WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1952

Part 1. NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

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

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

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

records have been published in six volumes, covering the northeastern, southeastern, no-thcentral, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of the country. Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. The following table gives the numbers of Water-Supp'y 

Papers from 1940 through 1952.

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 fnm 

precipitation, withdrawals from wells or springs, evapotranspiration by vegetation, evapc ration 

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 depending upon the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-furface 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 nations! 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 refere-tce 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 \Veather Bureau.

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Connecticut was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the 

State Water Commission. The overall program of work included collection of water-level data 

by means of a statewide network of observation wells and areal surveys of ground-water conditions. The plan of study for the areal surveys consists of a reconnaissance investigation of the 

entire State to be followed by more intensive work in areas of particular need or interest. As 

the reconnaissance investigations are extended to new areas, the observation-well program is 

expanded to include the areas of interest. Measurements were made in 33 wells in 1952. The 

location of the observation wells in Connecticut is shown on figure 2.

Precipitation

The average annual precipitation for Connecticut for 1952 was 50. 37 inches which vas 

4. 87 inches above normal but 1. 35 inches less than in 1951. The 17-station average was about 

10 percent above the 65-year average, and at only 4 of the 17 stations was the total annual precipitation less than the average. The 4 stations are scattered throughout the State and show no 

significant pattern with respect to water supplies. Above-normal precipitation was recorded for 

all months except February, July, September, October, and November, with heavy amounts in 

April and August. The greatest monthly deficiencies were in July and October when rainfall was 

about half the normal amount. The July rainfall fell mostly during one storm on the 10th, The 

year was unusually warm, with only May and October having subnormal average temperatures. 

July had the highest average temperature of any month of record.

P umpage

The most heavily pumped ground-water areas are at Waterbury, New Haven, Naupatuck, 

and Bridgeport. Records of ground-water pumpage in Connecticut are not available for all 

sources of withdrawal. Estimates based upon pumpage figures obtained from the Connecticut 

State Department of Health, industrial concerns, and private well owners indicate that ground 

water was withdrawn in the State in 1952 at the rate of about 54 million gallons per day. The 

average amount used daily for various purposes during the year is estimated as follows: industrial (excluding water from municipal supplies) 40 million gallons per day; municipal 9 m^d; rural 

(domestic and stock but excluding irrigation) 4 mgd; irrigation 1 mgd.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

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

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

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

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

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

early July. After the growing season starts, evaporation and transpiration rates are high er and 

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

from springs and seeps continues,and as a result ground-water levels decline steadily until recharge from precipitation is again greater than discharge. Minimum levels are usually reached 

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

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

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

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

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

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

the upper slopes of drainage basins are commonly in till.

With precipitation somewhat less than last year's amount, there was a decrease in underground storage in Connecticut in 1952. Water levels in nearly all observation wells showed a 

decline at the year's end from the high levels recorded at the beginning of 1952. Precipitation 

was above normal in January,and water levels continued to rise and were at record seasonal

highs for the third consecutive month by January. A general rise continued until May when peak 

stages were reached in most observation wells. As precipitation was in excess of normal 

throughout the spring.the peak stages were reached generally a month later than usual; as a 

result water levels were above last yearfc levels and were at a record or near-record high stage 

for the season. Record high levels were reached in 6 observation wells (NHnllO,NHnl83, 

NHn250, NHn 270, BU 2, and U3) during the first half of the year. Rainfall was above normal in 

June,but water levels declined under the influence of evapotranspiration demands. The decline 

continued generally until late November, but favorable antecedent conditions maintained water 

levels at above-normal stages and above the levels of 1951 until late October. By that tiire the 

effects of two periods of near-drought in July and October had offset the beneficial effects of 

plentiful rainfall early in the year, and November-end levels were generally below normal and 

below the levels of 1951. A small rise in December was not sufficient to alter conditions greatly, 

and the year ended with water levels in general slightly below normal and below those recorded 

at the end of December 1951.

In the residential area of New Haven, where pumping is at a minimum, water-level fluctuations showed the same general pattern as elsewhere in the State. The peak stages were reached 

at the end of June and were in most cases the highest levels of record since 1939. The year-end 

levels in this area showed a decline for the 12-month period but they were about half a foot above 

the 13-year normal. In the pumped areas of New Haven, the major fluctuations of the water 

table are the result of changes in the rate and distribution of pumping as well as variations in the 

amount of precipitation. Water levels in these areas followed the same general pattern as the 

residential area levels but there were several modifications which resulted from changes in the 

pattern of withdrawal. Peak levels in the air-conditioning and cold storage areas were reached at 

an earlier date and reflected the increase in seasonal withdrawals. Similarly, minimum levels 

were recorded earlier than in the residential area as the seasonal rise commenced by late 

September with the decrease in pumping. The water table in the industrial area of New Hiven 

reached a natural peak stage in June, but this was followed In July by a second and higher peak 

which resulted from a decrease in withdrawal during the normal July vacation period at several 

large industrial plants.

Well-Number ing System

In the well-numbering system in Connecticut a letter prefix followed by the well number is 

used. A letter or combination of two or three letters is used to indicate the town, or "tovmship" 

and the wells are then numbered consecutively in each town. For example, the letters "F^" are 

prefixed to all well numbers in Bethel.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

mean sea level.

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Geological Survey was continued through 1952. From 1943 to 1950, the U. S. Geologi"al Survey cooperated with the towns of Lewes and Rehoboth. The initial purpose of this investigation 

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

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

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

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

capacity through 1952. Cooperation was also established with the Delaware Geological Survey, 

representing the city of Newark, for a detailed study of the Newark area. An additioral observation well, Cb 123, was established in the course of this program.

Throughout the State there are 16 shallow wells which are measured with a steel tape at 

the end of every month. Thirteen of these wells were installed in September and October 1950. 

Measurement of the water level of well Cb 123 was begun on June 4, 1951. The Soil Conservation 

Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture maintains recording gages on wells R" 1 and 

Rf 2. However, the tape measurements published in this report were made by the U. S. Geological Survey. Weekly recording gages were operated in the municipal well field of the towns of 

Lewes, New Castle, and Newark. A recording gage was installed at the Governor BE con Health 

Center, Delaware City, and water-level records began on March 9, 1952. The total number of 

wells, for which water levels are published in 1952, is 20.

Two well-field tests were run during 1952 on the aquifer at Newark. A report entitled, 

"Ground-water problems in highway construction and maintenance," by William C. R-smussen 

and Leon B. Haigler was released to the open file in 1952. Although this report does not give 

any water-level measurements, it does list quicksand areas in Delaware that represent zones 

of seeps and springs. A problem in road subdrainage near Laurel, Sussex County, i-3 described 

and illustrated in the report. Observation well Qc 4 was established at this site at tt e edge of 

the road to observe the rise and (all of water level beneath the road. Records in the table presented here show that in March 1952 the water level rose to within 0.19 foot of the la*»d surface 

in this well, or within 85 feet of the crown of the road. It is probable that part of the capillary 

zone extended to the road course at this time. It appears that the present tile drains, beneath 

the ditch on the south side of the road, may not be intercepting sufficient ground water to keep the 

road dry. A late frost or ground freeze while the water table is high could damage t*ie road.

Precipitation

The year of 1952 was one of high precipitation in Delaware with a total of 51.02 inches, 

which was 7.00 inches above average for eleven stations throughout the State. Only 3 months, 

February, September, and October, had rainfall below average. Of these, October was the 

driest with 2.31 inches below average and reflected the regional drought experienced throughout 

the central and eastern United States. November was the month of greatest departure with 2. 54 

inches above average. March, April, and May had a combined above-average departure of 

5.19 inches.

Pumpage

The average daily pumpage at the Governor Bacon Health Center, a State hom^ for the 

aged, orphans, and infirm, was 74, 500 gallons per day in 1952. There are 360 patients at this 

institution. The major part of the daily average pumpage at Lewes, which was 362,600 gallons 

per day in 1952, was produced from the well field in which well Ni 3 is situated. The daily 

average pumpage at Newark was 636, 500 gallons per day on 1952. This was augmented by 

an average of 146, 580 gallons per day from a private water company using a surface source.

The well field at New Castle produced an average of 533,700 gallons per day of which appro^imately 6.3 percent was for industrial usage.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

During 1952 the average water level of 13 water-table wells throughout the State fluctuated 

sympathetically with the State average precipitation. There was a general rise of the average 

water level from the beginning of the year until April when the water level began to decline. A 

low point was reached in October after which the water level rose through the month of December. 

