PartS. NORTHWESTERN

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, NORTHWESTERN 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.

COLORADO

By V. M. Burtis

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Colorado Water Conservation Board and the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. In 1952, 

measurements were made in 214 wells, 3 of which were equipped with recording gages. Water 

levels in 126 wells were measured by W. E. Code of the Agricultural Experiment Station. (See 

figs. 2-9 for location of observation wells.)

Precipitation

Precipitation in Colorado was above normal in January, March, August, and November, 

and was about normal during April and May. The precipitation during the remainder of the year 

was below normal. The extended drought Of the southwest continued to affect parts of southeastern Colorado where some areas received less precipitation than in any of the drought years of 

the 1930's. Precipitation in parts of Baca County was about 7 inches which is less than 50 percent of normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in the most heavily pumped areas of the State have declined below the 10-year 

normal, except in the South Platte Valley between Denver and Kersey. In the main stem of the 

South Platte and in its major tributaries where surface water is applied for irrigation, the water 

levels have changed very little from last year. In the tributary valleys where little or no surface water is applied and where pumping was heavy, the water levels continued to decline at a 

serious rate. In the Kiowa-Bijou area in Morgan County and the Gary area in Beaver Creek valley south of Brush, the water table is approaching a critical stage.

Water levels in the Arkansas Basin remained about the same as last year even though precipitation in the basin was below normal. There were slight to moderate declines and rises 

along the main stem, slight declines in Huerfano County, and slight rises in Baca County.

Water levels in San Luis Valley rose abruptly because of the above-average runoff in 1952 

after having reached new lows in 1951. The rise was as much as 9 feet in some areas north of 

Monte Vista. In an area of 283 square miles north of Monte Vista the rise of water level caused 

a gain in ground-water storage amounting to 135,000 acre-feet.

Well-Number ing System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first letter of a well number gives the quadrant of the meridian and base-line 

system, beginning in the northeast quadrant (A) and proceeding counterclockwise. All wells in 

Colorado lie in the northwest (B) and southwest (C) quadrants of the sixth principal meridian and 

fortieth parallel base-line system. The first numeral of a well number indicates the township, 

the second the range, and the third the section. The lower-case letters a, b, c, and d following 

the section number locate the well within the section. The first letter denotes the quarter section, 

the second letter the quarter-quarter section, and the third letter the quarter-quarter-quarter 

section.

IDAHO

By J. W. Stewart, Eugene Shuter, and G. E. Brandvold

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Idaho has been continuous since 1946, in cooperation with 

the State Department of Reclamation. Measurements in observation wells in Ada and Canyon 

Counties were made in collaboration with the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District; in the Rathdrum 

Valley, Kootenai County in collaboration with the Washington Water Power Company, the United 

States Navy, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game; in the Snake River Plain in collaboration 

with the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the Atomic Energy Commission. Special investigations on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission, begun in 1949, were continued in the central Snake River Plain. An area! study in the western Snake River Plain was continued as a noncooperative Federal project. A special study of ground-water possibilities in the southern border 

area of the Snake River Plain was made for the Bureau of Reclamation. At the end of the year 

measurements were being made in 99 observation wells in 17 of the 44 counties in Idaho. Of these 

wells, 14 were equipped with recording gages and 2 with nonreccrding gages. (See figs. 10-13.)

The following mimeographed reports, containing well records and water-level measurements, 

were released in 1952: Records of wells and ground-water withdrawals in the Dry Creek area, 

Cassia and Twin Falls Counties, Southern Idaho, by S. W. West and S. W. Fader; Records of 

wells and ground-water levels in Minidoka County, Idaho, by S. W. Fader and R. W. Mower; 

Water levels in wells in Bingham, Butte, and Jefferson Counties, Idaho, by Eugene Shuter and 

G. E. Brandvold.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the heavily irrigated Boise Valley in Ada and Canyon Counties, the effects of local precipitation on water-level fluctuations are largely masked by the effects of recharge by seepage 

losses from irrigation. Water levels in 3 of 9 wells in the valley, for which long-term records 

are available, reached new high levels during 1952, in the latter part of the irrigation season and 

near the year-end. Seven of the wells showed a small net decline during the year as a result of 

below-normal precipitation in late 1951 and all of 1952. Figure 14 shows the long-term waterlevel records for wells 4N lW-36dal and 3N 2W-25aal in the Boise Valley. Well 7N 2E-34cal, 

in Boise County, ranged slightly above normal and the year-end water level was 1.7 feet above 

that of 1951. This well, in a mountain valley area, represents the natural ground-water storage 

available to maintain the dry-season flow of local streams. There was a net rise of 0. 5 foot in 

well 3N 41E-6cbl in Bonneville County, near the edge of an extensive irrigated area. Wells in 

the Raft River Valley, Cassia County ranged slightly below normal and did not show appreciable 

net changes in storage, despite substantially increased withdrawals of ground water for new 

irrigation developments in the valley. Irrigation withdrawals in 1952 were about 23,000 acrefeet, compared with 18,000 in 1951, 16,000 in 1950, 12,000 in 1949, and 9,000 in 1948. In the 

