WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1947

Part 4. SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

The rock formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs In whlcn 

a part of the water derived from rain and snow Is stored to supply wells 

and springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods of fair 

weather. Water levels In wells register the stages of these natural reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by drought 

or by heavy pumping, whether for public water works, Irrigation, or Industrial uses, and the extent to which they are replenished In seasons of 

abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes In pressure recorded on 

flowing wells Indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey 

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure In the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935 and has 

continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published 

In a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 the records 

have been published in six volumes, covering the northeastern, southeastern, 

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of 

the country. Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. (See fig. 1.) 

The following table gives the numbers of these reports. This series of 

water-supply papers is In a sense an inventory,, year by year, of the groundwater supplies in such parts of the country as have been covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the south-central States and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,415 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana, 

Oklahoma, and Texas. Of these wells, 45 are equipped with automatic waterstage 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 and a brief identifying description are given in this report. The 

numbers in parentheses immediately following a well number are those of the 

water-supply papers in which earlier records of that well are given and the 

pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of 

the well is given in the paper whose number is so marked. This report includes about 5,900 individual determinations of water level and artesian 

pressure.

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, it had been considered inadvisable to 

adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and artesian heads 

until after a period of trial with datum planes of different kinds. In
INTRODUCTION 3

1943, however, it was decided that uniform practice should be adopted. Accordingly, precise datum planes were established approximating the land 

surface at each well. The water levels and artesian heads for all wells 

listed in this report are given in reference to land-surface datum planes.

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 1947. The shaded section represents the 

part of the country covered by this volume.

If the 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. Wherever the conversion factor is given in earlier reports it is not 

repeated in this report. New data as to the positions of the measuring 

point and of the bench marks, in feet above or below land-surface datum 

planes, will be published in succeeding annual reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected because 

the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be- typical and they
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

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

in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1947 the network included 

about 160 wells in 45 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942 and about 20 were established in 1943; the 

other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly in connection with 

cooperative ground-water investigations. The coverage of the country is 

still far from adequate, and it is expected that some wells not now included 

will be added to the network from time to time.

Changes in ground-water level in 1947 in the south-central part of the

United States

Precipitation in all four of the States in the south-central section 

of the country was below normal during 1947. The fluctuations of both 

water level and artesian pressure in wells depend, however, on many factors 

besides the amount of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells 

there are fluctuations caused by differences 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.

GRAND PRAIRIE RB3IOH 

By J. H. Criner

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of depth to water levels in wells of the Grand Prairie 

region were made in April 1947 in cooperation with the State Agricultural 

Experiment Station and the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. The measurements 

were made by Professor Kyle Engler and p. A. Hewitt. These measurements 

have been made annually for the past 21 years, the first measurement having 

been made in September 1927 in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological 

Survey.

The Grand Prairie region of Arkansas comprises Arkansas County, large 

parts of Lonoke and Prairie Counties, and small parts of Jefferson and 

Monroe Counties. Rice is extensively cultivated in the region- A large 

proportion of the water used for rice irrigation is taken from wells, most 

of which tap water-bearing material of Quaternary age. A discussion of the 

conditions affecting the ground-water resources of the region, and an account of the early pumping operations and their effect on the general 

ground-water level are given in an earlier report." Later reports bring 

these records up to date and include the records of other wells as measurements in them are begun. In June 1945 a comprehensive report summarizing 

all of the work done in the cooperative investigations was published by the 

University of Arkansas."

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level in the wells in the region are caused, 

in part, by differences in natural recharge and discharge from the aquifer. 

The water levels in nearly all wells in the region fluctuate as a result

of changes In atmospheric pressure; this may be as much as 0-8 foot In 

24 hours and 1 foot In a few days. Corrections for changes In atmospheric 

pressure can be made and are necessary to make accurate comparisons of 

water levels at different times. Measurements given In this paper have not 

been corrected for atmospheric changes. In the extreme southeastern 

portion of the region some fluctuation of water levels Is probably caused 

by differences In the stage or the White River.

Changes in water levels are also caused by pumping. The water levels 

tend to stand highest in the spring Just before the Irrigation pumping 

commences, then decline during the period of pumping, the rate of decline 

being fairly large at first, then decreasing. Local differences in water 

level are caused by differences In pumping. After pumping ceases the 

water levels rise, fairly rapidly at first, then at a decreasing rate and, 

by spring, tend to stand near the levels of the previous spring. The trend 

of water level or artesian head from year to year may be determined by 

annual measurements made in the spring as late as possible before pumping 

for Irrigation Is begun. In some years measurements of water level were 

made in the fall but then the general trend of water levels may be masked 

by local Irregularities due to differences In pumping. Water levels were 

not measured in the fall of 1947.

Well 280, In the Grand Prairie region, is equipped with an automatic 

water-stage recorder, and measurements of the water level are given at the 

times the recorder charts were changed, which was generally once a week. 

A continuous record of water-level fluctuations In this well has been 

obtained since August 1928.

Ashley County 

A program of annual spring water-level measurements In rice-land

Irrigation wells In Ashley County was started In 1946. The program was 

continued In 1947 in cooperation with the city of Crossett and the University of Arkansas, Bureau of Research. The rice land irrigated with 

ground water Increased from 200 acres in 1942,using water from 1 well, 

to 1,80O acres in 1946, using water from 9 wells, and then to -§,400 acres 

in 1947, using water from 20 wells.

There are three areas In Ashley County devoted chiefly to growing 

rice. The largest area is in Pine Prairie, about 8 miles northeast of 

Hamburg. Another area is about 4.5 miles southwest of Hamburg, and the 

other extends northwest from Hamburg for about 5 miles.

PROGRAM OP WORK

A State-wide program of ground-water investigations in Louisiana was 

begun in May 1938 in cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Conservation. An expansion of the program was made possible in 1943 when the 

Louisiana Department of Public Works also entered into cooperation with the 

Geological Survey. The observation of water levels in selected wells is an 

important part of this program.

Observations of water level were made in 280 key wells in 29 parishes 

in 1947. Automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 37 of these 

wells for at least a part of the year, enabling more reliable interpretation of measured water-level fluctuations. Of the recorders operated on 

Key wells, 22 were of the weekly type and 15 of the continuous type. A 

total of 1,856 individual measurements was made in those wells not equipped 

with recorders.

Measurements were made at quarterly intervals in 123 wells, at monthly 

intervals in 26 wells, at weekly intervals in 8 wells, and in the remainder 

at irregular intervals. All measurements were made by members of the technical staff of the Federal Geological Survey with the exception of those 

for well Sc-6, at Norco, which are obtained through the cooperation of the 

officials of the Shell Oil Company.

During the early part of the year the investigational program was 

directed toward the solution of the public water-supply problem at Oakdale. 

During the summer the focus of investigations shifted to the rice-farming 

area of southwestern Louisiana. A report on the ground-water conditions in 

the Monroe area was published in July by the Louisiana Department of Conservation as Geological Bulletin 24.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Northern Louisiana. In order to keep an acjcurate record of the fluctuations of water level in the vicinity of Monroe, automatic water-stage 

recorders were placed in operation on 2 unused wells and periodic measurements of water level were made on 12 other wellsj. The record indicates 

little change in the water level from previous years. Investigations of 

water-supply problems and observations of water levels were continued in 

the Bastrop area, in Morehouse Parish, and in the Springhill area, in 

Webster Parish. Indications are that the ground-water conditions are not 

improving and the problem continues to be very critical in both areas. The 

heavy withdrawals of water from the deeper sands (890 feet) at Bastrop 

caused a steady decline of water level in a period of 1 year from 147 feet 

to 154 feet below land surface in well Mo-9.