This repeats the general pattern followed in 1951; however, the average water level for the year 

1951 was 7.60 feet below average land-surface datum whereas that for 1952 was 6.29 feet, a 

rise of 1. 31 feet. The Bacon Health Center is supplied by three wells, of which two are about 

150 feet from observation well EC 11 and are of equal capacity. One of the closer wells was 

being pumped at about 100 gallons per minute for about 9 hours a day until April 27, 1952 when 

both of the closer wells, pumping an aggregate of 180 gallons per minute, started. The two 

wells continued to pump simultaneously for about 9 hours a day for the rest of the year. The 

water level in EC 11 reflected this change in regimen of the well field. The high water leve' of 

May 27, 1952 is caused by a 48 hour recovery after 24 hours of continuous pumping. The third 

well, which has a capacity of 30 gallons per minute, is about 1,100 feet from the observation 

well and affects the water level in EC 11 to only a small degree. The water level in observation 

well Ni 3 in Lewes, averaged about 17 feet below land surface for 1952. During the period of 

record, there is no apparent trend. The well faithfully records the fall of water level in response to pumping the nearby city wells, and the recovery after pumping ceases. The dail" 

envelope curves of high and low water level follow, in a general way, the rainfall pattern fo- the 

year. At Newark during the period of water-level record, there is no apparent upward or d->wnward trend Ln observation well Ca 3. The normal pumping regimen of the Newark well field was 

disturbed during a period from March 8 to May 9 due to the operation of two well field tests 

within that period. Well Cb 123, about 2,100 feet from the city well field, departed from itr< 

natural fluctuations during the 8f-day full capacity pump test, which ended May 8, 1952, by recording a steady decline during the latter part of that period, reaching a total drawdown of 

0. 7 foot. At New Castle in the summer of 1952, a new well 132 feet deep was ready for production and was used intermittently for the remainder of the year. The general rise in water level 

in well Cd 2 reflects the diminished pumpage from the shallow aquifer when this deeper well is 

pumping. Since the shallow aquifer is recharged locally, the water level also reflects the 

precipitation in the area.

Acknowledgments

The recording gage at New Castle is voluntarily checked each week by Oliver Henderson, 

Chemist, under the direction of Joseph S. Benton, Water Superintendent. The recording gage 

chart at Lewes is changed weekly by the plant operator, Clyde F. House. The recording gage 

at the Governor Bacon Health Center, Delaware City, is maintained by Carl Jorgenson, plart 

operator.

Well-Numbering System

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

"hown in figure 3. To designate the wells, the quadrangles are lettered north to south witl 

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

' ^tters with the capital letter being given first. Within the quadrangles the wells were numbered 

in the order they were scheduled.

INDIANA

By B. W. Swartz and Porter E. Ward

Scope of Water-Level Program

A continuing program of water-level measurements has been in operation since 1935. Observation wells are measured and maintained in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources, as part of the statewide investigation of ground-water 

resources. During the year, measurements were made in 163 wells, 43 of which were equipped 

with recording gages; 32 were selected as representative or key wells and only thes<? latter 

wells appear in this report. Key wells were selected on the basis of the geographical location 

and proximity to weather stations, the geological conditions of occurrence, and the length and 

quality of the record. The key wells Marion 2, Marion 10, and St. Joseph 1 are affected to 

various degrees by nearby pumping. Data from the remaining key wells are believed to be indicative of the ground-water changes at each location and in the nearby areas. The locatfon of key 

wells in Indiana is shown in figure 4 .

P r ecipitation

The winter months of 1952 were mild with above-normal temperatures in January and 

February. There were no periods of severe freezing. Precipitation for the State averaged 

38. 50 inches, which was 0. 73 inch below normal. Precipitation averages for the S^ate were 

below normal in the months of May, July, August, and October through December; the remaining 

months were above normal. The U. S. Weather Bureau has divided Indiana into three nearly equal 

divisions. These three divisions are followed in the explanation of major trends in ground-water 

levels. The accumulated departures from normal precipitation for these three divisi-ms of the 

State in 1952 were as follows: northern division 0. 43 inch above normal, central division 0.11 

inch above normal, and southern division 0.73 inch below normal. Declining water-level trends 

were recorded in the extreme southern and southeastern part of the State during the letter half of 

the year; the result of a gradual deficiency of rainfall which was intensified by some very hot days 

during July. Widespread drought conditions throughout this area were prevented by scattered 

rainfall. By October wooded areas in southern Indiana were so dry that many forest fires 

occurred. Moderate to heavy snowfall covered much of Indiana the first of December. This 

snowfall had but little effect upon the water levels in the northern division of the State. This was 

probably in part owing to frozen ground. In the central division, however, a reversa1 of the downward trends in water levels was noted in some wells during December. A reversal o* water levels 

in some wells was noted in the southern division in December, but owing to the short duration of 

the snow, rapid runoff, and extreme dryness of the soil, these reversals were only temporary at 

a number of locations.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In general, water levels in rock wells were slightly below the levels of last yea'-. Seasonal 

recoveries at the end of the year were not recorded in the majority of the key wells, especially in 

the southern division where most water levels had not been reversed and were still continuing 

downward at the end of the year. Some wells, completed in unconsolidated materials- thatreached 

levels well below those of 1951 started a late but slow seasonal recovery in the fall. The reversal of water levels in these observation wells was primarily due to a deficiency in rainfall during 

the latter part of 1952. The records of a number of wells indicate that the water levels 

are still on a downward trend from the highs reached in 1949-50, the peak of the upward trend in 

water levels which started about 1949. Although the water levels in many wells are I elow those 

recorded during the past 2 or 3 years, these water levels are about normal and if precipitation is 

seasonably normal during the early part of 1953 these water levels should recover to be near normal for the coming year. Figure 5 graphically shows the fluctuations of water level in three 

representative shallow wells completed in unconsolidated materials and not affected I T' pumping. 

Well Steuben 1 is situated in the northern division; Montgomery 1 is in the central division; and 

Clark 1 is in the southern division. Figure 6 is a graph of the water levels of two wells in the 

downtown Indianapolis area that are affected by nearby pumping. The graph plot is a comparison 

between the water level in a gravel well (Marion 2) and a limestone well (Marion 10).

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in Indiana are designated by a 2-letter symbol corresponding to the 

county name in which the well ia situated, followed by a number for successive wells. Fir example, Ma 10 is well 10 in Marion County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

MAINE

By Walter MacDonald, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1952. Five wells were measured veekly 

throughout the year. Three of these, at Amherst (H 1), Cornish (Y 1), and Mercer (Sm 1), are 

in the southern part of the State; two, at Portage (Ar 1) and Sherman Mills (Ar 2), are in the 

northern part of the State. See figure 7 for locations.

P recipitation

Precipitation for the State as a whole during 1952 was 38.17 inches, 2.05 inches below 

normal and 12. 49 inches less than in 1951. July was the driest month and December the wettest.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations in Maine follow a seasonal pattern in response to climatotogical 

conditions. The water levels decline gradually from January through February in southern 

Maine and until middle or late March in the northern sections. With the spring thawing rnd 

melting of the snow cover, the water levels rise abruptly until the advent of the growing season, 

which is normally in middle April in the south and about 2 weeks later in the north. Normal plant 

growth then causes a decline in water levels until mid-September. The levels then rise abruptly 

until the ground is frozen in late October or early November in the north and interior sections 

and somewhat later in the southern and coastal sections, after which a gradual decline sets in. 

The water levels in 1952 were above normal at the beginning of the year as a result of higher 

than normal amounts of precipitation during 1951. Levels followed the normal yearly patterns 

in general until midsummer when, owing to insufficient rainfall, they dropped considerably below 

the yearly average. This dry condition extended through November, delaying the usual rise at 

the end of the growing season until early December when they rose abruptly due to unseafonal 

heavy rainfall and mild temperatures. Water levels rose generally to or close to the sersonal 

average but still represented a net loss in ground-water storage for the year.

Well-Numbering System

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

inventoried.

MASSACHUSETTS

By H. N. Halberg

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Massachusetts, begun in 1938, was continued in 1952 in 

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

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

Measurements were made in 31 wells in Middlesex County in the vicinity of Lowell, in the 

Aberjona Valley, and in the vicinity of Fresh Pond, Cambridge; 3 wells each in Barnstable, Berkshire, and Worcester Counties, 2 in Hampden County, and 1 each in Bristol and Franklin Counties. 

(See fig. 8.)

Precipitation

Precipitation for the State as a whole was above normal from January through June except 

during March, very low in July, and high in August. It was far below normal the rest o" the year 

except during December when it was slightly above normal. Precipitation for the State as a 

whole was 41. 58 inches or 1. 32 inches below normal and 6. 36 inches less than in 1951. Boston 

received 40.60 inches (1. 84 inches above normal), Fitchburg received 47. 55 inches (5. 52 inches 

above normal), and Stockbridge received 42.11 inches (1. 63 inches below normal).

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels throughout Massachusetts which at the beginning of 1952 were high fir the 

time of year continued well above average through May. They rose in January, declined in 

February, and rose to high seasonal levels in March or early April. They then declined during 

the growing season and until November, except for a rise in August, with deficient precipitation 

from July through November except for heavy rain in August. Water levels rose in November 

and December, with above-normal precipitation during the latter month accentuating th? rise. 

There was, however, insufficient precipitation to raise water levels to the high stages of the beginning of the year and there was an appreciable loss in ground-water storage during 1952. At 

the end of the year water levels were below average in northeastern, north-central, and western 

Massachusetts and were above average elsewhere in the State.

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

made throughout the year. There were net declines during the year in all but one of the wells.

Well-Numbering System

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

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

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

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

MICHIGAN

By P. R. Giroux and J. G. Rulison

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in the Southern Peninsula of Michigan was continued during 

1952 in cooperation with the Geological Survey Division of the State Department of Conservation. 

This program includes the maintenance of a network of observation wells to provide basic data on 

changes in storage of principal ground-water reservoirs. Measurements of water levels were 

made in 255 observation wells, 44 of which were equipped with recording gages. In those areas 

in the southern part of the Southern Peninsula which are under intensive study, records of a few 

representative wells are being published. In other parts of the Southern Peninsula, wate^-level 

records have been selected for publication in the annual water-level report on the basis of best 

representation in terms of location, usefulness, and length of record. Water-level data omitted 

from the water-level report will be published in project reports or special reports from time to 

time. Figure 9 shows the location of the wells for which records are published in this report. 