Rathdrum Valley of Kootenai County, water levels fluctuated through their normal range, some 

being slightly above normal and others slightly below. In the northern part of Rathdrum Valley, 

water levels in the wells appear to reach their highest yearly levels before midsummer;those 

in the southwestern part tend to reach their highest yearly levels after midsummer. Wells near 

Pend Oreille Lake attain their highest levels in late spring when the stage of the lake is at its 

maximum. A hydrograph of water levels in observation well 53N 4W-24bbl, in the northern part 

of Rathdrum Valley, is shown in figure 15. The hydrograph shows that water levels have risen 

about 20 feet since 1941. The rise in water levels is a result of a wet cycle which began about 

1941. In Latah County, well 39N 5W-7ddl, a nonflowing artesian well in the Moscow Basin had 

a net rise of 0.53 foot, in contrast to the cumulative decline noted in previous years. In well 

39N 5W-10acl, a shallow water-table well east of the Moscow Basin, the water levels ranged 

slightly below those of 1951, with a net decline of 1.98 feet. Total precipitation in the area was 

below normal for the year. In the Malad Valley of Oneida County, 10 of 24 observed wells reached 

new record high levels, continuing the trend of 1951 when 6 observed wells reached new record 

highs. In 11 of these wells water levels at the end of the year were 0.01 foot to 6. 5 feet above 

the 1951 year-end levels; in other wells water levels were 0.2 foot to 4.3 feet below 1951 yearend levels. Precipitation in the Malad Valley was below normal and considerably less than in 

1951. Differences in net changes of water levels and in departure from average are partly a 

result of local pumpage and discharge by flowing wells. The establishment of a number of record 

high levels in 1952 was partly a cumulative result of above-normal precipitation in the area during 

several past years. The general net rise in levels, however, indicates that recharge exceeded

the draft on the supply during the year. The wells in this area characteristically reached their 

highest levels during the period from February to April. Water levels in wells 3N 33E-3abl and 

5N 34E-9bdl, in Bingham and Jefferson Counties, fluctuate in response to changes in barometric 

pressure, as well as to other factors. Study indicates that the barometric efficiency of the wells 

is about 60 percent. The water levels reported for these wells are not adjusted for the effects of 

barometric pressure. A hydrograph of the water level in observation well 3N 41E-6cbl Bonneville 

County, in the eastern Snake River Plain, is shown in figure 16. Water-level fluctuations in 1952 

in most observation wells with 6 or more years of record are summarized in the following table.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first segment 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 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. Well 52N 4W-12cdl is in the 

SEiSWi sec. 12, T. 52 N., R. 4 W. The numeral following the third segment of the well number 

indicates the order in which the well was recorded.

MONTANA

By Frank A. Swenson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Montana was continued in 1952 in connection with groundwater studies being made as part of the program for development of the Missouri River Basin. 

Measurements of water levels in 21 wells are included in this report. Figure shows the location of the wells. The water level in many other wells in the State are measured at regular intervals in connection with ground-water investigational projects and these measurements will be 

included in reports on these studies. On the Lower Marias Project in Hill and Chouteau Counties 

measurements of the water level in 6 wells were made by personnel of the Bureau of Reclamation. 

In Helena Valley, measurements of water levels were made in 38 wells. In Townsend Valley, 

measurements were made in 96 wells. On the Buffalo Rapids Project measurements we're made 

in 120 wells, and one recording gage was maintained. In Gall at in Valley, measurements were 

made in 85 wells, and 6 recording gages were maintained. On the Crow Agency Project, measurements were made and 7 recording gages were maintained. (See fig. 17.)

