WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1952

Part 4. SOUTH-CENTRAL

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 volumes, covering the northeastern, southeastern, northcentral, 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 1952.

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 by 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 by 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 depending upon the conditions at those particular times.
2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1952, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-surface datum or sealevel datum. Land-surface 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.

ARKANSAS

By J. H. Criner and R. C. Baker

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Arkansas was continued in 1952 in cooperation with the 

State Agricultural Experiment Station, the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, and the Division of 

Geology of the Arkansas Resources and Development Commission. Monthly measurements for 

22 wells and the daily record of three recording gages are included in this report. Annual 

measureifients for two wells tapping sand of Claiborne age are given. Also included is information about the yearly change in water-levels in about 325 seasonally used rice irrigation wells 

tapping deposits of Quaternary age. Investigation of ground-water conditions was started in 

Chicot, Desha, Drew, and Lincoln Counties in southeastern Arkansas in the spring of 1952. In 

this area there is a. general change from cotton to rice as a major crop.

Pre cipitation

The total average precipitation for Arkansas for 1952 was 43. 12 inches. The average 

precipitation for Arkansas for 63 years is 48. 82 inches. November was the wettest month with 

7. 01 inches and June was the driest month with 0. 49 inch precipitation. Below-normal precipitation occurred early in the year, leading to a severe drought that persisted until November.

Pumpage

In Arkansas in 1952 ground water was used at an estimated yearly rate of about 865 million 

gallons per day. Of this about 720 million gallons daily was for irrigation, of which rice is the 

principal irrigated crop; 145 million gallons per day was for public supply, domestic, and 

industrial use. Most of the ground water was used in the Gulf Coastal Plain area which is the 

southeastern half of the State. Rice is grown in the eastern part of the State from the Missouri 

boundary to the Louisiana boundary. The rate of use of ground water for irrigation is increasing 

tremendously, particularly in the northeastern and southeastern part of the State. There has 

been an increase in the industrial use of ground water in the State, particularly in the central and 

southern part.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water-level fluctuations in wells are caused by natural recharge and discharge, atmospheric pressure changes, and pumping. Natural recharge and discharge depend largely on the 

size and location of the recharge and discharge areas, the composition of the material the water 

moves through, and the availability of water. The extent of fluctuation due to natural recharge 

and discharge usually is difficult to determine. Water levels in many wells fluctuate as a result 

of changes in atmospheric pressure and may differ as much as one foot in a few days. Changes 

in water levels in most of the wells are caused by pumping. When pumping begins the water level 

in and near the well declines rapidly at first and then at a decreasing rate as pumping continues. 

When pumping stops the water level rises rapidly at first and then at a decreasing rate, finally 

approaching the level at which it would have stood had there been no pumping. Most of the ground 

water used for irrigation in Arkansas is taken from wells tapping deposits of Quaternary age. 

These wells are generally less than 200 feet in depth and are known locally as "shallow" or 

"Quaternary" wells. A relatively minor amount of water for irrigation is taken from deposits of 

Claiborne age and wells tapping these deposits are known locally as "deep" wells. Pumping from 

irrigation wells is seasonal in nature. The water levels stand highest in the spring before pumping begins then decline during the summer as a result of pumping. After pumping stops in the 

fall, the water levels rise and by spring tend to stand near the previous spring levels. The 

general trend of water levels or artesian head in irrigated areas may be determined by annual 

measurements in the spring, made as late as possible before pumping begins. In some years the 

measurements of water levels were made in the fall, but the general trend of water levels may 

be marked by local irregularities caused by differences in pumping. Annual spring measurements 

are made in a large number of irrigation wells.

The publication of data for the wells tapping deposits of Quaternary age, for which annual 

measurements have been published in previous annual water-level reports and for which no 

measurements appear in this report, has been discontinued in the annual water-level reports.

