WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN -OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1948

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. K. Sayre and others

The ground-water investigations of the United States Geol£glgal Survey 

are primarily concerned with the location and jlppraisal of the ground-watefc 

resources of the Nation. They are carried on principally in financial co-. 

operation with States and municipalities, or at iphQ request of other federal 

agencies. Most of the investigations have to do with the availability of 

usable water supplies, but a few deal with drainage, flood gontrol, construction qf waterways and dams, mine drainage, and other problems to which 

the principles of ground-crater geology are pertinent. Water-Supply Pape_r 

992 lists about 1,800 papers $nd reports describing ground-water Investlgar 

tlons made by the Survey in cooperation with States and municipalities 

through 1945.

Significance of records of water leve.1 and artesian pressure

An essential part of the ground-water Investigations is the measurement of fluctuations of water level and artesian pressure In Wells. The 

rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in which a part 

of the water derived from rain and snow is stored to Supply wells and 

springy and t6 maintain the flow of streams during periods of fair weather* 

Water levels in wells indicate the stages, of these nRtusaJ. reservoirs; they 

show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by drought or by heavy 

pumping, jrhether for public waterworks, irrigation, or industrial uses; and 

the extgrit to which they are replenished in se>jjOns of abundant rainfall of 

melting snow* The recorded changes of pressure in flowing wells indicate 

depletion or replenishment of the artesian supplies.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

Th£ regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure in the United State's was begun b# the tjetjloficfj Survey In 1936 and h$s
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

continued yearly since. This series of water-supply papers Is In a sense 

an inventory of ground-water supplies. Prior to 1940 the records were 

published in a single volume. Beginning with 1940 the 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. (See fig. 1.) 

The introduction to the chapter on each State contains an outline of the 

general program of work and special features of the program in the current 

year, such as preliminary reports issued or put on file during the year or 

of work done in preparation for such a report. A general discussion of the 

fluctuations of water level and statements In regard to precipitation, pumpage, and other factors affecting water level are included. The following 

table gives the numbers of water-level reports from 1935 through 1948.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the southeastern States and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure in about 1,010 wells of the Geological 

Survey and cooperating agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, 

Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West 

Virginia. Of these wells, 114 are equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders. For some wells'not previously reported complete records of 

water level are given. For wells whose previous records have been published 

this volume gives only the current records. If a complete description of a 

well has been published in a previous report, only the well number or the 

well number and a brief description are given in this report. This report 

includes about 9,200 individual determinations of water level and artesian 

pressure.
INTRODUCTION 3

Land-surface datum

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea level or above 

or below various assumed datum planes. In 1943, it was decided that

Figure 1.--Outline map of the United States, showing sections of the country 

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in 1946. The shaded section represents the 

part of the country covered by this volume.

uniform practice should be adopted. Accordingly, a precise datum plane 

was established approximating the land surface at each well. The water 

levels and artesian heads for all wells listed in this report are given 

in feet below land-surface datum unless preceded by a plus (+) sign, or 

otherwise indicated in the descriptive text for each State. When water 

levels or artesian heads are referred to land-surface datum for the first 

time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter preceding them 

in order to facilitate comparison of the older and newer records.

Network of Federal observation wells

In 1942 and 1943 the Geological Survey established a network of 60 

Federal observation wells. These wells were selected because the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical and represent the 

general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the country in which the 

wells are situated. At the end of 1948 the network comprised about 360 

wells in 45 States, including' 300 wells measured regularly in connection 

with cooperptive ground-water investigations.

Changes in ground-water level in 1948 in the southeastern part 

of the United States

Precipitation in the southeastern States was above normal in 1948. 

The most remarkable rainy period ever recorded in Alabama occurred in November. In Georgia 1948 was the wettest year since 1929 and wetter than 

any other year during the past 60 years. The average annual precipitation 

in South Carolina was 59.25 inches, an excess of 11.35 inches. This is the 

third highest annual rainfall amount since 1887. The annual precipitation 

for Tennessee, 58.06 inches, was 8.26 inches above the average for the past 

65 years. In Virginia 1948 was the second wettest year on record, averaging 

0.91 inch less than the record year of 1937. The excess of precipitation 

in West Virginia wns over 7 inches. The fluctuations of both water level 

and artesian pressure in wells, however, depend on many factors besides the 

amount of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells there are 

fluctuations caused by difference in the rate of pumping or artesian flow 

from other wells in the area, but most of the observation wells are not 

noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. A summary of the changes 

in ground-water level is given in the chapter for each State.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water Investigations in Alabama wera qontlnued in 1948 in 

cooperation with the Geological Survey of Alabama. The investigations, 

which have been conducted since 1940, include th« periodic measurement 

of water levels and artesian pressures in a number of kay wells.

During 1948 the observation-well program was expanded to give a 

better cross section of water levels. Exclusive of measurements of 3 wells 

and 1 spring equipped with watsr-stage recorders, a total of 207 water-level 

measurements were made in 17 selected wells in 11 counties. Of these 17 

wells, weekly measurements were made in 3 wells, and monthly measurements 

were made in 14 wells.

Automatic water-stage recorders previously installed were in operation 

on three wells and one spring during 1948. One of the recorders is Installed 

at Huntsville 'Spr'ing, Madison County; one on a well at Clanton, Chilton 

County; one at the City Water Works, Selma, Dallas County; and one in a well 

in the city well field in Montgomery, Montgomery County.

The recorders at Huntsville and Montgomery are operated by the superintendents of the City Water Works, the recorders at Selma and Clanton by gage 

readers, while a well at SccJttsboro, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, 

is measured weekly by C. W. Wann, an employee of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Other measurements were made by the staff of the ground water branch 

monthly and periodically.

Coastal Plain. The boundary between these provinces is irregular and is 

known as the Pall Line of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast States. The Pall Line 

enters Alabama near Phenix City, extends across to Wetumpka, Clanton, and 

Tuscaloosa, then swings northwestward to the northwest corner of the State.

To the south of the Pall Line is the Coastal Plain Province. The geologic formations in 'this area consist mainly of unconsolidated clay, sandy 

clay, sand, gravel, chalk, marl, and limestone, which are divided into two 

major age groups, the Cretaceous and Tertiary systems. The Cretaceous formations occupy the northern half of the Coastal plain, while the Tertiary 

formations occupy the southern half (see fig. 2).

The Appalachian Division in Alabama includes three major provinces, the 

piedmont Province or crystalline area in east-central Alabama, the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Province, and the Appalachian Plateau Province in the 

northern part of the State {see fig. 2 ).

The formations in the Piedmont Province in east-central Alabama are 

metamorphic rocks, mainly crystalline schist and gneiss injected by younger 

igneous rocks. Only small yields, generally less than 10 gallons a minute 

and rarely exceeding 50 gallons a minute, are obtained from wells in the 

rocks of this area. To date no water-level measurements have been made in

the crystalline area, but it is planned to include this area in the 

\

observation-well program.

The geologic formstions of Paleozoic age, in northern Alabama, consist 

of shale, sandstone, limestone, and dolomite, which are important sources 

of ground water. Many municipal and industrial supplies in this area are 

derived from large springs issuing from fractures or solution channels. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations in water levels will be discussed by geologic provinces. The wells in the Paleozoic area in northern Alabama lie entirely 

within the Northern Division, as designated by the U. S. Weather Bureau. 

The wells in the Creteceous area, for the most part, lie within the Middle 

Division, while wells in the Tertiary area generally fall in the Southern 

Division.

Paleozoic area

In the paleozoic area in northern Alabama observations are made of the 

water levels in wells at Scottsboro, Jackson County, and the spring, at 

Huntsville, Madison County.

The measurements were begun In f.'arch 1945 on the Big Spring at Huntsville, Because of unusually heavy rainfall during February, March, July, 

and November, water levels rose" to a new high. The annual precipitation 

for 1948 was 61.73 inches, which was 8.78 inches above normal, Th« water 

levels during 1948 were much higher than those for 1947, when rainfall was 

14 inches below normal. The high for the period of observation wag regarded 

on February 14 when the water leVel stood at 2.68 feet above ths fc®P of thfl 

weir, while the low for the period ftccurrsd on January 1 when th« water 

level reached 2.26 feet above the top of the weir. Ooaiputsd en the basis 

of the pumpage and the flow of water over the lower Weir, it was found that 

the Spring flowed 16,164 gallpns p minute,- or 26,156,000 gallons a day, on 

February 14, when the high for the period January 1 to March 31 was recorded. 

During November and December the records became" so distorted^ flue to construction at the sgring, that they were of no value and are not included ill 

this report.

The Jackson County well, at Scoitsbero (J-28), record&d its highest 

water level for 1948 of 1.9Q feet below land-surface datiim 6n Bovember 30. 

