WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1954

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

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

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

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

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

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of the country. Hawaii 

is included in the southwestern section. The following table gives the numbers of Water-Supply 

Papers from 1940 through 1954.

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

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

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

present or potential areas of detrimentally high or low ground-water levels, to aid in the prediction of the base flow of streams, to determine the several forces that act on a ground-water body, 

and to demonstrate the interplay of those forces in the ground-water regimen, to furnish information for use in basic research, and to provide long-term continuous records of fluctuations of 

water levels in representative wells. These selected records serve as a framework to which 

many short-term records collected during an intensive investigation may be related.

Water levels in wells are seldom stationary but move up or down a fraction of an inch or 

many feet within a short time. Water-table wells may be influenced by direct recharge from 

precipitation, withdrawals from wells or springs, transpiration by vegetation, evaporation 

from the soil, and changes in atmospheric pressure. Artesian wells are influenced over large 

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

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

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

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

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-surface datum or sealevel datum. Land-surf ace datum is a precise datum plane that is approximately at land surface 

at each well. Mean sea level (msl) is the datum plane on which the national network of precise 

levels is based. When some measurements in a table are above and others are below the plane 

of reference, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each 

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

For the most part, discussions of precipitation in this report are based on data furnished 

by the United States Weather Bureau.

Measurements of water levels and artesian pressures in wells were made under the direction of the district supervisors of the Ground Water Branch in the several States.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Alabama, begun in 1940 in cooperation with the Geological 

Survey of Alabama, was continued in 1954. Water-level studies were continued in the ore-mining 

section of Jefferson County as a phase of a mining-hydrology project. Water-level data were 

collected from 24 wells, of which 20 are equipped with recording gages, 1 is measured weekly, 

and 3 are measured monthly. Figure 2 shows the geologic provinces and location of the observation wells in the State. Information was furnished in 1954 in response to inquiries from 79 municipal, 117 industrial, 54 agricultural (irrigation), 155 private, and 39 State and Federal sources. 

Detailed ground-water investigations were begun in Talladega and Escambia Counties and were 

continued in Jefferson, Lowndes, Madison, Marengo, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, and Wilcox 

Counties (fig. 3). Detailed reports on the ground-water studies in Madison, Montgomery, and 

Monroe Counties and a reconnaissance report on the Piedmont area are in course of preparation. 

A detailed study was made of the water resources of the Mobile area, and a report was completed. 

A report, "Mining-hydrology problems in the Birmingham Red Iron Ore District, Alabama, " by 

Thomas A. Simpson, was presented at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining and 

Metallurgical Engineers in February and published as Technical Paper 39561.

Precipitation

Precipitation in Alabama, which is mostly rainfall, is reflected in the fluctuation of water 

levels in water-table wells within a few days or even, in some wells, within a few hours. Similarly, periods of prolonged drought are reflected in the fluctuation of water levels in the wells. 

In Alabama the rain generally is heaviest in the late winter and early, spring months, a period of 

maximum recharge to the ground-water reservoir. Intermittent heavy rains generally fall during 

July, August, and September, owing to the influence of the Gulf of Mexico. These rains, at times 

torrential, contribute some recharge to the ground-water reservoir though a large part of the 

water runs off in streams. Records from the U. S. Weather Bureau show that rainfall was much 

below normal throughout 1954. The precipitation in 1954, 34. 36 inches, was the smallest in 

71 years of record, breaking the previous low record, set in 1904, by 5.12 inches. In January 

the precipitation was 81 percent of normal, but it showed a continuous decline until it reached a 

low of 59 percent in both September and October. Substantial rain fell in November and December, 

but the total was still only 65 percent of normal by the end of the year. Temperatures ranged 

from 5.0°F below normal to 4.2°F above normal and averaged 0. 7°F above normal throughout 

the year. The temperature ranged from a low of +11 °F, recorded at Russellville on January 12 

and Valley Head on November 3, to a high of +108°F, recorded at Greenville and Selma on June 28 

and Belle Mina on August 16.

Pumpage

Data on ground-water withdrawals are collected at Selma, Montgomery, and Foley, all 

areas of heavy annual or seasonal pumpage. Pumpage records by the Selma Waterworks during 

1954 show an average withdrawal of 2. 9 mgd (million gallons per day) compared to the average 

of 2. 7 mgd in 1953. The water level in index well Dls-2 at Selma has shown gradual seasonal 

declines for the past 5 years in response, mainly, to increasing seasonal pumping, but it has recovered to normal or near-normal stages during the winter months. Fluctuations in well Bal-1 

at Foley were related to withdrawals from the wells of the Riviera Utilities Co. during 1954. 

Normal municipal use at Foley averaged about 6. 5 million gallons per month. Maximum pumpage 

is during the potato-washing season in May and June, averaging about 10 million gallons per 

month. Total pumpage in the Montgomery area is recorded for both pumping stations (the Day 

Street station and the Court Street station), but records are not kept for individual wells. The 

Day Street station pumped an average of 8 mgd and the Court Street station pumped an average of 

5 mgd during 1954. The detailed ground-water study was continued in 1954 to investigate and 

evaluate the present well field and to collect data for use by the city in locating new sources of 

supply. Figure 5 shows graphs of pumpage at Foley, and figure 6 shows graphs of pumpage at 

Selma, 1951-54.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

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

by pumping, natural flows from springs and wells, barometric fluctuations, surface loading including earth and ocean tides, and earthquakes. Shallow water-table wells and springs respond 

with rising water levels or increased spring flows within a few hours of a few days after precipitation and with declining water levels or decreased spring flows during periods of no rainfall. 

The effect of rainfall on water levels in deep wells usually lags days or weeks after precipitation. 

Persistent decline in water level in some parts of Alabama is the result of concentration of largecapacity wells or of the uncontrolled flow from wells in the artesian basins. Many communities 

and private well owners using shallow water-table wells experienced acute water shortages during 

the extended drought of 1954. Graphs from recording gages on some nonflowing artesian wells 

show the barometric effect on water levels. The fluctuations are generally small, rarely exceeding 0.1 foot in a daily cycle. Water-level fluctuations in wells have been correlated with earthquakes. Water levels in wells of known sensitivity to earthquakes are correlated closely with 

notices of Preliminary Determination of Epicenter, published by the U. S. Department of Commerce. Water-level fluctuations in observation wells in Colbert, Elmore, Jefferson, Madison, 

Marion, and Monroe Counties were correlated with the earthquake near Fallon, Nev,, on-December 16, 1954. Water-level fluctuations due to blasting have been recorded in the Birmingham 

mining district.

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

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

which younger igneous rocks have been injected. Wells in this area yield generally less than 

10 gpm (gallons per minute) and rarely more than 50 gpm. Only about 10 percent of the municipalities use ground water, but most of the private farm supplies are obtained from wells and 

springs. In parts of the Piedmont, however, large quantities of ground water ai>e developed from 

limestone, marble, and dolomite. The principal water supply for the city of Sylacauga in Talladega County is a drilled well in the Sylacauga marble member of the Talladega slate that yields 

900 gpm. Two industrial wells in Sylacauga have reported yields of more than 200 gpm. The 

water level in observation well Tal-1 at Sylacauga fluctuates mainly because of pumping and 

changes in barometric pressure. Fluctuations in water level in observation well Elm-1-at Eclectic 

are caused mainly by recharge and barometric influences. The water level fluctuated slightly, 

showing a gradual rise until the end of March, and then declined 4.4 feet from May 1 to October 29, 

reaching a new low of 12. 76. Then the water level became somewhat stable, rising only slightly 

in November and December. Slight fluctuations, probably barometric, averaging about 0.1 foot, 

are noted.

