WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1947

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN 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 groundwater supplies in such parts of the country as have been covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the southeastern States and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure in about 1,071 observation wells of the 

Geological Survey 'and cooperating agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, 

Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee^ 

Virginia, and West Virginia. Of these wells, 132 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records of water level are given in this volume, including those of 

the years before 1947. For wells whose previous records have been published this volume gives only the current records. If a complete description of a well has been published in a previous report, only the well 

number and a brief identifying description are given in this report. The 

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

water-supply pa'pers 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 9,812 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 01* 

below various assumed datum planes. It had been considered inadvisable to
INTRODUCTION

adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and artesian heads 

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

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 planesIf the water levels or artesian heads are referred to land-surface datum 

for the first tiaie, 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 

hot 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, SOUTHEASTERN 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 we^ls are situated. At the end of 1947 the network included 

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

other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly in connection with 

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

still far from adequate, and it is expected that some wells not now included will be added to the network from time to time.

Changes in ground-water level in 1947 in the southeastern part 

of the United States

In 1947 the precipitation was above normal in Florida, Georgia, 

Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It was below normal in 

the other five States in the southeastern section of the country. 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.

ALABAMA

By P. E. LaMoreaux 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of»water levels in observation wells in Alabama, which 

were begun in June 1940, were continued through 1947 as a part of the 

ground-water investigations in cooperation with the Alabama Geological 

Survey and the Alabama Department of Public Health. These measurements 

were begun in connection with an investigation of the availability, 

occurrence, quality, and quantity of ground water in the area of outcrop 

of the Cretaceous formations of Alabama. Upon the completion of the 

studies in the Cretaceous area in 1944, the program was expanded and 

ground-water studies were begun in the outcrop area of the Tertiary formations in the southern quarter of the State, and were continued through 

1947. Progress was made on the comprehensive study of the ground-water 

resources of the entire area, while a detailed investigation was completed 

on the salt-water encroachment of the shallow aquifer in the vicinity of 

Mobile. The report has been published as Bulletin 58 of the Alabama 

Geological Survey.

The cooperative program with the Alabama State Health Department, 

begun in October 1945 to compile correlative data on mottled enamel and 

tooth decay with respect to the fluoride content of the water used for the 

public supplies of the Tertiary area, was completed September 30, 1947, 

the field work for which was completed in 194'6 and the report begun in 

1947.

Since June 1940 wells in Chilton, Dallas, Greene, Jackson, Montgomery, 

Pickena, and Tuscaloosa Counties have been under periodic observation 

(Water-Supply Papers 907, 937, 945, 987, 1017, and 1072). Prom time to 

time during the period 1940-47 observations on some of these wells were

discontinued because it was decided that they were not giving adequate

information. Of these observation wells monthly measurements have been 

made at Eutaw well 6 and a continuous water-stage recorder maintained at 

Clanton well 10 since their installation in 1941. A third well at 

Scottsboro (J-28) has a nearly complete record of observation since 1936- 

The earlier observations on this well were made by the Tennessee Valley 

Authority. A Stevens automatic water-stage recorder was installed in 

August 1945 on an abandoned well in the city of Selma well field, and a 

continuous record has been maintained at the well since its installation. 

The Selma well is near the center of the city well field, and is equipped 

with screens set opposite the producing Rutaw sands developed by the other 

city wells. A record of pumpage, by wells, in the field, and a record of 

precipitation are also being maintained.

On August 30, 1946, a Stevens water-stage recorder was reinstalled on 

Montgomery City well ISA and a continuous record maintained to the present 

time. This well is near the center of the old city of Montgomery well 

field and gives water-level data pertinent to the use of water from this 

field. Pumpage records on the surrounding wells in the field are also 

being maintained. The field is pumped at the rate of approximately 

6,000,000 gallons of water a day.

Measurements were continued on a well 10^ miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, in Tuscaloosa County, on U« S« Highway 11, which reflects shallow 

water-table conditions. Also monthly measurements were continued during 

1947 on a deep artesian flowing well at Boligee, in Oreene County. This 

well is in an area of artesian flow from the Eutaw sand underlying the 

Selma chalk group and is representative throughout a large area about 

Boligee.

On March 23, 1945, a continuous water-stage recorder was installed at 

Huntsville Spring. With the aid of a discharge table compiled by the 

surface water branch synchronized with a water-level gage, discharge of 

the spring is measured. Because the measurement is taken from a point below the intake for the city supply, the total discharge of the spring is 

computed by the addition of pumpage to the discharge measurement. Continuous pumpage, discharge of water past the gage, and precipitation records 

are being maintained on this project 

Individual measurements on observation wells in Alabama during 1947 

reached a total of 322.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Huntsville Spring, Madison County, well J-28, at Scottsboro, Jackson 

County, and well T-15, in Tuscaloosa County, are in the northern division 

designated by the U. S- Weather Bureau The accumulative rainfall in this 

area for January, February, March, and April was 24.10 inches, which was 

3.49 inches above normal for this period. This above-average rainfall was 

a result of abnormally heavy rains during January, March, April, May, and 

June, while February rainfall was 2.84 inches below normal. During the 

period July through December 1947 accumulative rainfall was 4.88 inches 

below normal. The total rainfall for 194V was 1.02 inches below normal.

Measurements were continued with the aid of a weekly water-stage 

recorder on Big Spring in the city of Huntsville- In addition, measurements were made and data collected on the pumpage, discharge of the spring, 

and rainfall. This program was continued through 1947 and indicated that 

the average annual precipitation for Huntsville for 1947 was 37.62 inches, 

or approximately 14.00 inches below normal. January and November were the 

only months with above-average rainfall. On the average the water level 

was much lower during 1947 than in 1946 when the rainfall was 11.27 inches 

above normal. However, at no time during 1947 did the-discharge of the 

spring fail to supply the city's demand of slightly over 4 million gallons 

a day. (See fig. 2.)

Well J-28, at Scottsboro, in Jackson County, recorded its highest 

water level of 1.55 feet below land-surface datum on February 10. From 

January through April the water level fluctuated slightly, followed by a 

slow decline to August 24 when a sharp decline was noted which continued 

and, due to unusually warm weather and considerably below-normal rainfall 

during the month of October, the well was dry from October 5 to 

November 10, and no measurements could be taken. From November 10 to 

December 29 when the last measurement for the year was taken, the water 

level rose to 4.12 feet below land-surface datum. (See fig. 3.)

