WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1948

Part 4. SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION

By A. N. Sayre and others

The ground-water inveatlgationa of the United States Geological Survey 

are primarily concerned with the location and appraisal of the ground-water 

resources of the Nation. They are carried, on principally in financial cooperation with States and municipalities, or at the request of ofier Federal 

agencies. Most of the investigations have to do with the availability of 

usable water supplies, but a few deal with drainage, flood control, construction of waterways and dams, mine drainage, and other problems to which 

the principles of ground-water geology are pertinent. Water-Supply Paper 

992 lists about 1,800 papers and reports describing ground-water investigations made by the Survey in cooperation with States and municipalities 

through 1945.

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure

An essential part of the ground-water investigations la th« measurement of fluctuations of water level and artesian pressure in wells. The 

rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in which a part 

of the water derived from rain and snow is stored to supply wells and 

springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods of fair weather. 

Water levels in wells indicate the stages of these natural reservoirs; 

they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by draught or. by 

heavy pumping, whether for public waterworks, irrigation, or industrial 

uses, and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons cf abundant 

rainfall or melting snow. The recorded changes of pressure in flowing 

wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian supplies.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CEFTRAL STATES

Annual publication of records by Geological Surrey 

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure In the United States was begun by the Geological Survey In 1935 and 

has continued yearly since. This series of water-supply pspers Is In a 

sense an Inventory of ground-water supplies. Prior to 194C the reeordo 

were published In * single volume. Beginning with 1940 the records have 

been published In eix volumes, covering the northeastern, eoutheastern, 

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

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

The introduction to the chapter on each State contains an rutline of the 

general program of work and special features of the program in the current 

year, such aa preliminary reports issued or put on file during the year or 

of work done in preparation for such a report. A general discussion of the 

fluctuations of water level and statements in regard to precipitation, 

pumpage, and other factors affecting water level aro Included. The following table gives the numbers of water-level reports from 191*5 through 1948.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the south-central states and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,465 observation, wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies In Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. Of these wells, 52 are equipped with automatic waterstage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records 

of water level are given. For wells whose previous records have.been
INTRODUCTION

.published this volume gives only the current records. If a complete description of a well has been published in a previous report, only the well 

number or the well number and a brief description are given In this report. 

This report includes about 6,250 individual determinations of water level 

and artesian pressure.

Figure 1. Outline map of the United States showing sections of the country 

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in 1948. The shaded section represents the 

part of the country covere'd by this volume.

Land-surface datum

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports 4 the water levels and artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea level or above or 

below various assumed datum planes. In 1943, it was decided that uniform 

practice should be adopted. Accordingly, a precise datum plane was established approximating the land surface at each well. The water levels and 

artesian heads for all wells listed in this report are given in feet below 

land-surface datum unless preceded by a plus (+) sign, or otherwise indicated in the descriptive text for each State. When water levels or artes(ian heads are referred to land-surface datum for the first time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter preceding them in order 

to facilitate comparison of the older and newer records.

Network of Federal observation wells

In 1942 and 1943 the Geological Survey established a network of 60 

Federal observation wells. These wells, were selected becnuse the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to 'be typical and represent the 

fluctuations that occur in the parts of the country in which the wells are 

situated. At the end of 1948 the network comprised about 360 wells in 45 

States, including 300 wells measured regularly in connection with cooperative ground-water investigations.

Changes in ground-water level in 1948 in the south-central part of the

United''States

In 1948 the precipitation in the south-central section of the country 

was below normal with the exception of Arkansas and Louisiana. In Arkansas, 

the total rainfall for 1948 was 50.09 inches, which is 1.64 inches above 

the 58-year average. In Louisiana, precipitation averaged 56.80 inches, 

above normal by 0.28 inch. The State average precipitation for Oklahoma 

was 31.88 inches, which is 1.01 inches below the average for the past 57 

years. The average amount of precipitation in Texas was 24.16 inches, or 

6.09 inches below normal. This was the driest year since 1924 in Texaa. 

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

however, on many factors besides the amount of precipitation. In certain 

of the observation wells there ere fluctuations caused by differences in 

the rate of pumping or artesian flow from other wells in the area, but most 

of the observation wells are not noticeably affected by p-wnping or artesian 

flow. A summary of the changes in ground-water level is given in the 

chapter for each State.

ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE REGION 

,By J. H. Criner 

PROGRAM OF WORK

Measurements of depth to water levels in wells in the Grand Prairie 

region were made in April 1948 in cooperation with the State Agricultural 

Experiment Station, the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, and tl 3 Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army. The measurements were made by Professor Kyle Engler 

and Mr. Patterson. Measurements of water levels in the Grand Prairie region have been made for 22 successive years. The first measurements were 

made in September 1927 in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological Survey.

The Grand Prairie region of Arkansas comprises Arkansas County, large 

parts of Lonoke and Prairie Counties and small parts of Jeffarson and 

Monroe Counties. Rice is extensively cultivated in the regior. A large 

part of the water used for riceland irrigation is taken from wells, most 

of which tap water-bearing material of Quaternary age. A discussion of the 

conditions affecting the ground-water resources of the region and an account

of the early pumping operations and their effect on the general ground-water

1 

level are given in an earlier report. Later reports bring tl «»se records

up to date and include the records of other wells as measurements are begun. 

In June 1945 a comprehensive report summarizing all of the works done in

the cooperative investigations was published by the University of

2 

Arkansas.

6 'WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level In wells In the Grand Prairie region 

are causer1 , In part, by differences In natural recharge arw? discharge from 

the aquifer. The water levels In nearly all wells in the region fluctuate 

as a result of the changes in atmospheric pressure; this mry be as much as 

0.8 foot in 24 hours and 1 foot in a few days. Corrections for changes in 

atmospheric pressure can be made and are necessary to make accurate comparisons of water levels at different times. Measurements given in this 

paper have not been corrected for atmospheric changes. In the extreme 

southeastern portion of the region some fluctuation of water levels is 

caused by differences in the stage of White River.

Changes in water levels are also caused by pumping. The water levels 

tend to stand highest in the spring Just before the irrigation pumping begins, then decline during the period of pumping, the rate of decline being 

large at first, then decreasing. After pumping ceases the water levels 

rise, fairly rapidly at first, then at a decreasing rate, and, by spring, 

tend to stand near the levels of the previous spring. The trend of water 

level or artesian head from year to year maybe determined by annual measurements made in the spring as late as possible before pumping begins. In 

some years measurements of water level were made in the fall, but then the 

general trend of water levels may be masked by local irregvlarities due to 

differences in pumping. Water levels were not measured in the fall of 1948.

Well 280, in the Grand Prairie region, is equipped with an automatic 

water-stage recorder, and measurements of the water level were given at the 

times the recorder charts were changed, which was generally once a week. 

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

been obtained since August 1928.

Measurements have been discontinued and will not be reported in subsequent years from the following wellsi Arkansas Countyt 205, 293, 362,

Ashley County

A program of annual spring water-level measurements in riceland irrigation wells in Ashley County was started In 1946, and was continued In 

1948 in cooperation with the University of Arkansas, Bureau of Research.
ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS COUNTY

.The riceland irrigated with ground water increased from 175 acres from 1 

well in 1942 to over 5,000 acres from more than 20 wells in 19^7.