During January and through April the water level fluctuated slightly, then 

slowly declined until September 19. Although the a'tation at Scottsboro 

recorded 75.94 inches of rainfall, which wfia 23.89 ihches above* normal, rainfall during June, July, and AUgtist was belQW normal* Bees'xise pf tiie close 

correlation between water level and precipitation, the well was clry at the 

time of measurement on October 3 Until November 8 when p reading of 10j84 

feet beldw land-surface datum teas recorded, The water level pole sharply 

until November 30 when the highest reading Qf the ye4r w$s reoor-dfid, then 

slowly declined. The last reading of the; yefcr^ made on December 28, re1 --- 

corded a water level of 4.40 feet below land-surface datum (see fig. 3).

Measurements were begun on April 26 on ft flowing well at Ver'noh, I,amar 

County, which is owned by J. W. Gartman. The weather station at Vernon did 

not have a complete year of observation, therefore no figures are available 

for the total precipitation. Vftien measurements were begun on April 26 the 

water level stood at 9.71 feet above land-surface datum", the highest reading of the year. It declined sloWly during the spring ah'd Summer to reach 

its lowest level of 7.71 feet above land-surface datum on September 3 then

10 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Periodic measurements were begun April 20 on a well at the Reform Gin 

Company, in Pickens County. The weather station at Reform recorded 64.73 

inches of rainfall during 1948. The highest water level of the year, 3.21 

feet below land-surface datum, was recorded on April 20. After declining 

to the low level of the year, 6.46 feet below land-surface datum on November 5, the water'level rose to 4.28 feet on December 30, the last reading 

of the year.

In Pickens County a well at Garrollton, owned by M. D. Carr, was put 

under periodic observation on April 20. Climatological data from the 

weather station at Reform was used, since there is no station at Carrollton. 

During 1948, 64.73 inches of rainfall was recorded. The measurement on 

April 20 showed the water level to be 19.19 feet below land-surface datum, 

the highest reading for the period of observation. The water level declined slowly and reached its lowest level of 22.73 feet below land-surface 

datum on November 15 then slowly rose throughout the rest of the year.

Periodic measurements were begun April 20 on a well at Aliceville, 

Pickens County, which is owned by H. M. Stapp. At Aliceville 58.01 inches 

of rainfall was recorded during 1948. Vi/hen the well was put under observation the water level stood at 2.13 feet below land-surface datum, but declined slowly until it stood at 4.05 feet below land-surface datum on 

September 3, then rose steadily until it reached 2.78 feet below landsurface datum on December 30.

Two wells are measured monthly in Greene County, one at Boligee, and 

the other at Eutaw. The highest water level of the year in the Boligee 

well was recorded on February 3 when the water le/el stood at 6.42 feet 

above land-surface datum. Precipitation data for the well at Boligee is 

computed on the basis of the average for the stations at Greensboro and 

Livingston, inasmuch as there is no station at Boligee. The average annual 

precipitation was 66.93 inches, which was 15 inches above normal. Average 

rainfall was above normal during February, March, April, May, July, September, and November. An average of 14.34 inches of rainfall was recorded 

for November, which was 11.28 inches above normal. The water level fluctuated only slightly throughout the year, and when the last measurement of 

the year was made it stood at 5.97 feet above land-surface datum.
ALABAMA 11

The Eutaw well at the Cotton Patch Restaurant, 3.8 miles north of 

Eutaw, recorded its highest level of the year on April 20 when the water 

level stood at 14.62 feet below land-surface datum, after having risen 

gradually since the beginning of the year. After the high reading of the 

year in April, the water level declined slowly until it reached the low 

level of the year, 18.92 feet below land-surface datum, on October 31, then 

slowly rose to 17.06 feet below land-surface datum on December 29. The 

total rainfall recorded at Eutaw was 60.78 inches. During November 15.26 

incbes of rainfall was recorded (see fig. 3 ) 

Measurements on the Tuscaloosa County well (T-15), 10.5 miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, were begun on May 12, 1946, and were continued through* 

1948. The Tuscaloosa weather station reported 63.45 inches of precipitation for the period, which was 9.47 inches above normal. The lowest water 

level for the year was recorded on February 14, when the water stood at 

30.86 feet below land-surface datum. The water level then rose to the high 

for the year on April 20, when 26-86 feet below land-surface datum was 

recorded. There was then a gentle decline throughout the summer and fall 

months and the last reading for the year, on December 30, showed the water 

level to be 30.05 feet below land-surface datura.

Measurements were begun April 20 on a flowing well 8.5 miles southwest 

of Tuscaloosa, in Tuscaloosa County. The well, which is 275 feet deep and 

4 inches in diameter, is owned by C Q« Bush. A total of 63-45 inches of 

rainfall, which was 9.47 inches above normal, was recorded at the Tuscaloosa weather station, the nearest station to the well. Above-normal rainfall of 6.45 inches for the months February through May was responsible for 

the high water level of 8.75 feet above land-surface datum when the well 

was put under observation. The water level slowly declined through the 

summer and early fall and reached its lowest level, 6.40 feet above landsurface datum, on November 5. During November 14.25 inches of rainfall, 

or 10-67 inches above normal, was recorded, which resulted in a high water 

level of 8-00 feet above land-surface <iatum on December 6.

Measurements were begun March 9 on a well at Duncanville, in Tuscaloosa 

County, owned by the .Gulf, Mobile & Ohio JR. R. Co. The weather station nearest Duncanville, at Tuscaloosa, recorded 62.70 inches of rainfall during 

1948. When measurements were begun on March 9, the water level stood at

928579 O - 51 - 2

5.09 feet below land-surface datum, the highest level for the period of 

record. The water level slowly declined (luring the summer and fall to 

reach its lowest level of"8-22 feet below land-surface datum on November4. 

By the last measurement of the year, on December 30, the water level had 

risen to 5.76 feet below land-surface datum.

Measurements were begun April 23 on a well at Centerville, Bibb County, 

owned by the Centerville Gin Company. The weather station at Centerville 

recorded 68.48 inches of rainfall during 1948, which was 12.63 inches above 

normal. Above-normal rainfall during February and March was apparently 

responsible for the high water level of 26.85 feet below land-surface datum 

when the well was put under observation. The watej; level slowly declined 

to reach its lowest level of 31.79 feet below land-surface datum on 

September 28. The measurement on December 3, 25.71 feet below land-surface 

datum, was the highest for the period of repord.

The Chilton County well, at Glanton, did not have a qpmplete year of 

measurements. When the well was measured January 23 the water level stood 

at 18-74 feet below land-surface datum. The weather statiop at Clanton 

recorded 70.99 inches of precipitation, which was 17.14 inches above normal. Rainfall during January, April, May, October, and December was 6-55 

inches below normal, while the ofher 7 months had a total above-normal 

precipitat|.dh of 23-69 inches. After the measurement on March 9, which 

recorded 16.53 feet below land-surface datum, the water level slowly declined until it reached its lowest reading of the year; 21-48 feet below 

land-surface datum, on November 9, then rose gradually until it reached 

18.00 feet below land-surface datum, the last readirig of the year.

Periodic observation was begun on March 9 on a well at Maplesville, 

Chilton County, owned by the Stremming Veneefr Company." This well is 25 

feet deep, 48 inches in diameter, and reflects shallow water-table conditions in the fusfcaloosa formation in the area. The highest water le'frel 

recorded during 1948 was on March 9 when it stood at 14.36 feet below landsurface datum. ¥h!? watgr level then declined gently until the Ipw far the 

year w&s reached oh tfovember 4 When 18-43 feet below land-surface datum was 

recorded. The water level then rose to 15.92 ffeefc below land-surface dattnn 

when the last measurement for the year was taken on D£cetober 29.

Observations were begun on March 9 ort a well 34 feet deep and 36 inches 

in diameter, at Stantofi, Chilton County, belonging to P. 1» Lewis. The 

nearest weather station at Plantersville recorded 63.85 inches of precipitation during 1948. The highest water level for the year was recorded on 

March 9 when the water level stood at 14.30 feet below land-surface datum. 

There was a decline during the sturdier and fall months and the low for the 

year was Reached on November 4 when 26.34 feet below land-surface datum was 

recorded. This well is one of four wells used for correlative studies in 

cooperation with the surface water branch in the Mulberry Creek -drainage 

basin. Wells at Mapleaville, Plantersville, and Jones are also included in 

the program.

Observations were begun March 9 on a well at Plantersville, Dallas 

County, owned by J. W. Picketing. During 1948, 63.85 inches of rainfall 

was recorded fey the Plantersville weather station. When measurements were 

begun on March 9, the water level stood at 13.80 feet Below land-surface 

datum, the highest reading of the year. The water level declined gradually 

te 20.11 feet below land-rsurface datum, the lowest reading of the year* 

By December 39 the water level had risen to 15.89 feet below land-surfase 

datum.

