WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1953

Part 1. NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

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

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

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

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

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

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

Papers from 1940 through 1953.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, NORTHEASTERN STATES

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

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

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

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

by the United States Weather Bureau.

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Connecticut was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Water Commission. The program includes areal surveys of ground-water conditions and 

the maintenance of a statewide network of observation wells to provide data on changes in storage 

of principal ground-water reservoirs. The plan of study for the areal surveys consists of a 

reconnaissance of the entire State to be followed by more intensive work in areas of particular 

need or interest. As the reconnaissance investigations are extended to new areas, the observation-well program is expanded to include the areas of interest. Measurements were made in 

33 wells in 1953. The location of observation wells in Connecticut is shown on figures 2 and 3. An 

investigation of ground-water conditions in the Farmington River lowland in Connecticut was 

begun in the summer of 1953. A report discussing ground-water conditions in Haddam Township 

was prepared for open-file release during the year at the request of the State Water Commission.

Precipitation

The statewide average of annual precipitation in 1953 was 54. 04 inches or about 3. 67 inches 

more than in 1952 and 8. 44 inches above normal. The total for the year ranged from 68. 39 inches 

at Wolcott Reservoir in west-central Connecticut to 44. 35 inches at Bridgeport in southwestern 

Connecticut. Above-normal precipitation was recorded during January, March, April, May, 

July, October, and December. Months with precipitation ,,-xcess of 1 inch or more were January, 

March, April, October, and December. March was the wettest month in 1953 and the wettest 

March on record at many statioris,the average monthly precipitation of 10.14 inches for the State 

being 6. 02 inches above normal. A prolonged drought period occurred during August and September, with an accumulated rainfall deficiency of 4 inches over the State. Conditions were most 

favorable for replenishment to ground water in the State as a whole during January through May 

and November through December. The above-normal precipitation in July did not result in 

appreciable net recharge to the water table because evapotranspiration losses at this season are 

at or near the peak for the year.

Interpretation of Water-Lev el Fluctuations

Water levels in Connecticut, when not affected by pumping, follow cyclical seasonal trends 

in response to natural recharge and discharge. The usual yearly trend of water levels consists 

of a rise during the nongrowing season when usage by vegetation and losses by evaporation are 

at a minimum. The rising trend usually extends for a short time into the growing season. Peak 

levels are generally reached in April or May but occasionally are reached as late as June or early 

July. After the growing season starts, evaporation and transpiration rates are higher and less 

water is available for recharge to ground water. Natural discharge to surface-water bodies from 

springs and seeps continues,and as a result ground-water levels decline steadily until recharge 

from precipitation is again greater than discharge. Minimum levels are usually reached in 

November. Over half the observation wells in Connecticut are in stratified sand and gravel of 

glacial origin. The remaining wells penetrate glacial till with the exception of well Wil 1, in 

Willimantic, which penetrates bedrock. The water levels in wells penetrating till in Connecticut 

normally show greater ranges in fluctuation from season to season than do water levels in wells 

in stratified drift or bedrock. This condition is in part a function of the specific yield of the 

water-bearing formations and of the topographic location of the observation wells, as wells on 

the upper slopes of drainage basins are commonly in till. The difference in the fluctuation range 

is seen by comparing the hydrograph of water levels at wells shown on figure 4. Well PI 1 at 

Plainfield and the wells in the residential area of New Haven penetrate stratified sand and gravel, 

whereas well Wb 176 at Waterbury penetrates till.

Owing to excessive annual precipitation, the storage of water in underground reservoirs in 

Connecticut was increased in 1953. The year was marked by the establishment of record maximum and minimum ground-water levels within the 6-month period from April to October. Following a rather unusual pattern of precipitation from abnormally wet to drought conditions, water 

levels rose to record high stages by the end of the spring season and then declined rapidly to 

record low levels at the end of the summer. Never before have such marked changes in level

been recorded in so short a period. The year commenced with ground-water levels below normal in Connecticut. Unusually heavy precipitation during the first 5 months, together with abnormally high temperature, caused ground-water levels to rise at greater-than-normal rates. 

By the end of March the levels in most observation wells were record high for the season and in 

20 wells were at the highest levels ever recorded. This favorable condition persisted to the end 

of May. June saw an abrupt change in the precipitation pattern to hot and dry conditions which 

gradually increased in intensity through the summer, finally reaching drought proportions by late 

September. Thus, as ground-water recharge was reduced to a minimum, water levels declined 

sharply. By the end of August water levels were both below normal and below the levels of a 

year ago; and by the end of October they were at record or near-record lows for the season at 

many wells. They reached record low levels at 3 wells. Then the dry spell was broken by 

heavy rains during the last week of October but before that time many rural well and spring 

supplies had failed. Subsequently, ground-water levels rose in most wells at greater-thannormal rates during November owing to heavy storms which produced near-normal monthly rainfall, but at the beginning of December the stages were still below normal and below the levels of 

a year ago. Above-normal precipitation in December brought about a continuation of the rise in 

water level in nearly all observation wells in Connecticut. The average rise was several times 

the normal expected and resulted in December-end water levels that were above normal and 

considerably above the stages at the end of 1952. Thus, the precipitation of the last 2 months 

more than offset the effects of the prolonged summer drought, and the year ended with an overall 

increase in the storage of water in ground-water reservoirs. The hydrograph of water-level 

fluctuations at well PI 1 at Plainfield, shown on figure 4, is representative of the general trend 

in Connecticut in 1953. The fluctuations of water levels in wells Bu 2 near Burlington and Wy 1 

at Woodbury were exceptions to the average conditions. Although the trend in stage at both these 

wells closely paralleled the statewide average for most of the year, the December rise in water 

level was less than average. Therefore, year-end water levels at both wells were below normal 

and substantially below the levels of a year ago.

In New Haven, water levels in observation wells in the downtown area are affected by 

pumping of nearby wells. The pumping is from a glacial sand formation and averages close to 

4 million gallons a day. The major fluctuations of the water table are therefore the result of 

changes in the rate and distribution of pumping as well as the variations in the amount of precipitation. The changes in withdrawal brought about significant differences in the pattern of 

water-level fluctuations from the general statewide trend. The levels in observation wells in 

areas affected by pumping for air-conditioning and cold storage purposes (wells NHn 108, NHnllO, 

and NHn 250) reached minimum stages earlier than most wells responding only to natural conditions. The cessation of pumping for the above purposes with the advent of cooler weather 

caused water levels to rise throughout the latter part of the year. A decrease in the amount of 

pumpage by cold storage plants has occasioned a significant overall rise in the levels at wells 

NHn 108 and NHn 110 and year-end levels at these wells were considerably above normal and 

above the levels of a year ago. It is of interest that most water levels in the manufacturing 

section of New Haven (wells NHn 131, NHn 138, NHn 178, and NHn 235) reached a peak high stage 

in May, to be followed in July by a second peak which resulted from a decrease in withdrawal of 

ground water during the normal July vacation period at several large industrial plants.

Well-Numbering System

A letter or combination of letters precedes the well number to designate the township. 

For example, well Bt 1 is in the town of Bethel and was the first well inventoried in that township.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference. Water levels in the city of New Haven are referred to 

mean sea level.

DELAWARE

By D. H. Boggess and O. J. Coskery

Scope of Water-Level Program

Investigation of the ground-water resources of the State in cooperation with the Delaware 

Geological Survey was continued through 1953. From 1943 to 1950, the U. S. Geological Survey cooperated with the towns of Lewes and Rehoboth. The initial purpose of this investigation 

was to study the encroachment of salt water into the fresh-water aquifers of that area, but after 

development of the new well field inland, the program was confined to determining fluctuations 

in the water surface. In December 1949, the State of Delaware, through the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Delaware and the Highway Department, cooperated for the purpose of making a preliminary study of the ground-water resources within the State. In July 1951, 

the Delaware Geological Survey became the cooperating State agency and has continued in that 

capacity through 1953.

During 1953, water-level measurements were made in 22 wells. Recording gages were 

maintained on 4 wells in municipal well fields at New Castle, Newark, and Lewes. A recording 

gage was maintained at the Governor Bacon Health Center in Delaware City. Figure 5 shows 

the location of observation wells in Delaware.

A report entitled, "Ground-water problems in highway construction and maintenance, " 

by William C. Rasmussen and Leon B. Haigler, was published by the Delaware Geological Survey as Bulletin No. 1. This report describes the high water table which must be drained in many 

areas of central and southern Delaware in order to bring boggy lands into use, and discusses the 

problems of quicksand, subdrainage, and soil creep in relation to the water table and highways. 

A memorandum on aquifer-rating tests at Newark, Delaware, by William C. Rasmussen 

was released to the open file in January 1953.

Precipitation

The year of 1953 was one of above-normal precipitation in Delaware, with a total of 48.13 

inches, which was 4.03 inches above average for 11 stations in the State. However, the distribution of precipitation through the year was so poor as to cause a serious drought for many areas 

during most of the growing season. June marked the beginning of the period of dry weather, when 

precipitation was more than an inch below normal in that month. The dry spell continued with 

rainfall more than an inch below normal in July. In August precipitation was almost 2 inches 

above normal, but this was due to heavy rains associated with a hurricane on August 14. The 

intensity of rainfall was dissipated in high runoff, with consequent inadequate infiltration, and 

complete relief from the drought was not achieved. The precipitation in September was more 

than an inch below normal, continuing the drought distress. Above-normal precipitation in 

October ended the drought, but the rains came too late to affect the crops, although they did tend 

to restore water levels.

Pumpage

The average daily pumpage from the municipal well field at New Castle was 517,700 gallons 

per day during 1953. The average daily pumpage from the Newark well field was 747, 550 gallons 

per day, which was augmented by an average of 39,290 gallons a day from a private water company using a surface-water source. An additional 9, 880, 000 gallons was withdrawn from the 

Newark aquifer from June through September, when the canning company was in operation. 

Pumpage from the new well field at Lewes averaged 339, 300 gallons per day during 1953. The 

average daily pumpage at the Governor Bacon Health Center was 88,800 gallons per day.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

During 1953 the average water level of 13 water-table wells throughout the State fluctuated 

in response to recharge by ground-soaking precipitation, and to drought, through the withdrawal 

of water by plants. As indicated in figure 6, the ground-water reservoirs received an excess 

of recharge over discharge from January 1 to the end of March, at which time the highest water 

level of the year was recorded at an average of 5. 46 feet below land surface. A long depletion

cycle began in early April and reached a low point at the end of September when the average water level was 7. 84 feet below land surface. This decline of water level was interrupted to a 

small degree by intense rains accompanying the hurricane in mid-August, reflected in an average 

residual rise of 0.12 foot in the water table at month-end. The decline in the water level was 

caused principally by transpiration of plants, the roots of which reach the water table in many 

parts of the State. It was augmented by evaporation from streams and boggy meadows. Evaporation gradually increased from April to a maximum in July, and then diminished to a low rate 

in October. Return to normal precipitation in October, November, and December, with cessation of evapotranspiration permitted water levels to recover at that time. The average water 

level for the year was 6. 73 feet below land surface, which was 0. 44 foot lower than the average 

for 1952. No annual trend of the average water levels has yet been observed.