In northern Alabama, important sources of ground water are the sandstone, limestone, 

chert, and dolomite formations of Paleozoic age. Ground water, found along bedding planes, 

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

all the private water supplies. Yields from wells in this area range from a few gallons per minute to more than 1,000 gpm; yields in excess of 200 gpm are not uncommon. Industrial expansion 

in the Tennessee Valley area of Alabama was possible largely because of plentiful ground-water 

supplies. Water-level fluctuations in observation well Mad-1 at the city pumping station in Huntsville are caused mainly by recharge and pumping. The water level rose to a high for 1954 in 

January then declined gradually to the low of the year in November. Col-1 is an index well in 

limestone in the Sheffield-Muscle Shoals area of the Tennessee River drainage basin, an area of 

rapid industrial expansion requiring large amounts of water. The water level rose to the high for 

1954 in February, fluctuated slightly from nearby pumping and rainfall until May, then declined 

gradually to the low for the 2-year period of record at the end of December. Water-table well 

Cul-1 is an index well on the Tennessee River-Warrior River drainage divide. Water-level fluctuations can be correlated with rainfall and seasonal pumping at a nearby cotton-oil mill in the 

area. The water level fluctuated slightly because of nearby pumping and rainfall from January to 

June, declined gradually to the low for the year (22.0) on October 24, then rose gradually to 17.4, 

a record high, on December 18. The level in water-table well Jac-1, established as an index 

well by the TVA in the Scottsboro area of the Tennessee River drainage basin, can be closely 

correlated with rainfall, as it responds within a few hours after precipitation. The high water 

level for the year was 3. 69 on February 1. Owing to the prolonged drought, the well was dry from 

October 4 until November 29. Rainfall and barometric-pressure changes are reflected in artesian 

well Mar-1 at Guin. The water level fluctuated slightly until March, gradually rose to the high 

for the year (9.23) in May, then declined to a record low (11. 76) in November, after which it 

recovered steadily for the remainder of the year.

In the southern half of Alabama in the Coastal Plain area, water-bearing sand, gravel, and 

porous limestone interbedded with chalk, marl, clay, and impervious limestone supply water for 

municipal, industrial, and private use. Wells in this area yield from a few gallons per minute to 

more than 1, 000 gpm; yields of 500 gpm or more are common. Artesian wells, both flowing and 

nonflowing, are used by many municipalities, industries, and farmers. (See fig. 4.) Many of these 

wells are allowed to flow unchecked whether or not the water is used. The unchecked flow from wells 

and concentrated pumpingfrom high-capacity wells have caused water-level declines in the artesian 

basins. Declines have been noted particularly in the Mobile and Montgomery areas. Nonflowing

artesian well Bal-1 in the city of Foley well field shows no water-level fluctuations that can be 

correlated with rainfall or barometric-pressure fluctuations. However, it is affected by pumping 

to the extent that such fluctuations probably would be obscured. The water level rose to the high 

for 1954 (22. 0) in March, then declined gradually to the low for the year (27.3) in December. A 

hydrograph (fig. 5) shows the correlation between the water level and pumping in the municipal 

well field. Water levels in semiartesian well Bib-1 at Centreville can be correlated closely with 

rainfall and to some extent with barometric fluctuations. The water level in this well rose to the 

high for 1954 (25.1) in January, then declined slowly to the lowest level of record (32. 3) in late 

October and early November. Water-table well Chi-3 at Clanton is near the contact of the sands 

and gravels of the Coastal Plain with the metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Piedmont area. 

The water level in well Chi-3 responds to substantial rainfall, generally within 24 hours. Water 

levels were highest in February, then declined to the lowest (9. 52) for the 3-year period of record 

in November.

The water-level fluctuations in artesian well Dls-2 in the city of Selma well field reflect 

the heavy pumping in that area. A hydrograph (fig. 6) shows the correlation between the water 

level and pumping in the well field. Pumpage ranged from 2.0 mgd in February to 3. 8 mgd in 

June. Owing to seasonal demands for water, the water level is highest in late winter and early 

spring and lowest in midsummer and early fall. Wells Gre-2 and Gre-3 are index wells in the 

Tombigbee River artesian basin. The pressure is measured periodically in well Gre-2, a flowing 

well at Boligee, occasionally pumped for municipal use. Gre-3, in the city of Eutaw well field, 

is not affected by city pumping. The level was highest in March, then declined to the lowest of 

record (38. 59) in October. The water level in artesian well Mac-1 at Tuskegee Institute, an artesian well developed in sands of the Tuscaloosa group, fluctuates mainly as a result of pumping 

in the area. Pumping is almost continuous, and the only large-scale fluctuations in water level 

result from stopping or starting of pumps. The highest water level (71. 90) was recorded in 

February; the lowest (75. 95), in October. Water-table well Mon-3 at Monroeville is an index 

well in shallow sand and gravel of Miocene and Pliocene age and limestone of Eocene and Oligocene 

age. The water level gradually rose to the highest of record (59. 78) in May, then slowly declined 

to the low for the year (64. 29) in December. The water-level fluctuations correlate closely with 

rainfall and changes in barometric pressure. Three nonflowing artesian wells are equipped with 

recording gages in the heavily pumped Montgomery well fields. Mtg-1, in the old northeast (Court 

Street) well field, is an index well developed in sands of the Tuscaloosa group. Mtg-2, in the 

west (Day Street) field, is developed in sands of both the Eutaw formation and the Tuscaloosa 

group. Mtg-3, in the west well field, is developed in sands of the Eutaw formation. Water-level 

fluctuations in these wells are mainly in response to pumping. The water levels fluctuated slightly 

until April, declined gradually to record lows in late summer and early fall, then rose slowly 

during the remainder of the year. Water levels are measured periodically in semiartesian well 

Pic-3 in the Reform area. Fluctuations of the water level are seasonal, the lowest stages being 

in late summer and early fall and the highest in late winter and early spring. Artesian well Wil-1 

at Camden is an index well developed in sands of the Ripley formation. Water levels are measured 

periodically. The low water levels occur in the late summer and early fall and the high water 

levels in late winter and early spring.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgment is made of the assistance of the H. K. Ferguson Co., Inc., for maintaining the recording gage on the observation well at Courtaulds, Inc., Mobile, and of the Montgomery 

Waterworks Superintendent for supplying pumpage data on the Montgomery well fields. The 

Superintendent of Waterworks, Selma, and the Superintendent, Riviera Utilities, Foley, supplied 

pumpage data, in addition to their regular duties as gage observers.

Well-Numbering System

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

name. For example, well 1 in Baldwin County is Bal-1, and well 3 in Montgomery County is 

Mtg-3.

Scope of Water-Level Program

Water-level observations were begun on a few wells in Florida as early as 1930. A comprehensive water-level observation program was begun in southern Florida in 1939 as a part of 

an intensive investigation of salt-water encroachment in the Miami area. In 1954, the statewide 

observation program was continued in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey; with the 

Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District; with the Dade, Manatee, Pinellas, Polk, 

and Seminole Counties; and with the cities of Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami 

Beach, Naples, New Smyrna Beach, Pensacola, and Sanford. At the close of 1954, water-level 

observations were being made in 699 wells throughout the State. Of these wells, 143 were 

equipped with recording gages and 556 were measured periodically. Figures 7-11 show the location of observation wells. The following table shows a breakdown of the wells by counties.

Klein; "Ground-water resources of Pinellas County, " by R. C. Heath and P. C. Smith; and "Water 

resources of Palm Beach County, " by M. C. Schroeder, D. L. Milliken, and S. K. Love were 

published by the Florida Geological Survey as Reports of Investigations Nos. 11, 12, and 13. 

Also, a report entitled 'Interim report on the ground-water resources of Seminole County, " by 

R. C. Heath and J. T. Barraclough, was published as Information Circular No. 5 by the Florida 

Geological Survey. The U. S. Geological Survey published the report, "Geology of the western 

Everglades area, southern Florida, " by M. C. Schroeder and Howard Klein as Circular 314. 

A report entitled "Research on salt-water encroachment in the Miami area, Florida, " by F. A. 

Kohout and N. D. Hoy was released to the open files.

Precipitation

The climate of Florida during 1954 ranged from extremely dry in the northwestern part of 

the State to abnormally wet along most of the lower east coast. Departures from normal precipitation ranged from more than 30 inches below in west Florida to more than 20 inches above in the 

Fort Lauderdale area. The average precipitation for the State was 45. 89 inches, 7.44 inches 

below normal.

The following table shows the total precipitation and departures from normal at selected

Pumpage

The average daily pumpage from the city of Miami well fields during 1954 was 64 million 

gallons, 11 million gallons of which was obtained from the new southwest well field, .near well 

G551. The heaviest pumpage occurred during February when the daily average was 74 million 

gallons. The Miami Springs well field of the city of Miami contains two cones of depression of 

about equal size. Well G3 is within one cone and well S68 is near the center of the other. (See 

fig. 11.)

