WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1953

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN 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, SOUTHEASTERN 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 Alabama, begun in 1940 as a part of ground-water investigations in cooperation with the Geological Survey of Alabama, was continued in 1953 with additional cooperation with the Waterworks Board, city of Montgomery; the city of Huntsville; and 

the County Board of Revenue, Marengo County. Water-level studies were begun in the ore-mining 

section of Jefferson County as a phase of a mining hydrology project. Water-level data were 

collected from 19 wells, of which 13 are equipped with recording gages, 1 is measured weekly, 

and 5 are measured monthly. Figure 2 shows the location of projects and observation wells in 

the State. Ground-water data were furnished for 51 municipal, 47 industrial, 63 private, 

10 Federal, and 10 State requests during 1953. Detailed ground-water investigations were continued in Jefferson, Madison, Marengo, Tuscaloosa, Baldwin, and Wilcox Counties. Plans were 

completed for a detailed study in the Sylacauga area, Talladega County. A detailed report on the 

ground-water studies in Monroe County and the reconnaissance report on the Piedmont area are 

in course of preparation. In addition, four papers on various phases of the ground-water investitations in Alabama were presented at the annual meeting of the Alabama Academy of Science in 

March, and will be published in the Journal of the Academy. They are as follows: "Water-level 

fluctuations in observation wells in Alabama caused by the Kamchatka earthquake on Nov. 4, 1952, " 

by P. E. LaMoreaux; "Correlation of geologic structure with ground-water availability in the 

Huntsville area, Alabama, " by H. T. Downing, Jr.; "Use of a water-level contour map in selecting 

test-hole sites in the Huntsville area, Alabama, " by G. T. Malmberg; and "Construction of a 

geologic fence diagram for the Monroeville, Ala., project, " by J. B. Ivey.

Pre cipitation

Precipitation, mostly rainfall, is reflected in the fluctuation of water levels in water-table 

wells within a few days or a few hours in some wells. The most rain falls in the late winter and 

early spring months, a period of maximum recharge to the ground-water reservoir. Intermittent 

heavy rains usually fall during July, August, and September, owing to the influence of the Gulf of 

Mexico. These rains are sometimes torrential and contribute some recharge to the ground-water 

reservoir, although a large part of the water runs off in streams. Records from the U. S. 

Weather Bureau show that, except for March and June, rainfall was normal during the first 6 months 

of 1953. Rainfall was above normal in July and well distributed throughout the State, but during 

August and November most of the State suffered a severe drought. The most rainfall in 70 years 

of record fell in December with an average of 10. 4 inches for the State, 5.37 inches above normal. 

Temperatures over 100 °F. were recorded in the State during 5 consecutive months, May through 

September. The lowest temperature, +8°F., was recorded at Scottsboro on December 18. 

Temperatures ranged from 2. 4° below normal to 3. 3° above normal throughout the year.

Pumpage

Pumpage records by the Selma Waterworks during 1953 show an average of 2. 7 million 

gallons per day. The water level in the observation well at Selma has declined gradually for the 

past 5 years. At Foley, Baldwin County, observation well Bal-1 was correlated with pumpage in 

the wells of the Riviera Utilities Company during 1953. Normal municipal use at Foley averaged 

7. 8 million gallons per month. Maximum pumpage is during potato-washing season in May and 

June and ranges from 14 to 15. 5 million gallons per month. Total pumpage in the Montgomery 

area is recorded for each pumping station, but no records are kept for individual wells. During 

1953 an average of 5 to 10 mgd was pumped through the Day Street station. The Court Street 

station pumped an average of 5 mgd. Declining water levels in the area prompted the detailed 

ground-water study to evaluate the present well fields and to collect data for locating new sources 

of supply.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations can be correlated with recharge or lack of recharge from rainfall 

withdrawal by pumping, natural flows from springs and flowing wells, barometric influence, 

surface loading, earth and ocean tides, and occasionally earthquakes. Rainfall is reflected in 

shallow water-table wells and springs by rising water levels or increased spring flows immediately

following precipitation and by decline in water levels during periods of no rainfall. In deep wells 

the effect of rainfall on the water level usually lags days orweeksafter precipitation. Excessive 

decline in water level is being experienced in some sections of Alabama because of concentration 

of wells and the uncontrolled flow of wells in certain artesian basin areas. Many small communities and private well owners using water-table wells suffered water shortages during the drought 

of August through November 1953. Graphs from recording gages on some artesian nonflowing 

wells show the barometric influence on water levels. The fluctuations are usually small, rarely 

exceeding 0.1 foot in amplitude in a daily cycle. In the Guin and Huntsville areas, water-level 

fluctuations in wells have been correlated with earthquakes. Water levels in these wells of known 

sensitivity to earthquakes are correlated closely with notices of Preliminary Determination of 

Epicenter, published by the U. S. Department of Commerce.

Geologically, the State may be divided into the Piedmont and Paleozoic provinces, and the 

, Coastal Plain (see fig. 2 ). The Piedmont is characterized by metamorphic schist and gneiss 

I injected by younger igneous rocks. Wells in the area yield generally less than 10, but rarely 

more than 50 gpm. Only about 10 percent of the municipalities in the Piedmont area use ground 

water, but most of the private farm supplies are taken from wells and springs. In some areas, 

however, large quantities are developed from limestones, marbles, and dolomites. During 1953 

a municipal well drilled for the city of Sylacauga in the Sylacauga marble member was pumped 

900 gpm. In addition, two industrial wells in Sylacauga have reported yields of over 200 gpm. 

Water levels in well Elm-1, at Eclectic, fluctuate mainly from recharge and barometric influences. 

The water level in the well was fairly stable until February when it rose gradually, fluctuating 

only slightly until May. The level declined until November when the low for the year was recorded, 

and then rose gradually from November to the end of the year. Slight fluctuations, probably 

barometric, have an average amplitude of 0.1 foot and complete a cycle every 16 hours.

In northern Alabama, important sources of ground water are the sandstone, limestone, chert, 

and dolomite formations of Paleozoic age. Ground water occurring in these rocks along bedding 

planes, joints, fractures, and in solution channels, furnishes 60 percent of the municipal, 

industrial, and all private water supplies. Col-1 is an index well in the Sheffield-Muscle Shoals 

area of the Tennessee River drainage basin, an area of rapid industrial expansion requiring large 

amounts of water. Levels in this well rose to the high for the year in February. The level 

fluctuated only slightly from nearby pumping and rainfall and declined gradually until the low for 

the year was recorded in December. Water-level fluctuations in water-table well Cul-1, an index 

well on the Tennessee River-Warrior River drainage divide, can be correlated with rainfall and 

seasonal pumping in the area. The water level rose to the high for the year in March, then 

gradually declined until the low for the year was recorded in November. The water level 

rose gradually the rest of the year. The water level is influenced by pumping from a well at a 

nearby cotton oil mill during the late fall and early spring. The water level in water-table well 

Jac-1, established as an index well by TVA in the Scottsboro area of the Tennessee River drainage 

basin, can be correlated closely with rainfall. The high water level occurred in late winter and 

the lows were recorded in late fall. Rainfall and barometric influences are reflected in artesian 

well Mar-1 at Guin. This well recorded the Kamchatka earthquake in November 1952. The water 

level rose gradually, fluctuated slightly until the high was recorded in May, then declined until 

November, after which it rose steadily for the remainder of the year.

In the southern half of Alabama, in the Coastal Plain area, water-bearing sand, gravel, 

and porous limestone are interbedded with chalk, marl, and impervious limestone. These gently 

south-dipping water-bearing beds supply water for most municipal, industrial, and all private 

supplies in the area. Artesian wells, both flowing and nonflowing, are common and are utilized 

by many farmers, municipalities, and industries. Many of these wells have natural artesian flows 

and are allowed to flow unchecked whether in use or not. More and more flowing wells are being 

developed owing to simple construction and ease of operation, resulting in general declines of 

water level in some of the artesian basins. In addition to the flow of wells, concentrated pumping 

has caused a general decline in water level in some places. This has been noted in Selma, 

Montgomery, Mobile, and possibly Dothan. Artesian well Bal-1 is an index well in the municipal 

well field at Foley. Daily fluctuations from pumpage are recorded, but no fluctuations can be 

correlated with either daily raimall or barometric measurements. The greatest withdrawal is 

during the potato-washing season in May and June. Owing to pumping, the water level fluctuated 

from the low for the year on May 28 to the high recorded on December 5. A hydrograph (see 

fig. 3) shows the correlation between pumping and the water level in the well field. Water levels 

in semiartesian well Bib-1 at Centerville can be correlated closely with rainfall and to some 

degree with barometric changes. The highest water levels were recorded in February and the 

lowest in November. Chi-3 at Clanton is an index well near the contact of the sands and gravels 

of the Coastal Plain with the metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Piedmont area. Rainfall and 

barometric influences are reflected in the water level in well Chi-3 within 24 hours. High water 

levels occur in early spring and the lows in late fall.

