainder of the year 

and, as a result, an average net gain of nearly 1 foot for the year was

recorded.

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

LOMCr ISLAND

By M. L. Brasliears, Jr.

The investigation of ground-water conditions on Long Island was continued during 1944 in cooperation with the New York State Water Power and 

Control Commission, the Nassau County Department of Public Works, the 

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

Authority. A part of the ground-water studies consisted of periodic measurements of water levels in a large number of observation wells scattered
\ 

170 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN 'PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

r

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

Riverhead, During the year, observations were continued in somewhat more 

than 200 wells, about 20 of which were equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders, and about 3,500 measurements were obtained. -

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

large supplies of wat*r to wells that tap them. There are flvb moi-e or less . 

well recognized water-bearing zones* The upper and most productive 

consists- of extensive beds of glacial outwaah which in most places are not

overlain with impervious material. The second zone, the Jameco/gravel,

/ 

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

the island and Is usually covered by the Gardiners clay, an Interglaclal 

deposit. The third and fourth, zones consist of widespread Cretaceous beds 

of supposed Magothy age. The third zone lies in the upper part of the Magothy 

deposits and generally consists of coarse to medium sand. In the center of 

the island these sands ar,e open to the overlying glacial outwash, whereas 

around the herders of the island they are covered by either the Gardiners 

clay or the Jameco gravel. The fourth zone lies in the lower part of the 

Magothy beds, consists of coarse sand and gravel, and is generally ; 

overlain by beds and lenses of clay distributed within the Magothy deposits. 

The fifth and lowermost zone, the Lloyd sand, lies just above the bedrock 

floor of the island and is generally covered by beds of Raritan clay. 

The Lloyd sand, also of Cretaceous age, consists of beds of sand and gravel 

which extend throughout much of Long Island.

The'shallow-lying upper glacial beda constitute a reservoir in which 

large quantities of water are stored and into which water derived from 

precipitation can readily sink. As a result, the water table In these 

beds responds more or less rapidly to changes in the rate of precipitation.

In contrast, the deeper sands that lie beneath clay beds are under artesian

i 

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

down from the overlying formations, through relatively small Intake 

areas. The safe yield of the upper glacial beds^is governed more or less 

by the average rate of precipitation, whereas that of the deeper sands is 

limited by the capacity of the beds to transmit water from the areas of 

intake to points of withdrawal. Because of these features the movement of 

water levels in wells that penetrate" the deeper sands Is controlled chiefly 

by changes in rate of withdrawal.
NEW YORK,'LONG( ISLAND ' 171

The relation between precipitation and the fluctuation of water levels 

has been discussed at considerable length by Leggette and by Jacob 

and the effect of ground water withdrawal oh water levels in deep wells 

has been reported by Leggette .

Most of the observation wells on Long Island are screened in the 

upper glacial beds, from which over half of the withdrawals are taken, but 

a number of them penetrate the deeper beds. The observation wells that 

appear in the present report and which penetrate the deeper water-bearing 

formations are listed in the following table:

Generally speaking, Long Island may be divided into two hydrologio 

provinces. At the western end of the island, excessive pumping for a number of years has lowered the water table below sea level in a large area 

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

of the depression in the water table lies as much as 30 feet below mean 

sea level, with the water level in pumping wells being at an even greater 

depth. In the other parts of the island the perennial recharge exceeds 

ground-water withdrawals with the result that the water table stands above 

sea level except at a few places along the shore where local over-development has occurred. In the higher parts of the island the water table 

stands as much as 80 feet above mean sea level. In the overdeveloped area1 at 

the western end of Long Island, the water table responds more or less

rapidly to changes in the distribution of pumping and also the over-all 

rate of withdrawal, whereas In the other parts of the island the major 

fluctuations of the ground-water level are chiefly the result of differences 

in amount and distribution of precipitation.

" The following tables summarize the data pertaining to ground-water 

levels for Long Island. The comparative data Is given in terms of mean 

se% level only. The water-level records for 1944, however, are listed in , 

terms of two datum planes, mean sea level (Sandy Hook) and land Surface. 

