WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1952

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Say re

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

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

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

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

Papers from 1940 through 1952.

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

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

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

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 irch 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 o~'er large 

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

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

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

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

additive depending upon the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, SOUTHEASTERN 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 ba^ed 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.

ALABAMA

By George W. Swindel, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Alabama, begun in 1940, was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the Geological Survey of Alabama; the Waterworks Board, city of Montgomery; and 

the city of Huntsville. Water-level measurements were made in 18 wells, 11 of which are 

equipped with recording gages. The locations of the observation wells are shown in figure 2. 

During the year detailed ground-water investigations were continued in Madison, Montgomery, 

Tuscaloosa, and Wilcox Counties. Field work for the detailed investigation in Monroe Cornty 

begun in 1951 was completed. The field work for the reconnaissance investigation begun it 1951 

in the Piedmont area as the first phase of a series of ground-water studies in East Alabaira was 

completed. A detailed study of the water supply in the Birmingham area was carried out. A 

report entitled "Water supply of the Birmingham area, Alabama, " by W. H. Robinson, J. B. Ivey, 

and G. A. Billingsley, was published as Geological Survey Circular 254. In addition, bas^ 

ground-water data were furnished 48 municipalities, 48 industries, 98 individuals, 9 Federal 

agencies, and 21 State agencies during 1952.

Precipitation

Precipitation, mostly rainfall, is reflected in the fluctuation of water levels in water-table 

wells within a few days or in some cases a few hours. Owing to the influence of the Gulf of 

Mexico, intermittent heavy rains fall during July, August, and September. These rains are 

sometimes torrential and contribute some recharge to the ground-water reservoir, although a 

large percentage of the water runs off in surface streams. The greatest amounts of rainfall occur 

in the late winter and early spring months. The year 1952 was marked by severe droughts during 

June, July, October, and November, and rainfall generally ranged from subnormal to normal. 

Above-normal temperatures during June, July, and August ranged upward to 110° at the S1;. 

Bernard weather station near Cullman in Cullman County on July 30.

Pumpage

At Foley, Baldwin County, observation well Bal-1 was correlated with pumpage fron the 

wells of the Riviera Utilities Company during 1952 (fig. 3). Normal municipal use at Folev averaged 5.5 million gallons per month. Maximum pumpage is usually during the potato wash'ng 

season in May and June, but during May the pumpage was only 9.6 million gallons as compared 

with 14.4 million gallons in June 1951. Pumpage records by the Selma Waterworks durinpc 1952 

show an average pumpage of 2 million gallons per day during the winter and a maximum of 3.5 

million per day during the summer months. The water level in the observation well in the Selma 

well field has been declining for the past 4 years (fig. 4). In the Montgomery area total p impage 

is recorded for each pumping station but no records are kept for individual wells. An average of 

5 to 10 mgd was pumped through the Day Street station during 1952. The Court Street strtion 

pumped an average of 5 mgd. Declining water levels in the Montgomery area prompted the detailed ground-water study to evaluate the present well fields and to collect data for locating new 

sources of supply.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations can be correlated with recharge or lack of recharge from rainfall, 

withdrawal by pumping, natural flows from springs and wells, barometric influence, surface 

loading, earth and ocean tides, and occasionally earthquakes. Rainfall is reflected in shallow 

water-table wells and springs by rising water levels or increased spring flows immediate1 y following precipitation and by decline in water levels during periods of no rainfall. In deep wells 

the effect of rainfall on the water level usually lags days or weeks after precipitation. Excessive 

decline in water level is being experienced in some sections of Alabama because of concentration 

of wells and the uncontrolled flow of wells in certain artesian basin areas. Many small communities and private well owners using water-table wells suffer water shortages during periods of 

prolonged drought. Graphs from recording gages on some artesian nonflowing wells show the 

barometric influence on water levels. The fluctuations are usually small, rarely exceeding 

0.1 foot in amplitude in a daily cycle. In the Guin and Huntsville areas, water-level fluct lations

have been correlated with earthquakes. Water levels in these wells of known sensitivity to earthquakes are correlated closely with notices of Preliminary Determination of Epicenter, published 

by the U. S. Department of Commerce.

Geologically, the State may be divided into the Piedmont and Paleozoic provinces, and the 

Coastal Plain (fig. 2). The Piedmont is characterized by metamorphic schist and gneiss injected 

by younger igneous rocks. Wells in the area yield generally less than iO, but rarely mo-e than 

50 gpm. Only about 10 percent of the municipalities in the Piedmont area use ground wa*er, but 

most of the private farm supplies are taken from wells and springs. In some areas, hovever, 

large quantities are developed from limestones, marbles, and dolomites. At Sylacauga, 

Talladega County, two industrial wells developed in the Sylacauga marble have reported yields 

of over 200 gpm.

In northern Alabama the sandstone, limestone, chert, and dolomite formations of Paleozoic 

age are important sources of ground water. Ground water occurring in these rocks alon? bedding 

planes, joints, fractures, and in solution channels, furnishes 60 percent of the municipal and 

industrial water supplies, and all private water supplies. In water-table well Cul-1 at Cullman, 

an index well on the Tennessee River-Warrior River drainage divide, the water level re'lects rainfall with pumpage during the cotton-oil season in the fall. The water level rose to the high for 

the year March 24 and then declined, fluctuating slightly, until it reached the low for the year 

August 6, after which it rose gradually. Total rainfall in the area was 6.62 inches below normal. 

Well Jac-1, at Scottsboro, reflects rainfall within a few hours. The highest water level for the 

year occurred January 9 and declined to the low for the year on August 15. This well was established as an index well by the TVA in the Scottsboro area of the Tennessee River drainage basin. 

In artesian well Mar-1 at Guin, fluctuations of the water level are mainly due to barometric 

influences and rainfall. On November 4, 1952 fluctuations were correlated with the Kamchatka 

earthquake. The highest water level was recorded on March 18 and the lowest on October 5. 

Barometric fluctuations, with an average amplitude of 0.08 foot, make a complete cycle every 

24 hours.

In the southern half of Alabama, in the Coastal Plain area, water-bearing sand, g-avel, 

and porous limestone are interbedded with chalk, marl, and impervious limestone. These gently 

south-dipping, water-bearing beds supply water for most municipal and industrial, and all private supplies in the area. Artesian wells, both flowing and nonflowing, are common and are 

utilized by many farmers, municipalities, and industries. Many of these wells have natural 

artesian flows and are allowed to flow unchecked whether in use or not. More and more flowing 

wells are being developed owing to simple construction and ease of operation, resulting in general 

declines of water level in some of the artesian basins. In addition to the flow of wells, concentrated pumping has caused a general decline in water level in some places. This has bren noted 

in Selma, Montgomery, Mobile, and possibly Dothan. In water-table wells Aut-1 at Jores and 

Dls-1 at Plantersville, water-level fluctuations can be correlated closely with rainfall. The 

highs occurred in January and March and the lows in November. These wells were established 

in cooperation with the Surface Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, as index wells in the 

Mulberry River drainage basin. Artesian well Bal-1, at Foley, is an index well in the Riviera 

Utilities Company well field. The water level fluctuates mainly with pumping in the well field 

and could not be closely correlated with rainfall. The level rose to the high in January and then 

declined, fluctuating slightly, to the low in December. Heavy pumping during May and June, the 

potato washing season in Baldwin County (fig. 3), usually causes low water levels, but in 1952 the 

pumpage was 4.8 million gallons less in May than in June of 1951. The hydrograph (fig. 3) shows 

a gradual declining water level since the beginning of the record in September 1949. Water levels 

in semiartesian well Bib-1, at Centerville, can be correlated closely with rainfall and to some 

extent with barometric fluctuations. The highest water level was recorded in March and the 

lowest in November. This well is an index well near the contact between the Coastal P ain and the 

Piedmont province. Rainfall and barometric influences are reflected in the water level in well 

