WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1952

Part3. NORTH-CENTRAL

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, northcentral, 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 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 from 

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

from the soil, and by 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 by 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, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

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

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

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

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

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

plus signs are above the plane of reference.

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

by the United States Weather Bureau.

Measurements of water levels and artesian pressures in wells were made under the 

direction of the district supervisors of the Ground Water Branch in the several States.

Scope of Water-Level Program

Measurements of water level were continued in 1952 in the well at Princeton, Bureau 

County. This well is equipped with a nonrecording gage, which was installed in November 1942; 

observations have been made at approximately weekly intervals since that time. A total of 46 

measurements was made in this well during 1952.

Precipitation

The precipitation at the nearest rainfall station in 1952, as obtained from records of the 

U. S. Weather Bureau, was 33.33 inches, 1.12 inches below normal. Below-normal precipitation occurred in February, May, August, September, and October; during the remaining months 

it was above-normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

During 1952, the water level in the well at Princeton followed the general pattern of 

previous years, as indicated by figure 2. High water levels occurred in the spring and low 

levels in the fall of the year. Above average water levels were observed during the first 8 

months of the year. January and February water levels were the highest of record for these 2 

months. Below average levels were observed for each month from August through December. 

The high of 3.08 feet observed on June 14 was 1.51 feet higher than the 1951 high. The low of 

20.68 feet recorded on November 22 was 3.09 feet lower than the 1951 low. The range of 

fluctuation during 1952 was 17.60 feet.

WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES
IOWA

By J. B. Cooper, C. W. Lane, and H. Garland Hershey

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Geological Survey. Measurements were made in 148 wells, 20 of which were equipped with 

recording gages. During the year, 6 wells were dropped from the program, and 7 wells were 

added, making a total of 149 wells in 38 counties in the observation-well program at the end of 

the year. Figure 3 shows location of wells. The shallow observation wells in the Tarkio Creek 

Valley area of southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri, including parts of Montgomery and 

Page Counties, Iowa, and Atchison County, Missouri, constitute a unit in the Iowa measurement 

program. There are 18 wells in Page County and 5 wells in Montgomery County. Records of 

wells in the Missouri part of the area are given in the section of this report that deals with that 

State.

Precipitation

The average total precipitation over the State in 1952, as reported by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 29.79 inches, 1.58 inches below normal. Throughout the State precipitation was 

somewhat above normal until the last of August. The month of September was unusually dry with 

average precipitation measuring 0.88 inch or 3.13 inches below normal. October precipitation 

of 0.02 inch was the least of record for any month in the 80 years for which statewide records 

were available. Rural water shortages developed in many south-central areas and in scattered 

localities elsewhere in the State, particularly the central and western portion. Several town 

water supplies became dangerously low. Heavy rains, beginning on the 16th of November, ended 

the drought of 75 days in which no useful amounts of precipitation were recorded. In December 

the precipitation was slightly above normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in shallow aquifers in Iowa fluctuate generally in response to variations in 

precipitation, pumping, and natural demands of vegetation. Ground-water levels in these 

aquifers at the beginning of 1952 stood at unusually high levels in most sections of the State as a 

result of above-normal precipitation in the previous year. Water levels began a downward trend 

at the start of the growing season in May and, accelerated by the drought of early fall, continued 

to decline until the middle of November. Recharge of these aquifers by rainfall in late November 

and December halted this downward trend, and at the end of the year water levels were generally 

higher than the low point reached in mid-November. Water-level fluctuations in well 68-38-7N1, 

shown in figure 4 , are representative of variations in depth-to-water with precipitation in the 

wells in the Tarkio Creek Valley area of southwestern Iowa. This well, an unused well 44 feet 

deep in Page County near Shenandoah, is used in this illustration because of continuity and length 

of record and its favorable location away from pumping influences. Monthly precipitation at 

Shenandoah is also shown on the graph. The fluctuation of the water level during the period of 

record in well 87-28-29N1, which is a shallow unused well in the southern part of Webster County 

near Harcourt, is shown in figure 5 . This well is 42 feet deep, taps water in the glacial drift, 

and is representative of several shallow observation wells and of many domestic farm wells 

which tap the same water-bearing bed. The monthly precipitation at Fort Dodge, shown also on 

the graph, correlates closely with the fluctuations of water level. Figure 6 shows the depth to 

the water table in well 84-6-20N1, an observation well 12 feet deep tapping water in glacial drift. 