Measurements on well T-15, in Tuscaloosa County, 10^ miles southwest 

of Tuscaloosa, were begun on May 12, 1946, and were continued in 1947. 

During 1947 the highest recorded water level was 27.82 feet below land-surface datum on May 11. The lowest reading was 30.43 feet below land-surface

datum when the last measurement for the year was taken on December 28« The 

water level experienced a gentle rise from January through May, following 

which it showed a tendency to decline the remainder of the year.

The Boligee, Clanton, Kutaw, Montgomery, and Selma observation wells 

are in the part of Alabama designated by the U- S. Weather Bureau as the 

middle division. The greatest recharge in this area takes place during the 

period January, February, March, and April. The accumulative precipitation 

recorded for this division during the January-April, or spring recharge 

period, was 26.01 inches, which was 5.67 inches above normal. During the 

drier summer months of May, June, and July accumulative rainfall was 2.84 

inches above normal. During July and August accumulative rainfall is generally responsible for recharge of water levels during the hot summer months. 

For this entire period 7.85 inches of precipitation was recorded 2.14 inches 

below normal. The rainfall in September and November was 4.58 inches above 

normal, while rainfall for October and December was 1.20 inches below normal.

The well at Boligee, in Qreene County, was measured monthly throughout; 

1947. The highest recorded water level, measured on August 1, was 7.25 feet 

above land-surface datum. The lowest water level, recorded on October 2, 

was 5.60 feet above land-surface datum. The water level experienced minor 

changes during the early months of the year. After the high water-level 

measurement of 7.23 feet above land-surface datum on August 1 there was a 

decline during the month of September, followed by a gentle rise, and on 

December 30, when the final measurement was taken, the water level had risen -Itto 6.40 feet above land-surface datum.

At Clanton, in Chilton County, well 10 recorded its highest water level 

on May 3 when the measurement was 16.35 feet below land-surface datum 0.41 

foot higher than the highest record for 1946. The water level in this well 

showed a gentle increase from January through April and then a gentle decline 

to October 25 when the lowest water level was recorded 21.66 feet below 

land-surface datum. Following this low reading there was a gentle rise and 

on December 28, when the final measurement was recorded, the water level 

had risen to 18.97 feet below land-surface datum. (See fig. 3.)

Measurements on Qreene County well 6 were continued throughout 1947. 

The highest water level for this well was 15.62 feet below land-surface datum on April 23 0.33 foot higher than the highest stage recorded on
ALABAMA, CHILTOH COUNTY 11

March 30 of the preceding year. The low for this well was reached on October 26 when Its water level stood at 18.59 feet below land-surface datum-- 

0.40 foot lower than the low reading of the previous year and 7.25 feet 

higher than the low water level recorded for 1945. (See fig. 3.)

The highest water level In well 15, In Montgomery, for 1947 was recorded on January 24 when the water level stood at 110.59 feet below landsurface datum. The water level In this well rose during January followed 

by a decline in February. Slight fluctuations during March and April were 

followed by a slight rise In May, and a decline to the lowest water level 

for the year, 124.99 feet below land-surface datum on August 1. There was 

a sharp rise to 116.99 feet below land-surface datum on August 15, followed 

by a decline In September, and a rise to 116.49 feet below land-surface 

datum on December 26 when the last measurement for the year was made.

The records for the well at Selma show that the highest water level 

was attained on January 17 when a reading of 15.35 feet below land-surface 

datum was recorded. This was 1.84 feet lower than the highest water level 

recorded for 1946. On August 23 the lowest water level of the year, 26.43 

feet below land-surface datum, was recorded. The water level remained 

fairly low for the remainder of the year, rising to only 20.68 feet below 

land-surface datum on November 15, when the last measurement was taken.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in Florida was continued in 1947 in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey and with several counties and 

cities of the State as part of a cooperative investigation of the groundwater resources of Florida, which was begun in some parts of the State as 

early as 1930. An intensive investigation in southern Florida, begun in 

1959, is being made in cooperation with Dade County, and the cities of 

Miami, Miami Beach, and Coral Gables. Other counties and cities cooperating in ground-water investigations in 1947 include Pinellas County, and the 

cities of Fort Lauderdale, Dania, Delray Beach, and Pensacola.

At the end of 1947 the program included 380 wells, 51 of which were 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. More than 3,200 individual 

measurements of water level were made during the year as a part of the program. In addition, several thousand measurements were made in wells that 

are not Included in the program. In Dade and Broward Counties alone, water 

levels were measured in more than 100 wells that are not included in the 

program of observation. Fourteen wells in St. Lucie County that were included in 1946 have been dropped from the program. The table that follows 

gives the distribution by counties of observation wells and water-stage recorders and indicates the number of water-level measurements reported for 

each county.

OCCURRENCE OF GROUND WATER

In Florida, north of Lake Okeechobee, the source of water for most 

cities, industries, farms, citrus groves, and rural hfcmea ia obtained from 

a highly productive and extensive aquifer consisting of the Ocala limestone 

and other limestones and dolomites of Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene agea. 

At most places this aquifer is overlain by a thick section of younger materials that includes relatively impervious beds which confine the water under 

artesian pressure. The water is under sufficient pressure to use above the 

land surface over roughly half the State, including a band about 20 miles 

wide along the east coast, all the area south of Lake Okeechobee, the 

Kissimmee River valley, and other areaa.

Shallow aquifers supply most of the water used in southern Florida and 

at some places along the east coast south of Duval County, where the artesian water is too highly mineralized for general use. They are also the 

principal source of supply in Escambia County. These aquifers are composed 

of limestone, sand, shell marl, and coquina, and range in age from Miocene 

to Pleistocene. Among them is the Tamiami formation in southeastern Florida, 

one of the most highly permeable aquifers in the world. Generally, however, 

the shallow aquifers are less permeable and leas productive than the deeper 

limestone aquifer.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE

Over the northern part of the State water levels and pressures were 

higher in 1947 than they were in 1946 in all but a few of the observation 

wells. Only in Nassau County were they generally as low as or lower than 

they were in the previous year. The rise in water levels and pressures was 

due chiefly to greater rainfall in 1947 than in 1946. At all the precipitation stations for which departures from normal were reported by the U. S. 

Weather Bureau, the rainfall in 1947 was greater than normal, and at only 

five of the stations was it less than the rainfall in 1946.

