WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1947

Part 3. NORTH-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 which 

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 waterworks, 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 ground-water supplies in such parts of the country as have been 

covered.

Scope of present volume

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

of water level and artesian pressure In about 1,766 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, 

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Of these wells, 

71 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells not 

previously reported complete records of water level are given. For wells 

whose previous records have been published this volume gives only the 

current records. If a complete description of a well has been published In 

a previous report, only the well number or the well number and a brief 

Identifying description are given In this report. The numbers In parentheses 

Immediately following a well number are ttiose 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 13,516 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

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
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical and they 

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 

otheV 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 north-central part of the

United States

The average precipitation in three of the States in the north-central 

part of the country Iowa, Eansas, and Nebraska was above normal in 1947. 

It was also above normal in northern North Dakota, but in southern North 

Dakota and in the other four States in this section precipitation was below 

normal- 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.

PROGRAM- OP WORK

Meaaurementa of water level were continued during 1947 in the well at 

Prlnceton, Bureau County, the only well in Illinola in the Nation-wide network of obaervatlon wella. It la equipped with a float-tape gage and waa 

flrat obaerved In 1942. Since then meaaurementa have been made approximately once a week.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The fluctuatlona of the water level in the well at Prlnceton during 

1947 varied from a low of 19.40 feet below land-aurface datum, on 

November 15, to the high for the year of 2.85 feet below land-surface 

datum on April 5. The year cloaed on December 2V with the water level at 

17.09 feet below land-surface datum, or 0.90 foot lower than the water 

level at the atart of the year. The average water level for the laat 3 

months of the year was 18.37 feet below land-aurface datum compared with 

the average water level of 15.25 feet below land-surface datum for the 

flrat 3 months, a difference of 3.12 feet.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The State-wide program of investigation of ground-water resources 

and Inventory of ground-water levels in observation wells in Iowa was 

continued In 1947 In cooperation with the Iowa Geological Survey.

The majority of the observation wells were established In 1938, but 

additions have been made since that time. The observation wells in the 

Tarklo Creek Valley area of southwestern Iowa were established in 1934 

through a program organized by the U- S. Geological Survey in which the 

Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture 

participated for several years. All of these wells are now included In 

one program for the State.

Past records of the water-level measurements In the wells in the 

Tarklo Creek area are published In Water-supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 

845, 886, 908, 936, 988, 1018, 1025, and 1073, and those for the wells 

established In 1938 are given first In Water-supply Paper 886.

At the beginning of 1947 measurements were being made on 172 wells 

In 39 counties throughout the State. During the year 14 wells were dropped 

from the program, and 6 wells were added, making a total of 164 wells In 

the observation-well program at the end of the year. (Pig. 2 .) Automatic water-stage recorders were being maintained on 11 wells at the close 

of the year.

Water-level measurements were being made weekly on 6 wells, monthly 

on 47 wells, and quarterly on most of thp remaining wells. During the 

year about 990 wetted-tape water-level measurements were made in thd State 

and are Included In this report. In addition, many water-level measurements were made in connection with pumping and production tests and In 

gathering data on new wells throughout the State. These additional measurements and descriptions of wells are not Included In this report.-

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The average precipitation over the State In 1947 was 35.23 Indies 

which was slightly more than the amount for 1946- The 1947 average was 

3.72 Inches above normal and 0.08 inch above that of the previous year.

The rainfall in 1947 was very erratic In distribution- For many 

sections of the State, precipitation In June exceeded that for alj. previous records for this month. The State average in June was 10«29 ijiches 

which exceeded the previous high average by more than 2 Inches. The 

month of August, however, was the second driest August of record. Abovenormal precipitation occurred over most of the State during the months 

of January, April, May, June, October, November, and December. Precipitation was below normal during the other months.

The following table lists the average net change In the water level 

between December 1946 and December 1947 In groups of shallow well? by 

counties throughout the State.

a These wells, one in each county, are in the vicinity of Lost Island 

Lake.

b These wells are in the Tarkio Creek Valley which occupies parts of 

both counties.

As indicated, the majority of the wells are at a lower stage by the 

end of 1947 than at the end of the previous year even though the precipitation was, in most cases, above normal for the year. This condition can 

be attributed to the heavy rains and subsequent record pr near-record 

floods during June. This short wet periorf was followed by hot and dry 

weather that persisted from mid-July until the first we.eks of September.
10 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

The water table declined rapidly during this Interval and remained at a 

low stage during the remainder of the year. This combination of heat 

and drought appreciably affected yields of corn and soybeans over the 

State. Throughout the farming area the yield of domestic and stock wells, 

which depended upon shallow aquifers for water, was reduced importantly. 