The water level in artesian well Dls-2 in the city of Selma well field reflects the heavy 

pumping in that area. A hydrograph (see fig. 4) shows the gradual declining water level in the 

area and the relationship between water level, pumpage, and precipitation. Pumpage ranges 

from 1. 5 mgd in February to 3. 5 mgd in August and September. Owing to changes in the rate of 

pumping, the water level is the highest in late winter and early spring and lowest in midsummer

and early fall. Artesian wells Gre-2 and Gre-3 are index wells in the Tombigbee River artesian 

basin. Fluctuation of the water levels in both wells is seasonal and ranges from 1. 5 feet in 

Gre-3 to 1. 8 feet in Gre-2. Gre-3 is in the city of Eutaw well field but pumping is not observed 

in the water-level fluctuation. The water level in artesian well Mac-1 at Tuskegee, developed in 

sands of the Tuscaloosa formation in eastern Alabama, fluctuates mainly from pumping in the 

area. Seasonal water levels are lowest in late winter and highest in early summer. Pumping is 

practically continuous in the area, and major fluctuations result from occasional stopping and 

starting of pumps. Water levels can be correlated closely with rainfall and barometric influence 

in water-table well Mon-3 at Monroeville. This is an index well in the shallow sand and gravel 

of Miocene and Pliocene age and limestone of Oligocene and Eocene age. From a low in January 

water levels rose, fluctuated slightly to a high in July, then declined slowly for the remainder of 

the year. Artesian wells Mtg-1, Mtg-2, and Mtg-3 are index wells in the heavily pumped well 

fields at Montgomery. Precipitation causes the seasonal water-level trends in these wells, 

modified by detailed fluctuations of the water level in response to pumping. Mtg-1, in the old 

northeast well field, is developed in sands of the Tuscaloosa formation; well Mtg-2, in the west 

well field, is developed in sands of both the Eutaw and Tuscaloosa formations; and well Mtg-3, in 

the west well field, is developed in sands of the Eutaw formation. During the spring the water 

levels in these wells fluctuate only slightly until the latter part of March, then decline gradually 

until lows are reached the latter part of August. The water level then rises slowly and fluctuates 

slightly until the end of the year. Semiartesian well Pic-3 in the Reform area has a seasonal 

water-level fluctuation, the highs occurring in late winter and spring and the lows in the summer 

and early fall. The water level in artesian well Pic-4 in the Aliceville area in the Tombigbee 

River artesian basin fluctuates seasonally. This well flows during the late fall and spring; however, pumping in nearby wells in the summer for a swimming pool causes a lowering of the water 

level, and sometimes a cessation of flow. Water levels are measured periodically in artesian 

well Wil-1 at Camden, an index well developed in sands of the Ripley formation. The high water 

levels in the Camden well occur during the early spring and late fall, the lows during the summer.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgment is made of the assistance of Mr. G. W. Cowham, Superintendent of the 

Waterworks, city of Montgomery, for supplying pumpage data on the Montgomery well fields. 

Messrs. J. O. Rhodes, Superintendent, Selma Waterworks, and Guy £. McAliley, Superintendent, 

Riviera Utilities, Foley, compiled pumpage data in addition to their regular duties as gage observers.

Well-Numbering System 

Wells are listed numerically within each county. The letters of the prefix are derived 

from the county names. For instance, well 3"in Monroe County is Mon-3, and well 1 in Montgomery County is Mtg-1.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Florida is part of a cooperative investigation which was 

begun in some sections of the State as early as 1930. During 1953 these investigations were 

conducted in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey; with Dade, Hillsborough, Manatee, 

Pinellas, Polk, and Seminole Counties; and with the cities of Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, 

Miami, Miami Beach, Naples, Pensacola, and Sanford. At the close of 1953 the program included 190 wells, 108 of which were equipped with recording gages. See figures 5 to 9. 

During 1953 a report of an investigation in Pinellas County was completed for publication and a 

report on the Foley area of Taylor County was prepared and approved by the Director for release 

to the open file.

Precipitation

According to the summary of the U. S. Weather Bureau, 1953 was the second wettest year 

in Florida since records were begun in 1891. The statewide average of 68.2 inches was 14.7 

inches above the normal. Precipitation was slightly above normal in the northern half of the 

peninsula during January and February. During March, precipitation was a little below normal, 

but rainfall in April was the heaviest since 1933. The driest May since 1941 was reported on a 

statewide basis, but during the remainder of the year, precipitation was generally above normal 

at most stations. Precipitation, statewide, was the highest in December since 1940, averaging 

more than twice the normal amount in the northern and middle sections of the State. Climatic 

conditions appeared particularly favorable for recharging the Floridan aquifer during the months 

of April, August, and December, and moderate recharge doubtless occurred in most of the recharge area during the months of June, September, and October.

Total precipitation and departures from normal for selected stations in the State are given 

in the following table:

Pumpage

The average daily pumpage from the city of Miami well fields during 1953 was 59.9 million 

gallons, 5.3 million gallons of which were obtained from the new southwest well field near well 

G551. The heaviest pumpage occurred during March when the daily average was 74. 8 million 

gallons. The average yearly water level for well S68 in the Miami Springs well field was 0.9 

foot lower than that for well S19, on the outer edge of the field, which indicates the depth and 

areal extent of the cone of depression caused by pumping. Two cones of depression of about equal 

size are formed in this well field. Well G3 is within one cone and well S68 is near the center of 

the other.

24 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Occurrence of Ground Water

The source of water for most cities, industries, farms, citrus groves, and rural homes 

in Florida north of Lake Okeechobee is from a highly productive and extensive aquifer consisting 

of the Ocala limestone and associated limestones and dolomites of Eocene, Oligocene, and 

Miocene ages. This aquifer is referred to as the Floridan aquifer after a name suggested by 

Garald G. Parker of the U. S. Geological Survey. Over most of this area, the Floridan aquifer 

is overlain by a thick section of younger deposits, including relatively impermeable beds which 

confine the water under artesian pressure. The water in the aquifer is under sufficient pressure 

to rise above the land surface over roughly one-half the area of the State, including a band about 

20 miles wide along the east coast, all of the area south of Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee 

River valley, and other areas. Water from the Floridan aquifer is too highly mineralized for 

most uses in a narrow area along the east coast, from St. Augustine south, and in southern 

Florida south of the vicinity of Lake Okeechobee. In these areas and in Escambia and Santa 

Rosa Counties, where the Floridan aquifer is either absent or occurs at relatively great depth 

beneath the surface, the principal source of water is shallow deposits generally less than 200 

feet thick. These deposits are composed of limestone, sand, shelly sand, and coquina, and range 

in age from late Miocene to Pleistocene. Among the aquifers developed in these deposits is the 

Biscayne aquifer in southeastern Florida, one of the most highly permeable aquifers in the world. 

Generally, however, the shallow aquifers are less permeable and less productive than the 

Floridan aquifer.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level and artesian-pressure changes in the Floridan aquifer depend principally 

upon the amount of recharge entering the aquifer and upon withdrawals from wells and natural 

discharge. The Floridan aquifer is recharged throughout a large area beginning in southern 

Polk County and extending northward through Marion and Alachua Counties. This area expands 

to the north where it includes most of the area in northern Florida adjacent to southern Georgia 

and southeastern Alabama. Extremely favorable recharge conditions over most of the recharge 

area during August and September produced some of the highest water levels in the recharge 

areas during September and October that have been recorded. The water level in Pasco County 

well 13 was the highest on September 18 since records were begun in 1936, and the water level in 

Putnam County well 29 also stood at the highest point since measurements were started in 1936. 