There are three areas in Ashley County devoted chiefly to growing rice, 

the largest of which is in Pine Prairie, about 8 miles northeast of Hamburg. 

Another area is 4-fe miles southwest of Hamburg, and the other area extends 

northwestward from Hamburg for a distance of about 5 miles.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water Investigations In Louisiana were continued Ir 1948 In 

cooperation with the Geological Survey, Louisiana Department of Conservation, and the Louisiana Department of Public Works. The State-wide Investigations, which have been conducted on a cooperative basis slrie May 1938, 

Include the periodic measurement of water levels and artesian pressures In 

a number of key wells, and the operation of automatic water-air,c,e recorders 

on several others. In 1948, 10 wells In Louisiana were selected for measurement under the Federal observation-well program. These wells tap aquifers Important as sources of supply at government-owned hospltrls, army 

camps, etc.; at Industrial plants considered of primary Importrnce In time 

of war; or In Interstate areas where the obligation to maintain water-level 

records cannot be fairly assigned to either State.

The observation-well program In Louisiana for 1948 Included 299 wells 

In 28 parishes. Automatic water-stage recorders were In operation on 39 

of these. Of the recorders operated on key wells, 25 were of the weekly 

type and 14 of the continuous type. A total of 1,674 Individual measurements of water levele was made In 260 wells during the year. Measurements 

were made on a weekly basis In 12 wells, at monthly Intervals In 77 wells, 

at bimonthly Intervals In 4 wells, and at quarterly Intervals In 99 wells. 

The remainder, 68 wells, were measured at Irregular intervals.

All water-level measurements are given In feet below land-surface 

datum unless otherwise indicated.

The locations of all observation wells in Louisiana for which records 

were obtained are shown on the map, figure 2 All measurements were made 

by members of the technical staff except those for Sc-6, at Nor-co, which 

were made through the cooperation of officials of the Shell Oil Company.

14 WATER LEVELS AIID ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 194&, SOUTH-CE1ITRAL STATES

The Inveatigational program was directed primarily toward solution of 

the irrigation water-supply problem of southwestern Louisiana. Numerous 

local exploratory projects for cities and towns required considerable 

attention. No Important technical reports were published by the Louisiana 

district in 1948.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Northern Louisiana. Levels in observation wells in the vicinities of 

Bastrop, In Morehouse Parish, Monroe, in Ouachita Parish, Springhill, In 

Webster Parish, and Hodge, in Jackson Parish, where paper mills obtain 

water supplies principally from wells, continued to decline ir 1948. At 

Monroe, where all industrial wells tap the Sparta sands, the lowest level 

in 3 years of record for well Ou-77 was reached on October 1 -223 feet below land surface, 3.4 feet below the lowest level in 1947. At Bastrop, 

Well Mo-9, which taps deep Sparta sands (890 feet) showed a decline of 16 

feet from the lowest level In 1947. (Fig. 3 .)

Levels in shallower (100-foot) wells at Bastrop showed no significant 

change during the year, although pumpage from the shallow sane? has partially 

dewatered the aquifer.

Conditions in the deeper sands (250 to 400 feet) at Sprirghill remained 

about the same as In 1947, but pumpage from a Ranney collector caused 

a decline of about 3 feet in water level In nearby wells tapping the shallow (100 to 150 feet) sands. Supply conditions remain critics1 In this 

area.

Records for well Ja-13, at Hodge (fig. 4 ), showed no marked change 

In water-level conditions from 1947.

Central Louisiana. A total of 132 measurements of water level was 

made in 16 wells In Grant, LaSalle, Natchitoches, and Rapides Parishes during 1948. Of these wells, 13 were measured at monthly intervels and 1, 

R-26 at Alexandria, was equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder. 

Records for .well R-26, which taps the 1,100-foot sand In the Alexandria 

area, show a decline of about 4 feet from the lowest level In 1947, but 

conditions are much less critical than in 1943 and 1944 (fig. 5 ).

Artesian ^pressures recorded for two wells, which tap an aquifer in the 

WIlcox formation In the vicinity of the Natchitoches well field about 5 

miles south of the city, show a slight rise during 1948. One of the nearby 

city wells taps this sand.

All supply wells of the town of Colfax now tap a sand and gravel aquifer of Pleistocene age in the uplands about 4 miles east of the town. Water levels in wells which tap this source indicate no serious decline since 

pumping began in April 1947.

Southwestern Louisiana.--During 1948, 1,231 measurements of water 

level were made in 181 wells in 12 parishes. Automatic water-stage recorders were operated on 17 additional wells. Measurements were made at erratic intervals in 24 wells, at weekly intervals in 10 wells, at monthly in 

intervals in 50 wells, and at quarterly intervals in 97 wells. Water levels 

fell to the lowest points on record for all observation wells in the area. 

Especially large declines were recorded in the Lake Charles ar"ea; levels in 

wells which tap the "200-foot" sand fell 8 feet below the 1947 low; in the 

"500-foot" sand, 13 feet below the 1947 low; and in the "700-foot" sand, 

14 feet below the 1947 low.

Wells in the northern part of Cameron Parish showed declines of 8 feet, 

and those along the Gulf of Mexico, near Cameron, declined 2.2 feet below 

the 1947 low. In Vermilion Parish, near the Intracoastal Canal, the decline 

was about 1 foot; at Erath it was 2.8 feet; and at Gueydan it was 6 feet 

below the 1947 low. In Jefferson Davis Parish, near Fenton, the decline 

was 6.5 feet; near Iowa Junction it was 13.5 feet; and in the vicinity of 

Welsh it was 4 feet below the 1947 low. North of Crowley, in Acadia Parish, 

the decline was less than 2 feet.

These declines resulted from the largest withdrawal on record for irrigation of rice in southwestern Louisiana, an estimated 590,000 acre-feet 

of water. This was due partly to a record irrigated acreage total, and 

partly to a severe mid-season drought. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate waterlevel fluctuations in selected key wells in the area.

Southeastern Louisiana. 205 measurements of water level or artesian 

pressure were made in 48 wells in 5 parishes in this area during 1948. In 

addition, automatic recorders were operated on 1 well in Orleans Parish, 

1 well in St. Charles Parish, and 11 wells in East Baton RTuge Parish.

Water levels in key wells tapping the "cooling water" sands in the 

Baton Rouge industrial area fell as much as 29 feet below the low of 1947, 

and were about the same as in 1944, the lowest on record. Well EB-22, 

about 700 feet deep, taps both the "400-foot" and "600-fooV sands. In 

July and August water levels in this well reached a low of 232 feet below

the land surface. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate conditions during the past 8 

years.

The water level in well Sc-6, at Norco in St. Charles Parish, reached 

a record low in 1948, about 73 feet below land-surface datum. The accelerated decline of 1947 appears to have run its course, although at the end 

of 1948 the level was more than 2 feet below that at the beginning of the 

year.

Records for well Or-25, which taps the "800-foot" sand in the New 

Orleans area, show a steady decline in water level since observation began 

in April 1945 (fig. 10). The Lowest level on record occurred in late July 

1948 and was 85 feet below the land surface 7 feet below the low of 1947.