Water levels in the vicinity of well fields pumped at moderate to large rates at Delaware 

City, Newark, New Castle, and Lewes showed drawdown in response to pumping and recovery as 

pumping lessened. At Delaware City, observation well EC 11 at the Governor Bacon Health Center showed a declining trend of about 4 feet below the end of 1952, in response to increased use. 

At Newark, the increasing population made increased demands for water, and observation well 

Ca 3 in the city well field recorded water levels almost as low as any observed in the period of 

record. Cb 123 at the University Farm, on the outer rim of this cone of depression, was 

similarly affected. At New Castle, on the contrary, production from a new well to a deeper 

sand permitted a marked decrease in draft from the shallow wells and collection galleries, so 

that at the end of April water levels in Cd 2 recovered about 9 feet to a record high, and seepage 

occurred in the foundation of the filtration plant. Pumpage from the shallow aquifer is now 

sustained at a rate required to keep the basement and grounds of the plant dry. Water levels in 

well Ni 3 at Lewes showed slight rises over corresponding months of preceding years, in response to a slightly diminished rate of pumping from the city well field. Well Qc 4 was installed 

to determine if drains for a roadway near Laurel were effective in reducing the moisture. In 

late March 1953, the water level rose to within 0.5 foot of the land surface, close to the edge of 

the road.

Recording gage charts were voluntarily changed weekly by Oliver Henderson at New Castle; 

Mrs. Thalia Fisher at Lewes; and Carl Jorgenson at the Governor Bacon Health Center.

Well- Numbering System

The State of Delaware is divided into 5-minute quadrangles of latitude and longitude as 

shown in figure 5. To designate the wells, the quadrangles are lettered north to south with 

uppercase letters and west to east with lowercase letters. A quadrangle is indicated by two 

letters with the uppercase letter being given first. Within the quadrangles the wells are numbered 

in the order they were scheduled.

By Porter E. Ward

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Indiana was begun in 1935 and has continued since that 

time. This program is carried on in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Conservation, 

Division of Water Resources as part of a study of the water resources of the State. At the end 

of 1953, measurements were being received from a statewide network of 147 observation wells. 

Continuous records of water levels were obtained at 33 wells equipped with recording gages. All 

other measurements were made manually; one on a daily basis; two bimonthly; one monthly; and 

the remainder weekly. The data are used to study frequency and magnitude of water-level changes 

in response to variations in recharge, storage, and discharge in ground-water reservoirs. A 

special study of the water resources of the Indianapolis area, and separate investigations of the 

grounc'-water resources of nine county areas in southeast and west-central Indiana, and in Adams 

and Tippecanoe Counties, were conducted in 1953. As in 1952, only the data of the 32 key wells, 

representative of ground-water level trends in the State, are included in this report. Conclusions 

are based upon data collected from the entire network of observation wells. Figure 7 shows 

the location of the observation wells in Indiana included in this report.

Precipitation and Temperature

The year 1953 was characterized by mild and very dry weather. The accumulated departure 

of precipitation in inches from normal in the northern division of the State was -6. 47; in the central division -5. 72; and in the southern division -12. 32. The accumulated departure from normal for the State was -8. 06 inches for 1953. During the last half of 1952 a deficiency of precipitation at the beginning of the recharge period left water levels relatively low at the end of the 

year 1952. Below-normal water levels persisted throughout 1953. Recharge at the beginning of 

the year was less than that for the same period in 1952 and precipitation was below normal for 

9 out of the 12 months of the year.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In general, water levels over the entire State continued on a downward trend. This trend 

has been in progress since about 1950. The low levels observed during 1941 and 1944 were 

approached and even exceeded at some localities. Seasonal recoveries that occur during the last 

third of the year lagged during 1952 and water-level declines did not reverse until the early part 

of 1953. At the close of 1953 the observed lag in recharge was even more pronounced than in 

1952 and again declining water levels in many wells had not been reversed. As a consequence of 

the widespread deficiency of precipitation, recharge was lagging in time and magnitude over practically the entire State. In the northern division of the State, water levels in about one half of the 

wells having depths of 50 feet or less showed no reversal of the downward trend by the end of the 

year; gravel wells 50 to 100 feet recorded little or no recovery, while the water levels in wells 

greater than 100 feet reversed and were recovering at the close of 1953. In the central division, 

water levels in many wells at the end of the year were showing recoveries, with the exception of 

shallow dug wells. Water levels in the downtown Indianapolis area are still on a downward trend, 

but are above average as compared with lower levels recorded since 1935. In Indianapolis water 

levels remained about average throughout the year, a condition that reflects a reduction in total 

pumpage that has taken place in the downtown area. Figure 8 is a graph of water levels of two 

wells that show these conditions. Water levels in some dug wells and a few rock wells in the 

southern division were showing recoveries at the end of the year. Water levels in key wells were 

more than 4 feet below average as computed for the period of record. Collectively, some recharge was recorded in more than half of the observation wells by the end of the year; the 

shallower wells, especially the dug ones, showing the least amount of recharge. With few 

exceptions, water levels in observation wells throughout the State were below average. In 

1953, water levels in 58 of the 147 active wells reached new lows for the period of record. 

Figure 9 graphically shows the fluctuations of water level in three representative shallow wells 

in the State. These wells are completed in unconsolidated materials and are unaffected by pumping. Well Steuben 1 is in the northern division; Montgomery 1 in the central division; and Clark 1 

in the southern division.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells are designated by a letter symbol corresponding to the county name in 

which the well is situated, followed by a number for successive wells. For example, Ma 10 is 

observation well 10 in Marion County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference.

MAINE

By Walter MacDonald, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued In 1953. Five wells were measured weekly 

throughout the year. Wells Ar 1 and Ar 2 are in the northern part, H 1 and Sm 1 in the central, 

and Y 1 in the southern part of the State. Figure 10 shows the location of the wells.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the State as a whole during 1953 was 48. 32 inches, which was 7. 97 inches 

above normal and 10.15 inches more than in 1952. Precipitation was heavy in the first 4 months 

of the year and very heavy in the last 3 months. Precipitation during the rest of the year with the 

exception of the very dry months of June and September was about normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations in Maine reflected the extremes of precipitation that were experienced during 1953. The water levels rose abruptly in most of the State in January as unseasonably warm weather caused premature melting of the snow cover. Lower temperatures caused 

a general slight decline in February, although precipitation was above normal. Extremely heavy 

precipitation in March caused new rises to near-record levels which declined in accordance with 

the normal seasonal pattern through May, although still above average. Levels declined during 

the summer months and then rose in October as the result of above-normal rainfall and the 

termination of the growing season. During November the levels rose gradually and then receded 

during December. At the end of the year, water levels were above normal and there was a net 

gain in ground-water storage for the year.

Well-Numbering System

Wells In Maine are numbered on a county basis in the numerical order In which they are 

inventoried.

MASSACHUSETTS

ByH. N. Halberg

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Massachusetts, begun in 1938, was continued in 1953 in 

cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. Measurements were made in 

41 wells, including those equipped with recording gages at Leominster and Winchendon. 

Measurements were made in 30 wells in Middlesex County, in the vicinity of Lowell, in the 

Aberjona Valley and in the vicinity of Fresh Pond, Cambridge; 2 wells in Barnstable County, 

3 wells in Berkshire and Worcester Counties, and 1 well each in Bristol, Franklin, andHampden 

Counties. Figure 11 shows location of observation wells in Massachusetts.

Precipitation

According to records of the U. S. Weather Bureau, precipitation for the State as a whole 

was 53. 48 inches, 10.42 inches above normal, and 11. 90 inches more than in 1952. Precipitation 

was above normal from January through May and was heaviest in March with 8.27 inches during 

the month. It was far below normal from June through September except in July when it was only 

slightly below normal. The driest month of the year was June with 1. 59 inches. Precipitation 

was above normal beginning in October for the rest of the year. Precipitation at Boston was 

57. 73 inches (18. 97 inches above normal); at Fitchburg it was 52.77 inches (10.74 inches above 

normal); and at Stockbridge it was 47. 85 inches (4.11 inches above normal). The greatest 

monthly amount reported for any station was 11. 00 inches at Boston in March; the least was 

0. 08 inch at Hyannis in June.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

At the beginning of 1953, water levels were below average in northeastern, north-central, 

and western Massachusetts and above average elsewhere in the State. Water levels rose appreciably throughout the State from January through March in response to thaws and heavy precipitation in January and very heavy precipitation in March. During the winter and spring, water 

levels were high for this time of year and in March were at exceptionally high stages in places. 

In April water levels began to decline seasonally with the advent of the growing season and the 

increase in evaporation and transpiration, but remained well above average during May. The 

decline continued throughout the summer and into October, when the lowest stages of the year 

were reached. With above-normal precipitation during the rest of the year, water levels rose 

sharply. In some wells the heavy rain near the end of October was not reflected in the water 

levels until later in the year. Stages at the end of the year were above average and higher than 

at the beginning of the year so that there was a net gain in ground-water storage throughout the 

State during the year. During the year 9 wells reached new maximum stages and 9 reached new 

minimum stages.

The following table shows the net change in water levels in wells in which readings were 

made throughout the year. There were net rises during the year in all but 4 wells.

We 11-Numbe r ing System

Wells in Massachusetts are numbered by the city or town in which they are situated. The 

first well in a city or town for which data are collected is number one (Woburn 1). The only 

geographical significance to the well number is that the well is in the municipality named.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference.

MICHIGAN

By P. R. Giroux, W. T. Stuart, and J. G. Rulison

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Michigan was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Water Resources Commission and the Geological Survey Division of the State Department of 

Conservation. A network of observation wells was maintained to provide basic data on changes 

in storage of principal ground-water reservoirs. At the beginning of the year, measurements of 

ground-water level were being made in about 287 observation wells, of which 41 were equipped 

with recording gages, including 2 gages installed in the Northern Peninsula in mid-1952. By the 

end of the year, 25 recording gages had been removed from operation in the Southern Peninsula, 

and the frequency of measurements had been reduced on many observation wells. Records of 155 

of the 287 wells measured are published herein. The data included in this report were selected 

for publication on the basis of best representation in terms of areal coverage, usefulness, and 

length of record. Water-level records omitted will be published in project or special reports 

from time to time. Figure 12 shows the location of the wells for which records are published in 

this report.