The constant distance between the datum planes at each well is also 

indicated.

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

for a number of years as the result of excessive pumping. In 1942, however, 

the trend of water, levels was reversed and a general rise occurred (see 

fig. 7 ), particularly in'the center of the overpumped area. The upward 

trend of the water table continued in 1944, indicating a net decline in overall pumpage and the establishment <of a more favorable relationship between 

ground-water recharge and withdrawal in Kings County. However, water levels 

are still far below sea level over a large area and slat wate^ continues to 

flow inland from the bodies of sea water surrounding Kings County.

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

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

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

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

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

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

i 

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

observation wells occurred in the latter ^art of 1941 or the early part of 

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

as 1932 and IP??. Further, it will be noted that the highest observed water 

level in wells installed prior to 1939 occurred relatively soon after 

measurements were begun, whereas the highest water level for a majority of 

the wells installed since 1939 was recorded in 1944. It will appear, therefore, that, in general, the water table has recovered to approximately its

I 

1939 stage. The second of the preceding tables indicates equally favorable

conditions. As shown, net rises ranging up to as much as 1.4 feet occurred 

in all but five of the wells in 1944.

Further evidence regarding the recovery is indicated by the record for 

well K30, a diagnostic well situated near the bottom of the water-table 

depression and on which a water-stage recorder has been operated since 1935.

Figure 7. Tr&nd or water level in well K30, B
178 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The lowest water level for this well, 29.75 feet below mean sea level, was 

recorded In November 1941. (See fig. 7.) During March 1944, the water 

level in well K30 rose to the highest stage recorded since June 1937, having 

recovered more than 2 to 27.36 feet above mean sea level. Thereafter the 

water level in well K30 declined until September, when it again began to 

rise. At the end of the year the stage wa s about 0.2 foot lower than for 

the previous year but its rate of rise near the' end of the year, if continued, forecasted stages* in 1945 which would exceed the peak for 1944.

Except in the vicinity of heavily pumped publio water-supply plants 

along the south shore of Queens and Nassau Counties, water levels in the 

remainder of Long Island trended upward as the result of above normal 

precipitation. In 1P44 the precipitstion amounted to nearly 52 inches, or 

about 9 inches above normal and 11 inches greater than for 1943. The 

distribution was uneven, most of the precipitation falling in the first 

4 and last 4 months of the year. As a result, the water table^rose 

rapidly during the early part of the year, declined just as rapidly 

during the middle of the year, and then recovered toward the end of 1944. 

However, the net movement of the water table .during the year amounted to 

a rise of about 1 foot, an increase in ground-water storage being caused 

thereby.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in Ohio njas continued in 1944 in cooperation with the Ohio Engineering Experiment Station, the Boards of Commissioners of Butler and -Hamilton Counties and the Federal Works Agency. 

Approximately 6,000 individual measurements of water levels were made in 

observation wells during 1944. At the end of the year automatic waterstage recorders were In operation on 37 observation wells, 19 In Butler 

and Hamilton Counties, and 18 throughout the vest of the State. In 

addition, weekly measurements were made in 81 observation wells and 

monthly measurements In 4 others. The majority of these wells are located 

In Butler and Hamilton Counties.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

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

Weather Bureau, amounted to 33.36 inches for the year, or 4.45 inches 

below normal. In general, precipitation in the late winter and spring 

months was sufficient to cause rises In ground-water levels In areas not 

affected by heavy pumping. However, these rises were generally less than 

In 1943 because of widespread soil-moisture deficiencies resulting from 

the drought prevailing throughout the last half of 1943 and early part of 

1944. Many farm wells were reported dry during that period. Deficient 

stream flow, due to insufficient ground water runoff, resulted in serious 

depletion of surface-water supplies, notably at Columbus and at Lima.

