WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1953

Part 4. SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

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

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

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

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

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

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

Papers from 1940 through 1953.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-surf ace 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 qn which the national network of precise 

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

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

by the United States Weather Bureau.

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

ARKANSAS

By R. C. Baker

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Agricultural Experiment Station, the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, and the Division of 

Geology of the Arkansas Resources and Development Commission. Monthly measurements for 

21 wells and the daily record of 3 recording gages are included in this report. Annual measurements for 2 wells tapping sand of Claiborne age are given. Also included is information about the 

yearly change in water levels in about 325 seasonally used rice irrigation wells tapping deposits 

of Quaternary age. Investigation of ground-water conditions was started in Chicot, Desha, Drew, 

and Lincoln Counties in southeastern Arkansas in the spring of 1952. In this area there is a 

general change from cotton to rice as a major crop. (Bee figs. 2-4.)

Precipitation

The total average precipitation for Arkansas for 1953 was 43. 45 inches. The average precipitation for Arkansas for 64 years is 48. 73 inches. May was the wettest month with 7.59 inches 

and June Was the driest month with 0.63 inch precipitation. The year 1953 brought drought conditions to Arkansas that persisted from the closing days of May until early December. A severe 

shortage of water wa§ felt in all sections during the late summer and fall months.

Pumpage

No estimate of pumpage in Arkansas has been made for 1953. In 1952 ground water was used 

at an estimated yearly rate of about 865 million gallons per day; Of this about 720 million gallons 

daily was for irrigation, of which rice is the principal irrigated crbp; 145 million gallons per day 

was for public supply, domestic, and industrial use. Most of the ground water was used in the 

Gulf Coastal Plain area Which is the southeastern half of the State. Rice is grown in the eastern 

part of the State from the Missouri boundary to the Louisiana boundary. The rate of use of ground 

water for irrigation is increasing tremendously, particularly in the northeastern and southeastern 

parts of the State. There has been an increase in the industrial use of ground water in the State, 

particularly in the central and southern parts.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations in wells are caused by natural recharge and discharge, atmospheric 

pressure changes, and pumping. Natural recharge and discharge depend largely on the size and 

location of the recharge and discharge areas, the composition of the material the water moves 

through, and the availability of water. The extent of fluctuation due to natural recharge and discharge usually is difficult to determine. Water levels in many wells fluctuate as a result of 

changes in atmospheric pressure and may differ as much as one foot in a few days. Changes in 

water levels in most of the wells are caused by pumping. When pumping begins the water level in 

and near the well declines rapidly at first and then at a decreasing rate as pumping continues. 

When pumping stops the Water level rises rapidly at first and then at a decreasing rate, finally 

approaching the level at which it would have stood had there been no pumping. Most of the ground 

water used for irrigation in Arkansas is taken from wells tapping deposits of Quaternary age. 

These wells are generally less than 200 feet in depth and are known locally as "shallow" or 

"Quaternary" wells. A relatively minor amount of water for irrigation is taken from deposits of 

Claiborne age and Wells tapping these deposits are known locally as "deep" wells. Pumping from 

irrigation wells is seasonal in nature. The water levels stand highest in the spring before pumping begins,then decline during the summe'r as a result of pumping. After pumping stops in the fall, 

the water levels rise and by spring tend to stand near the previous spring levels. The general 

trend of water levels Or artesian head in irrigated areas may be determined by annual measurements in the spring, made as late as possible before pumping begins. In some years the measurements of water levels were made in the fall, but the general trend of water levels may be marked 

by local irregularities caused by differences in pumping; Annual spring measurements are made 

in a large number of irrigation wells.

ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS COUNTY

The publication of data for the wells tapping deposits of Quaternary age, for which annual 

measurements have been published in previous annual water-level reports and for which no 

measurements appear in this report, has been discontinued in the annual water-level reports. 

Instead the yearly change in water levels is shown on maps. On figure 2, which is the Grand 

Prairie region, the change in water levels from April 1952 to April 1953, in about 275 wells 

tapping deposits of Quaternary age, is shown by patterns. Fluctuations iij water levels in this 

region are caused in part by barometric pressure so the measurements have been corrected for 

these changes. Barometric readings from a barograph are available from the Department of 

Agricultural Engineering of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Most of the changes of 

water levels shown for the Grand Prairie region are caused by pumping. Apparently the amount 

of recharge from local precipitation is very small. At several places there is evidence of recharge through abandoned wells. Some water-level fluctuations in wells near the White River are 

caused by stages of the river. Figures 3 and 4 show the number and location of observation wells 

tapping deposits of Quaternary age in northeastern and southeastern Arkansas. In these areas 

the wells are so scattered that it is not possible to show the changes in wa£er levels oy means of 

patterns.

