WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1953

Part 3. NORTH-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, ta 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, 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 1953 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.

In 1948 recording gages were installed on 4 wells at Argonne National Laboratory in Du Page 

County. vVater levels on these 4 wells are in altitude above sea level to conform with other data 

at the laboratory.

Precipitation

The precipitation at the Tiskilwa rainfall station in 1953, as obtained from records of the 

U. S. Weather Bureau, was 28. 67 inches, 5.78 inches below normal. Below-normal precipitation 

occurred in all months except June, July, and December.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

During 1953, 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 summer and low 

levels in the fall and winter. Below-average water levels were recorded for all months of the 

year except May. The low of 21.15 feet observed on November 28 was the lowest level of record 

and was 0.47 foot lower than the 1952 low. The high of 7.25 feet observed on May 23 was 4.17 feet 

lower than the 1952 high. The range of fluctuation during 1953 was 13. 90 feet.

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 1953 in cooperation with the State 

Geological Survey. Measurements were made in 149 wells, 19 of which were equipped with 

recording gages. During the year, 5 wells were dropped from the program, and 2 wells were 

added, making a total of 143 wells in 36 counties in the observation-well program at the end of 

the year. Figure 3 shows locations 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 1953, as reported by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 25.87 inches, 5.50 inches below normal. Deficiencies in statewide precipitation 

were noted for each month from July through November. Drought conditions which had begun 

locally in southeastern Iowa late in June spread to include all sections of the State. There were 

very considerable variations in the amount of rainfall received in different sections. For example, in the northwest and north-central sections the averages were slightly greater than the 

normal for August, while in the southeast less than one-fourth the normal amount fell. Moderate 

to heavy rains over western and northern Iowa and light rains in the southeast which occurred 

November 20-22 brought to an end the drought which had lasted for 99 days over the greater part 

of the State. In that period only 6 percent of the normal rainfall had fallen over portions of central Iowa. Precipitation in December was slightly above normal with the heaviest amounts 

recorded in the east-central and southeastern section. The increased precipitation helped surface 

soil conditions, but the amounts were too small to replenish subsoil moisture supplies. Many 

communities dependent upon surface reservoirs for their water supply, particularly in southern 

Iowa, continued at the end of the year to enforce ordinances controlling nonessential usage of 

water. Many farmers were hauling water for stock and for domestic purposes.

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 1953 were at unusually low stages in most sections of the State as a result of 

below-normal precipitation in the previous year. The high levels in the spring were generally 

below high levels of previous years, and less water was in storage at the beginning of the period 

of heavy ground-water withdrawal. As fall precipitation was deficient the shallow aquifers were 

not recharged as usual,and water levels below average were recorded in a majority of the shallow 

observation wells in the State. Water-level fluctuations in well 88-38-7N1, 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 fluctuations 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, 

are 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 air-conditioning 

purposes. This is an unused well about half a mile from heavily pumped areas of Cedar Rapids an-J 

completed at a depth of 156 feet in the upper part of dolomite of Silurian age, which is locally abort

400 feet thick. Most wells in Cedai Rapids develop water supplies for air-conditioning 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, 1953, the water level was 70. 11 feet, which is 12. 89 feet below its stage of 

December 31, 1943.

We 11-Number ing System

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

to thp 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 SE^SWi sec. 25, serial number 1.

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.

* No record for July, August, and September.
KANSAS

By Betty J. Mason, G. J. Stramel, and W. W. Wilson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued during 1653 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. The observation-well program was continued in the Missouri 

Basin in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. This program included the maintenance and measurement of a network of observation wells to provide data on changes in storage of 

principal ground-water reservoirs. Measurements were made in 522 wells in 1953. Figures 8, 

9 , 10, and 11 show the location of the observation wells. Continuous records of water levels 

were obtained for 11 of the wells from recording gages.