No significant changes in the artesian pressures of flowing wells in 

southeastern Louisiana were apparent in 1948. Seasonal declines of a few 

feet during the irrigating season for strawberries and other truck crops 

were offset by recovery in the fall.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program In Oklahoma, which was begun In 1934, 

was continued In 1948 In cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey 

and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College.

In the Stlllwater Creek Basin, Payne County, where the first systematic 

Observations of water level In Oklahoma were made, the observation-well 

program was continued In cooperation with Dr. H. J. Harper, head of the 

Department of Agronomy of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. 

Dr. M. J. Pllce, also of the Department of Agronomy, who has served as 

voluntary well observer since 1940, made 100 measurements of water level 

In 1948.

Measurements In an Irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton Substation near Tlpton, Tlllman County, started In 1944, were continued In 

1948. The substation Is operated by the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and the United States Department of Agriculture.

The rest of the observation-well program was conducted In cooperation 

with the Oklahoma Geological Survey, and Includes observations in the 

Panhandle, begun In 1937; Cleveland County, begun in 1939; the North 

Canadian River Valley (Canadian, Blalne, Major, Woodward, ant Harper 

Counties) begun In 1940; Oklahoma and McClaln Counties, begun In 1943; 

Caddo County, begun In 1945; Grady, Bills, and Ouster Counties, begun in 

1946; Comanche, Jackson, Klowa, Roger Mills, and Washita Counties, begun 

In 1947; and Kay and Seminole Counties, begun In 1948. The locations of 

the observation wells are shown In figure 11.

Brief descriptions of the topography, geology and grouni-water conditions of the parts of Oklahoma covered by the observation-well program 

have been published In previous water-supply papers of this series as follows: Stlllwater Creek Basin, 777; the Panhandle, 840 and 8*5; Cleveland

Kiowa, Roger Mills, and Uashita Counties, 1099. Kay and Semlnole Counties 

are described in this report.

During 1948, a total of 1,316 tape measurements of water level was 

made in 184 wells, and automatic water-stage recorders were operated in 7 

wells. Altogether, 207 wells are listed on pages that folio-?, including 

21 that were added to the program during the year. Observations were discontinued in 2 wells after several measurements had been made, and in 10 

others without measurements having been made. Six wells not measured in 

1948 were retained. The number of wells on the active list at the end of 

1948 was 194.

The frequency of measurement in the individual wells ranged in 1948 

from once a year, as in most of the observation wells of the panhandle 

counties, to once a week, as in Cleveland County. Measurements were made 

monthly in the wells in Grady, Oklahoma, and Payne Counties, They were 

made monthly, also, in Caddo County until November, when several new wells 

were added and the frequency was changed to weekly. Most of the other 

wells were measured at irregular intervals.

An 8-page report entitled "Ground-water irrigation in tl 3 Duke area, 

Jackson and Greer Counties, Oklahoma," by Stuart L. Schoff, rns published 

late in 1948 as Oklahoma Geological Survey Mineral Report 18.

PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation in the State of Oklahoma in 1P48 ftas 31.88 

inches', which was 1.01 inches below the 57-year average. Statewide, it 

was 97 percent of the 57-year average; in the eastern division, it was 100 

percent; in the central division, 92 percent; in the western division, 91 

percent. Despite this near approach to normal, the precipitrtion "was 

very unevenly distributed through the State and throughout tl3 year. The 

panhandle counties and the extreme northwest, and local areas around Brick, 

Fairview, Geary, Okmulgee, and Vinita recorded annual amounts well above 

normal. In the southwestern part of the State, annual precipitation was 

only about 60 percent of normal. Much of south-central and southeastern 

Oklahoma also was deficient in rainfall for the year....The first 8 months
OKLAHOMA 75

of the year as a whole were wet, especially February, March, June, and July, 

the last' 4 months of the >year were extremely dry," '

At six stations In the panhandle counties for which records In 1948 

are complete, the precipitation ranged from 12.94 Inches (Regnler) to 25. 3T 

Inches (Lee Ranch, Guyaon), and averaged 20.78 Inches. Only two of these 

stations have records long enough to permit establishment of a "normal" 

annual precipitation. The departures from these normals were +7.08 Inches 

at Goodwell and -0.23 Inch at Kenton.

At 12 stations along the North Canadian River Valley from El Reno 

upstream to Supply the precipitation In 1948 ranged from 21.38 Inches 

(Oakwood) to 34.40 Inches (Geary), and averaged 25.90 Inches. Departures 

from normal precipitation at eight of these stations ranged from -6.00 

Inches at Fort Reno to +10.87 Inches at Supply.

In the vicinity of Oklahoma City and Norman, seven stations reported 

precipitation ranging from 27.24 Inches to 34.45 inches. At the three 

stations for which normal annual precipitation has been established, the 

departures from normal ranged from -5.98 Inches at Norman to +3.08 Inches 

at Oklahoma City.

In Payne County, two stations reported total precipitation in 1948 as 

31.64 and 32.78 Inches. The departure from normal at Stillwrter was -1*71 

Inches .

In the area underlain by the Rush Springs sandstone In Caddo and 

Grady Counties, the precipitation at three stations ranged from 19.49 

Inches (Carnegie) to 26. S4 inches (Chlckasha), and averaged 23*98 Inches. 

Departures from normal ranged from -1.60 to -9.79 inches and averaged 

-4.98 inches.

PUMPAOE

Records of ground-water pumpage In Oklahoma are best for the panhandle 

counties, from which reports of municipal pumpage for the larger towns are 

furnished regularly through the courtesy of the Southwestern Public Service 

Company. The total pumpage for seven towns In the Panhandle was about 13 

percent greater In 1948 than in 1947. The largest increase ras about 50 

percent at Felt. Pumpage Increased about 32.5 percent at Terhoma and 18.5 

percent at Ouymon. The quantity of water pumped for Irrigation and other 

uses by the Panhandle Agricultural and Mechanical College decreased about

43 percent, and this, coupled with small declines elsewhere, resulted in a

2

decrease of about 4 percent for the area as a whole. Including the estimated pumpage of industries not supplied with water from municipal systems 

and pumpage for irrigation, the total for 1948 Is 829,777,000 gallons, or 

about 2,546 acre-feet.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LBVBL 

Panhandle

Despite relatively dry weather during several preceding months, the 

amount of ground water stored in the principal water-bearing formations ol 

the panhandle counties (Beaver, Texas, and Cimarron) was grerter in May 

1948 than at any time during the 10 years of record.