Observations of ground-water temperature were continued during 1953. In addition, many 

samples of ground and surface water were collected for chemical analysis by the U. S. Geological 

Survey and by the State Department of Health to determine the distribution and trends in water 

quality and to study correlation between ground and surface waters.

Precipitation

Average precipitation over the State totaled 29. 83 inches in 1953, or 0. 86 inch below normal. 

Precipitation in the western part of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan was 4 inches above normal. 

Deficiencies of precipitation were recorded in the central and western parts of the Southern 

Peninsula. Locally, in the southwestern part of the Southern Peninsula,precipitation was as much 

as 14 inches below normal. For the second consecutive year precipitation was below normal 

during the fall months in most areas of the State.

Pumpage

Records of ground-water withdrawal by municipalities are discussed under the appropriate 

county headings. Generally, ground-water withdrawals by municipal and privately owned wells 

increased in response to greater water demand by industry, uptrend in population, increased cooling water demand because of above-average temperatures in the summer months, and wider use 

of water-consuming appliances and air-conditioning equipment. The mean air temperature of 

47.3°F. for the year was the third highest since 1888. Increased use of water during several 

prolonged heat waves made it necessary for some communities to curtail the use of water in 

order to maintain adequate pressures with existing water-supply installations. Shortages reported 

were largely the result of inadequate pumping facilities, wells, or storage capacity, rather than 

ground-water scarcity.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Ground-water levels throughout the State ranged from record and near-record highs in the 

west half of the Northern Peninsula during the July through October period to record and nearrecord lows during the same period in the south-central and southwest sections of the Southern 

Peninsula. In this connection, however, note that records for many of the wells reported herein 

are of less than 10 years' duration. The interval 1950-52 marked 3 years of above-average precipitation and represents an appreciable part of the 10-year sampling period. Thus, averages 

for this decade are probably appreciably above long-term normals. In comparison with the 

extremes of water level noted elsewhere in the State, water levels in wells in the northern half 

of the Southern Peninsula and in the Thumb area fluctuated only slightly above or below average 

stages during the year.

Southern Peninsula

Northern Half

Well CrGr 6, near Grayling is used as an index of the trends in ground-water level in the 

water-table aquifers of that area. Figure 13 shows the fluctuation of water level in this well, 

along with precipitation and extremes of temperature. Precipitation for the year was about 

6.5 inches above normal at Grayling, but 6. 4 inches of the excess occurred during 2 days of 

heavy rainfall in July (see fig. 13). Melting snow contributed recharge in mid-January and late 

February, and again in the latter half of March when ground-water levels reached the peak for 

the year. The water level declined in late March and through most of April because of deficient 

precipitation. Heavy rains in late May and again in July resulted in some recharge, but because 

of the intensity of the rains, much of the water was discharged as surface runoff. The water 

level declined almost without interruption from mid-July to late November, probably because of 

high evapotranspiration demands and a deficiency of precipitation of more than 2 inches for this 

period. A slight recovery of ground-water stage was recorded in late November and during 

December, but levels at the end of the year were 1.7 feet lower than at the start of the year.

Southern Half

Branch County, City of Coldwater. --The observation well in Coldwater is finished in the 

glacial drift and is affected by withdrawals of ground water by the municipal wells, also finished 

in the drift. Total precipitation for the year was more than 11 inches below normal. The rise 

of water levels in the winter and spring months was less than half that of the same period in 1952. 

From May through December ground-water levels declined steadily. The year-end levels were 

the lowest of the 5 years of record and almost 2 feet lower than at the end of 1952. Averages 

based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged 

from 0. 8 million gallons daily (mgd) in February to 2. 2 mgd in July and averaged 1. 3 mgd for 

the year.

Calhoun County, City of Battle Creek. --Most observation wells in Battle Creek and vicinity 

are finished in the Marshall formation, and a few tap the overlying glacial drift. Municipal and 

industrial supplies are drawn largely from the Marshall formation. Total precipitation for the 

year at Battle Creek was more than 6 inches below normal. Year-end observations of water level 

indicate an average decline of about 1.3 feet in the Marshall formation. A prolonged heat 

wave in late August and early September was followed by a deficiency of about 6 inches of precipitation in the August through December period. As a consequence of limited recharge to the 

ground-water aquifers, water levels continued to decline to the end of the year. Averages based 

on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged from 

about 5 million gallons daily (mgd) in March to 10 mgd in August and averaged almost 7 mgd for 

the year.

Cass County, City of Dowagiac. --The observation well in Dowagiac is finished in the glacial 

drift and is affected by nearby municipal pumping. This report also includes water-level data for 

1952. Precipitation in 1952 was about 3 inches below normal. The deficiency of precipitation 

from August through December was about 4 inches. Water levels at the start of 1952 were the 

highest since the beginning of record in 1949, because of abundant precipitation in 1951. Increased 

pumping in May and below-average precipitation resulted in a decline of water levels which continued through most of the remainder of the year. Year-end levels were nearly 5 feet below those 

at the end of 1951. Averages based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water 

for municipal supply ranged from 0.57 million gallons daily (mgd) in January to 1.24 mgd in 

October and averaged 1 mgd for the year. In comparison, average daily withdrawals in 1951 

were 0.67 mgd. Based on records maintained at Eau Claire, precipitation at Dowagiac was 

probably more than 11 inches below normal in 1953, an extremely dry year in the area. With the 

exception of January, precipitation in every month of the year was below normal. As a result of 

deficient precipitation and increased municipal withdrawals during the hot summer months, water 

levels declined from the beginning of the year, reaching a low of record in August. However, 

decreased pumping during the latter part of the year resulted in rising water levels and at the end 

of the year levels had recovered to about 1 foot below those at the end of 1952. Average daily 

municipal withdrawals of ground water was 1.3 mgd for the year, or double that of 1951.

Clinton County, Village of Elsie. --In Elsie, observation well CtES 1 is finished in the 

Saginaw formation and CtES 3 is finished in the glacial drift. Precipitation in the Elsie area was 

about 7 inches below normal. Well CtES 1 reflects changes of water level caused by municipal 

pumping from the sandstone. High stages for the year were in January and a near low of record 

was observed in August, coinciding with peak municipal withdrawals from the rock aquifer. The 

water level in CtES 1 in November 1953 was about 17 feet below that of the same period in 1952 

as the result of increased pumping from the rock and subnormal precipitation. Well CtES 3 reflects changes in water level caused by pumping from 2 municipal wells in the drift aquifer. 

Pumping was fairly steady throughout the year. Water levels were highest during the spring 

period and lowest in August. Deficient precipitation and hot weather during the summer and fall 

months resulted in a net decline for the year of about 2 feet. Municipal withdrawals of ground 

water averaged 490,000 gallons daily for the year.

Eaton County, City of Charlotte. --The observation well in Charlotte is finished in glacial 

drift, which is the aquifer tapped for the municipal water supply. The highest stage was observed in April. Little recharge occurred in the fall and water levels in November were about 

half a foot below last year's stage. Average municipal withdrawal of ground water was about 

700, 000 gpd for the year.

City of Grand Ledge. --The observation well in Grand Ledge is finished in the Saginaw 

formation, from which the municipal water supply is obtained. Precipitation was more than 

8 inches below normal for the year according to records maintained at the U. S. Weather Bureau 

station at the Lansing Municipal Airport. Water levels declined about 2 feet during the year. 

Municipal pumpage figures for 1953 are not reported herein as it has been found that the meters 

used on the supply system are in error. Pumpage figures published in previous reports were in 

error and reportedly were too high. The magnitude of error in the published figures, however, 

could not be determined.

Genesee County, City of Flint. --Burton Township at the south city limits and many industries in the Flint area obtain water from the Saginaw formation. The city of Flint, however, 

obtains its municipal water supply from the Flint River. The observation wells in the Flint area 

are finished either in the glacial drift or in the Saginaw formation. Total precipitation for the 

year was more than 5 inches below normal. Water levels in wells tapping both the drift and the 

Saginaw formation rose about a foot during the period January through April due to above-average 

precipitation and frequent thaws which resulted in favorable conditions for ground-water recharge. 

Following this period of recharge, increased pumping, deficient precipitation, and many prolonged 

periods of hot weather caused water levels to decline steadily through August and early September. 

Water levels in many wells dropped to record and near-record lows by late summer and early 

fall. Some recovery was observed during the fall months, but year-end levels were about 1. 2 

feet below those of 1952. Averages based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground 

water for municipal use by Burton Township ranged from 320, 000 gpd in January to 480, 000 gallons 

in June and averaged 360, 000 gpd for the year.

Gratiot County, City of Alma. --Observation wells in this area are finished either in 

surficial or in buried outwash aquifers. Municipal and industrial water supplies are obtained 

from wells in the buried outwash aquifer. One infrequently used municipal well is finished in 

the Saginaw formation. Total precipitation for the year was about 6 inches below normal. Precipitation was above average during the months of April and August only. Observation wells 

finished in the shallow outwash deposits generally were at their highest levels for the year in the 

period March through May. Some new lows of record were observed in the late fall. An average 

net decline of 0. 5 foot was recorded for the year. In most observation wells finished in the buried 

outwash, highs for the year occurred during March and April. Lows occurred in August, coinciding with peak municipal and industrial withdrawals. Water levels recovered slightly after 

the period of heavy pumping, but the net decline for the year averaged about 6. 5 feet. Averages 

based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged 

from 1.1 million gallons a day (mgd) in January to 1. 7 mgd in June and averaged 1. 4 mgd for 

the year.

Ingham County, Lansing area. - -Observation wells in the Lansing area are finished in the 

Saginaw formation. With few exceptions, municipal and industrial wells in the area tap the same 

formation. Total precipitation for the year was more than 8 inches below normal. Nearly 5 

inches of this deficiency was accumulated during the fall months. Ground-water levels in wells 

in the heavily pumped areas declined steadily from the beginning of the year and reached record 

or near-record lows in August. Observation wells beyond the heavily pumped areas generally 

reached highs in April and May and then declined to the end of the year. Water levels at the end 

of the year ranged from 0. 7 to as much as 10 feet below those at the start of the year. The 

greatest declines were recorded in areas of large ground-water withdrawals. The average net 

decline for the year in 16 observation wells was about 4 feet. Averages based on monthly totals 

indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply by Lansing, East Lansing, Landel 

Metropolitan District, and Michigan State College ranged from 19. 8 mgd in December to 26 mgd 

in July and averaged 22 mgd for the year.