Chi-3 within 24 hours after precipitation. High water levels occur in early spring and the lows 

in late fall. Chi-3 is an index well in sands and gravels of the Coastal Plain near their contact 

with igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont. Artesian well Dls-2 is an index well in the 

city of Selma well field. Water level in Dls-2 reflects the heavy pumping in the area. A hydrograph (fig. 4) shows the gradual declining water level in the area, and the relationship between 

water level, pumpage, and precipitation. Owing to changes in the rate of pumping, the high water 

levels occur in the winter and spring, decline to the lowest levels during July and August, and then 

begin to rise again in the fall. Artesian flowing well Gre-2 at Boligee showed little fluctuation 

during the year. The high level occurred in April and the lowest level was in July. TY is well is 

in the Tombigbee River artesian basin, an area of many flowing wells. Artesian well Gre-3 at 

Eutaw is an index well in the city of Eutaw well field. During the period of measurement the water 

level fluctuated from a low in November to a high in December with no major effect not°d from 

the pumping of the city wells.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are listed numerically within each county. The letters of the prefix are derived from 

the county names. For instance, well 1 in Monroe County is Mon-1, and well 1 in Montgomery 

County isMtg-1.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Florida is part of a cooperative investigation which 

began in some areas of the State as early as 1930. During 1952 these investigations were conducted in cooperation with the State Geological Survey; with Dade, Hillsborough, Manatee, 

PineLlas, and Seminole Counties; with the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District; 

and with the cities of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Miami Beach, and Pensacola. At the 

close of 1952 the observation-well program included 192 wells, 108 of which were equipped with 

recording gages. See figures 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. During 1952, reports on Fighlands County, 

Indian River County, the Naples area in Collier County, and the Ruskin area of Hillsborough 

County were prepared.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for the State was 48. 2 inches, which was 5.1 inches below normal. 

In most sections, precipitation was below normal for the year. Rainfall dirt.ribution with reference to the normal for the year is summarized in the following table.

Occurrence of Ground Water

The source of water for most cities, industries, farms, citrus groves, and rural homes in 

Florida north of Lake Okeechobee is from a highly productive and extensive aquifer consisting of 

the Ocala limestone and associated limestones of Eocene, Oligocene, and M'ocene ages. This 

aquifer is referred to as the Floridan aquifer. Over most of this area, the Floridan aquifer is 

overlain by a thick section of younger deposits including relatively impermeable beds which confine the water under artesian pressure. The water is under sufficient pressure to rise above 

the land surface over one-half the State, including a band about 20 miles wid° along the east 

coast, all the area south of Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee River valley, and other areas. In 

southern Florida, shallow aquifers supply most of the water used. At some places along the east 

coast south of Duval County, where the artesian water is too highly mineralised for general use, 

shallow aquifers also supply most of the water used. Escambia County, in vestern Florida, also 

uses the shallow aquifers principally. These aquifers are composed of limestone, sand, shell 

marl, and coquina, and range in age from Miocene to Pleistocene. Among them is the Biscayne 

aquifer in southeastern Florida, one of the most highly permeable aquifers it the world. 

Generally, however, the shallow aquifers are less permeable and less productive than the 

Floridan aquifer.

Pumpage

The average daily pumpage in the Miami well fields during 1952 was about 62 million 

gallons. Of this total, 7. 35 million gallons were pumped in the new southwest well field near 

G551. The heaviest pumpage occurred during June, when the daily average was about 69 million 

gallons. The average yearly water level for well S68 in the Miami Springs well field wa<5 

0.85 foot lower than that for well S19 on the outer edge of the field, which indicates the depth of 

the cone of depression caused by pumping. Two cones of depression of about equal size are 

formed in this well field. Well G3 is within one cone and well S68 is near the center of the other.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-table fluctuations in south Florida and the Kissimmee Valley area are closely 

related to rainfall. The distribution of rainfall during the year varies both in time and amount, 

but generally the highest precipitation occurs from May through October, and correspondingly 

this is the period of highest water levels. Average ground-water levels in south Florida during 

1952 were generally higher than in 1951, except in coastal areas of Palm Beach County, and in 

the northern part of the Kissimmee Valley where losses ranged from 0.05 foot to 1. 5 feet and 

were greatest in Dade and Highlands Counties, and the southern part of the Kissimmee Valley. 

The 1952 average water levels in Dade County ranged from the same to 0. 9 foot lower than the 

average for the period 1940-50. Average water levels in southeastern Florida during 1952 were 

0.4 foot to 1.6 feet higher than the minimum year of record (1945), except in coastal ar^as of 

Palm Beach County where average levels were the same to 1. 0 foot lower than in 1945. Figures 

10, 11, 12, and 13 show graphically the maximum, minimum, and mean average monthly water 

levels for the period of record prior to 1952, and the average monthly water levels for 1952 in 

selected wells in southern Florida.

Water levels in wells in western Florida were generally lower at the end of 1952 than at the 

end of 1951. Declines ranged from a fraction of a foot in Escambia County to as much ai 6. 8 feet 

in Okaloosa County. These declines were at least partly the result of below-normal pre-.ipitation. 

Leon County well 36 declined 5 feet during the year, primarily due to below-normal precipitation 

throughout the year in this and surrounding areas. The water level in Escambia County well 45 

continued its progressive decline during the year. It has declined more than 33 feet since 

records began in 1940, in response to pumping in the nearby well field of the Florida PuT n and 

Paper Company. The water level in Gulf County well 30, which is near the well field of the 

St. Joe Paper Company in Port St. Joe, rose slightly during the year, probably due to a reduction in pumpage accompanying development of a surface-water source for part of the plait water 

requirements.

Water levels in wells north of Polk County generally declined, with declines rangirg from 

negligible amounts in some parts of Lake County to as much as 4 feet in Pasco County, during 

the year. Most of these declines are believed to have been caused by the deficiency of p~ecipitation, especially during the last few months of the year. The water level in Orange County well 47 

responds quickly to local rainfall. The decline of over 3 feet of the water level in this well 

during the year reflects the below-normal rainfall occurring in the surrounding area. Water 

levels in the Jacksonville area of Duval County declined somewhat during the year; declines 

ranged from 0. 4 foot to as much as 2. 5 feet in some sections. Water levels in Nassau County 

fluctuated considerably during the year, probably as a result of changes in the rate of pumping. 

No general decline took place in Nassau County, however. Elsewhere in the State, water levels 

declined generally, with declines ranging from a fraction of a foot to as much as 3 feet i-i certain 

areas. These declines were caused, in the main, by below-normal precipitation over the greater 

part of the State.

Acknowledgments

The water-level measurements for Leon County well 5 were furnished by the city of 

Tallahassee. Measurements for well S196, in Homestead, were made by personnel of the University of Florida Sub-Tropical Experiment Station.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in Florida are generally numbered consecutively by counties. Exceptions to this are wells having numbers with a letter prefix or suffix. In Broward and Dale 

Counties, the letter prefixes G, S, and F, denote U. S. Geological Survey wells, supply wells, 

and fire wells, respectively. In Polk, Orange, and Escambia Counties, a letter suffix denotes 

a shallow well near a deeper well having the corresponding number of the shallow well.

GEORGIA

By R. L. Wait and S. M. Herrick

Scope of Water-Level Program

Tha observation-well program in Georgia, begun in 1938, in cooperation with the Stat? 

Department of Mines, Mining and Geology, was continued in 1952. In 1938 the program covered 

three counties - Chatham, Dougherty, and Glynn. In 1952 it included 27 counties, 6 of which are 

in the northern part of the State. In 1952 recording gages were maintained on 4 wells durin? the 

entire year. Figures 14, 15, and 16 show the location of observation wells. The publicaticn of 

data for observation wells for which measurements have been published in previous annual waterlevel reports and for which no measurements appear in this report has been discontinued in the 

annual water-level reports. They may be published in project reports or special reports from 

time to time.