Close correlation between precipitation, as recorded at the U. S. Weather Bureau station in 

Cedar Rapids, and the water-level fluctuations in this well is evident. Well 83-7-21K1 (fig. 7 ) 

is illustrative of artesian rock wells affected by seasonal withdrawals for industrial and airconditioning purposes. This is an unused well about half a mile from heavily pumped areas of 

Cedar Rapids and completed at a depth of 156 feet in the upper part of dolomite of Silurian age, 

which is locally about 400 feet thick. Most wells in Cedar Rapids develop water supplies for airconditioning and industrial use from these strata. In September 1951 a new well was constructed 

nearby. A pumping test made on it had a marked effect upon water levels in well 83-7-21K1. On 

December 31, 1951, the water level was 68.00 feet, which is the lowest measurement of record 

and 10.78 feet below its stage of December 31, 1943.

Well-Numbering System

The numbers assigned to observation wells in Iowa show the location of the wells according 

to the rectangular system for subdivision of public land. Each well number is made up of three 

segments, separated by hyphens. The first and second segments indicate the township and range. 

The third segment includes the section, followed by a letter representing the 40-acre subdivision 

of the section, as shown by the diagram, and the serial number of the particular well.

The letter E is added to the second segment representing the range when a well is east of the 

fifth principal meridian. In the numbers of the other wells, it is understood that the range indicated is west of the meridian. For example, the number 76-31-25P1 indicates a well in 

T. 76 N., R. 31 W., in the SEiSWi sec. 25, serial number 1.

KANSAS

By Betty J. Mason and W. W. Wilson

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Geological Survey, the Division of Water Resources of the State Board of Agriculture, and the 

Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health. The city of Wichita cooperated in Harvey, 

McPherson, and Sedgwick Counties. Also, an observation-well program was continued in the 

Missouri Basin in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. A total of 350 wells was 

measured in 1952 as a part of the Missouri Basin program, 96 of which are included in this 

report. Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11 show the location of observation wells in Kansas.

Five reports in regard to ground-water investigations were published by the State Geological 

Survey of Kansas: Bulletin 94, Ground-water resources of Pawnee Valley, by V. C. Fishel; 

Bulletin 95, Geology and ground-water resources of Lincoln County, by D. W. Berry; Bulletin 96, 

part 5, Geology and ground-water resources of the Kansas River between Lawrence and Topeka, 

by S. N. Davis and W. A. Carlson; Bulletin 98, Geology and ground-water resources of North 

Fork Solomon River in Mitchell, Osborne, Smith, and Phillips Counties, by A. R. Leonard; and 

Volume 12, part 3, Ground-water resources of Lyon County, by H. G. O'Connor.

Precipitation

Protracted drought which began in June and continued through the balance of the year made 

1952 the second driest year of record and stands in sharp contrast to 1951, the wettest of record. 

The State average precipitation exceeded that of 1936 by only 0.34 inch. Two outstanding records 

were established; June was the hottest June and October the driest month since statewide weather 

service began in 1887. The 6-month period, May through October, provided only 50 percent of 

the normal precipitation. Also, the first 10 months was the driest such period, with a statewide 

average of 16.10 inches, caused primarily by the substantial deficiencies of May through July, 

September, and October. All districts of the State recorded annual precipitation deficiencies 

greater than 5 inches.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The geologic nomenclature of this section of the report follows the usage of the State Geological Survey of Kansas and does not necessarily coincide with the official nomenclature used by 

the U. S. Geological Survey.