Pumping in wells for public supply and industrial use, such as at Altheimer and Pine Bluff 

in Jefferson County, Crossett in Ashley County, El Dorado in Union County, and Magnolia in 

Columbia County, generally is continuous throughout the year and there may not be a marked 

seasonal trend of water levels. The water levels in these wells may be affected at any time 

during the year by temporary or local irregularities jn the distribution and rate of pumping. 

Single annual water-level measurements will not show the general trend of the water levels so 

well as measurements made at monthly intervals or nearly so wells as continuous records of 

water levels from recording gages.

Well-Numbe ring System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first digit of the well number indicates the township, the second the range, and 

the third the section in which the well is situated. The lowercase letters a, b, c, and d 

indicate the well location within the section; the first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second 

the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise 

direction, starting in the northeast quarter.

LOUISIANA

By George R. Tarver

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

the Louisiana Department of Public Works and the Louisiana Geological Survey, Department of 

Conservation. Water-level measurements were made in 249 wells in 33 parishes and recording 

gages were maintained on 43 of these wells at least part of the year. Investigation of the proposed 

surface-water reservoirs in central Louisiana was continued to determine if additional recharge 

would occur, thus providing more ground water for industrial, irrigation, rural, and publicsupply purposes in southwestern Louisiana. About 20 test holes ranging in depths from 100 to 

250 feet were drilled. Elevations were determined on approximately 300 additional water wells 

for use in the preparation of a detailed piezometric map of the principal sand in southwestern 

Louisiana. A number of pumping tests were made to determine the hydraulic characteristics of 

the aquifers throughout the State. Two reports were approved and released for open-file review: 

one report discusses the geology, physiography, and ground-water resources of southwestern 

Louisiana; and the other summarizes the geology and ground-water resources of the Baton Rouge 

area.

Precipitation

The total rainfall for the State was 65.62 inches, which is 10.51 inches above normal. The 

rainfall was above normal in the spring and below normal in the fall. The fall drought was detrimental to cattle and to many crops and held up the planting of many winter and cover crops.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

There was no serious decline in the water levels anywhere in the State, although in many 

wells throughout the State water levels reached new record lows. In northern Louisiana the 

principal aquifer is the Sparta sand of Eocene age. The graph of well Ja-13 (fig. 5 ) at Hodge in 

Jackson Parish is typical of the water-level trend in the area. The water level in this formation

Figure 5. Water level in well J* -13 at Hodge in Jackson Parish. La., 1945-53.

showed no great decline except at Monroe in central Ouachita Parish where a net decline of about 

5 feet was recorded. The Catahoula formation of Miocene age is the chief water-bearing formation in central Louisiana and records showed no significant decline in water levels. In the southwestern Louisiana rice-farming area there was a general decline of about 2 feet in the piezometric 

surface in wells screened in the principal sand of Pleistocene age. The flowing artesian wells in 

the sands of Pleistocene age in southwestern Louisiana continued to maintain approximately the 

same hydrostatic pressures of previous years.

16 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

Water levels continued to decline in the State's two principal industrial districts, Baton 

Rouge and Lake Charles. In the Baton Rouge industrial district water levels in wells screened 

in the "400-foot" and "600-foot" sands remained at approximately 200 feet below the surface in 

1953. As shown by figure 6 the average daily pumpage, about 30 million gallons, was approximately the same as in 1952. As pumpage from wells screened in the "1200-foot" and "2000-foot" 

sands increased there was a corresponding rapid decline of water levels in these sands during 

1953. Well WBR-5, public-supply well at Port Alien, opposite the industrial district, is screened 

in the "1200-foot" sand and had a hydrostatic head of 18 feet above land surface in 1950. Whereas 

it has now ceased to flow and the water level is 14 feet below the land surface indicating a decline 

of 32 feet in 4 years. In the Lake Charles area the water levels in the "500-foot" and "700-foot" 

sands continued to decline steadily as pumpage increased as shown by figures 7 and 8 .

Acknowledgments

All measurements for wells Cu-445 and Cu-446 at Lake Charles, Sc-6 and Sc-9 at Norco, 

and Ve-514 at Erath were obtained through the cooperation of Cities Service Refining Corporation, 

Shell Oil Company, and the Texas Company, respectively.

Well-Numbering System

The wells are listed alphabetically by parishes and numerically within each parish. The 

parishes are abbreviated with one to three letters in the parish name.

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.