Instead the yearly change in water levels is shown on maps. On figure 2 which is the Grand 

Prairie region, the change in water levels from April 1951 to April 1952, about 275 wells tapping 

deposits of Quaternary age, are shown by patterns. Fluctuations in water levels in this region 

are caused in part by changes in barometric pressure so the measurements have been corrected 

for these changes. Barometric readings from a barograph are available from the Department of 

Agricultural Engineering of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Most of the changes of 

water levels shown for the Grand Prairie region are caused by pumping. Apparently the amount 

of recharge from local precipitation is very small. At several places there is evidence of recharge through abandoned wells. Some water-level fluctuations in wells near the White River are 

caused by stages of the river. Figures 3 and 4 show the changes in water levels from April 

1951 to April 1952 in wells tapping deposits of Quaternary age in northeastern and southeastern 

Arkansas. In these areas the wells are so scattered that it is not possible to show the changes 

in water levels by means of patterns. The location of each well is shown and a figure gives the 

decline in water level for the well. These measurements have not been corrected for changes in 

barometric pressure. General conditions suggest that locally there is recharge from precipitation or from surface water. Pumping in wells for public supply and industrial use, such as at 

Altheimer and Pine Bluff in Jefferson County, Crossett in Ashley County, El Dorado in Union 

County, and Magnolia in Columbia County, generally is continuous throughout the year and there 

may not be a marked seasonal trend of water levels. The water levels in these wells may be 

affected at any time during the year by temporary or local irregularities in the distribution and 

rate of pumping. Single annual water-level measurements will not show the general trend of the 

water levels so well as measurements made at monthly intervals or nearly so well as continuous 

records of water levels from recording gages.

Professor Kyle Engler of the Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of 

Arkansas, assisted in making the annual water-level measurements in irrigation wells in 1952.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. The first digit of the well number indicates the township, the second the range, and 

the third the section in which the well is situated. The lowercase letters --a, b, c, and d-- 

indicate the well location within the section; the first letter denotes the quarter section (160-acre 

tract), the second the quarter-quarter section (40-acre tract), the third the quarter-quarterquarter section (10-acre tract). The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, 

starting in the northeast quarter.

LOUISIANA

By A. N. Turcan, Jr.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Louisiana was continued during 1952 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Public Works and the Geological Survey, Louisiana Department of 

Conservation. Measuremente of water levels were made in 314 wells in 29 parishes. Recording 

gages were in operation on 49 of these wells for at least a part of the year. Investigations were 

made to determine if proposed surface-water reservoirs in central Louisiana would result in 

additional recharge to the sands providing large quantities of water for industrial, rural, 

agricultural, and public-supply purposes. A comprehensive report entitled, "Water Resources 

of Southwestern Louisiana, " containing information on geology, physiography, and ground-water 

resources was completed. Pumping tests were made in the Baton Rouge area to determine the 

hydraulic characteristics of the aquifers tapped by supply wells.

Precipitation

The annual precipitation in Louisiana in 1952 was 48.75 inches which is 6.93 inches below 

normal. Except for the months of August, September, and October, when the precipitation was 

below normal, the rainfall was uniformly distributed throughout the year.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In general, there were no serious water-level declines recorded in Louisiana in 1952. The 

water levels in wells screened in sand of Eocene age, the principal fresh-water bearing sand in 

northern Louisiana, changed little from 1951. During 1952 the low at Bastrop in Morehouse Parish 

was76 feet; at Hodge in Jackson Parish (Ja-13) it was 114feet. (See fig. 5.) At Springhill in Webster 

Parish the water levels in wells screened in the Sparta sand recovered from 123 feet to 100 feet 

during the period January through December. The water level in a well at Springhill, screened 

at a depth of 150 feet, also in the Sparta sand, remained about 60 feet below land surface during 

the year. However, continued heavy withdrawals in the vicinity of Monroe in Ouachita Parish 

caused new maximum lows to be recorded in wells Ou-77 and Ou-100, which are screened at 

different depths in sands of Eocene age. The low recorded in well Ou-77, screened at a depth of 

500 feet, was 230 feet, 4 feet below that reported in 1951. In well Ou-100, screened at a depth 

of 800 feet, the maximum low reported was 112 feet, about 3 feet below the recorded low in 1951. 