City of Mason. --The observation well in Mason is finished in the Saginaw formation underlying the glacial drift and reflects withdrawals of water from the Saginaw by industrial wells in 

the area. Ground-water levels for the year were high in the spring months. The lowest level of 

record was observed early in September. However, recovery of ground-water levels in the-fall 

brought end-of-the-year water levels to approximately the same as last year. Averages based on 

monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply from the glacial 

drift deposits ranged from 290, 000 gpd during January to 870, 000 gallons during July and averaged 

450, 000 gpd for the year.

Kalamazoo County, City of Kalamazoo. - -Observation wells in this area are finished in the 

glacial drift, as are municipal and industrial wells. Total precipitation of 21 inches for the year 

was about 14 inches below normal and was the lowest since the beginning of record in 1876. 

Generally, water levels were at highest stages for the year in the period January through April. 

Then water levels declined rapidly and without interruption for the balance of the year. The
60 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, NORTHEASTERN STATES

declines were due to increased pumping brought about by prolonged heat waves during the summer 

and near-drought conditions in the fall. Compared to 1952, end-of-the-year levels were down 

from 1. 5 to as much as 5.2 feet and the average decline was about 3 feet for the 11 observation 

wells used as indices for the area. Averages based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals 

of ground water for municipal supply ranged from 7. 6 million gallons daily (mgd) in December 

to 14. 3 mgd in July and averaged 9. 9 mgd for the year. Industrial pumpage in the Kalamazoo 

area probably greatly exceeds municipal pumpage.

Oakland County, City of Pontiac. --The observation well in Pontiac is finished in the glacial 

drift as are the municipal and most industrial wells in the area. Total annual precipitation was 

more than 5 inches below normal for the second year in succession. The greatest part of this 

deficiency occurred during the months of August through December, a period normally favorable 

to ground-water recharge. Observation well OaPT 1 at the Walnut Street municipal pumping 

station reflects changes in water level caused by withdrawals of ground water from the drift. 

High stages for the year were during January, February, and March, and low stages were recorded during the period July through September. The lowest water level observed since the 

start of record in 1939 was in September. Maximum and minimum water levels coincided generally with changes in municipal withdrawals of ground water. Averages based on monthly totals 

indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal use ranged from 10.7 million gallons 

daily (mgd) in December to 15.9 mgd in July and averaged 12. 9 mgd for the year.

Ottawa County, City of Holland. --Observation wells in this area are finished in the glacial 

drift which is tapped by the city of Holland and most industrial well users. Total precipitation 

for the year was about 3 inches below normal.owing to rainfall deficiencies during the period 

January through May and September through December. Recharge to the drift aquifer was small 

during months normally favorable for recharge. After the high stages of April, water levels in 

observation wells in the heavily pumped areas declined to new lows of record in August. However, 

by the end of the year, reduced pumping allowed water levels to recover to levels observed at 

the end of 1952. In wells at some distance from heavy pumping, high stages were observed in 

March, April, and in 1 well in August, but water levels dropped to record and near-record lows 

in October and November. Recovery in wells outside the areas of heavy pumping was small and 

end-of-the-year levels ranged from 0. 65 to 4 feet below levels at the end of the previous year. 

Averages based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal use 

ranged from 2.1 million gallons daily (mgd) in January to 4. 2 mgd in June and averaged 2. 75 

mgd for the year.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in Michigan are numbered according to the county and city or township in which they 

are situated. The first segment of the well number consists of an uppercase and a lowercase 

letter indicating the county in which the well is situated. The second segment indicates the city 

or the civil township. Uppercase letters are used for cities, villages, or towns. An uppercase 

letter followed by a lowercase letter is used for the township designation.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference.

Northern Peninsula

Menominee River Basin. --Periodic depth-to-water measurements were continued during 

1953 in observation wells in the Menominee River basin in the western part of the Northern 

Peninsula of Michigan by the Wisconsin-Michigan Power Company.

Precipitation for the stations in the Menominee River basin averaged 33.14 inches, about 

2.96 inches above the 45-year average. The monthly distribution of precipitation was above 

normal except for the months of September, October, and November, which averaged about 53 

percent of normal.

Frozen ground combined with below-freezing air temperatures reduced ground-water recharge causing water levels in wells in the Menominee River basin to decline gradually from 

November 1952 to February 1953. Ground-water levels rose an average of 2. 5 feet during March 

and April as a result of melting of 44 inches of snow cover. The seasonal decline of water levels 

began in May and continued through June. Water levels in many of the wells in the southern half 

of Iron County reached record highs following an unusually intense storm of 4^ inches occurring 

on June 30 and July 1. Because of absence of normal recharge owing to below-normal precipitation, the levels declined at a greater than normal rate from July until the end of the year. The 

December 1953 level for the basin averaged about 0.16 foot lower than the December 1952 level.

Chippewa County. --Well CpSp 59 near Raco is finished in glacial drift. The decline of 

water level from the beginning of record in mid-1952 continued to late March 1953. Spring rains 

and melting of practically all of the snow cover in April caused water levels to rise until the 

latter part of May. Water levels then declined almost steadily to the end of the year and were 

about 0. 5 foot below those at the end of 1952. Precipitation at the nearest U. S. Weather Bureau 

station at Sault Ste. Marie was about 1. 5 inches above normal for the year, but may differ somewhat from precipitation at Raco.

Schoolcraft County. --Well SoGe 112 near Germfask is finished in the Richmond group, 

which is composed of shales and limestones of Ordovician age. Water levels in the well reflect 

changes in artesian pressure in the upper portion of the Richmond group. Water levels declined from the start of record in June through October 1952. Water levels then recovered 

until mid-1953, when the high stage for the year was attained. From April to September the 

water level declined about 0. 7 foot, but by the end of the year the stage in the well was at about 

the same level as at the end of 1952.

Well-Number ing System

The first pair of letters consists of an uppercase and a lowercase letter indicating the 

county in which the well is situated. The second pair of letters indicates the city or the civil 

township. Uppercase letters are used for cities, villages, or towns. An uppercase letter followed by a lowercase letter is used for the township designation. The abbreviation W. M. P. 

refers to Wisconsin-Michigan Power Company and is followed by its well number. Example: 

W. M. P. No. 6.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

By Walter MacDonald, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in New Hampshire was continued in 1953. Wells Hill 1 and 

New London 1 in Merrimack County were measured weekly. Well Auburn 8 in Rockingham 

County is equipped with a recording gage. Figure 14 shows the location of the three wells.

Precipitation

The first 5 months of the year, with the exception of February when precipitation was 

normal, were extremely wet. This period of heavy rainfall was followed by a dry summer which 

was alleviated by above-normal rainfall in October. Precipitation was slightly below normal in 

November, but above normal in December. The annual precipitation for the State as a whole 

was 45.13 inches which was 4. 48 inches above normal and 3.16 inches more than in 1952.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels, slightly above average at the beginning of 1953, rose to record heights 

during the first 3 months. The normal seasonal decline began in April and continued through 

September. The water levels, above average until the end of May, dropped below normal during 

the remaining period of decline. During October and November the fluctuations were minor, 

and levels remained below normal until an abrupt rise in December brought them up above normal and slightly higher than those at the end of 1952, resulting in a general slight gain in groundwater storage for the year 1953.

Acknowledgments

The Manchester Water Works continued periodic measurements of water levels at 

Auburn 8 and maintained the recording gage installed on this well.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in New Hampshire are numbered serially within each town in the order that they 

were inventoried.

NEW JERSEY

By Charles R. Austin

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in New Jersey was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and Supply. Measurements were made in 200 wells. Measurements were made monthly or less frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and several times a day in those which were being observed during pumping tests. At the end of the year, continuous records from recording gages 

were being obtained from 92 wells. Figure 15 shows the location of the wells, the records of 

which are given in this report, except for those in Middlesex County and the western portion of 

Salem County. Figures 16 and 17 show the wells reported in these areas.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the year 1953 averaged 48. 78 inches, which is 3. 01 inches above normal. 

During the year, rainfall was above normal from January through May with the exception of 

February. The balance of the year through November was below normal. The result of this deficient rainfall during the summer months caused many wells to show record lows.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Atlantic County. --In the Atlantic City area the artesian pressure in the Atlantic City Waterworks well (36.13. 2. 9.1) at Pleasantville, which taps the Atlantic City 800-foot sand unit of the 

Kirkwood formation, showed a seasonal trend similar to previous years. Owing to increased 

pumping from these sands, the level throughout the year was approximately 1 'foot below that of 

1952. In the Longport well (36. 23. 1. 9. 6), which also taps the Atlantic City 800-foot sand unit of 

the Kirkwood formation, the water levels followed the same general pattern as in preceding years, 

which is a seasonal decline during the months of June, July, and August, and the recovery which 

starts immediately after Labor Day, at which time most of the hotels in this area close for the 

season. The levels in this well were below those of 1952 with the exception of the months of May, 

June, and July. Owing to the deficiency in rainfall, record lows were noted in both of these wells, 

and the levels in both wells were below those of 1952 at the end of the year. In general, water 

levels in the Atlantic City area have been declining during the past few years owing to increased 

pumping. The above-average rainfall of 1953 did not appear to check the decline.

Bergen County. --The level in the Baker well (26. 3.1. 4. 3) at East Paterson has been rising 

since 1950. During 1951 the average was 10 feet higher than in 1950, and in 1952 the average was 

about 8 feet higher than in 1951. This trend continued during 1953 until July 31, at which time the 

levels began to drop; on December 31 the level was 5 feet lower than on the same date the preceding year. The Garfield well (26. 3.1. 7. 3) showed generally lower water levels throughout the 

entire year. Increased industrial usage in this area and generally lower rainfall during the last 

half of 1953 might be the reason for this decline.

Burlington County. --Water level throughout the year in the Perm State Forest well 

(32. 23. 6.6. 8) was about normal, and on December 31 was approximately the same as in 1952.

Camden County. --In this area water levels have been declining since 1951. A record low of 

38. 4 feet below msl was observed in the New Jersey Water Company well 10 (31. 2. 4. 5.1) on 

September 11, 1953. The previous record low of 31. 2 feet below msl was recorded on August 18, 

1951. A record low of 10. 93 feet below msl was observed in the Esterbrook Pen Company well 

(31.1. 6. 4.8) on September 4, 1953. These lows can be attributed mainly to increased pumping 

in this area.

Cape May County. --A record low of 73. 5 feet below msl was observed in the American Ice 

Company well (36. 22. 6. 8. 2) on July 24, 1953. On December 31 the water levels in this well were 

5 feet lower than on the same date in 1952. A record low of 66.2 feet below msl was also recorded in the Normandie Hotel well (36. 22. 6. 9.1) on September 6, 1953. The water levels in 

this well were slightly lower throughout the year than during 1952.