Observations of water level in an unused well of the Southern Advance 

Bag and Paper Company, at Hodge, in Jackson Parish, where more than 5 

million gallons of water are pumped from wells each day, were made through 

use of a continuous automatic water-stage recorder- Because of the heavy 

pumping of a nearby well, water level has not recovered to the level of 

previous years, as shown by the hydrograph, figure 4.

Central Louisiana- During 1947 .a total of 92 measurements of water 

level was made in Grant, LaSalle, Natchitoches, and Rapides Parishes. Water 

levels in wells in the Alexandria area, in Rapides Parish, which tap the 

"1,100-foot " sand, the principal aquifer, showed a steady decline in the 

summer months and later in the year a marked recovery, as indicated by the 

hydrograph, figure 3. As a result of the deactivation of nearby army camps, 

which resulted in decreased municipal water demands, the water level in this 

aquifer has not declined to the low stage reached in the war years. Records 

for an observation well at Colfax, In Grant Parish, showed that the piezometric surface of water in a Miocene sand, which is tapped by a municipal 

well, has recovered gradually during the year from 76 feet to 71 feet below 

land surface.

Observations of water level in a well in the Natchitoches area, which 

taps a Wilcox sand suppling about one-third of the public water supply of 

that city, indicate that the artesian pressure head has dropped from a low 

of 21.2 feet in 1946 to a low of 20.6 feet in 1947.

Southwestern Louisiana. During 1947, 1,407 measurements were made In 

169 wells in 12 parishes in southwestern Louisiana. The observation-well 

program in this area continued on a broad scale to enable preparation of 

piezometric maps of water in the Pleistocene sands and gravels tapped by 

wells which, in 1947, pumped about 480,000 acre-feet of water. Wells 

irrigate about 44 percent of the rice acreage in this area. Water levels 

in key wells showed a sharp decline during the pumping season and reached 

the lowest point on record, as indicated by the hyirograph, figure 5.

Water levels in wells which tap the "500-foot" sand in the Lake 

Charles industrial area showed a marked decline in the summer months and 

dropped to the lowest level on record. Declines were the result of heavy 

withdrawal from wells at the Cities Service Company refinery and Butadeine 

plant, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company plant, the Continental Oil 

Company refinery, the I.lathieson Alkali Plant, and the Southern Alkali 

Company plant, and also from wells in nearby rice-irrigation areas. The 

water levels in the "700-foot" sand, which is tapped by fewer industrial 

wells but supplies the entire municipal needs of the city of Lake Charles, 

showed a sharp decline in the latter part of the summer and failed to recover completely later in the year. In previous years it has recovered 

fully, as shown on hydrograph, figure 3.

Southeastern Louisiana. The observation-well program in southeastern 

'Louisiana continued on a limited scale during 1947. A total of 267 measurements was made in 66 wells in 8 parishes, and automatic water-stage recorders were operated in 10 wells in East Baton Rouge Parish, 1 well in St. 

Charles Parish and 1 well in Orleans Parish during the year.

Although the water levels in key wells tapping the A-l ("400«-foot") 

and A-2 ("600-foot") sands in the Baton Rouge area did not recover to the 

levels reached in the spring of 1946, the decline of water levels in the 

summer and fall months was not as pronounced. This is shown on the composite of hydrographs, figure 7.

Officials of the industrial plants at Baton Rouge indicated in 1945 

that attempts might be made to tap the sands and gravels of Recent age 

which underlie the flood plain of the Mississippi River. Records for 

existing wells both east and west of the river at Baton Rouge show the 

aquifer to be highly permeable, end the water temperature, 67 degrees

Fahrenheit, makes the water ideal for cooling purposes where quality Is 

not too Important. Observations of water level were begun in one well, 

EB-242, to determine the fluctuation which occurs in wells which tap this 

aquifer. The hydrographs, figure 9, show that the fluctuations in wells 

bear a close relationship to the stage of the Mississippi.River.

An average daily withdrawal of about 16 million gallons of water from

*

wells at the Shell Oil refinery at Norco, in St.. Charles Parish, has resulted In an accelerated decline in water levels. Records for well Sc-6 

Indicate an average decline of about; 2-| feet a year from 1945 through 1946, 

and a decline of about 12 feet in 1947. The hydrograph, figure 10, 

illustrates this condition.

Artesian pressures of key flowing wells in southeastern Louisiana 

showed small declines in 1947, probably due to a prolonged dry period 

during the spring and summer, which resulted in greater withdrawals for 

Irrigation of the truck crops grown in the area.

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program in Oklahoma, which was begun in 1934, was 

continued through 1947 in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey 

and the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College.

In the Stillwater Creek Basin, Payne County, where the first systematic observations of water level in Oklahoma were begun in cooperation with 

the Soil Conservation Service, the observation-well program was continued 

in cooperation with Dr. H. J. Harper, head of the Department of Agronomy of 

the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. Dr. M. J. Plice, also of 

Department of Agronomy, who has served as voluntary well observer since 

1940, made 108 measurements of water level in 1947.

Measurements in an irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton Sub-1 

station near Tipton, Tillman County, started in 1944, were continued in 

1947 through the courtesy of I. M. Parrott, superintendent. The substation 

is operated by the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and the 

United States Department of Agriculture.

The rest of the observation-well program was conducted in cooperation 

with the Oklahoma Geological Survey. It includes observations in the 

Panhandle, begun in 1937; Cleveland County, begun in 1939; the North 

Canadian River Valley (Canadian, Blaine, Major, Woodward, and Harper Counties) begun in 1940; Oklahoma and McClain Counties, begun in 1943; Caddo 

County, begun in 1945; Grady, Ellis, and Custer Counties, begun in 1946; 

and Comanche, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger Mills, and Washita Counties, begun in 

1947. The locations of the observation wells are shown in figure 11.

Brief descriptions of the topography, geology and ground-water conditions of the parts of Oklahoma covered by the observation-well program have 

been published in previous water-supply papers of this series as follows: 

Stillwater Creek Basin, 777; the Panhandle, 840 and 845; Cleveland County,

Grady, Ellis and Ouster Counties, 1074; and Comanche, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger 

Mills, and Washita Counties are described in this report.

During 1947, a total of 1,430 tape measurements of water level were 

made in 179 wells, and automatic water-stage recorders were operated in 3 

wells. Altogether, 195 wells are listed on pages that follow, including 

14 that were added to the program during tha year. Observations were discontinued in three wells after several measurements had been made, and in 

nine others without measurements having been made in 1947. Three wells 

were retained on the active list, although they w.ere not measured during 

the year. Measurements were resumed in one well in Canadian County. Another well in the same county, destroyed in 1946 and reported as discontinued, was replaced by a new well on the opposite side of the road. The

number of active wells at the end of 1947 was 183.

The observation wells in Cleveland County and Beaver County well 528

were measured weekly, as was Tillman County well 1, except during periods 

of heavy pumping for irrigation. Measurements w.ere made monthly in Payne, 

Caddo, Oklahoma and Grady Counties through the year and in McClain County 

until the end of July. The wells usually considered as representative of 

ground-water conditions in the North Canadian Valley were measured from 3 

to 13 times, the freauency depending partly on accessibility. Most of the 

wells in Canadian County were measured three or four times. A few, however, 

were measured only once or twice, and some were measured more often, the 

maximum in any well being 13. The wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle were measured once or twice, except Beaver County well 528 and Texas County well 

228. The latter was measured about once a week beginning late in April, by 

Charles R. Haddock, hydraulic engineer of the surface water branch of the 

Geological Survey. The other observation wells in Oklahoma were measured 

at irregular intervals, the number of measurements ranging from two to seven.

PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation in the State of Oklahoma in 1947 was 31.51 

inqhes, which "was 1.42 inches below the 56-year average." It was "96 percent of the 56-year average, and ranged from 92 percent of normal in the 

Eastern Division to 99 percent in the Western Division." Despite this near 

approach to normal for the year, the precipitation was not evenly distributed, it was "below normal from June through October," and "the late
78 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

summer drought was especially severe in the northwest where precipitation 

from August through October averaged less than 30 percent of normal....the 

least annual amount was 15.78 inches at Kenton."

The precipitation at four stations in the Oklahoma Panhandle averaged 

IP.07 inches, which is about 0.98 inch above the normal for the area based 

on the average for Beaver, Hooker, and Kenton. The precipitation was 3.63 

and 2.31 inches above average at Beaver and Hooker, respectively, but was 

1.33 inches below average at Kenton.

At Stillwater the precipitation for 1947 was 27.40 inches, which is 

5.95 inches below average, whereas at Oklahoma City it was 36.50 inches, 

which is 5.35 inches above average. An average for Tipton, in Tillman

County, has not been established by the Weather Bureau, but the total pre2/ 

cipitation of 30.92 inches in 1947 is 3.55 inches above the average for

nearby Frederick.

Precipitation at Chickasha was 28.83 inches in 1947, or 1.98 inches 

below average. It was above average only in 4 months, April, May, October, 

and November. At Marlow and Anadarko the precipitation was 33.14 and 31.39 

inches, respectively, or 0.21 inch and 3.09 inches above average.

For seven stations along the North Canadian River Valley, from Oklahoma 

City to Supply, the precipitation in 1947 ranged from 21.81 to 36.50 inches 

and averaged 26.56 inches, which is 0.95 inch below normal. Some stations 

received an excess of precipitation, while at others there was a deficiency. 

At Supply precipitation was 5.70 inches above average, whereas at Geary it 

was 6.57 inches below average.

Precipitation in Canadian County is represented by the stations at El 

Reno and Fort Reno, which had 25.90 and 26.03 inches respectively, or 2.79 

and 3.99 inches below average.

PUMPAGE

Records of ground-water pumpage in Oklahoma are best for the panhandle 

counties, from which reports of municipal pumpage for the larger towns are 

furnished regularly through the courtesy of the Southwestern Public Service 

Company. The total pumpage for seven towns in the panhandle was about'25 

percent greater in 1947 than in 1946. Including the estimated pumpage

acre-feet.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL 

Panhandle

In the panhandle (Beaver, Texas, and Cimarron Counties), the water 

levels in the Ogallala formation, which is the most important aquifer in 

the area, continued the general rise that began in 1941, and reached new 

high stages. Compared with the levels of October 1946, the average water 

level for October 1947 was 1.09 feet higher in Beaver County, 0.74 foot 

higher in Texas County, and 0.12 foot higher in Cimarron County. The 

October level in Beaver and Texas Counties was the highest in the 10 years 

of record, but in Cimarron County the average level for April 1947 was the 

highest recorded, being 0.08 foot above the October level.

The weighted average water levels, in which the behavior of the water 

levels in all aquifers is considered, likewise were at high stages in 1947. 

In Beaver and Cimarron Counties the highest level for the year and for the 

period of record was reflected in the measurements in April, but in Texas 

County the highest level was recorded in October. The highest weighted 

average for the panhandle as a whole was recorded in October, but it was 

only about 0.03 foot above the April level.

The record obtained from an automatic water-stage recorder that was 

operated in Texas County well 188 from late May until the end of the year 

suggests that changes in barometric pressure are responsible for some of 

the water-level fluctuations. Between August 30 and September 4, the water 

level in the well rose each day to a peak in late afternoon or early evening and then declined to a low level at about 6 a.m. (fig. 12 ). This daily 

fluctuation in water level probably can be traced to fluctuations in barometric pressure induced by changes in air temperature. As air becomes warm 

 or hot, as it normally does by afternoon in the panhandle about September 

1 it expands and becomes lighter, and the barometric pressure declines. 

In wells tapping confined water, or in wells reaching the water table at 

such depths that the changes in barometric pressure are transmitted less 

freely through the formation than down the well, an increase in barometric 

pressure forces the water down and out through the well screen into the formation. Conversely, a decrease in barometric pressure permits the water to

rise in the well. The water level rose in the afternoon when air temperatures were highest and barometric pressures were least; it declined during 

the night when the cooling air became denser and heavier.

The maximum amplitude of fluctuation in water level shown by the record for August 30-September 4 is about 0.2 foot. The small range and the 

regularity indicate that atmospheric conditions were fairly stable except 

for the effects of temperature. Apparently no major etmospheric disturbances visited the locality. Greater amplitude and less regularity are 

illustrated by the record for May 29-June 3, when an over-all fluctuation 

of about 0.55 foot occurred. At that season the variable weather of spring 

is still more or less prevalent, and passing storms probably brought fluctuations of barometric pressure that caused part or all of" the water-level 

fluctuation. The diurnal range in temperature, being smaller, produced 

only a small effect in barometric pressure, which was mostly masked out.

As a continuous record of barometric pressure near the observation 

well is not available for comparison with the hydrographs, it is not possible unequivocably to attribute all of the water-level fluctuations to 

changes in barometric pressure, but it appears reasonable that a part of 

them can be. It is evident, therefore, that individual tape measurements 

of water levels are not dependable to 0.01 foot for indicating changes in 

ground-water storage. Nevertheless, the average of all the water levels 

in the panhandle, and even those for the counties individually, seems to be 

significant. Otherwise, no general rise of average water levels over the 

past 10 years would be evident. Instead, there would be only a baffling 

succession of ups and downs.

The following tables summarize the average water levels for the several groups of wells in the Oklahoma Panhandle. They continue the record of 

averages in similar tables published in previous water-supply papers of 

this series. An asterisk indicates that the water level is the highest 

observed during the period of record, and two asterisks indicate the lowest.

North Canadian River Valley

The water levels in 13 wells in Canadian, Blaine, Major, Woodward, 

Harper, and Beaver Counties have been selected as representative of groundwater conditions in the alluvium of the North Canadian River between Yukon 

and the town of Beaver. Most of these wells are close to the channel and 

their water levels reflect the stages in the river. For the year ending 

October 31 they showed an average net decline of 2.45 feet, and in individual wells the depline ranged from 0.96 foot to 6.21 feet. In only two wells 

were the water levels for October 1947 higher than for October 1946, and 

these two are farther from the channel than most. Harper County well 1 is 

about 0.5 mile from Kiowa Creek near its conflusnce with the North Canadian 

River, and in it the water level showed a net rise of 1.51 feet. Beaver 

County well 628 is 4.7 miles northwest of Harper County well 1, is about 

3.3 miles from Klowa Creek and only about 0.6 mile from the North Canadian 

River, and in it the net rise of water level was 0.14 foot.
OKLAHOMA 83

High stagers were recorded in April in seven wells; in May, in four 

wells; in July, in two wells; and in February, in one well. However, the 

highest water level recorded is not necessarily the highest that may have 

been reached. The wells showing maximum stages in May were the only ones 

measured that month. If measurements had been made in May in the other 

wells, higher stages for those wells might have been recorded.

Woodward wells 1 and 2 were dry beginning about the end of August. 

In five wells the lowest water levels were recorded in October; in one well 

the lowest was in November; in five wells the lowest was in December; and 

in one well the same low level was recorded in both October and December.

Caddo County

During 1947, the water levels in Caddo County well 1, which taps water 

in the Rush Springs sandstone, fluctuated through a narrow range of only 

0.74 foot. The highest water level was recorded on January 28, and the 

lowest on October 1.