The highest water levels for the period of record also occurred in some wells in Hillsborough and 

Polk Counties during early October. The water level in Jackson County well 23 was the highest 

on May 8 since measurements were started in 1950. Water levels in a large number of observation wells reached the lowest stage on record during the months of May and June. This was 

especially prominent in the northeastern part of the State where water-level records showed a 

decline resulting from increased withdrawal of ground water by cities and industries. \Yater 

levels were also at record-breaking lows at some time during the year, usually during May, 

June, or early July in some areas remote from heavy pumping. These lows must be attributable 

to either local weather anomalies, or to regional lowering of water levels caused by large increases in the amount of ground water used in certain sections of the State. Among the areas in 

which record low water levels occurred during the latter part of May were Duval, Nassau, Clay, 

Polk, and St. Johns Counties.

Water levels in wells in western Florida were generally higher at the end of 1953 than at 

the end of 1952, except in Oka loos a and Gadsden Counties where moderate declines occurred. 

Net rises in water levels ranged from a fraction of a foot in Walton County to as much as 

11.1 feet in Jackson County. The large rise of water levels in Jackson County was due mostly 

to heavy precipitation during December, which was about 11 inches above normal, or a total of 

16 inches. Net declines in Okaloosa County ranged from 0.3 foot to as much as 1.3 feet for the 

year, probably as a result of increased withdrawals at the military installations in the areas in 

which the observation wells are situated. The water level in Gadsden County well 6 declined 

3.2 feet during the year, as a result of increased pumping by the city of Quincy. Water levels 

in wells in Leon County fluctuated considerably during the year, as a result of changing pumping 

requirements. At the end of the year, water levels were generally higher than at the beginning 

of the year, because of the above-normal precipitation in this and surrounding areas. The water 

level in Escambia County well 45 continued its progressive decline, in response to the pumping 

in the nearby well field of the St. Regis Paper Co. However, due to the above-normal precipitation and consequent increase in recharge, the decline was at a reduced rate. The water level in 

this well has declined more than 34 feet since records began in 1940. The water level in Gulf 

County well 30 rose over 14 feet during the year, owing to the cessation of heavy pumping from 

the St. Joe Paper Co. well field in nearby Port St. Joe. The company is believed to be now using 

surface sources for most of its water needs.

After the dry weather in May and June, water levels in wells in the northern half of the 

peninsula generally rose, as a result of the above-normal precipitation in the recharge areas, 

and also to some extent to the reduced demands of municipalities. Net rises in the northeastern 

part of the State were generally 1 to 2 feet, but water levels in the Fernandina area of Nassau 

County generally declined, owing primarily to increased ground-water utilization of municipalities and industries in the Fernandina area. The maximum declines recorded during the year 

at Fernandina were 14.6 feet in Nassau County well 22, and 15.8 feet in well 34. The water

level in these wells stood at the lowest level at the end of the year since records began in 1939. 

Elsewhere in Nassau County, water levels declined varying amounts, with a few small net rises 

recorded in areas fairly remote from pumping. The water level in Orange County well 47 

responds quickly to local rainfall. The level in this well rose 8.7 feet during the year, reflecting 

the 14.6 inches of excess precipitation reported for the year. The larger part of this rise 

occurred in November and December, during which rainfall totaled about 5 inches above normal, 

and evaporation and transpiration losses were probably at a minimum. Water levels in the central 

and northern parts of the Florida peninsula generally rose in response to the increased precipitation in the recharge areas, with average net rises of 2 feet or more recorded in Taylor, Clay, 

Marion, Lake, Citrus, Orange, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties. Lesser net rises in water 

levels were recorded for wells in Wakulla, Duval, Saint Johns, Flagler, Volusia, Brevard, and 

Pinellas Counties. The general statewide net rise in water levels for the year can be attributed 

to the above-normal precipitation reported for the year at practically all weather stations in the 

State. Water-table fluctuations in south Florida and in the Kissimmee Valley area are closely 

related to rainfall. The distribution of rainfall during the year will vary both in time and amount, 

but generally the highest precipitation occurs from June through October and correspondingly 

this is usually the period of high water levels. Average ground-water levels in south Florida in 

1953 ranged from about normal to 1. 7 feet above normal, except in coastal areas of Palm Beach 

County where water levels were a few tenths of a foot below the average for the period of record. 

The greatest gains occurred west of the coastal ridge along the lower east coast, and in the 

southern Kissimmee Valley, where water levels were the highest of record in some wells. As 

compared to 1952, the average water levels in 1953 were generally higher except in a few localized 

areas. Figures 10,11,12, and 13 show graphically the maximum, the minimum, and the mean 

average monthly water levels for the period of record before 1953 and the average monthly water 

levels for 1953 in selected wells in southern Florida.

Acknowledgments

The water-level measurements for Leon County well 5 were furnished by the city of 

Tallahassee. Measurements for well S196, in Homestead, were made by personnel of the University of Florida Sub-Tropical Experiment Station.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in Florida are generally numbered consecutively by counties. Exceptions 

to this are wells having numbers with a letter prefix or suffix. In Broward and Dade Counties, 

the letter prefixes G, S, and F, denote U. S. Geological Survey wells, supply wells, and fire 

wells, respectively. In Polk, Orange, and Escambia Counties, a letter suffix denotes a shallow 

well near a deeper well having the corresponding number of the shallow well.

Well Descriptions and Wacer-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.

GEORGIA

By Robert L. Wait and Lucy H. Cunningham

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Georgia, begun in 1938, in cooperation with the State 

Department of Mines, Mining and Geology, was continued in 1953. Measurements were made in 

101 wells in 27 counties. Recording gages were maintained on four wells throughout the year; 

in June a fifth recording gage was installed on Chattahoochee well 9, on Fort Benning military 

reservation. Figures 14, 15, and 16 show the location of observation wells.

Precipitation

According to U. S. Weather Bureau records, precipitation for 1953 was 111 percent of 

normal for the State as a whole, the seventh wettest year on record. Precipitation was only 

slightly above normal for the northern portion of the State, but in the central and southern portion 

was more than 120 percent of normal. During the months of January, Feoruary, April, May, 

June, July, September, and December, rainfall was above normal, September being the wettest 

for that month since 1929, and the month of December the wettest on record. March, August, 

October, and November were deficient in rainfall, October being the driest for that month since 

1943.

Pumpage

Water levels in three areas along the Atlantic Coast of Georgia are affected by heavy 

pumping. These areas include the cities of Savannah, Brunswick, and St. Marys, which are the 

sites of the largest withdrawals of ground water both for industrial use and for public water supply. 

In the Savannah area this removal of ground water has resulted in a cone of depression extending 

over 20 miles in all directions. Data are not available at presen: to determine the extent to which 

water levels have been lowered in other areas of intensive pumping.

The metered pumpage reported by the two largest water users in the Savannah area was 

31.98 million gallons per day or 98.11 acre-feet per day. At Brunswick, where three users 

reported, the metered pumpage amounted to 54.80 mgd or 168.13 acre-feet per day. At St. Marys 

only one user, St. Marys Kraft Corp., consumed 12.49 mgd or about 38.31 acre-feet per day. 

The daily average metered pumpage of these three areas is shown in the accompanying table.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the Piedmont area of Georgia most wells are water-table wells. Here water levels 

fluctuate rapidly in response to rainfall as compared with water levels in artesian wells in the 

Coastal Plain. The location of wells with respect to topography, the type and thickness of residual 

cover overlying the bedrock, the type and the amount of fracturing all influence fluctuations of 

water levels in this province.

116 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

In the Coastal Plain, artesian conditions prevail. Areas of recharge are usually many 

miles distant from the wells. The effect of rainfall either at the recharge area, or locally, may 

not be observed immediately. The wells, however, respond rapidly to nearby pumping or heavy 

pumping at a distance. In areas near the coast, tidal fluctuations may also be observed in artesian 

wells. Dug wells in the Coastal Plain are often water-table wells, which respond rapidly to local 

rainfall. An example of this was recorded at Chatham 343, at the U. S. Plant Introduction Station, 

12 miles southwest of Savannah, on July 28 when a 5.36-inch rain produced a 4.31-foot rise in 

water level. Well 343 is in sediments of Pleistocene and Recent age. No July 28 records are 

available on artesian wells, but it is doubtful that any significant change would have been noted. 