116 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Essex County. --A record low of 104. 2 feet above msl was observed in the Commonwealth 

Water Company well 30 (25.15. 7. 5. 4) on November 29, 1953, and a record low of 138. 30 feet 

above msl on October 26, 1953, in the East Orange Water Department well (25.15. 7. 5. 9). Water 

levels in both wells were generally lower throughout the year than in 1952. These lows can be 

attributed to increased pumping in the area and a deficiency in rainfall during the summer months.

Gloucester County. --A record low of 41. 4 feet below msl was observed in the Texas Company well 3 (31.11. 2. 7. 2) on August 27, 1953.

Middlesex County.--The Joseph Morrell well (29.11.1. 2. 3) near Old Bridge in Middlesex 

County is considered to be a reliable index of the amount of water stored in the ground, particularly during the growing season. This well responds quickly to precipitation and is so situated 

that it is not affected by pumping. On October 13, 1953, a record low of 67. 25 feet above msl 

was noted in this well, and on December 31 the level was approximately 0. 5 foot lower than on 

the same date in 1952. On July 1 the level started to decline rapidly and continued until 

October 28. Several heavy rainstorms from October 28 to November 7 and additional rainfall 

thereafter brought the level in this well up to 73. 25 feet above msl at the end of the year. This 

record low and rapid decline can be attributed to the below-normal rainfall during the growing 

season. Record lows were observed in 4 of the Duhernal wells during 1953. Figure 18 is a 

composite hydrograph of the Joseph Morrell well showing highest, lowest, and average water 

levels at the end of each day from 1923 to 1953. The 1953 record has been plotted as a separate 

line to show its relation to the average and record highs and lows.

Monmouth County. --The Rulif Hulsart well (29.11. 1. 2. 9) is a reliable index to groundwater levels in this area. Figure 19, a composite hydrograph showing the highest, lowest, and 

average end-of-day water levels for the years 1936 to 1953, indicates the seasonal trends. 

Throughout the year water levels were generally lower than in 1952. On May 8 the level was 

99. 84 feet above msl which was the highest during 1953. On this date the level started to decline 

and continued falling until November 6, when the lowest for the year was 95. 80 feet above msl. 

The level started rising and on December 31 was approximately 0. 5 foot lower than on the same 

date in 1952 and was slightly lower than the annual average.

Union County. --A record low of 61.03 feet above msl was observed in the Union County 

Park Commission well (26. 21. 5. 4. 6) on November 20, 1953. Water levels were about average 

until March 12. From that date until May 28 the levels were above average. Levels started to 

decline on May 28 and from July 12 were below average for the balance of the year. This can be 

attributed to a deficiency in rainfall during the summer months.

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system is based upon the State topographic atlas sheets. The first 

segment of the number is that of the atlas sheet on which the well location may be found. The 

second refers to the 6-minute rectangle in which the well is situated. The third refers to the 

2-minute rectangle into which the 6-minute rectangle is subdivided. Each of the 2-minute rectangles is divided into nine equal rectangles which are numbered from 1 to 9, beginning in the 

upper left corner and numbering to the right. These divisions are again divided into nine equal 

rectangles and numbered in the same way.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below mean sea level unless otherwise indicated. When some 

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

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

Readings that are between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference and those between, 

plus (+) signs are above the plane of reference.

Long Island

By S. J. Spiegel

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Long Island was continued during 1953 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 the Suffolk County Water Authority. 

Measurements were made during the year at approximately 600 observation wells, of which 43 

were equipped with recording gages. Monthly measurements were made in about half these wells 

and less frequent measurements in the remainder. Water-level data for 184 wells, including 

daily readings at 26 recording gages, are tabulated in this report. Figures 20-24 show the location of observation wells on Long Island.

Precipitation

Precipitation on Long Island in 1953 averaged about 52 inches at 16 stations operated by the 

U. S. Weather Bureau and other agencies; it averaged about 11 inches above normal in Suffolk 

County, and about 6 inches above normal elsewhere on Long Island. In general, precipitation 

was slightly below normal during the summer and early fall, but was above normal by various 

amounts during the rest of the year. The heaviest precipitation in 1953 was recorded in March 

and April, when excesses of 3 to 9 inches were noted. Precipitation, totaling 7. 91 inches in 

March, much of it in the form of very heavy rainstorms, established the wettest March in 

83 years of record at the Battery in New York City; record-high precipitation for March was 

measured also at other stations on Long Island with much shorter periods of record. At the 

Battery (longest continuous record near the western end of Long Island) 46.26 inches (4. 23 inches 

above normal) of precipitation was measured in 1953; at Setauket (longest continuous record in 

eastern Long Island) 48. 89 inches (3. 95 inches above normal) was recorded. At Mineola in 

central Nassau County, 48. 68 inches (6.23 inches above normal) was measured, and at the Riverhead Research Farm in eastern Suffolk County, 50. 83 inches (8. 91 inches above normal) was 

recorded. The highest precipitation (63. 71 inches) on Long Island in 1953 was reported for 

Bridgehampton in southeastern Suffolk County; the lowest (47.17 inches) at Port Jefferson in 

north-central Suffolk County.

Pumpage

According to pumpage data furnished by the New York State Water Power and Control'Commission, the Nassau County Department of Public Works, and other sources, the gross withdrawals of ground water on Long Island for public supply, industrial, agricultural, and other uses 

averaged about 261 mgd in 1953, and thus about 31 mgd more than in 1952. Of the total amount, 

about 173 mgd was for public supply, about 71.4 mgd for industrial uses, and about 16. 3 mgd for 

agricultural purposes. About 13 mgd of the increase in average daily withdrawals in 1953 is 

additional at the city of New York installations in Queens and Nassau Counties, chiefly during 

November and December when storage in the surface-water reservoirs in Upstate New York was 

reduced appreciably. During the 2-month period the rate of withdrawal by the city of New York 

was as high as 80 mgd. An additional 14 mgd of the increase since 1952 reflects the continued 

growth in population and the expanding industrial development in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and 

also the somewhat greater per capita use of ground water for all purposes; the remaining 4 mgd 

represents additional withdrawal in 1953 for supplemental irrigation. Withdrawals in Nassau 

County in 1953, including about 11 mgd by the city of New York, averaged about 118 mgd, or about 

45 percent of the total for Long Island. In Suffolk County 62 mgd, or 24 percent of the total, was 

pumped; in Queens County about 56 mgd, or about 21 percent; and in Kings County, about 25 mgd, 

or about 10 percent. About 10 percent of the gross withdrawals on Long Island was taken from 

the Lloyd sand member of the Raritan formation, about 35 percent from the sands of the Magothy 

formation(?), about 5 percent from the Jameco gravel, and about 50 percent from deposits of 

late Pleistocene age. Recharge of used water to underground formation is estimated roughly at 

130 mgd. Of this amount, approximately 90 mgd of the water used for public and domestic supply

was returned by cesspools, septic tanks, and leaching basins; about 40 mgd of the water pumped 

for industrial uses was returned by wells. Therefore, net withdrawals in 1953 averaged about 

130 mgd, or about half the gross withdrawals on Long Island.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Long Island is composed of alternating beds of sand, gravel, and clay, which have been 

differentiated into four principal water-bearing formations or aquifers. The lowermost of these, 

which is of Late Cretaceous age, is called the Lloyd sand member of the Raritan formation and 

consists generally of sand, gravel, and some interbedded clay lenses. It overlies the bedrock 

floor of the island and is covered in most places by the clay member of the Raritan formation. 

The second aquifer, the Magothy formation(?) of Late Cretaceous age, overlies the clay member 

and is the thickest formation in the central and eastern parts of the island. Except for a widespread coarse zone at the bottom, it is variable in texture, being composed generally of heterogeneous interbedded lenses of solid clay, sandy clay, sand, and gravel. In western Long Island, 

the Magothy formation(?) is overlain by the third important aquifer, the Jameco gravel of 

Pleistocene age. This water-bearing formation is in turn overlain by the Gardiners clay, an 

interglacial deposit which has been identi fied also in parts of Suffolk County. The fourth and 

uppermost aquifer consists of outwash of late Pleistocene age and is the surficial deposit in most 

places. Locally, till of late Pleistocene age and shoreline deposits of Recent age provide a relatively impermeable cover for these sediments.

About half the average annual precipitation of 43 inches on Long Island percolates slowly 

from land surface to the water table; however, replenishment to the water-bearing formations in 

1953 was appreciably greater because of above-normal precipitation during the year. After 

reaching the water table, most of the ground water moves slowly downgradient in the shallower 

formations in a generally lateral direction either to the north or to the south; some ground water 

moves in a downward direction from the shallower to the deeper formations, encountering in its 

movement much more resistance by the relatively continuous clay beds than by the sand and gravel 

layers. Except for the ground water that is pumped for various uses on Long Island, principally 

by wells, and is not returned to the water-bearing formations after use, ground water under 

present hydraulic and geologic conditions continues to find its way to open bodies of salt water 

surrounding the island, for the most part either after outflow to streams or directly as underflow 

at and near the shoreline. The trend of ground-water levels in any formation is an expression of 

changes in storage in the aquifer resulting from differences between recharge and discharge. 

Recharge is derived principally from precipitation and from return of used water; discharge is 

principally by means of wells, sewer runoff, stream runoff, and underflow to the sea. When recharge exceeds discharge during a given period, storage increases and water levels rise. 

Conversely, when discharge exceeds recharge, storage decreases and water levels fall. Thus, 

water-level records are important indications in maintaining an inventory of ground-water supply. 

In areas where withdrawals are equivalent to a substantial portion of the natural and artificial 

recharge, changes in the seasonal and/or long-term withdrawal rates cause the major fluctuations 

in both water-table and artesian formations. On the other hand, in areas where pumpage is relatively small or negligible, variations in precipitation are reflected as major fluctuations of water 

levels in the water-table, and to a lesser degree in the artesian, formations. The water table 

responds, more or less directly and immediately, to individual storms or to successive series of 

storms. The artesian levels in a particular water-bearing formation respond not only to the 

variations in water levels in the underlying and overlying formations but also to variations in the 

inflow and outflow to and from the aquifer. There are also other fluctuations caused by tidal 

loading and by changes in barometric pressure but these are compensating for the most part and 

usually result in no overall trend.

The configuration of the water table in Long Island may be divided into two more or less 

distinct hydrologic provinces: (1) western Long Island, and (2) central and eastern Long Island. 