Wells 2 and 3 are driven wells penetrating the alluvium of the Washita 

River near the channel and both were constructed in the summer of 1947 by 

the Geological Survey. Well 2 is south of Port Cobb, and five measurements 

were made .in it, the highest level being recorded on August 19 and the lowest on October 1. The range in fluctuation was 1.65 feet. Well 3 is east 

of Carnegie, and two measurements were made in it, the water level of July 

17 being 3.87 feet higher than the level recorded October 28.

Canadian County

The Canadian County observation wells are all in the North Canadian 

River Valley except well G-53, which is in the Canadian River Valley south 

of Union. The wells were measured as a group four times during 1947, in 

January, April, July, and December. In addition, four of the wells the 

three north of Yukon, and well G-53 were measured monthly and the fluctuations of the water level in them are probably representative. The water 

levels fluctuated very little during the first 3 months, rose sharply during April and May in response to heavy rains and increased stream flow, and 

then declined throughout the remainder of the year until December, when 

precipitation was high enough to cause a slight rise. At the end of the 

year, water levels were about 0.5 foot to 1.5 feet lower than at the beginning of the year.
84 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

Cleveland County

Cleveland County well 1 Is on a high terrace above the Canadian River. 

It penetrates a thin terrace deposit of low permeability that contains 

water only part of the time, and It enters the Hennessey shale, which Is 

the only 'contributing aquifer when the water table declines below the 13- 

foot level. As pumpage from these aquifers Is negligible, the water level 

fluctuates In response to natural causes, promptly reflecting precipitation 

once the soil moisture has been replenished after drought. Prom January 

through April 10, the water level in this well declined 1.14 feet, then it 

rose 5.19 feet by April 30. In the first 8 days of May it declined 1.41 

feet, only to rise 4.27 feet to.the highest recorded level for the year 

only 2.83 feet below the land surface--on May 22. In the last 9 days of 

May it declined 1.26 feet, but on June 2 had risen to within 0.04 foot of 

the previous high stage. Thereafter it declined until the end of December, 

when it was 0.37 foot below the stage recorded at the end of December 1946.

Wells 14 and 15 tap water in alluvium and closely related terrace deposits on the east side of the Canadian River. Prom January 1 until March 

21, the water level in well 14 declined 1.84 feet. Then it rose 4.75 feet 

so that on April 17 it was only 1.23 feet below the land surface. After 

declining 2.09 feet, it rose 2.20 feet to a stage only 1.12 feet below the 

land surface on May 22. Even this stage was exceeded on June 2, when the 

water was only 1.04 feet below the surface. Thereafter, the water Ifevel 

declined irregularly 8.10 feet to the low stage of the year, reached on 

October 22, and rose again 0.21 foot to end the year 4.04 feet lower than 

near the end of 1946. In well 15 the measurements were begun on June 5, 

and the highest level for the year was recorded on June 24, when the water 

was only 2.97 feet below the surface. The water level promptly fell to 

5.99 feet below the surface by June 30, and during the last half of the year 

it roughly paralleled the. trend in well 14. The lowest stage was recorded 

on October &, and was followed by a rise of 1.22 feet, so that on December 

26 the water level was 4.06 feet below the initial recorded level.

The water levels in the deep wells tapping water in sandstones of the 

Garber and Wellington formations are affected by pumping by the city of 

Norman, the University of Oklahoma, Central State Hospital, and others. In 

well 4, in the Norman city park near the center of the heavily pumped area,
OKLAHOMA 85

the water level fluctuated through a range of 38 feet, and at the end of 

the year was nearly 18 feet below the level of the previous December 1946, 

thus cancelling, all but 15 feet of the net rise registered during 1946. In 

well 10, on the main campus of the university, the range of fluctuation was 

a little over 18 feet, and a net rise of 1.55 feet for the year was recorded. In both wells the water levels reached their highest stage in April 

and their lowest in September.

Of the wells farther from the center of heavy pumping, well 5 affords 

the best index of trends in ground-water levels, because an automatic waterstage recorder was operated in it throughout the year. It is 5.5 miles east 

of Norman, and showed a water-level fluctuation of 4.92 feet (based on the 

lowest daily reading), with a peak level attained on June 9, a minimum level 

on November 3, and a net rise of 0.98 foot for the year.

In wells 6, 11, and 12 the water levels fluctuated through 2.68, 4.48, 

and 6.35 feet, respectively, and showed net i^&ina of 2.77, 3.30, and 1.75 

feet. In well 9 the water level fluctuated through a range of 7.13 feet 

and showed a net decline of 0.61 foot. In well 13 the measurements were 

made only until October, when a stage was reached 3.20 feet above that for 

the nearest comparable date in 1946.

Well 8 is only 57 feet from the public-supply well of the town of Noble, 

and in it the water level fluctuates widely in response to pumping. In 1947 

the supply well was generally pumping when the measurements were made, but 

the lowest level recorded was more than 5 feet higher than the lowest recorded in 1946.

Comanohe County

Comanche County is in southwestern Oklahoma, and is bounded by Kiowa, 

Caddo, Grady, Stephens, Cotton, and Tillman Counties. The Wichita Mountains 

extend from near Lawton, the county seat, toward the northwest corner. In 

them pre-Cambrian granite and gabbro are exposed. Ridges flanking the mountains on their northeast side expose formations of Cambrian and Ordovician 

age, among which the Arbuckle limestone is prominent. The ground-water resources of the Arbuckle limestone are largely unproved in and immediately 

adjacent to the areas of outcrop because the demand for water has not been 

great enough to encourage much drilling. In and near Lawton, however, many 

wells reaching the Arbuckle limestone at depths down to 2,000 feet are reported, and some of them have flowed at rates ranging from S3 to 1,400
86 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PHBSSUEE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

gallons per minute. The water is unusually soft compared with most waters 

taken from limestone formations, but contains fluoride in amounts up to 11 

parts per million, which is an objectionable concentration. In emergencies, 

the city of Lawton has set pumps at depths of 600 to 800 feet in some of 

these wells and has pumped them at rates up to 600 gallons per minute.

Except for about three townships in the northeast, where formations 

ranging from the Duncan sandstone to the Rush Springs sandstone crop out, 

the undulating to rolling plains surrounding the mountains are underlain by 

the Clear Fork and Wichita formations, of Permian age. These consist of 

red and gray shale, from which only small supplies of water normally can be 

obtained, interbedded with fine-grained, lenticular, red and gray sandstones, which yield water only a little more freely. The alluvium along 

West Cache Creek and smaller streams affords small to moderate local supplies 

o'f ground water.

Well 1 is a flowing well, reported to be 735 feet deep, which taps 

water in the Arbuckle limestone. It was measured twice in 1947, the water 

level in August being 0.68 foot lower than in October. Well 2 is only 9 

feet deep, and may tap water in the very thin alluvium of a shallow draw, 

or perhaps it encounters water in both the alluvium and the underlying 

bedrocks. It was measured three times in 1947, the record showing that the 

water level declined 0.46 foot between July 16 and October 19.

Ouster County

Six measurements were made in Ouster County well 1, which taps water 

in the alluvium of the Washita River. The water level rose 3.88 feet between late February and mid-July, and then declined 1.84 feet by mid-October 

when, however, it was 2.02 feet above the initial water level of October 9, 

1946.

Ellia County

The water levels in the observation wells in Ellis County were measured 

from three to six times in 1947 in February, April, July, August, October, 

and December. la wells 1-4, which begin on the upland plain, the recorded 

fluctuations ranged from 0.66 foot to 2.27 feet. The most complete record 

is for well 1, in which the water level reached its lowest recorded stage 

for the year in October, although this stage was only 0.01 foot below those 

recorded for April and July. The highest level for the year in this well
OKLAHOMA 87

was reached In December. No measurements were obtained In well 2 after 

August, when the lowest level for the year was recorded. Likewise, none 

were obtained in well 3 after July, when the highest level for the year was 

recorded. In well 4, the lowest level was recorded in July and the highest 

in December. The December water levels in wells 1 and 4 were 1.41 and 2.25 

feet, respectively, higher than the levels for December 1946.