Occurrence of Ground Water

Most of the water used in Florida north of Lake Okeechobee is obtained from an extensive, 

highly productive aquifer composed of limestone deposits of Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene 

ages. These deposits, collectively referred to as the Floridan aquifer, are overlain by younger 

materials, ranging in thickness from a few feet to several hundred feet. Over most of the State, 

these younger deposits consist predominantly of clay that confines the water in the Floridan aquifer 

under artesian pressure. This pressure is sufficient in many areas (as, for example, in a belt 

about 20 miles wide along the east coast and in all of the State south of Lake Okeechobee) to raise

water above the land surface. Water in the Floridan aquifer in a narrow area along the east 

coast from St. Augustine south and In southern Florida south of the vicinity of Lake Okeechobee 

is too highly mineralized for general use. In these areas and in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, where the Floridan aquifer is either absent or at relatively great depth beneath the surface, 

the principal source of water is shallow deposits that range in thickness from about 50 to about 

500 feet. These deposits, composed of limestone, sand, shelly sand, and coquina, range in age 

from late Miocene to Pleistocene. The water-transmitting capacity of these deposits differs 

widely. The Biscayne aquifer, a source of supply for the city of Miami, is one of the most productive aquifers in the world. Generally, however, these shallow deposits are less productive 

than the Floridan aquifer.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The effect of the unusual distribution of rainfall on water levels in the State may be observed 

from the new highest and lowest water-level records during 1954. Out of the 189 wells for which 

measurements are included in this report, only five new highs were established; whereas new 

lows were recorded for 54 wells. Except in Santa Rosa County well 102, the new highs were all 

established in wells in Broward and Dade Counties in the southeastern part of the State where the 

rainfall was above normal. The new high reached in Santa Rosa County well 102 was a result of 

abnormally heavy rainfall in December 1953. The new low records were reached in wells in 

central and northern Florida where precipitation was at or below normal.

Water levels in observation wells in areas in Escambia County not affected by heavy pumping declined about 2 feet during 1954. The decline in wells adjacent to heavy pumping ranged 

from 2 feet in well 45, near the well field of the St. Regis Paper Co., to 6 feet in well 74, near 

the well field of the new Chemstrand Corp. plant.

Water levels in other parts of west Florida also showed the effects of the dry weather in 

1954. In Okaloosa County, water levels declined as much as 13 feet during the spring and summer. In September the water levels in most wells began to recover, and by the end of 1954 they 

were nearly back to the level of the end of 1953. In Leon County and in west Florida, generally, 

the decline during 1954 ranged from about 3 to about 13 feet.

Water levels in the northern part of the peninsula also declined during 1954, though to a 

lesser extent than in west Florida. Water levels at Foley, Taylor County (see data for wells 

Taylor 35 and 36) declined as much as 20 feet during the year. Some of the decline was caused 

by pumping from a well field at a new cellulose plant. Water levels also declined from about a 

foot to as much as 4 or 5 feet in the industrialized areas in Duval and Nassau Counties in northeast Florida. Water levels in central Florida remained relatively unchanged during the year.

Average ground-water levels in southern Florida in 1954 ranged from about normal to 

3. 5 feet above normal, except during October, November, and December when levels dropped as 

much as 0.8 foot below normal in some areas. The largest rises in water levels occurred during 

May and June along the lower east coast and in the lower Everglades. Wells G72 and G596 in the 

lower Everglades are within the area of influence of water-conservation reservoirs constructed 

as a part of the flood-control program in central and southern Florida. The length of record on 

these wells is not yet adequate, however, to evaluate the effect of these reservoirs on groundwater levels. Figures 12-15 are hydrographs of selected wells in southern Florida showing average monthly water level in 1954 and high, low, and the mean of the average monthly water levels 

for the period of record.

Acknowledgments

The water-level measurements for Dade County well S196 were furnished by the University 

of Florida Subtropical Experiment Station, Homestead.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in Florida are generally numbered serially by counties. Exceptions to 

this are well numbers with the letter prefixes F, S, and G, which denote fire wells, supply wells, 

and wells owned by the U. S. Geological Survey, respectively. The letter A that follows certain 

well numbers in Escambia, Orange, and Polk Counties denotes a shallow well near a deeper well 

having the same number without a letter suffix.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum unless otherwise indicated. When some 

measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference, a plus (+) or minus 

(-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings 

between plus signs are above the plane of reference, and those between minus signs are below the 

plane of reference.

GEORGIA

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Georgia, begun in 1938 in cooperation with the State Department of Mines, Mining and Geology, was continued in 1954. Measurements were made in 95 

wells, 5 of which are equipped with recording gages. Figures 16, 17, and 18 show the location 

of observation wells.

Precipitation

During 1954 Georgia suffered the worst drought on record. The annual total of 31. 31 inches 

was more than 5 inches less than the previous low of 36.38 inches in 1931. Precipitation for the 

State as a whole was only 63 percent of normal, or 31. 31 inches, as compared to the normal of 

49. 75. Above-normal precipitation occurred during September and November; rainfall in the 

other months ranged from 36 to 81 percent of normal. Only 45 to 70 percent of normal precipitation occurred in Brantley, Camden, Charlton, and Glynn Counties in the Coastal Plain, the area 

of greatest deficiency.

Pumpage

The drought caused increased use of ground water for municipal, irrigation, and industrial 

purposes. In Savannah, mete red pumpage increased 52 acre-feet per day, in Brunswick,14 acrefeet per day, and in St. Marys,0. 47 acre-foot per day. The following table gives the average 

metered pumpage in acre-feet per day of only the major users of ground water from the principal 

artesian aquifer.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Piedmont. Water-table conditions prevail in northern Georgia; accordingly, water levels 

respond rapidly to local rainfall or the lack of it. Variation in local rainfall, topographic loca - 

tion of the well, type and thickness of residual cover, and the type and amount of fracturing of the 

bedrock control the rate and amount of fluctuation. Measurements ranged from 10. 41 feet higher 

in Cobb 21 to 9. 03 feet lower in Fulton 77.

Coastal Plain. --The Coastal Plain sediments consist of alternating sands, clays, and limestones, ranging in age from Cretaceous to Recent. Limestones of upper Eocene to Miocene age 

that underlie about three-fifths of this area form one hydrologic unit, known as the principal artesian aquifer. All observation wells in the Coastal Plain, except Chatham 343, end in this aquifer. 

Water levels in the Savannah area, which includes Chatham, Bryan, and Liberty Counties, were 

generally lower than in 1953. In Chatham County, new lows were recorded in all the wells measured in 1954. Year-end measurements ranged from 24. 00 to 1. 46 feet lower than in 1953. The 

greatest declines were observed in the industrial area northwest of the city of Savannah. In the 

observation wells in the Brunswick area in Glynn County, new record lows were reached in all 

wells. Water levels ranged from 1. 58 to 3. 42 feet lower than in December 1953. In Camden 

County, water levels were 3. 06 to 11.94 feet lower than in December 1953.

KENTUCKY

By G. E. Hendrickson, E. A. Bell, and R. W. Kellogg

Scope of Water-Level Program

The statewide observation-well program was continued in 1954 in cooperation with the 

Agricultural and Industrial Development Board of Kentucky. Of the 88 observation wells included 

in this report (see figs. 19 and 20), 31 have records of 10 years or more, 26 have records of 5 to 

10 years, and 31 have records of less than 5 years. The water-level program is a part of a comprehensive investigation of the ground-water resources of the State. This includes reconnaissance 

investigations of the availability of ground water for public, industrial, agricultural, and domestic 

use in the entire State, collection of records of water levels in observation wells and of discharge 

of springs, and detailed investigations in selected small areas. Reports on public and industrial 

water supplies of the Jackson Purchase region, Blue Grass region, and Western Coal Field region 

were published as Circulars 287, 299, and 339.