In western Long Island, excessive withdrawals prior to 1947 had lowered the water table below 

sea level in a large area of Kings County and adjacent parts of Queens County. In that year, a 

private water-supply company, which had been pumping about 27 mgd, ceased operating all its 

wells in central Kings County. The resulting recovery of water levels has continued almost uninterruptedly since that time, and has amounted to between 16 and 22 feet up through 1953 in the 

northern section, and more in the central section. For example, at well K30 (fig. 25) in the 

industrialized northwestern section, the water table recovered 4.1 feet in 1953, or an overall 

total of 22. 0 feet since June 1947. By December 1953, the water table was as high as 6 feet above 

sea level in the entire southern half of Kings County and in adjacent sections of western Queens 

County. Previously it had been below sea level in all but the extreme southern areas of the 

county by as much as 10 feet and more in some localities. The major fluctuations of the water 

table in Brooklyn and Queens, therefore, strongly reflect seasonal changes in the amounts and 

distribution of pumpage, and the year-to-year pumpage trend, as well as the overall effects of the 

regional recovery. In central and eastern Long Island, perennial recharge exceeds withdrawals 

substantially and the water table is above sea level practically everywhere; it was as high as 

85 feet above sea level in east-central Nassau County during 1953. On the whole, the year 1953 

was one of above-normal levels in the shallower formations on Long Island. The general trend of 

the water table in central Long Island is expressed satisfactorily by the average water level of

14 selected wells in Nassau and Suffolk Counties (fig. 25). These wells are N1255, N1256, 

N1259, N1263, N1614, N1615, and N1616 in Nassau County, and S1803, S1805, S1806, S1807, 

S1808, S1809, and S1810 in Suffolk County. At the end of 1953, the average water level in these 

wells was 48. 06 feet above sea level, indicating a net rise of 0. 80 foot during the year. Since 

the end of 1950, when the composite average water level was 45. 73 feet, a net rise of 2. 33 feet 

has taken place. The average level in December 1953 was the highest end-of-year level since 

1938, when 48.77 feet above sea level was recorded. Because of abnormally high precipitation 

in March and April and favorable antecedent conditions, new highest-on-record water levels 

were established at many observation wells in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, particularly those 

with short periods of record. (See summary table.)

Of approximately 100 artesian observation wells on Long Island, only 45 are presently 

used for periodic observations; the remainder are public water-supply and industrial wells at

Despite the fact that most artesian water levels showed net rises during 1953, small overall progressive declines in recent years can be noted at a few wells in western Long Island. For 

example, water levels in well N7 (fig. 25), which Is screened in the Lloyd sand member of the 

Raritan formation in southwestern Nassau County, show in general, a more or less continuous 

overall decline since about 1944; water levels in well N1613 screened in the lower portion of the 

Magothy formation(?) show a smaller downward trend since about 1946. Well N9, located near 

wells N7 and N1613 and screened in the upper part of the Magothy formation( ?-\ shows a somewhat abnormal decline in 1953 (fig. 25 ).

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgment is hereby made to the Superintendent of the Riverhead Water Supply for 

maintaining a recording gage at well S4134 at Riverhead and for taking periodic water-level 

readings at well S4271 at Baiting Hollow; and to the Superintendent of the Village of Greenport 

Water Supply for water-level readings at several wells in the vicinity of Greenport.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells on Long Island are numbered by the New York State Water Power and 

Control Commission. The first letter from the name of the county is prefixed to the well 

number; the number has no geographical significance. Wells are numbered with respect to the 

order of drilling.

The following tables include a summary of data pertaining to ground-water levels for Long 

Island and the net change in water levels during 1953:

UPSTATE NEW YORK

By E. S. Asselstine, F. K. Mack, and J. A. Ziarno

Scope of Water Level-Program

The observation-well program in Upstate New York (fig. 26) was continued during 1953, 

primarily as part of the investigation of ground-water resources in cooperation with the State 

Water Power and Control Commission. The studies to appraise the extent, use, and condition 

of the ground-water resources included systematic county-by-county surveys, geophysical surveys, and pumping tests to define the various aquifers, as well as observation of water levels in 

wells to permit proper management and conservation of the available ground-water supplies. 

During 1953, 70 observation wells were measured, including 19 equipped with recording gages 

from which continuous records of water-level fluctuations were obtained. New wells were added 

in the Counties of Erie, Delaware, Otsego, Rockland, and St. Lawrence.

A report entitled "Water resources of the Rochester area, New York, " was published as 

Circular 246 of the U. S. Geological Survey. Two ground-water reports covering four counties 

were prepared for publication as Bulletins GW-31 and GW-32 of the New York Water Power and 

Control Commission: "The ground-water resources of Bronx, New York, and Richmond Counties, 

and "The ground-water resources of Washington County, New York. "

Precipitation

The average precipitation in 1953 for New York, including Long Island, was 37. 77 inches. 

Although the total precipitation was only 1. 27 inches below normal, distribution throughout the 

year was uneven. In general, the first part of 1953 was characterized by above-normal precipitation and the remainder of the year by less-than-normal precipitation. March, April, and May 

were exceptionally wet, except for the western areas and the St. Lawrence Valley. Precipitation 

in May, highest for the year, was 47 percent above normal whereas precipitation in June, lowest 

for the year, was 56 percent below normal. Precipitation from July to November remained generally below average and was spread quite uniformly throughout the State with the exception of 

the south-central counties which were very dry from August to the end of the year. The December total for the State was above normal, but the central part remained dry.

Pumpage

The collection of pumpage records was continued in 1953 for the Schenectady area and the 

triple-cities area of Binghamton, Johnson City, and Endicott, the largest concentrations of groundwater pumpage in the region. The compilation of pumpage data also was extended during the year 

to a few other industrial centers. Evidence of excessive pumping did not become apparent during 

the year in any Upstate New York area. The Ansco Corporation at Binghamton continued artificially recharging its aquifers to safeguard its supply.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The year began with a rising trend of ground-water levels and near-average conditions in 

the eastern part of the State but-below average in most of the State. During January some minor 

declines occurred but recovery was sufficient by the end of the month to place most levels higher 

than those of the beginning of the year and near or above average. A decline took place in several 

areas during February, but at the month's end most wells were near average. March levels rose 

rapidly to positions that were above average for all areas and attained the annual high for most 

wells. At that time the water level in observation well Wo 1 in Letchworth State Park was above 

average for the first time since 1952, and the level in well Mt 1 in the Mohawk Valley was at the 

record monthly high for 10 years of record. In April water levels remained considerably above 

average in the northeastern part of the State but elsewhere declined to near normal. Observation 

well St 1 in St. Lawrence County was at a level equal to the record monthly high. Excessive precipitation during May accounted for a secondary peak on the annual hydrograph of most wells and 

for above-average levels throughout the State. Near-record highs occurred for some wells, 

flooded cellars and septic tanks occurred in the lower Mohawk Valley. Below-normal precipitation in June brought water levels in all sections to near average, and the seasonal downward 

trend became well established, to continue unbroken through the middle of November. July and

August levels were near average except in the southern areas where below-normal conditions 

were developing. The lowest August reading of 8 years of records was reported for well W 264, 

in the east-central part of the State. By September, levels were slightly below average in the 

western part and considerably below in the central, southern, and eastern areas. All levels were 

below average in October with southern and eastern areas lowest. During November the annual 

low was reached for most of the State, and although the seasonal upward trend began most wells 

continued to remain below normal. The upward trend continued throughout December, but the 

year closed with wells throughout the State generally below average. (See fig. 27.)

Well-Numbering System

Wells in Upstate New York are numbered consecutively in each county. A letter or combination of two letters from the name of the county is prefixed to the well numbers in that county. 

Thus, the letters "Ag" are prefixed to all well numbers in Allegany County.

OHIO

By W. C. Walton

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Ohio was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the Ohio 

Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Water and Wildlife, the Commissioners of 

Hamilton County, and the city of Canton. Measurements of water levels were made in 227 wells, 

130 of which were equipped with recording gages. Weekly measurements were made in about 

55 wells in the Mill Creek valley in southwestern Ohio. Monthly water-level measurements were 

made in 30 wells at Canton. Ten wells in the Upper Little Miami River area were equipped with 

recording gages. The records of 83 wells are included in this report. Figures 28 through 33 

show the location of the cooperative observation wells. Bulletin 28,"Ground-water levels in Ohio 

1951-1952," was prepared during the year by Paul Kaser of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water. Water-level data were also collected during the year by means of 

well surveys, 8 aquifer-hydraulic tests, and extensive hydrologic studies at Dayton, Cincinnati, 

and Canton.

Precipitation

Precipitation during the year averaged 28.64 inches for the State, or 8.98 inches below 

normal. The total for the year ranged from 22.11 inches at New Lexington in south-central Ohio 

to 39. 03 inches at Chardon in northeastern Ohio. Above-normal amounts of precipitation fell 

during January and May 1953. In general, precipitation deficiency was greatest in the southern 

half of the State; the deficiency of precipitation amounted to more than 15 inches in parts of southwestern Ohio. January was the wettest month with an average of 3. 82 inches, or 0.84 inch above 

normal. October was the driest month with an average of 0.74 inch, or 1. 71 inches below normal. 

January and May were the months most favorable for ground-water recharge. Below-normal 

precipitation coincident with above-normal temperatures during the summer and fall months 

reduced ground-water storage considerably.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Drought conditions and resulting well failures in 1953 forced many farmers to buy and haul 

water; in many metropolitan areas restrictions were placed on water use. Several municipal 

water supplies failed because of heavy withdrawals and deficient precipitation. Ground-water 

levels declined in more than 60 percent of the observation wells to record lows during the months 

of August through December and were still declining at the end of the year. Peak levels in most 

wells occurred in May and June, much later in the year than average. Recharge during the spring 

months was not sufficient to replenish water taken from storage during 1952. This resulted in the 

continued decline of ground-water levels through the summer, fall, and winter months of 1953 and 

presages the likelihood of additional water-supply failures in 1954. The hydrographs of observation wells shown in figures 34, 35, and 36, which are unaffected by pumping, reveal the effects of 

drought conditions in various parts of Ohio. In general, water levels in wells in the southern half 

of Ohio declined more than those in wells in the northern half of the State. Several streams were 

dry during part of the year because of low ground-water levels and deficient runoff. The most 

productive aquifers in Ohio are glacial deposits of sand and gravel that underlie streams. 

Recharge to the sand and gravel deposits is derived, under pumping conditions, chiefly from 

streamflow by induced infiltration. Extended periods of low streamflow, such as existed during 

1952 and 1953, have an adverse effect upon infiltration rates because of the silting of the stream 

bed. High streamflows are required to scour the stream bed periodically and restore infiltration 

rates. Below-normal runoff and generally low streamflow in 1953 were largely responsible for 

the decreased recharge to most of the heavily pumped valley-fill aquifers.