The slight decline of artesian pressures in the vicinity of Fernandina, 

in Nassau County, was due to changes in the rate of pumping by Rayonier, 

Inc. The artesian pressures in northeastern Florida are not influenced 

appreciably by local rainfall, but respond slowly and slightly to changes 

in rainfall at the areas of recharge of the artesian aquifer. The pressures 

have been lowered extensively at Fernandina by heavy withdrawal, but it is 

expected that any further decline will occur only as a result of increases 

in the withdrawal.

The water level in Escambia County well 45 has been lowered by the 

pumpage of the Florida Pulp and Paper Company. During the period July 1941 

through 1945 the water level declined progressively to about 19 feet below 

its original level. In 1946 the water level rose about 3 feet, probably 

because of the abnormally heavy rainfall that occurred during the year. In 

1947, however, the water level declined slightly, although the rainfall at 

the Pensacola station was 90.32 inches, 11.33 inches more than in 1946 and 

30.20 inches above normal. Elsewhere in Escambia County the water levels 

were higher in 1947 than in 1946 as a result of the heavy rainfall. In 

well 60, on Bayou Chico, where salt-water encroachment has occurred, the 

water level was higher than it has been since August 1945, but remained below sea level.

The observation-well program in Pinellas County was begun in 1946 as 

a part of an investigation of the encroachment of sea water into the limestone aquifer. The water-level records will indicate those areas of the 

county that are relatively safe from encroachment under the present pumping 

conditions. The records for Pinellas County are not as yet long enough to 

permit an adequate interpretation of annual and seasonal changes in water 

levels.

In southern Florida, the year 1947 was the wettest on record, and, as 

a result, the water levels were the highest that have been recorded. The 

rainfall was above normal from February through November. In mid-September 

a hurricane crossed Florida from Fort Lauderdale to Naples. In October another hurricane passed over the extreme southern portion of the State. 

The heavy rains that accompanied these two hurricanes, following as they 

did the above-normal rainfall which had occurred during the preceding months, 

caused high floods over large areas of southern Florida.

When water levels reached their peak after the October hurricane, Miami 

Springs, Hlaleah, parts of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and many other towns 

and villages were inundated. Water levels dropped slowly during November 

and December but were still above normal at the end of the year.

At Dania, Broward County, 13.02 inches of rain was recorded in a 24- 

hour period during October 11 and 12. Precipitation at other stations on 

October 12 was as follows: Fort Lauderdale, 10.85 inches; Hialeah, 10.41 

Inches; Perm sueo, 9.57 inches; Homestead, 5.37 inches; and Miami (October 

11), 4.96 Inches.

The total rainfall at Miami in 1947 was 69.17 inches, 30.13 inches more 

than In the previous year. Increases In annual rainfall, from 1946 to 1947 

at other Dade County stations were as follows: Coconut Grove, 24.87 Inches; 

Homestead, 29.80 inches; Pennsuco, 28.67 inches; and Kendal, 11.15 inches. 

Figures 4 and 5 show the close correlation between precipitation and groundwater levels In Dade County.

At Hypoluxo, near Lake Worth in Palm Beach County, the rainfall in 1947 

was 104.23 inches, 51.09 inches more than that in the previous year; at Fort 

Pierce, in St. Lucie County, it was 77.76 inches, 34.17 inches more than in 

1946; and at Fort Myers, In Lee County, It was 80.17 inches, 37.72 inches 

more than in 1946.

GEORGIA

By S-. M. Herrlok and H. E- LeGrand 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure In selected wells 

In Georgia, begun In 1938 In cooperation with the Georgia State Department 

of Mines, Mining, and Geology, were continued In 1947. Since 1938, when 

the program embraced wells In only three counties Chatham, Dougherty, and 

G-lynn the observation-well program has been steadily expanded until, In 

1943, It Included 231 wells In 29 counties, of which 7 counties are In the 

northern part of the State. Prom 1943 to the close of 1947 the observation-well program has been maintained on virtually the same level as In 

1943, although some wells have necessarily been discontinued due to natural 

causes failure of well through caving, general depreciation of well fixtures, etc. In 1947 automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 

four wells during the entire year and on two wells for part of the year. 

In all, 686 Individual measurements of water level and artesian pressure 

were made on wells not equipped with water-stage recorders. The measurements in Baker and Early Counties were made by the Emory University Field 

Station, 11 miles southwest of Newton. They form part of the hydrologic 

data collected by that station in connection with its research on malaria 

control.

The observation-well program in the northern counties was begun in 

1943 when it consisted of 42 drilled and 2 dug wells. Since that time, 

for various reasons, measurements on some of these wells have been discontinued, the program in 1947 including 42 wells, which are divided among 

the counties as follows: Clayton, 5; Cobb, 16; DeKialb, 6; Pulton, 13; 

Henry, 1; Spalding, 1. The city of Atlanta and its environs occupy parts 

of four of these counties.

OCCURRENCE OP GROUND WATER

jp of Genorgia shows the State divided into three major

namely, the Paleozoic area, the crystalline area, and

The Paleozoic area, which is the northwestern part of

nallest of the three, and no observation wells have yet

it. The crystalline area is considerably larger than

Lies south and east of it. Observation wells have been

itained in six counties that lie in the crystalline- area,

Ls are in the four counties in which the city of

Irons are situated. The Coastal Plain is the largest

ses and larger than the other two combined. It covers

,000 square miles, or about 60 percent of the entire

all that part of the State lying south of the Pall

approximately through Columbus, Macon, Milledgeville,

£s the northern limit of the sedimentary rocks, which

98 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The observation wells in the crystalline area of Georgia end in 

igneous and metamorphic rocks or surflcial material weathered from them. 

Most of the observation wells in the Coastal Plain for which there are 

records end in limestones of Oligocene or upper Eocene age, which as a 

unit, is the principal artesian aquifer in southeast Georgia. Chatham 

County well 343, e shallow well 12 miles southwest of Savannah, ends in 

deposits of Recent age and therefore serves to illustrate the fluctuations 

of the water table in formations of that age in this area. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

In wells in the crystalline area of Georgia, water levels fluctuate 

from season to season with the precipitation. The water table, therefore, 

stands highest with respect to the land surface during the months of April 

and Way, when the precipitation is generally greatest, and lowest in 

December and January, when precipitation is usually least. The fluctuations 

also differ from well to well, the proximity of the well to a main drainage 

channel and its position in r&lation to the topography of the surrounding 

country determining,in large measure, the fluctuations of its water level. 