A report entitled, "Water resources of the Detroit area, Michigan, " by C. O. Wisler, G J. 

Stramel, and L. B. Laird, was published as U. S. Geological Survey Circular 183.

A program to observe ground-water temperatures in the Southern Peninsula was continued 

during 1952. Also, many samples of ground and surface water were collected for chemical 

analysis by the Michigan Department of Health to determine quality, trends in quality, ard correlation between ground and surface waters.

Precipitation

The year 1952 was the driest since 1948, with a statewide average precipitation of 29.88 

inches. This was 0. 81 inch below average. However, this year of deficient precipitation was 

preceded by 2 wet years, 1951 being the wettest year of record. The month of February brought 

to an end 8 consecutive months of above-normal precipitation. The period January through April 

had near-average precipitation and above-normal temperatures, creating favorable conditions for 

ground-water recharge. As a result, water levels in observation wells, already high from the 

previous wet years, reached record or near-record highs. Normal seasonal declines were temporarily halted by heavy precipitation in July. Following this period of recharge, water levels 

generally continued to decline to the end of the year. The period September through December, 

normally favorable to ground-water recharge, had an overall deficiency of precipitation of over 

3 inches and consequently there was little recharge to the ground-water reservoir. For the most 

part, end of the year levels were considerably lower than those observed at the end of 19^1.

Pumpage

Records of ground-water withdrawals by municipalities are discussed under the various 

county headings. Generally, ground-water withdrawals reflected higher demands by indrstry, 

increased population in urban and suburban areas, wider use of water-consuming appliances, and 

air-conditioning use. Considerably more water is being used in air conditioning and a large part 

of this increased use is not reflected by municipal pumping records because of the use of privately 

owned wells.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the northern part of the Southern Peninsula, well CrGr 6, near Grayling, is usei as an 

index of the trends in ground-water level in water-table aquifers of this area. Figure 1C illustrates the water-level fluctuations for well CrGr 6, along with precipitation and extremes of 

temperature for the year, on a day-by-day basis. Warm fronts with melting snow and rain in 

late March and early April contributed recharge to the ground-water table so that by April 14 

ground-water levels were at their peak for the year. Unusually warm weather in April and May 

and a deficiency of precipitation in the latter half of April and for the month of May, started an 

early seasonal decline which continued to late June. Heavy rains during late June, July, and 

early August amounted to an excess of more than 6 inches above the average, contributing considerable recharge to the ground-water reservoir. September and October, normally favorable 

to ground-water recharge, were both extremely dry and water levels declined steadily from about

mid-August to early November. At this time, above--average temperatures and precipitation 

resulted in recovery of ground-water levels. Precipitation for the year in this area was about 

4 inches above average but most of the excess occurred during the summer months when conditions are not as favorable for ground-water recharge. Some of the summer precipitation fell 

in the form of heavy storms which resulted in rapid runoff to surface streams. Net loss in water 

levels during the year amounted to about half a foot. Mid-December measurements of water 

levels in 41 shallow wells in the north-central part of the Southern Peninsula indicated that the 

average ground-water stage for the month was 0.69 foot below last year's record December high, 

but still 0.29 foot above the 10-year average December stage. Figure 11 illustrates correlation 

between statewide precipitation, ground-water levels in four scattered observation wells in the 

Southern Peninsula, and the levels of Lakes Michigan-Huron, during the period 1934 through 

1952.

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

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

in the drift. Total precipitation for the year was more than an inch below average. Abovenormal temperatures and precipitation in January resulted in recharge to the ground-water reservoir, so that by the end of January water levels reached their high for the year. Following 

this peak, water levels declined until early March. Precipitation in March and early April 

brought a second rise in ground-water levels. From mid-April levels declined steadily to the 

end of the year. The period September through December, usually favorable to ground-water 

recharge, was deficient in precipitation. Year-end water levels established a new record low 

and were about 2 feet lower than those at the end of 1951. Average daily municipal withdrawals 

of ground water ranged from 0.9 million gallons in November to 1. 5 million gallons in July and 

averaged 1.1 million gallons for the year.

Calhoun County, City of Battle Creek Observation wells in Battle Creek and vicinity are 

finished in the Marshall formation or the glacial drift. Municipal and industrial supplies are 

drawn chiefly from the Marshall formation. Total precipitation for the year at Battle Creek 

was more than 3 inches below average. The period January through May had above-average 

precipitation, accompanied by frequent thaws and warm fronts in January and February, and 

created favorable conditions for ground-water recharge. The highest water levels of the year 

occurred during this time. Below-average precipitation during June started a decline which continued until late in the fall and in some wells to the end of the year. The period August through 

December had a deficiency of precipitation of almost 4 inches, and as a result, little or no recharge was observed during this period. Year-end observations indicated a net average decline 

of about 1| feet in 16 observation wells maintained in the area. Average daily municipal withdrawals of ground water during the year ranged from 5 million gallons in February to 8 million 

gallons in July and averaged 6 million gallons for the year.

City of Marshall The observation well in the city of Marshall is finished in the Marshall 

formation, which is also the source of the municipal water supply. Average daily municipal 

withdrawals of ground water during the year ranged from 0.76 million gallons in January to 1.05 

million gallons in June and averaged 0. 9 million gallons for the year.

Cass County, City of Dowagiac The observation well at the waterworks plant in Dowagiac 

is finished in the glacial drift and is affected by nearby municipal pumping from the drift. Weekly 

water-level measurements by city waterworks personnel during 1952 are being withheld from 

this year's report pending further study. Water levels were high during the winter and early 

spring, after which a decline began which continued more or less through the remainder of the 

year. Total precipitation for the year was about 3 inches below average. The period August 

through December had a deficiency of precipitation of nearly 4 inches. Water levels at the end 

of the year were about 3 feet below those at the end of 1951, owing to increased municipal withdrawals of ground water and a smaller amount of recharge from precipitation during the period 

August through December. Average daily municipal withdrawals of ground water during the year 

ranged from 0. 57 million gallons in January to 1.24 million gallons in October and averaged 

1 million gallons for the year. In comparison, average daily withdrawals in 1951 were 0.67 

million gallons.

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

Saginaw formation and CtES 3 is finished in the glacial drift. Water for municipal use is obtained 

from two wells finished in the glacial drift and one well finished in the Saginaw formation. CtES 1 

reflects changes of water level caused by municipal pumping from the sandstone. Its low stage 

occurred in July and coincided with the peak of municipal pumping from the rock aquifer. High 

levels were observed during the winter months, the period of minimum municipal withdrawal 

from the rock well. A net decline in water level of about 8 feet was observed during the year 

mostly due to increased pumping during the last half of 1952. CtES 3 reflects changes of water 

level caused by municipal pumping from the two drift wells. Highest water levels occurred in 

May and November, with the minimum in October. Year-end water levels in the drift were 

slightly higher than those at the end of 1951. Average daily municipal withdrawals from all three 

municipal wells ranged from 350, 000 gallons in January to 770,000 gallons in August and averaged 

about 520,000 gallons for the year.

Eaton County, City of Charlotte The observation well in Charlotte is finished in glac'il 

drift, which is also the source of municipal supply. Water levels were high during the Janvary 

through May period after which they declined till the end of October, when the low for the y^ar 

occurred. A dry fall season brought little recovery and water levels at the end of the year were 

about 2 feet below those at the close of 1951. Municipal withdrawals of ground water averaged 

570, 000 gallons daily for the year, and ranged from 500, 000 gallons daily in November to 

633, 000 gallons daily in June. The peak daily demand was 870, 000 gallons on August 27.

City of Grand Ledge The observation well in Grand Ledge is finished in the Saginaw formation, the source of the municipal water supply. Precipitation was more than 2 inches be'ow 

normal for the year according to records maintained at the U. S. Weather Bureau station at 

Lansing Municipal Airport. Water levels rose steadily from January through early June an! 

declined throughout the remainder of the year. Despite a near record high in the early June 

period, water levels at the end of the year were only slightly higher than those at the end of 1951. 

The period September through December had a deficiency of almost 3 inches of precipitatior - Increased withdrawals of ground water by the city averaged 710, 000 gallons daily for the year as 

compared with a daily average of 560, 000 for 1951. Average daily withdrawals ranged froir 

410, 000 gallons in November to 900, 000 gallons in June.

Genesee County, City of Flint Observation wells in the Flint area are finished either in the 

glacial drift or Saginaw formation. Burton Township and most industrial well users obtain water 

from the Saginaw formation. The city of Flint obtains its municipal water supply from the Flint 

River. Total precipitation for the year was about an inch more than the average. Above- average 

precipitation occurring during the period January through May combined with above-average temperatures during the winter months, creating favorable conditions for ground-water recharge and 

high water levels prevailed during this period. With deficient precipitation and increased pumping in June, water levels began a decline which lasted until the fall months. The months August 

through October had a cumulative deficiency of precipitation of about 3 inches. End-of-the-year 

levels averaged approximately a foot below those observed at the end of 1951. Average dail" 

withdrawals of ground water from the Saginaw formation by Burton Township were 315, 000 

gallons.