Because of the low precipitation in 1952, ground-water levels in Kansas generally declined 

throughout the year. One well near Valley Center in Sedgwick County in south-central Kansas has 

been measured since 1937. Measurement was begun in the well near Garden City in southwestern 

Kansas in 1936. In 1940 the water levels were at low stages because of the drought during the 

preceding decade. From 1940 to 1951 the precipitation was fairly abundant, and the water levels 

in much of Kansas had an upward trend. During the summer of 1951, the precipitation was unusually high throughout the State. As a consequence, the water levels generally reached record 

high stages. The maximum stages reached by the water levels were about 9 feet higher than their 

previous low stages. The water levels declined during about the last half of 1951 and continued to 

decline during most of 1952. The water levels in the Garden City and Valley Center wells declined 

about 3 feet during 1952, and at the end of the year the water levels had reached unusually low 

stages. The water level in the Valley Center well was only about a foot higher than its record low 

level in 1938.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are either numbered serially within counties or are given a location number in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. In the location system the 

first digit of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, and the third the section 

in which the well is situated. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre 

tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. Thus, in Cheyenne County, the number l-38-8ddb indicates 

that the well is in the NWiSEiSE? sec. 8, T. IS., R. 38 W.

MINNESOTA

By Robert Schneider

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Division of Waters of the State Department of Conservation and the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County. Measurements were made in 17 wells, 7 of which were equipped 

with recording gages. The final report on the geology and ground-water resources of the Cloquet 

area, Carlton County, was published. 1 As part of the Federal-State cooperative program, field 

work was started on an investigation of the geology and ground-water conditions in the Redwood 

Falls area, Redwood County.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for Minnesota in 1952, as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau, 

was 22.47 inches or 2.71 inches below the average, the least recorded since 1939. The maximum 

negative departure from normal (9.08 inches) occurred in the northwest. September and October 

were the driest months since records were started in 1891. The wettest month was July and the 

driest was October.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Despite the fact that 1952 was a relatively dry year, the following water-table wells attained 

new high levels largely as a result of heavy rains in June, July, and August: Carlton County, 

B49.17.18dcc2, B49.17.22cbb, B49.17.23caa, B49.17.27bab, B49.17.28adc; Clay County, 

139.45. Iccd2; and Morrison County, 130.29.8dcc. Significant amounts of recharge were observed 

in most of the water-table wells during the spring breakup as a result of downward percolation of 

meltwater from snow and thawing ground. Most of this recharge occurred during the latter part 

of March and early April. In most of the water-table wells unaffected by pumping there was a net 

decline as of the end of the year. The maximum decline was 4.68 feet in well 108.30.9add, Brown 

County.

Acknowledgments

The measurements prior to 1951 in wells 117.23. Gcabl and 117.23. llbbdl, Hennepin County, 

were made by the Hennepin County Highway Department. S. O. Hanson, Cloquet, made the 

measurements in well B49.17.23caa, Carlton County.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. The first numeral of a 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, 

following the section number locate the well within the section; the first letter denotes the quarter 

section (160-acre tract), the second the quarter-quarter section (40-acre tract), and the third 

the quarter-quarter-quarter section (10-acre tract). The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. If the location is known within a 10-acre trac^ 

three lowercase letters are shown in the well number. When more than one well is situated in the 

smallest significant tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added as suffixes. Well 

numbers preceded by the capital letter B designate wells situated in the northwest quadrant of the 

4th principal meridian and base line system. Well numbers not preceded by a capital letter 

designate wells situated in the northwest quadrant of the 5th principal meridian and base line

MISSOURI

By J. B. Cooper

Scope of Water-Level Program

Water-level measurements were made in 13 wells in Atchlson County in the northwestern 

part of the State, in 1952 as part of the Tarkio Creek Valley observation-well program. The 

Tarkio Creek Valley area also includes parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, Iowa. 

Measurements of the Atchison County wells have been made in conjunction with the Iowa 

observation-well program. Weekly measurements were continued in 1952 in the well at Trenton, 

Grundy County. The water levels in the two Phelps County wells were measured monthly by 

engineers from the Rolla office of the Surface Water Branch.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the Grundy County well, the maximum fluctuation of water level was 6.15 feet, with the 

highest reading of 2.20 feet on April 13. The water level was 3.47 feet lower at the end of 1952 

than at the end of 1951. Fluctuation of water levels in wells in Atchison County, together with 

the other wells in the Tarkio Creek area, are discussed in the section of this volume that deals 

with Iowa.