The Dallas County well, at Selma, was not measured during January, 

February, July,and August, Rainfall, as recorded at the Selma station, 

totalled 58.41 inches, or 8.16 inches above nortoftl* Although the total 

rainfall was1 above norftal, below-normal rainfall was recorded during 

January, February, April, May, July, August, October, and December. On the 

first measurement of the year on March 9' the water level stood at 19-62 feet 

below lahd-siirface datum. It slowly rose u"fttil it reaehe4 its highest reading of the yeat of 13,93 feet below land-surface datum on March 28, then 

declined through April, May,and part of June* Wh'en measurements were discontinued at the end of June, the water level had risen to 17.45 feet below land-surfacb datum. When measurements were resumed at the end of 

August, the water level stood at 26.63 feet below land-surface datum. During the remainder of the year the water level rose slowly until the last 

measurement of the year when 18-93 feet below land-surface datum was 

recorded.

Or March 9 observation was begun on a well 0-3 mile south of the 

post-office at Jones, in Autauga County, owned by J. P. Apperson. On this 

date the water level stood 2.07 feet below land-aurface datum. The level 

slowly declined an average of 1.03 feet a month until it stood at 7.22 

feet below land-surface datum on September 28. The well was not measured 

again until December 3 when the water level stood at 2.57 feet below landsurface datumi indicating a riae of 4.65 feet in a period of 35 days. However, the water level declined during the last 26 days until the level 

stood at 3.17 feet below land-surface datum. A total of 63.85 inches was 

recorded for the year, at the weather station in Plantersville, but records 

are not available as to whether this amount is above or below normal. The 

highest precipitation for the area for any one month in 1948 was recorded 

in November with a total of 17.86 inches. This large amount of precipitation would probably account for the sudden rise in water level prior to 

the measurement on December 3.

A Montgomery City well is equipped with a water-stage recorder and 

haa a complete record for the year. The water level fluctuated during the 

period January through April, then rose and declined spasmodically from 

May through August, -jhe low reading for the year, 134.19 feet below 

land-surface datum was recorded on September 3. The water level rose 

steadily during the rest of the year, then declined slowly. The high reading for the year, 108.39 feet below land-surface datum, was recorded on 

December 3. During 1948, 62.48 inches of rainfall was recorded, which was 

11.09 inches above normal. Above-normal precipitation was recorded during 

March, July, September, and November. The unusually high rainfall during 

November 20.10 inchea or 16.87 inches above normal, was responsible for the 

above-average rainfall for the year (see fig. 3 ).

Weekly measurements were begun October 5 on a well in Macon County 

owned by Tuskegee Institute. Above-normal rainfall was recorded during 

January, February, March, June, July, and November. When the water level 

was first measured on October 5, it stood at 95.99 feet below land-surface 

datum. The water level fluctuated slightly during October, November, and 

early December, then rose sharply, due to a decrease in pumpage in the 

vicinity of the well, to 76.12 feet below land-surface datum on December 21, 

the highest reading of the year.
ALABAMA, CHILTON COUNTY 15

Tertiary area

Weekly observations were begun October 1 on a well owned by the city 

of Monroeville, Honroe County. A total rainfall of 62.29 inches, which was 

6.71 inches above normal, was recorded at the weather station in Evergreen. 

The highest above-normal rainfall, 4.10 inches, was recorded during November. The highest water levels of the period of observation, 52.96 inches 

below land-surface datum, were recorded on November 19 and December 3, while 

the water level fluctuated only slightly the remainder of the observation

period.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of well observation In Florida was continued In 1948 In 

cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey and with several counties 

and cities of the State. The observation program is a. part of a cooperative Investigation of the ground-water resources of Florida, which was 

begun In some parts of the State as early as 1930. An intensive investigation in southern Florida, begun in 1939, Is being made in cooperation 

with Bade County, and the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and Coral Gables. 

Other counties and cities cooperating in ground-water investigations In 

1948 include Pinellas County, and the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Dania, 

Delray Beach, and Pensacola.

During the year 11 additional automatic water-stage recorders were 

installed, and at the close of 1948, the program Included 393 wells, 57 of 

which were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. More than 3,900 

periodic measurements were made in the State during the year.

OCCURRENCE OP GROIJND WATER

In Florida north of Lake Okeechobee, the source of water for most 

cJties, Industries, farms, citrus groves, and rural homes is, obtained from 

a highly productive and extensive aquifer consisting of the Ocala limestone 

and other limestones and dolomites of Eocene, Ollgocene, and Miocene ages. 

At most places this aquifer Is overlain by a thick section of younger 

materials that Includes relatively Impervious beds which confine the water 

under artesian pressure. The water is under sufficient pressure to use 

above the land surface over roughly half £he State, including a band about 

20 miles wide along the east coast, all the area south of Lake Okeechobee, 

the Kisslmmae River Valley, and other areas.

Snallbw aquifers supply jjibst of the, water used in southern Florida 

and at some places along the Oast coast south of Duval County, whjsre the 

artesian water is too highly, mineralized for general use. They are also 

the principal source, of supply in Escafflbia County. These aquifers are 

composed of limestone, sand, shell marl, and coquinfi, and range in age frOft 

Miocene to Pleistocene. Among them is £he Tamiami formation In southeastern Florida, one of the most highly permeable aquifers' In the world. 

Generally, however, the shallow aquifers are less permeable and legs 

productive tlian the deeper limestone aquifer.

FLUCTUATIONS QP WATER LSV2L AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE

Water levels and pressures in Florida west of the Suwannee Hiver 

rose generally during 1§48. The nj.se in water levels and pressures fas 

due primarily to the fact that rainfall was greater in 104Q than it was in
FLORIDA 21

1947. At all precipitation stations of the U- S. Weather Bureau for which 

departures from the normal were reported in this area, rainfall in 1948 

was greater than normal, and in only two stations was the rainfall less 

than the heavy precipitation during 1947.

Water levels rose slightly in all the observation wells in Escambia 

County, except Escambia County well 45 in which the water level continued 

its progressive decline. A decline of nearly 2 feet occurred in this well 

during 1948, owing to the pumping by the Florida Pulp and Paper Company.

The water level in Leon County well 5 reached a high of 88.3 feet be-

%

low land-surface datum on April 22 and 23, the highest recorded since measurements began near the end of 1931. The high water level in this well is 

the result of exceptionally heavy rainfall during April, which created floods 

in the Suwannee River basin and other river basins In northern Florida.

In Bay, Walton, Washington, and Gadsden Counties water levels declined 

slightly, whereas in Holmes County they rose slightly.

The water levels rose slightly in observation wells in Taylor County, 

owing to local recharge from above-normal rainfall.

The artesian pressure in Nassau and Duval Counties declined slightly 

during 1948 chle?Sjr because rainfall in 1948 was less than it was in 1947. 

The precipitation at the Jacksonville airport was 77.37 inches in 1947, 

whereas it was only 63.30 inches in 1948. The largest declines in artesian 

pressure Occurred in Nassau County wells 22, 23, and 27, near Femandina, 

in which the pressures are affected by the withdrawal of about 30 million 

gallons of water a day by Rayonier, Inc. at Fernandina.

The water level in Columbia County well 9, at lake City, declined more 

than 4 feet from the beginning of record on June 5 until the end of the year.

Weekly measurements .of artesian pressure in Marion County well 5 wsre 

continued during 1948 by the surface-water district office of the U. S* 

Geological Survey at Ocala^ The pressure in this well reached a high of 

13.67 feet above land-surface datum on October 9 and 23, the highest it has 

been Since October 7, 1933. The pressure then declihed to 12.43 feet at the 

end of the year, which w&s approximately the same as it WRS at the beginning 

of tfte year. The water level in this well does ndt respond rapidly to 

local rainfall. ,

Observations of water levels in Pinellas County were begun in 1946 in 

cooperation with the county of Pinellas as a fiart of an investigation of the
22 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

encroachment of sea water into the limestone aquifer. This investigation 

has indicated that most of the ground water in the Pinellas peninsula is 

derived from local rainfall. Water levels in most of the wells in the county 

declined during 1948, owing, in part, to the decrease in precipitation in 

1948.

Water levels in Volusia, Orange, Brevard, Hillsborough, and Manatee 

Counties, in central Florida, declined slightly during 1948 as a result of 

the decrease in rainfall in the region.

In southern Florida 1948 was the^second consecutive year of above-normal 

rainfall, and, as a result, the water levels were the highest that have been 

recorded, except during the severe floods of 1947. Rainfall in the first 

half of 1948 was, in most areas, about normal, whereas in the last half of 

the year it was above normal as a result of heavy rains that accompanied two 

hurricanes which crossed the State in late September and early OctoberThe September hurricane crossed the State from Everglades City to Stuart, 

and the October hurricane crossed the Florida Keys and passed over the 

Miami area. The heavy rains that accompanied these two hurricanes, adding 

to the above-normal rainfall during the preceding months, caused floods 

over large areas of southern Florida.

Water levels reached their peak after the October hurricane, and areas 

in Miami, Miami Springs, Hialeah, and numerous small towns were inundated. 