Gratiot County, City of Alma--Observation wells in this area are finished in surf icial or 

buried outwash aquifers. Municipal and industrial water supplies are obtained from wells in the 

buried outwash aquifer. One municipal well, infrequently used, is finished in the Saginaw formation. Total precipitation for the year was more than 4 inches below average. January, July, 

August, November, and December had above-average precipitation. Observation wells finished 

in the surficial outwash general'y were at their highest levels in the March-April period, with 

most of the lows occurring in October. The average decline of ground-water levels, in these 

wells, was about 1% feet. In observation wells finished in the buried outwash high and low water 

levels were scattered throughout the year, owing to changes in distribution of municipal and industrial pumping loads during the year. At the end of the year water levels averaged about 3 feet 

higher than at the end of 1951. This gain was evidently a result of decreased municipal withdrawals of ground water during the period October through December. Pumpage records indicated 

34 million gallons less for this period than for the same period in 1951. Average daily municipal 

withdrawals of ground water ranged from 1. 82 million gallons in July to 1.11 million gallons in 

December and averaged 1. 42 million gallons for the year.

City of St. Louis The observation well in St. Louis is finished in the glacial drift and reflects changes in water level caused by withdrawals of ground water from the nearby industrial 

and municipal wells in the same formation. Maximum water level for the year occurred in September with the minimum in November. The minimum was a new low of record for this observation well. The year-end observed water level was about 14 feet below the level at the end of 1951. 

Municipal withdrawals of ground water averaged 950, 000 gallons daily for the year.

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

Saginaw formation and a few in the glacial drift. With few exceptions, municipal, industrial., and 

vownship wells are finished in the Saginaw formation and the Parma sandstone of Pennsylvanian 

age. Total precipitation for the year was more than 2 inches below the average. Most high 

ground-water levels occurred in the April-May period with lows in the October through December 

Tionths. The months September through December had a cumulative deficiency of precipitation of 

almost 3 inches. Water levels in 16 observation wells finished in the sandstone of the Saginaw 

'ormation averaged about 3 feet lower, and those finished in the glacial drift about 2 feet lower, 

lhan corresponding levels at the end of 1951. Records of municipal withdrawals of ground water 

iy Lansing, East Lansing, Landel Metropolitan District, and Michigan State College, indicate 

"hat the average daily withdrawals for the year ranged from 19.2 million gallons in February to 

22. 2 million gallons in July, and averaged 20.1 million gallons daily for the year.

City of Mason The observation well in Mason is finished in the Saginaw formation am? the 

-nunicipal wells are finished in the glacial drift. After high levels in the winter months, a decline started in March, continuing more or less to the end of the year. A dry fall which brought

1 ittle and late recovery of ground-water levels resulted in a net decline for the year of about

2 feet. Average daily municipal withdrawals of ground water from the drift ranged from
56 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHEASTERN STATES

300,000 gallons in November to 580,000 gallons in March and averaged 410 000 gallons for the 

year.

Jackson County, City of Jackson--The observation well in Jackson is finished in sandstone 

at the city's Belden Road well field and reflects changes in water level caused by withdrawals by 

municipal wells finished in the same formation. Total precipitation for the year was about 

5 inches below average. High water levels occurred during the months of April and May, with 

lows in December. The period September through December, normally favorable to groundwater recharge.had an accumulated deficiency of precipitation ol more than 3 inches. As a 

result, water levels declined steadily during this period. Year-end water levels were several 

feet below those observed at the beginning of the year. Average daily muni-.ipal withdrawals of 

ground water ranged from 8.8 million gallons in January to 11. 9 million ga^'ons in July and 

averaged about 10 million gallons for the year.

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

glacial drift, as are municipal and industrial wells. Total precipitation for the year was more 

than \\ inches below average. Water levels reached highs in January, Apr'?, and May, with lows 

occurring in August and the months October through December. The period August through 

December had a deficiency of precipitation of over 5 inches, and as a resul 1 year-end water levels 

were generally lower than those at the end of 1951, averaging about 0. 7 foo* decline for the year. 

Average daily municipal withdrawals of ground water ranged from 7. 2 million gallons in January 

to 11.9 million gallons in July and 8.2 million gallons for the year.

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

drift as are municipal and most industrial supplies. All months, except January, September, and 

November, were below average in precipitation. Total annual precipitation Was more than 

5 inches below average. Observation well OaPT 1 at the Walnut Street pvmping station reflects 

changes in water level caused by municipal withdrawals of ground water from the drift. High 

water levels for the year occurred in January and February. The low for the year, in August, 

was the lowest of record for any month since the start of record in 1939. Maximum and minimum water levels coincided generally with low and peak municipal withdravals of ground water. 

Average daily withdrawals of ground water by the city of Pontiac ranged from 10. 5 million gallons 

in January and November to 15. 3 million gallons in June and averaged 11.9 million gallons for 

the year.

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

drift. The city of Holland obtains its municipal water supplies from wells finished in the shallow 

and deeper aquifers of the glacial drift. Industrial supplies are also obtainsd mostly from the drift. 

Total annual precipitation was more than 2 inches above average. However, February, April, 

September, and October, months usually favorable to ground-water recharge, had a total deficiency of precipitation of almost 5 inches. The period July and August was wet with almost 

10 inches of precipitation recorded, but some of this rainfall occurred in the form of heavy storms 

which resulted in rapid runoff to surface streams. High water levels for the year occurred in 

April and June, with lows in November and December. In areas of large municipal withdrawals, 

water levels showed a net decline for the year of from 5 to 6 feet. In other areas, net changes 

ranged from a decline of about 3| feet to a gain of 3/10ths of a foot. Average daily municipal 

withdrawals of ground water ranged from 1. 98 million gallons in January to 3. 84 million gallons 

in July, and averaged 2. 66 million gallons for the year.

MENOMINEE RIVER BASIN

By H. C. Boback

Scope of Water-Level Program

Periodic depth-to-water measurements were continued during 195? in 32 observation wells 

of the Menominee River basin in the Northern Peninsula of Michigan. During the year depth-towater measurements in one observation well IrCf 1, W. M.P. No. 22 were discontinued and 

a recording gage was installed on well Irlr 2, W. M. P. No. 25. The dep*h-to-water measurements included in this report, except measurements in wells Irlr 1, Irlr 2, and MqRe 1, have 

been made by the personnel of the Wisconsin-Michigan Power Company end furnished to the 

U. S. Geological Survey. The abbreviation W. M. P. refers to Wisconsir-Michigan Power Company and is followed by their well number. Example: W. M. P. No. 6.

P r ec ipitation

The total 1952 precipitation for the Menominee River basin was 27. 79 inches. This was 

2. 36 inches below the normal annual precipitation for the 44 years of precipitation records 

collected by the Wisconsin-Michigan Power Company.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Low air temperatures and frozen ground terminated ground-water recharge causing groun, 

water levels of the Menominee River basin to decline gradually from November 1951 to March i
MICHIGAN, DICKINSON COUNTY 97

With increasing air temperatures and the melting of 55 inches of snow cover ground-water levels 

rose an average of 2. 5 feet during April. Because of only normal precipitation during the first 

three months of 1952 and below-normal precipitation during April, water levels began anot'ier 

decline in May and continued through June.

During July precipitation was abnormally high, a total of 8. 50 inches of rain fell on the 

basin and resulted in a new monthly record high for 44 years of record. As a result of the large 

amount of rain, ground-water levels rose an average of 0. 7 of a foot. Following the high precipitation of July a period of below-normal precipitation began in August and continued through 

most of November, and as a result ground-water levels began a decline in August that continued 

to the end of the year. The average decline from July to December was 2. 6 feet, and the 

December 1952 level was about 2 feet lower than the December 1951 level.

Well-Numbering System

The first pair of letters consists of an uppercase and a lowercase letter indicating t\ e 

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

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

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observationnwell program in New Hampshire inaugurated in 1942 was continued in 

1952. Three wells were utilized for measurements: two, Hill 1 and New London 1, inlferrimack 

County, measured weekly; and one, Auburn 8, in Rockingham County, equipped with a recording 

gage. See figure 12 for locations.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the State as a whole during 1952 was 41. 97 inches, 2. 48 inches above 

normal and 7. 40 inches less than in 1951. Precipitation was close to or above normal except 

from July through November. October was the driest month and December the wettest.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The water levels in New Hampshire follow a seasonal pattern. Water levels remain 

constant through February with occasional deviations depending on local periods of thawing and 

freezing. They then rise during March and early April until plant growth commences, resulting 

in a decline which continues through October. During the remainder of the year water levels 

generally rise until the ground is frozen. In 1952 water levels were at or slightly above average 

at the beginning of the year. They then followed the seasonal pattern until October with a rise in 

March and April and a decline from then on. The levels were somewhat below the averrge in 

southernmost New Hampshire but elsewhere approximated the seasonal pattern. The decline 

continued through November due to deficient rainfall and the normal rise in levels was delayed 

until December when abnormally high precipitation brought the levels up to normal. Water levels 

were approximately the same at year's end as in 1951, resulting in no net loss or gain in groundwater storage.

Acknowledgments

The Manchester Water Works continued periodic measurements of water levels at Auburn 8 

and maintained the recording gage installed on this well.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in New Hampshire are numbered on a town basis in the order that the wells are 

inventoried.

NEW JERSEY

By Charles R. Austin

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in New Jersey was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the 

State Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and 

Supply. Measurements were made in 200 wells. Measurements were made monthly or less 

frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and several times a day in those whiih were being 

observed during pumping tests. At the end of the year, continuous records from recording gages 

were being obtained from 88 wells. Figure ISshows the location of the wells, the records of 

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

Salem County. Figures 14 and 15 show the wells reported in these areas.