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In the part of Montana west of the Continental Divide, the water levels in 1952 were lower 

than at any previous time during the period of record. In north central Montana, the water levels 

were about normal, except in Glacier County. The water level in well B-32-113dd, as a result 

of the prolonged dry weather in the late summer and fall, dropped to the lowest level during the 

period of record - 2.67 on October 13. The water level in well A-32-15-17dd in Hill County, 

which had risen steadily since 1947, reached a peak on May 16, 1952 (42.18) and since then has 

shown some minor fluctuations. Water levels were about normal during the year in all other 

parts of Montana. See Water-Supply Paper 1160, page 39, for discussion of ground-water areas.

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. The first lowercase letter denotes the quarter 

section (160-acre tract) and the second the quarter-quarter section (40-acre tract). The letters 

are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. Well numbers 

are preceded by the capital letters A, B, C, and D to designate the location of the well in the 

northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants, respectively of the Montana principal 

meridian and base line system. Thus the number A-l-10-27ad indicates that the well so designated 

is in the SE^NE? sec. 27, T.I N., R. 10 E.

OREGON

By F. A. Watkins, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Engineer. Measurements of water level and artesian pressure were made in 94 wells. Six 

nonrecording gages were in operation during the year. The Swan Lake-Yonna Valleys report 

entitled, "Geology and Ground-Water Resources of the Swan Lake-Yonna Valleys Area, KLamath 

County, Oregon" was released to the open file. The Tualatin Valley, Rogue River, and Lake 

County reports are in preparation and field work was started for a report on UmatUla River basin. 

(See figs. 18, 19, and 20.)

Precipitation

Precipitation ranged from 90 percent at Baker to 144 percent of normal at KLamath Falls. 

Precipitation for the State as a whole was above normal, being on the average about 106 percent 

of the 50-year average on the 17 stations for which it was computed. The rainfall pattern was 

much the same as it was in 1951, that is, a period of excessive rainfall during the fall, winter, 

and early spring months, followed by an extremely dry summer, with the excess in the first 

period being enough to offset the deficiency of the latter period. Above-normal snowfall contributed to the greater-than-average winter precipitation. Ground-water levels generally were 

higher than average during the spring months due to the excessive fall and winter rainfall and 

again, as last year, water levels in some places were the highest on record.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

September-end water levels in the Willamette Valley subprovince in 1952 were on the average about 0.6 foot below those of 1951. The spring water levels generally were higher than normal 

while the fall levels were, in most cases, at normal level or slightly below. In the Deschutes 

River subprovince, well 14/15-15Q1 in the Prineville area and outside the area of heavy withdrawals from the artesian aquifer, was 6.0 feet higher in September 1952 than it was in September 

1951. Well 14/16-32N1 in the heavily pumped area at Prineville was 2.70 feet higher in September 

1952 than in September 1951. Well 14/16 -19H1, drawing its water from the shallower unconfined 

zone, was 1.0 foot lower in September 1952 than in September 1951, while the September waterlevel for well 15/16-5D1, which is also in the shallow unconfined zone, was the same in 1952 as 

it was in 1951. In the Summer Lake subprovince there was an average rise in September-end 

water levels of about 0.66 foot, which indicates a general rise in ground-water storage over the 

whole area.

In seven wells in the Fort Rock area, there was an average rise of about 0.5 foot in September-end water-levels. Well 28/14-23D1, in the Silver Lake area was 0.4 foot lower in September 

1952 than in September 1951. In the Chewaucan River valley September-end water-levels were 

about 2.3 feet higher in 1952 than in 1951. Well 29/23-3J1 in the Alkali Lake area was about 0.1 

foot higher in September 1952 than it was in September 1951. Water levels in the Owyhee subprovince were, on the average, slightly lower at the year's end in 1952 than in 1951.

In the northern part of the subprovince four wells showed an average decline of about 0.5 

foot, while four wells in the southern part of the subprovince showed a rise of about 0.46 foot on 

the average. In the Burns area of the Harney Basin subprovince water levels at the end of September 1952 were on the average about 0.6 foot below those of 1951. Well 23/31-33E1 had a yearend water level which was about 0. 8 foot higher than that of 1951, while the yearly high in this 

well was 0.02 foot below that of 1951. These high water levels occurred in April both years.

In the Warner Valley area of the Harney Basin subprovince September-end water levels 

were about 0.7 foot higher in 1952 than they were in 1951. Water levels in the Walla Walla subprovince at the year-end were slightly above those of September 1951. In well 6N/35-36H1 the 

yearly high occurred in June and was 1.72 feet above the high of 1951 which also occurred in 

June.