However, the flood conditions were not so severe as in the preceding year, 

except in South Dade County where water levels were about 0.4 foot higher. 

In most areas the water levels averaged 0.3 foot to 2.0 feet lower than those 

recorded in October 1947. Water levels declined slowly during November and 

December but were still above the normal stage at the end of the year.

The total rainfall at Miami in 1948 was 57.04 inches, 12.13 inches less 

than in the previous year. Decreases in total annual rainfall at other Dade 

County stations, as compared with that in 1947, were as follows: Coconut 

Grove, 8.67 inches, Homestead, 23.50 inches; Pennsuco, 14.19 inches; and 

Kendal, 3.81 inches.

At Hypoluxp, near Lake Worth, Palm Beach County, the total rainfall in 

1948 was 77.86 inches, 26.57 inches less than in 1947, at Fort Pierce, in 

St. Lucie County, 57.96 inches, 19.80 inches less; and at Fort Myers, in " 

Le County, 47.96 inches, 32.21 inches less.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in selected wells 

in Georgia, begun in 1938 in cooperation with the Georgia Department of 

Mines, Mining, and Geology, were continued in 1948. Since 1938, when the 

program embraced walls in only three counties Chatham, Dougherty, and 

Glynn the observa-fcion-well program steadily expanded until, in 1943, it 

included 231 wells in 29 counties, of which 7 counties were in the northern 

part of the State. Prom 1944 through 1946 the observation-well program 

was maintained on virtually the same level as in 1943. Beginning with 1947 

and continuing through 1948 wells nave had to be dropped from the program. 

Causes contributory to discontinuance of measurements include failure of 

well through caving, general depreciation of well fixtures^ change of 

ownership with subsequent permanent abandonment of well, installation of 

pumps, which prohibit water-level measurements, etc. In 1948 automatic 

water-stage recorders were maintained on 5 wells during ^h& entire year 

and 194 individual measurements of water level and artesian pressure were 

made on wells not equipped with water-stage recorders. Measurements on 

well 25, Baker County, were made by the Emory University Field Station^ 11 

miles southwest of Newton; they form part of the hydrologi'c data Collected 

by that statibh in connection with its research on malaria controls These 

measurements are given in this report.

The observation-well program in the northern counties was begun in 

1943 and consisted of 42 drilled and 2 dug wells. Since that time, for 

various reasons, measurements on some of these wells have had to be dis^ 

continued, the program in 1948 including 35 wells, which are divided among 

the counties as follows: Clayton, 3} Cobb, 12; DeKalb, 6j Pultohj 12; 

Henry, 1; Spalding, 1.

OCCURRENCE OP GROUND WATER

The geologic map of Georgia shows the State divided into three major 

geoiqgic provinces, namely, the Paleozoic area, the Crystalline area, and 

thf Gpastal Plain. The Paleozoic area, which is in the northwestern part 

of» the State, is, the smallest of the three, and no observation wells have 

yet been established in it. The Crystalline are,a is considerably larger 

than the Paleozoic and lies south and east of it. Observation wells have 

be,£n established anc| maintained in six counties that lie in |he Crystalline 

area, bu^ mos,t of the wells a^| in the four Bounties in ^ihich the city of 

Atlanta and its environs are situated. The Coastal Plain is the largest 

of th^ three provinces and larger than the other two epmbined* It covers! 

an ar^a of about 35,000 square miles, or about 60 pe,reent of the entire 

State, It embraces all that part of the State lying south of the Pall 

L3Lne, which passes approximately through Columbus^ Macon, Milledgeville ? 

and Augugta. and marks the northern limit of tha gedinientary rocks, whieft 

overlie the old«r crystalline rocks,. More than 77 pereent of the
106 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

observation wells In Georgia are In this province. The Coastal Plain Is 

underlain by water-bearing formations that range In age from upper 

Cretaceous to Recent.

The observation wells In 'the Crystalline area of Georgia and In 

Igneous and metamorphlc rocks or surflclal material weathered from them. 

Most of the observation wells In the Coastal Plain, for which there are 

records, end In limestones of Ollgocene or upper Eocene age, which, as a 

unit, Is the principal artesian aquifer In southeast Georgia. Chatham 

County well 343, a shallow well 12 miles southwest of Savannah, ends in 

deposits of Recent age and therefore serves to Illustrate the fluctuation 

of the water table in formations of that age In this area. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

In wells In the Crystalline area water levels fluctuate from season 

to season with the precipitation. The water table, "therefore, stands 

highest with respect to the surface of the ground during the months of 

April and May, when the precipitation is generally greatest, and lowest In 

December and January, when precipitation Is usually least. The fluctuations also differ from well to well, the proximity of the well to a main 

drainage channel and Its position in relation to the topography of the 

surrounding country determining, In large measure, the fluctuations of Its 

water level. Other factors responsible for differences In fluctuation 

from well to well are depth and method of construction. Dug wells seem to 

respond much more sharply to seasonal precipitation than do drilled wells.

In the Coastal Plain water levels In wells ending In the principal 

limestone aquifer at the close of 1948 were slightly higher In Effingham, 

Evans, Chatham, Bryan, and Liberty Counties, but lower south of Liberty 

County, as compared with those during the previous December. In the 

Savannah area, which Includes the industrial area northeast of the city 

proper, artesian water levels averaged 0.4 foot lower during 1948 as 

compared with 1947. This condition Is believed to be-'due to Increased 

industrial pumpage. Accordingly, In 1948 the total metered pumpage In the 

Savannah area, which Is the combined pumpage of the Savannah municipal 

waterworks and the Union Bag and Paper Corporation, Increased by 

587,250,817 gallons over that of 1947. December water levels In Chatham 

County as a whole, excluding the Industrial area, showed % average
GEORGIA 107

Increase of 0.41 foot over those recorded during December 1947. On 

Wilmington and Tybee Islands the average year-end increase during 1948 

amounted to 0.51 foot. In the southern part of Chatham County December 

water levels showed an average increase of 0.5 foot. However, in the 

northern and northwestern parts of the county, year-end water levels had 

declined 0.35 and 0.08 foot, respectively, as compared with those of 

December 1947.

In Bryan and Liberty Counties year-end water levels averaged 0.25 and 

0.30 foot, respectively, higher in 1948 as compared with 1947i However, 

in Mclntosh, Glynn, and Camden Counties, average year-end water levels 

showed decreases of 0.39 foot, 1.0 foot, and 1.44 feet, respectively, as 

compared with those of 1947. Water levels decreased about 1.0 foot in the 

Brunswick area in spite of a sizable decrease in industrial pumpage. 

Accordingly, the total metered pumpage in Brunswick, which is the combined 

pumpage of the Peoples Water Service Company, Brunswick Pulp and Paper 

Company, and the Hercules Powder Company, decreased by 2,340,906,000 

gallons during 1948 as compared with 1947. Because of similar declines in 

areas, that are situated up-dip from Brunswick and therefore not affected 

by local pumpage, this situation is thought to be due to natural causes 

affecting the recharge area supplying the Brunswick area. December water 

levels in well 18, at St. Marys, were down 3.92 feet as compared with 

previous year-end levels. In the St. Marys area the total metered pumpage 

of the St. Marys Kraft Corporation increased by 675,000,000 gallons during 

1948 as compared with 1947. It is possible that well 18 is affected by 

both local industrial pumpage and industrial pumpage in nearby Fernandina, 

Florida. Additional factors to be considered in the St. Marys area are 

the effects due to natural causes, that is, recharge conditions in up-dip 

areas, and tidal effects. Periodic measurements of well 18, therefore, 

would not necessarily represent true water-level conditions in this area. 

It is felt that well 18 is not yet affected by local industrial pumpage. 

Further, continuous water-level records from well 18 would probably reveal 

a year-end decline during 1948 approximating that in up-dip wells about 

1.44 feet. In Brantley, Charlton, Pierce, and Wayne Counties year-end 

water levels were from 0.47 foot to 1.18 feet lower in 1948 as compared 

with 1947.

108 WATER LEVELS. AND ARTESIA^ PRESSURE, 1948, SOtHHEASTERN STATES

The decrease in water levels--approximately 0.4 foot in the Savannah 

area is attributed to increased pumpage during 1948 as compared with 19^47. 

Year-end water Revels in the remainder of coastal Georgia during 1948 are 

thought to be due to natural causes.

Well 343, Chatham County, is at the U. S. Plant Introduction Station, 

12 miles southeast of. Savannah. This is a dug wellj 14.5 feet deep', and 

shows the ef-feot of precipitation. Wat.er levels recorded in this well 

represent levels of the water table and not artesian wa^r Revels as noted 

in the data given above 1. The average daily water level for this well 

during December 19^48 was 3.18 feet ^ower than t;hat of the previous Decembey. 

This la thought to be due to year-end precipitation during the 2 y^ears. 