P recipitation

Precipitation for the year 1952 averaged 54.70 inches and it was for the Strte as a whole 

the wettest year since 1903. The northern quarter of the State received the greatest rainfall. 

This area includes Bergen and Essex Counties, in which are wells whose water levels are reported in this section. During the year, rainfall was normal or above normal each month 

throughout the State except during October. The result of this continuously high precipitation 

caused many wells to show record highs and generally higher average levels than in the last few 

years.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Atlantic County. --In the Atlantic City area, the artesian pressure in the Atlantic City Water 

Works well (36.13.2. 9.1) at Pleasantville, which taps the Atlantic City 800-foot sand unit of the 

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

pumping from these sands, the level until June 5 was approximately one-half foot below that of 

1951. Above-average rainfall brought these levels up in June to those of 1951 anc1 continued the 

same as 1951 for the balance of the year. In the Longport well (30.23.1.9.6), wf ich also taps 

the Atlantic City 800-foot sand unit of the Kirkwood formation, the water levels followed the same 

general pattern as in preceding years, which is a seasonal decline during the morths of June, 

July, and August, and the recovery which starts immediately after Labor Day, at which time 

most of the hotels in this area close for the season. The levels in this well were approximately 

the same during 1952 as in 1951. On January 1, 1952, the level was 43. 8 feet below msl and on 

December 31, 1952,the reading was 44.7 feet below msl, compared with 43. 5 feet below msl on 

January 1, 1951, and 44. 0 feet below msl on December 31, 1951. In general water levels in the 

Atlantic City area have been declining during the last few years owing to increased pumping. The 

above-average rainfall of 1952 may have checked this decline to some extent and a decrease in 

pumping in some sections may also be a contributing factor.

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

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

average was about 8 feet higher than in 1951. .The water level on January 1, 1952, was 39. 8 feet 

above msl compared with 21. 9 feet above msl on January 1, 1950; and on December 31, 1952, the 

level was 41. 8 feet above msl compared with 30.0 feet above msl on the same date in 1950. This 

increase can be attributed to the excessive rainfall in the northern counties of the State. The 

same trend was also observed in the Garfield well (26. 3.1. 7. 3) until May 15, 1952, on which date 

the level dropped to about the same as those of 1951 and remained approximately the same for the 

balance of the year. Increased industrial usage near this well might be the reasor for this 

decline.

Burlington County. A number of record highs were recorded in the Penn State Forest well 

(32.23. 6. 6. 8) from January through August. This can be attributed to above-normal rainfall.

Camden County. --In the Camden area, water levels were slightly below there of 1951. A 

low of 30. 5 feet below msl was observed in the New Jersey Water Company well 10 (31. 2. 4. 5.1) 

on June 28, 1952, in comparison with the record low of 31. 2 feet below msl recorded on 

August 18, 1951. These lows can be attributed mainly to increased pumping in thi<? area.

112 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Cape May County. The water level in the American Ice Company w?ll (36. 22. 6. 8.2) was 

approximately 5 feet higher throughout the year than in 1951. This can be attributed partly to a 

slight decline in usage due to increased rainfall during the lawn sprinkling season.

The Normandie Hotel well (36. 22. 6. 9.1) maintained a level comparative with the years of 

1950 and 1951. These levels at the beginning and end of each year were at out 35 feet below msl. 

The extreme of range during the pumping season of June, July, and August was approximately 

62. 5 feet below msl for the past 3 years.

Middlesex County. --The Joseph Morrell well (29.11.1.2.3), near Old Bridge in Middlesex 

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

that it is not affected by pumping. During the year 1952 this well showed levels slightly higher 

than average except during the months of April, May, July, and November. Water levels began 

their usual seasonal decline on June 1, and on June 9 fell to below average where they stayed, 

with the exception of July 17-20, until August 6. Heavy rainfall on this date caused the levels to 

rise abruptly to approximately 2 feet above average and further rainfall maintained these levels 

above average for the balance of the year except for the period from'October 25 to November 19. 

Figure 16 is a composite hydrograph which shows the highest, lowest, and average water levels at 

the end of each day from 1923 to 1951. The 1952 record has been plotted as a separate line to 

show its relation to the average and record highs and lows. In the Runyon area (see fig. 14) 

water levels were generally higher than last year, when a number of record lows were recorded. 

This rise in the water level can be attributed to above average rainfall during the year.

Monmouth County. --The Rulif Hulsart well (29.11.1. 2. 9) is a reliab'e index of groundwater leve.ls in this area. A composite hydrograph (figure 17) showing the highest, lowest, and 

average end-of-day water levels for the years 1936 to 1952, indicates the seasonal trends. 

Throughout the year, except the month of December, water levels were approximately 1 foot 

higher than average. For the period of May 11 to June 30 record highs for these days were recorded. The levels followed the usual seasonal pattern and during the month of December were 

closely following the annual average.

Salem County. Record highs were observed in 15 wells in Salem Co-mty (see fig. 15): 14 

occurred in February and 1 in May. Fourteen of these wells were driven for observation purposes and all but 2 tap the Cape May formation, one of which is in the Magothy and Raritan formation and the other in Cohansey sand. Levels at the end of the year wer<? above average in 

nearly all wells in this county.

Union County. A record high was observed in the Union County Par!' Commission well 

(26. 21. 5. 4. 6) on June 2 when the reading was 65. 94 feet above msl. The previous high occurred 

on December 31, 1945, when the level was 65. 02 feet above msl. The water level in this well 

was above average from January through June; during the last half of July and the first week in 

August the level was about average; the last 3 weeks in August, all of September, and the first 

half of October, was above average; the rest of October was average; November fell below 

average due to deficient rainfall in October; and the level was about average in December.

Well-Numbering System

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

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

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

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

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

rectangles and numbered in the same way.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Long Island was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the 

Nassau County Department of Public Works, the Suffolk County Board of S ipervisors, the 

Suffolk County Water Authority, and the New York State Water Power and Control Commission. 

Measurements were made in about 650 observation wells, 41 of which wers equipped with recording gages. Water-level data for 183 of these wells, including daily readings at 24 recording 

gages, are included in this report. Figures 18-22 show the location of observation wells on Long 

Island. Additional water-level measurements for previous years, 1947 through 1950, are 

included in U. S. Geological Survey Circular 167,"The recovery of ground-water levels in 

Brooklyn, N. Y., from 1947 to 1950," byN. J. Lusczynski. Published and unpublished waterlevel data may be inspected at the offices of the U. S. Geological Survey OT Long Island and also 

at the offices of the cooperating agencies.

Precipitation

Precipitation on Long Island in 1952 averaged about 49 inches at 23 stations operated by the 

U. S. Weather Bureau and other agencies, and was approximately 5 inches above normal in most 

parts of the island. Thus the above-normal precipitation of 9 inches durirn; the past 2 years 

largely counteracted the 10-inch deficiency of 1949 and 1950. Precipitation during 1952 ranged 

from 40. 94 inches at Patchogue in southern Suffolk County to 60. 92 inches at the Lake Ronkonkoma 

station in west-central Suffolk County. The Battery Station in New York City (longest continuous 

record near the western end of Long Island) recorded 46. 71 inches of precipitation, 3.72 inches 

above normal; the Setauket station (longest continuous record in eastern Long Island), 44. 09 

inches, 1. 00 inch below normal; the Mineola station in central Nassau Cornty, 47.73 inches, 

4. 08 inches above normal; and the Riverhead Research station in eastern Suffolk County, 44.61 

inches, 2. 26 inches above normal. In general, precipitation was above normal in Long Island 

during the first half of the year, but was somewhat deficient in the latter I alf.

Pumpage

The gross withdrawal of ground water on Long Island averaged abou* 230 million gallons 

daily in 1952, according to information furnished by the New York State Water Power and Control 

Commission, the Nassau County Department of Public Works, and other sources. About 130 

million gallons daily were used for public supply, about 70 million gallons daily for industrial 

uses, and the remainder for agricultural and miscellaneous uses. Pumpage on Long Island during 

1952 was about 15 million gallons daily more than that in 1951. This increase reflects the continuing growth of population in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and the graduil increase in the use of 

ground water for supplemental irrigation in eastern Suffolk County. Incluied in the total amount 

is the withdrawal by the city of New York from its pumping installations in Nassau and Queens 

Counties which averaged only 2^'million gallons daily during the year, a decrease of about \k 

million gallons daily from the amount withdrawn in 1951. Total ground-water withdrawals from 

Long Island by the city of New York averaged as high as about 55 million gallons daily in 1949 and 

about 50 million gallons daily in 1950 during the so-called water-shortage emergency. By 

counties, the greatest withdrawal in 1952, amounting to about 40 percent of the total, was made 

in Nassau. Of the remainder, about 24 percent was made in Queens, about 25 percent in Suffolk, 

and about 11 percent in Kings. By aquifers, about 55 percent of the withdrawals were made from 

deposits of late Pleistocene age, about 5 percent from the Jameco gravel, about 30 percent 

from the sands of the Magothy(?) formation, and about 10 percent from the Lloyd sand member 

of the Raritan formation. Recharge of used water to underground formations in 1952 averaged 

about 115 million gallons daily. Of this amount it is estimated that about 75 million gallons daily 

were returned by cesspools, septic tanks, and leaching basins, and about 40 million gallons daily 

by wells. As a result, net withdrawals in 1952 on Long Island were about 115 million gallons 

daily, or about half the gross withdrawals.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

There are four main aquifers that yield large supplies of ground water on Long Island. The 

upper and most productive of these consists of extensive outwash deposits of late Pleistocene 

age, which, in some places, are overlain by impervious material. The second aquifer, the 

Jameco gravel, which is an earlier outwash deposit of Pleistocene age, hai been identified so 

far only in the western part of the island and is thought to be covered in most places by the 

Gardiners clay, an interglacial deposit. The third aquifer, the Magothy(?) formation of Late 

Cretaceous age, consists of widespread beds of sand, gravel, and clay. O-er most of the island, 

this formation is in direct contact with the overlying beds of outwash of Pleistocene age, but in 

the western part, is covered by either the Gardiners clay or the Jameco gravel. Except for a 

persistent coarse zone in the lower part of the formation, no other widespread water-bearing 

zones are recognized, though productive wells have been screened at various other depths 

throughout the remainder of the formation. The fourth and lowermost aquifer, the Lloyd sand 

member of the Raritan formation, also of Late Cretaceous age, lies just above the bedrock 

floor of the island and is covered alirost everywhere by the thick clay meirber of the Raritan 

formation. The Lloyd sand member consists of beds of sand, gravel, and clay.