OKLAHOMA

By Lee C. Burton

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Oklahoma, begun in 1934, was continued through 1953 with 

the cooperation of State agencies. Most of the work was done in cooperation with the Oklahoma 

Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board. The Department of Agronony 

of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College made measurements in observation wells in 

Stillwater Creek basin, Payne County. Water-level measurements in an irrigation well at the 

Southwestern Cotton Substation, near Tipton, Tillman County, were made with the cooperation of 

the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1953 measurements were made in 301 observation wells in Oklahoma. Recording gages 

were operated throughout the year in 6 wells and for shorter periods of time in 2 wells. Figures 

9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 show the location of observation wells in Oklahoma.

A report on ground-water resources of the terrace deposits along the northeast side of the 

Cimarron River in Alfalfa, Garfield, Kingfisher, and Major Counties, by Edwin W. Reed, Joe L. 

Mogg, Joseph E. Barclay, and George H. Peden,was published in mimeographed form by the 

Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board. Reports on ground-water resources in terrace deposits 

of central Beckham County, by Lee C. Burton, and on ground-water resources of Ottawa County, 

by Edwin W. Reed and Stuart L. Schoff, were released in typewritten form.

Precipitation

The annual precipitation for 1953 in counties where observation wells are situated ranged 

from 12.19 to 46. 03 inches. Goodwell, in Texas County, recorded the lowest annual precipitation, 

12.19 inches. Along the North Canadian River valley from Oklahoma City upstream to Beaver, 

the precipitation at five stations in 1953 ranged from 17. 64 inches at Beaver to 32. 27 inches at 

El Reno and averaged 23. 59 inches; and departures from normal ranged from -9.34 inches at 

Watonga to +3. 58 inches at El Reno. Oklahoma City reported a total annual precipitation of 31. 41 

inches, and a departure from normal of -1.18 inches. Norman reported a total of 35. 26 inches 

and a departure from normal of +2. 04 inches. Western and southwestern Oklahoma received precipitation ranging from 17.19 inches at Hollis to 40.25 inches at Lawton, with departures ranging 

from -11. 69 inches at Clinton to +9. 31 inches at Lawton. In southeastern Oklahoma, annual precipitation was reported as 46. 03 inches at Hugo and 43. 39 inches at Idabel, with departures from 

normal of +1. 53 inches and -0. 85 inch, respectively.

Pumpage

Records furnished by the Southwestern Public Service Company show that 0.29 percent less 

ground water was pumped in 1953 than in 1952 to meet the water needs of 7 towns in the Panhandle. The greatest decrease was 18 percent at Felt. Other decreases, expressed in percentage, were Guymon 4 and Forgan 0. 6. These decreases were very nearly offset by increases at 

the other towns, which in percentage were: Keyes, 41. 5; Boise City, 4. 8; Texhoma, 2. 5; and 

Beaver, 0.25. Hooker, Goodwell, and Tyrone have municipally owned water systems for which 

detailed records of pumpage are not available. The quantity of ground water pumped for irrigation and other uses by the Panhandle Agricultural and Mechanical College, Goodwell, was about 

10 percent greater than in 1952. Under the impetus of hot dry weather, irrigation pumpage increased substantially not only in the Panhandle, but also in other irrigated areas, notably Tillman, 

Harmon, Jackson, and Greer Counties.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Vamoosa formation. --The Skelly Gas Corporation well in Seminole County taps water in 

sandstones of the Vamoosa formation. The water level in this well has been rising since the 

beginning of record in 1948 (fig. 14), and by the end of 1953 the net rise was 18. 52 feet. The 

highest water level for 1953 and for the entire period of record was reached on December 2. The 

lowest water level for the year was recorded on July 10. The net annual change from December 

1952 to December 1953 was a rise of 4.18 feet.

Stillwater Creek basin. Water-level measurements were made in 8 observation wells in 

the Stillwater Creek basin, Payne County, near the end of each month. The average range of 

water-level fluctuations in 1953 was 1. 30 feet, and the average net change in water level from 

December 1952 to December 1953 was a decline of 0. 03 foot.

Garber sandstone and Wellington formation. --Water-level measurements were made in 

10 wells in the Garber sandstone and Wellington formation of Oklahoma and Cleveland Counties. 

These measurements showed a net decline in 6 wells and a net rise in 4 wells between December 

1952 and December 1953. The range in fluctuation was so much greater in some wells than in 

others that averages are misleading. Oklahoma County wells 3 and 4 and Cleveland County wells 

5 and 10 showed rises ranging from 0.61 foot to 14.08 feet; and Oklahoma County wells 1 and 2 

and Cleveland County wells 4, 8, 11, and 12 showed declines ranging from 1. 23 to 17. 00 feet.

Southwestern irrigation area. --In the irrigation area of southwestern Oklahoma the general 

trend of ground-water levels was downward in 1953. Precipitation was low, recharge to the 

aquifer was correspondingly low, and the withdrawal of ground water for irrigation was increased. 