Three reports in regard to ground-water investigations were published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas: Bulletin 100, Geology and ground-water resources of Cheyenne County, by 

G. C. Prescott, Jr.; Bulletin 101, Geology and ground-water resources of Jackson County, 'by 

K. L. Walters; and Bulletin 105, Geology and ground-water resources of Sherman County, by 

G. C. Prescott, Jr. A report, Water resources of the Kansas City area, Missouri and Kansas, 

by V. C. Fishel, J. K. Searcy, and F. H. Rainwater was published as Circular 273 by the U. S. 

Geological Survey.

Precipitation

The drought that began in 1952 continued throughout 1953. The year averaged the 10th driest 

and the 8th warmest of the 67-year record. The annual average precipitation for the State was 

20. 89 inches, 5.71 inches below normal and only 2.55 inches more than the driest year of 1936. 

The dry weather was most pronounced over the eastern and south-central areas. Northwestern 

sections had near-normal precipitation. The 6-month period of April through September wais the 

uriest of record in northeastern and east-central parts of the State, having only 14. 38 inches and 

14. 42 inches, respectively. The total inches of rain in the south-central part of the State was only 

55 percent of normal and 8. 80 inches less than average.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Because of the low precipitation in 1953, ground-water levels generally declined throughout 

the year. The hydrographs of well 12 in Sedgwick County and well 1 in Finney County are shown 

in figure 12. These wells reflect natural fluctuations in water levels; they show the general decline 

in water levels in much of the State as a result of the drought during 1952 and 1953. At the end of 

1953 the water level in well 12 was only 0.2 foot higher than the record low stage in 1938. The 

water level in well 1 was about 1 foot higher than the record low in early 1941. Figure 13 shows 

the hydrograph of well 307 in the center of the southern part of the present Wichita well field. 

Prior to 1949 this well was outside the well field and showed little or no response to pumping from 

the Wichita wells. In 194G the well field was extended and well 307 was surrounded by pumping 

veils. Consequently, pumping in the field has definitely influenced the water level in the well. 

However, figure 13 indicates that not all the decline of the water level in well 307 resulted from 

pumping; at least 8 feet of this decline probably has been a result of the drought in the area during 

1952 and 1953.

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 NWiSEjSE? sec. 8, T. IS., R. 38 W,

'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.

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.

MINNESOTA

By Robert Schneider and G. C. Straka

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Minnesota was continued in 1953 in coooeration with tie 

Division of Waters of the State Department of Conservation and the Board ot County Commissioners of Hennepin County. Measurements were made in 26 wells, 10 of which were equipped 

with recording gages. A report on the water resources of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area was 

published.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for Minnesota in 1953, as reported by the U. S. Weather Bure* i, 

was 30.68 inches or 5. 50 inches above the average. The maximum positive departure from no - 

mal (19.58 inches) occurred in the northeast. The wettest month was June and the driest was 

October.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The following water-table wells attained new high levels as a result of the heavy spring a d 

summer rainfall: Carlton County, B49.17.22cbb, B49.17. 23caa, B49.17. 27bab; Clay County, 

137. 45.30cdbl; Hennepin County, 118.23. 35aaa2; Morrison County, 130. 29. 8dcc.

In most of the water-table wells unaffected by pumping there was a net rise as of the end rf 

the year. The maximum rise was 2.44 feet in well 108. 30. 9add, Brown County.

Acknowledgments

The measurements prior to 1940 in well B29. 24. 27dba, Hennepin County, were made by 

A. F. Meyer, Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Highway Department made the measurements 

in wells B29.24.27dba and 118. 23. 35aaa2, Hennepin County prior to November 1952, and in well 

117.22. 8dbb3, Hennepin County prior to 1953. 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 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. If the location is known within a 

10-acre tract, 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 in the northwest quadrant 

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

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

By J. B. Cooper

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

part of the State in 1953 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 1953 in the well at Trenton, Grundy County. 

