WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1953

Part 5. NORTHWESTERN 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 1953.

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, evapotranspiration by vegetation, evaporation 

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

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

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

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

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

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, NORTHWESTERN 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 preceding the first entry in each 

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

For the most part, discussions of precipitation in this report are 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.

Dougherty assembled and edited the reports.
COLORADO

By V. M. Burtis

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Colorado was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

Colorado Water Conservation Board and the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. In 1953, 

measurements were made in 245 wells, 4 of which were equipped with recording gages. Water 

levels in 141 wells were measured by W. E. Code of the Agricultural Experiment Station. (See 

figs. 2-9.)

Precipitation

Precipitation in Colorado was slightly above normal in May, July, August, and November 

but was below normal during the remainder of the year. The weighted average precipitation In 

Colorado during the year was 14.15 Inches which is 3.12 inches below normal. The drought continued in southeastern Colorado, although there were local heavy storms during July and August.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels remained about normal In .the South Platte, Arkansas, and San Luis Valleys 

and in the High Plains. Water levels continued to decline at a serious rate In the heavily pumped 

valleys tributary to the South Platte. There were local declines of several feet in Beaver, Bijou, 

Kiowa, and Boxelder Valleys.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first letter in a well number gives the quadrant of the meridian and base-line 

system, beginning in the northeast quadrant (A) and proceeding counterclockwise. All wells in 

Colorado lie in the northwest (B) and southwest (C) quadrants of the sixth principal meridian and 

fortieth parallel base-line system. The first numeral of a well number indicates the township, 

the second the range, and the third the section. The lowercase letters a, b, c, and d following 

the section number locate the well within the section. The first letter denotes the quarter section, 

the second letter the quarter-quarter section, and the third letter the quarter-quarter-quarter 

section.

IDAHO

ByJ. W. Stewart, H. G. Sisco, and R. F. Ragsdale

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-weii program in Idaho has been continuous since 1946 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Reclamation. Measurements in observation wells in Ada and Canyon 

Counties were nude in collaboration with the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District; in the Rathdrum 

Valley, Kootenai County, in collaboration with the Washington Water Power Company and the 

Idaho Department of Fish and Game; in the Snake River Plain in collaboration with the United 

States Bureau of Reclamation and the Atomic Energy Commission. Special investigations on 

behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission, begun in 1949, were continued in the central Snake 

River Plain. An areal study in the western Snake River Plain was continued as a noncooperative 

Federal Project. A study of the artesian ground-water conditions in the Bruneau-Grandview area 

was begun in cooperation with the State agency, and a special ground-water investigation in the 

Boise Valley of Ada and Canyon Counties was begun as a noncooperative Federal project. At the 

end of the year measurements were being made in 95 observation wells in 16 of the 44 counties 

in Idaho. Ten recording gages and two nonrecording gages were operated throughout the year. 

(See figs. 10-13.)

The following mimeographed reports containing well records and water-level measurements 

were released to the open file in 1953: Records of wells, ground-water levels, and ground-water 

withdrawals in the lower Goose Creek basin, Cassia County, Idaho, by R. W. Mower; Records 

of wells and ground-water levels in eastern Jerome County, Idaho, by R. W. Mower; Records of 

wells in western Jefferson County, Idaho, by J. T. Barraclough; Records of wells and water-level 

fluctuations in western Bingham County, Idaho, by Eugene Shuter.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Observation wells in the Boise Valley of Ada and Canyon Counties are in a heavily irrigated 

area of approximately 350 square miles. A principal source of ground-water recharge in the 

valley is seepage losses from the large quantity of surface water that is diverted for irrigation. 