Precipitation

In northern Georgia precipitation was spotty in 1952 - below normal in some areas and 

normal in others. Accordingly, water-table wells in this part of Georgia showed varying water 

levels at the close of 1952 as compared with December 1951 levels. Rainfall on the Coasta' 

Plain was uniformly below normal during 1952. Consequently, water levels in water-table wells 

in southern Georgia were lower during 1952 as compared with 1951. With the exception of wells 

situated in recharge areas, artesian wells are not immediately affected by annual precipitation.

Pumpage

In coastal Georgia there are three areas in which water levels are notably affected by 

heavy pumping - Savannah, Brunswick, and St. Marys. Only in Savannah was an increase in 

annual withdrawal of ground water during 1952 recorded, the other two areas showing substantial 

decreases. In 1952 the total metered pumpage of the Savannah area, which is the combined1 

pumpage of the Savannah municipal waterworks and the Union Bag and Paper Corporation, increased 2,212 acre-feet as compared with 1951. in Brunswick, total metered pumpage, which is 

the combined pumpage of the Peoples Water Servi ce Company, Brunswick Pulp and Paper 

Company, and the Hercules Powder Company, decreased 3,116 acre-feet as compared with 1951. 

In the St. Marys area, metered pumpage by the St. Marys Kraft Corporation decreased 1,227 

acre-feet as compared with 1951.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In northern Georgia, where water-table conditions prevail, water levels fluctuate fro*n 

season to season with the precipitation. The water table stands highest in the months of April 

and May, when precipitation is greatest, and lowest in December and January, when precipitation is least. The range and frequency of the fluctuations also differ from well to well, the 

proximity of a well to a main drainage channel and its position in relation to the topography of the 

surrounding country determines, in large measure, the fluctuations of its water level. Year-end 

water levels in northern Georgia were variable owing to local variations in rainfall. Variations 

in water levels ranged from a maximum increase of 2.67 feet to a maximum decrease of 

4.24 feet. Spalding County well 12, at the Georgia State Experiment Station, is a dug well, 

31 feet deep. The year-end water level in this well was 0.68 foot higher in 1952 as compared 

with the corresponding water level in 1951. Normal rainfall during 1952 is doubtless the reason 

for this increase.

In the Coastal Plain, water levels at the close of 1952 were uniformly lower than dur'ng 

the previous December. In Savannah, the average decline for the industrial area as a whole was 

2.89 feet. On Wilmington and Tybee Islands the average year-end decline during 1952 amounted 

to 0. 58 foot. In the southern part of Chatham County, December water levels showed an average 

decline of 1. 02 feet. In the northern and northwestern parts of this county year-end levels had 

declined approximately 1.74 and 1.23 feet, respectively. Increased pumping in the industrial 

area of Savannah is believed to be the cause of decreased water levels in wells situated in 

Chatham County. In the remainder of the Coastal Plain, observation wells showed uniform'y 

lower year-end water levels. In Bryan and Liberty Counties, December water levels averaged

GEORGIA, BAKER COUNTY 113

1.12 feet and 0.85 foot, respectively, lower in 1952 as compared with 1951. In Mclntosh, Glynn, 

and Camden Counties, average year-end water levels were down 0.76 foot, 0.72 foot, and 

1.32 feet, respectively, as compared with December 1951. Glynn County well 3, in the city of 

Brunswick, showed an average decline of only 0. 21 foot, as compared with 1951. As notec1 above, 

heavy industrial pumpage substantially declined during 1952 in both the Brunswick and St. Marys 

areas. It is believed, therefore, that the decline in water levels for Bryan, Liberty, Mclrtosh, 

Glynn, and Camden Counties was due to natural causes. Water levels in Appling, Braitley, 

Bulloch, Charlton, Effingham, Evans, Pierce, Screven, Ware, and Wayne Counties were lower 

in 1952 as compared with 1951, ranging from 0.15 foot to 1. 5 feet lower. All these counties are 

outside areas of heavy pumping and declines are believed to be normal considering present conditions. The average year-end water level for Chatham County well 343, showed a decline of 

5. 56 feet in 1952 as compared with 1951, the result of decreased precipitation during 1952, The 

average water level in Baker County well 25 was down 1. 69 feet in 1952 as compared with the 

average water level in 1951. Decreased precipitation during 1952 is believed to be the reason 

for the decline in water level.

Acknowledgments

Measurements for Baker County well 25 were made by Emory University Field Station as 

part of the hydrologic data collected in connection with its research on malaria control. Measurements for Chatham County well 46 were furnished through courtesy of Union Bag and Paper 

Corporation. Measurements in Chatham County well 343 were made by the U. S. Plant Introduction Station, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The statewide observation-well program, begun in 1949, was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the State Agricultural and Industrial Development Board. The water-level program at 

Louisville, begun in 1943, in cooperation with Jefferson County and the city cf Louisville, has 

been made a part of the State program. The water-level program is a part of a comprehensive 

investigation of the ground-water resources of the State. This program includes reconnaissance 

surveys of the major physiographic units of the State (see fig. 17), development of a network of 

observation wells, and continuation of detailed investigations in the Paintsvill?, Prestonsburg, 

Henderson, Hopkinsville, Covington, Paducah, Scottsville, and Louisville areas. During 1952, 

measurements were made in 43 wells, and recording gages were maintained on 34 wells. (See 

figs. 17 and 18.) Data for observation wells operated in connection with detailed area investigations are not included in this report, but will be published in hydrograph form in the project 

reports. Project reports on the Paintsville area and the Covington area were prepared during 

the year and transmitted to Washington for review and approval.

Pre c ipi tation

Climatologically, 1952 in Kentucky was characterized by higher than average temperatures 

and deficient rainfall. A very hot summer was accompanied by a statewide drought which began 

in June. The first general rains to break the drought occurred during the third week of November. 

According to the records of the United States Weather Bureau, for the State as a whole, precipitation of 41. 44 inches during the year was 4. 32 inches below the 64-year average; for the Louisville 

area, the total of 35. 44 inches was 7. 82 inches less than normal. During the 8-month period 

April through November, rainfall for each month was below average and of irregular areal 

distribution. The statewide precipitation during these 8 months was 6.72 inches less than average 

For the same period rainfall in the Louisville area was 10. 54 inches below normal.

Pumpage

Total pumpage of ground water in the Louisville area during 1952 was 30. 5 million gallons 

per day, of which 1. 5 million gallons per day were returned through recharge wells. The net 

withdrawal of 29. 0 million gallons per day was about 9 percent less than that cf 1951. This entire 

reduction may be attributed to decreased demands by two major industries. Natural recharge was 

short of the net withdrawal by nearly 2 million gallons per day. Figure 19 shews pumpage since 

1937 and natural recharge since 1943. It also shows the increased pumpage during 1941-43 

resulting from the rapid expansion of industry during the war. Conservation measures, including 

artificial recharge, redesign of equipment, recirculation, installation of cooling towers, and use 

of city water, resulted in reduced use of ground water in 1944 and 1945. Following the war, a 

sewer tax based on water use resulted in additional conservation measures. This illustration 

shows large withdrawals from storage in 1943 and 1944. The excess of recharge over pumpage 

in 1945 was primarily the result of a major flood of the Ohio River which caused an abnormally 

large infiltration of river water. Since 1945 pumpage and natural recharge have been nearly in 

balance except in 1950 when recharge from rainfall was considerably above normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels, which are a measure of changes in ground-water storage, are indicative of 

the manner in which an aquifer is recharged or discharged. Water levels reflect natural recharge 

from vertical infiltration of rainfall on the local area and from horizontal flow through the aquifer 

of water which has entered at higher altitudes; they show gains from and losses to bodies of 

surface water and losses through springs; they respond to pumping and to artifoial recharging. 

Barometric and earth-shock effects on water levels may be detected by the use of recording gages. 

Figure 20 shows the hydrographs of five wells in the State which are typical of various areas. 

All the wells are outside heavily pumped areas. These graphs, although showing a variety of 

conditions, have a common seasonal cycle. During the growing season, soil rroisture is depleted. 

Rainfall is retained by the soil and little recharge is available for ground-water replenishment. 