Well 6 is a driven well penetrating the alluvium of Wolf Creek. After 

the initial measurement on July 12, the water level declined 0.81 foot in 

a month and reached its lowest recorded level for'the year 0.01 foot lower on October 19. Prom that level it had risen 0.53 foot by December 31.

Grady County

Of the 14 observation wells in Grady County, 1 taps water in the alluvium of the Washlta River and the rest tap water in the Rush Springs sandstone or in alluvium that receives underflow from the Rush Springs. Well 

34 was measurable only in April and Hay, well 4 could not be measured after 

July, and well 7 was not measured early in December. Therefore, the number 

of water-level measurements in wells in the Rush Springs sandstone ranged 

from 10 to 12 a month. Comparison of the water-level fluctuations in artesian wells with those in water-table wells indicated no significant difference, and therefore all were averaged together.

The average water level was generally low throughout the year. During 

January, February, and March the precipitation was below normal, and the 

water levels declined an average of 0.33 foot. Through April, Hay, June, 

and July, the rainfall ranged from normal to substantially above normal, 

and the water levels in the observation wells rose an average of 0.22 foot. 

Hot weather and subnormal rainfall in August and September resulted in an 

average decline of 0.70 foot in ground-water levels. Although rainfall 

through October, November, and December was about normal, it was enough only to partially check the downward trend initiated in preceding months, and 

the net change for the 3 months was a decline of 0.03 foot.

The fluctuations of water level were greater in the alluvium. In well 

45, which begins on the flood plain of the Washita River, the range in fluctuation was 7.54 feet, the highest level being recorded in May and the lowest in September.

Harper. County

Harper County well 1 penetrates alluvium and the water-level fluctuations in it have been mentioned in the discussion of the North Canadian 

River Valley. In well 2, which begins in sand dunes and may enter underlying Tertiary rocks, the water level fluctuated through a range of 2.65 feet. 

The highest water level was recorded on July 11 and the lowest on April 22.

Jackson County

Jackson County is in southwestern Oklahoma and is bounded on the west 

by Harmon County, on the north by Greer County, on the east by Kiowa and 

Tillman Counties, and on the south by the State of Texas. Altus, the county seat, is a few miles northeast of the middle of the county.

Except for small inliers of pre-Cambrian granite in knobs and peaks 

rising a few hundred feet above bhe plains in the east-central part of the 

county, the rock formations underlying the surface are shale, fine-grained 

sandstone, and gypsum, of Permian age, or alluvium, of Quaternary age. Of 

the Permian formations, the Clear Pork and HVichita in the eastern half of 

the county contain some lenticular layers of fine-grained sandstone that 

will yield small to moderate supplies of water; the Chickasha and Duncan, 

in the central part, are similar in character and may be expected to yield 

small supplies of ground water; and the Blaine, in the western half of the 

county, yields 1,000 gallons a minute locally, as at Duke, apparently from 

soDution openings in the layers of gypsum that are bedded with the shale. 

The water from the Blaine, however, .is rather highly mineralized for human 

use although satisfactory for irrigation.

Alluvium occurs along the streams. The observation well in Jackson 

County taps water in the alluvium of the North Pork of Red River about 2 

miles east of Keadrick, near the middle of the east boundary of the county. 

Measurements of water level were begun in it in June. The lowest level was 

recorded on August 29, and the highest on October 19, the difference between them being 1.00 foot.

Kiowa County

Kiowa County is in southwestern Oklahoma, being bounded on the north 

by Washita County, on the east by Caddo and Comanche Counties, on the south 

by Tillman County, and on the west by Jackson and Greer Counties. The 

county seat, Hobart, is in the north-central part.
OKLAHOMA 89

Pre-Cambrian granite and gabbro crop out in peaks and ridges of the 

Wichita Mountains in the southern half of the county; the Arbuckle limestone and associated formations, of Cambrian and Ordovician age, crop out 

in ridges in the east-central part of the county, flanking the main granitic 

peaks of the Wichitas; and Permian formations underlie the rest of the area 

except for small areas of alluvium along streams. Most of the area of 

Permian rocks is underlain by the Clear Pork and Wichita formations, which 

will yield small to moderate supplies of ground water. The Duncan, Chickasha, Blaine, and Dog Creek formations crop out in a narrow strip a-long the 

northern boundary. Measurements of water level were made in July, August, 

and October, but opposite trends were recorded in the two observation wells. 

In well 1, a net rise of 0.78 foot occurred over the 3-month period, whereas in well 2 a net decline of 0.61 foot was registered.

McClain County

Tape measurements in McClain County well 1 continued to" show 30 little 

fluctuation of water level that an automatic water-stage recorder was operated in the well from August 19 until September 29. The continuous record confirmed the suspicion that the well does not communicate freely with 

the aquifer and the measurements, therefore, have been discontinued.

Measurements were begun in 1'cClain County well 2, which penetrates 

the Hennessey shale, a formation that generally is a poor aquifer. Between 

late April and early October, the water level fluctuated through a range of 

3.64 feet, the highest level being recorded in May.

Oklahoma County

Water levels in the deep wells, which derive artesian water from the 

sandstones of the Oarber and Wellington formations generally reflected 

changes in pumpage. In wells 1, 2, and 3, the water levels rose during the 

winter and spring and started to decline in April or Vay in response to 

seasonal increases in pumpage. In wells 2 and 3 the lowest stage was 

reached at the end of August, and the water levels rose thereafter. At the 

end of the year, they were at about the same level as at the beginning of 

the year. In well 1, the water level continued to decline through September and October and, on November 24, was at the lowest stage recorded since 

measurements were begun in 1943. At the end of December, the water level 

was 5.5 feet lo«er than at the beginning of the year, due principally
90 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

to increased municipal pumpage at Britton, about 1 mile southeast of th. 

well.

The water level in well 4 Is affected by the pumping in a water-supply 

well of the Oklahoma City Air Depot, which Is 27 feet distant, and by pumpIng from other wells of the air depot, and by the municipal pumping of Midwest City. Pumpage in the area was slightly greater in 1947 than In 1946, 

but was less than during the war years. Correspondingly, the water levels 

in well 4 were slightly lower In 1947 than in 1946, but considerably higher than those of the war years.

Water levels In three shallow observation wells west of Bethany, which 

tap water in a high-level terrace deposit of the North Canadian River, 

fluctuated little during the first few months of the year, rose sharply 

during April and May, and declined throughout the remainder of the year, 

except in well 11 which showed a rise during November and December. The 

water table Is closer to the land surface at well 11 than at the other two, 

and It responds more rapidly to changes In precipitation, transpiration, 

and evaporation. At the end of the year the water level In well 11 was 

0.36 foot higher than at the end of 1946, but the levels In the other two 

wells were about 0.5 foot lower.

The water levels In four shallow wells In the alluvium of the North 

Canadian River at Oklahoma City fluctuated through a range of 5 feet during 

the year. Generally, the water levels declined slightly during the first 

part of the year, rose sharply during April and May when precipitation was 

heavy, and declined throughout the remainder of the year, except for a 

slight rise in December. At the end of the year, the water levels averaged 

a little more than 0.4 foot lower than at the end of 1946.