The effects of local precipitation on water-level fluctuations in the valley are largely masked by 

the effects of recharge by seepage losses from irrigation. In addition, local complications in 

water-level fluctuations are introduced by drainage canals and pumped drainage wells. Water 

levels in 3 of 9 wells in the valley, for which long-term records are available, reached new high 

levels in 1953 during the latter part of the irrigation season. Eight of the wells showed rises during the year ranging from 0. 05 foot to 3 feet, in contrast to 1952 when 7 wells showed small net 

declines. The net rise of water levels in wells is attributed partly to above-normal precipitation 

in the area during 1953. Figure 14 shows the long-term water-level records for wells 

4N lW-36dal and 3N 2W-25aal in the Boise Valley. Well 7N 2E-34cal, in Boise County, fluctuated 

within its normal range and the year-end water level was 0. 2 foot above that of 1952. This well 

in a mountain valley area represents the natural ground-water storage available to maintain the 

dry-season flow of local streams. There was no appreciable change in the water level in well 

3N 4lE-6cbl, in Bonneville County, near the edge of an extensive irrigated area in the eastern 

Snake River Plain. A hydrograph of the water level in this well is shown in figure 15. Wells in 

the Raft River valley, Cassia County, ranged slightly below normal and did not show appreciable 

net changes in storage, despite increased use of ground water for irrigation development. Irrigation withdrawals in 1953 were estimated to be about 26, 000 acre-feet, an increase of 13 percent 

over 1952. In the Rathdrum Valley of Kootenai County, water levels were slightly below normal 

at the end of the year. In the northeastern part of the Rathdrum Valley, water levels in wells are 

influenced by underground seepage from Pend Oreille Lake and attain their highest water levels in 

late spring when the stage of the lake is at its maximum. Wells in the southwestern part are 

sufficiently distant from the lake so that their water levels are influenced chiefly by regional factors in ground-water recharge in the area. Figure 16 shows the long-term water-level record 

for well 53N 4W-24bbl, approximately 10 miles southwest of Pend Oreille Lake. The water level 

in the well declined about 4 feet during the year, and the net rise since 1941, the start of a wet 

cycle, was about 16 feet. Latah County well 39N 5W-7ddl, a nonflowing artesian well in the 

Moscow Basin, had a net decline of about 4. 5 feet, continuing the declining trend observed in previous years. In well 39N 5W-10acl, a shallow water-table well east of the Moscow Basin, the 

water level increased about 0. 5 foot, probably as a result of above-normal precipitation in the 

area. In the Malad Valley of Oneida County, 2 of 21 observed wells reached record high levels,

and in one well a new record low was established. In 11 of the wells water levels were 0. 6 foot 

to 7. 4 feet above the 1952 year-end levels; in other wells water levels were 0.1 foot to 6.1 feet 

below the 1952 year-end levels. Precipitation in the Malad Valley was below normal in 1953 and 

below that of 1952. Differences between wells in net changes of water levels and in departures 

from average are partly a result of local pumpage and discharge by flowing wells. The wells in 

this area characteristically reach their highest levels during the period February to April. Water 

levels in well 5N 34E-9bdl in Jefferson County fluctuate in response to changes in barometric 

pressure as well as to other factors. Although the barometric efficiency of the well is about 60 

percent, the water levels reported have not been adjusted for the effects of barometric pressure. 

Water-level fluctuations in 1953 in most observation wells with 6 or more years of record are 

summarized in the following table:

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, 

and the third the section in which the well is situated. The lowercase letters following the section 

number indicate the well location within the section: The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, 

the second the 40-acre tract, and third the 10-acre tract in which the well occurs. The letters 

are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning, in the northeast quarter. Thus well 

52N 4W-lcdl is in the SEfSWi sec. 12, T. 52 N., R., 4 W. The numeral following the third 

segment of the well number is the serial number of the well within the tract.

MONTANA

By Frank A. Swenson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Montana was continued in 1953 in connection with groundwater studies being made as part of the program for development of the Missouri River basin. 

Measurements of water levels in 22 wells are included in this report. Figure 17 shows the location of the wells. Measurements of the water levels in many other wells in the State are presented in the reports on the project studies.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The year of 1953 was characterized by extremes in water-level fluctuations. In 10 of the 

22 wells the water level reached the highest stage during the period of record and in 7 it reached 

the lowest. In general the high stages of water level were attained in midsummer as a result of 

heavier than normal precipitation. In some of the wells the high stage was somewhat delayed, 

possibly because time was required for the recharge to reach the aquifer tapped by these wells. 