The annual daily average water leve.1 f.or this welly however, was 0.5 foot 

higher during 1948 than during the pr6vi£us yea.r in aplte of a slight 

decrease in total precipitation during 1948. Bebause of unusually heavy 

precipitation diiring 1947 and e£rly 1948 th£ water table Iri th^s area was 

built up to the hi$iest level so far recorded for th\% well. Part pf the 

high water levels recorded in this well Curing 1948 resulted from t.he high 

p'recipltatiori of 1947. Pi-eel git atiori In 1948, thbugh slightly lo^er than 

that of the previous year, wais sufficient to maintai'n a high water table 

in this ar.ea duriftg the entire year. Continued decrease in precipitation 

during 1949, would result In progressive lowering of water lev.elg In this 

well.

As in Well 343, Chatham (Joun^y, all wells in North Georgia r.efleqt 

water-t&ble conditions and consequently also reflect the effect p,f precipitation. Because of higu precipitation during 1947 and 1948, yqar-end 

fater levels, in North Georgia were uniformly higher. These increases 

ranged frpm 0.34 foot to 4.58 feet. The annual daily average, for well 2g, 

Fulton County, during 1948 showed an Increase, of 2.59 feet afi compared 

with 1947.

Well 12, Spaldlhg County, Is a$ th^ Geor'gla. 'State Experiment Station, 

Experiment. Th.14 Is a dug well, 30.5 feet d^epj and shqws t*1 ® effect of 

precipitation. Average wate.E levels In this well during 1948 wer.e up 

approximately 1 foot as compared with 1947. This 'Hrps received almost 

exactly the sarte amount of rainfall enuring 1948 as that recorded during thft
GEORGIA, BAKER COUNTY 109

previous year. Here again, as in well $43, Chatham County, the water 

table has been progressively built up over a period of two successive 

years because of Unusually high amounts of precipitation during 1947 and 

1948.

PROGHAM OF WORK

Investigation of the ground-water resources of the Louisville area 

was continued in 1948 in cooperation with Jefferson County and the city of 

Louisville. This investigation, which was begun In 1943 because of a 

critical shortage of ground water for Industrial uae, has been continued 

so that records of pumpage and water level will be available in order to 

foresee and prevent a recurrence of a critical shortage.

The Investigation of the ground-water supplies In the area northeast 

of Louisville, begun In 1945 in cooperation with the Louisville Water 

Company, was completed during the year. This Investigation Included detailed studies of the supplies available by induced Infiltration from the 

Ohio River.

The 3-year program, begun In 1945, to Investigate the ground-water 

supplies In Bourbon, Payette, Jessamine, and Scott Counties, In central 

Kentucky, was completed In 1948. This program was In cooperation with the 

Geological Division of the State Derartment of Mines and Minerals.

A reconnaissance survey of ground-water problems of the State, begun 

In 1946 in cooperation with the Geological Division of the State Department 

of Mines and Minerals, was discontinued In 1948,

Mlm»ographed reports and maps released during the year are listed

As part of the work in the Louisville area, water-level measurements 

were made in 132 wells. Observations were made in all wells at 6-week 

intervals and more frequently during river floods. Automatic water-stage 

recorders were maintained on 6 wells during the entire year and on 5 wella 

during part of the year. A total of 94 months of automatic record and 

1,590 water-level measurements were obtained during the year.

An observation well was established at Murray, Galloway County, and 

seven measurements were made on this well during the year. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL 

Jefferson County

In the Louisville area as a whole, water levels rose an average of 

0.46 foot during the year, representing an average gain in storage of 

about 1.9 million gallons a day. In areas along the Ohio River, water 

levels rose as much as 4.5 feet, reflecting the spring flood of the river; 

while in heavily pumped areas away from the river, water levels declined 

as much as 2.3 feet.

In the downtown area, north of parallel 38°13 f N. and east of meridian 

85°46 f W. (see fig. 4 }, continued pumpage for air conditioning and other 

industries lowered the water levels about 1.5 feet during the year. The 

hydrograph for well 45-14-1 shown on figure 5 is representative«of the 

area. The loss was somewhat less than usual because of the effects of 

recharge gained from the Ohio River spring flood. Shown also on figure 

is a hydrograph for well 50-10-2, in the unpumped area south of the city. 

Water levels in this area, which reflect recharge from rainfall, rose 

about 0.3 foot during the year.

In the industrial area of the city, west of meridian 85°46' W. and 

north of parallel 38°13' N. (see fig. 4 ), water levels declined an 

average of almost a foot during the year. Figure 6 shows the hydrograph

of water levels in well 46-14-1 and a graph of average pumpage for, this 

area. About two-thirds of the 1948 pumpage in this area was from wells 

penetrating the limestone underlying the glacial-outwagh deposits.

In the distillery area south of Louisville, the change in water levels 

ranged from an average decline of 0.9 foot in £he southern part ibo an 

average rise of 2.0 feet in the northern part of the area (see fig. 7 ). 

The pumpage, graph shows that the 1948 pumpage for the area was about a 

third of that during }942 and 1943.

In the "Hubbertown" area, a strip about 2 mileg wide extending 5 

miles southwest along the river from the southwestern boundary of the 

city, a,n aver.age rise of about 2 feet in the water table continued the 

general recovery trend begun early in 1945. Pumpage in this area was 

practically the same as in 1947, and about half of the 1944 war-time peak 

(see fig . 8 ).

AVERAGE PUMPAG

OF GALLONS 
KENTUCKY, CALLOWAY COUNTY 131

The war-time peak total pumpage of 61.5 million gallons a day occurred 

in 1943; decreases in 1944 and 1945 resulted from conservation measures 

Pumpage since 1945 reflects decreases caused by cut-backs in production 

at the end of the war, continuation of war-time conservation measures, 

and additional conservation measures since 1947 encouraged by the adoption 

of a sewer program' which requires rental payment for use of sewers.

Figure 9 shows estimated pumpage from rock wells and from sand and 

gravel wells for the period 1937-48. Also shown for the period 1943-48 

is the extent of artificial recharge and the estimated gains and losses in 

storage for the area. The gain in 1945 was a result of extensive recharge 

from the river during the major flood (second highest of record); the 

flood in the spring of 1948 accounted for most of the excess of recharge 

over pumpage in the year.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

Records for six wells in the Louisville area, in Indiana, are published in Water-Supply Paper 1126.

The Louisville area lies between latitude 85° and 86° north and 

longitude 38° and 39° west. The area has been subdivided into quadrangles 

formed by the 1-minute meridians and parallels. Wells in each small 

quadrangle are numbered beginning with 1. Of nearly 700 wells inventoried^ 

only the ones selected for observation are shown on figure 5 . Wells are 

designated by a composite of three numbers; the minutes of longitude of 

the quadrangle, the minutes of latitude of the quadrangle, and the number 

of the well in that quadrangle. Thus well number 45-15-2 is the second 

well inventoried in the 1-minute quadrangle west of 85°45' W.^longitude 

and north of 38°15' N. latitude. (See figure 5 for well locations*) A 

similar numbering system based on 5-minute quadrangles is used in Kentucky 

outside of the Louisville area.

MARYLAND 

By Gerald Meyer 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The measurement of water levels in observation wells In Maryland was 

continued during 1948 as a part of the Investigation of the ground-water 

resources of the State, In cooperation with the Maryland Department of 

Geology, Mines and Water Resources. Nine observation wells were added 

during the year; two In Anne Arundel County, four In Prince Georges County, 

and one each In Charles, Carroll, and Montgomery Counties.

During the year 957 tape measurements of water levels were made, and 

3,617 dally water-level readings were determined for this report from 

continuous records obtained by the use of automatic water-stage recorders 

on nine wells. At the end of the year the observation-well program 

included 178 wells.

PRECIPITATION^/

The year was characterized by heavy precipitation and near normal 

temperatures In Maryland. The precipitation was above normal at all stations and the average departure from normal for the entire State was about 

12 Inches. The central and southern parts of the Eastern Shore of Maryland 

and the counties In southern Maryland bordering Chesapeake Bay received 

the greatest total precipitation. There were no prolonged dry periods 

during the year In any part of the State. A brief summary of the precipitation at selected stations in Maryland for 1948 Is given In the following

156 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Fluctuations of ground-water levels In the Baltimore industrial area, 

the area of greatest concentrated ground-water consumption In Maryland, 

were measured in 22 observation wells during the year. Most of these wells 

are unavoidably near or within localities of heavy pumpage and the major 

water-level fluctuations are caused chieflv by changes In the rates of 

pumpage of ground water.

Only a small percentage of the ground water consumed In the Baltimore 

industrial area Is metered, consequently changes in the rates of pumpage 

cannot be determined accurately. The total pumpage may be estimated, 

however, by comparing the water-level measurements obtained during 1948 

with those obtained In 1945, a year for which more complete pumpage data 

are available. The total ground-water pumpage In the Baltimore industrial 

area in 1945 is estimated to have been about 35 million gallons a day;

the pumpage In 1948 may have been as much as 40 million gallons a day.