Of the wells measured in March 1952 and again in March 1953, 16 showed declines ranging from 

0. 86 foot to 9.19 feet, and 2 showed rises of 2.29 feet and 4.16 feet. Two wells measured in 

February 1952 and again in March 1953 showed declines of 1. 61 and 15. 48 feet. Of 4 wells 

measured in February 1952 and again in November 1953, 3 showed declines ranging from 0. 20 foot 

to 11.74 feet, and 1 showed a rise of 1,10 feet.

Rush Springs sandstone. --Water-level measurements were made weekly or monthly in 33 

wells tapping the Rush Springs sandstone of Grady, Caddo, and Washita Counties, and recording 

gages were operated in 2 wells (Caddo 14 and Grady 66). Between January and December 1953, 

14 wells showed net declines ranging from 0. 02 foot to 4.64 feet, and 9 wells showed net rises 

ranging from 0. 02 foot to 1.05 feet. Measurements in the remaining 10 wells, 8 in Caddo County 

and 2 in Washita County, were discontinued after July. During the first 7 months of the year the 

water levels rose in 4 of these wells by amounts ranging from 0. 33 foot to 4. 87 feet, and in 6 they 

declined by amounts ranging from 0. 07 to 0.88 foot. The recording gage on Grady County well 66 

showed a net decline of 1.03 feet for the year, and the gage on Caddo County well 14 showed a 

decline of 0. 51 foot from January until August, when it was removed. Tape measurements thereafter showed a further decline of 0. 29 foot.

Cretaceous. Water-level fluctuations were observed in 15 wells tapping water-bearing beds 

of Cretaceous age in southern McCurtain County. These measurements showed declines in water 

level between January and December 1953 ranging from 0. 02 foot to 11.72 feet. These declines 

were different in different aquifers: 4 wells in the Trinity group had net declines ranging from 

0. 02 to 0.96 foot, and 3 wells went dry after declines of 2. 85, 3. 50, and 8. 97 feet; 7 wells in the 

Woodbine and Tokio formations had net declines in water level ranging from 4.19 to 11.72 feet, 

and 1 well went dry after a decline of 7. 82 feet.

Oklahoma Panhandle. --Annual measurements of the water levels were taken in May 1953 in 

the Oklahoma Panhandle ^Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas Counties) and they showed an average 

rise of 0.70 foot over the record high level of May 1952 and a rise of 6.90 feet above the lowest 

average level, recorded in November 1938. For the year May 1952 to May 1953, the average 

change in water level for Beaver County was a drop of 0.19 foot, for Cimarron County a rise of 

1.26 feet, and for Texas County a rise of 0. 04 foot. In the following tables the wells are grouped 

according to counties and aquifers, and comparisons are made between water levels in 1951 and 

1952.

Terrace deposits. --Oklahoma County wells 10, 11, and 12 tap water in terrace deposits 

from which water is pumped for industrial and domestic purposes. During 1953 Oklahoma County 

well 10 showed a rise in water level of 0. 29 foot between January and December. The rise was 

a continuation of an upward trend begun in early 1951. Well 12, about 1 mile west of Oklahoma 

well 10, showed a net decline in water level of 0. 74 foot. Well 11, about halfway between wells 

10 and 12, was destroyed in August, at which time the water level had declined 0. 21 foot since 

the beginning of the year. From 1945, the beginning of the record for this well, to the end of 

August 1953, there was a net decline of 4. 31 feet in the water level. Cleveland County well 1, a 

shallow dug well on a high terrace of the Canadian River, reflects the natural change of the water 

table due to precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration. The terrace deposit is thin and of 

small extent, and pumping of ground water from it is negligible. Measurements showed a net 

rise of 1. 73 feet between December 1952 and December 1953. The water level reached its highest 

stage for the year on July 23, and its lowest on February 26. Water-level measurements in the 

irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton Substation, Tillman County, showed a decline of 1. 04 

feet in water level between January and December 1953. The highest level for the year was 

recorded on April 6, and the lowest on August 17. Monthly measurements begun in June 1953 in 

16 other wells in the western third of Tillman County showed a net average rise of 0.12 foot by 

the end of the year. This was only about one-sixth as much as the rise that occurred at the Substation in the same half year. Monthly water-level measurements made in 9 observation wells in 

the terrace deposits along the North Fork of the Red River in central Beckham County showed 

declines in water level from January to December 1953 ranging from 0. 50 foot to 2. 86 feet. Records of daily low levels from an automatic recording gage on Beckham County well 52 showed a 

net decline of 0.95 foot between April 1 and December 31, 1953. Water-level measurements 

were made monthly in 33 observation wells tapping the terrace deposits of Major, Garfield, and 

Kingfisher Counties. Taken near the end of each month, these showed a decline in 19 wells 

ranging from 0. 01 foot to 1. 53 feet; and a rise in 14 wells ranging from 0. 02 foot to 1. 97 feet. 