Locally the water table rose somewhat during the last quarter of the year 

because precipitation was slightly above normal during that period.

In most areas, however, freezing temperatures began during the first 

week In November and continued with few interruptions throughout the 

remainder of the year. Accordingly, little ground-water recharge resulted 

from precipitation which fell during that period. In general, the water 

table remained essentially static or was slightly higher than the low 

stage of the summer.

The Tarklo Creek Valley area, In parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, 

Iowa, and Atchison County, Missouri, contains a number of shallow observation wells established In 1934. Water-level measurements have been made 

on this group of wells at least once a month for almost the entire period 

of record. In 1947, these measurements were made by Dean W. Knox, local 

observer. Records of the water levels in the Atchison County area, 

Missouri, are given In the section of this report that relates to observation wells In that State.

Measurements In 8 wells (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15, and 17) were 

used In computing the average water level for each month in 1947- These 

averages are given in the following table.

level.

Figure 5 shows water-level measurements at the end of the month 

In well 84-6-20N1 which Is an observation well 11.7 feet deep tapping 

water In the glacial drift. The well Is in central Linn County about 

5 miles northeast of Cedar Rapids. close correlation between precipitation 

as recorded at the U. S> Weather Bureau station at Cedar Rapids and the 

water-level fluctuation In this well Is evident. This well is representative of several shallow observation wells In the county and of many domestic farm wells which tap the same water-bearing bed.

Well 83-7-21K1, figure 6, at Cedar Raplda, Linn County, is illustrative of artesian rock wells affected by Industrial and seasonal withdrawals for normal Industrial use and air-conditioning purposes. This is 

an unused well completed at a depth of 156 feet in the upper part of 

Silurian dolomite which is locally about 400 feet thick. Most wells in 

Cedar Rapids develop water supplies for air-conditioning and industrial use 

from these strata. The observation well is about half a mile from the 

heavily pumped areas of downtown Cedar Rapids. The well was first measured 

In August 1943. On December 31, 1947, the water level was 59.87 feet below land-surface datum, which Is 2.65 feet below Its stage of December 31. 

1943.

Well 83-7-11B1, at Cedar Rapids, has been used in previous reports to 

Illustrate the effects of seasonal pumping in the Cedar Rapids area, but 

well 83-7-21K1, because of its closer proximity to the area of heavy 

pumpage, seems to Illustrate better the stage of the artesian water levels 

in this widely used aquifer.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The numbers assigned by the Federal Geological Survey to its observation wells in Iowa, other than those In the Tarkio Creek area, show the 

location of the wells according to the rectangular system for subdivision 

of public land. Each well number is made up of three segments, separated 

by hyphens. The first and second segments indicate the township and range*

The third segment includes the section, followed by a letter representing 

the 40-acre subdivision of the section, as shown by the diagram, and the 

serial number of the particular well.

The letter E is added to the second segment representing the range when a 

well is east of the fifth principal meridian. In the number of the other 

wells, it is understood that the range indicated is west of the meridian.

For example, the number 76-31-25P1 indicates a well is in T. 76 N., 

R. 31 W., in the SE^SWi sec. 25, whose serial number is 1.

PROGRAM OF WORK 

By Wllma P. Howard

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued In 1947 In cooperation with the State Geological Survey of Kansas, the Division of Water 

Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, and the Division of 

Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health. In addition to the State 

agencies names, the city of Wichita cooperated In Harvey, McPherson, v and 

Sedgwlck Counties. Also, an observation-well program was carried on in the 

Missouri Basin in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation. Three 

counties not heretofore included, Lincoln, Mitchell, and Norton, were added 

to the program in 1947 and 1 county, Dicklnson, was dropped, making 49 

counties in which wells were observed at the end of the year.

!/

Results of cooperative ground-water Investigations In Scott County

2/

and in Kiowa County were published in 1947.