Precipitation

The drought of 1952 and 1953 continued into the summer of 1954. The drought was broken 

by above-normal precipitation in August and September. However, the total precipitation for the 

year at Louisville (city station), according to the U. S. Weather Bureau, was only 33.36 inches, 

8.24 inches below the 1921-50 normal of 41. 60 inches.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Fluctuations in water levels measure changes in ground-water storage. The water level at 

any given time indicates the balance between recharge and discharge in the aquifer. Rising water 

levels indicate that more water is being recharged than discharged, and falling water levels indicate that more water is being discharged than recharged. Recharge to the aquifers in Kentucky 

is generally from local precipitation and from infiltration of surface water. Discharge is chiefly 

to streams and springs, although some ground water is lost by evapotranspiration, and,locally, 

water is pumped from wells. In Kentucky, outside of heavily pumped areas, water levels are 

generally highest in late winter and early spring and lowest in late summer and early fall. During 

the growing season, soil moisture is depleted, rainfall is retained by the soil, and little water 

reaches the ground-water body. During this period, discharge to streams is greater than recharge from precipitation, and water levels fall. Later, after the frost has halted the growth of 

most vegetation, the soil-moisture deficiency is satisfied and more water can reach the groundwater body. Recharge by precipitation is then greater than discharge to streams, and water 

levels rise. Other factors affecting the fluctuation of water levels in wells in Kentucky are 

changes in water level in nearby streams (especially during floods), changes in barometric pressure, and changes in pumpage. In most areas in Kentucky, fresh water does not travel more 

than a few miles from the place of recharge to the place of discharge. Consequently, changes in 

water levels in individual observation wells reflect only local changes in ground-water storage. 

To determine the changes in storage in broad areas, it is necessary to maintain a number of 

observation wells which penetrate the different aquifers in various topographic situations. In the 

Jackson Purchase region and in the deep saline aquifers elsewhere in the State, ground water 

may move several tens of miles from the point of recharge to the point of discharge. Changes 

in water levels in wells in these deep aquifers may indicate changes in storage in larger areas.

Figure 21 shows the hydrographs of five wells in Kentucky which are more or less typical 

of aquifers other than the Ohio Valley alluvium. Figure22 shows the hydrographs of seven wells 

in the Ohio Valley alluvium, the major producing aquifer of the State.

Johnson County well 8245-3745-404, in the Breathitt formation in a valley bottom in the 

Eastern Coal Field region, is more or less typical of valley wells in this region. The hydrograph 

of this well (fig. 21) shows a seasonal cycle of declining water levels during the growing season 

and rising water levels in the late fall and winter. The winter high is generally 2^ to 3 feet higher 

than the late summer low-water stage. Minor fluctuations of a magnitude of about 1 foot or less 

are probably due to the effect of local rains or local flooding of the nearby streams. Minor fluctuations of a few tenths of a foot, not readily apparent in the hydrograph, are due to changes in 

barometric pressure.

Christian County well 8725-3650-74, a water-table well in the Ste. Genevieve limestone in 

a valley bottom in the Mississippian Plateau region, is more or less typical of valley wells in the 

soluble limestones of the Meramec group,which underlie about half of the Mississippian 

Plateau region. The hydrograph of this well (fig. 21) shows a rapid response to local rainfall. 

The seasonal cycle is not very apparent in 1950, an unusually wet year, but it is conspicuous in 

the years 1951 to 1954. Disregarding the short-term rises due to local precipitation, water levels 

during the years 1951 to 1954 were generally 5 to 10 feet higher in the late winter than in the late 

summer or fall seasons. The storage coefficient of the limestone in this area has been determined to be about 0. 006. Thus,a seasonal fluctuation of water level of about 5 feet represents a 

change in storage of about 0. 36 inch.

Henderson County well 8730-3750-143, in an area of alluvial terraces along the Ohio River 

in the Western Coal Field region, is an artesian well in the sandstone and shale of the Carbondale 

formation. The hydrograph of this well (fig. 21) shows a seasonal cycle which lags behind the 

cycle indicated for the wells described above. The cause of this lag in time may be that the recharge area of the aquifer is located some distance away from the well. The amplitude of the 

seasonal cycle was about 10 feet in the years 1950 to 1952 but only 4 feet in 1953 and 2 feet in 

1954. The decline of low-water stages from 1950 to 1954 was about 7 feet. The storage coefficient of the aquifer in this area has not been determined, and no estimate of the changes in storage 

can be made.

Galloway County well 8815-3635-6 is an artesian well in sand of the Ripley formation, one 

of the major aquifers in the Jackson Purchase region. The record of water levels (fig. 21) was 

interrupted in 1949. The available record indicates a fairly steady rise in water levels from 

1948 to 1953 and little change in 1954. The gradual rise of water levels in the dry years of 1952 

and 1953 may be due to the distance from the well to the recharge area,or it may be due to changes 

in pumping in nearby wells. A seasonal cycle is apparent in this hydrograph, but it is of small 

magnitude (less than 1 foot) and is partly obscured by minor fluctuations which may be due to 

nearby pumping or to changes in barometric pressure.

GravesCounty well 8835-3650-17 is an artesian well in the Holly Springs sand, another 

major aquifer in the Jackson Purchase region. The hydrograph (fig. 21) shows a seasonal cycle having an amplitude of about 4 feet. The seasonal low-water level declined about 1 foot during 

the period 1951 to 1954. The pronounced seasonal fluctuations and prompt response to drought 

conditions suggest that the recharge area for the aquifer penetrated by this well is closer to the 

well than is the case in Galloway County well 8815-3635-6.

The similarity of hydrographs for comparable wells in the Ohio River flood plain (fig. 22) 

is apparent. The wells in Kenton and Daviess Counties are affected by nearby pumping. The 

wells in Boyd, Jefferson, and Henderson Counties are in unpumped areas. Boyd County well 

8235-3825-1, Kenton County well 8430-3905-15, Jefferson County well 41-16-3, and Daviess County 

well 8705- 3745-4 are near the river. Water-level fluctuations in these wells show the effects 

of changes of river stage. Water-level fluctuations in Kenton County well 8430-3900-103, Jefferson County well 50-10-2, and Henderson County well 8720-3750-152 (away from the river) show 

the normal effects of precipitation. Because of no significant river rise and less-than-normal 

precipitation in 1952, 1953, and 1954, the magnitude of the fluctuations of the water levels has 

decreased. The amplitude of the water-level fluctuations in the wells near the river in the spring 

of 1953 and 1954 were from 10 to 15 feet less than those of previous years. The seasonal fluctuations in wells away from the river during 1953 and 1954 were very small, and the downward 

trends for those years indicate continuing loss of ground-water storage.

Louisville area. In the Louisville area, the total pumpage of ground water in 1954 was 

30. 0 mgd (million gallons per day), of which 1.1 mgd was returned through recharge wells. The 

net withdrawal of 28. 9 mgd in 1954 was 0. 2 mgd less than in 1953 and about the same as in 1952. 

Net pumpage in 1954 exceeded natural recharge to the area by 9. 6 mgd. Figure 23 shows pumpage 

since 1937 and changes in storage since 1943. Large withdrawals from storage were associated 

w,ith the peak pumpages of 1943 and 1944. The excess of recharge over pumpage in 1945 was 

caused primarily by a major flood of the Ohio River which resulted in an abnormally large infiltration of river water. For the period 1946 through 1952, pumpage and natural recharge were 

nearly in balance, except in 1950 when above-normal recharge from rainfall reflected the effects 

of the wettest year of record. The excess of pumpage over natural recharge in 1952, 1953, and 

1954 reflected the drought conditions in the Louisville area in that period.

In the Louisville area, changes of water levels during 1954 ranged from a net rise of 

3. 5 feet in an observation well near the river southwest of the city to a net decline of about 6 feet 

in the heavily pumped Rubbertown area. Water levels declined an average of 2. 38 feet, representing an estimated loss of ground-water storage for the year of about 9. 5 mgd. The effects of 

less-than-norir.al precipitation and higher-than-normal temperatures for the period 1952 through 

1954 were major factors contributing to the decline. There has been no significant river rise 

since the spring of 1952. The graph of well 50-10-2, figure 24, is typical of those for wells in 

the unpumped area southwest of the city. The downward trend during the past 2^ years reflecting 

drought conditions contrasts sharply with the record-high levels which correlated with the wet 

years of 1950 and 1951.

Figure 25. Water level and pumpage in west-central part of 

Louisville, Ky., area, 1943-54.
KENTUCKY 141

In the downtown area of Louisville (east of meridian 85°46' and north of parallel 38°13'), 

water levels declined about 1. 5 feet during 1954. The graph of well 45-15-36 (fig. 24) is representative of this area in which ground water is pumped for air conditioning. After the 1937 flood, 

water levels were at record-high stages. After the floodwater receded, a downward trend continued until the low of 1949. From 1950 through 1953, water levels were fairly stable, seasonal 

recoveries approximately balancing seasonal drawdowns. The low of record in October 1954 

indicates less-than-normal recharge to the area.