During this period natural seepage to streams exceeds recharge and water levels fall. After

frost, evaporation and transpiration become small, soil moisture deficiency is soon satisfied, 

and recharge takes place. Through the winter months recharge exceeds natural discharge and 

water levels rise. Well 8245-3745-404, Johnson County, in a valley bottom, is in the Freathitt 

formation and is typical of wells in the sandstones of the Eastern Coal Field. In the 

Mississippian Plateau, well 8725-3650-74, Christian County, is a water-table well in the Ste. 

Genevieve limestone. The existence of many sinks throughout the region tends to make the water 

table sensitive to the effects of local rainfall. The flat portion of the hydrograph in the latter 

part of 1952 corresponds with drought conditions and is in sharp contrast with the rapid rises and 

falls during the summer of 1950, a very wet year. Well 8730-3750-143, Henderson County, in 

the sandstone and shale of Carbondale formation is an artesian well typical of those in the 

Western Coal Field. It is probable that this formation has some degree of hydraulic connection 

with the overlying glacial sands and gravels. The hydrograph shows a greater range of fluctuation than those of the other four wells. Wells 8815-3635-6, Galloway County, and 8835-3650-17, 

Graves County, are artesian wells in the Jackson Purchase. The first, in the sand of Fipley 

formation, and the second, in the Holly Springs sand member of Claiborne group, are representative wells in the two principal aquifers of this region. In the hydrograph of well 8815-3335-6 the 

seasonal fluctuations due to effects of rainfall are superimposed on a long-term recovery or on a 

general rise due to higher than average rainfall during the period 1948-51.

Hydrographs of seven wells in the glacial outwash sands and gravels along the Oh'o River 

flood plain are given in figure 21. The similarity of comparable hydrographs is apparent. Wells 

8235-3825-1, Boyd County; 8430-3905-15, Kenton County; 41-16-3, Jefferson County; and 

8705-3745-4, Daviess County, are near the river and their hydrographs show the effects of river 

floods. In wells 8430-3900-103, Kenton County; 50-10-2, Jefferson County; and 8720-3750-152, 

Henderson County, seasonal cycles of the hydrographs reflect the normal effects of rainfall. The 

wells in Kenton and Daviess Counties are affected by nearby pumping while the wells in Boyd, 

Jefferson, and Henderson Counties are in unpumped areas.

Louisville area. --In the Louisville area water levels have responded to several influences 

during 1952. The relatively low-production schedules of distillers, large water demands in the 

Rubber-town area, and the effects of several abnormally hot and dry months were the cl fef factors 

contributing to ground-water conditions. Gains in storage which occurred in some areas were 

more than offset by losses in other areas. Changes of water levels for the year ranged from an 

11-foot decline in an observation well close to the river southwest of the city to a gain of 11 feet 

in a well in the south distillery area. Estimated loss of ground-water storage of nearly 2 million 

gallons per day represents an average decline of the water table of 0.5 foot. In figure 22, the 

graph of well 50-10-2 is typical of those for the unpumped area southwest of the city. The downward trend at the end of 1952 ended a 2-year period of record-high levels which reflected the wet 

years of 1950 and 1951. In the downtown area of Louisville (east of meridian 85°46' ard north of 

parallel 38° 13') there was no appreciable net change of water levels during the year. The graph 

of well 45-15-36, representative of the area, for 1952 was virtually a repetition of the graph for 

1951. After the 1937 flood, water levels persisted in a downward trend until the low of record in 

August of 1949; since then the trend has remained fairly level, reflecting the above-normal recharge from rainfall in 1950 and 1951 and decreased usage because of the sewer tax. In the 

central industrial area (west of meridian 85°46' and north of parallel 38°13') the avera-re water 

level dropped about 0.2 foot during the year. Pumpage was practically the same as in 1951. 

Figure 23 shows the graph of well 46-14-1 as representative of the area, and also a graph of the 

pumpage since 1943. The gradual improvement of the water table in this area the preceding 4 

years was associated with a corresponding decrease of pumpage and greater than noriral precipitation. In the distillery area south of Louisville, the water level rose an average of 0.3 foot 

during 1952 while the pumpage was reduced to about one-half that of 1951. Figure 24 shows the 

graph of well 47-12-1 as typical of this area. Water level in this well in 1952 was the highest 

since 1942. In the Rubbertown area southwest of the city, the water table declined an average of 

1.5 feet during 1952 which was the third successive year in which the area has sustained a loss of 

ground-water storage. In the northern part of the area nearly all the year-end water levels were 

the lowest since 1945. In general, the post-war recovery of water levels in the Rubber-town area 

reached a maximum in 1948 and 1949. Since that time the levels have returned about halfway to 

the critical lows of 1944. Figure 25 shows the graph of well 49-13-24 as typical of the area; it 

also shows a graph of pumpage since 1942. Pumpage for 1952 was the same as in 1951 and about 

60 percent as great as in 1944. A map of the Louisville area showing contours of water level in 

December 1952 is given in figure 26. A double depression is shown in the Rubbertown area with 

slight depressions in the distillery section and central part of the city. Contours indicate 

infiltration from the river northeast and southwest of the city with flow gravitating toward the 

depressions. In the extreme southwest contours of higher than 383 elevation indicate a flow 

toward the river. Figure 27 shows changes of water level during the 4-year period, F?cember 

1948 to December 1952. The shaded portion in Rubbertown area shows losses greater than 

5 feet, denoting the effect of sustained heavy pumping. The hatched areas in the central and south 

sections indicate gains of more than 5 feet, denoting the effects of decreased pumpage and greater 

than normal precipitation during the 4 years.

Well-Numbe ring System

Excepting the Louisville area in Jefferson County, the State has been divided into quadrangles formed by the 5-minute meridians and parallels. Wells inventoried in each of the 

quadrangles are numbered beginning with 1. Wells are designated by a composite of three 

numbers; the first indicates the degrees and minutes of longitude, the second the degrees and 

minutes of latitude, and the third the number of the well in that quadrangle. Thus, well 

8715-3650-1 is the first well inventoried in the 5-minute quadrangle west of 87°15' longitude and 

north of 36°50' latitude. A similar numbering system is used for wells in the Louisville area, 

which lies between longitude 85° and 86° and between latitude 38° and 39°, except that the quadrangles are bounded by 1-minute meridians and parallels. The well designation omits the 

degrees, using only minutes of longitude and latitude. Thus, well 45-14-2 is the second well 

inventoried in the 1-minute quadrangle west of 85°45' longitude and north of 38° 14' latitude. 

Location of wells in the Louisville area included in the water-level report are shown on figure 18.

h Tape measurement.
MARYLAND

By Claire A. Richardson

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

the State Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. Measurements were made in 83 

observation wells: 11 in the Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces, 16 in the Piedmont province, and 56 in that part of the Coastal Plain province west of Chesapeake Bay. 

Continuous recording gages were maintained throughout the year on 8 wells, and for part of the 

year on 1 other well. Figure 28 shows location of observation wells.

P recipitation

The annual precipitation in Maryland in 1952 was 51. 35 inches, which was 9. 30 inches 

above normal. It was fairly well distributed throughout the year except during April when precipitation amounted to 3. 36 inches above normal, and in November when it was- 3.45 inches above 

normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces. --Most of the wa*er levels in wells in 

this area showed a net decline for the year, the average net decline being 2.20 feet. The net 

decline in water level in one well amounted to 9. 89 feet. Record highs were reached in 4 wells, 

and record lows were reached in 2 wells. Most highs occurred in April anc1 May, and most lows 

occurred in November.

Piedmont province. --The fluctuations of water levels in most of the wells showed a net rise 

for the year, the average net rise being 1.98 feet. The net rise in one well amounted to more than 

14 feet. Water levels in 6 wells reached record highs during the year; record lows were reached 

in 3 wells. Most highs occurred in April and May, and most lows occurred in October and 

November.

Coastal Plain province (western part). --Most wells in this area showed a slight net decline 

in water level, the average being 0. 69 foot. The net decline in one well amounted to 7.44 feet. 