At the beginning of 1947, periodic water-level measurements were being 

made in 480 observation wells In the State. During the year measurements 

were discontinued in 20 wells and begun or resumed In 69 wells. At the 

end of the year 529 wells were under observation. Of the wells measured 

in 1947, 9- were measured semiannually, 112 were measured quarterly, 372 

monthly, 4 semimonthly, 21 weekly, and water-stage recorders were maintained on 12. The recorders on four of these wells one In Plnney County, 

one in Grant County, and two in Scott County are maintained by the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. During 

the year 5,309 wetted-tape measurements were made In the State. For convenience, the data given in this paragraph have been arranged in tabular 

form, by counties, as follows:

Smoky Hill Valley

By D. W. Berry

As part of the Cedar Bluff Reservoir Project, the Federal Geological 

Survey, in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, organized, in May 

1942, an observation well program consisting of 14 wells in the valleys
KANSAS, ELLIS COUNTY 59

and adjacent uplands of the Big Creek and Smoky Hill River. These wells 

tap either the Niobrara formation of the uplands or the alluvium of the 

valley.

Periodic measurements of the water levels in the 14 wells by the 

wetted-tape method were started in May 1947, and 81 measurements, in all, 

were made during the year.

14-16-17cb. NWfSWi sec. 17, T. 14 S., R. 16 W. Dug stock well, 

diameter 60 inches, depth 24.0 feet. Measuring point, top of board platform, 0.9 foot above land-surface datum.

The Federal Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, set up an observation-well program during April 1947, as part of 

the Wilson Reservoir project. Sixteen domestic and stock wells in the valley and adjacent uplands of the Saline River comprise this program. These 

wells tap either the alluvium of the valley or the Dakota of the uplands.

Periodic measurements of the water levels in the 16 wells by the 

wetted-tape method were started In April 1947, and 96 measurements, In 

all, were made during the year.

By D. W. Berry

The Federal Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, set up an observation-well program during November 1946, as 

part of the Glen Elder Reservoir project. This program consists of 12

 wells in the valley of the Solomon Hiver. These wells all tap the alluvium 

of the valley.

Periodic measurements of the water levels in the 12 wells by the 

wetted-tape method were started in November 1946, and 149 measurements, In

all, were made during 1946 and 1947.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Periodic measurements of water level were made in three wells in 

Minnesota in 1947. A total of 135 wetted-tape measurements was made during 

the year.

PLUG ftAT IONS OP WATER LEVEL

The maximum amount of fluctuation during the year In the well in 

Brown County was 4.28 feet. The minimum depth to water occurred on 

April 16, when the reading of 3.67 feet below land-surface datum was made. 

The lowest recorded water level, 7.95 feet occurred on October 22. The 

year closed with water levels 1.33 feet lower than at the beginning of the 

year.

Wee'kly measurements of water level were also made in the other two 

wells, one near the town of Deer River, in Itasca County, the other at 

Eveleth, in St. Louis County.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Water-level measurements were made in Atchison County in 1947 as 

part of the Tarkio Creek Valley observation-well program organized by the 

Federal Geological Survey in 1934 in which the Soil Conservation Service 

of the United States Department of Agriculture participated for several 

years. The Atchison County section consisted of 14 wells in 1947 in which 

140 single measurements were made by D- W. Knox, observer of the Tarkio 

Creek well program. The measurements of the observation well in Grundy 

County were continued on a weekly basis. W- H- Estes, owner of the Grundy 

County observation well, has been the observer since its establishmentThe water levels in the Phelps County wells were measured monthly by 

engineers from the Rolla office of the surface water branch through the 

courtesy of H- C« Bolon, district engineer. A total of 21 measurements 

was made in these two wells in 1947.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In the Grundy County wel,! the maximum fluctuation of water level was 

7.17 feet with the highest reading of 0-03 foot below land-surface datum 

occurring on June 21, and the lowest reading of 7-20 feet below land-sur-r 

face datum occurring on January 12. The water level was 3.03 feet higher 

on December 28 than it was at the close of 1946. Fluctuations of water 

levels in wells in Atchison County, together with the other wells in the 

Tarkio Creek area, are discussed in the section of this volume that deals 

with Iowa.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The State-wide program of weter-level measurements In observation wells 

In Nebraska, begun In 1934 In cooperation with the Conservation and Survey 

Division of the University of Nebraska, was continued in 1947. Records of 

water levels In the wells and some Interpretation of the fluctuations of 

water levels are given In the annual reports of the Geological Survey on 

water levels and artesian pressure. The reports already published are 

Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 908, 938, 946, 9B8, 1018, 

1025, and 1073.