In the west-central industrial area (west of meridian 85°46' and north of parallel 380 13'), 

water levels fell about 2. 5 feet during 1954. The total pumpage in that area in 1954 was about 

the same as that of 1953. Figure 25 shows the graph of wells 46-14-1 and 46-14-28 as representative of the area and a graph of the pumpage since 1943. The gradual rise of the water table 

in this area for the period 1949 through 1952 was caused by decreased pumping and above-normal 

precipitation; conversely, the decline of the water table during the past 2 years was caused by 

slightly increased pumping and below-normal precipitation.

In the distillery area south of Louisville, water levels declined an average of 2.9 feet in 

1954. Figure 26 shows the hydrograph for well 47-12-1 and a graph of the pumpage since 1937. 

The water-level fluctuations are typical of those in the area. Though the pumpage in that area in 

1954 was about the same as in 1950, the water levels in 1954 were, in general, about 5 feet lower 

than in 1950.

In the Rubbertown area, water levels declined an average of about 2.4 feet during 1954, the 

fifth consecutive year in which that area has sustained a net loss. In general, the post-war recovery of water levels in wells in the Rubbertown area reached a maximum in 1948 and 1949. 

Since then,the levels have declined more than halfway to the critical lows of 1944. Figure 27 

shows the hydrograph for well 49-13-24 and a graph of pumpage since 1942. The water-level 

fluctuations are typical of those in the northern part of the Rubbertown area. The sharp reversal 

of the trend of water levels in wells in the northern part of the Rubbertown area in 1953 was the 

result of supplementing ground water with river water. In that part of Rubbertown, water levels 

in wells rose slightly during the year. However, in other parts of the area, water levels continued 

the downward trend of the past 4 years. Total pumpage for Rubbertown in 1954 was about the 

same as that of 1953.

A map of the Louisville area showing contours of water level in December 1954 is given in 

figure 28. The general pattern is similar to that of 1953, except that the cones of depression have 

expanded somewhat. A large area of depression is indicated in the Rubbertown area and a lesser 

depression in the central part of the city. The contours indicate infiltration from the river northeast of the city and in the Rubbertown area. In the southwestern part of the area, contours higher 

than 383 altitude indicate flow toward the river. Figure 29 shows changes in the shape of the 

water table during 1954. The general decline reflects relatively small natural recharge due to 

below-normal precipitation in 1952, 1953, and 1954. The dome and depressions southwest of the 

city indicate a shifting of the effective center of pumping in the Rubbertown area. Figure 30 shows 

changes in the water table during the 6-year period December 1948 to December 1954. The 

shaded portion in the Rubbertown area indicates declines greater than 5 feet caused by sustained 

heavy pumping. The losses of ground-water storage during the past 3 years have more than offset'the gains of several previous years.

Well-Numbering System

Excepting the Louisville area in Jefferson County, the State has been divided into quadrangles formed by the 5-minute meridians and parallels. Wells inventoried in each of the quadrangles are numbered beginning with 1. Wells are designated by a composite of three numbers; the 

first indicates the degrees and minutes of longitude, the second the degrees and minutes of latitude, and the third the number of the well in that quadrangle. Thus, well 8715-3650-1 is the first 

well inventoried in the 5-minute quadrangle west of 87° 15* longitude and north of 36° 50' latitude. 

A similar numbering system is used for wells in the Louisville area, which lies between longitude 85° and 86° and between latitude 38° and 39°, except that the quadrangles are bounded by 

1-minute meridians and parallels. The well designation omits the degrees, using only minutes 

of longitude and latitude. Thus, well 45-14-2 is the second well inventoried in the 1-minute quadrangle west of 85°45' longitude and north of 38°14' latitude. Location of wells in the Louisville 

.area included in the water-level report is shown on figure 20.

h Tape measurement.
MARYLAND

By Claire A. Richardson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Maryland was continued during 1954 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. Measurements were made in 101 

observation wells: 10 in the Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces, 18 in the Piedmont province, and 73 in the Coastal Plain province. Figures 31 and 32 show the location of 

observation wells.

From 1949 through 1953, water-level measurements in Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, 

Queen Annes, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties were listed under the heading 

"Eastern Shore."

Precipitation

The annual precipitation in Maryland in 1954 was 34. 45 inches, which was 7. 54 inches below 

normal. In March, August, and October the precipitation was 0. 26 to 0.78 inch above normal; 

in the other months it was less than normal, being as much as 2. 22 inches below normal in June.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Appalachian Plateau and Ridge and Valley provinces. --The water levels in all but 2 wells 

showed a net rise for the year, the average net rise for the entire area being 3. 98 feet. The net 

rise in well Wa-Bh 3 near Hagerstown, Washington County, amounted to 16.22 feet. Most highs 

were scattered through the first 5 months of the year; most lows occurred in January and 

February. Record highs were reached in 2 wells in March, and a record low was reached in 

1 well in December. This was the only area showing a net rise for the year. This part of the 

State had above-normal precipitation in March, when one Weather Bureau station reported 

2. 97 inches above normal, arid in October, when the passage of hurricane "Hazel" resulted in 

5.09 inches above normal at Oakland, Garrett County.

Piedmont province. --The water levels in all observation wells in this province showed a net 

decline for 1954, the average decline being 3. 69 feet. The decline amounted to as much as 

11. 08 feet in well Mont-Dc 1 at Dawsonville, Montgomery County. Most highs were reached in 

April and May, and most lows were reached in November and December. This conforms to the 

usual seasonal cycle found in water-table wells in Maryland. A record high was established in 

Carroll County well Car-Dd 2 in May, and record lows were established in 4 wells in the fall 

and early winter.

Baltimore industrial area. The water levels in most wells in this area showed a net decline 

for the year, the average net decline being 0.39 foot. Two wells in the Sparrows Point district 

(Bal-Gf 168 and Bal-Gf 169) showed net declines of 9. 79 and 8. 04 feet, respectively. Record 

highs were reached in 4 wells and record lows in 2 wells. Most highs for the year were scattered 

from February through June, and most lows were in February, September, and December. Net 

rises for the year occurred in the Curtis Bay, Fairfield, Dundalk, and Bay Shore Park districts. 

Net declines for the year occurred in the Poplar, Back River, Sparrows Point, Highlandtown, and 

Harbor districts. All the observation wells in the Baltimore industrial area end in either the 

Patuxent or the Patapsco formation. Water levels in wells ending in the Patuxent formation 

showed a net rise of 1.00 foot, and the levels in wells in the Patapsco formation showed a decline 

of 3.74 feet. All wells in the Baltimore industrial area, with one or two exceptions, are artesian 

wells. Therefore, they reflect changes in pumping rather than changes in the level of the water 

table. Some wells show a seasonal decline in water level during the summer, usually due to an 

increased use of water at that time.

Coastal Plain (western part). --The water levels in the part of the Coastal Plain west of 

Chesapeake Bay showed an average net decline of 0. 33 foot for 1954. Most wells in this area are 

artesian wells, and several of them reflect chiefly changes in pumpage rather than fluctuations 

due solely to natural causes. Thus,well Ch-Cb 7 at Indian Head, Charles County, in the Patapsco 

formation, showed a net decline of 3. 57 feet; well AA-Cd 10 at Crownsville, Anne Arundel County,

ending in the same formation, showed a net rise of 7.33 feet. Record lows were reached in 

8 wells. Most highs occurred in February and June; most lows in October, November, and 

December.

Coastal Plain (eastern part). --The water levels in the part of the province east of Chesapeake Bay showed an average net decline of 1. 52 feet for 1954. Most highs occurred in January, 

March, April, and May; most lows in September, November, and December. Record highs were 

reached in 5 wells, and record lows were reached in 17 wells. Most observation wells in this 

area are water-table wells and therefore reflect chiefly seasonal fluctuations in the water table. 

The levels in five of the artesian wells (Dor-Bd 2, Dor-Ce 22, Tal-Ed 6, Dor-Dd 6, and Dor-Ed 1) 

reflect pumping from the so-called "400-foot" aquifer at Cambridge. Well Dor-Bd 2, nearest 

the center of pumpage, showed a net decline of 7.43 feet; the farthest well, Dor-Ed 1, showed a 

net decline of only 1.43 feet.

Well-Numbering System

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

5-minute quadrangles. Each quadrangle from north to south is designated by uppercase letters 

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

in the order in which they were inventoried. A different well-numbering system is used for wells 

in Baltimore City. All wells within the city limits are referred to mile squares which are in 

turn referred to the Washington Monument, near the center of the city. Thus,well 2S3E-9 is in 

the square mile that is 2 miles south and 3 miles east of the Washington Monument and was the 

ninth well inventoried in that square.