Measurements of water level In 51 observation wells were made about 

the middle of May, and an-average, taking into account the relative importance of several different water-bearing formations, shows tl 't the water 

stood about 0.5 foot higher than In October 1947, when the Irst previous 

measurements were made, and more than 3 feet higher than in F-wember 1938, 

when the lowest level was recorded*

2 Total pumpage in 1947, as given in Water-Supply Paper 1099, is In 

error. Figures shown are for Texas County alone. Pumpage for entire area 

in 1947 was 868,073,000 gallons, or 2,664 acre-feet.
OKLAHOMA 77

Over the period of record, the rise in water levels has been greatest 

in Cimarron County, where, however, the average for May,1948 was 0.05 foot 

lower than in October 1947. This decline is small and does not indicate the 

beginning of a persistent decline. On the contrary, it is traceable to the 

relatively low stage of water levels in observation wells tapping the alluvium- This aauifer occurs in only a small part of the area, rnd accordingly 

is given small weight in the average, but the water levels in it declined an 

average of nearly 3 feet between October and May, offsetting an average rise 

of 0.73 foot in the observation wells on the upland plains. V'ater levels in 

wells in alluvium in Oklahoma, 1944-48, are shown in figure 12.

The average for Texas County, which has shown the smallest rise during 

the period of record, was 0.24 foot above the previous high level and a 

total of 2.55 feet above the record low of November 1939. In the observation wells on the upland plains, the average of the water levels was the 

highest yet recorded, but for wells along the major streams the average 

was intermediate between the highest and lowest on record.

The average for Beaver County was nearly half a foot above the pre-* 

vioua high level, recorded in April 1947. The average for wells In the 

northwestern part of the county exceeded the previous record by 0.31 foot, 

and the average for the southeastern part was 0.96 foot above the previous 

high level, but, as In the other two counties, the water levels in wells 

along the valleys were at intermediate stages.

The following tables summarize the average water levels for several 

groups of wells In the Oklahoma Panhandle. . They are a continuation of the 

averages published in previous water-supply papers of this series. An 

asterisk indicates that the water level is the highest observed during the 

period of record.

North Canadian River Valley

The observation wells representing ground water along tl <? North 

Canadian River Valley extend from the vicinity of Yukon, near the line between Oklahoma and Canadian Counties, upstream to Beaver. Some of them are 

close enough to the channel so that the water levels in them respond more 

or less promptly to stages of the river. In others, farther from the 

channel, the fluctuations are caused principally by variations In recharge 

to and discharge from the ground-water reservoir. In 1948 tl^ number of 

measurements,of water level ranged from 1 to 53 a well. Becruse of the 

diverse ground-water conditions represented and the wide range in the frequency of measurements in individual wells, the observed water-level fluctuations seem to follow no common pattern.

In three wells close to the channel, in Blaine and Major Counties, th» 

highest recorded water level for the year occurred on May 17. In two of 

these wells the lowest recorded level occurred on February 2?, but in the 

other it came on October 7.

In the two wells In Woodward County that are near the cl^nnel, the 

highest recorded level for the year occurred on February 23, but the lowest 

levels came 5 months apart May 17 and October 7.

The other two wells near the channel are in Canadian County. One is 

affected by nearby heavy pumping, and in it the highest recorded water 

level occurred in March and the lowest in January. In the other well, the 

highest water level came In October and the lowest in February*

In wells farther from the channel, the highest recorded water levels 

occurred as follows: In April, four wells; in May, one well; in July, one 

wellf in October, three wells. For the same group of wells, the lowest
80 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

recorded water levels occurred as follows: In February, six wells; in 

January, two wells; and in October, two wells.

Compared with the preceding year, the water levels In most of the 

wells were higher in October 1948 by amounts ranging from 0.07 foot to 

2.45 feet. In two wells, however, they were 0.31 foot and 1.43 feet lower 

than in 1947.

The most complete record of ground-water fluctuations In the alluvium 

of the North Canadian River is that of Beaver County well 5Z^, which was 

measured 53 times. Canadian County wells 1 and 06 were measured 14 times 

each, and Canadian 052a was measured 10 times. Hydrographs for Beaver 

County well 528 and Canadian County 06 appear in figure 12.

Canadian River Valley

In three wells tapping water in the alluvium of the Caradian River 

Valley, the lowest recorded stages occurred about November I, but the highest levels appear to have come first In upstream areas. Neer Union, in 

Canadian County, the highest recorded water level in a well measured monthly 

occurred in March. Near Norman and Lexington, which are 25 and 40 miles, 

respectively, farther downstream, the highest was in May (Cinadian 053,

Cleveland 14and 15 see fig. 12). The water levels ranged through 3.61, 4.51 and 

5.08 feet, and at the end of the year they were 0.80 foot, C.92 foot, and 

1.13 feet lower than in late December 1947, the average annvil decline being 0.95 foot.

Washlta River Valley

The five observation wells in the alluvium of the Washlta River Valley 

were not all measured with the same frequency, and therefore no simple 

average of water levels is possible. In a well near Cheyenr*, which is the 

well farthest upstream, the recorded highest level occurred In February and 

the lowest in October. The range of fluctuations for the year was 1.44 

feet, and the annual net change was a rise of 0.63 foot.

In a well near Clinton (Ouster 1) the highest recorded stage was in 

January, but higher stages during the spring may have passed unnoticed due 

to laok of measurements between February and October. The range in waterlevel fluctuation during the year was 1.56 feet, and the net annual change 

from October 1947 to October 1948- was a decline of 2.05 feet.
OKLAHOMA 81

In a well near Carnegie, the highest recorded water level occurred on 

May 4, the lowest occurred twice on September 25 and October 27 and the 

range for the year was 2.95 feet. In a well near Fort Cobb, the highest 

recorded water level came on March 30 and the lowest on July 26, the range 

for the year being 2.94 feet (fig. 12, Caddo 2). The net arnual changes 

In these two wells were declines of 0.25 foot (Port Cobb) and 1.34 feet 

(Carnegie).

In a well north of Chlckasha, the water level declined 2.84 feet from 

the Initial measurement of July 1 to December 28, with only on» small 

short-lived rise that was recorded on November 23.

Caddo County

Only one well tapping water In the Rush Springs sandstone of Caddo 

County was measured throughout the year. The water level In It fluctuated 

through a range of 2.79 feet, the highest recorded stage occurring on 

March 30 'and the lowest on June 30* Measurements begun late In March In 

four other wells tapping the same aquifer showed water-level fluctuations 

ranging from 2.25 to 3.59 feet. Measurements were begun, also, In nine 

 ells later In the year, and most of them were measured weekly during 

November and December, but the records are too short to permit drawing conclusions.

Although the Rush Springs sandstone Is considered a water-table aquifer, the fluctuations of ground-water level In It seem to be due In large 

measure to changes In barometric pressure, as Is true of artesian aquifers* 

During a 5-day period In Way, a mlcrobarograph was operated near Caddo 

County well 11, In which an automatic water-stage recorder provided a continuous record of the ground-water level. When converted to the amplitude 

of a barometer using water Instead of mercury and Inverted, the barometric 

fluctuations closely resemble the fluctuations of the hydrograph, except 

that the vertical range Is somewhat greater.

Likewise, the hydrog'raphs for wells 11 and 14 for the period December 

24-30 are strikingly similar even In small details, although the two wells 

are 8 miles apart. As no heavy pumping was In progress anywhere In the 

area and no precipitation had occurred for several weeks, changes In barometric pressure seem to offer the only plausible explanation for the close 

similarity of the hydrographs. The Rush Springs sandstone Is.very fine-
82 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CENTR'l, STATES

grained, and pressure changes doubtless move much more speedily down wells 

than through the Interstices of the rock. The result Is a pressure differential between the water in the well and that in the rock, which is 

equalized by the movement of a small quantity of water froir the well into 

the rock or vice versa. This movement appears as a rise or fall of the 

water level in the well. It Is probably significant that in well 14, where 

the depth to water is 38 feet, the fluctuations of water level were only 

about half as great as In well 11, where the depth to water is 54 feet. 