Payne County 

(Stillwater Creek Basin)

The observation wells In the Stillwater Creek Basin are shallow and 

the water levels in them generally respond quickly to excesses or deficiencies of precipitation. The deficient moisture conditions of the latter 

part of the year caused the average of the water levels at the end of the 

year to be the lowest recorded since 1941.
OKLAHOMA. 91

The monthly average of the water levels declined slightly during the 

first 3 months of 1947 and then rose more than 1.5 feet during April and 

May in response to above-normal precipitation. It then declined throughout the remainder of the year until December, when it rose slightly.

Roger Milla County

Roger Hills County is in western Oklahoma, and is bounded on the north 

by Ellis County, on the east by Dewey and Ouster Counties, on the south by 

Beckham County, and on the west by the State of Texas. The northern boundary follows the Canadian River, The Washita River crosses the county from 

east to west, passing about 1 mile north of Cheyenne, the county seat, which 

is near the middle.

The eastern two-thirds of Roger Mills County is moderately dissected, 

undulating to rolling, and is underlain by Permian redbeds consisting of 

shales and thin, fine-grained sandstones that will yield only small to moderate supplies of ground water; or shale and layers of gypsum, in which meager supplies of ground water are likely to contain high concentrations of 

calcium sulfate. The western third of the county is higher in altitude, 

flat to gently rolling, and is underlain by Quaternary dune sand and terrace deposits, from which moderately large supplies of good water generally 

may be obtained at depths of about 100 f=>et, There is also a smaller area of 

terrace deposits, totaling somewhat less than a township, south of the 

Canadian River In the northeastern corner of the county.

Alluvium in a band 0.25 to 1.0 mile wide underlies the flood plain on 

the south side of the Canadian River, and in a band 1 to 3 miles wide 

along the Wachlta River. Observation «ell 1 is in the alluvium on the south 

side of the Washita about 1 mile north of Cheyenne. The water level in it 

was measured seven times. Between the end of February and the end of April 

it rose 2.6 feet, then it declined 5.80 feet to the low stage for the year^ 

which was recorded on October 19, and thereafter rose 0.23 foot by December 

31, when it was 2.97 feet below the initial measurement recorded in February.

Tillman County

The water level in the irrigation well at the Southwestern Cotton 

Substation, near Tipton, varied only a few tenths of a foot during the first 

3 months of 1947, when rainfall was below normal. Heavy rains in April 

863023 O - 49 - 7
92 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

and May, totaling 14,65 inches, caused the water level to rise more than 4 

feet until, on May 26, it was at the highest stage recorded since measurements began in 1944. From the May high the water level declined gradually 

through the following months until the middle of October. During August 

and September, 21.6 acre-feet of water was pumped from the well to irrigate 

cotton but the pumpage had no visible effect on the long-term trends of 

the water level. Rains during the latter part of October and the remainder 

of the year resulted In a rise of water level during these months and, on 

December 29, 1947, the water level was 2.34 feet higher than on December 

30, 1946,

Washlta County

Washita County is in west-central Oklahoma, is very nearly rectangular, 

and includes about 28 townships. It is bounded on the north by Ouster 

County, on the east by Caddo County, on the south by Kiowa County, and on 

the west by Beckham County. Cordell, the county seat, is centrally located. 

The Washita River enters the county near the middle of the north line and 

leaves near the southeast corner.

The bedrock formations of Washlta County are df Permian age, ranging 

from the Blaine and Dog Creek formations to th^ Quartermaster formation. 

The Blaine and Dog Creek crop out in small areas along the southern boundary, consist mostly of shale, and are of little consequence as aquifers. 

The Whitehorse formation crops out in a north-south band one township or 

less in width in the eastern part of the county, continuing along the 

southern side as a band 2 to 4 miles wide. The upper member of the Whitehorse, known as the Rush Springs sandstone, is 200 to 300 feet thick, and 

although it is very fine-grained, it is the most favorable of the bedrock 

formations in the county as a source of ground water. To the east, in 

Caddo County, it is tapped for water for small towns and for Irrigation. 

The Cloud Chief formation overlies the Whitehorse, crops out in the eastern 

part of the county on either side of the Washita River, where its outcrop 

is about two townships wide, and in the southern part, where its outcrop 

is 2 to 4 miles wide. As it consists principally of shale and gypsum, it 

yields only meager supplies of water of poor quality. The Quartermaster 

Is the surface formation in most of the western half of the county, consists 

principally of red shale and very fine-grained, thin-bedded, red sandstone 

from which meager to moderate supplies of ground water can be obtained, but
OKLAHOMA, BEAVER COUNTY 93

locally the formation includes a fairly thick sandstone near the base, 

which has yielded up to 100 gallons a minute per well. Washita County observation well 1 taps water in this sandstone, and in 1947 the water level 

fluctuated through a range of 7.43 feet, the highest level being recorded 

on March 26 and the lowest on October 19.

The alluvium underlying the flood plain on either side of the channel 

of the Washita River is a ground-water reservoir of considerable capacity 

and productivity, but the water is rather highly mineralized because the 

river crosses the outcrop of the gypsiferous Cloud Chief formation through 

most of Washita County and for many miles upstream.

INTRODUCTION

A State-wide investigation of the ground-water resources of Texas has 

been in progress since 1929 in cooperation with the Texas State Board of 

Water Engineers. The more or less periodical measuring of the water levels 

and artesian pressures in selected observation wells has been part of the 

program from the start of the study. As the ground-water investigations 

were extended to new areas, the observation-well program was expanded to 

take in the new areas, especially if there was considerable pumpage or an 

indication that the water level was declining. During 194V, 2,554 measurements were made in 904 wells in 40 counties.

The water-level measurements made in connection with the program prior 

to 1947 were published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 909, 

939, 947, 989, 1019, 1026, and 1074. Several mimeographed progress reports 

have been issued which contain water-level measurements and discussions of 

the fluctuation of water levels in the Houston district, the High Plains 

irrigation area, and the Winter Garden district.

PRECIPITATION

For the purpose of summarizing climatological data, the U. S. Weather 

Bureau has divided Texas into three parts as follows: Eastern division, 

comprising the area east of the 97th meridian; middle division, comprising 

the area between the 97th and 101st meridians; and the western division, 

comprising the area west of the 101st meridian.

The average yearly precipitation decreases from east to west; most of 

the eastern division is humid or semihumid, the western division is arid, 

and the middle division is between the two. The yearly precipitation at 

any given station varies widely. For example, at El Paso, in the extreme 

western part of the State, the average yearly precipitation from 1850 

through 1947 was 9.16 inches, but the annual precipitation ranged from 2.22

inches in 1891 to 21.81 inches in 1856. At Bon "Wier, in Newton County, in 

118
TEXAS 119

the eastern part of the State, the average yearly precipitation from 1914 

through 1947 was 55.95 inches, but the annuali precipitation ranged from 

38.21 inches in 1925 to 81.92 inches in 1940J A similar wide range in annual precipitation occurs at numerous stations throughout the State.

According to the U. S. Weather Bureau's summary for the year 1947, 

the average precipitation for the State was 26.03 inches, which was 3.42 

inches or 11 percent below normal. The 7.05 inches at Pecos, in Heeves 

County, was the lowest, and 54.92 inches at (foose Greek, in Harris County, 

was the highest. The precipitation averaged below normal in all divisions 

in 1947. The precipitation was below normal in the western division in 

1945 and 1946, near normal and above normal in the middle division for 1945 

and 1946, respectively, and above normal in the eastern division in both 

1945 and 1946.

Only 35 of the 168 stations reported abpve-normal precipitation for 

1947, the greatest being 7.16 inches at Goos? Creek; the greatest deficiency was 12.43 inches at Blanco, in Blanco County.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IH WA!J?ER LEVELS 

BALCONES FAULT ZOJJIB

The observation wells In Bexar, Comal, G^adalupe, Hays, Kinney, Travis, 

Uvalde, Val Verde, and Williamson Counties ai»e in the Balcones fault zone. 