Ten wells had record high water levels during the year, and five had recorc1 lows. Most high 

water levels occurred in April and May, and most lows occurred in September and October.

Baltimore industrial area. There are two principal ground-water reservoirs in the Baltimore industrial area, the Patapsco and Patuxent formations. Most of the water levels in wells in 

the Patuxent formation showed a net decline for the year, the average net decline being 1. 33 feet. 

The net decline in one well was 10. 29 feet, but one well showed a net rise of 12. 08 feet. Water 

levels in wells in the Patapsco formation showed an average net decline of T, 16 feet. One well 

showed a net decline of 5.42 feet and one well showed a net rise of 0. 57 foof.

Well-Numbering System

All wells outside of Baltimore City are grouped by counties. Each county is divided into 

5-minute quadrants. Each quadrant from north to south is designated by uppercase letters and 

from west to east by lowercase letters. The wells are numbered in each 5-minute quadrant in 

the. order in which they are inventoried. Well Bal-Gf 51 would indicate that the well is in Baltimore County, in the seventh tier of 'S-minute quadrants from the top (north) of the county map, 

and in the sixth tier of 5-minute quadrants from the left (west) edge of the n-ap. The number 51 

indicates the number of the well in that particular quadrant. A different well-numbering system 

is used for wells within Baltimore. All wells within the city limits of Baltimore are referred to 

mile squares which are in turn referred to the Washington Monument, which is near the center of 

the city. Thus well 2S3E-9 is in the square mile that is 2 miles south and 3 miles east of the 

Washington Monument and the number 9 indicates that it was the ninth well recorded in that square.

EASTERN SHORE

By D. H. Boggess and W. C. Rasmussen

Scope of Water-Level Program

The program of ground-water investigations of the Eastern Shore, beg-in in 1949, in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, was continued in 

1952. The observation-well program, prior to the establishment of the field office at Salisbury 

in 1949, included measurement of 12 wells in Dorchester, Kent, and Wicomico Counties. In 

1952, measurements were made in 35 wells, 5 of which were equipped with recording gages. 

Figure 29 shows the location of the observation wells in the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Four 

artesian wells--Dor-Ce 22, in sand of Jackson age, depth 370 feet; Dor-Dd 6, depth 375 feet; 

Som-Be*42, in sand of Miocene age, depth 184 feet; and Tal-Ed 6, depth 327 feet, were added to 

the observation-well program in 1952. Well Wi-Bd 33 was selected as an observation well from 

a group of 32 infiltration study wells, as most nearly following the average water-table fluctuations in the Rewastico watershed.

The decline of water levels in the Cambridge area in relation to pumpage is discussed in a 

paper entitled/'Yield of ground-water reservoirs calculated by geo-mathenatical analogy," by 

W. C. Rasmussen, published in the Proceedings of the Twenty-fifth Annual Conference of the 

Maryland-Delaware Water and Sewage Association. The decline of water levels in the West 

Denton area in relation to pumpage is discussed in a memorandum released to open file during 

1952.

Precipitation

The mean annual precipitation for 1952 computed from U. S. Weather Bureau records for 

15 stations in the Eastern Shore was 49.49 inches. This is 6. 27 inches mor3 than the average 

precipitation for an average of 37 years of measurement. Precipitation and departure from normal in 1951 are shown in the following table:

Cambridge "400-foot" aquifer: Jan. 1.95; Feb. 2. 00; Mar. 1. 96; Apr. 2.13; May 2.35; 

June 3.40; July 3.11; Aug. 3.14; Sept. 3.91; Oct. 3.16; Nov. 2:68; Dec. 2.24.

Aug. 3. 52; Sept. 2. 61; Oct. 2.15; Nov. 1.94; Dec. 1.93.

Estimated pumpage from the West Denton "90- to 140-foot" aquifer: 210, 000 gallons a day 

January through March; 400, 000 gallons a day April through December.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Monthly averages of water levels in 14 water-table wells selected for rreal representation 

and length of record showed an average rise in water level of 0. 78 foot during January. A decline 

in water level of 0.33 foot in February was the result of normal ground-water depletion when recharge by precipitation was below normal. From March 1 to May 1, the average water level rose 

0.65 foot to the highest point of 39 months of record. From May 1 to August 1, the average water 

level declined 3. 81 feet. This'recession was caused principally by the high evapotranspiration

rate in that period. During August, the average water level rose 1.07 feet ir response to precipitation 2.20 inches above normal. Evapotranspiration during August was prolibly somewhat below 

normal because of the number of cloudy days. From September 1 to November 1, the average 

water level declined 0. 34 foot. The average water level rose 2.33 feet from November 1 to December 31, when recharge to the water table by precipitation was above nornal.

Water levels in water-table wells Care-Cd 1, Care-Fd 4, QA-Ec 1, Dcr-Cd 16, Dor-Cg 1, 

Dor-Fd 1, Som-Cf 2, and Tal-De 1, were within 1 foot of land-surface datum for all or part of 

the period January 1 to May 1. The high water levels recorded in these well" were probably due 

to a sustained high rate of recharge from precipitation. Precipitation from I'ovember 1, 1952, 

when a general rise in water levels began, to April 1, 1953 was 9.46 inches above normal. The 

high ground-water levels occurred over a period of low evapotranspiration; thus the ground-water 

table lost only a relatively small amount of water to the atmosphere during tli at time.

The water level in water-table wells QA-Be 1 and Som-Be 1 was above land-surface datum 

for all or part of the year. QA-Be 1 is a driven well on the side of a small d.~aw about 20 feet 

above sea level. The divide in this drainage basin, between 0. 5 and 0. 7 mile from the well, is 

about 50 feet above sea level, or 30 feet above the ground level at the well. This well was flowing at low head, 1 foot above the land surface, from January to May 1952. The water in Som-Be 1 

rose above land surface for the period January to April but did not flow. The well is in the 

Pamlico terrace plain at an elevation of about 18 feet above sea level, with IOT relief around it. 

The highest land is a low ridge about 0.2 mile east of the well, with a crest elevation of about 

25 feet above sea level.

This ridge appears to be the southeasterly rim of "Carolina Bay, " as determined from 

aerial photographs. The observation well is within the bay, and the positive head observed in the 

well may be a contributing fact to the theories of origin of these controversial topographic forms. 

One explanation is that leakage from underlying artesian aquifers of Miocene age has contributed 

to the sapping and development of the depressions. This positive head suggests such upward leakage.

Water-table well Care-Be 1 showed a decline of 3. 5 feet in water level during January and 

February, when a nearby network of farm drainage ditches was being deepene-J and widened. The 

well is about 26 feet from the nearest ditch. The ditch grade is about 4 feet b?low the land surface of the well, or about 0. 5 foot below the average water level in the well. The water level in 

this well has shown a seasonal fluctuation during 1952, averaging 2 feet lower than fluctuations 

for 1950-51. The lowering of the water table at this well illustrates the effectiveness of the 

drainage.

The "400-foot" artesian aquifer at Cambridge is the most heavily pumpel aquifer in the 

Cambridge area. Water-level records are maintained on five wells to this aquifer (Dor-Bd 2, 

Dor-Ce 22, Dor-Dd 6, Dor-Ed 1, and Tal-Ed 6). Well Dor-Bd 2 showed a rise of 11 feet in 

water level from January 1 to May 6 during a period when pumpage from the Cambridge well 

field averaged 2 million gallons a day. From May 6 to September 20, the wat3r level was lowered 

20 feet, apparently in response to an increase in pumpage to an average of 3. 2 million gallons a 

day. From September 20 to December 31, the water level rose 13 feet in evidence of continued 

recharge during a period of a lower average pumping rate of 2.7 million gallons a day. Well 

Dor-Bd 2 also shows a water-level fluctuation in response to the loading and u-rloading on the 

aquifer of the ocean tides. Well Dor-Dd 6, about 7 miles southwest of the center of pumping of 

the well field at Cambridge, showed a rise in water level of 0. 65 foot from the time of the first 

measurement on April 17 to June 2. From June 2 to December 1, the water level 

dropped 5.10 feet. The drop in water level is attributed to pumping of this aquifer at Cambridge. 