In other words, the greater the thickness of unsaturated ro".k over the 

water table the more the changes in barometric pressure are retarded and 

the greater the resulting affect on the observed water level.

Wells in Caddo County that tap wt.ter in alluvium are discussed under 

the heading "Washita River Valley."

Canadian County

Host of the observation wells in Canadian County tap w«ter in the 

alluvium of the North Canadian Rival1 . T^ey are considered separately from 

the group discussed elsewhere under the heading "North Canadian River 

Valley" because they would obscure the fluctuations in the less numerous, 

more widely spaced wells farther upriver.

Between late December 1947 and late April 1948 the water levels in 29 

3 

wells rose by amounts ranging from 0.10 foot to 3.98 feet, and in 5 wells

they declined from 0.04 to 0.58 foot. The average for 34 wells was a rise 

of 0,79 foot.

From April to October 1948, the water levels in 17 wells rose by amounts ranging from 0,02 foot to 1.25 feet, while in 18 wells they declined 

from 0.04 foot to 3.52 feet, the average change in 35 wells being a decline 

of 0.49 foot.

The final measurements for 1948 in most of the Canadian County wells 

were made in October. As comparable measurements were not made in the preceding October, the nearest approach to a net annual change is obtained by 

comparing them with the water levels in December 1947. During the approximately 10 months of this comparison, the net change of water level in 19 

wells was a rise ranging from 0.19 foot to 1.92 feet, while in others it 

was a decline ranging from 0.03 foot to 1.12 feet. The average change in

50 wells in the alluvium of the North Canadian River was a rise of 0.30 foot.

? Canadian County well 2 is not considered because the water level in 

It was affected by pumping In nearby wells of El Reno.
OKLAHOMA 83

The record for Canadian County well G-53 Is considered under the headIng "Canadian River Valley."

Cleveland County

Cleveland County well 1 penetrates a thin terrace deposit of low permeability that occasionally Is entirely dry, and It enters the underlying 

Henneaaey shale, which la the aole contributing aquifer when the water declines below the 14-foot level. The water level fluctuates In responae to 

natural cauaea, and promptly reflecta precipitation after the soil haa been 

saturated. The 48 meaaurementa made In the well during 1948 show a range 

of 6.80 feet In water level, but the final water level of the year, which 

alao waa the loweat for the year, waa only 0,01 foot lower th?n at the end 

of December 1947. The hlgheat recorded level occurred on Jun<3 30, when the 

water waa only 3.24 feet below the land surface, but It promptly declined 

2.12 feet In 9 daya.

In the eight observation wella tapping water In aandstonsa of the 

Garber and Wellington formationa, the fluctuatlona of water level during 

the year ranged from 3.29 to 49.73 feet and averaged 17.26 fe«t. Although 

minimum stages In all but one well occurred in autumn (October-December), 

the maximum atagea were distributed irregularly through the first 6 montha 

of the year. At the end of December the water levels in all of these wells 

ahowed net declinea for the year ranging*from 0»04 foot to 43.29 feet and 

averaging 11.57 feet. The largeat decline occurred In an unuaed well near 

one of the publlc-aupply wella of Noble, and the aecond and third largest 

were In wells near the center of heavy pumping In Norman. The leaat decline occurred In a well northweat of Norman near the edge of the area 

affected by heavy municipal pumping.

Fluctuatlona of water level In wella 14 and 15 are dlacuaaed under the 

heading "Canadian River Valley."

Comanche Count?

Only two meaaurementa of water level were made In Comanche County 

well 2, and these differed by only 0.09 foot. Meaaurementa have been 

dlacontlnued In well 1 becauae the well Is being pumped.

Bills County

In two wella on the uplanda of Ellla County, which tap water In 

Tertiary rocks, the water levels In October 1948 were 0.02 and 0.55 foot
84 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

higher than in the same month of the preceding year. In one well tapping 

water in the alluvium of Wolf Creek, the water level in October 1948 wae 

0.42 foot higher than on a comparable date in 1947.

Grady County

Water levels in from nine to 11 wells tapping water in the Rush Springs 

sandstone of Grady County were measured monthly in 1948. Tho average of 

the water levels reached the highest recorded stage for the year on March 

31, but was only 0.09 foot lower on August 30, Declining thereafter to 

the end of the year, it reached a stage on December 21 that was 2.34 feet 

lower than in December of the preceding year.

Fluctuations of water level in well 76, which taps water In alluvium, 

are discussed under the heading "Washlta River Valley."

Jackson County

In Jackson County well 1, which is in the alluvium of the North Fork 

of Red River, the water level In June 1948 was 0.74 foot lower than In 

June 1947.

Kay County

Kay County ia near the middle of the northern row of-Oklahoma counties, bounded on the north by the State of Kansas, on the east by Osage 

County, on the south by Noble County, and on the west by Grant" County. Thd 

Arkansas River flows southward through the eastern part of tl <? county. 

Approximately the southern half of its course in Kay County constitutes 

the boundary with Osage County. Salt Fork enters the county near the 

southwestern corner and Joins the Arkansas at the southeastern corner. The 

Chlkaskia River, a tributary of Salt Fork, drains approximately the western 

half of the county.

The bedrocks of Kay County are shale, limestone, sandstone and gypsum, 

of Pennsylvanlan and Permian age. These beds are mostly fine-grained and 

relatively Impermeable, and although they may yield enough wrter for stock 

and domestic purposes, they are not likely to yield supplies of water large 

enough for municipal or Industrial use. Gypsum is soluble, rnd where it is

present the ground water may contain high concentrations of calcium sulfate.

OKLAHOMA 85

Alluvium underlies the bottom lands along the major streams and in 

favorable locations will yield water freely to wells. .A well in the municipal well field at Ponca City, in the alluvium of the Arkanras River, is 

reported to yield 1,700 gallons a minute. Use of the water from alluvium 

is limited by high mineral content rather than by low yields. Areas of 

terrace deposits at Ponca City, at Blackwell, and north of Blackwell, may 

be moderately good aquifers but specific information about t*«>m ia lacking.

Measurements of water level were made weekly In Kay Courty well 1, 

which taps water in the alluvium of the Arkansas River, begirning early in 

February. The highest recorded stage for the year occurred on July 29, 

and the lowest on June 17, the difference being 6.79 feet (fig. 12). As 

the well is in the municipal well field of Ponca City, subject to effects 

of pumping in nearby wells, and itself is pumped at times, tta fluctuations 

of water level are, in part, a response to fluctuations in pumping. The 

long-term trends, however, indicate variations in recharge ard discharge.

Kiowa .County

Water levels in two observation wells In Kiowa County were measured in 

June. Compared with the stages recorded in June and July of the preceding 

year, the water levels in 1948 were 0.81 and 0.20 foot higher.