MISSISSIPPI

By J. W. Lang and E. H. Boswell

Scope of Water-Level Program

Ground-\vater studies in Mississippi were resumed in July 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Geological Survey. A previous cooperative program begun in 1938 was suspended in 1947. 

The State Survey continued the observation-well program from 1948 to 1953. A summary of the 

water levels and artesian pressures, measured by both the Federal and State Surveys before 

1953, is given in State Bulletin 77, Water Levels and Artesian Pressures in Observation Wells 

in Mississippi, 1938-1952. The last annual water-level report for Mississippi was included in 

Water-Supply Paper 1097 (1947). The present report includes water levels for the period 1948- 

54. In the 1954 observation-well program, 55 wells were maintained and 305 individual measurements made. All major aquifers in the State are represented. Recording gages were in operation on 8 of the wells for at least a part of the year. Figure 33 shows the location of observation 

wells whose records are included in this report. Seasonal water-level measurements for special 

studies made in 300 wells in northeastern and northwestern Mississippi are not included in this 

report.

Precipitation

Precipitation in 1954 averaged 39.77 inches, 13.70 inches below normal. The year was the 

driest since 1899. May, with 5.72 inches, was the wettest month; August, with 1. 43 inches, was 

the driest. The greatest departure from normal was in the northern half of the State, where 

severe drought conditions existed. In 1953, although the average precipitation was 56. 86 inches 

(April, May, and December were excessively wet), the summer and fall deficiency was 7. 20 inches. 

In 1952, precipitation averaged only 41.18 inches; a severe drought continued from June through 

December. The largest volume of recharge to the ground-water reservoirs is supplied by winter 

and spring rainfall. Intermittent heavy local rains commonly fall in July, August, and September 

as a result of moisture-laden air currents flowing inland off the Gulf of Mexico. When these 

summer rains are torrential, although they contribute substantial ground-water recharge, a 

large percent of the water runs off in surface streams. In the Alluvial Plain, recharge is reflected in the water-table fluctuations within a few hours to a few days after falling. In the deeper 

artesian aquifers in the Meridian sand member of the Tallahatta formation and in sands-of the 

Wilcox formation, the response to rainfall is of a slower seasonal nature.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Mississippi is within the Coastal Plain province, except a small area in the northeastern 

corner of the State. The Coastal Plain formations--unconsolidated clay, chalk, marl, sand, and 

gravel furnish most of the municipal, industrial, and about 65 percent of the irrigation water 

supplies in the State, the remainder being derived from surface streams and reservoirs. The 

most extensive increase recently in the rate of use of ground water has been from the permeable 

sands and gravels of Quaternary age, in the Alluvial Plain (Yazoo Delta), a lens-shaped area of 

about 6, 600 square miles in the northwestern part of the State. These sands and gravels have an 

average thickness of about 140 feet. Here, the number of wells used for irrigation increased 

from about 30 in 1950 to 450 by the end of 1954, the greatest concentration being in Bolivar and 

Washington Counties,where there is a large rice acreage. Of the 300 wells used for rice irrigation, the yield per well ranged from about 1, 500 to 4, 500 gpm (gallons per minute), the average 

being about 2, 000 gpm. Most of the 150 wells used for irrigation of pasture and row crops had 

yields ranging from about 400 to 1, 500 gpm. In 1954, the total use of ground water from the 

alluvium was estimated to be 330, 000 acre-feet. Because irrigation is seasonal, the water levels 

stand highest before pumping begins in the spring, then decline during the summer. After the end 

of pumping in the fall, the water levels begin to rise and tend to stand near the previous spring 

levels by the beginning of the next irrigation season. The water levels also respond to seasonal 

precipitation, normally highest in winter and early spring and lowest during summer and fall. 

The regional water table declined from 1. 5 to 2 feet in the Yazoo Delta as a result of the drought 

during 1954. The change in water level in Yazoo County well Bl, in an unpumped area, is representative of the regional decline caused by the drought. The water level in Bolivar County well 

O10, in the center of a heavily pumped locality, declined about 5 feet during 1954, about 2 feet of 

which was probably due to the drought and 3 feet to local pumping. Further recovery in this well 

has been recorded since the December 1954 measurement. Widespread supplemental irrigation of 

pasture and various row crops increased in parts of the State in 1954 because of the drought. 

There was also a large increase in the industrial use of ground water in the State. Plants at

MISSISSIPPI, BOLIVAR COUNTY 211

Clarksdale, Greenwood, Greenville, Yazoo City, Natchez, "and Laurel pumped large volumes of 

water for cooling, processing, and other uses. Artesian wells have been developed in several 

aquifers ranging in age from Cretaceous in the northeastern part of the State to Quaternary along 

the Gulf Coast. The information obtained thus far on the water levels in the artesian aquifers indicates a general net decline, the cumulative average decline amounting to about 18 feet since 

1939. The decline in water levels is the result of the increase in the number of wells drilled and 

the waste of water from uncontrolled flowing artesian wells. Figure 34 shows the general downward trends of water levels since 1940 in Coahoma County well E132 and Tunica County well G117, 

which penetrate sands of the Wilcox formation. The water levels declined from 45 to 25 feet above 

land surface in well E132 and from 32 to 15 feet in well G117. On the other hand, a static water 

level of 142 feet above land surface was measured in Yazoo County well B103, a supply well in the 

Meridian sand member of the Tallahatta formation drilled in 1954 for the town of Eden. This may 

be the highest water level recorded in the entire Gulf Coastal Plain.

In the Jackson area, there has been considerable increase in the use of water from wells in 

the Sparta sand during the past few years. Figure 35 shows the fluctuations of water levels in 1954 

in Hinds County well H160, about 6 miles from the center of heavy pumping, and N139, near the 

center of heavy pumping, in the Sparta sand. Much of the heavy pumping in the area is for heatexchange purposes. Many of the wells are shut down during the late fall, winter, and early spring. 

Records indicate that during the past 30 years the water level in the Sparta sand has declined an 

average of about 60 feet at Jackson.

Increasing withdrawals of ground-water supplies in the Gulf Coastal area resulted in recordlow water levels in 1952, 1953, and 1954. A maximum drop of 19 feet was recorded between 

April 1948 and September 1952 in Harrison County well M169. Harrison County well M120 in 

Biloxi, which had a water level of 44 feet above land surface in 1903, has not flowed at land surface since 1952 and in June 1954 reached a low of 30. 85 feet below land-surface datum. Both 

wells reflect local pumpage from the Graham Ferry formation amounting to a combined average 

in excess of 4 mgd (million gallons per day) for public, military, and industrial purposes. The 

recovery of about 16 feet in Jones County well G101 as shown by April measurements in 1948 and 

1954 is the result of curtailment of pumping for industrial use.

Well-Numbering System

In previous water-level reports, observation wells in Mississippi have been listed alphabetically by counties and numerically within each county. In this report, the system of a letter to 

identify the grid and consecutive well numbers in each grid is used. For each county, the grids 

are designated alphabetically beginning with A in the upper left corner. The grid lines follow the 

township lines except for areas smaller than half a township in size. These are included with an 

adjoining township.

NORTH CAROLINA

By H. E. LeGrand and Marjorie S. Reid

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program, begun in 1931, was continued in 1954 as a part of the investigation of ground-water resources in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. Measurements of water levels were made in 27 wells in 19 counties. 

The network includes 12 artesian wells and 15 water-table wells, 4 of which are equipped with 

recording gages. Figure 36 shows the location of observation wells in North Carolina.

Precipitation

In 1954 the average precipitation at all Weather Bureau stations in the State was 42.38 inches, 

which was 6.75 inches below normal. For the months of June, July, August, and September, the 

average total rainfall was only 11.85 inches, 8.39 inches below normal. Below-average water 

levels occurred in the water-table wells during the late summer and autumn. The drought was 

preceded by normal winter precipitation.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

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

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

on the Coastal Plain are slightly greater than the slope of the land surface, so that artesian water 

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

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

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

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

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

the surface almost everywhere and in the fractures in the underlying bedrock. Although water 

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

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

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

Most of the wells are far removed from pumping wells; consequently, the changes in their water 

levels are due to natural causes. It should be emphasized that withdrawal of ground water has had 

no widespread effect on the regional water levels. This may be attributed either to the low wateryielding capacity of some of the deposits or to the great dispersion in population and consequent 

small withdrawal of water, or to a combination of these factors. The water levels measured are 

chiefly those of the water table, but some represent the piezometric surface expressing the artesian water level. Water-table wells in the Coastal Plain generally respond much more quickly 

to rainfall than do wells in the Piedmont because the water table is generally closer to the surface and the surficial deposits are more permeable.