This was an average net decline of 0.15 foot for 1953. Daily records from a recording gage on 

Major County well 4 showed a net decline of 0. 91 foot in water level between January 1 and 

December 31, 1953.

Alluvium. Water-level fluctuations in the alluvium of the Red River were observed in 

Me Curtain County wells 15, 26, 27, 28, and 29. They showed an average net decline in water 

level from January to December 1953 of 1. 90 feet. The highest average water level occurred in
OKLAHOMA, BEAVER COUNTY 71

June and the lowest in November, with an average range in fluctuation of 5. 07 feet. Measurements of water level were made in 3 observation wells in the alluvium of the North Fork of the 

Red River: Jackson County well 1, and Beckham County wells 2 and 53. The water level in 

Jackson County 1 dropped 0. 37 foot between March 1952 and March 1953 and 0.12 foot between 

March and October 1953. The records for Beckham County well 2 showed a decline of 0. 07 foot 

in water level between the first part of January and the first part of March 1953, and a rise of 

0.07 foot between the first part of March and the first part of April. Thus the net change for the 

first 3 months was zero. In Beckham County 53 the water level declined 1.23 feet between June 

1953, when the record began, and the end of the year. Fluctuations of water level in the alluvium 

of the Washita River were observed in Caddo County wells 2 and 3, Grady County well 76, and 

Roger Mills County well 1. The water level in Roger Mills County well 1 showed a net rise of 

0.34 foot from October 1952 to October 1953, and the water level in Grady County well 76 in the 

same period rose 0.92 foot. The 2 wells in Caddo County were not measured in October in both 

1952 and 1953, and water levels in other months must therefore be used for comparison. Caddo 

County well 2 showed a net rise in water level of 1.92 feet from August 1952 to October 1953, 

while Caddo County well 3 showed a net decline of 0. 85 foot from October 1952 to August 1953.

Measurements made weekly in Kay County well 1, which taps water in the alluvium of the 

Arkansas River, showed a net decline of 6. 08 feet in water level from January to December 1953. 

The highest water level occurred on January 1 and the lowest on December 30. The level on 

December 30 was the lowest recorded for the 6-year period of observation (fig. 15). Water-level 

fluctuations in the alluvium of the Canadian River were observed in Canadian County well G-53, 

and Cleveland County wells 14 and 15. In these wells the net change in water level from January 

to December 1953 was an average rise of 1. 32 feet. All-time low water levels were recorded in 

Cleveland County wells 14 and 15 on June 30 and September 28, respectively, and in Canadian 

County well G-53 on September 24. Measurements made in 37 wells in the alluvium of the North 

Canadian River showed an average net decline in water level of 0. 67 foot from October 1952 to 

October 1953. The wells are unevenly distributed from Oklahoma City to Beaver, and in averaging the water levels, the measurements were weighted according to the length of the valley segment represented by each well, or group of wells. In Canadian County, which represents about 

65 percent of the wells but only about 20 percent of the area, an average net decline of 4. 46 feet 

was recorded; and in Oklahoma County 3 wells showed an average net decline of 4. 84 feet. Blaine 

County well 1 showed a rise of 1.48 feet. Wells in Woodward and Beaver Counties showed average 

rises of 1.76 feet and 0. 07 foot, respectively. Wells at intermediate locations, in Blaine, Major, 

and Harper Counties, showed declines ranging from 0. 01 to 1. 00 foot. Thus it appears that local 

conditions, rather than regional conditions, governed the water-level fluctuations.

TEXAS

By B. W. Swartz and C. R. Follett

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Texas, which began in 1929, was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the Texas State Board of Water Engineers. Measurements were made in 2,613 

wells, 26 of which are equipped with recording gages. The area covered includes 66 counties and 

extends from the northernmost part of the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico and from £1 Paso to 

the Trinity River. Measurements made in 971 wells in 49 counties and data from 14 recording 

gages are published in this report. The location of these wells is shown in figures 16 to 31.