The shallow-lying outwash of late Pleistocene age constitutes a vast reservoir into which 

water derived from precipitation can readily sink and from which water can be readily and 

economically withdrawn. The fluctuation of the water table in these deposits chiefly reflects 

changes in the rate of precipitation. However, in localities where the safe withdrawal has been 

exceeded, water-level fluctuations are more the result of changes in rates of pumping than of 

changes in the rate of precipitation. In contrast, the water in the deeper sands is under artesian 

pressure and is recharged (through relatively small intake areas) by water percolating down from 

the overlying formations. Fluctuations of water levels in the deeper sands, therefore, are 

controlled chiefly by changes in the rate of pumping. Thus, the safe withdrawal from the deposits 

of late Pleistocene age is governed primarily by the precipitation rate, ichereas the safe withdrawal from the deeper beds is limited by the capacity of the beds to receive and transmit water 

from the area of recharge to points of withdrawal. Fluctuations of water l3vels in the watertable and artesian formations on Long Island express changes in storage resulting from variations 

in the difference between replenishment and discharge, both natural and artificial. When recharge exceeds discharge, storage increases and water levels rise. Conversely, when discharge 

exceeds recharge, storage decreases and water levels decline.

The configuration of the water table in Long Island may be divided in*o two main hydrologic 

provinces, namely, (1) western Long Island and (2) central and eastern Loig Island. In western 

Long Island, excessive pumping during years prior to 1947 lowered the wa*er table below sea 

level in a large area of Kings County and adjacent parts of Queens County. However, in central 

and eastern Long Island, perennial recharge exceeds withdrawals substantially, and, consequently, the water table continues to remain above sea level at all but a few places along the shore 

line where local overdevelopment has occurred. During 1S52, the water table was as high as 

83 feet above sea level in central Nassau County. In the overdeveloped area in western Long 

Island the major fluctuations of the water table reflect changes in the amounts and distribution of 

pumpage as well as the over-all rate of withdrawal, whereas in other parts of the island, the 

major fluctuations are chiefly the result of variations in precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration. In Kings County (Brooklyn) in western Long Island, the water table and artesian levels 

recovered in 1S52 at faster rates than in the previous 3 years, with rises of as much as 5 feet 

being measured during the year in some areas. This upward trend of water levels in Brooklyn 

has been more or less continuous since 1947 when a private company shut down permanently its 

entire plant, from which about 27 million gallons daily had been previously pumped. Before 1947 

ground-water levels were above sea level only in the extreme southern sections of the county. 

In December 1S52 the water table was above sea level, by as much as 5 feet in places, in more 

than the entire southern half of Brooklyn. The recovery during the past 5i years ranged from 12 

to 18 feet in the northern sections and averaged more than 19 feet in central Brooklyn. At well 

K30 (fig. 23) in the heart of the industrialized northwestern section of Brooklyn, the recovery of 

water levels totaled 5. 5 feet in 1952, and 18. 0 feet since June 1S47.

The water table in central and eastern Long Island was slightly above normal in December 

1952 and about 1 foot above the previous year's levels. Ground-water levels in these sections 

were somewhat higher than in 1946 and 1947, indicating a small net increase in storage during 

the intervening six years. The general trend of ground-water levels in central Long Island is 

expressed satisfactorily by the average water level of 14 selected wells in Nassau aad Suffolk 

Counties (fig. 23). These wells are N1255, N1256, N125S, N1263, N1614, N1615, and N1616 in 

Nassau County, and S1803, S1805, S1806, S1807, S1808, S180S, and S1810 in Suffolk County. 

During 1952 the average water level in these wells rose 0. 80 foot to a stag^of 47. 26 feet above 

mean sea level, which is slightly above normal for December. The net riw% in the average level 

since December 1S47 was 0. 50 foot for the 14 selected wells. In general,' $ater levels in the 

north and south forks of eastern Suffolk Ctrtinty fcere slightly higher in 1S52 than in 1951. A 

gradual upward trend in water levels has been noted fn both forks since 194S and 1S50.

144 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHEASTFRN STATES

There are approximately 100 artesian observation wells on Long Island. Of these, 44 are 

now used only for periodic observational purposes. The remainder are publ'i-water supply, 

industrial, and agricultural wells in which measurements are made when the wells are not in 

use; at these wells, systematic readings cannot be obtained conveniently. Ir general, water 

levels rose during 1952 in all artesian formations, as well as in the water table. However, at 

well N7 (fig. 23)," screened in the Lloyd sand member of the Raritan formation, a downward 

trend in water levels, though interrupted at times, has been apparent since about 1944. A 

similar trend has been noted at well N1613, which is in the vicinity of well N7, but is screened 

in the lower part of the Magothy(?) formation. At well N9 (fig. 23), screened in the shallower 

sands of the Magothy(?) formation in this same general location, water levels have shown no 

long-range rise or decline since observations were begun in 1936. Readings have been taken at 

the following artesian wells which were either unused or constructed primarily for observational 

purposes:

Acknowledgments

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

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

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

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

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells on Long Island are numbered by the New York State V"ater Power and 

Control Commission. The letter prefixing the number is the initial letter of the county in which 

the well is situated; the number has no geographical significance in that Long Island wells are 

numbered more or less with respect to the order of drilling since about 1933.

The following tables include a summary of data pertaining to ground-wa*er levels for Long 

Island and the net change in water levels during 1952:

UPSTATE NEW YORK

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Upstate New York (fig. 24) was continued during 19^2, 

primarily as part of the investigation of ground-water resources in cooperation with the St^te 

Water Power and Control Commission. The program included collection of water-level dsia by 

means of a statewide network of observation wells, county surveys of ground-water conditions, 

and pumping tests to determine the physical properties of various aquifers. During the ye-w, 

measurements of depth-to-water were made in 48 wells. Continuous records of water-level 

fluctuations were obtained from 14 other wells equipped with recording gages, two of which were 

measured by the Surface Water Branch of the Geological Survey as part of a hydrologic investigation in cooperation with the State Department of Conservation.

Ground-water reports in which water-level measurements are listed were published during 

the year as follows: "The ground-water resources of Wayne County, New York," and "The 

ground-water resources of Schenectady County, New York, " as Bulletins GW-29 and GW-?0 of the 

New York Water Power and Control Commission; "Water resources of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls 

region, " as Circular 173 of the U. S. Geological Survey. A report on the water resources of 

the Rochester area and a report on the ground-water resources of Bronx, Manhattan, and 

Richmond Counties were prepared during the year.

P r ecipitation

The average precipitation in 1952 for New York, including Long Island, was 38. 5 inches or 

0. 66 inch below normal. Precipitation was spread quite uniformly throughout the State du.-ing the 

early months of the year. However, for an extended period during the growing season weetern 

counties suffered from lack of rain while southern counties received abundant rain. Toward the 

end of the year above-normal amounts of precipitation were received in all parts of the Sta*:e with 

the exception of the far western counties where less than normal precipitation continued.

Pumpage

Pumpage data were compiled and tabulated for the two most important areas of groundwater pumpage, the Schenectady area and the triple-cities area of Binghamton, Johnson Ci*y, and 

Endicott. Neither these two areas of heaviest pumpage nor any other known area in Upstate New 

York are believed to have undergone excessive pumpage by the end of 1952, although the Aisco 

Corporation at Binghamton was artificially recharging its aquifers to safeguard its supply.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The year began with water levels above average in most wells and rising at the expected 

seasonal rate. During January water levels continued to rise and to hold their position relative to 

average. Some wells in the western part of the State reached their annual peak during thie month. 

In February there was an abnormal reverse in trend, which was probably the result of less than 

normal precipitation, part remaining as unmelted snow. The seasonal upward trend of wa*er 

levels was resumed in March,bringing them to near-normal stages. In April most levels dropped 

to below-normal stages. Exceptions were water level? in northern and eastern New York which 

continued rising to stages considerably above average. In many weils the downward seasonal 

trend began at the beginning of the growing season in May, although in northern and east-central 

New York water levels continued to rise. Many homes in sand-plain areas in the general vicinity 

of Scotia and Schenectady were troubled with flooded cellars and septic tanks. The May le^el in 

an observation well at Scotia in the lower Mohawk Valley was the highest observed in the 27 years 

of record. By the end of June downward trend of the water table was established in all wefls,and 

levels in western counties were below average, a position they held till the end of the year. 