At Alexandria the maximum recorded low at 132 feet was about 10 feet higher than that recorded 

in 1951 in wells screened in the Catahoula formation of Miocene age, the principal fresh waterbearing sand in central Louisiana. Even though the amount of rice flooded by ground water in 

southwestern Louisiana was about the same (250,000 acres) as for previous years, the resulting 

declines of water levels in observation wells screened in sands of Pleistocene age were not as 

pronounced as for previous years because of adequate rainfall during the period of rice irrigating. 

In one well, Ac-40, in the center of the rice-farming area north of Crowley, the maximum 

recorded low water level was 73 feet, 2 feet higher than the low reported in 1951. At Lake 

Charles, where there is heavy pumping from wells for industrial and public-supply purposes, in 

addition to a heavy withdrawal of ground water for the flooding of rice fields, the maximum low 

recorded water level in a well (Cu-445) screened at a depth of 500 feet was 81 feet below land 

surface, 2 feet above the low reported in 1951. In a well (Cu-446) screened at a depth of 700 feet, 

the maximum low recorded in 1952 was 62 feet, 10 feet above the low reached in 1951. The 

maximum lows reported for 1951 were the lowest ever recorded in the area. (See figs. 6 and 7.)

In the Baton Rouge area ground water pumped for industrial purposes remained about the 

same from walls tapping the "400 foot" and "600 foot" sands and during tha year the water levels 

ranged from a low of 200 feet to 156 feet. The withdrawals from these sands and the resultant 

fluctuations of water levels in a well (EB-128) that is screened in these sands are graphically 

illustrated for the period 1941 through 1952 in figure 8 . Artesian pressures in wells in the 

flowing-well area of southeastern Louisiana showed little change from previous years.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Oklahoma, begun in 1934, was continued in 1352 in cooperation with State agencies. Most of the program was conducted in cooperation with the 

Oklahoma Geological Survey and the Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board. In the Stillwater 

Creek basin, the program was continued in cooperation with the Department of Agronomy of the 

Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. Measurements in an irrigation well at the 

Southwestern Cotton Substation, operated by the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College 

and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, near Tipton, were continued in 1952. In 1952 

measurements were made in 316 observation wells. Recording gages were operated throughout 

the year in 6 wells, and for shorter periods in 2 wells. Figures 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 show the 

location of the observation wells in Oklahoma.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the year averaged 23.62 inches, 9.77 inches below, or 71 percent of 

normal. It was the driest calendar year since 1936, and the fifth driest since 1900. Amounts 

reported by stations ranged from less than 10 inches in the Panhandle to more than 40 inches in 

part of southeastern Oklahoma. The least annual precipitation was in southern Texas County, 

where Hardesty recorded only 8.10 inches, Guymon 9.15 inches, and Goodwell 9.16 inches. The 

8.10 inches at Hardesty was the least ever recorded in a calendar year by an official weather 

station in Oklahoma. The greatest annual precipitation was 53.90 inches at Carnasaw Tower in 

McCurtain County, and the greatest monthly precipitation was 11.89 inches during April at 

Kiamichi Tower in Le Flore County. Departures from normal for the entire State ranged from 

-19.10 inches at Vinita to +3.95 inches at Idabel, and the range of departures at stations in 

counties where observation wells are situated was from -15.05 inches at Clinton to +3.95 at 

Idabel.

Pumpage

Records furnished by the Southwestern Public Service Company show that 22 percent more 

ground water was pumped in 1952 than in 1951 to meet the water needs of 7 towns in the Panhandle 

counties. The largest increase occurred at Beaver and was 31 percent. Other increases expressed in percentage were Guymon 27, Texhoma 21, Boise City 8, and Forgan 8. Hooker, 

Goodwell, and Tyrone have municipally owned water systems for which records of pumpage are 

not available. The water pumped for these towns was estimated as about 150 acre-feet, and the 

total pumpage for all municipalities in the Panhandle counties was estimated as about 2,265

acre-feet. Water pumped for industrial use was not accurately measured, but was estimated to 

have been about 570 a.cre-feet. A complete inventory or irrigation pumpage in the Oklahoma 

Panhandle the first since the end of World War II--has shown a substantial increase in use of 

ground water for irrigation. The summer of 1952 was hot and dry, and some of the older irrigation wells were pumped far more than during immediately preceding years. Wells completed 

in 1951 and 1952 added substantially to the total quantity of water pumped. Although the increase 

was real and large, it was not so great as would appear from comparison with the summaries of 

pumpage reported in Water-Supply Papers 1159, 1168, and 1194 because in previous years 

estimates for several wells were not reported and pumpage of others probably was underestimated. 