OREGON, BAKER COUNTY 71

Observation wells in the Grande Ronde subprovince are located in both the Powder River 

and Grande Ronde River valleys. In the Baker area, Powder River valley, September-end water 

levels were on the average about 0. 2 foot above those of 1951. The highest water level of the 

year occurred in March at well 8/39-22G1, and was 0.75 foot above .the high of 1951, which also 

occurred in March. In the Grande Ronde Valley, September-end water levels were on the average 

at the same level as in 1951 at this time. The yearly high water level at well 3/38-10B1 occurred 

in February and was slightly above the high of 1951, which occurred in March.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. The part preceding the hyphen indicates township and range; the one or two digits 

immediately following the hyphen indicate the section; the letter following indicates the 40-acre 

subdivision of the section, as shown in the accompanying diagram; and the final digit indicates 

the serial number of the well within that 40-acre tract. Locations in Oregon are referred to the 

Willamette base line and meridian. If no letter appears after the township number, the township 

lies south of the base line; if no letter appears after the range number, the range lies east of the 

meridian. Thus, well 3/38-25B1 is in the NWiNEi sec. 25, T. 3 S., R. 38 E., and is the first 

well listed in this tract.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Utah, begun in 1935, was continued in 1952 in cooperation 

with the State Engineer. Investigations were continued in areas where water is pumped for irrigation purposes, namely, the Beryl-Enterprise and Milford districts of Escalante Valley, Cedar 

City Valley, Parowan Valley, Pavant Valley, Sevier Desert, and Beaver Valley. Ground-water 

investigations were also continued in the East Shore Area in cooperation with the Weber Basin 

Water Conservancy District. Detailed studies of the geology of the recharge areas in the vicinity of Pineview Reservoir in Ogden Valley were continued during the year as part of a cooperative 

program with the Utah Water and Power Board. A 354-foot test well on the north side of Pineview 

Reservoir was completed and a pumping test was conducted to determine performance characteristics. During the year measurements were made in 976 selected wells throughout 42 groundwater areas of the State. In addition, recording gages were operated in 39 wells. The records 

of 270 of these observation wells, including 19 recording gages, are given in this report. The 

distribution of the wells is shown in figure 21 . The records for the other observation wells 

listed in previous annual reports may be examined in the open file at the Utah district office of the 

Ground Water Branch, U a Geological Survey, 503 Federal Building, Salt Lake City. Some waterlevel measurements will be included from time to time in project reports that are published separately.

A report entitled "Status of development of selected ground-water basins in Utah" by 

H. E. Thomas, W. B. Nelson, B. E. Lofgren, and R. G. Butter was published as Technical 

Publication No. 7 of the State Engineer's 28th biennial report. A report entitled, "Index well in 

Ogden Valley," by H. E. Thomas was prepared as one of the series entitled "Ground-Water 

Notes. " A paper entitled, "Deep water wells in Utah County, Utah, " by H. E. Thomas, George 

H. Hansen, and Ben E. Lofgren, presented at the May meeting in Salt Lake City of the Rocky 

Mountain Section of the Geological Society of America, was published in abstract form in the 

December 1952 Bulletin of the Society.

Precipitation

The weather in Utah during 1952 was characterized by heavy snowfall and low temperatures 

in the early part of the year, followed by rapid runoff and major floods in the spring, a nearnormal summer, and a warm, dry autumn. Irrigation water was plentiful, all storage reservoirs 

were filled, and Utah Lake and Great Salt Lake rose to their highest levels in decades as the 

result of Utah's greatest seasonal snowfall in its climatological history. In the autumn, however, 

Utah experienced one of its longest dry spells of record with no measurable precipitation being 

reported during the period from September 29 until about mid-November. A new record of 62 days 

with no rain was established at Salt Lake City Airport. According to records of the United States 

Weather Bureau, the precipitation in the State during 1952 was above normal in January, March, 

June, and August, and below normal for the other months. The State average of 12.20 inches for 

the year was about an inch less than normal. Warm dry weather during late summer, especially 

in the southern part of the State, was responsible for heavy pumping in many of the principal 

ground-water basins.

Pumpage

Pumpage was computed for five ground-water basins in Utah where wells are pumped for 

irrigation. The estimated total pumpage from 468 irrigation wells in these areas amounted to 

about 109,000 acre-feet. This quantity is believed to be at least 90 percent of the total pumpage 

from irrigation wells in Utah. However, it should be emphasized that flowing artesian wells 

constitute an important additional source of water in many parts of the State. The number of wells 

and the pumpage in acre-feet for several districts are shown in the following table:

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in observation wells in the Weber Delta of the East Shore Area rose 2 to 18 feet 

during 1952, the highest stages during their respective periods of record. It is believed that these 

rises were caused by recharge derived from periods of overflow during flood stages of the Weber 

River in April and May. The water levels in some of the wells in Utah and Jordan valleys reached 

new highs at the end of the year. The hydrograph for Utah Valley well (D-5-l)14adb-l (figure 22 ) 

showed a net rise of about 11 feet during the period from January 1, 1938 to December 31, 1952. 