New highs were recorded in two wells in the Piedmont area, probably the result of above-normal 

local rainfall during 1953. New lows were recorded in 40 wells in 16 counties in the Coastal 

Plain. All of these wells are utilizing the Ocala limestone. The cause of these record lows is 

increased pumpage at Savannah and Brunswick and deficient rainfall since 1950.

Water levels for December 1953, as compared with December 1952, in the northern part 

of Chatham County and southern Effingham County show declines ranging from 0.40 foot for 

Effingham well 20 to 3.18 feet for Chatham well 131. In northern Bryan County, well 144 declined 

0.49 foot as compared with the year-end measurement for 1952. In the industrial area near 

Savannah, year-end level ranged from 1.60 feet (Chatham 30) to 4.00 feet (Chatham 63) lower 

than in 1952. On Tybee Island, declines of 2.23 feet to 4.28 feet were recorded for wells 123 

and 279, respectively. Declines in the southern part of Chatham County ranged from 1.71 feet in 

well 213 to 4.20 feet in well 314, which is near the center of the cone of depression in the 

Savannah area. In Liberty and Mclntosh Counties, water levels showed slight declines for the 

most part, although rises occurred in several wells in both counties. In Glynn County, all wells 

except one declined. These declines ranged from 0.15 foot in well 63 to 6.85 feet in well 13, the 

greatest decline being nearest to the center of pumpage at Brunswick. In Camden County, declines 

were recorded in all but one well, again the greatest declines occurring nearest the heavily 

pumped portion of the area. Wells in Charlton, Ware, Evans, Screven, and Bulloch Counties 

showed declines of less than 1 foot as compared with 1952. In Wayne, Pierce, Long, Appling, 

and Montgomery Counties, levels were slightly higher than in December 1952, ranging from 

0. 54 foot to 1.16 feet higher.

Acknowledgments

Measurements for Baker County well 25 were made by Emory University Field Station as 

part of the hydrologic data collected in connection with its research on malaria control. Measurements for Chatham County well 46 were furnished through the courtesy of Union Bag and Paper 

Corporation. Measurements in Chatham County well 343 were made by the Plant Introduction 

Station, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Well-Numbering System

In Georgia wells are numbered serially within each county and counties are listed 

alphabetically.

KENTUCKY

By M. I. Rorabaugh and E. A. Bell

Scope of Water-Level Program

The statewide observation-well program, begun in 1949, was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the State Agricultural and Industrial Development Board. The water-level program at 

Louisville, begun in 1943, in cooperation with Jefferson County and the city of Louisville, has 

been made a part of the State program. The water-level program is a part of a comprehensive 

investigation of the ground-water resources of the State. This program included reconnaissance 

surveys and water-use surveys of the major physiographic units of the State (see fig. 17), development and operation of a network of observation wells, and detailed investigations in the 

Paintsville, Prestonsburg, Henderson, Hopkinsville, Covington, Paducah, Scottsville, and 

Louisville areas. During 1953, periodic measurements were made in 38 wells, and recording 

gages were maintained on 46 wells. (See figs. 17 and 18). Data for observation wells operated 

in connection with detailed area investigations are not included in this report, but will be published in hydrograph form in the project reports. Reports containing water-level data were published or approved for open file release during 1953 as follows: Geological Survey Circular 240, 

"Geology and ground-water resources of the Covington-Newport alluvial area, Kentucky, " by 

Eugene H. Walker; Geological Survey Circular 276, "Water resources of the Louisville area, 

Kentucky and Indiana, " by M. I. Rorabaugh, F. F. Schrader, and L. B. Laird; and Water-Supply 

Paper 1257 (in course of publication), "Geology and ground-water resources of the Paintsville 

area, Kentucky," by J. A. Baker.

Precipitation

During 1953, weather conditions in Kentucky were unusually dry and warm. The outstanding feature was a prolonged period of deficient rainfall lasting from June through the end of the 

year. According to the U. S. Weather Bureau, total rainfall of 5.10 inches was the lowest of 

record for the period August through November. For the year, total precipitation of 36. 53 inches 

was 9.07 inches below the 65-year average. At Louisville (city station) total precipitation for 

the year of 31.16 inches was 10. 44 inches below the 1921-50 normal of 41.60 inches.

Pumpage

In the Louisville area total pumpage in 1953 was 30.9 million gallons per day (mgd), of 

which 1.6 mgd was returned through recharge wells. The net withdrawal of 29. 3 mgd was 

0. 3 mgd greater than in 1952. Natural recharge was 7. 3 mgd less than net pumpage. Figure 19 

shows pumpage since 1937 and natural recharge since 1943. It also shows the increased pumpage 

during 1941-43, resulting from the rapid expansion of industry during the war. Conservation 

measures, including artificial recharge, redesign of equipment, recirculation, installation of 

cooling towers, and use of city water, resulted in reduced use of ground water in 1944 and 1945. 

Following the war, a sewer tax based on water use resulted in additional conservation measures. 

This illustration shows large withdrawals from storage in 1943 and 1944. The excess of recharge 

over pumpage in 1945 was primarily the result of a major flood of the Ohio River which caused 

an abnormally large infiltration of river water. For the period 1946-52, pumpage and natural 

recharge were nearly in balance. In 1950, the wettest year of record, recharge from rainfall 

was considerably above normal. In 1953 natural recharge from precipitation was small reflecting drought conditions.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels, which are a measure of changes in ground-water storage, are indicative of 

the manner in which an aquifer is recharged or discharged. Water levels reflect natural recharge 

from vertical infiltration of rainfall on the local area and from horizontal flow through the aquifer 

of water which has entered at higher altitudes; they show gains from and losses to bodies of surface water and losses through springs; they respond to pumping and to artificial recharging. 

Barometric and earth-shock effects on water levels may be detected by the use of recording gages. 

Figure 20 shows the hydrographs of 5 wells in the State which are typical of various areas. All 

the wells are outside heavily pumped areas. These graphs, although showing a variety of conditions, have a common seasonal cycle. During the growing season, soil moisture is depleted.

Figure 20. Water levels in wells representative of various areas in Kentucky, 1953.
134 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Rainfall is retained by the soil and little recharge is available for ground-water replenishment. 

During this period natural seepage to streams exceeds recharge and water levels fall. After 

frost, evaporation and transpiration become small, soil moisture deficiency is soon satisfied, 

and recharge takes place. Through the winter months recharge exceeds natural discharge and 

water levels rise. Well 8245-3745-404, Johnson County, in a valley bottom, is in the Breathitt 

formation and is typical of wells in the sandstone of the Eastern Coal Field. In the Mississippian 

Plateau, well 8725-3650-74, Christian County, is a water-table well in the Ste. Genevieve 

limestone. The existence of many sinks throughout the region tends to make the water table 

sensitive to the effects of local rainfall. The flat portions of the hydrograph in the latter part of 

1952 and of 1953 correspond with drought conditions and are in sharp contrast with rapid rises 

and falls during the summer of 1950, a very wet year. Well 8730-3750-143, Henderson County, 

in the sandstone and shale of Carbondale formation is an artesian well typical of those in the 

Western Coal Field. It is probable that this formation has some degree of hydraulic connection 

with the overlying glacial sands and gravels. Wells 8815-3635-6, Galloway County, and 

8835-3650-17, Graves County, are artesian wells in the Jackson Purchase. The first, in the sand 

of Ripley formation, and the second, in the Holly Springs sand, are representative wells in the 

two principal aquifers of that region.

Hydrographs of 7 wells in the glacial outwash sands and gravels along the Ohio River 

flood plain are given in figure 21. The dampened effect of the spring rises in the hydrographs 

for 1953 indicates relatively small river infiltration or natural recharge, and the general downward trend during the year reflects drought conditions. The similarity of comparable hydrographs is apparent. Wells 8235-3825-1, Boyd County; 8430-3905-15, Kenton County; 41-16-3, 

Jefferson County; and 8705-3745-4, Daviess County, are near the river and their hydrographs 

show the effects of river floods. For wells 8430-3900-103, Kenton County; 50-10-2, Jefferson 

County; and 8720-3750-152, Henderson County, which are distant from the river, seasonal cycles 

of the hydrographs reflect the normal effects of rainfall. The wells in Kenton and Daviess Counties are affected by nearby pumping while the wells in Boyd, Jefferson, and Henderson Counties 

are in unpumped areas.