The lowest stages of water level were recorded in the winter or early spring as a result of an 

abnormally dry fall in 1952.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the United States Bureau of Land Management 

system of land subdivision. The first digit of a well number indicates the township, the second 

the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The first lowercase letter 

denotes the 160-acre tract and the second the 40-acre tract. The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeastern quarter. Well numbers are preceded by the 

capital letters, A, B, C, andD, to designate the location of the well in the northeast, northwest, 

southwest, and southeast quadrants, respectively, of the Montana principal meridian and base 

line system. Thus, the number Al-10-27ad indicates that the well so designated is in the

SEINE! sec. 27, T. IN., R. 10 E.

OREGON

By Stuart G. Brown

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Oregon was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Engineer. Measurements were made in 93 wells; measurements were discontinued in 

2 wells; 6 nonrecording gages were in operation during the year. Figures 18, 19, and 20 show 

the location of observation wells in western, central, and eastern Oregon, respectively.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the State as a whole was 112 percent of the 50-year average at the 17 

stations for which it was computed. Values ranged from 90 percent at Harney Experimental 

Station at Burns to 131 percent of normal at LaGrande. West of the Cascades the highest precipitation was 130 percent of normal at Grants Pass.and the lowest was 92 percent at Falls City. 

East of the Cascades the highest and lowest precipitation were those reported above for the State 

as a whole at LaGrande and the Harney Experimental Station. West of the Cascades precipitation 

was 108 percent of the 50-year average, while east of the Cascades it was 115 percent of the 

50-year average. Snowfall was slightly above normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

September-end water levels in the Willamette Valley subprovince in 1953 were on an 

average 0. 58 foot above those for 1952. In the Deschutes River subprovince well 14/15-15Q1 in 

the Prineville area and outside the area of heavy withdrawals from the artesian aquifer was 3 feet 

lower in September 1953 than in September 1952. Well 14/16-32N1 in the area of heavy pumpage 

at Prineville was 4. 82 feet higher in October 1953 than in September 1952. Water level in well 

14/16-19H1, drawing its water from the shallower unconfined zone, was substantially at the same 

level in October 1953 as in September 1952. Well 15/16-5D1, which also draws from the shallow 

unconfined zone, was 0. 59 foot lower in October 1953 than in September 1952. In the Fort Rock 

area of the Summer Lake subprovince there was a general rise of about 0. 35 foot in the water 

levels of wells with water-table aquifers; however, one well, 28/14-23D1, showed a water-level 

drop of 0. 74 foot. Artesian wells in that area showed an average general rise of 0. 41 foot; well 

27/15-4G1 rose 0. 73 foot. In the Chewaucan River valley, September-end water levels were 

0.66 foot higher in October 1953 than in September 1952. Well 29/23-3J1 in the Alkali Lake area 

was 0.13 foot lower than it was in September 1952. Water levels in three of the four wells in the 

northern part of the Owyhee subprovince were on the average 0.62 foot higher in October 1953 

than in September 1952, although well 18/47-17D1 showed a drop of 1. 99 feet at year's end. In 

the southern part of the Owyhee subprovince the net change was 0. 27 foot down from the level of 

September 1952, In the Burns area of the Harney Basin subprovince water levels at the year's 

end were 0.18 foot higher than in September 1952. In the Warner Valley area of the Harney Basin 

subprovince,the levels of the water table fell o.n an average of 1. 58 foot, while artesian wells fell 

0. 28 foot from the levels of September 1952. Water levels in the Walla Walla subprovince at the 

year-end were on an average 0.49 foot lower than in September 1952. In well 6N/35-36H1 the 

yearly high occurred in May and was 4. 81 feet lower than the high of 1952, which occurred in 

June. Observation wells in the Grand Ronde subprovince are located in both the Powder River 

and Grande Ronde valleys. In the Baker area of Powder River valley, September-end water levels 

were on the average 0. 48 foot lower than those of 1952. The highest water level of the year 

occurred in January 1953 and was only 0. 05 foot lower than the highest level-of 1952 which occurred 

in March. In the Grande Ronde valley September-end water levels were on the average 0. 57 foot 

above the levels of September 1952.