Water-level measurements were made in 2 Phelps County wells 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 8.70 feet, with the 

highest reading of 2.10 feet on May 10. The low reading of 10. 80 feet observed on October 18 was 

the lowest level of record. The water level was 2. 41 feet lower at the end of 1953 than at the end 

of 1952. 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 1953. Many of the well 

records in this report have been compiled as 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 have been increased. Records of wells in which 

water-level measurements have been made, which are not listed in this report, but have been 

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

forms. Measurements of water levels made in 349 wells are included in this report. Figure 14 

shows the location of the observation wells. The following organizations cooperated informally: 

United States Bureau of Reclamation in the Republican River valley; United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service in Cherry and Garden Counties; 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 1953 was 20. 28 inches, 2. 45 inches below 

normal and 0. 06 inch below that of 1952.

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 northeast of Ashland. Pumping from the Ashland well field began in 1932 and by the end of 1953 a total 

of approximately 75,133 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

The most intensive development of ground water for irrigation, public, and domestic supplies in Nebraska is in the lower Platte River valley. Irrigation from wells in this region was 

begun in 1893; early development was slow and by 1911 only 6 wells had been drilled. By 1931 

about 700 wells had been drilled. Since that time, the development has givwn rapidly, with the 

greatest development occurring during the drought years of the 1930's. Now 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. East of Kearney, in Buffalo County, the amount of surface 

water available for irrigation is very small and nearly all irrigation in this area is dependent 

upon ground-water supplies. Figure 15 shows a hydrograph of the water-level fluctuations in well 

9-14-19dd, an irrigation well in the area east of Kearney, heavily pumped for irrigation. The 

water-level fluctuations in this well reflect the regional water-level fluctuations. The graph 

shows a secular decline of the water table during the 1930's. It reached a low point in October of 

1941, after which it began an upward trend that reached a maximum in January 1952 which was 

less than a foot lower than the record high in 1931. The rising water table during the period 

1942-52 was the result of recharge to the ground-water reservoir by increased precipitation. The 

period of 1952-53 was deficient in precipitation and recharge to the ground-water reservoir was 

relatively low. Low recharge coupled with increased withdrawals of ground water, because of 

heavier pumping, caused the water table to decline. Ordinarily, the water removed from the 

reservoir is replaced during the fall and winter by rainfall and seepage from the Platte River. 

During the past 2 years, however, the fail and winter months were very dry and there was little 

or no flow in the river; consequently, the ground-water reservoirs were not recharged as fully as 

they normally are during the fall after the pumping season, and at the year's end the water level 

was the lowest on record for December.

In Dawson County between the fall of 1952 and the fall of 1953 the average net decline of the 

water level in 18 observation wells was 0. 39 foot; in Buffalo County the average net decline in 13 

observation wells was 2. 33 feet; in Hall County the average net decline in 11 observation wells 

was 1.51 feet; and in Merrick County the average net decline in 9 observation wells was 0.75 foot.

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 SWiSEiNE? 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.

NORTH DAKOTA

By John E. Powell

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in North Dakota was continued in 1953 in cooperation witu 

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

made in 73 wells, 4 of which were equipped with recording gages. In 16 wells, water-levels were 

measured once a week by local observers. Figures 16 -19 show location of observation wells. 

In addition to the statewide program for obtaining information on water levels, field work was 

carried on in connection with studies of ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the towns of 

Tioga, Powers Lake, Hunter, and Hankinson. Reports on ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the towns of Minnewaukan, Michigan, and Fairmont were published in mimeographed foim.

Precipitation

The precipitation in the State as a whole was 20. 04 or 2. 92 inches above normal. Departures at individual stations ranged from 10. 95 inches above normal to 2. 00 inches below normal. 

Below-normal precipitation occurred only in scattered areas throughout the State. For the State 

as a whole, the precipitation was above average during all months! except January, February, 

July, August, September, and November.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The average change in ground-water levels followed the same_general pattern of previous 

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

rose from April through July. The period of rise was lengthened somewhat due to heavy rains in 

June, after which water levels declined for the balance of the year. At the end of 1953, the average ground-water level was 2.58 feet higher than at the end of 1952. The average monthly water 

levels from 1937 through 1953 in selected observation wells are given in the following table. 