Louisville area. --In the Louisville area water levels declined during 1953. The total 

ground-water pumpage during the year was practically the same as that of 1952, and the areal 

distribution of pumpage did not differ greatly. The effects of deficient precipitation and higher 

than normal temperatures during two successive years were major factors contributing to the 

decline. Excluding four wells in which small gains reflected purely local effects, the changes of 

water levels during the year ranged from no change in an observation well near the river northeast of the city to a net decline of 6.4 feet in a well in the south distillery area. Estimated loss 

of ground-water storage of more than 7 mgd represents an average decline of the water table of 

1.8 feet. In figure 22 the graph of well 50-10-2 is typical of those for wells in the unpumped area 

southwest of the city. The downward trend during the past 18 months reflecting drought conditions 

contrasts sharply with the re cord-high levels of 1951 and 1952 which correlated with the wet years 

of 1950 and 1951. In the downtown area of Louisville (east of meridian 85°46' and north of parallel 38°13') water levels declined nearly a foot. The graph of well 45-15-36 is representative of 

this area. After the 1937 flood, water levels continued in a downward trend until the low of record in 1949; since then the trend has remained fairly level, indicating a balance between pumpage 

and natural recharge in the area. The year-end water level of 1953 was the lowest since that of 

1949. In the central industrial area (west of meridian 85°46' and north of parallel 38°13'), the 

average water level dropped nearly 2 feet during the year. The total pumpage in the area in 1953 

was about 20 percent greater than that of 1952, and the pumpage during the last half of the year 

was appreciably greater than that of the first half. Figure 23 shows the graph of well 46-14-1 

(and 46-14-28) as representative of the area and a graph of the pumpage since 1943. The gradual 

improvement of the water table in this area for the period 1949 through 1952 was associated with 

a corresponding decrease of pumpage and greater than normal precipitation. In the distillery 

area south of Louisville, the water level declined an average of about 2 feet, though the total 

pumpage in the area was the same as that of 1952. This decline represents a loss of groundwater storage in the area which was estimated as more than 2 mgd. Figure 24 shows the graph 

of well 47-12-1 as typical of the area and a graph of pumpage since 1937. The change in trend 

since the high of 1952 is pronounced. In the Rubbertown area, the water table declined an average 

of 2.2 feet during 1953 which was the fourth successive year in which the area had sustained a 

loss of ground-water storage. The minimum water level in 1953 was the lowest since that of 

1945. In general, the post-war recovery of water levels in the Rubbertown area reached a maximum in 1948 and 1949; since then the levels have returned more than halfway to the critical lows 

of 1944. Figure 25 shows the graph of 49-13-24 as typical of the area and a graph of pumpage 

since 1942. The sharp reversal of the hydrograph in 1953 reflects the augmentation of groundwater supply in the area by river water with a corresponding decrease in the net withdrawal of 

ground water. A fairly constant annual pumpage in this area during the past 4 years has been 

about 60 percent as great as in 1944. A map of the Louisville area showing contours of water 

level in December 1953 is given in figure 26, The general pattern is similar to that of 1952 

except that the cones of depression have expanded somewhat. A double depression is indicated 

in the Rubbertown area with lesser depressions in the central part of the city and in the distillery 

section. Contours indicate infiltration from the river northeast and southwest of the city with 

flow gravitating toward the depressions. In the extreme southwest contours of higher than 383 

elevation indicate flow toward the river. Figure 27 shows changes of water level during the year.

The general decline reflects relatively small natural recharge due to deficient precipitation and 

drought conditions over the past 2 years. The decline increases generally toward the southwest 

which is the normal direction of ground-water flow in the Louisville area. The depression in 

the distillery area does not indicate extra heavy pumping for 1953, but relatively heavy pumping 

during the latter part of the year. Figure 28 shows changes of water level during the 5-year 

period, December 1948 to December 1953. The shaded portion in Rubbertown area shows losses 

greater than 5 feet, denoting the effect of sustained heavy pumping. The losses of ground-water 

storage during the past 2 years have nearly offset the gains of several previous years.

Well-Numbering System

Excepting the Louisville area in Jefferson County, the State has been divided into quadrangles formed by the 5-minute meridians and parallels. Wells inventoried in each of the quadrangles are numbered beginning with 1. Wells are designated by a composite of three numbers; 

the first indicates the degrees and minutes of longitude, the second the degrees and minutes of 

latitude, and the third the number of the well in that quadrangle. Thus, well 8715-3650-1 is the 

first well inventoried in the 5-minute quadrangle west of 87°15' longitude and north of 36°50' latitude. A similar numbering system is used for wells in the Louisville area, which lies between 

longitude 85°and 86° and between latitude 38° and 39°, except that the quadrangles are bounded 

by 1-minute meridians and parallels. The well designation omits the degrees, using only minutes 

of longitude and latitude. Thus, well 45-14-2 is the second well inventoried in the 1-minute 

quadrangle west of 85°45' longitude and north of 38°14' latitude. Location of wells in the Louisville area included in the water-level report are shown on figure 18.

MARYLAND

By Claire A. Richardson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Maryland was continued during 1953 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. Measurements were made in 64 

observation wells: 10 in the Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces, 15 in the 

Piedmont province, and 39 in that part of the Coastal Plain province west of Chesapeake Bay, 

Continuous recording gages were maintained throughout the year on 9 wells, and for part of the 

year on 1 other well. Figure 29 shows the location of observation wells.

Precipitation

The annual precipitation in Maryland in 1953 was 43. 62 inches, which was 0. 83 inch above 

normal. In March and May the rainfall was more than 2 inches above normal; from June through 

November, however, there was a deficiency in rainfall, amounting to as much as 1. 67 inches in 

June.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces. --The water levels in all but one well 

in this area showed a net decline for the year, the average net decline being 5. 50 feet. The net 

decline in one well (Wa-Bh 3 near Hagerstown, Washington County) amounted to 20. 20 feet. 

Record highs were reached in 2 wells, and record lows were reached in 3 wells. Most highs for 

the year occurred in March, April, and May; most lows occurred in October, November, and 

December. Although this pattern conforms to the usual seasonal cycle found in water-table wells 

in Maryland, the average net decline for 1953 was more than twice that for 1952. This was due 

chiefly to the deficiency in rainfall which lasted from June through November.

Piedmont province. The water levels in all observation wells in this area showed a net 

decline for the year, the average net decline being 4. 61 feet. The net decline in one well (Fr-Fc 1 

near Point of Rocks, Frederick County) amounted to 14. 02 feet. Record highs were reached in 

4 wells, and record lows were reached in 3 wells. Some highs occurred in January but most 

occurred in the period from April through June. All lows occurred in the last four months of the 

year. As in the Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces of the State, these highs 

and lows occurred at the usual time of year, except for the period of highs in January. These 

were probably caused by an above-normal precipitation in November and December 1952 and 

January 1953. Figure 30 shows water levels in wells Car-Bf 1 and Mont-Be 1 and precipitation 

at Westminster.

Coastal Plain (western part). --The water levels in most wells in this area showed a slight 

net decline for the year, the average net decline being only 0. 35 foot. One well (AA-Cd 10 near 

Crownsville, Anne Arundel County) showed a net decline of 6.32 feet, and one (AA-Df 14 near 

Carrs Point, Anne Arundel County) showed a net rise of 5. 05 feet. Record highs were reached 

in 4 wells, and record lows were reached in 5 wells. Most highs occurred in April; most lows 

occurred in September and October. Although some observation wells in this area are artesian 

and, therefore, are not usually subject to the seasonal fluctuations in water levels found in watertable wells, the highs and lows for this area generally occurred in the spring and fall, respectively, 

due chiefly to seasonal changes in the pumpage from the artesian strata. The average net change 

for the wells was about the same as in 1952.