Well- Numbering System

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Utah, begun in 1935, was continued during 1953 in cooperation with the State Engineer. Investigations were continued and expanded in the principal irrigation districts of southern Utah, namely, the Beryl-Enterprise and Milford districts of Escalante 

Valley, Cedar City Valley, Pavant Valley, Sevier Desert, and Beaver Valley. A detailed groundwater study of the East Shore area in connection with the Weber Basin project was begun in 

March 1953 in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation. The field investigation of the geology 

and ground-water occurrence of Ogden Valley was essentially completed during the year as a part 

of a cooperative program with the Utah Water and Power Board. The geologic and geophysical 

phases of a comprehensive ground-water study of the eastern part of the Dugway Proving Ground 

in Tooele County were completed, and plans were formulated for the test-drilling program to 

follow. As part of a "consumptive-use" study being conducted in the Milford-Minersville district, 

Beaver County, the contract drilling of 16 new observation wells was completed in December, 

comprising a combined total footage drilled of 2,195 feet. A preliminary investigation of the 

ground-water occurrence in southeastern Utah was begun, including the measuring of several 

"bedrock" wells which have some of the highest artesian pressure heads thus far reported in the 

State. During 1953 a total of 2,696 measurements were made in 874 selected observation wells 

scattered through 42 ground-water areas of the State. In addition, recording gages were maintained in 39 wells. The records of 277 of these observation wells, including 27 recording gages, 

are given in this report. The records for the other observation wells listed in previous annual 

reports may be examined in the open file at the Utah district office of the Ground Water Branch, 

U. S. Geological Survey, 503 Federal Building, Salt Lake City. In addition, some records of 

water-level measurements are included in special project reports that are published separately.

A report entitled "Geology of the recharge area, Weber County, Utah," by J. H. Feth.was 

prepared in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, and is in open file in the district office 

of the Survey, 503 Federal Building, Salt Lake City. Two ground-water papers, entitled "Geologic 

interpretations based on recent test drilling in Ogden Valley, Utah;1 and "Ground water developed 

from bedrock aquifers in Utah;' by B. E. Lofgren,were presented at the annual meetings of the 

Utah Academy of Science, Arts, and Letters and are being printed in abstract form in the Proceedings of the Academy. A tabular report of discharge measurements of flowing artesian wells 

in the East Shore area was prepared, and is in open file in the district office of the Survey. A 

report entitled "Lake Bonneville: Geology of northern Utah Valley, Utah," by C. B. Hunt, 

H. E. Thomas, and H. D. Varnes, U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 257-A,includes 

a section on ground water.

Precipitation

In general, the weather in Utah during 1953 was relatively warm and dry. A few unusual 

storms and an extended cold period in May interrupted the predominantly fair weather. Below - 

normal precipitation during the year was detrimental to rangelands and dry farms, but most 

irrigated crops were adequately supplied from surface reservoirs and from wells. The winter, 

ending in February 1953, was one of the mildest and driest of record and resulted in below-normal 

spring runoff. The mild, dry winter and cold spring were followed by the warmest summer in 

13 years. Autumn, also, was unusually warm and one of the driest since 1891. Numerous 

summer showers and thunderstorms augmented the total precipitation considerably. According 

to records of the U. S. Weather Bureau, the State average of 10.79 inches for the year was 

2.39 inches below normal for the period of record. The warm, dry weather during the irrigation 

season, especially in the southern part of the State, was responsible for heavy pumping in many 

of the principal ground-water districts, and resulted in a general decline in ground-water levels.

Pumpage

Of the more than 31,000 operating wells in Utah, approximately one-half are flowing artesian 

wells and the other half are pumped for irrigation, municipal, or domestic use. It is estimated 

that at least 80 percent of the total pumpage from these wells is concentrated in 4 principal irrigation districts in southern Utah, namely: Milford, Beryl-Enterprise, Cedar City, and Parowan 

districts. More than 116,000 acre-feet of water was pumped from the 414 operating irrigation 

wells in these 4 districts, and pumping lifts ranged from about 50 to 150 feet. The number of 

wells and pumpage in acre-feet for the pumping districts are shown in the following table:

The progressive increase in the use of ground water for irrigation in the Milford and 