In most of -the heavily pumped areas of the State, such &a the

Creek area, in Hamilton County, and the central section of Canton, pumping 

exceeded recharge and net declines in ground water levels occurrefl. 

BUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES

Middle town area 

Ground-water supplies In Middletowni/ are obtained from glacial

deposits of sand and, gravel filling the valley of the Miami River.

_!/ F. H. Klaer, Jr. and D. G. Thompson, Ground-water resources of the 

Cincinnati area in Butler and Hamilton Counties, Ohio: U. S. Geol. Survey 

typewritten report. June 1941.

OHIO x 251

Throughout most of the city these deposits occur in two beds separated by 

a fairly continuous layer of boulder clay. The shallower beds, varying 

from 20 to 50 feet and averaging about 35 feet in thickness, are preferred 

for municipal supply and for some industrial processes such as paper 

making, because the iron content of the water obtained from them is generally lower than that obtained from the deeper beds. The shallow beds 

have been developed for water supply mainly in the northwest part of the 

city. Hydrographs for wells 29-1 and 25-5 located in this area are shown 

in figure 8 . The record for well 29-1 has been continuous since 1939. 

In each full year of record, with the exception of 1941, appreciable 

recharge has been received in the late winter and spring months of the 

year from direct precipitation and from flood waters of' the Miami River.< 

More or less continuous declines have occurred during most of the last 

half of each year of record. While the water-level records obtained from 

observation wells and gravel pits tapping the shallower beds in Middletown 

show no evidence of a continuous decline of water levels, considerable 

difficulty is experienced during periods of low ground-water levels because 

of the shallow depth of the aquifer. In 1944, water levels in the shallow 

beds generally were low during the first 3 months of the year following 

the extreme drought prevailing throughout the last half of 1943. Favorable 

precipitation in April resulted in appreciable rises in all of the observation wells in the Middletown area. These rises were not as great as in 

the early part of 1943*. Another drought, beginning in the summer months 

of 1944 and continuing through the end of the year, resulted in slightly 

lower water levels throughout most of the area at the end of the year than 

at the beginning of the year. The following table shows the water levels 

in several gravel pits and wells in Middletown at the beginning and end of 

1944 and the net changes in water levels in 1944.

It has been possible to obtain water-level measurements in only one 

well tapping the deeper formation in,the central part of Middletown, well 

29-2j used for supply purposes by the Young Men's Christian Association. 

The record beginning in October 1942 is too short to indicate a trend. 

Being a production well, changes in the water level are caused jnainly by 

changes in the rate, of pumping. The water level in this well was 2.95 ' 

feet lower at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year. The 

highest observed water level in 1944 was 37.67 feet below land-surface 

datum on May 2, and the lowest was 50.72 feet below land-surface datum, 

on November 28, the total range being 13.05 feet.

An average of about 9 million gallons of water a day was pumped for 

industrial purposes in southeast Middletown in 1944. The. water level in 

well 36-13 followed a more or less persistent downward trend from the 

beginning of record in August 1938 until June 1942. Some rises occurred 

during this period due to variations in the regional rate of pumping, but 

the water level was lower at the end of each year than at the beginning. ( 

Following this period a steady rise in water level occurred from July 1942 

until September 1943 when the water level again declined until July 1944. 

The lowest water level in 1944 was about 1 foot higher than the lowest 

water level in 1942. The water level then rose from July 1944 until the 

end of the year because of a reduction in pumping from 10 million gallons 

a day in July to 6.3 million gallons a day in December. At the end of 

1944 the water level was' 7.9 feet higher than at the beginning of the year.

Hamilton area

Ground-water supplies for municipal and industrial purposes are obtained In Hamilton from deposits of sand and gravel of glacial origin 

filling the valley of the Miami River. Bedrock depths of over 200 feet 

have been encountered in several wells drilled in the city.