For example, DeKalb County well 40, which is near a small perennial surface stream, showed a total fluctuation in water level of only 0.23 foot, 

whereas in well 39, in the same county, which is not near a surface stream, 

the fluctuation for the year was 0.64 foot. Again, in Cobb County well 83, 

wh^-ch is in a broad valley, the fluctuation for the year was only 0-97 

foot, whereas in the same county in well 85, which is on top of a high hill, 

the total fluctuation for the year amounted to 6.53 feet, and this 

difference existed in spite of the fact that the two wells are near each 

other. Other factors responsible for differences in fluctuation from 

well to well are depth and method of construction. Dug wells seem to 

respond much more sharply to seasonal precipitation than do drilled wells.

In the Coastal Plain of Georgia, water levels in wells ending in the 

principal limestone aquifer, with the exception of Chatham, Bryan, and 

Liberty Counties, were slightly higher as compared with those recorded 

during 1946. In the Savannah area, which includes the industrial area 

northeast of the city proper, artesian-water levels averaged about 3 feet 

lower during 1947 as compared with 1946. This condition is believed to be
3EORGIA 99

a direct result of Increased pumpage during 1947 In the area of heaviest 

pumpage, that Is, the industrial area of Savannah. Accordingly, in 1947 

the total metered pumpage in the Savannah area, which is the combined 

pumpage of the Savannah municipal waterworks and the Union Bag and Vteter 

Corporation, increased by 81,386,516 gallons over that of 1946. The 

artesian-water levels in Chatham County as a whole, excluding the industrial area, showed an average decline of 0.68 foot. In Wilmington and

what lower than those

Tybee Islands the average decline during 1947 amounted to 0.5 foot, in 

the southern part of Chatham County water levels showed an average decline 

of 0.9 foot. In the northern part of the county, as far north as the 

county line, the average decline in water levels was 1.24 feet, while in 

the western part of the county the water levels declined 0.5 foot as 

compared with 1946.

In Bryan County all year-end water levels averaged 0.56 foot lower 

in 1947 as compared with 1946, this decline ranging from 0,14 to 0.98 foot 

lower in 1947. Average year-end water levels in Liberty County were somerecorded during 1946, the average decline being

0.23 foot. The decline in December water levels in Liberty County ranged

between 0.12 foot and 

1947 were practically 

1947 amounting to 0.06

1.01 feet. In Mclntosh County water levels during 

the same as in 1946, the year-end decline during 

foot as compared with 1946. Year-end water levels

in Olynn County increased in 1947 as compared with those in December 1946.

These increases ranged

the Brunswick area also, this condition prevailing in spite of an Increase 

in total pumpage. Accordingly, the total metered pumpage in Brunswick,

which is the combined pumpage of the Peoples Water Service Company

year-end water levels

from 0.10 to 0.19 foot. Water levels increased in

(Brunswick municipal waterworks) and the Brunswick Pulp and Paper Company, 

Increased by 127,750,270 gallons during 1947 as compared with 1946. All

in Camden County, including the St. Marys area, showed

increases in 1947 as compared with 1946, and these increases existed in 

spite of Increased pumpage during 1947 by the St. Marys Kraft Corporation. 

The St. Marys Kraft Corporation Increased its total-pumpage by 405,000,000 

gallons in 1947 as compared with 1946. Compared with year-end water levels 

in 1946, those recorded in 1947 showed a range from 0.70 foot to 4.0 feet

higher In Canden County. In Brantley, Charlton, Pierce, and Wayne Counties 

year-end water levels ranged from 0-19 foot to 2.30 feet higher In 1947 as 

compared with 1946.

The decrease In water levels In the Savannah area Is attributed to Increased pumpage during 1947 as compared with 1946. The slight decrease In 

water levels in Bryan, Liberty, and Mclntosh Counties as well as the increase in water levels in the remainder of Coastal Georgia, during 1947, 

are thought to be due to natural causes.

Chatham County well 343 is at the U. S. Plant Introduction Station, 

12 miles southeast of Savannah. This is a dug well, 14.5 feet in depth, 

and shows the effect of precipitation (see fig. 6). Accordingly, the 

year-end mater level recorded in this well was 4 feet higher on December 31, 

1947, than on December 31, 1946. This is thought to be due to Increased 

precipitation in 1947 23.72 inches more as compared with 1946.

In North Georgia all wells reflect water-table conditions and consequently, also reflect the effect of precipitation. Except for Cobb and 

DeKalb Counties, year-end water levels in North Georgia were uniformly 

higher. In Clayton County year-end water levels averaged 2.93 feet higher, 

while in Pulton County, water levels averaged 1.13 feet higher in December 

1947 as compared with 1946. On the other hand, most year-end water levels 

in Cobb and DeKalb Counties were lower in 1947 as compared with those recorded in December 1946. Local distribution of rainfall is thought to 

account for the conditions as outlined, even though regional precipitation 

for this part of Georgia was higher during 1947 as compared with 1946.

Spalding County well 12 18 at the Georgia State Experiment Station, 

Experiment. This is a dug well, 3O.5 feet in depth, and shows the effect 

of precipitation. Accordingly, the year-end water level recorded on this 

well was 5.94 feet higher on December 31, 194.7, than on December 31, 1946. 

This is thought to be due to increased precipitation in 1947 16.46 inches 

more as compared with 1946. This area received an increase in precipitation amounting to 16-46 inches in 1947 as compared with 1946.

'PROGRAM OP WORK

The investigation of the ground-waiter resources of the Louisville 

area was continued in 1947 in cooperation with Jefferson County and the 

city of Louisville. This investigation, which was begun in 1943 because 

of a critical shortage of ground water for industrial use, was continued 

so that records of pumpage and water leVel would be available to prevent 

a recurrence of a critical shortage.

The Investigation of the ground-wftter resources northeast of Louisville, begun in 1945 in cooperation wit}h the Louisvllls Water Company, 

was continued in 1947. Studies in this area include appraisal of the 

supplies available by induced Infiltration from the Ohio River.

The program, begun in 1945 to investigate the ground-water supplies 

of Bourbon, Fayette, Jessamine, and Sc<j>tt Counties in central Kentucky, 

was continued in 1947 In cooperation w^.th the Geological .Division of the 

Department of Mines and Minerals.