McClain County

In McClain County well 2, which taps water in the Hennersey shale, 

five measurements in 1948 show the highest stage occurring or July 1 and 

the lowest on February 27. The range in fluctuation was 8.4f feet.

Well 3 taps water in fine-grained sandstone tentatively correlated 

with the Duncan sandstone. The. two water-level measurements made in the 

well show a decline of 0.26 foot between April 9 and December 28.

Oklahoma County

Oklahoma County wells 1-4 tap water In the Garber and Wellington formations, and in all of them the water-level fluctuations caured by seasonal 

variations in pumping in nearby wells obscure those due to natural causes.

In well 4 the highest stage for the year was recorded or January 17; 

in wells 1 and 3 it was on May 24; and in well 2 it was on December 27. 

The lowest recorded stages show no unanimity. In well 4, thr lowest stage 

came on June 19} in well 2, July 2; In well 3, August 30; and in well 

1, December 27. The recorded fluctuations of water level rarged In
86 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESSIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

amplitude from 8.42 to 29.84 feet, and averaged 22.48 feet. The net change 

during 1948 was a decline of 3.42 feet In well 1 and 7.57 feet In well 4, 

but In wells 2 and 3 It was a rise of 7.91 feet and 0.84 foot, respectively. 

The average net change for the four wells was a decline of only 0.56 foot.

Wells 6-9 tap water in the alluvium of the North Canadian River. Peak 

levels were recorded In wells 7, 8, and 9 on March 30, but in well 6 the peak 

came on July 2 (see fig. 12). As well 6 was the only well measured In July, 

It Is probable that the January levels were not the true maximum stages In 

the other three wells- The lowest recorded levels for the year came on 

January 28 In wells 6, 7, and 8, but on November 26 In well 9 (see fig. 12). 

The amplitude of the fluctuations ranged from 3.22 to 4-62 feet and averaged 

3.82 feet, and at the end of the year all four wells showed a net rise 

ranging from 0-11 to 0.34 foot and averaging 0-21 foot.

Wells 10-12 are In a terrace deposit near Bethany that Is tapped for 

both municipal and Industrial water supplies, but the water levels In the 

observation wells respond principally to the shifting balance of natural 

recharge and discharge. In 1948 the water-level fluctuations ranged from 

0.89 foot to 3.44 feet and averaged 2.01 feet. In two of tie wells the net 

annual changes were declines of 0.13 and 0.17 foot, but In the other a 

negligible net rise of 0.01 foot was recorded. The average annual net 

change In the three wells was a decline of about 0.10 foot.

Fame County 

(jStlllwater Creek Basin)

The observation wells In Payne County were measured near the end of 

each month, ercept In February. The average of the water levels In seven 

wells fluctuated through a range of 1.38 feet. The highest stage for the 

year was recorded In July and the lowest stage was recorded twice, In 

January and December. At the end of the year the average was 0.53 foot 

lower than at the end of the preceding year.

Semlnole County

Semlnole County Is somewhat southeast of the middle of Oklahoma. It 

Is bounded by Okfuskee, Hughes, Pontotoc, and Pottawatonle Counties. Its 

northern and southern boundaries are the North Canadian River and the 

Canadian River, respectively, and It Is crossed from east to west by Little 

River and Wewoka and Salt Creeks.
OKLAHOMA 87

5 

As described by Levorsen, the bedrocks underlying the surface In

Semlnole County are shale, sandstone, conglomerate, and limestone, of upper 

Pennsylvanlan age. Beds of sandstone In the Vamoosa formation crop out in 

the eastern part of.the county and there receive recharge from precipitation. They dip westward and in the vicinity of the city of fgroinole the 

water In them is under artesian pressure. It Is of good quality and Is 

tapped by wells for municipal and industrial purposes.

Terrace deposits of Quaternary age overlie the Pennsylvrnian rocks in 

two small areas totaling several square miles each near Sasal"wa and Konawa 

In the southern part of the county, and alluvium underlies tire bottom lands 

along the main streams. The ground-water resources In these deposits have 

not been evaluated, although It is known that much of the ground water in 

the alluvium has been rendered unfit for most uses by the disposal of 

oil-field brines In drainage courses.

A water-stage recorder was operated in Semlnole County well 1 from 

February 19 to the end of the year. The well taps water In the sandstones 

of the Vamoosa formation, and the water level appears to be effected by 

pumping in the area, perhaps principally from the Seminole municipal wells. 

The daily range In water level generally has been 1 foot or more. The 

lowest daily water level, which Is the level tabulated elsewhere In this 

report, reached the highest stage for the year on June 22 and the lowest 

on September 28, the range being 5.04 feet. The water level at the end of 

December was 0.53 foot higher than at the beginning of the record.

Tlllman County

The water level In the irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton 

Substation, near Tipton, fluctuated through a range of 3.19 feet during 

1948, and at the end of the year was 2.54 feet lower than at the end of 

1947, The water level was highest on July 5, but a level only 0.01 foot 

lower had been recorded on March29. These high levels seem clearly to have 

been a response to relatively heavy precipitation in March (£..40 Inches) 

and June (6.08 inches). The precipitation in July and August totaled only 

3.46 Inches, and by August 16 the water level had declined 1»23 feet due 

to natural causes. Between August 17 and September 9, about 8*7 acre-feet

of water was pumped for irrigation, and by September 13 the w*ter level had

declined an additional 1.31 feet, September was without precipitation, 

October and November brought 1.42 inches and 0.33 inch, respectively, and 

December only a trace, the total for the 4 months being 1.75 inches. By 

November 22 the water level had declined 0.64 foot from the level recorded 

at the end of the pumping. Thereafter1 until the end of the year, the water 

level fluctuated through a range of only 0.02 foot, the lowest level being 

recorded on December 20.

INTRODUCTION

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

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

Water Engineers. The more or less periodical measuring of the water levels 

and artesian pressures in selected observation wells has been part of the 

program from the start of the study. As the ground-water investigations 

were started in new areas, the observation-well program was likewise extended, especially if there were considerable Quantities of ground water 

pumped in the areascr an indication that the water level was declining. 

During 1948, a total of 3,198 measurements was made in 893 wells in 44 

counties.

The water-level measurements made in connection with the program prior 

to 1948 have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 

909, 939, 947, 989, 1019, 1026, 1074, and 1099. Several miireographed progress reports have been issued which contain water-level measurements and 

discussions of the fluctuations of water levels in the Houston district, 

the irrigated area of the Southern High plains, and the Winter Oarden District.

PRECIPITATION

For the purpose of summarizing climatological data, the United States 

Weather Bureau has divided Texas into three parts as follows; Fastern division, comprising the area east of the 97th meridian; middle division, comprising the area between the 97th and 101st meridians; and the western 

division, comprising the area west of the 101st meridian.