The new inventories showed that in 1952 about 18,000 acre-feet of water was pumped from 69 

wells for the irrigation of about 7,640 acres. Texas County led with 13,000 acre-feet pumped 

from 28 wells for irrigation of 5,640 acres. The total quantity of ground water pumped for all 

purposes municipal, industrial, and irrigation from wells in the Panhandle counties was 

estimated as about 21,280 acre-feet. In addition, several irrigators were pumping from sloughs, 

large open pits dug on the flood plains of creeks, or directly from creeks and rivers. As runoff 

was very low during the growing season, even the water taken directly from streams was mainly 

the effluent seepage of ground water. More than 2,000 acres was irrigated from the Cimarron 

River in Cimarron County, and about 255 acres was irrigated from several streams, or from 

sloughs or pits adjacent to streams, in Beaver County, but there was very little irrigation from 

such sources in Texas County. The water used in this way in Beaver County was estimated as 

about 390 acre-feet. An inventory made in the vicinity of Laverne and Rosston, Harper County, 

showed that about 440 acre-feet of water was pumped from 5 wells for the irrigation of about 250 

acres. This is less than the total pumpage in Harper County because records were not obtained 

for all the wells that were pumped. In 1952 many new irrigation wells were drilled in Greer, 

Harmon, Jackson, and Tillman Counties, and an inventory shows that irrigation pumpage was 

relatively high because the precipitation was far below normal although not so far below normal 

as the State average. In Greer and Jackson Counties the inventory showed that about 7,600 acrefeet of water was pumped from 30 wells not including an unknown amount pumped from 3 other 

wells. In Harmon County about 4,270 acre-feet was pumped from 26 wells to irrigate about 

1,510 acres. More farms are irrigated in Tillman County than in any of the other three counties 

in the southwestern irrigation area, but yields are generally less per well, and the total pumpage 

is relatively lower. It was estimated that about 3,250 acre-feet of water was pumped from 

approximately 47 wells to irrigate nearly 2,000 acres. In addition to the irrigation wells actually 

used in Tillman County in 1952, between 25 and 35 new wells were drilled late in the year and 

were pumped but little.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Alluvium. The only observation wells in the alluvium of the North Fork of Red River are 

Jackson County well 1 and Beckham County well 2. The water level in the Jackson County well 

rose 0.35 foot between April 1951 and March 1952; and the water level in the Beckham County 

well declined 1.60 feet between February and December 1952. Fluctuations of water levels in 

the alluvium of the Washita River were observed in Caddo County wells 2 and 3, Ouster County 

well 1, Grady County well 76, and Roger Mills County well 1; all but Caddo 2 were measured in 

October 1951 and October 1952. During this 1-year period, water levels declined from 0.31 foot 

to 3.04 feet. In Caddo 2 the decline was 1.54 feet between October 1951 and August 1952. The 

average net decline (including Caddo 2) was 1.92 feet. Water-level fluctuations in the alluvium of 

the Canadian River were observed in Canadian County well G53, and Cleveland County wells 14 

and 15. In all three wells the water levels were relatively low in January but thereafter rose 

until May, when the highest stage was recorded; then the water levels steadily declined with only 

minor variations. The range of water-level fluctuations was from 3.71 feet to 5.18 feet in the 

individual wells, and the net annual decline in the water level ranged from 1.65 to 1.95 feet. 