Measurements of water levels made In 814 wells are given In the present 

report. Included In this group are 250 wells In the,observation of which 

the following organizations are cooperating Informally: Grand Island Water 

Department, 46 wells In Hall County and 1 In Merrick County; Pish and Wildlife Service, United States Department of the Interior, 9 wells In Garden 

County; Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District, 1 well In 

Arthur County, 24 wells In Dawson County, 2 wells In Garden County, 23 wells 

In Gosper County, 53 wells In Keith County, 66 wells In Lincoln County, and 

10 wells In Phelps County; Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District, 2 wells In Keith County and 12 wells In Lincoln County. Weekly tape 

measurements given for well 85, in Morrill County, were furnished by the 

Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation.

Automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 18 wells. 

Of these, the following wells are equipped with 60-day continuous recorders:

1-11-llba (near Red Clcud, Webster County)

l,-40-29bb (near Haigler, Dundy County)

3-25-4bb (near Cambridge, Purnas County)

9-14-ldc (near Gibbon, Buffalo County)

ll-ll-25cc (near Alda, Hall County)
160 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

The remaining wells listed below, are equipped with 8-day recorders: 

l-6-30dd (near Superior, Nuckolls County) 

5-15-3ba (near Minden, Kearney County) 

7-20-31bb (In Bertrand, Phelps County) 

9-12-9ba (near Shelton, Hall County)

13-36-9ad) (near Korty' Kelth County)

14-33-27da (near O'Pallons, Lincoln County)

17-16-26dc (near'Arcadia, Valley County)

24-48-10bb)

24-48-13ba) (near Alliance, Box Butte County)

25-48-14aa)

25-45-32ad (near Antloch, Sheridan County) 

30-22-23da (near Alnsworth, Brown County)

The well near Superior Is serviced by personnel of the Bureau of 

Reclamation at Superior. The well In Bertrand Is serviced by M. R. 

Williams, city water commissioner. The two wells near Korty and the one 

near O'Pallons are serviced each week by Warren Doolittle of the platte 

Valley Public Power and Irrigation District. The well near Ainsworth is 

serviced by personnel of the Bureau of Reclamation at Ainsworth.

Tables have been included showing the total monthly pumpage for the 

public supplies for the city of Grand Island and for the city of Lincoln 

at its well field near Ashland. Monthly measurements of the water level 

In well Al3-9-24cc (US 62), Just west of the Lincoln city well field near 

Ashland, are given under the heading Saunders County. This well is one 

of eight key well,s in Nebraska and the water level in the well is measured 

by personnel of the Ashland pumping station.

Monthly measurements of the water levels in eight key wells in 

Nebraska were continued during 1947. Measurements from these wells form 

the basis of statements of water-level conditions in Nebraska that are 

published currently in the monthly Water Resources Review.

In all, exclusive of automatic water j stage recorder measurements/ 

4,136 individual measurements of water level were made in Nebraska in 1947.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The precipitation in Nebraska in 1947 was 23.35 inches, 0.79 inch 

above normal and 1.20 inches below that of 1946.

The following table summarizes for each observation well, the length 

of record in years, the highest and the lowest water level of record, the 

net change in water level in 1947, and the net change in water level during the entire period of record.

Length of rec'ord, in years, highest and lowest recorded water levels, in 

feet below land-surface datum, net change in water level in 1947, and 

net change in water level during the entire period of record in 741

PUMPAGE

The following tables give the total pumpage for the public supplies 

of Lincoln and Grand Island. The public supply for the city of Lincoln 

is pumped from nine wells on the flood plain of the Platte River about 3 

miles north of Ashland. The first pumping from the Lincoln well field 

near Ashland began In August 1932 and by the end of 1947 approximately 

46,986.8 million gallons of water had been withdrawn from the ground-water 

reservoir. The public supply at Grand Island Is obtained by pumping from 

a group of wells drilled Into the Pleistocene sands and gravels of the 

Platte Valley and situated for the most part within the city.

The following well-numbering system has been adopted in the Missouri 

Basin and is now being used in Nebraska. The State has been divided into 

two principal divisions. The numbers of those wells situated east of the 

sixth principal meridian, which passes through Columbus, are preceded by 

the capital letter A_« Those west of Columbus have no preceding letter. 

The first number indicates the township, the second tne range, and the 

third the section. The lower-case letters which follow the section number 

Indicate the position of the well within the section, the first letter indicating the quarter section and the second letter the quarter-quarter 

section. The letters a_, b_, £, and d are applied counter-clockwise beginning with a_ in the northeast quadrant. The last numeral indicates the 

number of the well within the tract of land indicated by the last letter. 