A reconnaissance survey of ground-water problems of the State, which 

was started in 1946, was continued in Cooperation with the Geological 

Division of the Department of Mlnea and Minerals.

As part of the work in the Louisville area, water-level measurements 

were made in 131 wells. Observations were made In all wells monthly and 

more frequently during river floods. Additional observations were made in 

connection with pumping tests. Automatic water-stage recorders (float 

type.) were maintained on 4 wells during the entire year and on 16 wells 

during part of the year. A total of 142 months of automatic record and 

1,295 water-level measurements were obtained during the year.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Ground-water levels In the Louisville ai«ea ag a "thole declined an 

average of 0.4 foot during 1947. In the unpumped area southwest of the 

city water levels dropped 0.3 foot, Indicating that the gain from precipitation was insufficient to replace the normal IQSB to the Ohio River, 

The average decline for the whole area appears to have been the result of 

deficient inflow from precipitation rather than from general overpumpage* 

Estimated total pumpage in the area was 35,6 million gallons a day.

Although pumpage and Inflow were approximately equal for the area as 

a unit, pumpage distribution throughout the area was unbalanced, resulting 

In rises in water levels in some areas and declines In sthars.

Figure 8 shows hydrographs for wells representative of the un* 

pumped area southwest of the city (well gO-10-2) and the heavily pumped 

downtown area (well 45-14-1). In the latter area {north of parallel 

38°13' and east of meridian 85°46 f ) overpumpage (airoondltloning) continued 

as In the past. Water levels In this area declined an average of 1,5 

feet during the year.

In the industrial section of the city, west of meridian 860 46' and 

north of parallel 38°13' (see fig. 9), water levels declined an average 

of 1.5 feet during the year, with a maxltfturf dddilne of 3,0 feet occurring 

in the central part of the area, Figure 9 shows a hydrogjp^ph of water 

levels {well 46-14-1) and a graph of average pumpage for the^ area. About 

three-fourths of the 1947 pump^g'e was from wells penetrating the limestone 

beneath the glaclal-outwash deposits. Thig area Is unfavorably located 

from the standpoint of' receiving reeMpgef the area is bounded by areas of 

heavy pumpage on the east, south, and southwest, and by rock and clay 

barriers on the north and west.

Figure 10 shows a hydrograph of water levels for well 47-12-1, 

representative of the distillery area located south of parallel 38°13 f and 

east of meridian 85°49', and & graph of average pumpage for this area, 

Water levels for the area dropped an average of 0.3 footj losses panging 

up to a foot were experienced in the northern portion of the area and small 

gains were noted In the southern portion, ;

In the "Rubber-town" area, an area about 2 miles wide and extending 3 

miles southwest along the river from the southwestern boundary of the city, 

water levels rose an average of 1*1 feet* In some parts of the area the 

rise was as much as 4 feet. Inactivity in several of the rubber and chemical plants was responsible for the rise. Figure 11 shows the hydrograph 

for well 49-13-24, on the eastern edge of the area, together with « graph 

of average pumpage for the area.

WELL.NUMBERING SYSTEM

The wells for which water-level measurements are listed in the following tables are all In Jefferson County. Records for seven wells In the 

Louisville area, located in Indiana, are published In Water-Supply Paper 

1096. The Louisville area lies between latitude 85° and 86° N, and longitude 38° and 39° W, The area has been subdivided into quadrangles formed 

by the 1-mlnute meridians and parallels. Wells In each small quadrangle 

are numbered beginning with 1, Of nearly 700 wells inventoried, only the 

ones selected for observation are shown on figure 7. Wells are de-sIgnated by composite of three numberaj the minutes of longitude of the 

quadrangle, the minutes of latitude of the quadrangle, and the number of 

the well In that quadrangle. Thus, well 45-15-2 is the second well Inventoried In the 1-mlnute quadrangle west of 85°45 f longitude and north of 

38°15' latitude. See figure 7 for well locations.

By R. R- Meyer

PROGRAM OP WORK 

i

The observation-well program in Maryland was continued during 1947. 

This program, which is a part of the general or detailed ground-water investigations in the State, was started in 1943 in cooperation with the 

Maryland Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. The water level 

in one well near 'Colesville, Montgomery County, has been measured since 

1932.

During the ground-water investigations in the various areas of the 

State observation wells are established and, upon the completion of an 

area, a few of the wells are retained as permanent observation wells. 

During 1947 a total of 1,115 tape measurements was made on the 163 wells 

under observation. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 

nine wells during part of the year and on three wells throughout the year. 

For this report the daily high and low water levels were taken from the 

recorder charts.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEI

During 1947 water-level measurements were made on 46 observation 

wells in the Baltimore industrial area. Most of these wells are near 

localities of heavy pumpage and therefore the water levels In them fluctuate 

widely with changes In the rate of pumping. For example, a daily fluctuation of approximately 16 feet has been measured in well 2S1E-16. Other 

wells at greater distances from centers of pumpage and near the river or 

bay' show the effect of tides, but the general trend of the water level 

or artesian pressure is controlled by the changes in the rate of pumpingAs only a small percentage of the pumpage in the area Is metered, 

it is not possible to determine accurately the changes in rate of discharge 

causing the observed fluctuations in the water levels. For this same 

162
MARYLAND 163

reason the total pumpage In the area must be approximated. An Inventory 

of the ptunpage in the area for 1947 was not made as it would require 

considerable time to visit each consumer and obtain his estimate of the 

water consumed. However, from a study of the changes in water levels and 

some information on the changes in pumpage in the largest ground-water 

developments, it ia possible to estimate the total pumpage in the area* 

It appears that there has been a slight increase in pumpage in the Patuxent 

and Patapsco formations with the total pumpage estimated to be 35 million 

to 40 million gallons a day. This daily pumpage varies throughout the 

year as some industries replace surface-water supplies with ground water 

during the summer months for cooling purposes.

The wide daily fluctuations of the water level make it difficult to 

determine accurately the net change in the water levels for the year. 

Therefore the following changes should be considered approximate.

Patuxent formation

Sparrows Point district: Decline of 5 feet

DundaIk-Canton district: Decline of 5 feet

Highlandtown district: Decline of 4 feet

Harbor district: No change to a

	rise of 7 feet

Pairfield-Curtis Bay No change to a

distict rise of 5 feet

Patapsco formation

Sparrows Point district: No change to a

decline of 8 feet 

DundaIk-Canton district: Decline of 3 feet

Of the 57 stations operated by the United States Weather Bureau In 

Maryland, 48 stations recorded precipitation below normal for the year. 