The average yearly precipitation decreases from east to west; most of 

the eastern division is humid or semihumid, the middle division is from 

semihumid to semi-arid, and the western division is arid. For example, at

Bon Wier, in Newton County, in the eastern part of the State, the average

yearly precipitation from 1914 through 1947 was 55.95 Inches bit the annual 

precipitation ranged from 38.21 Inches In 1925 to 81.92 Inches In 1940; but 

at Kl Paso, In the extreme western part of the State, the avenge yearly 

precipitation from 1850 through 1947 was 9.16 Inches, the annual precipitation ranged from 2.22 Inches In 1891 to 21.81 Inches In 1856. A similar 

wlie range In annual precipitation occurs at most stations throughout the 

State.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN WATER LFVFLS IN 1948 

SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS REGION

In the Southern High Plains of Texas most of the heavily pumped wells 

are In the following 17 counties; Armstrong, Bailey, Brlscoe, Castro, 

Cochran, Crosby, Deaf Smith, Ployd, Hale, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbo-;k, Lynn, 

Farmer, Randall, Swlsher, and Terry.

Irrigation from wells In this region was started near Plalnvlew, Hale 

County, In 1911. By 1914 about 140 wells had been drilled In the three 

principal dlstrlcts--Plalnvlew, Hereford, and Muleshoe. From 1919 to 1926, 

the rainfall In most of the region was above the average and comparatively 

little Irrigation was practiced. Interest In Irrigation was revived during 

a period of several years of low rainfall that began In 1927, and, according 

to the available records, 296 wells were pumped to Irrigate ab">ut 35,000 

acres In 1934. Since that time the development has grown rapidly.

The following table gives the approximate number of wells In operation 

and the acres Irrigated from the start of Irrigation to December 31, 1948.

Since 1937 water-level measurements have been made periodically in 

observation wells in the High plains. Some of these wells are used for 

irrigation, some for domestic and stock purposes, and some are unused. 

Until 1940, measurements were made for the most part at Intervals of 1 to 

3 months. It was found, however, that the most dependable Information regarding net annual losses from or additions to storage In ground-water reservoirs In the pumping districts and closely adjacent territory can be 

obtained by comparing water-level measurements made each year In the late 

winter or early spring before the start of Irrigation.

The largest declines of water level are In four districts; PlalnvlewLockney, Lubbock, Muleshoe, and Hereford. The wells are more rlosely spaced 

In these areas than elsewhere.

In a few lightly pumped localities the water levels In 1948 were higher 

than they were In 1938 or 1947. The following table shows e summary by 

counties of the average net decline In water level from the spring of 1938 

to the spring of 1948 In 110 observation wells for which coirparable measurements are available.

WINTER GARDEN DISTRICT

Dtmmit, Haverlsx, and Zavala Counties --The irrigation of vegetables 

has been in progress in the district for about 30 years and, ii. more recent 

years, citrus trees, feed crops, and cotton liave been irrigated- Most of 

the irrigation wells draw water from the Carrizo sand which crops out in 

western Diirmit County, eastern Maverick County, and western end northern 

Zevala County. In some localities the water from irrigation wells is supplemented by surface water from the Nueces River and impounding reservoirs 

on Pendencia, Turkey, and Comanche Creeks. Surface water is more economical 

to pump than ground water, therefore the wells along the river and reservoirs 

are pumped very little or none during the wet years. Pumpage inventories 

that were made in the field Indicate that the amount of water withdrawn 

from wells was as follows: 30,000 acre-feet in 1929-30; 28,000 acre-feet in 

1937-38; and 58,500 acre-feet in 1947-48.

Water-level measurements have been made during July, August, and 

September, at the close of the season of least pumping when the effect of 

local pumping is at a minimum. The measurements made during May and August 

1948 show the effect of local and seasonal pumping; however, the September 

1948 measurements were made after a heavy general rain.

The following table shows the yearly measurements in 47 wells. Some 

wells are in the heavily pumped areas, whereas others are in the more lightly 

pumped areas, in the outcrop areas, or in areas remote from pumping. The 

table also shows the rise or decline in the wells between 1947-48, 1941-48, 

and 1930-48.

PALPURRIAS-KINGSVILLE R.FGION

For a number of years there has been some irrigation of citrus fruits 

and some winter garden vegetables In Jim Wells and Brooks Counties. Also, 

since 1940 there has been considerable development of oil in Brooks, Jim 

Wells, Duval, and Kleberg Counties. The rate of drilling oil wells has increased since 1942. A gasoline plant southwest of Premont, e naval air base 

southeast of Kingsvllle, and a celanese plant north of Kingsville were put 

in operation In 1943. These plants originally used large quantities of 

ground water. In 1946 the naval air base was closed, and in 1948 the celanese plant started using surface water for a part of Its sujvoly.

Water levels are usually measured in February each year when the least 

irrigation water is used and when the water levels are generally highest.
TEXAS 117

Duval County.--Most of the observation wells are on tt* outcrop area 

of the sands which are heavily pumped In Jim Wells, Brooks, and Kleberg 

Counties. The deeper wells In the southeastern part of the county show 

greater declines than the wells In the central and northerr part owing to 

the fact that they are nearer the centers of heavy punpage In the PremontPalfurrlas area and the water Is under artesian pressure. In 35 observation wells the average net decline In water level was 1.02 feet between 

1947 and 1948; the water level In 5 of these wells rose frcm 0.04 foot to 

2.42 feet while In 30 wells the water level declined from 0.03 foot to 4.09 

feet. In 31 wells the average net decline in water level was 2.44 feet 

between 1943 and 1948; In 8 of these wells the water levelr rose from 0.03 

foot to 5.66 feet, while In 22 wells the water level decllrnd from 0.20 foot 

to 15.97 feet.

Brooks County. In 19 observation wells drawing from one or more sands 

and ranging In depth from 25 to 1,000 feet, the average net decline In 

water level between 1947 and 1948 was 6-06 feet; rises of C.2 and 0.38 foot 

were observed In 2 wells and declines ranging from 0.55 foot to 16.40 feet 

were recorded In 17 wells. Between 1943 and 1948 the decline In water 

levels In 13 wells ranged from 1.26 to 45.01 feet and avereged 20.63 feet. 

Between 1932 and 1948 the decline In 12 wells ranged from ].16 to 56.64 feet 

and averaged 27.61 feet. Some of the wells were In an aree remote from 

heavy pumping.

Jim Wells County.--In seven shallow observation wells In the outcrop 

area In the western part of the county there was no net change In water 

level from 1947 to 1948. The water level In the same wells showed an average net decline of 2.05 feet from 1943 to 1948.

In 17 deep observation wells, mostly In the Premont-FrIfurrias area, 

there was an average decline of 7.18 feet between 1947 and 1948; the decline 

ranged from 0.68 foot to 15.39 feet. In 12 of these wells there was average decline of 23.92 feet between 1943 and 1948; the decline ranged from 

12.43 to 40.98 feet. There was very little decline prior to 1943.

Kleberg County. In 14 observation wells there was an average net decline In water level of 1.74 feet between 1947 and 1948. In 13 wells there 

was an average decline of 29.93 feet between 1932 and 1948, the decline 

ranging from 7.48 to 53.01 feet. In two Klngsvllle city wills, In the

central part of the city, the water levels rose 6 and 7 feet, probably 

caused by a shift of pumping to new wells in more remote parts of the city.