The hydrograph for Jordan Valley well (D-2-l)4dbd-4 (figure 2$ ) showed a net rise of about 

12 feet during the period from January 1, 1935 to December 31, 1952. The hydrograph forSanpete 

Valley well (D-16-3)32ddc-2 (figure 24) showed a rise during 1952 of about 12 feet and a rise of 

about 18 feet during the period from January 1, 1939 to December 31, 1952. The hydrograph 

of Tooele Valley well (C-2-4)33add-l (figure 29) showed a net rise of about 13 feet from January 1, 

1940 to December 31, 1952. The water level in this well rose from 1940 to 1947, inclusive, and 

thereafter remained relatively constant. The rise in artesian pressure on the Erda district is 

ascribed partly to recharge by water from the Elton tunnel, used for irrigation of lands 2 to 5 miles 

south and southeast of Erda. The recharge from this source is assumed to have reached a fairly 

uniform rate after 1947. Graphs in the East Shore Area are shown in figure 25.

In the Beryl-Enterprise and Milford districts of Escalante Valley water levels have continued to decline in nearly all wells in the area where irrigation wells are concentrated. The hydrograph of well (C-35-17)25cdd-l in the Beryl-Enterprise district (figure 28) showed a net decline 

of 10 feet from January 1, 1936 to December 31, 1952. Similarly, the hydrograph of well 

(C-29-10)6ddc-l in the Milford district (figure 24) showed a net decline of about 10 feet during the 

period from January 1, 1939 to December 31, 1952. Both wells are situated in heavily pumped 

areas and are affected by pumping for irrigation. Agricultural development in Escalante Valley 

is dependent to a large extent on pumping from wells for irrigation. Approximately 16,000 acres 

in the Beryl-Enterprise district and 9,000 acres in the Milford district are irrigated from wells. 

Both districts have been closed to further development by the State Engineer. Water levels in 

most wells in the Milford district declined from December 1945 to December 1952, the greater 

part of the decline occurred during the last 3 years. The amount of decline ranged from a few 

tenths of a foot in the outlying areas to as much as 10 feet in the heavily pumped areas. In 1952 

water levels were approximately the same as they were during the drought years of the thirties. 

Water levels have declined 4 to 5 feet in an area of 9 square miles in the southeastern part of the 

district, and 3 to 4 feet in an additional area of about 7 square miles during the past 2 years. The 

area in which water levels have declined appreciably is relatively small in comparison with the 

total area of the ground-water basin in which the Milford district is situated! Declines of water

90 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHWESTERN STATES

level in the Milford district were not so great during 1952 as they were during 1950 or 1951, despite the fact that the amount of pumping during each of the 3 years was about the same. Recharge 

from Beaver River, which traverses the district, was doubtless greater in 1952 as a result of 

unprecedented runoff from snowmelt in the late spring. In an area of about 4 square miles, water 

levels rose slightlyduring 1952. The amount of water pumped from wells in the Milford district 

from 1931 through 1944, ranged from 9,500 to 16,000 acre-feet annually. During the period from 

1945 through 1952 the total annual discharge ranged from 18,000 to 32,000 acre-feet. The annual 

pumpage in each of the last 3 years has been more than 30,000 acre-feet. Li addition to the water 

pumped from wells, large amounts of water are lost by evapotranspiration in areas of natural 

discharge in the western part of the valley. Water levels in most wells in the Beryl-Enterprise 

district continued to decline during 1952. There has been a gradual decline in water levels in 

most wells since 1945 when large-scale agricultural development started. The largest decline 

has been about 12 feet. Water-level measurements begun in 1948 in a number of newly drilled 

wells show that from December 1948 to December 1952 water levels declined from 7 to 8 feet in 

an area of 19 square miles. Water levels in wells about 18 miles north of Enterprise have also 

declined. The amount of water pumped annually from wells has increased from 5,800 acre-feet 

in 1945 to about 51,300 acre-feet. Since 1950 there has been a slight decrease in total pumpage 

in this district. High runoff in both Shoal Creek and Mountain Meadow Creek, ranging from 

12,000 to 17,000 acre-feet, contributed significantly to ground-water recharge in the southern 

end of the Escalante Valley. The water level in some wells rose as much as 20 feet in 1952; 

within a radius of 2. 5 miles of Enterprise water levels were from 0.2 to 10 feet higher than they 

were in December 1948. Practically ail of the runoff from Shoal and Mountain Meadow Creeks 

was dissipated in a distance of 9 miles from Enterprise. The effect of this loss of stream flow 

was reflected in generally higher water levels in the district and pumping effects were lessened 

accordingly.