The water level recovered 0. 89 foot by December 31. Well Dor-Ed 1, about 15 miles south of the 

Cambridge central cone of depression has shown a drawdown trend in water le*'el over the 2-year 

period of record, possibly as a combined result of the distant pumping at Cambridge and local 

pumping of cannery well, Dor-Ed 2, about 1. 5 miles southeast. Well Tal-Ed 6, about 6 miles 

north of the center of pumping at Cambridge, showed a rising water level during April, when 

measurements were started. From April 29 to December 1, the water level i~i this well declined 

7. 5 feet. This decline in water level is attributed mainly to the pumping at Cambridge, but may 

have been caused in part by pumping at Trappe, 3. 4 miles east of the observation well.

The following table is a comparison of water levels in approximate depth below mean sea 

level for the well near Church Creek, 7 miles southwest of the center of pump.'ng at Cambridge, 

with water levels in another well,6 miles north-northwest of the center:

The water level in well Tal-Ed 6, 1 mile nearer to the center of pumping, is actually between 10 and 12 feet higher than the water level at Church Creek. On a symmetrical cone of 

depression, the water levels should be lower at closer distances to the center of pumpin?. These 

water-level records accord with those reported by well drillers in numerous wells drilled to this 

aquifer during the last 2 years. The water levels give general definition to an asymmetrical cone 

of depression, with higher water levels northwesterly from Cambridge and lower water levels 

southerly from Cambridge, for equal radial distances from the center of pumping. Several interpretations are possible from these records. The most likely is that recharge is coming from 

the belt of outcrop of sedi ments of Eocene age in the vicinity of Annapolis, about 40 miles northwest of Cambridge. A second possibility is that there may be leakage through the overlying confining beds of Miocene age, which are chiefly diatomaceous silts. The aquifer rises to the northwest of Cambridge where there is a thinner blanket of confining materials. A third possibility 

is that an impermeable boundary exists to the southeast of Cambridge, or there is a general decrease in transmissibility and storage in that direction. Finally, but less likely, there may be 

subterranean discharge to the southeast.

Well Care-Dc 56, in the "90- to 140-foot" aquifer at West Denton, showed a rise of 7. 8 

feet in water level during January and February, probably due to a reduced rate of pumping at the 

chicken-processing plant, chief user of water from this aquifer. From March, when a new well 

at the plant began pumping, until September 23, the water level showed a decline of 22 f^et. 

From September 23 to December 31, the water level recovered 5.7 feet, but was still 8 5 feet 

below the measurement of December 29, .1951.

Well Wi-Ce 13, a water-table well in the city well field at Salisbury, showed a rise of 

2.7 feet in water level from January 1 to April 30, probably due to recharge to the wate- table 

by precipitation and, a lower average pumping rate of 1.94 million gallons a day from the well 

field. From May 1 to August 1, the water level in this well declined about 3.2 feet when pumpage 

from the well field averaged 3.37 million gallons a day and precipitation was 3.44 inches below 

normal. During August, the water level in well Wi-Ce 13 showed a gradual rise when recharge 

to the water table by precipitation 5.47 inches above normal more than compensated for pumpage 

averaging 3. 52 million gallons a day. The water level continued to rise throughout September 

and October, when pumpage was reduced to an average of 2.38 million gallons a day. Tie water 

level remained static in the first half of November when pumping was at a minimum because of 

repair work, but declined gradually when pumping was resumed.

Well-Numbering System

The numbers assigned to the observation wells on the Eastern Shore indicate their approximate location. The wells are first grouped by counties and each county is subdivided into 

5-minute quadrangles, formed by lines of longitude and latitude. The wells are numbered consecutively in each quadrangle. For example, Care-Dc 56: "Care" denotes Caroline Co-rnty; "D" 

indicates the fourth quadrangle from the top (north) of the county map; and "c" indicates the third 

quadrangle from the left side (west) of the map.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All water-level measurements are in feet below land-surface datum unless otherwise indicated , except Wi-Cf 3 and Wi-Ce 105, which are in feet above mean sea level. 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 of each nrxed 

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

NORTH CAROLINA

By H. E. LeGrand

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, begun in 1931, was continued in 1952. This program is a 

part of the investigations of the ground-water resources being conducted in cooperation with the 

North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. Water-level measurements were 

made in 42 observation wells. The wells are conveniently spaced to reveal the general waterlevel fluctuations throughout the State. Figure 30 shows location of observation wells.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The Coastal Plain, representing the eastern two-fifths of the State, is one of two major 

ground-water provinces in North Carolina. It is underlain by beds of unconsolidated and semiconsolidated sands, clays, and limestones that dip gently toward the coast. The dips of the beds 

on the Coastal Plain are slightly greater than the slope of the land surface so tha* artesian water 

occurs in the sands and limestones that are buried beneath surficial sands and clays. Some of the 

observation wells penetrate these artesian aquifers and others penetrate surficia1 sands in which 

water-table conditions exist. The other major ground-water province represents the Piedmont and 

Mountain sections, occupying the western three-fifths of the State. It is underlain by various 

igneous and metamorphic rocks. Ground water occurs in the clayey weathered rock that mantles 

the surface almost everywhere and in the fractures in the underlying bedrock; although water 

occurs in two contrasting types of material, it is under water-table conditions in both cases. AH 

the observation wells in the Piedmont and Mountain provinces end in the clayey weathered material.

In North Carolina a relationship exists between water levels and precipitation, but this relationship is not a simple one because factors other than precipitation affect the vater levels. 

Most of the wells, except as noted otherwise, are far removed from pumping wells, and consequently the changes in their water levels are due to natural causes. It should be emphasized that 

withdrawal of ground water has had no widespread effect on the regional water levels; this is due 

either to the low water-yielding capacity of some of the deposits or to the great d ; «roersion in 

population and consequent withdrawal of water, or to a combination of these facto-s. The water 

levels measured are chiefly those- of the water table but some represent the piezometric surface 

expressing the artesian water level. Water-table wells in'the Coastal Plain gene-ally respond 

much more quickly to rainfall than wells in the Piedmont, because the water table is generally 

closer to the surface and the surficial deposits are more permeable in the Coasta' Plain. With 

normal precipitation, the cycle of water-table fluctuations begins with a gradual rise starting, 

usually in December or January. The level generally continues to rise until Apri' or May after 

which it begins to decline. The decline continues, interrupted only by rises of short duration 

caused by summer rainstorms, until the following December or January. The water table rises 

in late winter and spring because very little water is lost by evaporation or is use^ by vegetation, 

so that a relatively large part of the precipitation reaches the water table. Althorfijh the amount 

of rainfall is larger during the summer months because little or no rainfall reaches the water 

table, the amount used by vegetation and evaporation is large. The range in wate- level in the 

artesian aquifers is generally slight except near areas of recharge and near arear where water is 

pumped from the same aquifer. Well 13, Hertford County, for example, is remotely spaced from 

pumping and from recharge to the aquifer which it penetrates and, consequently, expresses a water level which fluctuated only 0. 48 foot between December 1950 and December 19"2.

In 1952 the average rainfall at all Weather Bureau stations in the State was 49. 46 inches, 

only 0. 01 inch below normal. The unseasonably dry and hot weather in June and J"ly resulted in 

below-average water levels until autumn. However, by the end of December the water level in 

most wells had risen appreciably. In fact, of all water-table wells measured throughout the year, 

the water levels in 22 were higher and in 6 lov/er at the end than at the beginning of the year; of 

the artesian wells, the water levels in 9 were higher and in 4 lower at the end thar at the beginning 

of the year.

Well-Numbering System

The wells are numbered by counties, although the numbers are not related to any system of 

location within the counties.

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 p'ns (+) 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.