BALCONES FAULT ZONK

Observation wells that draw water from the Glen Rose limestone, Edwards 

limestone, Austin chalk, and younger formations, are along th-5 fault zone 

from Del Rio eastward through San Antonio and northward to Georgetown. The 

wells are in Val Verde, Kinney, Uvalde, Medina, Bexar, Ouadalupe, Comal, 

Hays, Travis, and Williamson Counties. The following table summarizes the 

changes in water level from November 1947 to August 1948.

The rise of water level In the Fdwards limestone wells in Val Verde

July 1948.

HOUSTON-GALVFSTON RFGION

The Houston district includes Harris County west of the San Jacinto 

River, and parts of Port Bend, Waller, and Montgomery Counties. Large 

quantities of ground water are pumped in the district from irdustrlal and 

municipal wells in the Houston-Pasadena area and from rice-Irrigation wells 

In the Katy area west of Houston. All of these wells draw tteir water 

supply from sands that crop out from 20 to 50 miles west, northwest, and 

north of Houston. About 230 observation wells In the district are measured
TPXAS 119

periodically at Intervals ranging from 1 month to 1 year. To simplify 

discussion the district Is divided Into three general areas the HoustonPasadena area, the Katy rice-growing area, the outcrop area of the waterbearing sands which supply the water, and the Galveston area.

The following table gives the estimated average dally withdrawal of 

ground water In the district In 1930, 1937, and 1940-48 inclusive.

a The rice wells are pupped only during the season that begins about 

May 1 and lasts approximately 130 days, and the purrpage in tl 3 Houston and 

Pasadena areas, although continuous, is much heavier in the summer than it 

is during the remainder of the year. Therefore, for convenience in compilation and In order that comparisons may be made, the total withdrawals In 

all three areas are given as dally averages for the entire year.

Houston-Pasadena area.--The preceding table shows that the average 

dally pumpage of ground water In this area Increased by 20 millions gallons 

from 1930 to 1937, remained about the same from 1937 to 1941, and then increased substantially year to year through 1948. The war Impact was responsible for most of the Increase from 1941 to 1945. At the end of the war, 

several plants that had been producing war goods were shut down or production was curtailed and there was a corresponding decrease In pumpage of 

ground water. This decrease was only temporary, however, and In 1946, 1947, 

and 1948 Industry became launched upon an even greater progrem of expansion 

which resulted in the record-breaking withdrawals of ground-water year by 

year. It was necessary to expand municipal well fields in order to meet the 

demands of the steadily Increasing population of the area, ard the pumpage 

for public supplies rose each year .to all-time high figures. Most of the 

ground water used In the area in 1948 was drawn from about 3]0 wells.
120 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CRNTRAL STATES

In the observation wells that are screened opposite the heavily pumped 

sands In the Houston-Pasadena area, the average loss In water level from 

the spring of 1942 to the spring of 1948 was 48.5 feet. The largest average loss, amounting to 58.8 feet In 20 observation wells, occurred In the 

eastern Houston and ship-channel areas, where there wan the greatest Increase 

In pumpage. In the northern, central, and western parts of Houston and 

west of the city, the loss In water level amounted to 41*6 feet between the 

spring measurements of 1942 and 1948. For the period 1947-48 the average 

decline In these localities was 8.0 feet as compared to declines of 9.7 feet 

during 1946-47, 7.5 foet during 1945-46, and 5.5 feet during 1944-45. The 

Increase In the rate of decline in the northern, central, and western parts 

of Houston ie mostly the reeult of the year-by-year increase in pumpage by 

the municipal well fields. To the north of Houston, there was an average 

drop in water level of 5.9 feet between 1947 and 1948, as compared with 4.5 

feet between 1946 and 1947; 5.2 feet between 1945 and 1946; ani 4.2 feet 

between 1944 and 1945. The all-time record-breaking average pipage of 

145 million gallons a day in 1948 hae caused the decline to continue at an 

accelerated rate, and spring measurements of 1949 are expected to be the 

lowest on record for the Houston-Pasadena area.

Observation wells screened in the lightly pumped sands to a depth of 

400 feet showed a decline in water level during the period 194?-48, but the 

rate of decline was considerably less than that in wells drawing from the 

deeper, more heavily pumped sands. The drop between spring me-?eurements 

for the period 1947-48 was an average of 2.7 feet. The average drop between 

1942 and 1948 was 19.8 feet. In 2 wells for which comparative measurements 

are available the declines from 1931 to 1948 were S5.4 and 30.1 feet.

Katy rice-growing area. Additional land has been put und«»r irrigation 

in this area each year since 1935 ae a result of high prices for farm products.. The estimated acreage irrigated by years is as follows: 47,600 acres 

In 1948; 44,900 acres in 1947; 37,530 acres in 1946; 34,320 acres in 1945; 

31,740 acres in 1944; 24,200 acres in 1940; 13,740 acres in 19^7; and 8,000 

acres in 1935. During the 10-year period from 1931 to 1941 there was a slow 

but persistent decline in water level in this area, the maximum being 20.3 

feet, the minimum, 5.4 feet, and the average, 11.3 feet in the 12 wells for 

which comparable records are available. Spring measurements in 1941 and
TEXAS 121

1942 for 44 observation wells showed an average rise during the year of 2.1 

feet, due to the small demands for Irrigation In 1941 and the unusually large 

amount of recharge from heavy rains from November 1940 to November 1941. 

Little net change occurred In 1942-43. Prom the spring of 1943 to the 

spring of 1948, an average net decline of 5.9 feet was recorded In 33 observation wells. For the 17-year period, 1931-48, the 11 wells for which 

comparable measurements are available showed an average net decline of 15.1 

feet.

The pumpage for rice Irrigation In 1948 amounted to an all-time recordbreaking average of 120 million gallons a day as a result of an abnormally 

dry season together with the Increased acreage fanned. The water levels 

conaecuently declined at a faster rate than In previous years, and It Is 

expected that spring measurements In 1949 will show the lowest stage on 

record for the area.

Outcrop area of the water-bearing sands. The water talle In the outcrop area of the aaulfers that supply the municipal, Industrial, and Irrigation wells of the Houston district WBS from 5 to 10 feet 1 Igher during 

the period 1941-46 than during the period 1938-40, and was ts high or higher 

than It was In 1931-34. An additional rise was recorded during 1946-47 as 

a result of the above-normal rainfall during the year. The data Indicate 

that during the period of record more water was contributed to storage In 

the outcrop area than moved down the dip toward the pumped rreas. The 

abnormally wet year from November 1940 to November 1941 and the above-normal 

rainfall of 1945-46 accounted for most of the recharge. During 1947 and 

1948 the wa£er levels dropped persistently. In 10 representative observation 

wells the drop from January 1947 to January 1948 ranged from about 2 feet 

to 19.2 feet and averaged 6 feet.

Galveston area.--Prior to 1944 there was a persistent drop In water 

levels In Galveston County as a result of heavy pumping In the Texas City 

Industrial area and In the Alta Loma well field of the city of Qalveston. 

The rate of decline decreased from 1944 to 1947, and at Texrs City the 

artesian pressure became almost stationary as the cone of depression 

caused by the pumping became flatter and larger each year- With the appreciable curtailment of pumpage In 1948, as a result of a surface-water supply 

being made available to the Texas City area, there has been some recovery In
122 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

County during 1948.