Beryl-Enterprise districts during the past 10 years is shown in figure 21.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In general, water levels in observation wells in the southern part of Utah have continued to 

decline during the past few years in response to the extended drought that has prevailed and to the 

accelerated use of ground water for irrigation. In the northern part of the State, water levels 

fluctuate considerably from year to year, but in most observation wells the water levels have not 

declined during the past several years. The hydrographs of 14 selected observation wells are 

shown in figures 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26. The hydrographs of these wells have been selected as 

being representative of water-level trends that prevail throughout the State. Although significant 

seasonal variations in water levels have been measured in each of these wells, only year-end 

readings have been used in these modified hydrographs to show annual changes in ground-water 

storage.

As noted in each of the hydrographs selected to represent conditions in northern Utah, water 

levels remained relatively constant or rose slightly during the period of record. Although there 

has been some increase in ground-water use in recent years, recharge from precipitation has 

been sufficient to more than offset this use. The water level in well (A-2-l)19dbc-l in the city of 

Bountiful declined since 1951 largely as a result of the pumping of several new wells in the immediate vicinity. The hydrographs of 3 wells in this group, (B-5-2)4cdd-l, (A-2-l)19dbc-l, and 

(D-2-l)4dbd-4, show alternately the effects of deficient precipitation during the year of 1951 and 

the abnormally high spring runoff of 1952. Wells (A-12-l)29bdd-l and (C-2-4)33add-l, in 

Cache Valley and Tooele Valley, respectively, are situated in the middle of large ground-water 

basins, far removed from the direct effects of recharging mountain streams. The water levels 

in these two wells rose steadily until 1948 and declined slightly during the period from 1948 to 1953 

inclusive. The water level in the Willard well (B-8-2)23cdb-l, reached an alltime high in ' 

December 1945 and declined very slightly from January 1946 through 1953. At the end of 1953, 

however, the water level in this well was still more than 7 feet higher than it was at the beginning 

of record in January 1936.

In four of the five wells whose hydrographs are shown in figures 24 and 25, the water levels 

at the end of 1953 were higher than they were at the beginning of their respective records. The 

water level in well (C-29-10)6ddc-l, however, situated in the middle of the Milford pumping district, declined continuously from 1941 through 1953, and a net decline amounting to about 4 feet 

is indicated for the entire period of record from 1932 through 1953. The water levels in 3 wells 

in this group, namely (D-5-l)14adb-l in American Fork; (C-21-5)21aba-l, near Flowell; and 

(D-16-3)32ddc-2 near Ephraim show the effects of spring runoff of nearby mountain streams, 

especially during the abnormally high runoff in 1952. The water level in well (C-23-2)19dab-l 

near Richfield has fluctuated as much as 20 feet during the past 17 years, and the net rise during 

this period amounted to about 15 feet. All four of these wells record the changes of water level 

In a relatively small, steeply inclined ground-water basin. On the other hand, well 

(C-29-10)6ddc-l, near Milford, is in the midst of a large group of irrigation wells pumping from 

an exceptionally large underground reservoir. In general, water-level trends in the Milford 

district have been downward since 1939 in response to abnormally low precipitation and accelerated pumping, although the quantities of ground water in storage are large, as compared to seasonal changes in storage. (See figs. 24 and 25.)

90 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1953, NORTHWESTERN STATES

The water levels in well (C-35-ll)33aac-l in Cedar City Valley and in well (C-35-17)25cdd-l 

in the Beryl-Enterprise district (figure 26) declined during their respective periods of records. 

The net decline in well (C-35-ll)33aac-l amounted to about 21 feet from January 1933 to December 

1953, and the net decline in well (C-35-17)25cdd-l amounted to about 11 feet from January 1936 

to December 1953. The water levels in other wells in both valleys are reported to be at recordlow stages because of intense drought conditions, especially in the southwest part of the State. 

The hydrograph of well (C-35-ll)33aac-l can be correlated with the runoff from Coal Creek. 

This stream is one of the principal sources of ground-water recharge to this valley, and it is 

believed that a few years of normal precipitation in this area could result in the underground 

reservoir being refilled to near-capacity levels. Water levels in the Beryl-Enterprise district, 

on the other hand, reflect the gradual un water ing of an exceptionally large underground reservoir. 