During July, August, and September, the declining trend throughout the State continued at a 

greater than average rate bringing levels in northern and eastern New York near or below normal 

and those in western counties far below normal. In late September the seasonal trend upward 

began on schedule only in northern New York. Water levels in other areas continued downward 

even during October and much of November; and record lows were recorded for many well'' in

western and central counties. Above-normal precipitation caused water levels in all wells to 

trend upward at a rapid rate in December, resulting in normal stages in nrost wells by the end of 

December, although some in the western counties were still below normal. (See fig. 25.)

Well-Numbering System

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

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

OHIO

By W. C. Walton

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Ohio was continued during 1952 in cooperation with the 

Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Water and Wildlife, t*te State University 

Engineering Experiment Station, the Commissioners of Hamilton County, and the city of Canton. 

During the year, water-level measurements were made in approximately 155 wells, of which 133 

were equipped with recording gages. There were 9 new observation wells added to the program 

in 1952 and measurements in Swells were discontinued. The records of 8" wells are included in 

this report. Figures 26-31 show the location of the wells. The remainder are classified either 

as candidate or project wells. Bulletin 25, entitled "Ground-water levels in Ohio 1949-50, " 

was published in July 1952 by the State Department of Natural Resources. Two reports of investigations, one describing the ground-water resources of Cuyahoga County, the other describing 

the physical properties of an aquifer at Ada, were prepared during the year. Water-level data 

were also collected by means of county well surveys, aquifer-rating tests, and extensive hydrologic studies at Canton, Newark, and in the Upper Little Miami River basin.

Pr ecipitaticn

The statewide average of total precipitation in 1952 was 35. 25 inches, or 2. 53 inches below 

normal. Precipitation deficiencies occurred during the period of May through December. The 

principal month of departure below normal precipitation was October at 1. 49 inches below normal. Water shortages were serious during October and November. The below-normal precipitation coincident with above-normal temperatures during the summer and fall of 1952 reduced 

ground-water storage considerably. Months most favorable for ground-wrter recharge in 1952 

were January, March, and April. January was excessively wet with 4.95 inches or 1. 98 inches 

above-normal precipitation.

Pumpage

In heavily pumped areas fluctuations in water levels in observation Tells reflect variations 

in pumping rates in addition to variations in the annual recharge and discharge cycle. Pumpage 

from the glacial gravels at Dayton has increased from about 91 million gallons per day in 1947 to 

over 100 million gallons per day in 1952. As a result of this incrase in withdrawal rates, the 

lowest yearly water levels are declining. Only a slight downward trend, however, has been detected in the highest yearly water levels. Ground-water storage is apparently reduced during 

periods of low streamflow and heavy pumping, but is replenished by induced infiltration from 

the Miami and the Mad Rivers during high flow periods. The troughs of th° hydrographs have increased in size during the last few years. The trend of water levels in Mt-2 shown on figure 32 

is typical of water-level conditions at Dayton. Water levels declined to nev record lows in 

September and December. The rise of water levels during the late fall wa' below normal. The 

peak levels during February, April, and May were lowest of the period of record. A detailed 

quantitative study to evaluate the ground-water resources of the Dayton arra was started in 

October 1952.

At Canton the water levels in the business and industrial sections an? still recovering from 

record lows in 1945. Industrial and municipal pumpage from the glacial g-avels in the city 

proper has been considerably reduced since 1945. The hydrograph of observation well St-6, 

figure 33, shows the rise of water levels in Canton proper. The municipal water department has 

spread its pumping to four scattered locations. The bulk of the water is primped from the glacial 

gravels along the west and middle branches of Nimishillen Creek in the northeast and northwest 

well fields. Municipal pumpage averaged 17.66 mgd in 1951, and 18. 51 m?d in 1952. Pumpage 

from the northeast well field was increased during 1952. The record of water levels in St-4, 

shown on figure 33, indicates that recharge is derived from induced infiltration from the middle 

branch of Nimishillen Creek sufficient to balance the amount of discharge. Storage in the aquifer 

typically is reduced during the summer and fall months but is replenished in the early spring 

when streamflow is high. A detailed quantitative study is being conducted to determine more 

about infiltration conditions along the middle branch of Nimishillen Creek. Water levels in the 

northwest well field along the west branch of Nimishillen Creek, shown by the hydrograph of

OHIO, ASHTABULA COUNTY 211

St-11, figure 33, are declining despite a reduction in the rate of pumping. This indicates that 

discharge still is greater than recharge. The decline in water levels outside Canton proper was 

greater in 1952 than in 1951, and was continuing at the end of the year. About average pe?k 

levels occurred in February and April.

Ground-water conditions in the Mill Creek valley, in Hamilton County, north of Cincinnati, 

have improved since completion of the new industrial water-supply development in the Miami 

River valley. Twelve industries in the Mill Creek valley began purchasing water from the 

Southwest Ohio Water Company June 1, 1952, and reduced their rate of pumping accordingly. 

The Southwest Ohio Water Company presently is pumping 15 mgd from a water collector along 

the Miami River in Hamilton County. The hydrograph of well 270-T-7,shown in figure 34, 

illustrates the rise of water levels in the glacial gravels in the southern part of Mill Creek valley 

that resulted from the reduction in the rate of pumping. The water-level record from we1 ' 237-3, 

shown on figure 34, is characteristic of the trend in the central part of Mill Creek valley where 

the effects of the reduction in the rate of pumping were not as pronounced. Water levels in the 

northern part of Mill Creek valley have been only slightly affected by pumping, and seasoml fluctuations are similar to those in wells in unpumped areas of Ohio. The hydrograph of well 180 in 

southern Butler County is typical. Water levels in the vicinity of the city of Hamilton declined 

to a new record low in 1952. Ground-water conditions at Middletown are revealed by the record 

of well 36-13. Ground-water storage in the Miami River valley in Butler County was stfl decreasing at the end of the year. The 1952 spring recharge was a little below normal. Peak 

levels occurred during February, April, and May.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Ground-water levels in many of the observation wells in Ohio that were unaffected t" heavy 

pumping were lower at the end of 1952 than in all previous years of record. In about 40 percent 

of the observation wells the water levels declined to record lows in November and December and 

they were still receding at the end of the year. The seasonal declines in most wells in Ohio 

generally terminate by the middle of December. Water levels generally begin to rise in November and December as a result of the precipitation that normally falls after the end of the growing 

season when transpiration and evaporation losses are at a minimum. Peak levels in 195f were 

reached in many wells during the last two weeks in April or the first two weeks of May because 

of the seasonal concentration of precipitation. Recharge to ground-water storage during the 

spring months of 1952 was about average. The decline of water levels during the summer and 

fall months of 1952 did not terminate in November or December but continued into 1953. Loss 

of storage in the ground-water reservoirs of Ohio therefore continued through December. 

Natural discharge exceeded recharge during that period. Less than average precipitation and 

relatively high temperatures during November and December were responsible for the extended 

decline in water levels. Because of the lack of precipitation, stream flow was sustained by a 

greater than average proportion of ground-water runoff. The trends of ground-water levels in 

Ohio, in wells unaffected by heavy pumping, are exemplified by 14 hydrographs shown in figures 

35 through 38.

Well-Numbering System

The observation wells for which records are given in this report, with the exception of 

those in the Mill Creek valley and Miami Valley areas of Butler and Hamilton Counties, are 

identified by a number prefixed by letters which are abbreviations of the counties as shovn in 

figures 26 through 31. The same prefix is used for all wells in a particular county. The wells 

in the areas in Butler and Hamilton Counties are identified by numbers. The wells are numbered 

consecutively, beginning in the northern end of Butler County, according to their geographic 

location.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Pennsylvania was continued in 1952 in cooperation with 

the Topographic and Geologic Survey, Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs. Measurements were made in 93 wells in 35 counties. Measurements were made monthly or less 

frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and several times a day in those which w«re being 

observed during pumping tests. At the end of the year, continuous records from recording gages 

were being obtained from 16 wells. Figure 39 shows the location of wells for which records are 

given in this report, except those in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas. Figure 40 shows the 

location of wells in the Philadelphia area and figure 41 shows the location of wells in the 

Pittsburgh area.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the year 19S2 averaged 46.81 inches; it was for the State as a whole the 

third consecutive year with above-normal precipitation. Precipitation at most statiors west of 

the mountains was below normal, but in the area east of the mountains above normal. The high 

precipitation resulted in record high water levels in many wells and higher average levels 

generally than during the last few years.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Most of the observation wells in Pennsylvania are in rural areas and the water levels are 

unaffected by pumping from other wells; therefore they reflect, in general, natural changes in 

ground-water storage. A rise of water level can be attributed to local precipitation o- a rise of 

stage in a nearby stream that is hydraulically related to the aquifer tapped by the observation 

well; and a decline of water level can be attributed to seepage losses to nearby strearrs or 

flattening of the water table in an extensive aquifer, or to transpiration and evaporation losses to 

the atmosphere.

In Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties most observation wells tap aquifers froir- which 

moderate to large continuous withdrawals are made and water-level records indicate primarily 

changes in pressure head caused by changes in the rate or locus of the pumping. Interpretation 

of fluctuations of water level in any well in the Philadelphia or Pittsburgh areas therefore requires 

careful study of the local pumping conditions.