Precipitation

The precipitation is greatest in the eastern part of the State and decreases westward. The 

humid to semihumid area extends westward from the east boundary of the State to the 97th meridian; the semihumid to semiarid from the 97th meridian to the 101st meridian; and the semiarid to 

arid westward from the 101st meridian to the west boundary of the State. The average precipitation in 1953 for the entire State was 23.72 inches or 3.98 inches below normal. Precipitation 

averaged below normal in all the major divisions of the State, except in the northeast and upper 

coastal divisions. The greatest precipitation during the year occurred at Bon Wier in southeast 

Texas where 72.99 inches was recorded, 16. 86 inches above normal. In £1 Paso the precipitation 

was 4.42 inches, 3.41 inches below normal. The greatest deficiency of precipitation for 1953 

was at Brownsville which was 17.96 inches below normal. In the annual summary by the U. S. 

Weather Bureau, the accumulated effect of the drought is shown in the percent of normal precipitation for some representative cities over the State for the 3-year period 1951-53: 80 percent 

at Amarillo; 61 percent at Big Spring; 52 percent at Brownsville; 52 percent at Del Rio; and 

80 percent at El Paso.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Southern High Plains. --Irrigation from wells in the Southern High Plains of Texas began in 

1911. Development of ground water for irrigation progressed slowly until 1937 when only about 

500 wells were in use. During 1937 the number of wells doubled and during succeeding years the 

number increased rapidly and by the end of 1953 there were approximately 24,000 wells in use. 

In 1953, alone, 4,500 wells were constructed. The total number in use represent about 85 percent 

of all the wells used for irrigation in the entire State. This area includes all or parts of 20 counties extending eastward from the New Mexico boundary to the prominent High Plains escarpment, 

and southward from the Canadian River to a line formed by the northern boundaries of Andrews, 

Martin, Howard, and Mitchell Counties. The area consists of about 6,800,000 acres, of which 

about 35 percent or 2,400,000 acres were under irrigation in 1953. From March 1938 through 

1953 approximately 15,500,000 acre-feet of ground water was pumped, of which 4,500,000 acrefeet or about 29 percent of the total was pumped during 1953. Water-level measurements are 

made annually in about 500 wells during January, February, or March, when water levels have 

made the maximum recovery from the previous irrigation season. Theste measurements reflect 

the loss or gain in storage from year to year. Drought conditions extended the period of pumping 

in 1953, causing greater declines in the water-level. TJhe maximum decline was 9.68 feet in well 

463 in a heavily pumped area in Floyd County; the water level rose 0.79 foot in well 207 in Bailey 

County which is on the fringe of the irrigated area; the average net decline in the irrigation area 

was 4.9 feet in 1953. See figures 32 to 34.

Winter Garden District. --The irrigation of vegetables has been in progress in the Winter 

Garden District of Dimmit and Zavala Counties for about 34 years. In more recent years citrus 

fruits, grain sorghum, cotton, and oats have been irrigated. Most vegetables and oats are winter 

crops. Grain sorghum and cotton are summer crops. Citrus fruits are irrigated mostly in the 

winter and spring. Most of the irrigation wells draw water from the Carrizo sand, which crops 

out in western Dimmit County, eastern Maverick County, and western and northern Zavala County. 

In some localities the water from irrigation wells is supplemented by surface water from the 

Nueces River and impounding reservoirs on Pendencia, Turkey, and Comanche Creeks. Annual 

water-level measurements are made in most of the observation wells during late July, August, 

or September after summer irrigation has ended and before winter irrigation begins. However,

drought conditions have lengthened the periods of irrigation, so that pumping is almost continuous. 

In 18 observation wells in the district, water levels in 3 wells rose in the range of 5 feet to 33.3 

feet, whereas 15 wells had declines ranging from 0.3 foot to 33.5 feet. The average net decline 

for all wells was 8 feet. The table on page 132 shows the change of water level in 1953 from preceding years.

Houston District. --The Houston district includes Harris County west of the San Jacinto 

River and parts of Fort Bend, Waller, and Montgomery Counties. Large quantities of ground 

water are pumped for industrial and municipal purposes in the Houston-Pasadena Ship Channel 

area and for irrigation of rice in the Katy area west of Houston. All the wells draw water from 

sands that crop out 20 to 50 miles west, northwest, north, and northeast of Houston. About 320 

observation wells in the district are measured.

The following table shows the estimated average daily withdrawal of ground water for 

1930-53 in the Houston-Pasadena and the Katy areas. The table includes data from only those 

wells which are pumped an average of 5,000 gallons per day or more. No attempt has been made 

to estimate the pumpage from the numerous domestic, stock, and other small wells in the district. 