No number is shown unless more than one -Well is situated within the given 

tract of land.

By J. E. Powell 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water investigations and the measurement of water levels in 

observation wells in North Dakota were continued In 1947 in cooperation 

with the North Dakota State Geological Survey and the North Dakota State 

Water Conservation Commission. At the end of 1947, water levels were being 

measured in 154 observation wells of which io were equipped with automatic 

water-stage recorders. Water levels in 22 wells were being measured weekly by local observers. Measurements were discontinued in nine wells. 

Records of a total of 1,163 water-level measurements are included in this 

report, and, in addition, 1,677 water-level determinations obtained from 

wells equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

Field work was done in connection with studies of ground-water conditions in the vicinities of the towns of MInnewaukan, Michigan, New 

Rockford, Aneta, Hope, Sharon, Wimbledon, Kindred, Litcharllle, Wyndmere, 

Mohall, Flaxton, and Columbus, all in North Dakota, and in the FargoMoorhead area in Cass County, North Dakota, and Clay County, Minnesota. 

Reports on ground water conditions in the vicinities of Minot, Sharon, 

Buxton, and Aneta, were published in mimeographed form.

PRECIPITATION

The average annual precipitation for North Dakota in 1947, as reported by the United States Weather Bureau, was 18.18 inches or, 1.06 inches 

above the 1892-1947 average. Departures from normal precipitation ranged 

from -5.25 inches to +6.98 inches at various stations in the State. The 

maximum positive departures from the normal occurred In the western and 

west-central parts of the State, and the greatest negative departure took 

place In the southeastern part of the State. In general, precipitation 

was below normal ia the southern half of the State and above normal in

the northern half. Average precipitation for the State was above normal

June.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The average monthly water levels for the State from 1937 through 

1947 are shown in the following table. These averages are based on waterlevel measurements in selected observation wells. The averages for 1947 

were computed from records from 8 wells distributed throughout the State^ 

and in which water levels were measured weekly. Three of these wells are 

in the Red .River drainage basin, one in the Devils Lake region, one in the 

Souris River drainage basin and three in the Missouri River drainage basin. 

Figure 8 is a graphical presentation of these data.

As in previous years, the water levels were low during the winter, 

the lowest stage of the year occurring in March. The water levels remained 

about the same during January and February, and declined slightly in March, 

but rose rapidly during April and May due to recharge from melting snow in 

conjunction with the thawing of the ground surface. The highest water 

levels of the year were attained in July, after which they declined until 

November, when there was a slight rise followed by a corresponding decline 

in December. At the end of 1947 the average water level was 0.84 foot 

higher than at the end of 1946.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The well numbers in this report conform to a well-numbering ayatem 

now being adopted for reports in all the Miaaouri Baain Statea. The numbering system is based upon the common land subdivisions and has been used 

previoualy with minor variations in reporting recorda of wella in many of 

the Statea outside the Missouri Basin. The numbers given to the wella 

according to thia ayatem aerve the dual purpose of designating one well 

from another and of giving its location within the coordinate net of townships and ranges. In this report the number is reported firat in the well 

deacription of each individual well.

In North Dakota, the land deacriptiona are referred to the baae line 

which followa the Kanaas-Nebraska State linea and to the fifth principal 

meridian. Thua, all of North Dakota ia in the northweat quadrant of the 

coordinate system, that ia; all townships are north and all rangea are weat.

The numbera are divided into parts by numbers and letters. The firat 

number givea the townahlp, the aecond the range, and the third the section 

in which the well ia aituated. The aubdlviaiona of the aection are the 

quarter aection, the 40-acre tract within the quarter section, and the 10- 

acre tract within the 40-acre tract. These are indicated by lower-caae 

lettera following the third number. The firat letter gives the quarter
NORTH DAKOTA, BOWMAN COUNTY 293

section, the letters a, b, c, and d referring to the NEi, the NWi, the 

SW-i, and the SE^, respectively. Likewise, the second letter refers to the 

40-acre tract within the quarter section and the third letter refers to 

the respective 10-acre tract within the 40-acre tract.

The lower-case letters are again followed by a number which refers to 

the numerical order in which the wells were scheduled in the smallest 

tract of land indicated by the last lower-case letter. If, for instance, 

two wells were scheduled in a tract of land and the locations of the wells 

were given by the same lower-case letters, then the wells would be designated by the numbers 1 and 2 following the letter.