Water-love! measurements were made in 15 observation wells in Hamilton 

during the year. Although appreciable rises in water levels occurred in 

the spring, they were considerably less than in 1943 and somewhat less 

than needed to balance the declines caused by pumping during the last half 

of the year. As a result, water levels were.lower at the end of the year 

than at the beginning of the year. The declines in water levels in observation wells in Hamilton in 1944 ranged from 0.21 foot to 2.02 feet and

The area at the junction of the Mill Creek and the Miami Valley 

Immediately south of Hamilton was developed for water supply by the

Federal Works Agency in 1943 to sfupply a large war industry at Lockland,

2/ in Hamilton County. A report describing the results of a study of this

area was released by the U. S. Geological Survey in July 1943. The report 

includes a description of £he hydrology and geology of the area, an 

estimate of safe yield, and several maps showing locations of observation 

wells, production wells, and the layout of the distributiofi system for the 

project.

In 1944 the pumpage from this area averaged 8.1 million gallons a day. 

Continuous water-level records were obtained from four observation wells 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders, and weekly measurements 

were made in 18 other observation wells arid gravel pits to check the effect 

of pumping. The hydrographs for observation well 133 and gravel pit E, 

chosen because they had been measured for several years before the beginning of pumping in the area, are shown in figure 9. The net changes 

in water levels in the observation wells at the end of the year, as compared with the beginning of the year, ranged from a rise of 0.45 foot to a 

decline of 6.17 feet. Levels in all wells except one declined, the average 

decline "being 2.0 feet.

The largest declines in water levels, as shown by the records for 

wells B-l, 133, and B-ll, occurred east of the junction between the Mill 

Creek and Miami Valleys where recharge facilities are poor because of a 

fairly continuous layer,of impermeable deposits overlying the main waterbearing formation. Declines in the three wells mentioned above averaged 

5.86 feet, compared to an average decline of 1.59 feet in the observation

» wells to the west, where 6.5 million gallons a day of the total of 8.1 

million gallons a day was pumped in 1944.

Mill Creek Valley

The area of heavy pumping in the Mill Creek Valley extends from the 

Glendale waterworks near Sharonville south to Ivorydale and St. Bernard 

at the Junction of the Mill Creek Valley and the Norwood trough. Pumpage 

from this part of the valley in each year since 1939 is estimated as 

follows:

The larger industrial users of ground-water and the municipally 

owned water-supply systems in the Mill Creek Valley furnish their pumpage 

records to the Geological Survey each month. The pumpage records obtained 

in this way cover about 70 percent of the total amount of water pumped. 

The estimate of the remainder is based on a survey made by Klaer and 

Thompson in 1940, and a survey made by the Ohio Water Resources Board 

early in 1945. The large increases in pumpage in 1942 and 1943 were due 

mainly to pumping by a new war plant operated by the Wright Aeronautical 

Corporation, immediately north of Lockland, and to an increase in-pumping 

by an industrial plant at Carthage. Construction of the Federal Works 

Agency well field near Hamilton to supply the Wright plant was completed 

in July 1943 and pumping was discontinued at the Wright plant-at that 

time. The reduced pumpage in the Mill Creek Valley in 1943 and 1944 as 

compared to pumpage in 1942 was due, in great part, to construction of the 

Federal .Vorks Agency well field. Additional reductions in pumping were 

made voluntarily by two other industries, one purchased water from the 

city of Cincinnati for about 5j months in the winter when the Cincinnati 

water was cold enough for industrial use.

The following table shows the net changes in water levels in 1944 in 

15 observation wells located in the heavily pumped portion of the Mill

Creek Valley in Hamilton County from Glendale south to Ivorydale:

since the beginning of record in 1941. However, a marked reduction in the 

rate of decline in the water level in each of these wells occurred at the 

beginning of 1944, probably be-cause of the shutdown of the wells at the 

tVright plant in July, 1943.

FRANKLIN COUNTY

Columbus 

Wells in Columbus obtain water from glacial deposits of, sand and

3/

gravel and from the Columbus and other limestones. A survey by the Ohio 

Water Resources Board shows that total ground-water withdrawals in Columbus 

amount to slightly over 32 million gallons a day. Most of this water is 

used by industries for cooling and processing. Unfortunately no records 

are available to indicate the trend of water-level fluctuations in the 

glacial deposits in Columbus.