\ 

The water levels in most of the observation wells in the Baltimore

Industrial area fluctuate widely as a result of daily pumpage changes and 

it is difficult, therefore, to determine the annual net change of the 

artesian head. For this reason the following values of change In artesian 

head for the two major aquifers should be considered as approximate:

Patuxent formation

Sparrows Point district Rise of 4 to 13 feet

Dundalk-Canton district No change to a decline of 5 feet

HIghlandtown district Decline of 6 feet

Harbor district Decline of 2 feet ,

Fairfield district Decline of 4 to 16 feet

Curtis Bay district Rise of 4 feet

Patapsco formation

Sparrows Point district Decline of 1 to 12 feet 

Curtis Bay district Rise of 1 foot.

Most of the water-level measurements obtained on the Eastern Shore of 

Maryland are from wells in the Salisbury area, established In connection 

with a detailed ground-water investigation In that area. These measurements show, with one exception, a net rise for the year ranging from a 

fraction of a foot to about 4.5 feet. The only well showing a decrease 

for the year was the Salisbury Municipal Airport well Wi-Cf 3 which showed 

a net decline of about 2 feet. An automatic water-stage recorder was 

maintained on well Wi-Ce 13 in Salisbury. This Is the only well in the
MARYLAND 157

Eastern Shore area for which a record for the entire year is available; 

its record shows a net rise for the year of about 4.5 feet. This net 

rise in water level, indicating a large increase in ground-water storage, 

was caused chiefly by the abnormally high precipitation during the year. 

Outside of the Salisbury area, water-level measurements were obtained from 

two wells, in Dorchester and Kent Counties, on the Eastern Shore; their 

periods of record are too brief, however, to indicate water-level trends.

Practically all of the wells measured in southern Maryland during the 

year indicate a rise in the water levels of both water table and' artesian 

aquifers, with net increases ranging from about 0.5 foot in well AA-Bb 18 

to 6.25 feet in well AA-Ce 24. Two wells show a decline, well AA-Ef 3 and 

well AA-Ce 49, each with a net decrease of about 0.5 foot.

Water-level measurements in observation wells in central Maryland do 

not indicate a uniform or consistent trend of water levels for the year. 

Measurement's in 10 observation wells indicate that the net annual change 

of water levels in wells, situated relatively close to one another, differ 

markedly. For example, well Fr-Ee 1 and well Fr-Fc 1, in Frederick County, 

show a net rise for the year of approximately 4 feet and 2.5 feet, respectively. Conversely, well Fr-Bd 1 and well Fr-Cg 1, also in Frederick 

County, show a net decline for the year of approximately 19 feet and 1 

foot respectively. An average of the net changes recorded in 10 observation wells in this area indicates a net rise of about 0.8 feet. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were operated on two wells in this area during the 

year; one at Gaithersburg, well Mont-De 1, and the other at Colesville, 

well Mont-Eg 1. The well at Colesville has been measured either periodically or continuously by means of an automatic water-stage recorder since 

1932.

In the westernmost part of the State Allegany, Washington, and 

Garrett Counties the annual net change in all but one of the observation 

wells ranged from essentially no change in well All-Ag 1 to a rise of 

approximately 12 feet in well Wa-Bh 3 near Hagerstown. The only well 

showing a decrease for the year is at Westernport, All-Da 1, with a net 

decline of about 0.5 foot.

NORTH CAROLINA

By M. J. Mundorff and H. E. LeGrand 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements, begun In 1931, was continued 

in 1948 in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Conservation 

and Development. The systematic survey of the ground-water resources of 

the State, begun in 1941, was also continued. The observation-well program 

in North Carolina includes 60 wells of which 7 are measured daily.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

In North Carolina the fluctuations of the water level correlate with 

precipitation, but the correlation is usually modified by several other 

factors. Because the water table is generally closer to the surface and 

the surflcial deposits are more permeable in the Coastal Plain, water table 

wells in that section generally respond much more quickly to rainfall than 

wells in the Piedmont.

With normal precipitation, the cycle of water-level fluctuations begin with a gradual rise starting, usually, sometime between November and 

January. The level generally continues to rise until April 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 ground-water level rises In late winter and spring because very 

little water is lost by evaporation or ia used by vegetation, so that a 

relatively large proportion of precipitation reaches the water table. Although the amount of rainfall Is larger during the summer months, the amount 

used by vegetation and evaporation Is so large that generally little or no

rainfall reaches the water table.

177
178 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

In 1948 the average rainfall at all D. S. Weather Bureau stations In 

the State was 59.22 Inches, 9.59 Inches above normal. Precipitation was 

below normal In 5 months, and was above normal in the other 7 months.

Fluctuations of the water level in most wells show B reasonably close 

correlation with rainfall, although the amount of the fluctuation for a 

given amount of rainfall varies greatly from season to season, as was noted 

above. In most wells the rise In water level occurs within a few hours to 

a few days after the rainfall, but In some wells there may be a time lag 

of several weeks to several months.

Of the 39 wells measured at the end of both 1947 and 1948, 25 showed 

a net gain and 13 a net loss. The usual decline in water levels occurred 

In August, September, and October, but unusually heavy rains during the 

latter part of November resulted in a general water-level rise near the end 

of the year.

The following table gives the highest and lowest level reached In some 

of the wells, the range In fluctuation, and the net gain or loss for the 

year.

Observation wells in the Piedmont section of North Carolina are all 

dug wells and obtain their water from the subsoil formed by weathering of 

rocks such as granite, gneiss, schist, and slate. The fluctuation of water 

in the wells reflects fluctuation of the water table. Despite already high 

water levels in these wells at the beginning of the year, the water levels 

rose generally during the first 5 to 6 months of the year. Of the 15 wells 

listed above in the Piedmont section, 6 reached their highest level in 

May, 2 in February, and 2 in April. The three reaching the highest level 

in November were attended by heavy November rains. The water level declined in most wells from June until November, at which time, because of 

heavy rainfall, most wells began a pronounced recovery.

Wells in the Coastal Plain include both shallow dug wells in which . 

the water level is a part of the water table, and deeper wells entering 

artesian aquifers, the water levels of which are points on the piezometric 

surface. The shallow wells usually respond quickly to precipitation, 

generally showing a rise after every rainfall of consequence. The wells 

in artesian aquifers, being some distance from the areas of recharge, 

generally do not show a correlation with individual rainfalls, but do show 

a seasonal trend.

The range in water level in artesian aquifers is generally slight except near areas of recharge and near areas where water is pumped from the 

same aquifer. Well 14, 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 0.84 foot in 1948.

Most of the artesian wells reached their highest levels for the year 

during December, January, and February,. Most of them reached their lowest 

levels during August and September.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program, begun in 1946, was continued through 

1948 in cooperation with the South Carolina Research, Planning and 

Development Board. Before this cooperative program was in effect there 

were intermittent measurements of observation wells from the period 1932 

; to 1945. An observation-well program in the Tiger River area (see WaterSupply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 907, 937, 945, and 987) was begun 

in 1932 in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Dept. of 

Agriculture. This was discontinued in 1942. Measurements were begun on 

an observation well in Poinsett State Park in September 1942 and were made 

until May 1944. Records on thia well were continued after 1946.

Measurements of water level were made on 17 observation wells in the 

Coastal Plain region during 1948, 3 water-table wells and 14 ar^«ralan. Of 

the 14 artesian wells, 6 reflected piezometric surface above land surface 

and 8 below land surface. Measurements were made monthly in most wells, 

intermittently in others. On the flowing artesian wells, measurements 

were made with a pressure gage. On the other wells, the water level was 

ascertained either by the wetted-tape or air-line columns. Five wells 

measured in 1947 were discontinued in 1948. Six wells were added during 

the year to the number of wells observed regularly. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Geologically, the State is divided almost exclusively into two areas, 

the Piedmont, or crystalline area, composed of deeply altered and weathered 

metamorphic rocks intersected by igneous intrusion, and the CoaetaL Plain 

province, consisting of gently dipping unconsolidated sands, claya, and 

marls. A small area in the extreme northwestern edge of the State lies 

within the Blue Ridge province. All of the wells measured during 1948 were

within the Coastal Plain region. 

194
SOUTH CAROLINA 195

Wells In the Piedmont derive their water either from the decomposed 

soil or saprolite of the crystalline rocks or from cracks, crevices, joints, 

and fault surfaces in these rocks. Water-table conditions prevail almost 

exclusively throughout the entire area and recharge to the ground-water 

storage is effected through rainfall. Fluctuations of the water table are 

affected by various factors, such as topographic location of the well with 

rjspect to surface drainage, lithology of the aquifer, evaporation, transpiration, runoff, and precipitation.