The hydrograph of well (C-35-17)25cdd-l, situated in the center of this extensive district, shows 

only minor-fluctuations from one year to the next, and indicates a general downward trend that 

has been in effect since pumping began. This trend has been accelerated during recent years of 

increased irrigation. Parowan Valley, as suggested by the hydrograph of well (C-33-9)34dcd-l, 

has not suffered from the deficiency of precipitation of recent years as have many of the other 

valleys. Although many new wells have been drilled recently in this district, recharge from 

streams entering the valley replenishes the underground reservoir every few years,and a large 

tract of waterlogged waste land is created in the valley trough. As the irrigation season progresses, the water levels in wells situated within the district are affected more and more by 

pumping. However, the ground-water levels are now higher than in the earlier years of record.

Acknowledgments

Witer-level records from several observation wells in Salt Lake Valley were furnished 

through informal cooperation with the Salt Lake City Corporation. Records of 151 observation 

wells, including 11 recording gages, in the East Shore area of Weber and Davis Counties and 3 

recording gages in Wasatch County were furnished by the Bureau of Reclamation.

Well-Numbering System

The well number assigned to each water well in the State indicates the location of the well 

with reference to land subdivision, according to a system adopted by the State Engineer and described in his 20th Biennial Report (1936) page 87. By this system the State is divided into four 

quadrants by the Salt Lake base and meridian. These quadrants are designated by capital letters, 

thus: A for the northeast quadrant, representing townships north, ranges east; B_ for the northwest 

quadrant; C for the southwest; and D for the southeast. The designation of the township is enclosed 

in parentheses, and includes one of these letters, the number of the township, and the number of 

the range. Thus, in the number of well (C-26-10)32cad-l in Beaver County, the portion within 

parentheses indicates that the well is in T. 26 S., R. 10 W. The number following the parentheses 

designates the section, and the lowercase letters give the location of the well within the section, 

the first letter indicating the quarter section and succeeding letters showing the location within the 

quarter-section down to a 10-acre tract. Thus, number (C-26-10)32cad-l represents well number 

1 in the SEiNEiSW^ sec. 32, T. 26 S., R. 10 W. In the area surveyed from the Uinta special 

base and meridian (in Duchesne and Uintah Counties) the well numbers are derived in the same 

manner, and are preceded by the letter U. The State claim or application number given is that 

used in records of the State Engineer; claim numbers refer to wells that were in existence when 

the State ground-water law went into effect in March 1935, and the application numbers refer to 

wells completed since that date.

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 preceding the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings 

between minus (-) signs are below the plane of reference; those between plus (+) signs are above 

the plane of reference.

WASHINGTON

By Glen D. Holmberg

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Washington was continued in 1953 In cooperation with the 

State Department of Conservation and Development, Water Resources Division. Included in this 

report are measurements of one lake and 112 wells, 23 of which are included for the first time. 

Nine recording and eight nonrecording gages were operated during the year. Additional wells, 

not included in the report, were measured periodically in several areas in connection with investigations of the ground-water resources of counties or other areas. Investigational projects include the Seattle metropolitan area in King County, Tacoma-Central Pierce County area, Lewis 

County, Whitman County, and the Columbia Basin area. Ground-water investigations completed 

include those in the Sammamish Lake area of King County and the Ahtanum Valley area of Yakima 

County. Two reports, "Ground water in the lower Ahtanum Valley, Washington,and possible 

effects of increased withdrawal in that area", and "Ground water in the Yelm area, Thurston and 

Pierce Counties", were released to open file. Water-Supply Paper 1135, "Ground-water resources 

of Snohomish County, Washington," was published. (See fig. 27 for location of observation wells.)

Pr ecipitation

The Cascade Range divides the State into eastern and western parts which have distinctly 

different climatic conditions. Annual precipitation in most of the eastern part of the State generally ranges from 7 to 15 inches except along the eastern border and in the southeastern corner. 

Average precipitation in these two areas ranges from 20 to 25 inches and 20 to 40 inches, 

respectively. In western Washington, average annual precipitation for most of the central part 

of the area ranges from 40 to 60 inches. Along the west slope of the Cascades and also along 

the Pacific Coast average annual precipitation at many places is as much as 100 inches.