Well Columbus 1, at the Spring Street garage of the Moores & Ross

Dairy, near the main business section of Columbus, is a limestone well

\

269 feet deep on which an automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained since April 1942. A hydrograph of the watex*-level record for this 

well is shown in figure 14 . Individual recorder charts from this well 

show daily fluctuations ranging from 0.5 to 1 foot or more in response to 

pumping in and near the main business section of Columbus. Large declines 

in water level have occurred each summer since the beginning of record, 

probably because of increased use of water for cooling purposes during the 

summer months. In 1P44 the water level in this well ranged from a high of 

105.54 feet below land surface on February 16 to a low of 121.53 below land 

surface on August 16, a total range of 15.99 feet. However, a large 

recovery took place in the fall and winter months of the year. The water 

level at the end of 1C44 was 0.55 foot higher than at the beginning of the 

year. ,

MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Dayton

Ground-water supplies in Dayton are obtained mainly from alluvial 

deposits of sand and gravel filling the preglacial valleys now occupied 

by the Mad and Miami Rivers. The bes,t water-bearing materials are generally encountered at depths of 70 to 130 feet below the land surface, 

although rock is known to be 200 feet or more below the surface in some

!/

places. According to a survey made by the Ohio Water Resources Board,

total ground-water witiadrawals j.n the Dayton area in 1944 amounted to 

approximately 77.8 million gallons a day. Of this amount, 35.1 million 

gallons a day was pumped by the Dayton Water Department and about 42.7 

million gallons a day was pumped by industries and commercial establishments.

An automatic water-stage- recorder has been maintained since May 27,¥ 

1942, on well Dayton 2, an abandoned well at the Dayton Power & Light Co. 

steam distribution plant at 118 East Fourth Street. This well is located 

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

caused by natural recharge and variations in pumping from production wells 

in the area. The record obtained from this well is shown graphically in 

figure 12 . The lowest observed water level in this well since the 

beginning of record in May 1942 was 30.25 feet below land surface, on 

August 16/1944, and the highest was 20.97 feet, on March 25, 1943, the 

total range being 9.28 feet. In each year of record high water levels 

have occurred in the spring months and low water levels have occurred in 

the late summer, fall, and winter months. The record indicates a downward 

trend as shown by the water-level measurements given in the following 

table:

The municipal water-supply for the city of Dayton is obtained mainly 

from wells on Rohrer's Island in the valley of the Mad River. Artificial 

recharge is accomplished by diverting water from the Mad River through 

channels into dredged areas on the island. An automatic water-etage 

recorder has been maintained on a well in this area, designated as Dayton 

1, since March 6, 1942. The effectiveness of the recharge operations is 

clearxly indicated by large rises in water level in the observation well 

whenever the gates are opened to admit flow from the ttad River into the 

dredged areas.

MUSKINOUM COUNT?

Zanesville

The municipal water supply for the city of Zanesville is obtained 

from wells in the alluvium of the Muskingum River, a short distance north
OHIO 263

/

\ \

of the city. Ground-water recharge is derived from direct precipitation 

in the area, from Hood waters of the Muskingum River, and possibly from 

infiltration from the river induced by pumping. An automatic water-stage 

recorder has been maintained on an observation well in the city well field 

since May 21, 1942. The water-level record obtained is shown graphically 

in figure 14 . The highest water level observed in this well since the 

beginning of record was 16.92 £eet below land surface, on June 5, 1943. 

This value ddes not appear on the graph because only the low values for 

each week of record are plotted. The lowest water level for the period of 

record was 31.05 feet below land surface, on December 31, 1944.- Thus, the

total range of fluctuation has been 14.13 feet.