In 1953 there was a net increase of pumpage of ground water in the Houston-Pasadena area of 

about 6 million gallons per day over that of 1952. The city of Houston pumped an average of 3.4 

million gallons per day more in 1953 than in 1952, but this increase was offset by a decrease in 

pumpage of about 3 million gallons per day in 1953 by independent public supply, small industrial, 

and other miscellaneous wells. Pasadena industrial wells were pumped an average of 6 million 

gallons per day more in 1953 than in 1952. Owing to the increased use of surface water for industry, pumpage of ground water decreased slightly in the west end of the Ship Channel area, but 

pumpage north of the Ship Channel and along the east end increased to account for a net gain of 

6 million gallons per day in the Ship Channel industrial area. Water levels in the heavily pumped 

sands in the area along the west end of the Ship Channel had little or no net decline in 1953, 

whereas water levels in the same sands in the area along the east end of the Ship Channel declined 

as much as 30 feet during the same period. Declines in water levels in the heavily pumped sands 

in the vicinity of the city of Houston well fields corresponding to the increase in pumpage from 

those well fields ranged from 1 foot to 29 feet. Figure 35 shows the approximate altitude of water 

levels in wells in the Houston district in March 1953. Figure 36 shows the average daily pumpage 

in the Houston district, 1930-53. Figure 36 shows hydrographs of representative wells also during 

that period. In the spring of 1953, the depths to water in many temporarily idle wells ranged from 

180 to 270 feet below sea level (or from about 230 to 310 feet below land surface) in the areas of 

greatest withdrawals. The pumping levels ranged from about 200 to 360 feet below sea level 

(250 to 400 feet below the land surface) in some of the most heavily pumped wells along the Houston 

Ship Channel.

The rice-irrigation wells are pumped only during the season that begins about May 1 and 

lasts approximately 130 days. The pumpage in the Houston and Pasadena area, although continuous, is much heavier in the summer than it is during the remainder of the year. Therefore, for 

convenience in the compilation and in order that comparisons may be made, the withdrawals in 

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

In the Katy rice-growing area, on or near the outcrop of the sands that supply much of the 

water pumped at Houston, the amount of land irrigated with ground water totaled 58,000 acres in 

1953, compared with 55,000 acres in 1952. However, because of the increased rainfall during 

the irrigation season in 1953 the ground-water pumpage, expressed as a daily average for the 

year, declined from an estimated 128 million gallons per day in 1952 to an estimated 115 million 

gallons per day in 1953. These estimates are based on records of electric power consumption 

and records of average rainfall from 15 stations in the Katy rice area. There was 1 foot or less 

decline in water levels in 1953 in the northwest part of the Katy area. That part of the area which 

is adjacent to Houston continued to decline partly because of the increased pumpage in the Houston 

area.

TEXAS 133

The ground-water reservoirs are recharged by precipitation that falls on the outcrop of the 

water-bearing sands northwest, north, and northeast of Houston. Periodic measurements of 

shallow wells in portions of the outcrop areas that are more or less remote from areas of large 

ground-water withdrawals appear to correlate with rainfall rather than declines resulting from 

pumping. Water levels in these wells continued their downward trend during 1953 responding to 

the continuing period of below-normal precipitation which began in the summer of 1950.

Galveston County. --For a few years prior to 1944 there was a rapid continuous decline in 

water levels in Gal vest on County as a result of heavy pumping in the Texas City industrial area, 

and in the Alta Loma well field of the city of Galveston. The rate of decline decreased from 1944 

to 1947, and at Texas City the artesian pressure was nearly stabilized as the cone of depression 

caused by the pumping became flatter and larger each year. Pumpage in 1948 was curtailed 

appreciably as a result of a surface-water supply being made available for industrial use at Texas 

City, and water levels in the deeper "Alta Loma" sands, at and near industrial wells, recovered 

from 25 to 33 feet from 1948 to 1953. The water levels in the shallower sands of the Beaumont 

clay in the Texas City area recovered from 10 to 25 feet from 1948 to 1951 and remained about 

the same in most wells in 1952 and 1953. There was a small decline in 1953 in the shallow sands 

in the Texas City area. The following table shows the average daily pumpage from the two principal aquifers in Galveston County.

* Salty ground water used for cooling. 

** Subject to revision.

The water levels in the Galveston city well field at Alta Loma rose slightly during the latter 

part of 1948 and during 1949, but they have been fairly constant from 1951 to 1953 except for small 

seasonal variations. Water levels in the northern and northeastern parts of Galveston County 

continue to decline at a rate of 2 to 4 feet per year, largely because of the influence of pumping in 

the Houston district.

Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties. --The Carrizo sands in Angelina and Nacogdoches 

Counties supply most of the water used by the cities of Lufkin and Nacogdoches and the Southern 

Paper Mills, Inc. at Lufkin. Figure 37 shows graphically the average pumpage of water from the 

Carrizo sand and the resulting fluctuation of artesian pressure changes caused by pumping.