The nine stations reporting precipitation above normal are In seven counties. 

Other stations in five of these counties reported the precipitation below 

normal for the year. The average precipitation for the State is 41-65 

inches and the precipitation during 1947 was 38.54 Inches or 3.11 inches 

below the average for the period of record. This decrease in precipitation 

caused a alight net decline in water level in most, aquifers in southern 

and western Maryland.

The observation wells measured in southern Maryland indicate either 

no noticeable net change or a decline of from 1 to 2 feet In the water 

levels. A net decline of 4 feet was observed in one well (AA-Df 14) at
164 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Annapolis. This decline may have been due to a change in the rate of pumping at the United States Naval Academy. The decline in water levels in 

southern Maryland occurred both in water table and artesian aquifersNone of the observation wells in the Piedmont and Paleozoic areas of 

western Maryland showed a net rise in water levels for the year. No net 

changes in water levels were measured in the wells of Allegany and Washington 

Counties. The Savage River Valley well (Oar-Ag 1), in Oarrett County, showed 

a decline of approximately 0.5 foot for the year- The well at Johnsville 

(Pr-Cg 1), in Frederick County, showed no noticeable change for the year. 

However, the wells at Frederick, Thurmont, and Point of Rocks showed net 

declines of 3 to 7 feet. The water level in the Colesville well (Mont-Ff I) 

declined approximately 1 foot during the first 10 months of the year and 

rose about 1 foot in the last 2 months resulting in practically no net change 

in water level for the year.

MISSISSIPPI

By C. R. Follett 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program in Mississippi has been in operation 

since 1938 In cooperation with the Mississippi State Geological Survey. 

During 1947 water-level measurements were made In 46 wells in 19 counties.

Nine wells were equipped with recorders four with float-type waterstage recorders, and five with pressure-type water-stage recorders. The 

other 35 wells were measured with a steel tape at varying intervals of 

time from weekly to yearly,

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Of 33 observation wells, for which comparable measurements are available, the water levels in 9 wells rose from 0,3 foot to 7.0 feet from July 

1946 to July 1947; the water levels in 24 wells declined front 0.2 foot to 

8,6 feet for the same period. The riet average decline was 1.6 feet.

By M. J. Mundorff 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements, begun in 1931, was continued 

In 1947 in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Conservation 

and Development. The systematic survey of the ground-water resources of 

the State, begun In 1941,, was also continued.

Twelve observation wells were added to the program during 1947. All 

of the wells added are In the Coastal Plain and reflect the elevation of 

the piezometric surface of water in the Cretaceous, Eocene, and Miocene 

artesian aquifers. One well measured in 1946 was destroyed before any 

measurements were made on it in 1947, and one well not measured in 1946 was 

measured in 1947, making a total of 50 wells which were measured at varying 

intervals during 1947. Of the 50 wells, 4 were destroyed or rendered 

Immeasurable during the year so that at the end of 1947, 46 wells were 

being measured. Water-stage recorders were used on 8 wells, 2 wells were 

measured dally, 2 were measured twice weekly, 3 were measured weekly, 31 

were measured about monthly, and 4 were measured occasionally* 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In North Carolina the fluctuations of the water level correlate with 

precipitation, but the correlation Is usually modified by several other 

factors. Because the water table is generally closer to the surface and 

the surficlal deposits are more permeable in the Coastal Plain, water-table 

wells In that section generally respond much more quickly to rainfall than 

wells In the Piedmont.

With normal precipitation, the cycle of water-level fluctuations begins 

with a gradual rise, usually sometime between November and January, and 

generally continues to rise until April or May after which It begins to 

decline. The decline continues, interrupted only by rises of short duration

caused by summer rainstorms, until the following December or January.

204 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTflEASTERN STATES

The ground-water level rises In late winter and spring because very 

little water Is lost by evaporation or is used by vegetation, so that a 

relatively large proportion of precipitation reaches the water table. Although the amount of rainfall is larger during the summer months, the 

amount used by vegetation and evaporation is so large that generally little 

or no rainfall reaches the water table.

In 1947 the average rainfall at all U. S. Weather Bureau stations in 

the State was 51.23 inches, 1.60 inches above normal. Precipitation was 

below normal in 7 months, from February through August with the exception 

of June, and also in December, and was above normaj. in the other 5 months.

Fluctuations of the water level in most wells show a reasonably close 

correlation with rainfall, although the amount of the fluctuation for a 

given amount of rainfall varies greatly from season to season as noted above. In most wells the rise in water level occurs within a few hours to 

a few days after the rainfall, but in some wells there may be a time lag 

of several weeks to several months. The time lag in Surry County well 1 

appears to be from 4 to 6 months and, in apffle wells in artesian aquifers, 

probably is several months also.

Of the 36 wells measured at the end of both 1946 and 1947, 28 showed, 

a net gain and 11 a net loss, Recovery of the water table began unusually 

early in 1947. The majority of the wells began to recover in September 

or October and were at above normal levels at the e»d of 1947, in spite of 

a dry December, due to heavy rainfall in September, October, and November.

The following table gives the highest and lowest level reached in 

each well, the range in fluctuation, and the net gain or loss for the year.

Affected by pumping of well itself, or by nearby wells, 

b Lowest nonpumping level.

Observation walls in the Piedmont section of North Carolina are all 

dug wells and obtain their water from the subsoil formed by weathering of 

rocks such as granite, gneiss, schist, and slate. The fluctuation of water 

in the wells reflects fluctuation of the water table. The water level in 

these wells rose generally during the first 5 to 6 months of the year. Of 

the 15 wells in this section, 8 reached their highest level in May, 3 in 

June, and 1 each in January, March, July, and October. The well which 

reached its highest level in October was Surry County well 1, which appears 

to lag several months behind the time at which recharge enters the subsoil. 

The water level declined in most wells from June until October, at which 

time, because of heavy rainfall, most wells began an unusually early fall 

recovery.
206 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Wells in the Coastal Plain include both shallow dug wells in which 

the water level is a part of the water table, and deeper wells entering 

artesian aquifers, the water levels of which are points on the piezometric 

surface. The shallow wells usually respond quickly to precipitation, 

generally showing a rise after every rainfall of consequence. The wells 

in artesian aquifers, being some distance from the areas of recharge, 

generally do not Show a correlation with individual rainfalls, but do show 

a seasonal trend.