* 

The record indicates that ground-water recharge was considerably less

in 1944 than in 1943, when rises in water level occurred frequently 

throughout most of the year. She only appreciable rise recorded in the 

observation well iii 1944 occurred between March 4 and May 9, and amounted 

to 4.7 feet. The water level declined throughout most of the remainder of 

the year, and at the end of the year it was 6.78 feet lower than at the 

beginning of the year.

HIGHLAND COUNTY 

Mansfield

An automatic water-stage recorder has been operated on an unused well,

{ 

129 feet deep, at the old North Main Street pumping station of the

Mansfield water department since May 5, 1942. It is Relieved that this 

well ends in gravel. ,

Fluctuations of water level in this well are caused almost entirely 

by changes in the rate of pumping of industrial wells in the area. During 

1944 the daily fluctuations generally ranged from slightly less than 1 

foot to slightly more than 1 foot, the drawdown occurring between 6:00 a.m. 

and 6:00 p.m. The weekly trend was usually downward from Monday to 

Saturday of each week, with substantial recoveries occurring each week 

end. Weekly fluctuations ranged from 2 to 3 feet, except when periods of 

shutdown of production wells in the area were longer than normal. The 

water level in the well at the old North Main Street pumping station 

ranged from about 36.5 to 41.0 feet below the land surface until the 

July 4 holiday period, when a recovery of slightly more than 11 feet
264 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

occurred. Prom July 4 until the.end of August a downward trenS occurred, 

indicating that the regional rate of pumping had increased. From the end 

of August until the end of the year the water level followed a more or 

less even trend except for the usual daily and weekly fluctuations, an 

indication that, although the rate of pumping in the area had increased, 

the safe yield of the water-bearing formation had not been exceeded. 

During the last half of the year the water level averaged about 48 feet 

below the land surface, while during the first half it averaged about 

39 feet.

STARK COUNTY

5/, Canton

A survey made by the Ohio Water Resources Board indicates that on

the average about 38 million gallons of ground water was pumped in and 

near Canton each day in 1944. Of this amount, about 24 million gallons a 

day was pumped by 53 industrial and commercial establishments and 14 

million gallons a day was pumped by the city water department from wells 

in the Northeast, Ninth Street, and Grovemiller well fields. About 31 

million gallons a day was obtained fron deposits of sand and gravel of 

glacial origin and about 7 million gallons a day from bedrock formations.

In 1944 water-level measurements were obtained in lo observation 

wells in the city of Canton and in Plain and Perry Townships. Publication 

of re'cords obtained from wells 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11, production wells of 

the Northeast well field, has been discontinued. It is believed that the 

record obtained in well 13, an unused test well, is fairly representative 

of conditions in the Northeast well field. Automatic water-stage recorders were installed on 4 observation wells in and near Canton in 1944, 

wells 12, 13, 14A, and the Boron well (Canton test well 50). 'rfater-level 

records were obtained fror eight of the observation wells in the area by 

the 'Canton water department through the courtesy of Mr. A. E. Ransom, 

Superintendent. The water-level measurements in well 20 (Republic Steel 

Co.) were made by E. V. Beftoulides and in well 21A (Ohio Power Co.) by 

C. R. Phillips, both under the direction of the Geological Survey.

266 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Natural changes In ground-water levels in the Canton area in JL944, 

as compared with other ye.ars, are best shown by the record for well 12 

(Goughnour well) in figure 15 . This well in the valley of the Middle 

Branch of Nimishillen Creek, about 1^- mires northeast of the Northeast 

well field. The record shows that recharge in the Canton area in 1944

occurred almost entirely between about February 14 and April 24. The

x 

water-level rise during the period was 3.75 feet, which was considerably

less than in 1942 or 1P43. Rises in the first halves of those years

\ 

amounted to 6.0 feet and 8.0 feet, respectively. In the calendar year

1944 the net decline in the Goughnour well amounted to 1.17 feet.