Most of them draw water from reservoirs in the Edwards limestone, but a 

few draw from reservoirs in the Glen Rose limestone, Austin chalk, and 

shallow sands and gravels. The Edwards limestone supplies water to the 

large springs near Comstock, Del Rio, Brackettville, San Antonio, Hew Braunfels, San Marcos, and Austin. The combined maximum recorded daily discharge from these seven springs is 1,200 milJLion gallons, and the average 

daily discharge is about 550 million gallonsl The average daily flow of 

Comal Springs was about 227 million gallons a day in 1946, and the average 

increased only about half a million gallons a day in 1947. The Edwards 

limestone supplies water to irrigation wells in Bexar, Uvalde, and Medina 

Counties, to public and industrial wells in San Antonio and other towns 

and cities along the Balcones fault zone, and to farms and ranches.

During June or July and November 1947, Water-level measurements were 

made in most of the observation wells along the fault zone except in 

Williamson County and northern Travis County.
120 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

Val Verde County. In two observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water levels were 0.57 foot and 1.24 feet higher In June 

1947 than they were In April 1946.

KInne-y County. In 11 observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level was lower In 3 wells and higher In 8 wells In 

June 1947 than In April 1946. The average of the water levels showed a net 

rise of 7.47 feet. The water level In most of the wells continued to rise 

from June to November 1947. In 3 observation wells In the Austin chalk 

the water level rose an average of 7.74 feet between April 1946 and June 

1947.

Uyalde County. In eight observation wells drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level rose an average of 9.00 feet between April 1946 

and July 1947. In one well equipped with a continuous water-stage recorder, a steady decline amounting to 2.30 feet was recorded from January 1 to 

June 14, 1947. Prom June 14 to September 26 the stage of the water level 

was almost constant, and from September 26 to the end of the year the water 

level rose 3.58 feet. Of the four observation wells In the Austin chalk, 

the water level In one well declined and In three wells it rose from April 

1946 to July 1947. The average of the four water level measurements showed 

a rise of 2.39 feet.

Medina County.--In five observation wells drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level In two wells declined 1.29 and 6.62 feet and In 

three wells the water levels rose 2.94, 5.37, and 6,99 feet. The average 

of the five water-level measurements shows an average rise of 1,48 feet.

Bexar County. In five observation wells, drawing from the Edwards 

limestone, the water level declined from 0.18 foot to 3.95 feet from April 

1946 to July 1947. The average decline in water level amounted to 1.32 

feet. In a well In the northeast part of San Antonio, equipped with a 

continuous water-stage recorder, the water level declined 12 feet at a 

steady rate from January 1 to August 1, 1947, rose 3 feet in August, declined 4 feet to the middle of November, and rose 1 foot to the end of December. The water level was both higher and lower in 1946 than In 1947, 

but averaged about 1 foot lower in 1947.

Guadalupe County. In one observation well, probably drawing from the 

Edwards limestone, the water level was 3.27 feet lower In July 1947 than 

in March 1946.
TEXAS 121

Comal County. In 13 observation wells drawing from the Edwards limestone, the water level in 4 wells declined from 0.29 foot to 20.86 feet and 

in 9 wells it rose from 0.21 foot to 6.08 feet. The average decline in 

water level in the 13 wells amounted to 1.05 feet between March 1946 and 

July 1947.

Hays County. In eight observation wells^ drawing from the Edwards 

limestone the water level in three wells rose from 1.20 to 16.88 feet and 

in five wells it declined from 0.09 foot to 8.53 feet between March 1946 

and June 1947. The average net rise was 1.50 feet. In one well in the 

Austin chalk, for which monthly measurements are available, the water level

was rising most of the year in 1946 while it declined continuously for the

entire year in 1947; however, the average water level for the 2 years was 

about the same.

Travis County. In two observation wells in the Edwards limestone, the 

decline in water level was 13.04 and 13.20 f^et from March 1946 to June 

1947. In a well in the Austin chalk, for wh^.ch monthly measurements are 

available, the average water level was 4.43 feet lower in 1947 than in 

1946. In a well to the Glen Rose limestone, the average water level was 

1.99 feet lower in 1947 than in 1946. In a lell drawing from the alluvium, 

the average water level was 4.07 feet lower |n 1947 than in 1946.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimmit and Zayala Counties, the Winter fearden district. Pumping for 

the irrigation of vegetables has been in progress for about 30 years, and 

for citrus trees, feed crops, and cotton in more recent years. Most of the 

irrigation wells draw from the Carrizo sand *hich crops out in western 

Dimmit County, eastern Maverick County, and western and northern Zavala 

County. The amount of water used for irrigation in 1947 is estimated to

be about twice as much as the amount used 10 

During the period of record since 1929,

years ago.

the largest decline in water

level took place from 1941 to 1947, and the most accelerated rate of a 

single year was from 1946 to 1947. In the heavily pumped district east of 

Crystal City, the decline in water level in five observation wells ranged 

from 55.3 to 74.8 feet and averaged 64.7 feet between 1941 and 1947. The 

average decline of water level in several wells in other areas for the same 

period was as follows: Outcrop area near Catrizo Springs, 4.4 feet; La 

Pryor area, 26.0 feet; Cometa area, 9.7 feet; Winter Haven area, 35.8 feet;

Carrizo Springs area, 41.9 feet; Asherton area, 29.2 feet; Catarina area, 

20.4 feet; Brundage area, 23.9 feet; and Big Wells area, 21.6 feet.

The average decline in water level in 12 areas in the Winter Garden 

district from 1P46 to 1947 was as follows: Crystal City area, 18.4 feet; 

outcrop area near Carrizo Springs, 0.3 foot; La Pryor area, 13.9 feet; 

Cometa area, 1.3 feet; Winter Haven area, 7.1 feet; Carrizo Springs area, 

9.3 feet; Asherton area, 3.1 feet; Brundage area, 10.6 feet; Big wells area, 

4.2 feet; El Cid area, 2.7 feet. In the Caterina area there was an average rise of 1.7 feet and at Valley Wells a rise of 1.0 foot.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Both surface and ground water are used to irrigate rice in Wharton, 

Jackson, and Matagorda Counties. The number of acres irrigated has been 

increasing since 1935, the rate of increase being greater since 1940. The 

amount of irrigation water applied varies to some extent inversely with 

the amount of rain that falls during the rice-growing season. The average 

rainfall at five U. S. Weather Bureau stations in the three counties for 

the months of April through July was 13.97 inches in 1945, 18.39 inches in 

15946, and 12.99 inches in 1947. The increase in rainfall during the 1946 

growing season probably offset the amount of water normally needed to irrigate the additional acres planted to rice in 1946. The observation wells 

are measured each year in March or April when they reach their maximum recovery prior to the start of pumping.

V/harton County. In 21 observation wells the water level rose an average of 1.28 feet between April 1946 and March 1947.

Jackson County. In 21 observation wells the water level rose an average of 1.11 feet between April 1946 and March 1947.

Houston district. The Houston district is a great plain of low relief, most of which lies less than 150 feet above sea level. It is a part 

of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Large quantities of ground water are 

pumped in the district from industrial and municipal wells in the HoustonPasadena area, and irrigation wells in the Katy area, which is a ricegrowing area of about 500 square miles roughly centering around the town of 

Katy, 30 miles west of Houston. These wells draw their water supply from 

sands which crop out west, northwest, and north of Houston in Harris, Port 

Bend, Waller, and Montgomery Counties. About 230 observation wells in the
TEXAS 123

district are measured periodically at intervals ranging from one month to 

one year. For discussion, the district is divided into three general 

areasdesignated as (1) the Houston-Pasadena area, (2) the Katy rice-growing 

area, and (3) the outcrop area of the water-tearing sands which supply the 

water.