Wells in the Coastal Plain section utilize the sands, gravels, and 

limestones of Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments as aquifers. These 

sediments crop out in a belt almost southwest-northeast across the lower 

two-thirds of the State and have a gentle south, southeastern dip. Water 

Is added to the aquifer In the intake area by means of precipitation or 

influent stream action and moves down the permeable layers of the aquifer 

to build up a hydrostatic head down the dip of the formation. Fluctuations 

in the water-level or piezometric surfaces of wells in artesian aquifers in 

the Coastal Plain are generally of a much smaller magnitude than those of 

wells in the Piedmont or of water-table wells in the outcrop area of the 

Coastal Plain. From the data obtained, there does not appear to be a very 

close correlation of water levels with precipitation except on a general 

and time-lapse basis. The increase in storage due to increased precipitation is reflected in a correlative change of piezometric level only under 

certain conditions. This correlation can be affected so much by various 

factors such as the amount of water already held in storage, the rate of 

discharge or withdrawal from storage at that particular time, the evaporation and transpiration rate due to seasonal temperatures and vegetation, 

the Intake and catchment area supplying the well with water, and the amount 

of influent surface water being added to storage that the possibilities 

of any or all of these factors being of constant value over a period of 

change in precipitation are rather haphazard. In some instances a rather 

close correlation does appear for a time and it may be that the factors 

named above are nearly constant for that period of time. Thus, the piezometric surface of well 4, Sumter County, has a rather close correlation 

between its fluotnations and the accumulative rainfall departures Incident 

to Its catchment area around Columbia.
196 WHITER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATBS

The water levels in well 1, Berkeley County, likewise have some 

correlation with rainfall departures in the outcrop area but the high 

Increment of rainfall in May is not indicated in the water-level measurement, while that of November and December does reflect a correlative rise 

within a very short time.

The water level in well 1, Dorchester County, appears to reflect 

fairly well the corresponding rainfall increments in the intake areas of 

the Tascaloosa formation around Columbia.

The water-table well at Wedgefield has a fairly constant correspondence with the amount of precipitation in the area when transpiration and 

evaporation are taken into consideration. Normally the precipitation is 

greatest during July and August but the ground-water levels might be higher 

In winter or early spring because of the fact that evaporation and transpiration are taking a greater proportion of the precipitation during the 

summer months.

The average annual precipitation over the entire State for 1948 was 

59.25 inches, an excess of 11.35 Inches over the 61-year average. This is 

the third highest annual rainfall since 1887. November was the wettest 

month of the year and the wettest November since 1887 when climatologlcal 

records began. This is the second year in succession when rainfall in 

Movember set a new record.

The mean annual temperature was about normal or 63.1°.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements in selected observation wells 

in Memphis and in Shelby County was continued during 1948. This program 

is being carried on as a part of the investigation of the ground-water 

resources of the Memphis area in cooperation with the Memphis Light, Gas 

and Water Division.

During the year water-level measurements were made periodically in 42 

wells. About 984 tape measurements were made in 24 of the wells. For the 

remaining 18 wells, which were equipped with water-stage recorders, 151 

tape measurements and 5,164 lowest daily water levels, as determined from 

recorder charts, were tabulated. A total of 6,299 measurements is included 

in this report. Two observation wells were added to the program and the 

measurements in one well were discontinued.

PUMPAQB

It is estimated that the average daily quantity of water pumped during 

the year from the so-called "SOO-foot" sand was about 100 million gallons. 

This amount is about 10 million gallons a day more than the average daily 

withdrawals in 1947.

The average daily withdrawals from the lt l,400-foot lt sand are estimated 

to be about 11 million gallons, about 1 million gallons a day more than 

the average daily pumpage in 1947.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

In general, water levels in wells screened in the n 500-*foot n and 

"1,400-foot" sands continued to decline during 1948. Water levels in 21 

observation wells, screened in the "SOO-foot" sand and located within the 

city, ranged from 2.07 feet higher to 8.96 feet lower than the lowest 

levels during 1947. The average lowering, based on measurements made In 

these wells, was about 4 feet. In only one well did the measurements show 

no decline below the low of 1947.

TENNESSEE, SHELBT COUNTY 201

In five observation wells, screened In the same sand outside of the 

city and away from the areas of heavy pumping, the water levels ranged 

from 0.75 foot to 2.84 feet lower than the lowest levels of 1947. The 

average decline of the water level In these wells was nearly 2 feet.

Of 29 observation wells screened In the "500-foot" sand, the water 

level In only five did not decline below the previous low on record.

Water levels In the three observation wells, screened In the "1,400- 

foot" sand, ranged from 1.70 feet to 7.58 feet lower than the lowest 

levels of 1947. The average lowering of the water level within the city, 

based on measurements made In two wells, was about 7 feet. The water 

level In observation well 79;148-1D, outside of the city, reached a level 

1.7 feet below the low of 1947.

Figure 11 shows the hydrographs of water-level fluctuations in

three wells screened in the "500-foot" sand. The water levels in well

^

79:1-3, east of Memphis, and well 79:1-1, north of Memphis, probably reflect the effect of all the pumping In the area from the "500-foot" sand.

INTRODUCTION

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

cooperation with the Virginia Geological Survey, were continued in 1948. 

The wells included in one of these programs are in the northern part of 

the State, and those included in the other are in the southeastern part of 

the State. The two programs are discussed separately in this report.

The long-range program, a systematic study of the ground-water resources of the State, was carried forward.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart 

Program of work

All of the six observation wells in northern Virginia are in Arlington 

and Fairfax Counties, in the general vicinity of Washington, D. C. An 

automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on the Bacon well and measurements by the wetted-tape method were made weekly in the other wells. A 

total of about 312 individual measurements of water level was made during 

1948 by the wetted-tape method.

In addition to the six observation wells maintained in northern 

Virginia there are also two recording rain gages maintained In the area 

near Fairfax, near the headwaters of Difficult Run. These were serviced 

weekly and the charts were mailed to the U. S. Weather Bureau office at 

Albany for publication.^

At the request of the present owner of the property on which the Bell 

well is situated, a new well was augered 15 feet east of the old well and 

measurements were taken weekly in the new Bell well, beginning on March 

29. The last measurement in the old well was made on March 22. 

Fluctuations of water level

Inasmuch as the 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 1948, which are representative 

of the precipitation In the northern part of Virginia,-are given for each 

month and for the year In the following table.

It will be seen from the preceding table that the precipitation was 

14.15 Inches above normal In 1943 In contrast to the 1.77 Inches below 

normal precipitation recorded In 1947. This Increase In precipitation Is 

reflected In a substantial net rise In water levels In most of the wells 

In the northern Virginia area. The last comparable Increase In precipitation and net rise In water levels occurred In 1942 at which time the 

precipitation was 9,87 Inches above normal.

The following table has been compiled from data for 1948 on the six 

wells In northern Virginia. It shows the water level for each well In 

early January and late December, the highest and lowest levels during the 

year, the range In level, and the net change for the year.

As Indicated by this summary, the greatest rise In water level occurred 

In the Halls Hill well, In Arlington, where the water level was 7.32 feet

higher at the end of the year than at the beginning. The greatest range 

in fluctuation also occurred in this well where the difference between 

the highest and lowest stages was 7.97 feet. The average net rise for the 

four deepest wells, the Bacon, Halls Hill, Jefferson, and Ross wells, was 

5.095 feet which indicates a substantial increase in ground-water storage 

since December 1947. The highest water levels recorded during 1948 occurred atthe end of November in the Bell, Halls Hill, and Swart wells, at 

the end of the year in the Bacon and Jefferson wells, and during the 

second week of June in the Ross well. With the exception-of the Bacon and 

Swart wells, the lowest water levels recorded during 1948 in the other 

four wells occurred during the period January 1 to February 10. The lowest stage in the Bacon well occurred during the first week of October, and 

in the Swart well during the last week of July.

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA

By Alien Sinnott

Program of work

Periodic measurements of water levels in the eight observation wells 

in southeastern Virginia were continued In 1948. An additional observation 

well was established during the year on the Eastern Shore peninsula, In 

the extreme northeastern part of the Virginia coastal plain. The observation-well program is part of an investigation of the ground-water resources 

of the State being carried out in cooperation with the Virginia Geological 

Survey, William M. McGill, State Geologist.

At the end of the year, eight wells were being measured regularly, of 

which five are key wells included in the Nation-wide system of observation 

wells. Four of the wells were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders 

actuated by floats; generally, the depth to water level was also measured 

by means of a -,.»lghted tape once a week. A total of 273 measurements was 

made during 3 J4S.
VIRGINIA 227

The long-range program, a systematic study of the ground-water resources of the State, was carried forward. Bulletin 63 of the Virginia 

Geological Survey, "Geology and ground-water resources ofthe coastal plain 

In southeastern Virginia," by D. J. Cederstrom, was published In July. 