Well-Numbering System

The numbers assigned to the observation wells show the location of the well according to 

the rectangular system for subdivision of public land. The system used is explained fully in the 

Iowa section of this report.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Nebraska, begun in 1934 in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division, University of Nebraska was continued in 1952. Many of the well 

records in this report have been compiled as a part of the Missouri Basin Development program. 

As a result of this participation, the number of measurements made and the number of wells in 

which water-level measurements are obtained has been increased. Wells in which water-level 

measurements have been made and are not listed in this report, but which have been published 

in previous water-level reports, are kept in open file pending publication in other forms. 

Measurements of water levels made in 411 wells are included in this report. A map showing the 

location of the observation wells is shown in figure 12. The following organizations cooperated 

informally: Fish and Wildlife Service in Garden County; Central Nebraska Public Power and 

Irrigation District in Lincoln County; Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District in Keith 

County, and State Department of Roads and Irrigation in Morrill County.

Precipitation

The average annual precipitation in Nebraska in 1952 was 20.34 inches, 1.92 inches below 

normal and 10.06 inches below that of 1951.

Pumpage

The following tables give the total pumpage for the part of the Lincoln public supply pumped 

from the well field at Ashland and for the Grand Island supply. About 85 percent of the Lincoln 

public supply is pumped from 12 wells in the flood plain of the Platte River, about 3 miles north 

of Ashland. Pumping from the Ashland well field began in 1932 and by the end of 1952, a total of 

approximately 68,663 million gallons had been withdrawn from the ground-water reservoir. The 

public supply at Grand Island is pumped from a group of wells in the Platte River valley in sands 

and gravels of Pleistocene age.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Ground-water supplies are drawn upon extensively for irrigation in the lower Platte River 

valley. More than 5,500 irrigation wells are known to exist in the area, the greatest concentrations of these being in Dawson, Buffalo, Hall, and Merrick Counties. Well 9-14-19dd, an irrigation well situated in the lower Platte River valley in an area heavily pumped for irrigation,

112
NEBRASKA 113
114 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

reflects the regional water-level fluctuations. It reached the low point In the late summer of 

1941. Since 1941 the water level has been rising and in January 1952 was within 1 foot of the 

record high of 1931. The water table has shown remarkable recovery in tills region even though 

the number of irrigation wells has been increased. The rising water table during 1942 to 1952 

was the result of recharge to the ground-water reservoir by increased precipitation. The 22-year 

period of record of water-level measurements in well 9-14-19dd spans an 11-year period of deficient precipitation followed by an 11-year period of above-normal precipitation. The precipitation 

record at Kearney shows that during the 11-year period 1931-41 the precipitation was about 57 

inches below normal, a deficiency greater than 2 years of normal precipitation. The precipitation 

during the 11-year period 1942-52 Inclusive was about 16 inches above normal, a surplus equivalent of about two-thirds of a year's normal precipitation.

Well-Numbering System

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

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

the third the section in which the well is situated. Thus, the number Al-10-27adc indicates that 

the well is in the SW|SE|NE| sec. 27, T. IN., R. 10 E. The first lowercase 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, beginning in the northeast quarter. When there is 

more than one well in the smallest tract, numbers are added as suffixes. The State has been 

divided into two principal divisions. The well numbers east of the sixth principal meridian are 

preceded by the capital letter A. Those west of the sixth principal meridian have no preceding 

letter.

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.

NORTH DAKOTA

By John E. Powell

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in North Dakota was continued in 1952 in cooperation with 

the State Water Conservation Commission and the State Geological Survey. Measurements were 

made in 93 wells, 4 of which were equipped with recording gages. Locations of the observation 

wells are shown on figures 13, 14, 15, and 16. In addition to the statewide program for obtaining 

data on water levels, field work was carried on in connection with studies of ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the towns of Devils Lake, Bowbells, Stanley, and Upham. Reports on the 

ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the towns of Litchville, Mohall, and Streeter were 

published in mimeographed form. A report on the ground-water conditions in the vicinity of 

Michigan City was completed. Figure 17 shows average monthly water levels in selected wells 

from 1937 to 1952.