The following table gives the estimated average quantities of water,

in millions of gallons a day, withdrawn from 

in 1930, 1935, 1937, and 1939-47, inclusive.

a The rics wells are pumped only during; the rice-growing season from 

April to August, and the pumpage in the Houston and Pasadena areas, although continuous, is much heavier-in the summer than it is during the remainder of the year. For convenience, the withdrawals are given as daily 

averages for the entire year.

Houston-Pasadena area. The preceding tsble shows that the average 

daily withdrawal of ground water was about constant for the periods 1930-

35 and 1937-41, inclusive, and then the rate 

stantially, year by year, through 1947. Wher

of withdrawal increased subthe war ended in August 1945

several plants that had been producing war gcods were shut down or production was curtailed and there was a corresponding decrease in pumpage. However, this decrease was only temporary, and l|n 1946 and 1947 industry became launched on a large expansion program wtyieh resulted in an even greater pumpage of ground water. Several industrial concerns, not previously

124 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CEHTRAL STATES

established in the area, began construction of plants, and most of the existing plants started expanding their facilities. Practically all the 

ground water used in the area in 1947 was pumped from about 300 wells.

In the observation wells that are screened opposite the heavily pumped 

sands at Houston and Pasadena and in the area west of Houston, the average decline in water level from the sprang of 1942 to the spring of 1947 

was 39.1 feet. The largest average decline, amounting to 47.7 feet in 21 

observation wells, occurred in the eastern Houston-Pasadena area, where the 

increase in pumping was the heaviest. In the northern, central, and western parts of Houston and in the locality west of the city, there was an 

average decline in water level of 30.8 feet between the spring measurements 

of 1942 and 1947. For the period 1946-47 the average decline in these localities was 9.7 feet as compared to declines of 7.5 feet during 1945-46, 

and 5.5 feet during 1944-45. This increase in annual average decline since 

1944 is mostly the result of the year-by-year increase in pumpage by the 

city of Houston. In the locality north of Houston, there was an average 

decline in water level of 4.5 feet between 1946 and 1947, as compared with 

5.2 feet between 1945 and 1946, and 4.2 feet between 1944 and 1945. With 

the all-time record-breaking average pumpage of 135 million gallons a day 

in 1947, the decline in water level has continued at an accelerated'rate, 

and the spring measurements of 1948 are expected to be the lowest on record 

for the Houston-Pasadena area.

In the observation wells that are screened opposite the lightly pumped 

sands to a depth of 400 feet, the decline in water level continued during 

the period 1942-47, but at a considerably slower rate than the decline in 

wells drawing from the deeper, more heavily pumped sands. In 5 representative wells the losses between spring measurements in 1942 and 1947 ranged 

from 11.2 to 21.9 feet and averaged 17.2 feet. The decline by years occxirred as follows: 1942-43, 1.8 feet; 1943-44, 3.9 feet; 1944-45, 3.8 feet; 

1945-46, 2.3 feet; 1946-47, 5.0 feet. In 3 wells for which comparative 

measurements are available the declines from 1931 to 1947 were 25.9, 32.3, 

and 35.9 feet.

Katy rice-growing area. In the Katy rice-growing area additional land 

has been put under irrigation year by year as a result of high prices for 

farm products. It is estimated that 44,900 acres was irrigated in 1947,
TEXAS | 125

as compared with 37,530 acres In 1946; 34,320 acres in 1945, 31,740 acres 

in 1944; 24,200 acres In 1940; 13,740 acres liji 1937; and 8,000 acres in

1935. Spring measurements of water levels in observation wells in this

area show a slow but persistent decline from 1931 to 1941. The maximum decline for the 10-year period was 20.3 feet, the minimum was 5.4 feet, and 

the average was 11.3 feet in the 12 wells for which comparable records are 

available. Between the spring of 1941 and th? spring of 1942, the water 

levels in 44 observation wells showed an averkge rise of 2.1 feet. This 

was on account of the small demands for irrigation in 1941 and the unusually large amount of recharge from the heavy ra|Lns of November 1940 to

N

November 1941. In 1342-43 little net change occurred. Prom the spring of 

1943 to the spring of 1946, an average net depline of 3.6 feet was recorded, 

of which 1.6 feet occurred in 1943-44, 1.4 fekt in 1944-45, and 0.5 foot in 

1945-46. There was no net change from 1946 to 1947; in 6 wells the water 

level remained the same, 18 wells showed an average loss of 1 foot, and 13 

wells showed an average rise of 1 foot. For the 16-year period, 1931-47, 

the 11 wells for which comparable measurements are available showed an 

average decline of 13.4 feet.

Outcrop area of the water-bearing sands. The water table in the outcrop area of the water-bearing sands that supply the municipal and Industrial wells in the Houston-Pasadena area was from 5 to 10 feet higher during the period 1941-46 than during the period 1938-40, and the few wells 

for which comparable measurements are available indicated It was as high 

or higher than in 1931-34. From the January tL946 measurements to those in 

January 1947, the observation wells showed continued rises ranging from 0.2 

foot to 5.2 feet as a result of the above-norjaial rainfall during the year. 

Available data Indicate that during the period of record more water was 

contributed to storage in the outcrop area than moved down the dip toward 

the pumped areas. Most of the recharge occurred during the abnormally wet 

year November 1940 to November 1941, and during periods of above-normal 

rainfall In 1945 and 1946. During 1947 the w^ter levels showed declines 

ranging from about 1 foot to 8 feet; the averkge loss was about 4 feet.

Salveston County. Water levels in Galvebton County dropped persistently for a number of years prior to 1944 as a result of continued heavy 

pumping In the Texas City industrial area and in the Alta Loma well field
126 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

of the city of Galveston. From 1944 to 1946, the rate of decline decreased 

and at Texas City the water levels became almost stationary as the cone of 

depression caused by the pumping became flatter and larger each year. 

After the Texas City disaster of April 1947, which resulted In the destruction of or serious damage to several of the Industrial plants with a consequent decrease In water consumption for several months, there was some 

recovery in a few wells In the damaged area. In the county as a whole, however, water levels continued to decline slowly during 1947.

HIGH PLAINS

In the High Plains of Texas, most of the irrigation wells are in the 

following 16 counties: Deaf Smith, Randall, Armstrong, Farmer, Castro, 

Swlsher. Briscoe, Bailey, Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Hockley, Lubbock, Crosby, 

Terry, and Lynn.

Irrigation from wells in this region was started near Plainview, Hale 

County, in 1911. By 1914, about 140 irrigation wells had been drilled in 

the 3 principal districts Plainview, Heref ord, and Muleshoe. In the 7 

years from 1919 to 1926, the rainfall In most of the region was above average and comparatively little irrigation was practiced. Interest was revived during a period of several years of low rainfall that began in 1927, 

and, according to the available records, 296 wells were pumped to Irrigate 

about 35,000 acres in 1934. Since that time the development has grown 

rapidly.

Since 1937 water-level measurements have been made periodically in 

several hundred observation wells in the High Plains. Some of these wells 

are used for irrigation, some for domestic purposes and stock, and some are 

unused. Until 1940 measurements were made for the most part at intervals 

of 1 to 3 months. It was found, however, that the most dependable information regarding net annual losses from or additions to storage in the groundwater reservoirs in the pumping districts and closely adjacent territory 

can be obtained by comparing water-level measurements made each year in 

the late winter or early spring before the start of irrigation.

The following table shows a summary by counties of the average net 

changes in water level between March 1938 and January 1947 in 83 observation wells for which comparable measurements are available.