Fluctuations of water level 

Accomack County

Water levels on the Eastern Shore peninsula, based on measurements at 

a newly established observation well at the Chlncoteague Naval Auxiliary 

Air Station, have shown little change during the 10 months of record In 

1948 beginning In March. The total fluctuation was less than 1 foot during 

this period.

Chesterfield County (Petersburg area)

After an Interruption of 10 months, measurements were resumed on the 

Pllcher well near Petersburg Chesterfield County well 36. At the end of 

August 1948 the water level was 17.20 feet below land-surface datum, or 

about 1 foot below the level at the end of this month In 1947. There was 

a substantial rise toward the end of the year, the water level being 16.27 

feet below the surface on November 30, and 14.70 feet below the surface on 

January 4, 1949.

The rainfall at Richmond during 1948 was 10.49 Inches above normal. 

June was the only month which showed more than a slight deficiency, with 

a departure of -1.95 Inches. Only 3 months showed deficient rainfall 

compared with the normal} of the other 9 months, 8 showed positive departures of 1 Inch or greater. Rainfall for November and December was 3.22 

Inches, 1.00 Inch above normal, respectively, and Is reflected In the 

considerable rise In water level recorded In the Pllcher well during 

December.

Prince George County (Hopewell area)

Measurements of water levels were continued during 1948 at well 13, 

at the Old Dominion Water Corporation, In Hopewell. Artificial recharge, 

In order to store cold water underground for reuse during the warm summer 

months, was apparently not begun at the nearby Solvay Process Company 

before February 1948. The general water level averaged about 36 feet below 

the land surface during the first 4 months of the year, similar to the 

same period In 1947. The summer pumping season began on April 28 and
228 WATER LEVPLS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

during the ensuing 3 weeks the water level at well 13 declined from about 

39 feet to above 50 feet below land-surface datum. On October 21, the 

heavy pumping at the Solvay Process Company ceased, and the water level 

in well 13 began to rise from 50 feet below the surface to 37 feet by the 

end of November, remaining about at this level until the end of the year.

Sussex County

Weekly measurements of water levels in the Jeb S. White well, at 

Wakefield, in Sussex County, were continued in 1948. The total fluctuation was about 2^ feet. In general, the levels showed a decline of about 

1 foot compared with those of 1947, presumably reflecting heavy industrial 

withdrawals at Franklin, 20 miles to the south-southeast.

Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties (Franklin area)

Measurements were continued on well 161 in the Franklin area in Isle 

of Wight County during 1948. These measurements record a general decline 

of water levels below the corresponding levels of 1947. Thus, a level of 

20 feet below land surface was observed in the middle of April 1948, and 

remained at about that depth through October, whereaa in 1947 it reached 

20 feet below the surface only during mid-September. Even so, at the end 

of September recovery had been such that the water level was half a foot 

above that at the end of 1947.

Measurements during 1948 at the observation well owned by the city of 

Franklin showed that during the months of June through September water 

levels were as much as 2 feet below those of 1947; nevertheless, during 

the first 5 months, water levels were at times nearly 3 feet higher, and 

by December 1948 were about the same as those of December 1947.

Measurements were resumed on the Virginian Railway well, at Sebrell, 

In October 1948. The water level at this well was over 31 feet below land 

surface during the closing months of 1948, or about 1 foot below the 

levels in 1946, when the last measurements were made on this well. 

Warwick County (York-James peninsula)

Measurements were continued during 1948 on Milstead well 1, at Fort 

Eustis, in Warwick County, on the lower York-James peninsula. Water levels 

fluctuated within narrow limits, and during the first 7 months of the 

year were but little different from the corresponding levels of 1946. 

However, the levels reached their lowest since 1943 during September,
VIRGINA, PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY 229

following a sharp decline of 4 feet in August, caused by increased pumping 

of water for use in a swimming pool at the post during the summer months. 

Levels continued low during the fall months, but by December they had 

recovered so that at the end of the year they were half a foot above the 

1947 levels.

WEST VIRGINIA 

By R. L. Griggs 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The ground-water investigations in West Virginia, begun in 1941 in 

cooperation with the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, were 

continued in 1948. Water-level measurements in observation wells are a 

part of this program, and measurements were made during the year in 14 

observation wells at periodic or irregular intervals in 12 wells, and 

single measurements in 2 wells. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 2 wells during most of the year and on 1 well for all but a few 

days of the year. Measurements by the wetted-tape method were made in the 

other 11 wells. Of the 1,483 measurements given in this report, 1,160 were 

taken from recorder charts and 323 were tape measurements. 

OCCURRENCE OF GROUND WATER

Eight of the observation wells maintained during the year are drilled 

to artesian aquifers in bedrock. Six of these eight wells are drilled to 

sandstones of Pennsylvanian age, one well is drilled to a sandstone of 

Mississippian age, and one is drilled into beds of Permian age. Three 

other observation wells are in alluvium adjacent to the Ohio River, and 

another three are shallow water-table wells.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Variations in precipitation affect the fluctuations insignificantly in 

all or nearly all of the bedrock observation wells in the State. The 

fluctuations in these wells are related, apparently almost entirely, to the 

amount of water pumped from the aquifers to which these observation wells 

are drilled. As water is withdrawn from pumped wells, the artesian pressure falls and the water levels decxine. In most cases, the safe yield of 

the aquifers is not being exceeded and when the pumpage ceases or drops to 

a minimum the water levels recover. Well 42-4-1, which is drilled into

Pennsylvanian sandstone (Pottsville group) and is affected primarily by 

232
WEST VIRGINIA 233

pumpage at a nearby bottling and ice company, is a typical example. The 

water levels in this well decline during the summer and recover during the 

fall to approximately 23 to 24 feet below the land surface. At the end of 

1948 the water level was at approximately 23 feet below the land surface 

and slightly above average for the period of record (since 1942). Wells 

40-5-14, 9-6-45, and 11-3-8 behave similarly. Well 9-2-2 probably behaves 

similarly and well 9-6-1 possibly does also.

In the case of well 39-1-6A, there is good evidence that the safe yield 

of the Pennsylvanian sandstone or sandstones, which supply the town of 

Buffalo is being exceeded. This well is about 900 feet southwest of two 

closely spaced wells from which approximately 4 million gallons of water 

are pumped annually to supply this town. In 1947 the levels in well 

39-1-6A declined about 15 feet. In the early part of 1948 there was an 

additional decline of about 7 feet which was followed by a recovery of 

about 13 feet in the late winter and early spring. Then, between May 15 

and August, during a period of heavy pumpage at the nearby wells, the decline was rapid with the levels dropping over 16 feet, and, on August 21, 

a low for the period of record (since January 1947) was reached. Prom 

August to the end of the year the record is poor as the well is obstructed 

at a depth of 82 feet. However, it appears that the level has fluctuated 

some near this depth. In any event, it is probable that the town of buffalo 

will eventually have to augment its present source of supply.

'Well P-6-27, drilled to the Pottsville formation at Morgantown, reached 

a record high in June If48. Prom 1941, when measurements were first begun 

at this well, to the end of the pumping season in September 1945, water 

levels in this well indicated a general decrease of artesian pressure in 

the formation in the area. Prom the end of the pumping season in 1945 

to the beginning of the pumping season in 1948, the water level in the 

well rose over 60 feet. Hydrographs of the well during this period indicate a decrease in pumpage in the area during the latter period. The 

hydrograph for 1947 indicates that pumpage was very small in that year as 

compared to previous years. In 1948 there appears to have been only a 

moderate amount of pumpage in the area, and at the close of the year water 

levels in well 9-6-27 were at a near record high.
234 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1948, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Wells 27-3-20, 27-3-22, and 50-1-5 are In alluvium adjacent to the 

Ohio River. The two foncer wells are at Parkersburg, where approximately 

1,500 million gallons of water are pumped annually from the alluvium of 

the river valley. The water level in well 27-3-22 was at a low stage at 

the beginning of the year, and, though it was raised slightly by a rise in 

the Ohio River that occurred early in January, the level showed a net decline until February 12 when a low for the period of record was reached. 

Following this the levels rose due to high waters (near-flood conditions) 

that occurred in the river in mid-February and in the latter part of March. 

Later, in mid-April, a major flood occurred in the Ohio, which washed away 

the recorder shelter, and on May 9, when the first measurement was made 

following the flood, the water level reached a high for the period of 

record. Following this the river was in pool during most of the remainder 

of the year and the water levels in the well generally declined and were 

near normal as the year ended.

Well 50-1-5 is at Kenova in an unpumped area of the river alluvium. 

As the year began, the level in this well was below normal and continued 

below normal until late February; then, due to the high river stages that 

occurred in mid-February, the level began to rise and continued to rise 

until a high for the period of record was reached on April 23. During the 

rest of the year to about the middle of August the levels steadily declined 

after which they were rather steady and near normal for the remainder of 

the year.

Because of above-normal precipitation in 1948, levels in the three 

shallow water-table wells (9-6-46, 39-1-7, and 40-3-1) were at high stages 

during the year.