Dayton area, Montgomery County. --Over 120 million gallons a day is pumped by industries 

and municipalities in the Dayton area. Water supplies are obtained principally from sand and 

gravel deposits in the valleys of the Mad and the Miami Rivers. Peak pumping rates during the 

summer months have increased for the past several years and water levels have declined to progressively lower levels. Prior to 1952, the first year of the current deficient precipitation cycle, 

the peak ground-water levels were restored each spring to approximately the levels of the preceding year. Recharge during 1952 and especially 1953 was not sufficient to balance the amount of

water pumped and water levels did not recover to highs of previous years. Record low levels 

occurred in all the observation wells in the heavily pumped areas of Dayton during September and 

November. The major portion of the recharge to the glacial gravels in the Dayton area is induced 

from the flow of the Miami and the Mad Rivers by pumping. Heavy pumping during the summer 

months, when the rivers are at pool stage, exceeds the amount of recharge by induced infiltration. 

Water is taken from storage in the aquifer. Several high streamfiows are required to scour the 

stream bed, increase infiltration, and recharge the amount of water taken from storage. There 

are relatively few high streamfiows during 1952 and 1953. Peak levels, which were as much as 

10 feet below average, occurred in May and June as the result of minor high streamfiows. The 

hydrographs of wells Mt-2, Mt-3, Mt-6, and Mt-10 shown in figure 37 reveal the effects of extended low streamfiows on ground-water conditions in the Dayton area.

Mill Creek valley north of Cincinnati, Hamilton County. --The recovery of water levels in 

the Mill Creek valley between Lockland and Cincinnati, which began in June 1952 after a 

reduction in the rate of pumping by several industries in the area, continued during 1953. The 

glacial gravels south of Lockland in the buried valley underlying Mill Creek are overlain by relatively impermeable till, which excludes recharge in the immediate area. Heavy pumping prior to 

June 1, 1952, when 9 industries began purchasing water from the Southwestern Ohio Water 

Company, produced a downgradient of the piezometric surface, extending from the recharge area 

north of Lockland to the Norwood trough at Cincinnati. Water taken from storage in the aquifer 

during the years prior to 1952, when the requirements of the industries exceeded the amount of 

ground water available, is now being replenished. The rate of replenishment is governed primarily by the capacity of the glacial gravels to transmit water from the recharge area north of 

Lockland. Water levels also respond to changes in the rate of precipitation on the recharge area 

and to changes in the rate of pumping. The hydrographs of wells 270-T-7 and 241-3, shown in 

figure 38, illustrate the recovery of water levels in the southern part of the Mill Creek valley. 

Water levels in the Mill Creek valley north of Lockland receded during 1953 because of unusually 

heavy pumping and an appreciable deficiency in precipitation. Three municipal water depart - 

ments increased their pumpage in 1953. The water requirements of the village of Reading Increased from 0.965 mgd in 1952 to 1. 066 mgd in 1953. The village of Glendale increased its 

withdrawal from 0.253 mgd in 1952 to 0.275 mgd in 1953. The village of Lockland increased its 

pumpage from 0.68 mgd in 1952 to 0. 81 mgd in 1953. In addition, the water requirements of 

several industries still pumping ground water from the glacial gravels in the area north of 

Lockland increased during the year. Climatological data collected at the Mount Healthy Experiment Farm near the northern part of the Mill Creek valley show that precipitation during 1953 

was 29. 54 inches, or 10.94 inches below normal. Above-normal amounts of precipitation fell 

during January, May, and July and below-normal precipitation prevailed during the rest of the 

year. Recharge to the glacial gravels underlying Mill Creek was far below average. Deficient 

precipitation coincident with above-normal temperatures and increased pumping rates resulted in 

record low ground-water levels in the Mill Creek valley from Lockland north to the ButlerHamilton County line. See records of wells 216-E and 207-3, figure 38. Water levels in well 

180, which is north of the heavily pumped areas in the Mill Creek valley, declined almost without 

interruption from May through December to reach a record low at the end of 1953. The deficiency in precipitation which began in February persisted in the main through the spring months. 

Recharge to the ground-water reservoir during the summer and fall months was exceeded by the 

combined effects -of evapotranspiration losses and ground-water seepage to streamflow.

The reversal of the downward trend in water levels In the lower Mill Creek valley can be 

attributed largely to the reduction in pumping in the area following the completion of an industrial 

water-supply development in the Miami River valley. The Southwestern Ohio Water Company is 

presently pumping about 12 mgd from a ground-water collector near Venice along the Miami 

River in Hamilton County. Ground water is pumped from the collector through a 14-mile pipeline into a 15-million-gallon surface reservoir in the Mill Creek valley just north of Lockland. 

The water is distributed to 11 industries in the Mill Creek valley. The collector is developed in 

permeable glacial sands and gravels underlying the Miami River. The depth to bedrock is about 

125 feet. Recharge to the aquifer is induced from the flow of the Miami River by pumping in the 

collector. The hydrograph in figure 39, showing the water level in well H-2, 1,200 feet south of 

the collector, indicates that recharge was adequate to replenish the amount of ground water 

pumped in 1952 and in 1953. The water level in well H-2 fluctuated between 14 and 20 feet below 

land surface; and at the end of December 1953, when at the lowest level of record, it was 1 foot 

lower than in December 1952, despite the serious deficiency of precipitation and low flows in the 

Miami River. Peak levels in well H-2 were, recorded on May 26 and 27. The fine materials 

deposited on the stream bed during extended low flows substantially reduced the infiltration rate 

of the Miami River. Heavy precipitation in the nongrowing season produce high streamfiows 

sufficient to scour the stream bed and replenish the water taken from storage in the aquifer during protracted periods of low streamfiows.

Miami River valley, Butler County. --Ground-water conditions in the Miami River valley in 

Butler County are revealed by the records of wells B-23, 85-7, 25-5, and 36-13 shown in figure 

39. Water levels in well B-23, 2,000 feet southeast of the Miami River in southwestern Butler 

County, began to rise in January as the result of heavy above-normal precipitation during the 

month. The rise terminated about the last of March and water levels began to decline. Heavy 

precipitation and high streamf low, which occurred about the last of May, caused the water level

in well B-23 to rise to a peak level in June. The water level then declined until above-normal 

precipitation during the first week of July again exceeded the natural discharge of ground water. 

The downward trend of the water level was then resumed in well B-23 and persisted from the 

middle of July into 1954. The peak level in 1953 is near the record low and is below average for 

the period of record. The lowest water level in December, however, is not the record low for 

well B-23. Increased pumping by the Hamilton Water Department and the Hamilton Coke and Iron 

Plant, coincident with deficient precipitation and low streamflow, caused the water level in well 

85-7 to recede to a record low in September. Peak levels in well 85-7 occurred the last of May 

and were the lowest of record, indicating below-^iormal recharge to the valley-fill deposits underlying the Miami River at Hamilton. Precipitation at the Hamilton Waterworks during 1953 

amounted to 27. 22 inches, or 13.34 inches below normal; however, sufficient water is in storage 

in the aquifer to supply the Hamilton Waterworks during several years of deficient precipitation. 

The buried valley is 2. 5 miles wide and approximately 170 feet deep. The hydrograph of well 

25-5, shown In figure 39, Illustrates the fluctuations of ground-water levels in the city of Middletown proper. Water supplies at Middletown are obtained from permeable glacial gravels in a 

buried valley. Recharge, under pumping conditions, is derived primarily from the flow of the 

Miami River by induced infiltration. Peak levels in well 25-5 occurred in June, much later in the 

year than average, and were the lowest of record. The lowest water level of record was in 

December. Despite deficient precipitation and low flows in the Miami River, ground-water conditions in the vicinity of well 25-5 are not serious. The record of well 36-13, however, shows an 

alarming downward trend. Well 36-13 is in the well field of the American Rolling Mill Company 

in the southeastern part of Middletown, 2 miles from the Miami River. Because of the long 

distances from the major recharge areas to the well field, the water levels in the vicinity of well 

36-13 decline more under much less pumping than is the case in the vicinity of well 25-5. The 

American Rolling Mill Company increased pumping from 8.63 mgd in 1952 to 8.75 mgd in 1953. 

Precipitation measured 27.97 inches, or 13. 23 inches below normal at Middletown. The water 

level in well 36-13 declined to a record low in December, 6 feet below the previous record low 

in 1942. Ground-water conditions in the vicinity of well 36-13 are crucial, and heavy pumping 

coincident with below-normal recharge during 1954 could seriously deplete the aquifer.

Canton area, Stark County. --The hydrographs of wells St-2, St-4, St-5, St-5a, St-6, St-11, 

and St-22, shown in figures 40 and 41, are representative of the water-level trend in the Canton 

area in Stark County. Water supplies at Canton are pumped from permeable glacial gravels in 

buried valleys which underlie the city proper and parts of the East, Middle, and West branches of 

Nimlshillen Creek. Several industries pump ground water from a sandstone aquifer underlying 

the glacial deposits. The major portion of the recharge to the glacial gravels, under pumping 

conditions, is derived from streamflow by induced infiltration. Maximum recharge generally 

occurs during the nongrowing season when heavy precipitation produces high stream flows. The 

municipal water department pumps ground water from 4 well fields, Northeast, Northwest, Ninth 

Street, and Grovemiller. Average daily pumpage by the city of Canton increased from 18. 51 mgd 

in 1952 to 19.61 mgd in 1953. The bulk of the municipal supply is pumped from the Northeast and 

Northwest well fields. Industries in the Canton area pump ground water from the glacial gravels 

in the main buried valley underlying the city proper. Water-level trends in this area have improved greatly since 1945 when conservation measures were taken by industries; pumpage was 

considerably reduced. The municipal water department reduced its pumpage in the city proper in 

1948 when the Northwest well field was completed. As the result of the decrease in withdrawal of 

ground water from the main buried valley, water levels in well St-6 recovered from a record low 

in February 1945 to a record high in January 1952. The water level in well St-2 recovered about 

23 feet from the record low in 1945. Deficient precipitation and increased pumpage by industries 

and the municipal water department during 1953 stopped the recovery of water levels and started 

another downward trend in wells St-2 and St-6. Total precipitation at the Akron-Canton WB Airport during 1953 was 29.67 inches, or 7. 59 inches below normal. Precipitation was below normal 

except in January, May, and June. The Canton Water Department increased its pumpage in the 

Ninth Street well field from 3.86 mgd in 1952 to 4.16 mgd in 1953 and decreased its pumpage in 

the Grovemiller well field from 1. 26 mgd in 1952 to 1.12 mgd in 1953. Pumpage by industries in 

the area increased during 1953 as the result of above-normal temperatures. The Ninth Street 

pumping station was shut down January through March and the water level in well St-6 recovered 

during these months. The water level began declining again in April when pumping was resumed 

in the Ninth Street well field. Heavy precipitation during May and June temporarily stalled the 

downward trend that, except for this interruption, continued through 1953 and into 1954. Well 