Figure 20 is a graphical presentation of the data in the table.

We 11-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. In

NORTH DAKOTA, BENSON COUNT'S 179

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 NWjSW? 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 J. R. Jones

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. The observation-well program includes 69 wells, 

of which 5 are equipped with recording gages.

Precipitation

South Dakota in 1953 had a wet spring followed'by an exceptionally dry fall. Precipitation 

was consistently above normal during the first 4 months of the year and during June and August. 

Some showers were very heavy locally. The annual precipitation for 1953 averaged 21. 84 inches, 

which was about 2. 5 inches above normal and about 7 inches more than in 1952.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Ground-water levels were generally high during 1953. Intermittent melting of snow during 

the mild late winter and spring and high precipitation resulted in greater than normal recharge. 

Water levels in some wells were highest in July because of heavy showers. Relatively high water 

levels in December reflect thaws. Many of the wells are affected by barometric pressure; of these 

well 115-66-2aaaa is most notable.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management 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. 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. 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. >Vell 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 K. F. Anderson and R. E. Audinl

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Wisconsin. The program included 234 wells: 5 with nonrecording gages, and 30 with recording 

gages. The State Conservation Department measured 9 wells in the northern part and 5 wells in 

the southwestern part of the State. Four wells in northern Forest County and one in.Marinette 

County, all near the Michigan boundary, were measured as a part of ground-water studies in the 

Northern Peninsula of Michigan. Figures 21, 22 , 23, 24, and 25 show the location of observation 

wells throughout Wisconsin. Areal studies of ground-water resources were continued in Outagamie and Portage Counties, and in the lead-zinc area of southwestern Wisconsin. A new study 

was begun in Fond du Lac County.

Precipitation and Temperature

The normal annual precipitation in Wisconsin is 30. 33 inches. The total for the year 1953 

was 29. 95 inches, 0.38 inch below normal and 1.20 inches above that for 1952. Precipitation 

during the first half of the year was greater than normal but during the second half was both deficient and less regular than normal. Insufficient rainfall during late summer and autumn resulted 

in a near drought condition throughout most of the State until the end of November.

The average temperature in 1953 was 45.7° which was 2.3° above the annual average of 

43. 4° and 1. 0° above 1952. During only two months in 1953 were average temperatures below 

normal. The average temperature for April was about 3° below normal and the July average was 

\" below normal. Temperature variations above normal for the other ten months ranged from 

0.1° in September to 6.2° in October.

Pumpage

Total pumpage for 1953 was increased over pumpage for the previous year. Both municipal 

and industrial pumpage were greater in the area around Green Bay. In the Milwaukee-Waukesha 

area, municipal water use was only slightly greater than in 1952. Data received from seven industries, representing about 25 percent of the industrial ground-water pumpage in the Milwaukee 

area, indicated no increase in the consumption of ground water for manufacturing purposes in 

1953. Pumpage figures from these industries for August and September showed a 24 percent increase over the same months in 1952, which was offset by decreased pumpage during some of the 

other months of the year. Irrigation pumpage for 1953 was considerably greater than in 1952 due 

to insufficient and periodic rainfall.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Static water levels in three artesian wells penetrating the sandstone aquifer are shown in 

figure 26. The fluctuations of the water level in well Bn 9 in Green Bay, Brown County, are a 

direct result of pumping in the area. An increase in the rate of pumping caused a decline in water level to a new low on September 4, about 11 feet below the previous record low. Changes in 

the rate of pumping in the Milwaukee area are reflected in the fluctuations of well Ml 36. The 

water level in this well reached a new low on September 9, about 9 feet below the previous all 

time low. Well 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 27. 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 during the summer and autumn the 

water-table wells showed smaller declines than in previous years and, except for well Ml 148, 

remained at fairly high levels. The declines in water levels in wells Lf 14 and Lf 57 in Lafayette 

County are due to pumping from nearby lead-zinc mines.

Well-Numbering System

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

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