Precipitation

The precipitation in the State as a whole in 1952 was 12.25 inches, or 4.87 inches below 

the 1892-1952 average. Departures at individual stations ranged from 10.52 inches below 

normal to 1.68 inches above normal. Above-normal precipitation occurred only in a small area 

in the central part of the State. For the State as a whole, the precipitation was below average 

during all months except January, February, July, and August.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The average change in ground-water levels during 1952 followed the general pattern of 

previous years. The water levels declined during the winter months of January, February, and 

March. They rose during April and May, and then declined steadily during the rest of the year. 

The lowest water levels of the year were recorded in December. At the end of 1952, the average 

ground-water level was 2.05 feet lower than at the end of 1951. The average monthly water 

levels from 1937 through 1952 in selected observation wells are given in the following table. 

Figure is a graphical presentation of the data in the table.

Monthly average water levels, in feet above assumed datum planes, 

in observation wells in North Dakota, 1937-52.

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system used in this report conforms to a system now adopted for use 

in all the Missouri Basin States. The well numbers are derived by reference to the township, 

range, and section system of land subdivision in use over the greater part of the United States. 

The number serves to designate the well specifically and, also, indicates its location in the field.

164 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

In North Dakota, the land descriptions are referred to the base line that extends laterally across 

the middle of Arkansas and to the fifth principal meridian. All townships are north of the base 

line and all ranges are west of the principal meridian. The well number consists of three 

segments divided by hyphens. The first segment is the township number north of the base line 

and the second is the range number west of the principal meridian. The third segment consists 

of a number followed by lowercase letters that are again followed by a number. The first 

number indicates the section within the designated township. The section is divided into quarters 

(160-acre tracts) designated by the first lowercase letter. The letters a, b, c, and d are 

assigned in a counterclockwise order beginning in the northeast quarter. The quarter section is 

again divided into four parts (40-acre tracts) designated by the second lowercase letter. In some 

cases, the 40-acre tracts have been subdivided into 10-acre tracts designated by a third lowercase letter. The number following the lowercase letters simply refers to the numerical order in 

which the wells were scheduled in the 40-acre or 10-acre tract of land indicated by the preceding 

part of the well number. As an example, the first well scheduled in the NW^SWi sec. 5, 

T. 138 N., R. 57 W. is designated 138-57-5cbl. If a second well were scheduled in the same 

40-acre tract, it would be designated 138-57-5cb2.

SOUTH DAKOTA

By George A. LaRocque, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, started in 1935, was continued through cooperation with 

the State Geological Survey until 1946. Since 1946, measurements of water levels have been 

continued as part of the Missouri River Basin program. Figure 18 shows the areas in which 

investigations have been made.

Precipitation

It was a dry year for most localities in South Dakota in 1952. The year was marked by 

decreasing amounts of precipitation as the season progressed. Early in the year there was an 

abundance of precipitation which fell as snow. Later there was a gradual decline in the moisture 

culminating in the record dryness of September and October. The annual precipitation for 1952 

averaged 14.03 inches, the third lowest year on record. In late March and April there was a 

record flood of the Missouri River and its tributaries.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

When ground-water levels and artesian pressures are annually at the year's high following 

the same relative sequence of events, it has been found that the depth to the water-table or to the 

piezometric surface is related to the total and average precipitation occurring after the primary 

cause of the year's high. In effect, the depth to water in any well, not affected by artificial 

withdrawals, for any date following the year's high can be determined from two curves: (a) a 

curve representing average daily precipitation as related to effective precipitation for groundwater recharge and discharge in the vicinity of the well; (b) a well-coefficient curve relating depth 

to water per inch of total precipitation and number of days from when ground-water levels or 

artesian pressures, in effect, last coincided with the land surface (D/W=0).