In January and February record Ugh water levels were observed in nearly all wells which 

tap valley-fill sediments of Pleistocene and Recent age in the Triangle area of Pittsburgh. These 

highs can be attributed primarily to abnormally high stages of the adjacent rivers whi^h provide 

most of the recharge to the aquifers; however, they are partly the result of reduced withdrawal of 

ground water for air conditioning during the preceding summer. Water-levels in wells which tap 

bedrock aquifers showed no appreciable change from previous years.

Record highs were observed in wells tapping the shallow sand and gravel aquifers at the 

United States Naval Base during the last week in May in the southern part of Philadelphia County. 

Record highs occurred during the same week at two other wells in South Philadelphia, one of 

which is in an area of heavy industrial pumping. Water levels in wells tapping the basal sand and 

gravel aquifer, of Cretaceous age, were comparable with those of previous years.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are designated by a two-letter abbreviation of the name of the county and a serial 

number beginning with 1. The location is shown by the part of the number enclosed by parentheses. 

A location number consists of letters and figures which identify a small area within which one or 

more wells are situated. Along the west border of the map of Pennsylvania (fig. 39) are letters 

A through L (except I) and along the north border are numbers 1 through 25. Each of these letters 

and numbers corresponds to 15 minutes of longitude and latitude, respectively. Therefore, a 

letter-number such as "K3" refers to a quadrangle area 15 minutes on a side with "K" as its west

and east borders and "3" as its north and south borders. The "K3" area is divided Into four parts 

by using "a" to represent the northwest quarter, "b" the northeast, "c" the southwest, aid "d" 

the southeast. Thus, "K3a" is a quadrangle 7i minutes on a side. The second half of tin location number consists of 4 figures. These figures are distances south and east of the northwest 

corner of a 7|-mlnute quadrangle, such as quadrangle "K3a." Location "K3a-7534" is between 

7. 5 and 7.6 miles south and between 3.4 and 3.5 miles east of the northwest corner of "K3a. " 

The number Ag-17a(H3b-3965) designates a well in Allegheny County within a tenth of a nile 

south and east of a point 3.9 miles south and 6.5 miles east of the northwest corner of quadrangle 

H3b.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All water-level measurements are below land-surface datum. The land-surface dr+um for 

some wells has been changed in this report, and has been indicated by an appropriate statement 

in the well description.

RHODE ISLAND

By W. B. Alien and W. H. Bierscnenk

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Rhode Island, begun in 1944, was continued in 1952 in 

cooperation with the Rhode Island Development Council. One phase of the program includes the 

maintenance of a network of observation wells to determine the magnitude and character of waterlevel fluctuations, and the rate at which the underground reservoirs are being replenished by 

rainfall or depleted by seepage, evapotranspiration, or pumpage. At the end of 1951, the 

observation-well program in Rhode Island included 51 wells. At the end of 1952, the program 

included 48 wells. Of these wells, 3 were measured daily, 21 weekly, 19 monthly, and 5 were 

equipped with recording gages. About one-half of the water-level measurements show fluctuations caused by pumping and the rest show natural recharge or discharge. The location of the 

observation wells in Rhode Island is shown in figures 42 and 43.

A reconnaissance report ^ of ground-water conditions for Rhode Island was reviewed and 

approved in Washington. In April, a report on ground-water studies in Rlnde Island was presented at the quarterly meeting of the New England Water Works Association at Kingston. This 

paper gives briefly a general overall view of the ground-water resources in Rhode Island and 

discusses geologic and hydrologic problems that affect the yield of ground-water reservoirs. 

During September, the Rhode Island Development Council released a memorandum explaining the 

cooperative ground-water program.2 Field work has been completed for the more detailed investigations of ground-water resources in northeast Rhode Island covering the Bristol, East 

Greenwich, East Providence, Fall River, and Providence quadrangles. F'^ld work has been 

conducted in the Pawcatuck River and Rhode Island Coastal drainage basin area at the request of 

the'Federal Security Agency, Public Health Service. The purpose of the latter work is to provide ground-water data for the water-supply studies of the New England-New York Interagency 

Committee. The monthly sampling of chloride content from two industrial plants in the 

Woonasquatucket River Valley in Providence is being continued to determire the effects of 

pumpage on salt-water encroachment.

P r ecipitation

Average statewide precipitation in 1952 was 41. 71 inches (U. S. Wea*.her Bureau, Climatological Data for New England), or about 3. 4 inches less than in 1951 and about 0. 9 inch less 

than normal. The precipitation at Providence (Post Office Annex Bldg.) drring the year was 

41. 83 inches (U. S. Weather Bureau, Local Climatological Data), or about 7. 2 inches less than 

in 1951 and 2. 2 inches more than the normal for the preceding 48 years. It general, the temperatures for the State were slightly more than 2° above normal, resulting in slightly aboveaverage losses by evaporation and transpiration. In 1952, with less precipitation than in the 

preceding year, the possibilities for recharge of ground-water reservoirs were less favorable 

and water levels were generally lower than in 1951.

Pumpage

It is estimated on the basis of a partial inventory that the average daily consumption of 

ground water in Rhode Island is about 33,000,000 gallons. Average daily consumption of ground 

water by municipalities is not accurately known because the water companies using both ground 

and surface water do not differentiate their pumpage as to source. The total capacity of wells 

owned by water companies is 20,300,000 gallons per day, and it is estimated that municipalities 

were pumping an average of 20,300,000 gallons per day during summer months. In collecting 

well data, estimates are made of ground-water use by industrial firms but in many cases water 

is not metered and accurate values of pumpage are not available. It is estimated that industries 

pump about 10, 400, 000 gallons per day. Water used for rural supply that is included in the

statewide consumption figure is estimated on the basis of farm and home requirements and population figures and is about 2,300,000 gallons per day.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In Rhode Island, the natural fluctuations of ground-water levels are chiefly the result of 

differences in the amount and distribution of precipitation. The usual yearly trend of water 

levels consists of a rise during the early months of the year with the peak being reached in 

March or April. Thereafter, the levels decline and do not commence to recover until November. 

During 1952, water levels followed this general pattern except that recovery began lat°r in the 

year, or in late December.

At the beginning of 1952, ground-water levels were normal or above normal because of 

above-normal precipitation from November 1951 through March 1952. In January, 4 w^lls 

reached their highest stages in 6 to 7 years of record. In March and April, water levels reached 

their peaks for the year in most wells, and the highest in 5 to 9 years of record in 7 w^lls. 

Water levels began to decline steadily from May through July.

Above-normal precipitation in August slowed the seasonal decline in water levels and resulted in substantial recoveries in numerous wells. A deficiency of precipitation froir September 

through December resumed the decline in water levels and resulted in levels that were somewhat 

below normal for that period. The year's lowest readings occurred during November and early 

December, six wells reaching their lowest stages in 6 to 9 years of record. About hrlf the wells 

showed a slight recovery in water levels in the last weeks of the year. Thus the year closed with 

a net loss in ground-water storage.

Acknowledgments

The authors gratefully acknowledge the voluntary measurements made by many individuals 

on the following wells: Barrington 7; Coventry 32; Cranston 3, 4, 38-41; Exeter 16; 

Lincoln 181, 337; North Kingstown 26-29; Providence 81, 82, 1111; South Kingstown 83; 

Tiverton 31, 47, 194; and Warwick 39, 40.

Well-Numbering System

The identifying symbols for wells in Rhode Island consist of the name of the town or city 

followed by a number, wells in each town or city being numbered independently.

VERMONT

By Walter MacDonald, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

Periodic measurements of water levels in Vermont, begun in October 1942, were coitinued 

in 1952. Measurements were made weekly in three wells, Middlesex 1 in Washington Courty, 

Newfane 1 in Windham County, and Bethel 1 in Windsor County, for a total of 156 readings Se'e 

figure 39 for locations.

Precipitation

Precipitation during 1952 for the State as a whole was 39/01 inches, which was 0. 59 inch 

above normal and 4. 89 inches less than in 1951, with less than normal occurring in March and 

the period from July through November. June was the wettest month and November the dr'^st.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The typical seasonal pattern in Vermont water levels shows a general decline during the 

winter months when the ground is frozen followed by a sharp increase in late March and early 

April as the snow cover melts. With the advent of the growing season, the water table trends 

downward until October, owing to loss of water through evapotranspirative processes. Th? 

autumnal frosts halt these processes and water levels generally rise until the ground becomes 

frozen, when a gentle decline occurs. Abnormal rainfalls or unseasonal temperatures are often 

represented by sharp gains which deviate from the seasonal normals.

The water levels in 1952 were abnormally high in January and February, reflecting .the 

large amount of precipitation in 1951. They remained slightly above the seasonal average through 

May, rising in March and April and declining in May. June found levels continuing to droF but 

much less than usual, being abnormally high for the month due to excessive precipitation. Levels 

continued to drop until the end of August with below-average readings in July and August. During 

September, October, and November water levels rose seasonally although they were still below 

monthly averages. A continued rise to somewhat higher than seasonal averages took place in 

December as a higher percentage than usual of the precipitation fell as rain.

There was generally a slight loss in ground-water storage during the year from the high 

levels prevailing at the end of 1951.

Well - Numbering System

Wells in Vermont are numbered on a town basin numerically in the order that they are inventoried.