The water-level record obtained since January 1941 is well 13, in 

the Northeast well field of the Canton water department, located along 

Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek, at Trump, is shown in figure 17 . Fluctuations in water levels are caused mainly by changes in the rate of

pumping from wells in the Northeast well field. It should be noted that

i 

the Canton water department has attempted to maintain an approximately

constant water level in this field since 1942. As a result, more water 

is usually pumped in the first half of each year than in the last1 half, 

and the total amount of water pumped in each year is dependent upon the 

amount of recharge received. The pumpage record in figure 17 shows that 

the greatest amount of pumpage occurred in 1943 when recharge, as shown 

by the record for well 12 (Goughnour well),, was greatest. The,water-level 

record for well 13 shows clearly that pumpage from wells 1 in the Northeast 

well field since 1941 haa been within the safe yield of the area. The 

average pumpage from the field in that period has amounted to 7.5 million 

gallons a day. In 1944 the average pumpage amounted to 6.7 million 

gallons a day.

Net declines in ground-water levels have occurred in the central 

section of Canton in each year since 1939, except in 1943. This is shown 

by the records of water-level measurements obtained in observation wells 

20 and 21A, (see fig. 16 ). The net decline in well 20, from the beginning of record on January 16, 1939, to the end of 1944, amounted to 26.88 

feeb. The net decline in well 21A (Ohio Power Co.) from the beginning of 

record on Oct. 30, 1935, to the end of 1944, amounted to 24.51.feet. The 

net declines in wells 20 and 21A in 1944 amoxmted to 3.92 and 6.59 feet,

Water-level measurements have been made since April 10, 1944, la 

three test wells in the Grovemiller well field of the Canton water department, located along Tusearawas Avenue about 3 miles west of the central 

part of the city. Pumpage from this field in 1944 amounted to an average 

of 5.1 million gallons a day.
OHIO 269

Maasillon

An automatic water-stage recorder has been operated since June 1942 

on an unused well in the basement of the main office building of the 

Republic Steel Corporation, which is on the north side of Oberlin Ave., 

about 0.1 mile west of the Tuscarawas River, in the southern part of the 

city. The record obtained from the water-stage recorder indicates that 

the water level in this well is apparently unaffected by the pumping of 

any individual well, although it is probably affected by the regional

pumping in the area.

\

The water-level record obtained in the Massillon observation well in 

1944 indicates that recharge in the area was considerably less than In 

1943, the net rises in water level in 1944-Amounting to only 1 foot as 

compared to 3.6 feet in 1943. The water level at the end of 1944 was 

4.76 feet lower than at the beginning of the year.

Marietta, since May 1942. This well is 42 feet deep and ends In gravel.

Although the water level in this well ia affected slightly by pumping of

\ 

an air-conditioning well at a nearby theater, the principal fluctuations

seem to be caused by recharge from precipitation and flood waters from the 

Muskingum River. The longest period o,f recharge in the area during 1944 

occurred between February 23 and April 17 when there was a net rise in 

the well of 5.5 feet. Prom April 17 to August 15 the water level declined 

5.9 feet, and then it followed a level trend until December 27. A rise 

of 1.1 feet occurred between December 27 and December 31. In each year 

of record the water level in this well has receded to about 31 feet below 

the ground In dry periods. Although the elevation of the water surface in 

the Marietta well has not been determined by instrumental leveling, It 

seems probable that, at a d£pth of 31 feet below the surface, the water 

level has reached the' level of the Muskingum River. The minor fluctuations occurring at such times are probably in response to changes in the 

stage of the river. ' . .

Gallla County

For records o'f a well near Addison, see the seption on West Virginia 

in Water-Supply Paper 987, under Mason County. As the ground-water conditions iri this area in Ohio are similar to those in the heavily pumped 

area directly across the Ohio River, in West Virginia, the record of fluctuations of water level in'the Addison well may aid in the interpretation 

of ground-water conditions in the West Virginia area on the opposite side 

of the river.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Pennsylvania, begun In 1931, was continued in 1944 in cooperation with 

the Topographic and Geologic Survey of the Pennsylvania Department of 

Internal Affairs. A detailed study of ground-water conditions in the 

Philadelphia area, begun in 1943, was continued. Work in Philadelphia 

was centered chiefly in the Philadelphia Navy Yard area. In December 1944 

a report concerning water levels in the Navy Yard well field was submitted to the Navy Department through the engineering firm charged with 

the study of water-supply conditions in the Navy Yard.