El Paso County. --In 1953 water levels in the El Paso district seemed to follow the usual 

cycle. Declines begin in January and gradually increase until late summer when recovery begins 

and continues until January. In well 76 the water level declined 6.60 feet from January to a new 

all-time low of 261.51 feet in September; then gradually recovered 7.40 feet or to a depth of 

254.10 feet by the end of December.

South Texas, Duval County. Most of the observation wells in Duval County are east of the 

Bordas escarpment in the outcrop of the sand from which the wells in Brooks, Jim Wells, and 

Kleberg Counties receive most of their water. From 32 observation wells, whose water levels 

are measured annually, 6 had rises ranging from 0.35 foot to 5.87 feet with an average rise of 

2.37 feet. In 26 wells, water levels declined from 0.75 foot to 6.62 feet or an average of 2.82 

feet. The decline in water levels was about the same in wells less than 100 feet deep, as it was 

in welle as deep as 1, QOO feet.

Jim WgUs County. --Observation wells in Jim Wells County, most of which are in the southwestern part~known~as the Premont-Falfurrias irrigation area, draw from several sands and are 

from 25 feet tq 1,000 feet deep. In 18 observation wells measured annually, water levels in 

Z wells rose 0,68 foot and 3.00 feet in 1953. In the heavily pumped area, declines were recorded 

for 16 wells ranging from 0.68 foot to 19.25 feet. The average decline was 6.51 feet.

Brooks County. --Brooks County observation wells are in the eastern half of the county on 

the coastal plain, most of them in the Falfurrias area. Well depths range from shallow to deep 

and the wells draw water from several sands. Of 18 observation wells measured annually, 

8 wells had a rise in water levels ranging from 0. 67 foot to 6. 04 feet, and in 10 wells water 

levels declined from 0.25 foot to 20.27 feet with an average decline of 6. 09 feet in 1953.

Bale ones Fault Zone. --Observation wells in Val Verde, Kinney, Uvalde, Medina, Bexar, 

Comal, Hays, Travis, and Williamson Counties are in the Balcones Fault zone. Most of them 

draw water from the Edwards limestone reservoir, but a few draw from reservoirs in the Glen 

Rose, Austin chalk, and shallow sands of Quaternary age. The Edwards limestone supplies 

water for irrigation in Uvalde, Medina, and Bexar Counties, for municipalities and industries 

in the San Antonio area, and for farms and ranches along the entire Balcones Fault zone. Uvalde 

County pumped approximately 8. 3 billion gallons of water in 1953, mostly from the Edwards 

limestone; 7 billion for irrigation, 1 billion for the city of Uvalde, and about 270 million for the 

U. S. Fish Hatchery. Well H-5-1 in Uvalde, which is equipped with a recording gage, showed a 

decline of 7. 38 feet from January 1, 1953. to August 19, 1953. After heavy precipitation in late 

August, the water level rose gradually until at the end of the year it had recovered 5. 41 feet, 

leaving a net decline of 1. 97 feet for the year. Bexar County and the city of San Antonio used 

about 68 billion gallons of water from the Edwards limestone during 1953, of which 47 billion was 

pumped in San Antonio for public supply and industrial use and 21 billion for irrigation. The 

heavy withdrawals caused water levels in the county to decline an average of 5.37 feet during the 

year. Observation well 436 declined from 71. 54 feet on January 1, 1953, to 76.45 feet on 

December 23, 1953, a net decline of 4. 91 feet. Observation well 224 declined from 70. 82 feet on 

January 1, 1953, to 76.10 feet on December 31, 1953, a decline of 5. 28 feet. These wells are 

equipped with recording gages. See figure 38 for fluctuations of water level in well 436, accumulated deviation from normal precipitation, and the precipitation at Boerne, Kendall County, 

1933-53. Some of the largest springs in the Southwest are along the Balcones Fault zone. Three 

of these, Comal at New Braunfels, Goodenough at Comstock, and San Marcos at San Marcos, are 

among the 65 largest in the United States. Other large springs along the Balcones Fault zone are 

San Felipe at Del Rio, San Antonio at San Antonio, Las Moras at Brackettville, and Barton at 

Austin. The lowered water level in this area has reduced the average flow of all springs in 1953 

compared to the flow of 1950.

Well-Numbering System

Three well-numbering systems have been used in Texas: (1) wells numbered consecutively 

beginning with 1 in the upper left corner and progressing back and forth across the county map; 

(2) a grid system for each county using a letter and a number to identify the grid followed by 

consecutive well numbers in each grid; (3) a grid system for each county using a letter to identify 

the grid followed by consecutive well numbers in each grid. In some reports the well-numbering 

system has been changed from system 1 to system 3 when a second report was released for the 

same area.