Baltimore industrial area. --The water levels in most wells in this area showed a net rise 

for the year, the average net rise being 1.05 feet. One well (2S1E-16 in the Harbor district of 

Baltimore) showed a net rise of 8. 04 feet. Record highs were reached in 4 wells, and record 

lows were reached in 2 wells. Most highs occurred in March, July, and December; most lows 

occurred in July and October. Net rises for the year occurred in the Curtis Bay, Harbor, 

Highlandtown, Dundalk, and Back River districts. Net declines for the year occurred in the 

Fairfield, Sparrows Point, Bay Shore Park, and Poplar districts. All of the observation wells 

in the Baltimore industrial area end in either the Patuxent or the Patapsco formation. The net 

rise in water level in wells ending in the Patuxent formation was 1.49 feet, and in the Patapsco 

formation 1. 47 feet. All wells in the Baltimore industrial area, with one or possibly two

exceptions, are artesian wells and therefore do not reflect the seasonal change occurring in 

water-table wells. However, a seasonal fluctuation due to increased use of water in summer for 

air conditioning can be noted in some wells. Most changes in water level in wells in this area 

are due chiefly to changes in pumping rather than to natural causes alone. Inasmuch as the 

pumpage records are incomplete, it is rarely possible to indicate the source of such changes.

Well-Numbering System

All wells outside of Baltimore City are grouped by counties. Each county is divided into 

5-minute quadrangles. Each quadrangle from north to south is designated by uppercase letters 

and from west to east by lowercase letters. The wells are numbered in each 5-minute quadrangle in the order in which they were inventoried. A different well-numbering system is used 

for wells within Baltimore. All wells within the city limits are referred to mile squares which 

are in turn referred to the Washington Monument, located near the center of the city. Thus well 

2S3E-9 is in the square mile that is 2 miles south and 3 miles east of the Washington Monument.

EASTERN SHORE

By D. H. Boggess

Scope of Water-Level Program

The program of ground-water investigations of the Eastern Shore, begun in 1949, in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, was continued in 

1953. Measurements were made in 36 wells, 5 of which are equipped with recording gages. Of 

this group 24 are water-table wells in sand and gravel of Pleistocene age; 1 water-table well is 

in weathered rock probably of granitic-gabbroid origin; 1 artesian well is in sand of Pleistocene 

age; 2 artesian wells are in sand of Miocene age; 7 artesian wells are in sand of Eocene age; and 

1 artesian well is in sand of Cretaceous age. Figure 31 shows the location of the observation 

wells in the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

P recipitation

The mean annual precipitation for 1953 computed from U. S. Weather Bureau records for 

15 stations of the Eastern Shore was 45.22 inches. This is 2.07 inches more than the average 

precipitation for 38 years of record.

June 3. 84; July 3. 79; Aug. 3. 98; Sept. 4. 27; Oct. 3. 76; Nov. 2. 83; Dec. 2. 33.

Aug. 4. 20; Sept. 3. 47; Oct. 2. 43; Nov. 1. 97; Dec. 1.94.

Estimated pumpage at Rising Sun: 50,000 gallons per day.

Estimated pumpage from the West Denton "90- to 140-foot" aquifer: 400, 000 gallons a day. 

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Monthly averages of water-levels in 14 water-table wells selected for areal representation 

and length of record showed an average rise in water level of 1.26 feet from January to April. 

The average water level declined 2.93 feet from April to August as a result of normal groundwater depletion when evaporation-transpiration rates are high. The average water level rose 

0. 53 foot during August when recharge by an average precipitation of 0. 83 inch above normal was 

recorded. A decline in the average water level of 0. 96 foot was measured during September and 

October when recharge by an average precipitation of 1.16 inches below normal was recorded. 

The average water level rose 1.37 feet during November and December as a result of greater 

recharge to the water table by precipitation when evapotranspiration losses are low.

Water-level records are maintained on 5 wells to the "400-foot" aquifer at Cambridge. The 

wells in order of increasing distance from the center of pumpage are: Dor-Ce 22, Dor-Bd 2, 

Tal-Ed 6, Dor-Dd 6, and Dor-Ed 1. Fluctuation of water levels in these wells in response to 

pumping from the Cambridge well field is shown in figure 32. Well Tal-Ed 6, about 6 miles north 

of the center of pumping at Cambridge, may also respond to pumping from the "400- foot" aquifer 

at Trappe, 3.4 miles east of the observation well. Well Dor-Ed 1, about 15 miles south of

Cambridge may also respond to seasonal pumping from the "400- foot'&quifer at the Bobbins 

Brothers Cannery, 1. 5 miles southeast of the observation well. Water4evel records have been 

maintained on well Wi-Ce 13 in the Salisbury well field since 1947. Graphs of the water level in 

this well, pumpage from the Salisbury well field, and precipitation at Salisbury are shown on 

figure 33. Well Wi-Cf 3 at the Salisbury Airport is unaffected by pumping and shows fluctuations 

in water level from natural causes. Graphs of the water level in this well, temperature, and 

precipitation at the Salisbury Airport, are shown on figure 34. Well Care-Dc 56, to the "90 to 140- 

foof'aquifer at West Denton, showed a general downward trend in water level from January to 

September 28 for a total drop of 7.9 feet, chiefly in response to pumping at the chicken-processing plant. From September 28 to December 30, the water level rose 3. 5 feet but was still 

4. 4 feet below the level of December 31, 1952, and 13.0 feet below the level of December 31, 

1951.

Well-Numbering System

The numbers assigned to the observation wells on the Eastern Shore indicate their approximate location. Each county is subdivided into 5-minute quadrangles, formed by lines of longitude and latitude. The wells are numbered consecutively in each quadrangle. For example, 

Care-Dc 56: "Care" denotes Caroline County; "D" indicates the fourth quadrangle from the top 

(north) of the county map; and "c" indicates the third quadrangle from the left side (west) of the 

map.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All water-level measurements are in feet above and below land-surface datum with the 

exception of Wi-Cf 3 and Wi-Ce 105 which are in feet above mean sea level.

NORTH CAROLINA

By H. E. LeGrand and Marjorie M. Streicher

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, begun in 1931, was continued in 1953. This program is a 

part of the investigations of the ground-water resources being conducted in cooperation with the 

North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. Water-level measurements were 

made in 42 observation wells, 5 of which were measured daily. Figure 35 shows the location of 

observation wells in the State.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The Coastal Plain, representing the eastern two-fifths of the State, is one of two major 

ground-water provinces in North Carolina. It is underlain by beds of unconsolidated and semiconsolidated sands, clays, and limestones that dip gently toward the coast. The dips of the beds 

on the Coastal Plain are slightly greater than the slope of the land surface so that artesian water 

occurs in the sands and limestones that are buried beneath surficial sands and clays. Some of 

the observation wells penetrate these artesian aquifers and others penetrate surficial sands in 

which water-table conditions exist. The other major ground-water province represents the Piedmont and Mountain sections, occupying the western three-fifths of the State. It is underlain by 

various igneous and metamorphic rocks. Ground water occurs in the clayey weathered rock that 

mantles the surface almost everywhere and in the fractures in the underlying bedrock; although 

water occurs in two contrasting types of material, it is under water-table conditions in both cases. 

All the observation wells in the Piedmont and Mountain provinces end in the clayey weathered 

material.

In North Carolina a relationship exists between water levels and precipitation, but this 

relationship is not a simple one because factors other than precipitation affect the water levels. 

Most of the wells, except as noted otherwise, are far removed from pumping wells, and consequently the changes in their water levels are due to natural causes. It should be emphasized 

that withdrawal of ground water has had no widespread effect on the regional water levels; this is 

due either to the low water-yielding capacity ojf some of the deposits or to the great dispersion in 

population and consequent small withdrawal of water, or to a combination of these factors. The 

water levels measured are chiefly those of the water table, but some represent the piezometric 

surface expressing the artesian water level. Water-table wells in the Coastal Plain generally 

respond much more quickly to rainfall than do wells in the Piedmont, because the water table is 

generally closer to the surface and the surficial deposits are more permeable in the Coastal Plain. 