SOUTH CAROLINA

By George E. Siple

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1952 as part of the cooperative agreement 

for ground-water investigations, begun in 1946, with the South Carolina Research, Planning and 

Development Board. Measurements were made in 17 wells in the Coastal Plair. Figure 31 

gives the location of the observation wells in this report.

Precipitation

Temperatures were slightly above normal and precipitation slightly below normal during 

1952. Precipitation averaged 46.60 inches (0.86 inch below normal). Ordinarily, rainfall is 

greatest during July and least during November. In 1952, rainfall was above normal for March 

and August. In January rainfall was about 27 percent below normal. Rainfall averaged about 11 

percent above normal in February. In March rains were unusually heavy, averaging about 83 

percent above normal. Rainfall averaged slightly above normal in April and Miy. 1952 had the 

driest July since 1887 when records were begun. The severe drought was broken early in August 

by substantial rains. There were moderate rises in the rivers while ponds and reservoirs were 

being replenished. In September rainfall was about 17 percent below normal. Rainfall averaged 

36 percent of normal in October 1952, the lowest average for October since 1943. In November 

rainfall was about 12 percent below normal. Rainfall was about 8 percent belov normal in 

December. Storage in major reservoirs decreased, and at the end of the month was generally 

about the lowest of record.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Coastal Plain deposits (sands, gravels, clays, and limestones of Upper Cretaceous to 

Recent age) crop out in the lower part of the State in a belt having a northeast-southwest strike 

and a dip to the south-southeast. Most of the larger wells, with the exception o* those in the 

limestones of Tertiary age, obtain water from artesian aquifers. The water-taMe wells, in 

general, show fluctuations which are correlative with rainfall in the immediate areas. Figure 

32 illustrates this correlation with data obtained from Sumter County well 1. T'le water level for 

August shows an apparent disconformity with rainfall because the measurement was obtained 

prior to heavy rainfall on the last day of the month. The smallest range during the year was indicated in Berkeley well 1. The largest occurred in Barnwell 1, which is influenced by nearby 

pumping. New minimum water levels were recorded from nine of the observation wells in 1952.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are arranged alphabetically by county and serially within the county.

TENNESSEE

By C. R. Lanphere and E. M. Gushing

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Tennessee was continued in 1952. The program in 

Memphis, begun in 1940, was carried on in cooperation with the Memphis Light, Gas and Water 

Division. The programs in west Tennessee, begun in 1947, and in central and east Tennessee, 

begun in 1949, are a part of the investigation of the ground-water resources of the State and are 

carried on in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Conservation, Division of Geology. 

Measurements were made in 56 wells, 30 of which were equipped with recording gages. Figures 

33 and 34 show the location of observation wells. A report covering a reconnaissance study of 

the ground-water resources of 28 counties in east Tennessee was prepared during the year. Also 

a report was prepared on the ground-water resources of the Central Basin of Tennessee.

Precipitation

The following table gives the annual precipitation and the departure from normal at Moscow, 

Brownsville, Milan, and Martin. These stations were selected because they are in the Tertiary 

outcrop belt of west Tennessee. Most of the municipal and industrial water supplies of west 

Tennessee are obtained from sands of Tertiary age.

TENNESSEE, BRADLEY COUNTY 223

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

There was a general decline of water levels in wells screened in the "500-foot" sand it the 

"-mphis area during 1952. This fact can be attributed primarily to increased pumpage. The 

a"erage daily pumpage from the "500-foot" sand, during the months of June, July, and August, 

was about 15, 10, and 5 million gallons more than the quantities pumped for the same three 

months of 1951. Based upon measurements made in 32 wells screened in this sand, water levels 

r-nged from about 0.5 foot to about 12 feet lower than the lowest levels of 1951; the average 

decline in water level was 4.6 feet. The greatest lowering occurred in the area of the new 

Thomas H. Alien pumping station and well field in south Memphis. Based upon the measurements 

made in six observation wells in or near the new station, the average lowering of the water level 

was about 9 feet. Figure 35 shows the fluctuations of water levels in three wells screened i*> the 

""00-foot" sand. The water levels in well 79:1-1, about 7 miles north of Memphis, and in well 

7":l-3, about 14 miles east of Memphis, have small yearly ranges of fluctuations and probably 

show the effect of all the pumping from the "500-foot" sand within the area. Well 79:7-17 ie in 

tl e Parkway well field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division. As might be expected, 

tl - e yearly range in water level in an active well field is extremely large. The water levels in 

frur observation wells screened in the "1,400-foot" sand of the Memphis area ranged from 

2, 6 feet higher to 3. 8 feet lower than the lowest levels of 1951. Figure 36 shows the flucturtions 

o" water levels in these four wells. Wells 79:7-26 and 79:8-56 are in the Parkway well field and 

tl P Sheahan well field, respectively, of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division. Well 

79-.148-1D is about 15 miles north of Memphis, and well 24:10-1 is about 30 miles northeast of 

J"emphis. Water levels in observation wells in other areas of west Tennessee, with the exeept'on of those in wells 9:4-2 and 40:1-5, declined during 1952. Slightly above-normal rainfall in 

ti » area of these two wells possibly caused the slight rises in water level.

Well-Numbering System

Each well number is made up of three items, the first and second of which are separated 

t-' a colon, and the second and third by a hyphen. The first item represents the county in which 

t' <^ well is situated; the second is the number assigned the owner or well field; and the thircf is 

t f. number of the well itself. The first item necessitated numbering all the counties in the State 

i- alphabetical order, starting with Anderson County as 1, Bedford County as 2, and so on. To 

provide for the second item, the owners or the well fields were assigned numbers in consecutive 

o-der as the wells were recorded by the Geological Survey. The third item, the number of the 

veil, corresponds to the number assigned the well by the owner. For example, the number 

73:7-17 indicates county 79, Shelby County; well field 7, the Parkway field of the Memphis Light, 

Os and Water Division; and well 17 in that field, as numbered by the owner. The Auction Avenue 

^>ell field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, where the water of about 100 well-? 

f' -*wed through tunnels into the so-called "wet well", is field 3 in Shelby County, and the shafts 

t' at were used to inspect the tunnels and drifts of that field, 25 in all, have been lettered to 

differentiate them from the wells. (See 79:3-A.)

h Tape measurement.
VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart and Alien Sinnott

Scope of Water-Level Program

The two programs of water-level measurements, .begun in June 1928 in cooperation with 

the State Geological Survey, were continued in 1952. In northern Virginia, month-end tape 

measurements were made in six wells, and in eastern Virginia, measurements were made in ten 

wells, two of which were equipped with recording gages. (See fig. 37.)

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Eastern Virginia. --The decline in water level in well 8 in Accomack Count;', at the 

Chincoteague Naval Auxiliary Air Station, has apparently ceased, and the slight recovery at the 

end of 1951 continued into 1952, with only a minor reversal near the end of the year.

Above-normal precipitation in the spring was reflected in the water level ir well 36, in 

Chesterfield County, culminating in a new high for the period of record at the end of March. At 

the end of the year, the water level was about a foot and a half higher than the year-end level for 

1951. The rainfall at Richmond was 8. 79 inches above normal during 1952, compared with 

3.76 inches below normal during 1951.

The water level in well 161 in Isle of Wight County, at the pulp mill in East Franklin,continued to decline in response to the pumping of an additional large-yield well at the mill. A new 

record low level was reached in October, about 3 feet below the low level for Sepv ember 1951. 

Temporary recovery of the water level by about 10 feet occurred twice, when the mill was shut 

down for a week in late May and again over July 4.

Well 1, Louisa County, was drilled in 1952 as an observation well. The water level declined 

steadily in this well until November 18, but recovered about 4 feet by the end of Vie year, apparently in response to lessening of evapotranspiration during the winter.

The water level in well 13, at the Old Dominion Water Corporation in Hopevell, Prince 

George County, showed substantially the same pattern of fluctuation as in 1951. Artificial recharge (in order to store cold water in the ground for reuse during the summer) vas probably 

carried on from January to March at the nearby Solvay Process Plant. Summer pumping at this 

plant began about mid-May, bringing the water level down to nearly 49 feet below the surface until late October, when pumping stopped and the water level recovered to about 36 feet below the 

surface at the end of the year. A temporary rise of 13 feet in August and another rise of 16 feet 

in November were apparently caused by abnormally high precipitation during thos? months, as re^ 

corded at Richmond.