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

usually starting in December or 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 water 

table rises in late winter or spring because very little water is lost by evaporation or is used by 

vegetation; thus, a relatively large part of the precipitation reaches the water table. Although 

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

table because the amount used by vegetation and evaporation is large. The range in the water 

level in the artesian aquifers is generally slight, except near areas of recharge and near areas 

where water is pumped from the same aquifer. For example, Hertford County well 13 is at a 

.distance from pumping and from recharge to the aquifer which it penetrates; consequently, it 

.expresses a water level which fluctuated only 0. 53 foot in 1954 and which has had a fluctuating 

range of only 4.21 feet since 1947. Water levels were below normal before the 1954 drought

because of the drought during the summer of 1953. Consequently, in 11 of 12 water-table wells 

that were measured frequently, the water level was lower in December 1954 than in December 

1952.

Well-Numbering System

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

of location within the counties.

SOUTH CAROLINA

By G. E. Siple and R. W. Jones

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1954 as part of the cooperative agreement 

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

Development Board (renamed the State Development Board). Periodic measurements by wetted 

tape, pressure gage, or manometer were made in 15 wells in the Coastal Plain province. Four 

wells were equipped with recording gages during all or part of 1954. Figure 37 shows the 

location of observation wells included in this report.

Precipitation

The average annual rainfall reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau during 1954 amounted 

to 32.96 inches, nearly 3 inches less than the record low of 35.77 inches in 1933. The disastrous drought starting in February, which had but 38 percent of normal precipitation, extended 

through October. The precipitation for June was an alltime low for the month (1.85 inches). 

During the period June through September, temperatures averaged 2.1° above normal, and 

precipitation was only 46 percent of normal. The hurricane "Hazel" accompanied by torrential 

rains caused extensive damage along the seacoast on October 15. Rainfall during November and 

December was more nearly normal, and water levels in some wells showed partial recoveries.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The aquifers of the South Carolina Coastal Plain province consist of beds of sand, gravel, 

and limestone,ranging from Late Cretaceous to Recent in age. They generally crop out in belts 

in a northeast-southwest direction, dipping from 8 to 30 feet per jnile to the south-southeast 

Water-table aquifers are present in shallow deposits in the entire Coastal Plain. Artesian 

aquifers in the greater part of the same area are at depths of from 100 to 3,400 feet. Waterlevel fluctuations in water-table aquifers can usually be correlated with precipitation in the 

immediate areas. This correlation is most apparent during the period from November through 

April. The normal cycle of water-level fluctuations indicates a recovery during the late autumn 

or early winter, reaching a maximum in late spring. The levels decline to a minimum in midsummer and complete the cycle by the recovery in autumn. Normally, the highest rainfall 

occurs during July and August However, the high rates of evaporation and transpiration, in 

addition to the large amount of surface runoff characteristic of summer thundershowers, prevent the recharging of the ground-water reservoir.

Wells SU-1 and SU-2, in water-table aquifers, are situated in the Pocotaligo River basin 

about 12 miles apart. During 1953 and 1954, the general trends of the water levels in these 

wells were the same, although the reported rainfall differed by as much as 1.6 inches in one 

monthly period. Essentially, the hydrographs represent depletion curves showing the loss of 

water from the aquifer during the drought.

Fluctuations of water levels in artesian wells are caused by several factors, such as 

proximity to pumping wells, changes in atmospheric pressure, oceanic tides, earth tides, and 

other loading phenomena. In many instances, the cycle of water-level fluctuation in these wells 

will indicate a similarity to the cyclic trends for water-table wells in that the highs are pronounced in the winter and spring months and the lows in the summer months. Some typical 

examples are the water levels for wells DOR-1, FLO-1, and HO-3. Figure 38 shows the hydrographs of some of these wells. The water-level changes in AK-1 reflect correlative changes in 

barometric pressure. The barometric efficiency of this well has been calculated to range from 

33 to 40 percent.

New lowest water levels of record were observed in wells AK-1, AL-1, BRK-1, FLO-1, 

HO-1, ORB-2, SU-1, and SU-2. There is no sustained pumping within several miles of AK-1, 

HO-1, or SU-1. The downward trend in piezometric level of AL-1, which continued throughout 

1954, may be caused by the drought. The hydrograph for HO-3 shows the effect of the drought 

in that the water level in the well did not make the normal recovery during the late autumn. 

The low water levels in BRK-1 were caused by pumping. Previously this well was not used.

Figure 39. --Range of water levels in 1954 and range of water levels observed during 

period of record in selected wells in South Carolina.
240 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

New high water levels of record were observed in BW-1 and DOR-1. Higher water levels 

occurred in BW-1 because of decreased pumping in the immediate vicinity. The town of Barnwell placed several new wells in service at some distance from BW-1, thereby decreasing the 

withdrawal of water from the well field in which BW-1 is situated.

In order to determine the amplitude of water-level fluctuations in ORB-2 attributable to 

pumping in a well only a few feet away, a recording gage was installed in the observation well on 

January 20 and removed on October 18. Usable records were obtained for 213 days during this 

period. The average daily fluctuation due to pumping was 1.31 feet, the largest observed being 

1.56 feet and the smallest 1.04 feet. The total range of fluctuation (highest high to lowest low) 

amounted to 2. 56 feet. Thus, the change in water level because of pumping accounts for 61 percent of the total fluctuation. However, the hydrograph shows an almost progressive decline in 

mean water level in this well over the yearly period. Figure 39 shows a comparison between the 

range of water levels observed during 1954 and past observations of high and low water levels.

TENNESSEE

By J. H. Criner, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Tennessee was started in Memphis in 1940 and expanded 

to include west Tennessee in 1947 and central and east Tennessee in 1949. The program was 

continued in 1954 cooperatively with the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division and the Tennessee 

Department of Conservation, Division of Geology. It provides factual evidence of water-level 

trends and is the basis for more comprehensive investigations of ground-water resources in the 

State. Measurements in 52 observation wells are reported, 29 of which were equipped with 

recording gages. Figures 40, 41, and 42 show the location of observation wells. Reports on 

ground water in the central basin of Tennessee and on geologic source and chemical quality of 

public ground-water supplies of western Tennessee were released during the year. A report on 

ground-water resources of east Tennessee and a memorandum of the post-Paleocene subsurface 

stratigraphy of the Memphis area were completed.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for Tennessee in 1954 was 45.80 inches,which is 4.39 inches 

below normal. The following table gives the annual precipitation and departure from normal at 

selected stations in the Tertiary outcrop belt of west Tennessee. Most of the municipal and 

industrial supplies of we^t Tennessee are obtained from sands of Tertiary age.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

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

Memphis area in 1954. This fact can be attributed primarily to increased pumping. A drought 

(more severe than the droughts of 1952 and 1953) starting in February and continuing throughout 

the year was the major cause of the increase, especially in municipal pumping. The average 

decline of water levels was about 4. 4 feet from the lowest of 1953 to the lowest of 1954. The 

greatest decline was in the area of the Thomas H. Alien pumping station, which has been in operation since 1953. The decline in the area was about 11 feet in 1954. Figure 43 shows the fluctuations of water levels in three wells screened in the "500-foot" sand. The water levels in observation wells screened in the "1, 400-foot sand of the Memphis area averaged about 3. 7 feet lower 

than the lowest levels in 1953. There was a slight increase in pumpage attributed primarily to 

drought conditions. The general trend of the water level was not changed. Figure 44 shows the 

water-level fluctuations in four observation wells screened in the "1, 400-foot" sand. Decline of 

water levels in wells in central and east Tennessee is attributed to drought conditions and natural 

discharge.

Well-Numbering System

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

by a colon, and the second and third by a hyphen. The first item represents the county in which 

the well is situated, the second is the number assigned the owner or well field, and the third is 

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

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

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

order as the wells were recorded by the Geological Survey. The third item, the number of the 

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

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

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

well field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, where the water of about 100 wells 

flowed through tunnels into the so-called "wet well", is field 3 in Shelby County, and the shafts 

that were used to inspect the tunnels and drifts of that field, 25 in all, have been lettered to 

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

VIRGINIA

By Paul M. Johns ton and Alien Sinnott

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Virginia was continued in 1954 in cooperation with the 

Virginia Division of Geology (formerly Virginia Geological Survey). In northern Virginia, 

month-end tape measurements were made in 5 wells; in eastern Virginia, measurements were 

made in 8 wells, 2 of which are equipped with recording gages. Figure 45 shows the location of 

the observation wells in Virginia.