With normal precipitation, the cycle of water-table fluctuations begins with a gradual rise usually 

starting in December or January. The level generally continues to rise until April or May after 

which it begins to decline. The decline continues, interrupted only by rises of short duration 

caused by summer rainstorms, until the following December or January. The water table rises 

in late winter and spring because very little water is lost by evaporation or is used by vegetation, 

so that a relatively large part of the precipitation reaches the water table. Although the amount 

of rainfall is larger during the summer months, little or no rainfall reaches the water table because the amount used by vegetation and evaporation is large. The range in water level in the 

artesian aquifers is generally slight except near the areas of recharge and near the areas where 

water is pumped from the same aquifer. Well 13, Hertford County, for example, is remote 

from pumping and from recharge to the aquifer which it penetrates and, consequently, expresses 

a water level which fluctuated only 0. 48 foot between December 1950 and December 1953. In 

1953 the average rainfall at all Weather Bureau stations in the State was 45.85 inches, which was 

3.38 inches below normal. The unseasonably dry weather in October and November resulted in 

below-average water levels in water-table wells during the late autumn. Although some recovery 

of the water level was noted in some wells at the end of December, 21 of 27 water-table wells had 

lower water levels at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year. Water levels in 11 of 

13 artesian wells were lower at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year, but in only 

2 of these did the water level reach an alltime low during the year.

Well-Numbering System

The wells are numbered by counties, although the numbers are not related to any system of 

location within the counties.

By George E. Siple

Scope of Water-Level Program

The maintenance of a Federal and State observation-well program was continued during 

1953, and included as part of the cooperative agreement for ground-water investigations, begun 

in 1946, with the South Carolina Research, Planning and Development Board. Periodic tape or 

pressure-gage measurements were made in 15 wells in the Coastal Plain province. One well was 

equipped with a recording gage. Water-level measurements were made in wells in Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale Counties, the records of which will be included in a report being prepared 

for the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Figure 36 shows the location of observation wells 

listed in this report.

Precipitation

The average annual precipitation as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau was 47.38 

inches during 1953, which was 0. 06 inch below normal. Ordinarily the heaviest rainfall is received during July and the least during November. In 1953 there were two periods of very dry 

weather, July-August and October-November. Temperatures for the year averaged 64.0 or 

0.8 above normal. Rainfall was somewhat below normal during January but above normal during 

February and March. During April rainfall was about 37 percent below normal, but slightly above 

normal in May and near normal in June. July was unusually dry with most areas receiving 

2 inches less rain than normally. During August rainfall was 20 percent below normal but 

averaged 36 percent above normal in September. October and November were very dry, the 

rainfall in October being only 18 percent of normal. The second heaviest rainfall since 1887 

occurred in December.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The Coastal Plain aquifers consist of deposits of sand, gravel, and limestone ranging from 

Late Cretaceous to Recent in age. These deposits crop out in belts generally in a northeastsouthwest direction, dipping from 8 to 30 feet per mile to the southeast. Water-table aquifers 

are present throughout the entire Coastal Plain and artesian aquifers may be found in most of the 

area. Water-level fluctuations in the water-table aquifers can generally be correlated with the 

amount of precipitation in immediate area. This correlation, howewr, is more apparent during 

the period from November or December through the following April or May. Thus, the annual 

cycle of water-level changes show a gradual rise of water levels in the late fall or early winter, 

reaching a maximum in February or March, then starting to decline in April or May and continuing 

to decline until late summer. Normally the largest amount of rainfall is received during the 

months of July and August. But the nature of this rainfall results in a large amount of surface 

runoff, which, together with the high evaporation and transpiration, leaves little or no water to 

recharge the aquifer. Thus, the water levels continue to decline during this period of high rainfall. The hydrograph for Sumter 2 for the year 1953 showed an almost continuous decline in 

water levels for the entire year, which was exactly the reverse of the hydrograph for this well 

for the year 1952. But there was a deficiency of rainfall in 1953; and a greater amount of pumping 

in nearby wells during the year. The hydrograph for water-table well Orangeburg 2 shows a 

maximum range in water-level fluctuation of 1. 51 feet for 1953. This was less than half the range 

of fluctuations for 1952; it represents the approximate range of water levels caused by pumping 

in the nearby well. Water-level changes in Sumter 1 reflected in general the changes in rainfall, 

except for the summer or early fall months when little if any of this rainfall recharges the 

aquifer. Fluctuations in water levels in artesian wells are caused by several factors, such as 

proximity to pumping wells, atmospheric pressure, oceanic tides, earth tides, and other loading 

phenomena. In many instances the cycle of fluctuation will show in general a similarity to that 

of the water-table wells in that the highs are produced in the winter and spring months followed 

by a recession in the summer months. Typical examples are the hydrographs for wells Dorchester 1, Florence 1, and Horry 3. Aiken well 1 is an example of a well whose water-level 

changes reflect correlative changes in barometric pressure. The barometric efficiency of this 

well was calculated to range from 33 to 40 percent. Figure 37 shows a comparison between the 

range of water levels observed in 1953 as compared with past maximum and minimum levels.

TENNESSEE

By J. H. Criner, Jr., and C. R. Lanphere

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Tennessee was started in Memphis in 1940 and expanded 

to include west Tennessee in 1947 and central and east Tennessee in 1949. The program was 

continued in 1953 as a part of the investigation of ground-water resources in the State, cooperatively with the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division and the Tennessee Department of Conservation, Division of Geology. Measurements were made in 54 wells, 30 of which were equipped 

with recording gages. Figures 38 to 40 show the location of observation wells. A structural 

contour map on the Knox dolomite in Middle Tennessee was released for publication and a report 

on ground water in the Central Basin of Tennessee was completed during the year.

Precipitation

The following table gives the annual precipitation and departure from normal at selected 

stations in the Tertiary outcrop belt of west Tennessee. Most of the municipal and industrial 

supplies of west Tennessee are obtained from sands of Tertiary age. The average precipitation 

for Tennessee in 1953 was 45. 58 inches which is 4.67 inches below normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

There was a general decline of water levels in wells screened in the "500-foot" sand in the 

Memphis area during 1953. This fact can be attributed primarily to increased pumpage. Prolonged drought periods continuing to the end of November were a major cause of the increase, 

especially in municipal pumpage. The average decline of water levels in wells screened in the 

"500-foot" sand was about 9. 6 feet from the lowest of 1952 to the lowest of 1953. The greatest 

decline was in the Thomas H. Alien pumping station area where wells were pumped each week 

throughout the year for the first time. The average decline in this area was about 21 feet. 

Figure 41 shows the fluctuations of water levels in three wells screened in the "500-foot" sand.

The water levels in observation wells screened in the "1, 400-foot" sand of the Memphis 

area ranged from 3. 5 feet higher to 2. 4 feet lower than the lowest levels of 1952. Figure 42 

shows the fluctuations of water levels in 4 of these wells. There was no measurable increase 

in pumpage from the "1,400-foot" sand and the general trend of the water level was not changed.

Well-Numbering System

Each well number is made up of three items, the first and second of which are separated 

by a colon, and the second and third by a hyphen. The first item represents the county in which 

the well is situated, the second is the number assigned the owner or well field, and the third is 

the number of the well itself. The first item necessitated numbering all the counties in the State 

in alphabetical order, starting with Anderson County as 1, Bedford County as 2, and so on. To 

provide for the second item, the owners or the well fields were assigned numbers in consecutive 

order as the wells were recorded by the Geological Survey. The third item, the number of the 

well, corresponds to the number assigned the well by the owner. For example, the number 

79:7-17 indicates county 79, Shelby County; well field 7, the Parkway field of the Memphis Light, 

Gas and Water Division; and well 17 in that field, as numbered by the owner. The Auction Avenue 

well field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, where the water of about 100 wells 

flowed through tunnels into the so-called "wet well", is field 3 in Shelby County, and the shafts 

that were used to inspect the tunnels and drifts of that field, 25 in all, have been lettered to 

differentiate them from the wells. (See 79:3-A.)

VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart and Alien Sinnott

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Geological Survey. In northern Virginia, month-end tape measurements were made in 

5 wells; in eastern Virginia, measurements were made in 9 wells, 2 of which are equipped with 

recording gages. (See fig. 43.)