During 1952, the water level in well 29 at Sebrell, Southampton County, declined about 1 

foot below the lowest 1951 level. The level in well 89 at Courtland also declined about a foot. 

Measurements in well 205 showed a decline of about 2 feet. All three wells in Southampton 

County showed record low levels in 1952 which are attributed to the continued punning of the 

additional large-yield industrial well at Franklin.

The water level in well 90 at Wakefield, in Sussex County, continued to decline slowly during 

the greater part of 1952, reaching a new low of 75. 80 feet on August 18. During the remainder of 

the year there was a recovery of a little more than a foot above this low level, so that at the end 

of the year the water level was about the same as for December 1951.

The artesian head in well 15 (Milstead 1) at Fort Eustis,in Warwick County,continued its 

slow recovery following the shutting-down of most of its wells early in 1951. There was a decline 

of about a foot in June, probably caused by pumping water for swimming facilities- This well 

was destroyed during new construction work in the latter part of the year.

Northern Virginia. Observation wells in the northern part of Virginia are shallow wells 

and are underlain by crystalline rocks. Their water levels are greatly affected by precipitation.

The precipitation and departure from normal at Washington, D. C., in 1952, as shown by 50 years 

of record of the U. S. Weather Bureau and which are representative of the precipitation in the 

northern part of Virginia are given in the table below.

Precipitation was 10. 58 inches above normal in 1952 as compared with 0. 31 inch above 

normal precipitation in 1951. This increase in precipitation is reflected in a noticeable net rise 

in water levels in all of the wells in the northern Virginia area.

As indicated by this summary, the greatest rise in water level occurred in the Bacon well 

(Fairfax County 1) where the water level was 2. 64 feet higher at the end of the year than at the 

beginning. The greatest range in fluctuation of water level, however, occurred in the Jefferson 

well (Fairfax County 3) where the difference between the highest and lowest stages recorded during 

the year was 6. 95 feet. The average net rise for the four deepest wells, Arlington County 1 and 2, 

and Fairfax County 1 and 3, was 1.17 feet which indicates a noticeable increase in ground-water 

storage since December 1951. The highest water levels during 1952 occurred near the end of 

April in the four Fairfax County wells; the first of June in the two Arlington County wells. A new 

all-time high water level of 9. 63 feet was recorded in the Bacon well (Fairfax County 1) on 

April 30. The previous all-time high water level in this well was 10. 88 feet recorded February 28, 

1949. With the exception of the Halls Hill well (Arlington County 1) and Swart well (Fairfax 

County 4), the lowest water levels for the year 1952 were at the .end of October. Arlington 

County 1 reached its lowest stage for the year near December 1; Fairfax County 4 reached its lowest stage near the end of July.

WEST VIRGINIA

By G. D. Graeff

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, begun in 1941 in cooperation with the Wes* Virginia 

Geological and Economic Survey, was continued in 1952. Measurements of water levels were 

made in 10 wells, 3 of which are equipped with recording gages. Figure 38 shoi'S the location 

of the observation wells in West Virginia.

P recipitation

The average precipitation over the State in 1952 was 42. 03 inches, about 4 inches less than 

the average for 1951. During the first half of the year precipitation was normal or above normal 

for each month except February and July. January was the wettest month of the year with an 

average rainfall of 5. 54 inches, almost 2 inches above normal. Heavy precipitation, primarily 

outside the State, caused a flood on the Ohio River during January 27-31, and lighter precipitation 

over West Virginia caused slight tributary flooding in the State. Rainfall in February was 

1. 85 inches, 1. 26 inches below normal, but ample subsoil moisture was availab'e at the end of 

the month owing to precipitation in January and at the beginning of February. Ir July rainfall of

3. 00 inches was 65 percent below normal. The dry period was alleviated by shcwers in August. 

 Rainfall in September was slightly below normal, and a statewide tendency toward drought developed. In October, small creeks began to fail, and hillside springs and wells on the tops of hills 

began to go dry as ground water escaped from the hillsides. Wells in the valleys or on broad 

upland areas at some distance from the area of natural discharge of the water-bearing formation 

were not seriously affected by the drought. Rainfall in November relieved the drought in the 

northeast and was helpful in most other sections. Even with below-normal rainfall in December 

there was a gradual recharge in most places of the ground-water supply.

Pumpage

Throughout most of West Virginia the use of ground water is limited to smqll quantities 

pumped by a great many users. There are only a few relatively heavily pumped areas in the 

State. In the Charleston business district an average of 500 thousand gallons a day is pumped 

throughout the year from several small wells. During the late spring,- summer, rnd early fall 

additional wells are pumped for air conditioning, and for that period the average pumpage in the 

area is about 1 million gallons a day. Figure 39 is a graph of the water level in well 40-5-14 in 

the center of the area during 1952 showing the seasonal decline of the water level caused by increased pumping and the recovery of the water level in the late fall after the air-conditioning 

season was over. The areas in West Virginia of largest withdrawals of ground vater are along 

the Ohio River. Near Follansbee, in Brooke County, two companies together pu-nped an average 

of 12 million gallons a day in 1952; in Marshall County about 3 million gallons a day were pumped 

for use by seven companies; and at Parkersburg, in Wood County, the city pump?d an average of

4. 621, 000 gallons a day. In such areas the ground water is obtained by induced infiltration from 

the river through the alluvial deposits adjacent to the river. At these and other similar areas 

along the Ohio River, the fluctuations of water level in the alluvium adjacent to t"ie river are in 

response mainly to changes in the level of the river rather than to changes in the rate of pumping 

as long as that rate does not exceed the rate of infiltration from the river. Figu-e 40 shows a 

graph of the fluctuations of the water level in well 27-3-22 at Parkersburg durinf 1952, and for 

comparison, it also shows the weekly pumpage from the city well field and the changes in river 

level near the well field. The observation well is within the city well field, but the pumping 

units are between it and the river. Land-surface datum at well 27-2-22 is about 25 feet above the 

normal pool stage of the river. Pool stage is about at the river level, as shown in the graph in 

figure 40, that occurred in October 1952.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Wells 11-3-8, Masontown; 11-3-14, Reedsville; and 40-3-1, Nitro; are all in rural areas, 

and pumpage in the vicinity of each well is confined to small quantities withdrawr from domestic 

wells. Well 9-6-45, Morgantown, is in an unpumped area. Well 42-4-1, Montgcmery, is about 

half a mile from wells pumped only during the summer months. The fluctuations of water levels

in all five wells are primarily in response to variations in local precipitation. Generally, water 

levels in these wells were as high during the first half of 1952 as they were during the same 

period in 1951. During the dry period from July to November water levels in the five veils declined, but in three wells the decline was more than the usual seasonal decline in water levels at 

these same wells during previous years. The water level in well 42-4-1, Montgomery, during 

all of 1952 was lower than in 1951. The water level in well 9-6-27, Morgantown, has l»en rising 

almost continuously since 1945 in response to a decrease in nearby pumping. For the first time 

since 1945 a new high of record had not been reached at the end of 1952. The net rate of rise 

during 1952 was about 2 feet less than the net rise in 1951. The water level in well 50-1-5, 

Kenova, fluctuates in response to changes in the level of the nearby Ohio River.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in West Virginia are assigned three-part numbers indicating their location by county and magisterial district. For this purpose the counties have been numbered consecutively in a general southward direction, beginning with Hancock County, which is st the 

northernmost tip of the State; the magisterial districts within each county are numbered consecutively according to the same plan; then the wells within the district are numbered consecutively 

as they are surveyed. Thus, the number 9-6-27, assigned to a well in Morgantown, irdicates 

that it is well 27 in district 6 (Morgan District) of county number 9 (Monongalia County).