Precipitation

The precipitation and departure from normal, recorded by the U. S. Weather Bureau at 

the Washington National Airport in 1954, are representative of the precipitation in the northern 

part of Virginia. The following table shows that the precipitation was 12.20 inches below 

normal in 1954.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Northern Virginia. --Observation wells in northern Virginia range in depth from 7 to 

35 feet. The Bell and Swart wells are 7 and 10 feet deep, respectively, in alluvium of Recent 

age. The Bacon well is 24 feet deep in weathered quartz-mica schist. The Halls Hill and Ross 

wells, 35 and 28 feet deep, respectively, end in decomposed granitic rock overlain by sands 

and gravels of Plfacene(?) and Pleistocene ages. All the wells are shallow; hence, variations in 

precipitation are reflected rapidly in the water levels. The deficiency in precipitation in 1954 

is reflected in a decline of water levels in all the wells except the Swart well in the flood plain 

of Difficult Run.

The following table shows the water level in each well at the beginning and end of 1954, 

the net change (+rise, -decline), the highest and lowest levels recorded during the year, and the 

range in level.

278 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The water level in the Bacon well declined 3. 58 feet in 1954. This well was pumped 

intermittently after July 31 for the first time in many years. The greatest decline in a well 

unaffected by pumping was 1. 61 feet in the Bell well. In 1953 the water level in this well had 

declined 2.81 feet. The greatest range in water level (more than 5.14 feet) also occurred in 

this well, which was dry from August to November. The average net decline for the two deepest 

wells (Halls Hill and Ross) was 1. 05 feet.

Eastern Virginia. In 1954, the range of fluctuation of the water level in Accomack County 

well 8 at the Chincoteague Naval Auxiliary Air Station was less than 1 foot. The high for the year 

was on March 29; the low, on September 8. The 1954 year-end level was 0.1 foot below that of 

1953.

Reflecting the drought in the summer and early fall of 1954, the water level in Chesterfield 

County well 36 declined from June through November, when it was more than 1 foot lower than at 

the end of 1953 but still if feet above the lowest of record. The rainfall at Richmond was 

11. 44 inches below normal in 1954, compared with 9.16 inches below normal in 1953.

The water level in Isle of Wight County well 161 at the pulp mill in East Franklin continued 

to decline in response to heavy industrial pumping, reaching a record low in mid-October of 

50.17 feet. The recent lows of record have been 44.10 feet, November 2, 1953; 35.07, October 27, 

1952; 32.85, September 17, 1951; and 27.61, December 18, 1950. Temporary recovery of several feet occurred when the mill was shut down over holidays.

Because of deficient rainfall in the fall of 1953, the spring recovery of the water level in 

Louisa County well 1 was more than 8 feet lower than the record high of April 4, 1953. Because 

of the prolonged drought in the summer of 1954, the water level reached a record low on November 1. In response to ample rainfall accompanying hurricane "Hazel" in the fall of 1954, the water 

level recovered more than 2 feet. The December month-end measurement in 1954 was slightly 

higher than the 1953 end-of-year measurement.

The usual seasonal fluctuation pattern was noted in Prince George County well 13 at the Old 

Dominion Water Corp. in Hopewell. Artificial recharge of cold water was probably carried on 

from mid-January to early May at the nearby Solvay Process plant. The water level was lowered 

from June to early November because of the pumping that began late in May. When the pumping 

stopped in November, the water level recovered, rising to 37. 86 feet on December 31.

Pumping from recently constructed industrial wells at Franklin apparently caused the decline 

in water level in Southampton County well 29 at Sebrell to continue in 1954. The record low of 

November 30 was nearly 2 feet below the 1953 low and 4 feet below the 1952 low.

In 1953, measurements in Southampton County well 205 at Franklin showed a pattern of 

steady decline, reaching a record low in December that was nearly 4 feet below the 1952 low. In 

1954, although a record low was reached on July 31, the steady decline observed in 1953 subsided. 

At the end of 1954, the level had recovered to 53f feet--2f feet below the year-end measurement 

in 1953

The water level in Sussex County well 90 at Wakefield continued to decline in 1954, reaching 

a new low on September 7. The decline is believed to be caused by the heavy industrial pumping 

at Franklin, about 20 miles to the south-southeast. There was a recovery of about 1 foot by the 

end of 1954.

WEST VIRGINIA

By C. W. Carlston

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Geological, and Economic Survey, was continued in 1954. Measurements of water levels were 

made in 17 wells, 4 of which are equipped with recording gages. Figure 46 shows the location 

of observation wells in West Virginia. A report on the ground-water resources of the Ohio River 

valley in West Virginia was completed.

Precipitation

In 1954, precipitation was greatly above normal in the central part and below normal in 

the southwestern part of the State. Elsewhere, precipitation was slightly to moderately above 

normal. During the first half of 1954, precipitation throughout the State was below normal to 

slightly above normal, February being the driest since 1941. July and August, as a result of 

high precipitation accompanying hurricane "Hazel," were months of high rainfall, and October 

was the rainiest since 1937. The hurricane rainfall affected all but the southwestern part of the 

State.

Pumpage

Heaviest ground-water pumpage in the State is along the Ohio River valley, where thick 

permeable alluvium adjacent to the river permits induced river infiltration. Daily pumpage for 

municipal, industrial, and domestic use is estimated at more than 60 mgd (million gallons per 

day). Near Follansbee, in Brooke County, 10 mgd was pumped by 7 industries. In the Parkersburg area, Wood County, daily pumpage was about 10 mgd, of which the city pumped an average 

of 4. 6 mgd. Slightly less than 3 mgd was pumped in the Huntington area in Cabell and Wayne 

Counties. The highly industrialized Charleston area on the Kanawha River was estimated to have 

an average ground-water pumpage of 2.7 mgd in 1946. Later estimates are not available.

Interpretations of Water-Level Fluctuations

Figures 47 and 48 show fluctuations of 6 observation wells in West Virginia as compared 

with monthly departures from normal precipitation at 2 U. S. Weather Bureau stations in West 

Virginia. Barbour County well 14-1-1, Gilmer County well 33-3-1, Monongalia County well 

9-2-2a, Preston County well 11-3-8, and Tucker County well 15-5-1 are in the central and 

northern parts of the State. Precipitation data representative of the area are given by means of 

monthly departures from normal precipitation for the U. S. Weather Bureau station at Morgantown Lock and Dam, Monongalia County. The precipitation graph and graphs for water levels of 

Monongalia County well 9-2-2a and Preston County well 11-3-8 show that drought conditions 

began in the northern part of the State in September 1952. The drought was temporarily relieved 

by above-normal precipitation in January, April, and May, 1953. Ensuing deficiencies of precipitation resulted in record-low ground-water levels in the last part of 1953, chiefly during 

November. In 1954, heavy rainfall in August and the rainfall accompanying hurricane "Hazel" 

in October raised ground-water levels in the last half of the year. The graph for the water levels 

of Wayne County well 50-1-5 (fig. 48) and the graph of monthly departures from normal precipitation at the Huntington Weather Bureau station, Cabell County, are representative of conditions 

in the southwestern part of the State. During the period July 1952 to November 1954, the water 

level in Wayne County well 50-1-5 remained below average. New low water levels were recorded 

for January 1953, for October 1953 through June 1954, and for September 1954. Heavy rains in 

December 1954 raised the water level in this well to an above-average level at the end of the 

month for the first time since June 1952.

A new low for the period of observation was recorded on January 21, 1954, for Monongalia 

County well 9-6-27. A new high water level for the period of observation was recorded on July 26, 

1954, for Marshall County well 4-3-8.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in West Virginia are assigned a three-part number indicating their 

location by county and magisterial district. For this purpose, the counties have been numbered 

consecutively in a general southward direction beginning with Hancock County, which is at the 

northernmost tip of the State. The magisterial districts within each county are numbered consecutively according to the same plan; then the wells within the district are numbered consecutively as they are surveyed. Thus, the number 9-6-27, assigned to a well in Morgantown, 

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