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Northern Virginia. --Observation wells in the northern part of Virginia are shallow wells, 

underlain by crystalline rocks. Their water levels are greatly affected by precipitation. Precipitation in 1953 was 2. 73 inches above normal; in 1952 it was 10. 58 inches above normal. This 

decrease in precipitation is reflected in a noticeable net decline in water levels in all of the wells 

in the northern part of Virginia. The precipitation and departure from normal at Washington, 

D. C., in 1953, as shown by 30 years of record of the U. S. Weather Bureau,are given in the 

following table:

The greatest decline in water level occurred in the Bell well (Fairfax County 2) where the 

water level was 2. 81 feet lower at the end of the year than at the beginning. The greatest range 

in water level, however, occurred in the Halls Hill well (Arlington County 1) where the difference between the highest and lowest stages recorded during the year was 7. 29 feet. The average 

net decline for the three deepest wells (Arlington County 1 and 2, and Fairfax County 1) was 

2.18 feet which indicated a noticeable decrease in ground-water storage since December 1952. 

The following table shows the water level, in feet below land-surface datum, for each well at the 

beginning and end of 1953, the highest and lowest levels recorded during the year, the range in 

level, and the net change (+rise, -decline) for the year. (See fig. 44.)

VIRGINIA, ACCOMACK COUNTY 263

Eastern Virginia. The fluctuations of the water level in well 8 in Accomack County, at the 

Chincoteague Naval Auxiliary Air Station, showed similar patterns during 1952 and 1953. The 

highest level was in the late spring, after which there was a decline, with a reversal in midAugust, until the end of the year, when the level was about i foot above the year-end level of 1952.

Reflecting the deficient precipitation in 1953, the late-December water level in well 36, in 

Chesterfield County, was more than a foot lower than the year-end level for 1952. The rainfall 

at Richmond was 9.16 inches below normal during 1953, compared with 8. 79 inches above normal 

during 1952.

The water level in well 161 in Isle of Wight County at the pulp mill in East Franklin has 

continued to decline gradually in response to pumping since 1950. A new record low level was 

reached in late September, which was 9 feet below the lowest level of 1952. Temporary recovery 

of several feet occurred when the mill was shut down over holidays.

The water level in well 1, Louisa County recovered to a new high of 15.10 feet below the 

surface in April. With the onset of the summer months, increased evapotranspiration coupled 

with a prolonged dry period caused a gradual decline, resulting in a record low of 29. 60 feet on 

November 30. The water level had begun to recover by the end of the year.

The water level in well 13, at the Old Dominion Water Corporation in Hopewell, Prince 

George County, showed the usual seasonal fluctuation pattern. Artificial recharge of cold water 

was probably carried on from January to March at the nearby Solvay Process Plant. Summer 

pumping began about mid-May, lowering the water level to about 48s feet through the summer 

months and into late October. When pumping stopped, the water level recovered to about 37 feet.

During 1953, the water level in well 29 at Sebrell, Southampton County, again reached a 

new low, nearly 2 feet below the lowest level of 1952. This occurred in late December, after a 

steady decline throughout the year. Measurements in well 205 in Franklin showed a similar 

pattern of steady decline, reaching a new low in December of nearly 4 feet below the record low 

level of 1952. The decline in both wells is attributed to increased pumping at Franklin.

The water level in well 90, at Wakefield, Sussex County, continued to decline slowly during 

1953. A record low of 78. 24 feet was reached on November 10, followed by a recovery of nearly 

3 feet during the remainder of the year. At the end of December, the water level was still 

nearly a foot lower than the end-December level of 1952. This well is believed to be declining in 

response to the heavy industrial pumping at Franklin, about 20 miles to the southeast.

WEST VIRGINIA

By G. D. Graeff

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, begun in 1941 in cooperation with the West Virginia 

Geological and Economic Survey, was continued in 1953. Measurements of water levels were 

made in 11 wells, 4 of which are equipped with recording gages. Figure 45 shows the location of 

observation wells in West Virginia.

Precipitation

The average precipitation over the State in 1953 was 35. 53 inches, about 7 inches less than 

the average for 1952 and nearly 8 inches less than normal. During the first half of the year 

precipitation was only 0. 3 inch below normal. During July most sections became progressively 

drier with a tendency toward drought developing in the middle of August. The accumulated deficiency of rainfall from July through October was 5. 81 inches, 60 percent of normal precipitation. October's average of 0. 84 inch was only 0. 44 inch above the recorded low in 1924. The 

southern parts of the State were hit the hardest as the creeks, springs, and wells began to fail, 

owing to the increasing dryness in October. The drought was broken by 1.23 inches of rainfall 

during November, but small streams, wells, and springs were still dry at the end of the month 

because most of the infiltration went to replenish soil moisture. Precipitation for December 

averaged 2.68 inches, which was 82 percent of normal. This greatly helped the recovery of wells 

and springs.

Pumpage

There are only a few relatively heavily pumped areas in the State. In the Charleston business district the normal daily pumpage of 500 thousand gallons throughout the year was increased 

to 1 million gallons during the air-conditioning season from late spring to early fall. Figure 46 

is a graph of the water level during 1953 in well 40-5-14 in the center of the area, showing the 

seasonal decline of the water level during the hot season, and the recovery of the water level in 

the late fall after the air-conditioning season was over. Largest withdrawals of ground water are 

along the Ohio River where total daily pumpage for municipal, industrial, and domestic use is 

estimated at more than 60 million gallons. Near Follansbee, in Brooke County, 10 million gallons 

a day were pumped by two companies; in Marshall County about 3 million gallons for use by seven 

companies; and in the Parkersburg area, Wood County, daily pumpage was estimated at 10 million 

gallons of which the city pumped an average of 4, 811, 000 gallons a day. Slightly less than 3 million 

gallons a day were pumped in the Huntington area in Cabell and Wayne Counties. In such areas 

the ground water is obtained by induced infiltration from the river through the alluvial deposits 

adjacent to the river. At these and other similar areas along the Ohio River, the fluctuations of 

water level in the alluvium adjacent to the river respond mainly to changes in the level of the river 

rather than to changes in the rate of pumping, as long as that rate does not exceed the rate of 

infiltration from the river. Figure 47 shows a graph of the fluctuations of the water level in well 

27-3-22 at the Parkersburg city well field in 1953 and, for comparison, includes changes in river 

level nearby and weekly pumpage from the well field. The pumping units are between the observation well and the river.

Interpretation o.f Water-Level Fluctuations

Wells 11-3-8, Masontown, 11-3-14, Reedsville, and 40-3-1, Nitro, are all in rural areas, 

and pumpage in the vicinity of each well is confined to small quantities withdrawn from domestic 

wells. Well 9-6-45, Morgantown, is in an usually unpumped area, but a nearby emergency well 

in the same formation was pumped continuously during the fall months. Well 42-4-1, Montgomery, 

is about half a mile from wells pumped only during the summer months. The fluctuations of 

water levels in all five wells are primarily in response to variations in local precipitation. During the first half of 1953 water levels in these wells were as high as or higher than they were during the same period of 1952. Water levels in wells 11-3-8, Masontown, and 11-3-14, Reedsville, 

were 4 and 2 feet lower at the year's end than at the end of 1952. Well 9-6-45, Morgantown, 

had made a partial recovery by December from the drawdown caused by nearby pumping. The 

water level in well 9-6-27, Morgantown, has been rising almost continuously since 1945 in

response to a decrease in nearby pumping. A new high of record was reached in 1953, almost a 

foot above the previous high of 1952. The water level at the end of the year was 2 feet above the 

level of the end of 1952 and about half a foot above the level at the end of 1951. The water level 

in well 4-3-8, Glendale, fluctuates in response primarily to pumping of nearby wells and secondarily to changes in the level of the nearby Ohio Fiver.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in West Virginia are assigned a three-part number indicating their 

location by county and magisterial district. For this purpose the counties have been numbered 

consecutively in a general southward direction, beginning with Hancock County, which is at the 

northernmost tip of the State; the magisterial districts within each county are numbered consecutively according to the same plan; then, the wells within the district are numbered consecutively as they are surveyed. Thus, the number 9-6-27, assigned to a well in Morgantown, indicates that it is well 27 in district 6 (Morgan District) of county number 9 (Monongalia County).