The first of the following tables shows monthly distribution of precipitation at three representative stations. The normal precipitation is shown in comparison with the precipitation for 

1953. Records of the Olympia station are representative of western Washington and the records 

of the Ellensburg and the Spokane stations are representative of eastern Washington. The second 

table shows precipitation for the year ending December 31, 1953, at 10 representative stations; 

and also the ratio, in percent, of the 1953 precipitation to the normal annual precipitation for 

each of those stations. Precipitation data were obtained from the U. S. Weather Bureau.

Interpretations of Water-Level Fluctuations

East of the Cascades precipitation is generally low to moderate; many aquifers are never 

full but maintain a position of equilibrium between recharge and discharge. The water table in 

much of the area is at a considerable depth, at places being several hundred feet below the 

land surface. Precipitation available for recharge is rarely rejected; recharge occurs during 

winter and spring months when precipitation is greatest, and evaporation and transpiration demands are least. For these reasons during a wet cycle, which may continue for a number of 

years, the water table will show a general rise on which is superimposed the annual fluctuations. 

During a period of several dry years, of course, the converse is true, and there will be a general 

decline extending over the period.

In contrast, many of the aquifers west of the Cascades are relatively shallow; the water 

table is near the surface and they are filled to overflowing nearly every year. Continued heavy 

rainfall, after a certain point is reached, does not raise the water table any further. The water 

table generally reaches a maximum fairly early in the rainy season, continued rainfall holds it at 

that level without raising it materially. In these aquifers the annual range of fluctuation is much 

greater than the range due to cycles of wet and dry years.

Although the preceding two paragraphs describe the general ground-water conditions in 

eastern and western Washington, respectively, it should be pointed out that there are exceptions 

to these general conditions. Some aquifers in eastern Washington, especially in the large valleys, 

are shallow and respond quite rapidly to precipitation. On the other hand, some aquifers in 

western Washington are deeper artesian aquifers and respond much more slowly to precipitation.

Most water levels in the State were considerably below normal at the beginning of 1953 because of below-normal precipitation over the entire State during 1952. However, precipitation 

during January 1953 was more than twice the normal at most stations in the State and water levels 

in many wells began to recover rapidly. Precipitation for the remainder of the year was generally 

above normal, so that by the end of 1953, water levels of most wells were near or above normal, 

except in areas of large withdrawal.

The following examples show the water level trends in the major aquifers of the State. 

Well 20/3-30C2 in Tacoma is a drilled well, 244 feet deep, in sand and gravel. Water levels in 

this well were below average all year with new monthly minimums recorded in all months except 

June, October, November, and December. This well is representative of Tacoma publicsupply wells. Owing to below-normal precipitation during 1952, the water level in well 30/5-22A1 

in Snohomish County established a new low in January, and even though precipitation was above 

normal, the water level had not recovered to normal by the end of the year. The water level in 

well 23/1-2C2 in Kitsap County, representative of wells in glacial sand and gravel near Puget 

Sound, was above average during most of the year due to the above-normal precipitation. Well 

23/19-4E2 in the town of Cashmere is representative of shallow wells in the river valleys on the 

eastern slopes of the Cascade Range. This is a dug well, 24 feet deep, in sand and gravel. The 

water level in this well rose considerably from the low of December 1952 but remained below 

normal until near the end of the year. Well 18/30-34M1 in the Columbia Basin project area of 

Grant County is 147 feet deep. It is characteristic of many wells in the central part of the State 

which obtain water from the extensive basaltic lava flows. The water level remained slightly 

below average during the entire year. Well 25/45-16C1 is dug 129 feet in the very permeable 

glacial gravels of the Spokane well. This well is representative of wells in the Spokane River 

valley. Water levels were average or slightly below throughout the year.
WASHINGTON 133