The amount of water pumped from wells for irrigation in Parowan Valley remains nearly 

constant from year to year because most of the lands are irrigated exclusively from wells. In 

general, water levels in wells are affected to a large extent by changes in the amount of recharge 

from year to year. However, pumping is known to stop the flow of many artesian wells during 

the summer, including some that may be several miles from the pumped wells. At the end of 

1952, water levels in wells in the Parowan Valley were still above the low point reached in 1935, 

but were slightly below the average for their respective periods of record. Development in this 

area has not proceeded as far as it has in Cedar City Valley to the southwest. The amount of 

water pumped in 1952 from wells in Pavant Valley was less than the amount pumped in 1951, 

because, in general, surface-water supplies were more nearly adequate in 1952. At the end of 

1952 in Cedar City Valley, the water levels in wells in the principal pumping district were lower 

than their minimum stage during the drought period of the 30's. Like other areas in the southwestern part of the United States, Cedar City Valley has been subjected to drought conditions during 

the past several years. This is also reflected in the low runoff of Coal Creek during the same 

period. The amount of water pumped from wells in Cedar City Valley is governed to some extent 

by the amount of water flowing in Coal Creek. When runoff is low there is generally an increase 

in the amount of water pumped from wells for irrigation. Water levels in wells have declined 

during the past several years in response to increased pumpage from wells.

Acknowledgments

Water-level records from several observation wells in Salt Lake Valley were furnished 

through informal cooperation with the Salt Lake City Corporation. Records of some observation 

wells in Wasatch County and 98 wells and 4 recording gages in the East Shore Area in Weber and 

Davis Counties were furnished by the Bureau of Reclamation.

Well-Numbering System

The well number indicates the location of the well with reference to land subdivision, 

according to a system adopted by the State Engineer and described in his 20th Biennial Report 

(1936), page 87. The State is divided into four quadrants by the Salt Lake base and meridian. 

These quadrants are designated by capital letters, thus: A for the northeast quadrant, representing 

townships north, ranges east; B for the northwest quadrant; C, southwest; and D, southeast. The 

designation of the township is enclosed in parentheses, and includes one of these letters, the number of the township, and the number of the range. Thus, in the number of the first well of the 

tabulation (C-26-10)32cad-l, the portion within parentheses indicates that the well is in T. 26 S., 

R. 10W. The number following the parentheses designates the section, and the lowercase letters 

give the location of the well within the section, the first letter indicating the quarter section and 

succeeding letters showing the location within the quarter-section down to a 10-acre tract. Thus, 

number (C-26-10)32cad-l represents well number 1 in the SEjNEiSWi sec. 32, T. 26 S., R. 10W. 

In the area surveyed from the Uinta special base and meridian (in Duchesne and Uintah Counties) 

the well numbers are derived in the same manner, and are preceded by the letter U. The State 

claim or application number given is that used in records of the State Engineer; claim numbers 

refer to wells that were in existence when the State ground-water law went into effect in March 1935, 

and the application numbers refer to wells completed since that date.

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; those between plus (-1-) signs are above 

the plane of reference.

WASHINGTON

By Glen D. Holmberg

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Department of Conservation and Development. Wells were measured periodically in several areas in connection with investigations of the ground-water resources of counties or other 

areas. Investigation^ projects included the Lake Washington-Sammamish Lake area in King 

County, Lewis County, and the Ahtanum Valley area in Yakima County. Ground-water investigations completed included those in Kitsap County, and in the Yelm area of Thurston and Pierce 

Counties. Also completed was an investigation of streamflow as related to the ground-water 

hydrology of the Yakima River basin. Two reports, "Progress report on ground water in the 

Columbia Basin Project, Washington" and "Records of wells, water levels, and quality of ground 

water in the Spokane Valley, Spokane County, Washington" were approved for public release. 

Measurements for 90 wells are included in this report. Five recording and nine nonrecording 

gages were operated during the year. See fig. 27.