In the James River Valley of South Dakota, though precipitation for the year was near a 

record low, ground-water levels and artesian pressures were not everywhere among the lowest 

for the period of record. Ground-water levels were not as low as might have been expected 

because the spring break-up did not occur until a relatively late date and the effective period of 

surface runoff due to melting snow and ice was prolonged until near the middle of May, a very 

much later date than usual.

A complete explanation of the method for determining depths to water in wells, and its 

application in the determination of safe yields and over-all effects of ground-water withdrawals, - 

is included in the report on the ground-water investigation of the Oahe Unit, James Division, 

South Dakota.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. The first numeral of a 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, 

following the section number indicate the well location within the section: the first letter denotes 

the quarter section (160-acre tract), the second the quarter-quarter section (40-acre tract), and 

the third the quarter-quarter-quarter section (10-acre tract). The letters are assigned in a 

counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. If the location is known within a 

10-acre tract, three lowercase letters are shown in the well number. When there is more than 

one well in the smallest significant tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added as 

suffixes. Well numbers preceded by the capital letters A and D designate wells in the northeast 

and southeast quadrants, respectively, of the Black Hills meridian and base line system. Well 

numbers not preceded by a capital letter designate wells in the 5th or 6th principal meridian and 

base line systems. Following is a graphical illustration of this method of well numbering within 

a section of 640 acres.

WISCONSIN

By W. J. Drescher

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Wisconsin. Nine wells in northern Wisconsin were measured by the State Conservation Department. Measurements of water levels in four wells near the Brule River in Forest County and in 

one well near the Menominee River in Marinette County were measured as a part of ground-water 

studies in the Northern Peninsula of Michigan. (See Water-Supply Paper 1221, page 

Menominee River Basin.) The program in Wisconsin included 224 wells, 5 with nonrecording 

gages and 27 with recording gages. Figures 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 show the location of observation wells in northwestern, north-central, northeastern, southwestern, and southeastern 

Wisconsin. Reports on Brown County (Water-Supply Paper 1190) and the Milwaukee-Waukesha 

area (Water-Supply Paper 1229) were released to open file.

Precipitation and Temperature

The total precipitation in Wisconsin in 1952, 28.75 inches, was 1.58 inches below normal 

and 9.49 inches below that for 1951. The temperature for 1952 was 44.7° F. which is 1.3° above 

average and 3.1° above 1951.

Pumpage

Pumpage, both municipal and industrial, was greater in 1952 than in 1951 owing to higher 

temperatures and lower precipitation. The distribution of pumpage in the Green Bay area shifted 

toward the northwest part of the city. Elsewhere the distribution of pumpage remained about the 

same as in 1951. Pumpage for irrigation was greater in 1952 than in 1951 but was generally 

light owing to periodic precipitation during most of the growing season.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Static water levels in three artesian wells penetrating the sandstone aquifer of eastern 

Wisconsin are shown in figure 24. The fluctuations of the water level in Bn 9 in Green Bay, 

Brown County, are a direct result of pumping in the area. The water level in Bn 9 in 1952 was 

about 15 feet higher than in 1951 owing to the shift in the distribution of pumpage. The fluctuations in Ml 36 reflect changes in pumpage in the Milwaukee area. The water level in this well 

reached an all time low on September 21, 1952, about 2 feet lower than on August 18, 1951. Ke 6, 

in Kenosha County, is near the coalescence of the Milwaukee and Chicago cones of depression. 

The hydrograph of this well shows a continuing downward trend indicating that the cones of 

depression are growing.

Hydrographs of static water levels in four water-table wells are shown in figure 25. In 

each case an upward trend indicates recharge from precipitation and a downward trend indicates 

evapotranspiration and discharge to streams. The high water levels in the spring are dependent 

upon spring rains, the rate of melting and amount of accumulated snow cover, and whether the 

ground is frozen. It is significant that, despite deficient precipitation in the last four months of 

1952, water levels in water-table wells remained higher than in 1951.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered consecutively within each county. The counties are designated by a 

two-letter abbreviation derived from the county name. For example, Bn 9 designates well 

number 9 in Brown County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.