Water levels in those parts of the Columbia Basin project receiving irrigation water continued the very pronounced rise which started in 1952 when irrigation began. Significant rises in 

water level were observed in 25 observation wells in the Columbia Basin project. Of these, 17 

showed rises of more than 20 feet directly attributable to the application of water. Figure 28 

shows hydrographs of two wells, one in basalt and one in sand, showing the rising water level 

due to recharge from irrigation.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. For example, in the well number 25/43-15P1, the part preceding the hyphen indicates township and range (T. 25 N., R. 43 E.) north and east of the Willamette base line and 

meridian. (Because all townships in Washington are north of the Willamette base line the letter 

N, indicating north, is omitted; and because most of the State is east of the Willamette meridian 

the letter E is omitted for those ranges east of the Willamette meridian, but W is included when 

the range lies west of the Willamette meridian.) The first digit following the hyphen indicates the 

section (sec. 15) and the letter (P) give the 40-acre subdivision of the section as shown in the 

diagram. The last digit (1) is the serial of the well in that particular 40-acre tract. Thus, 

the first well recorded in the SEjSW? sec. 15, T. 25 N., R. 43 E., would have the number 

25/43-15P1, and the second well would have the number 25/43-15P2.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Wyoming was continued in 1953 in cooperation with the 

State Engineer, the city of Cheyenne, and as part of the program for the development of the water 

resources of the Missouri River basin. Measurements of water levels were made in 106 wells. 

In addition to the water-level measurements given in this report, many measurements of water 

levels were made during project studies and have been or will be published in the project reports. 

The following reports containing tabulations of water-level measurements were issued during 

1953: Geology and ground-water resources of the Egbert-Pine Bluffs-Carpenter area, Laramie 

County, Wyo. (U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 1140); Reconnaissance of the geology and 

ground-water resources of the Glendo-Wendover area, Platte County, Wyo. (U. S. Geol. Survey 

Circular 163); Ground-water conditions in the Soil and Moisture Conservation Demonstration 

area near Torrington, Goshen County, Wyo. (U. S. Geol. Survey.Circular 238); Reconnaissance 

of the geology and ground-water resources of the La Prele area, Converse County, Wyo. (U. S. 

Geol. Survey Circular £43). (See figs. 29-34 for location of observation wells.)

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels fluctuate in response to precipitation, surface runoff in streams, the amount 

of water used in irrigated areas, the amount pumped from wella, and the amount of ground water 

withdrawn by plants. Water levels in the alluvium along the stream valleys generally were lower 

in 1953 than they were in 1952, the average depth to water being about 0.4 foot lower in September 

1953. Water levels in the Cheyenne municipal well field continued to decline during 1953. The 

average decline in water levels was 7.6 feet with the largest decline occurring in the part of the 

well field that was brought into production during the latter part of 1952 The withdrawal of 

ground water in the area was unusually large during the year. In the irrigated area along the 

North Platte River in Goshen County, the use of water for irrigation causes an appreciable 

fluctuation of the water levels. Water levels begin to rise in the spring*and continue to rise until 

irrigation is discontinued in the fall, reaching their peak level about the end of September. In 

September 1953, the average water level was about 0. 8 foot lower than in September 1952, and 

about 0.3 foot lower than in September 1951. In the Wheatland Flats area, Platte County, the 

water levels rose rapidly as soon as irrigation water was applied in the spring and continued to 

rise until fall, when irrigation was discontinued. The average peak water level reached during 

1953 was about 2.9 feet lower than the peak reached during the previous year. Water levels in 

the Riverton Project, Fremont County, rose an average of about 0. 5 foot during the year. 

During the past year water levels declined in the Glendo area, Platte County, and the Owl Creek 

Project, Hot Springs County; and remained about the same in the Pass Creek area, Carbon 

County, and the Pine Bluffs area, Laramie County.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, 

and the third the section. The lowercase letters, a, b, c, and d, following the section number 

indicate the location of the well within the section, the first letter denotes the 160-acre tract; 

the second the 40-acre tract; and the third the 10-acre tract. When more than one well is in the 

smallest significant tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added as suffixes. Below 

is a graphical illustration of this method of well numbering within a section of 640 acres. Well 

numbers preceded by the capital letters A, B, C, and D designate wells in the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants, respectively, of the Wind River meridian and base 

line system. Well numbers not preceded by a capital letter designate wells in the sixth principal 

meridian and base line system.