Water-level measurements were made in 35 wells in the alluvium of the North Canadian River 

during 1952: (a) a select group of 13 wells representative of ground water in the alluvium from 

Oklahoma City to Beaver; and (b) a larger group of 27 wells in Canadian County. Fluctuations of 

water levels in two of the wells that are closest to the river are considered to be a response 

principally to river stages. The highest stage in both of these wells was in May. The lowest 

stage in one of them was in October but the lowest in the other was in August. The net annual 

changes in these 2 wells, from October 1951 to October 1952, were declines of 0.50 foot and 0.15 

foot, respectively. Of the other 11 wells of this group, all showed net annual declines of 0.02 

foot to 4.88 feet, computed through the same 12-month period. The average net annual decline 

was 2.27 feet. Most of the water-level measurements in Canadian County were made in late 

spring, when water levels would normally be high, and again in early fall, when they would 

normally be low. A few wells were measured more frequently and they showed that the highs and 

lows came as expected, with only two exceptions. From the fall of 1951 to the fall of 1952 all 27 

wells showed net annual declines ranging from 1.15 feet to 4.23 feet and averaging 2.18 feet. In 

the municipal well field of Ponca City, which is on the flood plain of the Arkansas River., Kay 

County well 1 was measured weekly. The water-level fluctuations are due to natural recharge and 

discharge, to regular pumping of nearby wells, and occasional pumping of the observation well 

itself. The highest water level occurred on January 3, and was followed by an irregular decline 

to the lowest level, which was recorded on December 25. The net annual change was a decline of 

8.59 feet. The lowest water level in the 5-year period of observation was reached at the end of 

1952, but was only slightly below the previous low recorded at the end of June 1950 (fig. 16).

Garber sandstone and Wellington formation. The average net annual change in water levels 

for the 10 wells in the Garber sandstone and Wellington formation, in Oklahoma and Cleveland 

Counties, was a decline of 10.87 feet. All 10 wells showed declines of water level, which 

ranged from 1.49 feet (Oklahoma County well 2) to 43.65 feet (Oklahoma County well 4). Varying 

rates of pumping in the vicinities of the different observation wells obscured the fluctuations that 

may have been caused by natural recharge or discharge.

Oklahoma Panhandle. As shown by the annual measurements made in May, the groundwater levels in the Oklahoma Panhandle (Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas Counties) have continued 

the upward trend of the past several years (fig. 14). The average was about 1.5 feet above the 

previous high recorded in May 1951, and 6.5 feet above the low recorded in November 1938. For 

the year, May 1951 to May 1952, the average rise was 1.70 feet in Beaver County, 0.52 foot in 

Cimarron County, and 2.30 feet in Texas County. Since November 1938, the average rise has 

been 7.63 feet in Beaver County, 5.3S feet in Cimarron County, and 6.56 feet in Texas County. 

In the following tables the wells are grouped according to counties and aquifers,. and comparisons 

are made between water levels in 1951 and 1952.

Rush Springs sandstone. Water-level measurements were made weekly or monthly 

throughout the year in 20 wells in the Rush Springs sandstone of Caddo County, and recording 

gages were operated in 2 wells. In 1 well there was a net annual rise of 0.58 foot, whereas in 

the other 21 wells the net annual changes were declines ranging from 0.37 foot to 2.18 feet. The 

average net annual change was a decline of 1.15 feet. All comparisons are made between 

December 1951 and December 1952. In Grady County, fluctuations of water levels in 12 wells 

ranged from 1.04 to 7.66 feet and averaged 2.67 feet. These'fluctuations are apparently in 

response to natural recharge and discharge, as there is no heavy pumping in the area. Of the 12 

wells, 2 showed net annual rises of 0.59 foot and 1.46 feet, while the other 10 wells showed net 

annual declines ranging from 0.30 foot to 1.41 feet between December 1951 and December 1952. 