Precipitation

The Cascade Range divides the State into eastern and western parts which have distinctly 

different climatic conditions. Annual precipitation in most of the eastern part of the State generally ranges from 7 to 15 inches except along the eastern border and in the southeastern corner. 

Average precipitation in these two areas ranges from 20 to 25 inches, and 20 to 40 inches, respectively. In western Washington, average precipitation for most of the central part of the area 

ranges from 40 to 60 inches annually. Along the west slope of the Cascades and also along the 

Pacific Coast average annual precipitation at many stations is as much as 100 inches.

The first of the following tables shows monthly distribution of precipitation at three representative stations. The normal precipitation is shown in comparison with precipitation for 1952. 

Records of the Olympia station are representative of western Washington and the records of the 

Ellensburg and Spokane stations are representative of eastern Washington. The second table 

shows precipitation for the year ending December 31, 1952 at 10 representative stations in the 

State; and also the ratio, in percent, of the 1952 precipitation to the normal annual precipitation 

for each of those stations. Precipitation data were obtained from the U. S. Weather Bureau.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

East of the Cascades, precipitation is generally low to moderate. Most aquifers are never 

full, but maintain a position of equilibrium between recharge and discharge. The water table 

in much of the area is at a considerable depth, at places being several hundred feet below the 

land surface. Precipitation available for recharge is rarely rejected; recharge occurs during 

winter and spring months when precipitation is greatest, and evaporation and transpiration 

demands are least. For these reasons during a wet cycle, which may continue for a number of 

years, the water table will show a general rise on which is superimposed the annual fluctuations. 

During a period of several dry years, of course, the converse is true, and there will be a general 

decline extending over the period. In contrast, many of the aquifers west of the Cascades are 

relatively shallow. The water table is near the surface and they are filled to overflowing nearly 

every year. Continued heavy rainfall, after a certain point is reached, does not raise the water 

table any farther. The water table generally reaches a maximum fairly early in the rainy season, 

continued rainfall holds it at that level without raising it materially. In these aquifers the annual 

range of fluctuation is much greater than the range owing to cycles of wet and dry years.

Water levels in the State were generally below normal during 1952 owing to below-normal 

precipitation over the entire State. The following examples show the water-level trends in the 

major aquifers of the State. Well 20/3-30C2, in Tacoma, is a drilled well, 244 feet deep, in sand 

and gravel. Water levels in this well were below average all year with new monthly minimums 

recorded in May, June, October, November, and December, This well is Representative of 

Tacoma public-supply wells and adjacent wells in Pierce County. Owing to below-normal precipitation throughout the year, the water level in well 30/5-22A1 in Snohomish County declined 

steadily to establish a new low in November. The water level in well 23/1-2C2 in Kit sap County, 

representative of wells in glacial sand and gravel near Puget Sound, was above average during 

the year, but owing to below-normal precipitation, declined several feet from the record high of 

1951. Well 23/19-4E2 in the town of Cashmere, is representative of shallow wells in the river 

valleys on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range. This is a dug well, 23. 5 feet deep, in sand 

and gravel. The water level in well 23/19-4E2 remained near normal through June and then 

declined steadily to a new low in December. Well 18/30-34M1, in the Columbia Basin Project 

area of Grant County is 147 feet deep. It is characteristic of the many wells in the central part 

of the State which obtain water from the extensive basaltic lava flows. The 1952 water level 

remained above the 10-year average until December when it dropped a little below average. Well 

25/45-16C1 is dug 129 feet in the very permeable glacial gravels of the Spokane Valley. This 

well is representative of wells in the Spokane River valley. Water levels were above average for 

the year, apparently owing to recharge from the extremely heavy snow pack of the winter of 

1951-52.

In contrast to the below-normal water levels in most parts of the State, water levels in 

parts of the Columbia Basin Project area rose as much as 170 feet as a result of recharge from 

irrigation and leakage from the irrigation distribution system. The most conspicuous effect of 

the leakage from the distribution system was the appearance of a number of large springs. A 

number of these issue from the scarp on the east side of Crab Creek about 6 to 8 miles north of 

Moses Lake. It was reported that for a time one of the large laterals, several miles east of this 

area, lost water along a mile of its length at the rate of 50 cubic feet per second.
130 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, NORTHWESTERN STATES

The water levels in 17 wells show rises ranging from 8 to 170 feet. Records of 3 of these 

wells are included in this report; the remaining 14 are project wells, the records of which are 

not included in this report. Adjacent to the Potholes Reservoir, south and southeast of Moses 

Lake, 4 project wells reflect the filling of the reservoir and show water level rises of 25 to 43 

feet. In an area east of Moses Lake water levels have risen 30 to 170 feet in 3 project wells, 

while farther north, well 21/28-34A1 and 2 project wells near the large springs show rises of 

29 to 55 feet. Near Ephrata the water level rose 8 and 16 feet in 2 project wells. To the southwest in well 20/26-18R1 the water level rose 42 feet and in a project well a few miles west rose 

17 feet. West of Winchester the water level rose 23 and 61 feet in 2 project wells, and in a project well, 8 miles to the south, 20 feet.