Water levels in most of the shallow wells of the Coastal Plain rose 

during the first half of January and declined during the last half of'the 

month, the entire month of February and the first week in March. The 

water level then rose considerably in most wells and remained at relatively high levels during most of April,. Water levels declined very strongly 

during May and June, generally rose during July, and declined during 

August. In nearly all wells the water levels rose strongly during September. 

Prom September to the end of the year the water levels in most of these 

wells were characterized by rapid rises caused by heavy rainstorms and not 

quite so rapid declines after cessation of the rain, with a general upward 

trend in the water-table fluctuations from September to the end of the year.

Of 13 wells ending in artesian aquifers (disregarding those observation 

wells which were affected by pumping of the wells themselves), 8 ranged 

less than 1 foot in total fluctuation during the year. The other five, 

showing a total range of about 1.50 to 7.50 feet, either are very close to 

areas of recharge or more affected by pumping of nearby wells.

Most of the artesian wells reached their highest levels for the year 

during January, late spring, November, or December. Most of them reached 

their lowest levels during August and September.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program was begun in 1946 in South Carolina as 

a part of the cooperative 'program conducted in cooperation with the South 

Carolina Research, Planning and Development Board, and was continued'in 

1947.

An observation-well program in the Tiger River area (see Water-Supply 

Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 907, 937, 945, and 987) was begun in 1932 

in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, U. S- Dept. of Agriculture. At that time observations were made in 28 wells in the Tiger River 

area. By 1942 the Tiger River wells had been reduced to three, the others 

having gone dry or caved in. The measurements on these three wells were 

discontinued in 1942. Measurements were resumed on two of these wells in 

1946 but had to be discontinued in 1947 due to either the well drying up 

or becoming ineffective as an observation well.

In 1942 a shallow bored well, in the Pjoinsett State Park grounds in 

Sumter County, was selected for the purpose of determining the fluctuation 

of the water table in that area. Measurements were resumed on this well 

in 1946 and have been continued periodically since thenFLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The State is divided almost exclusively into two geologic provinces 

the Piedmont, or crystalline area, and the Coastal Plain province, consisting of unconsolidated sands, clays, and marls. A small area in the extreme 

northwestern edge of the State lies within the Blue Ridge province. 

Almost all of the 'present observation wells are in the Coastal Plain regionWells in the Piedmont derive their water either from the decomposed 

mantle of the crystalline rocks or from cracks, crevices, joints and fault 

surfaces in the hard rock. Water-table conditions prevail throughout almost the entire area and recharge to the ground-water reservoirs is from

local rainfall. Fluctuations of the water table in the Piedmont are 

affected by various factors such as topographic location of the well with 

respect to surface drainage, lithology of the aquifer, evaporation 

and runoff and precipitation. But it is in this area that the closest 

correlation can be found between the change in ground-water levels with 

the cumulative departures from normal precipitation. The normal precipitation over the entire State is highest during June, July, and August with 

moderately high amounts in February and March. The ground-water levels do 

not fluctuate exactly in the same manner because of the reasons named above 

and because of the fact that during the summer months, evaporation and 

withdrawals from storage are much greater than in other seasons of the 

year. Statistics for the climatological data are divided between an 

eastern and western section of the State. Roughly, this is correlative 

of the Piedmont with the Coastal Plain section. In the western division, 

or Piedmont, the normal precipitation means are higher in the winter months 

and lower in the summer months than those of the eastern division, or 

Coastal Plain section. Thus, the precipitation in the western division 

more nearly approaches a mean than does that in the eastern division.

Wells in the Coastal Plain section utilize the sands, gravels, and 

limestones of Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments as aquifers. All 

the deeper wells are artesian with the exception of those in the recharge 

areas. Fluctuations in the piezometric surfaces and water levels of wells 

In the Coastal Plain are of a much smaller magnitude than those of wells 

in the Piedmont. There is no close correlation of water levels with 

precipitation except on a very general or long-time basis. The increase in 

storage due to increased precipitation is reflected only after considerable 

time lags.

The average annual precipitation over the entire State for 1947 was 

55.30 inches, an excess of 7.57 Inches or about 16 percent above normal. 

November had the heaviest monthly rainfall and was also the wettest November on record since 1887. The driest month was February and this was 

also the driest February since 1887 when records were first begun. The 

average snowfall was 0.9 inch, or 1.4 inches below normal.
226 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The fluctuation of the water levels In water-table wella la thus 

mostly the result of precipitation, evaporation, discharge, and runoff. 

In the summer and fall the evaporation Is at a maximum while the runoff 

Is at a much lower degree than In the winter and spring when the runoff 

is higher and the evaporation Is lower. But the net result Is a lowering 

of the water table during the summer and fall seasons due to the fact that 

the evaporation Is of such higher magnitude than the decrease in runoff 

thereby effecting a decrease in storage. Of course this represents the 

general condition of fluctuations of water levels and It has many exceptions, particularly where the effect of topographic location and composition and permeability of the aquifers have pronounced effects on the 

movement of ground water.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements In wells in Memphis and in 

Shelby County, which is being carried on as a part of the investigation of 

the ground-water resources of the Memphis area, was continued in 1947 in 

cooperation with the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division.

During the year water-level measurements were made periodically in 

46 wells. There were 1,239 tape measurements made in 31 of the wells. 

For the remaining 15 wells, which were equipped with water-stage recorders, 

93 tape measurements and 5,010 lowest daily water levels as determined from 

the recorder charts were tabulated. A total of 6,342 measurements is included in this report. Two observation wells were added to the program 

and measurements in three observation wells were discontinued.

PUMPAGE

The average daily quantity of water pumped during the year from the 

so-called "500-foot" sand is estimated to be about 90 million gallons, 

about 5 million gallons a day more than the average daily withdrawals in 

1946. The average daily pumpage from the "1,400-foot" sand is estimated to 

be about 10 million gallons, about 1 million gallons a day more than the 

average daily pumpage in 1946.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In general, the water levels in wells-screened in the "SCO-foot" and 

"1,400-foot" sands declined during 1947 due to increased pumpage. Water 

levels in observation wells screened in the "500-foot" sand ranged from 

1.83 feet higher to 9.65 feet lower than the lowest levels during 1946. 