The average net annual decline was 0.59 foot. Water levels were measured weekly in Washita 

County wells 6 and 13. Net annual changes were declines of 0.66 foot and 1.29 feet, respectively, 

between December 1951 and December 1952. Figure 18 shows water levels from 4 recording

rose from 0.05 foot to 6.04 feet between April 1951 and March 1952, while in 7 other wells the 

water levels declined from 0.15 to 6.95 feet. In another, the water level declined 0.27 foot

1952 was a decline of 0.42 foot. Of the 9 observation wells In Harmon County, only 4 were 

measured in both 1951 and 1952. Water levels rose an average of 3.28 feet in 3 of them but 

declined 0.87 foot in the other. Water-level measurements were made in 4 wells In Tillman 

County in April of both 1951 and 1952. The net annual change of water levels was a rise ranging 

from 0.31 foot to 1.09 feet In the different wells, and averaging 0.75 foot.

Stillwater Creek basin. Measurements of water levels in the observation wells of the 

Still water Creek basin (Payne County) were made near the end of each month. During the 12 

months, December 1951 to December 1952, 4 wells showed rises ranging from 0.38 foot to 3.76 

feet, while 4 other wells showed declines ranging from 1.64 to 5.20 feet. The average range of 

water-level fluctuations in 8 wells was 6.53 feet, and in December 1952 the average water level 

was 1.16 feet lower than in December 1951 (fig. 15).

in Tillman County, showed a range of 7.61 feet in water-level fluctuations in 1952. The highest 

level was on July 21, and the lowest occurred about six weeks later, on September 1. The net 

annual change of water level from December 1951 to December 1952 was a decline of 2.36 feet. 

Unlike the record of 1951, the record of 1952 showed no particular pattern or trend of fluctuations. Oklahoma County wells 10, 11, and 12 tap water in terrace deposits from which water 

is pumped for industrial and domestic purposes. From the beginning of the records, in 1945, to 

the end of December 1952, the net declines of water levels in these wells have been 0.73 foot, 

4.50 feet, and 4.01 feet, respectively. During 1952, well 10, which is the nearest to Bethany, 

showed a small rise of 0.35 foot. This rise, probably reflects the filling of the cone of depression created by previous pumping in the old Bethany well field, where wells have not been in 

use since about the beginning of 1951. Meanwhile the water levels in wells 11 and 12, which are 

0.5 and 1.0 mile farther west, declined 1.48 and 1.54 feet, respectively. These declines 

doubtless are part of the general decline of the water table caused by lack of recharge, perhaps 

coupled with small withdrawals. In the vicinity of these two wells, the tendency toward filling of 

the cone of depression, if operative, was not enough to offset the general decline. Cleveland 

County well 1 is in a thin terrace deposit, and the range of water-level fluctuations for 1952 was 

6.70 feet, the high being reached on May 28 and the low on December 31. As in the preceding 

year, the water level was approximately normal at the beginning of the year. By May it had 

reached an abnormal high, and thereafter it declined steadily to the low of the year in December. 

The net annual change from December 1951 to December 1952 was a decline of 1.92 feet. Water 

levels in 34 wells in the terrace deposits of Garfield, Kingfisher, and Major Counties showed an 

average net annual decline of 1.04 feet between December 1951 and December 1952. Of these, 

25 showed declines of water level ranging from 0.04 foot to 4.46 feet, and 9 showed rises ranging 

from 0.21 foot to 2.77 feet. In 3 other wells the water levels were not measured on dates 

appropriate for making comparisons. Figure 17 shows typical water-level fluctuations, taken 

from a recording gage.

Vamoosa formation. A well owned by the Skelly Gas Corp. at Seminole, in Seminole 

County, is in sandstones of the Vamoosa formation and the water level in it has shown a general 

rise since the beginning of the record in 1948. At the end of 1952 the net rise was 14.88 feet. 

The day-to-day fluctuations of water level in the well appear to be due to variations in pumping 

from other wells in the vicinity. No seasonal pattern of fluctuations is evident. The highest 

water level for the year and for the entire period of record was reached on May 24, 1952, and 

the net annual change from December 31, 1951 to December 31, 1952 was a rise of 2.58 feet.