Water-level measurements extending back to 1916 show that recharge and discharge of 

ground water in the area has been in a state of equilibrium for many years. Thus, the water table 

has been comparatively stable. Over the area the water table generally has been at least 200 to 

300 feet below the land surface, and in places has been more than 700 feet below the surface. 

Irrigation of the area has upset that equilibrium by increasing the recharge, and it is probable 

that when equilibrium is reestablished the water table will be close to the land surface throughout much of the area.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. For example, in the well number 25/43-15P1, the part preceding the hyphen indicates township and range (T. 25 N., R. 43 E.) north and east of the Willamette base line and 

meridian. (Because all townships in Washington are north of the Willamette base line the letter 

N, indicating north, is omitted; and because most of the State is east of the Willamette meridian 

the letter E is omitted for those ranges east of the Willamette meridian, but W is included when 

the range lies west of the Willamette meridian.) The first digit following the hyphen indicates 

the section (sec. 15) and the letter (P) gives the 40-acre subdivision of the section as shown in the 

diagram. The last digit (1) is the serial of the well in that particular 40-acre tract. Thus, the 

first well recorded in the SE?SWi sec. 15, T. 25 N., R. 43 E., would have the number 25/43-15P1, 

and the second well would have the number 25/43-15P2.

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Engineer, the city of Cheyenne, and as part of the program for the development of the water 

resources of the Missouri River Basin. Measurement of water levels were made in 109 wells. 

In addition to the water-level measurements given in this report, many additional measurements 

of water levels were made during project studies and have been published in the project reports. 

A report entitled reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources of the Pass Creek 

Flats area, Carbon County, Wyo., was issued as U. S. Geol. Survey Circular 188. (Figs. 28-33.)

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels fluctuate in response to precipitation, surface runoff in streams, the amount 

of water used in irrigated areas, the amount of water pumped from wells and the amount of 

ground water withdrawn by plants. The Cheyenne municipal well field, Laramie County, was 

expanded during 1952. In the old part of the field there was an average decline in water levels 

of 2.1 feet during 1952. This was owing to heavy pumping of wells. In the new part of the field 

that was brought into production in the latter part of 1952, the average decline in water levels 

was 3.2 feet. In the Egbert-Pine Bluffs-Carpenter area, Laramie County, the September water 

levels declined an average of almost 2 feet from the September 1951 levels and were about 0. 5 

foot lower than in September 1941. In the area along the North Platte River in Goshen County, 

the use of water for irrigation caused an appreciable fluctuation of water levels. Water levels 

rise in the spring and continue to rise until irrigation is discontinued in the fall. In September 

1952 water levels in many wells were at record highs, and the average water level was more than 

0. 5 foot higher than in September 1951. In the Wheatland Flats area, Platte County, the water 

levels in wells rose rapidly as soon as irrigation water was applied in the spring and continued 

to rise until fall, mainly September, when irrigation was discontined. In 1952 the September 

water levels were at about the same stage as that for the previous September levels.

During the past year there has been no significant change in water levels in the Pass Creek 

Flats area, Carbon Co. ; the Laramie Plains, Albany Co.; the La Prele area, Converse Co.; 

the Owl Creek Project, Hot Springs Co.; the Paintrock Project, Big Horn Co.; and the Riverton 

Project, Fremont Co. Water levels in wells in these areas followed about the same seasonal 

fluctuations in 1952 as they did in 1951.

Well-Numbering System

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

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

and the third the section. The lowercase letters, a, b, c, and d, following the section number 

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

second the 40-acre tract; and the third the 10-acre tract. When more than one well is in the 

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

shows a graphical illustration of this method of well numbering within a section of 640 acres. 

Well numbers preceded by the capital letters A, B, C, and D designate wells in the northeast, 

northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants, respectively, of the Wind River meridian and 

base line system. Well numbers not preceded by a capital letter designate wells in the sixth 

principal meridian and base line system.