In this report, the locations of most of the wells are given only to 

the nearest 40-acre tract but the locations of some are given to the nearest 10-acre tract. As an example of the use of the well number to designate the location of the well, the first well scheduled in the SW^SWt 

sec. 14, T. 130 N., R. 97 W. is numbered 130.97.14ccl. If a second well 

is scheduled in this same tract of land, it is numbered 130.97»14cc2.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water level in observation wells in Wisconsin were 

continued during 1947 and the program was expanded during the year. 

Measurements were started in 9 wells in 1934, in 10 wells in 1944 and in 77 

wells in 1946. During the year 44 wells were added to the observationwell program and measurements were discontinued in 2 wells. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were installed on 8 wells during 19.47, one was removed, and a total of 20 were in operation at the end of the year. Measurements of water levels in five wells in northern Wisconsin were made by the 

Wisconsin Conservation Department.

Investigation of the ground-water resources of Wisconsin in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin was continued during 1947 with 

emphasis on the artesian aquifers of the eastern part of the State, 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Precipitation in Wisconsin during 1947 averaged 29.99 inches which is 

0.63 inch below average. The northern part of the State was considerably 

drier than the southern part with a recorded maximum of 7.94 inches below 

average at Park Palls.

Of 13 water-table wells in the northern half of Wisconsin, all showed 

a net lowering of water levels during 1947 ranging from 2.32 feet in well 

Mr 28, in Marathon County, to 0.09 foot in well Ds-1, in Douglas County, 

The average for the 13 wells is a net lowering of 0.86 foot. Six watertable wells in the Coon Creek area, in Vernon and Monroe Counties, showed 

an average net rise in water levels of 0.29 foot. Pour of the wells showed 

a net rise ranging from 0.13 foot to 1.06 feet and two showed a net lowering of 0.16 and 0.13 foot. Precipitation at LaCrosse was 0.80 inch above 

average, at Sparta, 0.06 inch below average, and at Viroqua, 3.25 inches

above average. Fluctuations of water level in shallow water-table wells

show a close relationship to precipitation. Figure 9 shows hydrographs 

of two representative water-table wells.

Water levels in deep artesian wells in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area 

were at approximately the same levels at the end of 1.947 as they were at 

the end of 1946. There was seasonal fluctuation in 1947 ranging from about 

9 to about 65 feet in the area, with the greatest fluctuation occurring in 

the downtown and industrial areas of Milwaukee where punrj'age was heaviest. 

Highest water levels in the area were recorded from May 10 to June 25, the 

range in dates depending largely on the proximity of the observation wells 

to wells pumped for air conditioning and cooling purposes. Lowest water 

levels were recorded between September 5 and 26. Recovery was rapid during 

late September and October, and then more gradual until the end of the 

year. Figure 10 shows the hydrograph of well Ml 36, a representative 

artesian well in Milwaukee County.

One recorder=-equipped deep well on the eastern edge of the city of 

Pond du Lac showed a net lowering of water level of 4.09 feet during 1947. 

The highest water level of the year was recorded on January 30 and the 

lowest on August 22. There was a general decline until mid-April, a slight 

recovery in late April and early May, a decline until the end of August, 

then a slow recovery until the end of the year. The total seasonal 

fluctuation was 6.69 feet with daily fluctuations of 0.5 to 1 foot due to 

pumping of the city and private wells, the nearest of which is about 0.4 

mile away.

Well Bn 9, at 320 North Broadway, Green Bay, and owned by the Larson 

Canning Company, was equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder in 

August 1947. Static water level reached a low of 295.28 feet below landsurface datum on September 20. By the end of the year the water level had 

risen 68.98 feet to 226.30 feet below land-surface datum. Though the 

record is not complete for the year, undoubtedly the water level was lowest 

in September and highest prior to August.

Artesian wells away from the most heavily pumpsd areas showed nearly 

the same water levels at the end of 1947 as at the beginning. Well Ra 5, 

at Sturtevant in Racine County, showed a net lowering of water level during 

the year of 2.33 feetj wells Dg 9 and Dg 10, in Ashippun in Dodge County, 

showed net rises of 3.55 and 1.99 feet; well Mt 5, in Peshtigo in Marinett* 

County, showed a net rise of 1.32 feet.