TEXAS

By C. R. Follett, G. H. Shafer, and B. W. Swartz

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Texas, which began in 1929 in cooperation with the Texas 

State Board of Water Engineers, was continued in 1952. During 1952, measurements were made 

in 1,028 wells in 49 counties and recording gages were maintained on 13 wells. Figures 19 to 34 

show the location of observation wells in Texas.

Precipitation

The average yearly precipitation decreases from east to west. Most of the area east of the 

97th meridian is humid or semihumid; the middle section is semihumid to semiarid; and the area 

west of the 101st meridian is semiarid to arid. The average yearly precipitation ranges from 

56.13 inches at Bon Wier in Newton County in the eastern part to 9.17 inches in El Paso in the 

extreme western part of the State; the yearly rainfall at these stations ranges from 38.21 to 81. 92 

at Bon Wier and 2.22 to 21. 81 at El Paso. In 1952 the average amount of precipitation was 

22.94 inches or 4.76 inches below normal. Precipitation was below normal for the State as a 

whole although above-normal precipitation occurred in some months at some stations. The 

maximum precipitation during the year was 70.89 inches at Orange in the extreme southeastern 

part of the State; the minimum, 4.09 inches at Boquillas Ranger Station. The greatest deficiency 

occurred at Ricardo in south Texas, which had 15.36 inches less than normal. The greatest 

above-normal rainfall was 22. 85 inches at Blanco in central Texas. A severe drought which has 

prevailed over most of the State since 1950 continued except in an area in central Texas where 

heavy rains occurred in September 1952. In August precipitation was below normal throughout 

the State, many stations reporting no rain whatever during the month. Most of the State continued 

hot and dry in September, but a notable exception was a tongue of excessive rain that extended 

from the coast northwestward up the Guadalupe and Colorado watersheds. Heavy rains occurred 

in the Cibolo Creek watershed and caused major flooding in Cibolo Creek and the lower portion of 

the San Antonio River. In October severe conditions prevailed throughout the State with an average 

precipitation of only 0.03 inch, which is the lowest on record for any month since records began 

in 1888. In November precipitation was below normal in the Rio Grande Valley. In December 

precipitation was above normal in central and northeastern Texas, but below normal elsewhere in 

the State.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Southern High Plains. Irrigation from wells in the Southern High Plains of Texas was 

started in 1911. Development of ground water for irrigation progressed slowly until 1937 when 

only 500 wells were in use. During 1937 the number of wells doubled, and during the succeeding 

6 years new wells were added at rates ranging from 120 to 480 wells a year. From 1943 to 1952 

the accelerated rate of drilling new wells was phenomenal. During this 10-year period over 

15,000 irrigation wells were added, and the total number of wells in use by January 1, 1953 was 

about 17,700. This represents about 85 percent of the wells used for irrigation in Texas. There 

are about 6,800,000 acres in 20 counties in the irrigation area with 35 percent, or 2,150,000 

acres, irrigated in 1952. The total water pumped from 1938 to 1952 was about 11,000,000 acrefeet. Pumpage was about 1,600,000 acre-feet in 1950, 2,000,000 acre-feet in 1951, and 

3,750,000 acre-feet in 1952. Water-level measurements are made in about 500 observation wells 

in January, February, or March each year just before the pumping season begins and when the 

water level has made its maximum recovery from the previous year's pumping. Thus, the effect 

of pumping during the preceding year is reflected in the water levels. The average net decline of 

the irrigated portion of the 20-county portion of the Southern High Plains from January 1951 to 

January 1952 was 2.1 feet. (See figs. 35, 36, and 37.)

Winter Garden District. The irrigation of vegetables has been in progress in the Winter 

Garden District of Dimmit and Zavala Counties for about 32 years. In more recent years citrus 

fruits, grain sorghum, cotton, and oats have been irrigated. Most of the vegetables are grown 

as a winter crop; the grain sorghum and cotton are grown during the summer; the oats are grown 

during the fall and winter primarily for grazing; and citrus fruits are irrigated mostly during the 

winter and spring. Most of the irrigation wells draw water from the Carrizo sand which crops

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

County. In some localities the water from irrigation wells is supplemented by surface water 

from the Nueces River and impounding reservoirs on Pendencia, Turkey, and Comanche Creeks. 