St-2 is in the immediate vicinity of the heavily pumped industrial area. Industries pumped large 

quantities of ground water during the late winter and spring months of 1953. The water level in 

well St-2 declined throughout the year except during May and June when recharge exceeded discharge. Municipal pumpage in the Northeast well field, along the Middle Branch of NimishiUen 

Creek, increased from 9. 27 mgd in 1952 to 9.96 mgd in 1953. The water level in well St-5a in 

the Northeast well field declined to a record low in April. Recharge during the spring months was 

below average. The Northeast well field is recharged from the flow of the Middle Branch by induced infiltration, which is impeded by fine materials deposited on the stream bed during extended 

periods of low flow. Streamflow was high in January, May, and June for short periods; and 

despite generally deficient precipitation, all the water taken from storage in the aquifer during 

the period January through July was replenished. The water level in well St-5a began rising in 

May as the pumpage was reduced in the Northeast well field from 11. 02 mgd in April to 8.87 mgd

in May. Heavy precipitation in May and June contributed to the recovery. No serious downward 

trend existed at the end of the year, partly because lower water levels induce correspondingly 

more water from high streamflows. The aquifer underlying the Northeast well field is about 

200 feet thick and holds sufficient water in storage to balance pumpage at the rate of at least 

10 mgd in excess of recharge during years of deficient precipitation. The highest water level 

during 1953 in well St-4, north of the Northeast well field, occurred in June; the lowest water 

level occurred in December. The water level in well St-4 was still declining at the end of the 

year but did not reach the record low level. Pumpage by the city of Canton in the Northwest well 

field was reduced from 6.36 mgd in 1952 to 5. 89 mgd in 1953. A till layer approximately 4 feet 

thick separates the valley fill deposits underlying the Northwest well field into two aquifers. The 

shallow aquifer is 40 feet thick and the deep aquifer is about 100 feet thick. Three horizontal 

collecting units effectively connect the two aquifers. Recharge to the shallow aquifer is chiefly 

from the flow in the two forks of the West Branch of Nimishillen Creek. Recharge to the deep 

aquifer is derived artificially from the shallow aquifer through horizontal collecting pipes in the 

three collectors. The water levels in well St-11, in the deep aquifer, and in well St-22, in the 

shallow aquifer, declined to record lows in March 1953. Water levels in the area of the Northwest well field began to rise in April as the result of a decrease in pumping from 6.36 mgd in 

April to 4.67 mgd in May. Months most favorable for recharge were January, May, and June. 

Despite near-drought conditions during 1953 and record low water levels, the water stored in the 

deep aquifer was virtually untapped. Recent detailed studies of the ground-water resources of the 

Northwest well field area revealed that recharge by induced infiltration during years of normal 

precipitation is sufficient to replenish a pumping rate of at least 6.5 mgd. Water taken from 

storage during periods of deficient precipitation is replenished during years of normal and abovenormal precipitation. No serious continuing downward trend in water levels has resulted from 

pumping an average of 6. 5 mgd during the period 1948-1953. Ground-water storage in the Canton 

area was considerably reduced during 1953. Ground-water conditions in other heavily pumped 

areas in Ohio are shown in figure 42.

Well-Numbering System

The observation wells for which records are given in this report, with the exception of 

those in the Mill Creek valley and Miami Valley areas of Butler and Hamilton Counties, are 

identified by numbers prefixed by letters which are abbreviations of the counties. The same prefix is used for all wells in a particular county. The wells in the Mill Creek and Miami River 

valleys in Butler and Hamilton Counties are numbered consecutively according to their geographic 

location, beginning in the northern part of Butler County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference, and those between plus (+) 

signs are above the plane of reference.

PENNSYLVANIA

By Maurice O. Holtzer

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Pennsylvania was continued in 1953 in cooperation with 

the Topographic and Geologic Survey, Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs. Measurements were made in 83 wells in 36 counties, 14 of which were equipped with recording gages. 

Measurements were made monthly or less frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and 

several times a day in those being observed during pumping tests. Figure 43 shows the location 

of wells for which records are given in this report, except those in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh 

areas. Figure 44 shows the location of wells in the Philadelphia area and figure 45 shows the 

location of wells in the Pittsburgh area.

Precipitation

The average precipitation in Pennsylvania in 1953 was 41.11 inches, the least since 1949. 

The average was below the normal of 42.25 inches for the first time since 1949. Although the 

departure from the annual average was not large, the monthly average was below normal from 

June to November inclusive, and the cumulative departure from average at the end of November 

was 6.38 inches. The effects of the drought were felt throughout the State, and 18 municipalities 

that obtain their supply from ground-water sources reported critical shortages.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in all observation wells declined appreciably below average as a result of the 

drought, and record lows were recorded for 21 wells. Recovery was not appreciable in wells 

west of the mountains even at the end of the year. Natural changes in ground-water storage are 

reflected by records for most of the observation wells in Pennsylvania because most of them are 

in rural areas and are unaffected by pumping from nearby wells. A rise of water level can be 

attributed to an increment of ground-water storage resulting from precipitation at the aquifer 

outcrop or recharge from a stream hydraulically related to the aquifer tapped by the observation 

well. A decline can be attributed to a local reduction of ground-water storage resulting from 

seepage losses to a nearby stream or flattening of the water table in an extensive aquifer, or to 

transpiration and evaporation losses to the atmosphere. The hydrologic significance of unit rise 

or fall of water level may be, and generally is much different from well to well, as a result of 

differences in the hydraulic characteristics of aquifers tapped by the wells, differences in the 

topographic situation of water-table wells and the resulting aquifer drainage factors affecting 

water levels, and differences in vegetal cover and resulting local transpiration losses.

In Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties most observation wells tap aquifers from which 

moderate to large continuous withdrawals are made and water-level records indicate primarily 

changes in pressure head caused by changes in the rate or locus of the pumping. Interpretation 

of fluctuations of water level in any well in the Philadelphia or Pittsburgh areas therefore requires 

careful study of the local pumping conditions. Weekly water levels reported for 17 wells in the 

drainage basin of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania are used by the Pennsylvania Water and 

Power Company to predict the dry-weather flow of the stream 2 weeks in advance.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are designated by a two-letter abbreviation of the name of the county and a serial 

number beginning with 1. The location is shown by the part of the number enclosed by parentheses. A location number consists of letters and figures which identify a small area within which 

one or more wells are situated. Along the west border of the map of Pennsylvania (fig. 43) are 

letters A through L (except I) and along the north border are numbers 1 through 25. Each of 

these letters and numbers corresponds to ISminutes of longitude and latitude, respectively. 

Therefore, a letter-number such as "K3" refers to quadrangle area 15 minutes on a side with 

"K" as its west and east borders and "3" as its north and south borders. The "K3" area is 

divided into four parts by using "a" to represent the northwest quarter, "b" the northeast, "c" 

the southwest, and "d" the southeast. Thus, "K3a" is a quadrangle ik minutes on a side. The 

second half of the location number consists of 4 figures. These figures are distances south and

RHODE ISLAND

ByW. B. Alien

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the Rhode Island 

Development Council. Measurements were made in 50 wells, 5 of which were equipped with 

recording gages. About half the wells show water-level fluctuations caused principally by pumping and the other half show natural recharge and discharge. Figures 46 and 47 show the location of 

observation wells in Rhode Island. During 1953, field work was completed for detailed investigations of ground-water resources in central Rhode Island covering the Coventry and Hope Valley 

quadrangles and the Rhode Island part of the Voluntown and Oneco quadrangles. Monthly sampling 

of ground water for chloride content in the Woonasquatucket River valley in Providence was continued during the year.

Precipitation

Average statewide precipitation in 1953 was 58. 44 inches, or about 16.7 inches more than 

in 1952 and about 14.7 inches more than normal. The precipitation at Providence (City Airport) 

during the year was 57. 01 inches, or about 15.5 inches more than in 1952 and 17. 4 inches more 

than the normal for the preceding 30 years. In general, the average temperature for the State 

was about 3° above normal. In 1953, with the largest precipitation on record, recharge of groundwater reservoirs was high.

Pumpage

Pumpage in 1953 was about the same as in 1952. As reported in the 1952 annual water-level 

report, the average withdrawal of ground water was estimated to be about 33 million gallons a 

day.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In Rhode Island, the natural fluctuations ot ground-water levels are chiefly the result of 

evapotranspiration and differences in the amount and distribution of precipitation. The yearly 

trend of water levels usually consists of a rise during the early months with the peak in March 

or April, a recession until October or November, then a rise to the end of the year. During 1953, 

water levels followed this general pattern. At the beginning of 1953, ground-water levels were 

below normal because of below-normal precipitation from September through December 1952. 

From January through April 1953, precipitation of 9 inches above normal caused water levels in 

observation wells to reach their highest peaks for the year, and the highest in 6 to 10 years of 

record in 23 wells. Water levels declined steadily in May and dropped rapidly in June with only 

0.75 inch of rain (26 percent of normal) for the State. Above-normal precipitation in July and 

August slowed the seasonal decline in water levels and resulted in small recoveries in several 

veils. Water levels continued to decline in September and October, but levels were above normal 

jfor most of the State. However, in October, water levels in 5 wells in the State reached lowest 

stages in 5 to 6 years of record. Heavy rains late in November reversed the downward trend of 

water levels and increased ground-water storage considerably. Water levels rose to stages much 

higher than those at the end of November 1952, and at many places to record high stages for the 

taionth. This rising trend continued through the end of December. As a result there was a considerable net gain in ground-water storage for the year throughout the State.

Well-Numbering System

The identifying symbols for wells in Rhode Island consist of the name of the town or city 

followed by a number, wells in each town or city being numbered independently.

VERMONT

By Walter MacDonald, Jr.

Co

Scope of Water-Level Program

In 1953, measurements were made weekly in three wells: Middlesex 1 in Washington 

mnty, Bethel 1 in Windsor County, and Newfane 1 in Windham County. (See fig. 48.)

Precipitation

During the first 5 months of the year, except for February, the precipitation was extremely 

high. During June and July, the precipitation was only about one-half the normal amount. 

Slightly less than normal rain fell in August, September, and October. November was also a 

dry month. Precipitation for December was slightly above normal. The amount of rainfall for 

the year for the State as a whole was 38.05 inches,which was 0. 52 inch below normal and 

0. 96 inch less than in the previous year.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels rose generally through March and April to near-record levels, declined 

sharply through June and July and remained at low levels until December when they recovered 

slightly, but were still below average and below the levels at the close of the previous year, 

resulting in a general net loss in the amount of ground water in storage at the close of 1953.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in Vermont are numbered serially within each town in the order that they were inventoried.