About 4,000 measurements of water level, distributed among 44 wells, 

were made in the State during 1944. Measurements in 5 of the wells were 

made monthly, weekly in 24 wells, daily in 10 wells, and irregularly in 

4 wells. Six automatic water-stage recorders were in use by the end of 

1944, three of them in the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Weekly measurements of 14 observation wells situated in the Susquehanna River Basin were made available to the Pennsylvania Water and Power 

Company at Baltimore, Maryland* These measurements are used regularly by 

this concern as a means of predicting minimum stream flow of the Susquehanna River at their hydroelectric plants.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Precipitation is the predominant factor determining the fluctuations 

of water level in observation wells in Pennsylvania. Pumpage may affect 

Luzerne County well 75. near Wapwallopen, and Perry County well 61, at 

Newport, Pumpage undoubtedly affects the wells in and near the Philadelphia Navy Yard. By the end of 1944, water levels in wells kept in operatxon in the tfavy Yard were lowered slightly as compared to water levels at 

the end of 1943. HoWever, measurements of observation wells bordering th'e 

Navy Yard well field did not indicate a decline in water levels as compared 

to the previous year.

PENNSYLVANIA 321

Figure 18 shows the fluctuations of the weekly average water levels 

in 1944 in all the observation wells in Pennsylvania exclusive of those in 

Philadelphia, and the highest and lowest weekly averages prior to 1944. 

The figure also shows the monthly average precipitation in 1944 and the 

normal precipitation based on records over a period of 57 years.

In the following table, the 12-year weekly average (1932-43) of water 

levels in observation wells in Pennsylvania is shown with the average of 

the water levels in observation wells for each week in 1944. The average 

for each week in 1944 is based on records of from 17 to 24 wells. This 

number does not include any of the wells in Philadelphia.

In January 1944 the weekly average water levels were lower than the 

12-year weekly averages for January. During the last week in February, 

the average water level reached the lowest level recorded for that week 

during the period of record. The lower average water levels for the months 

of January and February 1944 resul-ted from deficient precipitation at the 

end of 1943 and'for the months of January and February 1944. Precipitation 

for the months of March, April, May, and June was considerably above 

normal in,Pennsylvania and weekly average water levels rose correspondingly.

During the second' week of May, average water levels were the highest 

recorded for the period of record. Below-normal precipitation during the 

'months of July and August caused the average water levels to fall below the. 

12-year average where they remained until the last week of 1944. For two 

successive weeks In November, average water levels were lower than previously recorded.

During December, precipitation In excess of the 57-year average 

caused the average water levels to rise to a stage neefrly equal to the 

12-year average for the last week of December.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Periodic measurements of water level were continued in Vermont in 1944 

on a monthly basis in one shallow observation well in the town of Middlesex, 

Washington County, near Wrightsville, which is about 3 miles north of, Montpelier. Twelve measurements were made during the year.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The water level in the well at Wrightsville appears to fluctuate with 

the precipitation. In 1943 the net rise in water-level was about 1.3 feet 

with 37.50 inches of precipitation as measured at nearby Northfield. In 

1944 there was a net drop in water level of about 1.1 feet (the water level 

on January I, 1945, was 9.32 feet below land-surface datum) with 35.39 

Inches of precipitation. Normal precipitation'at Northfield is 33.84 

inches.

The .-sharp rise in March is partly due to melting snow, as precipitation 

was below normal at nearby Northfield. Deficient precipitation, abnormally 

high temperatures and the demand for water by growing plants are the causes 

of the sharp drop In May. Although there was heavy rain in.July, the water 

level fell, probably due to vegetation needs. No real recovery of the

water-table, was observed until after the end of the growing season.