The table on page 140 shows the highest measurement recorded during the 3-month period. Some 

of the observation wells are in the heavily pumped areas; others are in the lightly pumped areas; 

the outcrop areas; or in areas remote from pumping.

Houston-Galveston region. The Houston-Galveston region includes Galveston County, 

Harris County west of the San Jacinto River, and parts of Fort Bend, Waller, and Montgomery 

Counties. The region excluding Galveston County is known as the Houston district. Large 

quantities of ground water are pumped for industrial and municipal purposes in the HoustonPasadena area and the Galveston area, and for irrigation of rice in the Katy area west of Houston. 

The wells of the Houston region draw water from sands that crop out from 10 to 50 miles west, 

northwest, and north of Houston. About 300 observation wells are measured at irregular intervals. The average daily withdrawal of ground water in the Houston district increased from 248 

million gallons a day in 1949 to 308 million gallons a day in 1952. The increase was about equally 

divided between the Houston-Pasadena area and the Katy rice area. (See fig. 38.)

The following table gives the estimated average daily withdrawal of ground water in the 

Houston-Pasadena area and the Katy area:

The water levels in observation wells 490 and 1230 are indicative of the trend but not necessarily the magnitude of the water level in the Houston-Pasadena area. The 1952 water level in 

well 490 at Alief, which is somewhat distant from the heavily pumped area, averaged 8.4 feet 

lower than in 1951. The 1952 water level in well 1230, which is just south of the heavily pumped 

Pasadena area, averaged 11.1 feet lower than in 1951. The amount of decline in the water levels 

in the observation wells varies with their proximity to the heavily pumped areas and depends upon 

whether they were screened in the lightly pumped shallow zone, the heavily pumped middle zone, 

or the only recently utilized deep zone. See figure 39 for hydrographs of wells 619 and 1170.

Water used for rice irrigation in the Katy rice area represents about 35 percent of the total 

pumped in the Houston district. The average decline for 57 wells was 2.7 feet between March 

1951 and 1952, and 23 feet between 1931 and 1952. The decline in water levels in the area has 

been relatively small compared with that in the Houston-Pasadena area.

Galveston County. In the Galveston area, the rate of ground-water withdrawal was about 

the same in 1952 as it was in 1951. The water levels have reached an approximate equilibrium 

except for minor local changes.

Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties. Water pumped from the Carrizo sands in Angelina and 

Nacogdoches Counties supplies most of the water used for public supplies by the cities of Lufkin 

and Nacogdoches and for industrial purposes at the Southland Paper Mills, Inc. at Lufkin. In the 

rural areas, domestic and stock water is obtained from shallow wells which do not reach the 

Carrizo sand. Figure 40 shows graphically the average daily pumpage of water from the Carrizo 

sand and the resulting fluctuations in artesian pressure caused by pumping.

Balcones Fault Zone. Observation wells that draw water from the Glen Rose limestone, 

Edwards limestone, Austin chalk, and younger formations are along the Balcones Fault zone from 

Del Rio eastward through San Antonio and then northeastward to Georgetown. (See fig. 41.) The 

wells are in Val Verde, Kinney, Uvalde, Medina, Bexar, Comal, Hays, Travis, and Williamson 

Counties.

Several Briscoe County water-level measurements were made by the Soil Conservation 

Service, Department of Agriculture; some measurements in Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties 

were made by the Southland Paper Mills, Inc. All measurements in Harris County well 1170 

were made by the Houston Lighting and Power Company. Three recording gages in San Antonio 

are maintained by the City Water Board.

Well-Numbering System

Three well-numbering systems have been used in Texas: (1) wells numbered consecutively 

beginning with 1 in upper left corner of the map and progressing back and forth across the map; 

(2) a grid system using a letter and a number to identify the grid followed by consecutive well 

numbers in each grid; (3) a grid system using a letter to identify the grid followed by consecutive 

well numbers in each grid. In some cases the well-numbering system was changed from system 

(1) to system (3) when a second report was released on the same area.