The average lowering over the area, based upon measurements made in 32 

observation wells, was about 3 feet. In only three observation wells did 

the measurements show no decline below the lows of 1946.

232 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Water levels In the two observation wella screened In the "1,400-foot" 

sand reached low points which were more than 4 feet below the lows of 1946.

Figure 15 shows the hydrographs of water-level fluctuations In three 

wella screened In the "500-foot" sand. The water levels In.-well 79:1-3, 

east of Memphis, and well 79:1-1, north of Memphis, probably reflect the 

effect of all the pumping In the area from the "SCO-foot" sand and probably 

Indicate the true trend of the water levels. (See fig. 15.) The upward 

trend, beginning the latter part of 1944, has ceased and the trend of the 

water levels Is again downward.

Well 79t7-17 Is In the Parkway well field of the Memphis Light, Gas 

and Water Division, As might be expected, the yearly range In the water 

level In an active well field Is extremely large. The water level in this 

well reached a lower point during 1947 than at any other time during the 

period of record. The previous low occurred during 1943 when the average 

daily withdrawals within the area were estimated to be about 100 million 

gallons. However, of this amount only about 75 to 80 million gallons of 

water was being pumped daily within the city. The remaining 20 to 25 

million gallons was-being withdrawn in an area near Millington, about 15 

miles northeast of Memphis, This amount would have little effect upon the 

water level in well 79:7-17. During 1947 the major part of the average 

dally pumpage of about 90 million gallons was being withdrawn from within 

the city and the Immediate vicinity. An estimated average of only 2 to 3 

million gallons of water a day was being pumped near Millington. The increase in the withdrawals within the city probably accounts for the lower 

water level in well 79j7-17 during 1947 than at any previous time, r

VIRGINIA

IHTjRQDPCTION

The two programs of water-level measurements, begun In .Tune 19S8 in 

cooperation with the Virginia Geological Survey, were continued In 1947. 

fhe wells Included In one of these programs are in the northern part of 

the State and those included in the other are In the southeastern part of 

the State. The two programs are discussed separately in this report.

Th* long-range program, a systematic study of the ground-water resources of the State, was carried forward.

MORTHEBH VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart 

Program of work

All of the six observation wells In northern Virginia are in Arlington 

and Fairfax Counties, In the general vicinity of Washington, D. C. An 

automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on the Bacon well and measurements by the wetted-tape method were made weekly in the other wells. A 

total of about 300 Individual measurements of water level was made during 

1947 by the wetted-tape method.

In addition to the six observation wells maintained in northern 

Virginia there are also two recording rain gages maintained In the area 

near Fairfax near the headwaters of Difficult Run.i/ TSiese were also serviced weekly and the charts were mailed to the' U. S- Weather Bureau office

2/ 

at Albany, H. Y., for publication.

Fluctuations of water level

Inaesuch as the observation wells In the northern part of Virginia 

are shallow wells and are underlain by crystalline rocks their water levels 

are greatly affected by precipitation. IHie precipitation and departure 

from normal at Washington, D. C,, in 1947, which are representative of ttoe

1.77 inches below normal in 1947 in contrast to the 7.42 inches belownormal precipitation recorded in 1946. This increase in precipitation, although not a return to normal, is reflected in a small net rise in water 

levels in most of the wells in the northern Virginia area.

The following table has been compiled from data for 1947 on the six 

wells in northern Virginia. It shows the water for each well in early 

January and late December, the highest and lowest levels during the year, 

the range in level, and the net change for the year.

As indicated by this summary the greatest rise in water level occurred 

in the Bacon well, near Fairfax, where the water level was 0.99 foot higher at the end of the year than at the beginning. The greatest range in 

water-level fluctuation occurred in the Bell well, near Tysons Crossroads, 

where the difference between the highest and lowest stages was 7.30 feet.
VIRGINIA, ARLINGTON COURTY 253

The average net rise for the four deepest wells, the Bacon, Halls Hill, 

Jefferson, and Roas wells, / was 0.035 foot, Indicating a negligible increase In ground-water storage since December 1946. With the exception of 

the Halls Hill and Ross wells, the lowest water levels recorded during 

1947 in the other four wells occurred during the period from August 17 to 

October 20. The lowest stage in the Halls Hill well occurred at the end 

of December 1947 and in the Ross well about the first of January 1947.

The highest water levels recorded during the year occurred near the 

end of July in the Halls Hill and Ross wells, during the third week of 

March in the Bacon and Jefferson wells, and during the third week of 

January and of May in the Swart and Bell wells, respectively. The staggered effect of these high water levels was due for the most part to the 

recharge which occurred as a result of the above-normal precipitation which 

fell throughout the spring and summer months, with the exception of March 

and August which had less than normal rainfall.

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA 

By Alien Sinnott 

Program of work

At the end of the year, there were five observation wells included in 

the program. Three of these wells were equipped with automatic water930249 O 51- -18
256 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1947, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

stage recorders actuated by floats. Generally the depth to water level 

was also measured by means of a weighted tape once a week. In all, 295 

measurements were made during 1947.

A report on the ground-water resources of the York-James peninsula In 

Virginia was virtually completed by D. J. Cederstrom. Additional data 

were collected on the ground-water resources of the northern part of the 

coastal plain, In preparation for another report, by the present writer, 

covering this area. A report on the geology and ground-water resources of 

the coastal plain In southeastern Virginia was prepared by D. J. Cederstrom, 

and Is to be published as Bulletin 63 of the Virginia Geological Survey.

Fluctuations of water level 

Chesterfield County (Petersburg area)

Measurements were continued on the Pllcher well near Petersburg, 

Chesterfield County well 36, During the winter months the water level 

rose gradually to a high of 14.74 feet below land-surface datum on March 

25, followed by a gradual decline of over 2 feet until June 17, when the 

level waa 16.08 feet below land surface. After a slight rise during July, 

there was a gradual decline until measurements were Interrupted on September 

15, when the stage was 16.71 feet below land surface.

Rainfall for the year at Richmond waa 2.82 Inches below normal. The 

heaviest rainfall occurred In September and November, when 3.78 and 2.96 

Inches, respectively, above normal was recorded. Apparently the September 

rains occurred too late to be reflected In the water levels In the Pllcher 

well before measurements were Interrupted. Correlation of water levels 

with the precipitation at Richmond was not evident during the first eight 

months of 1947, possibly because rainfall In the vicinity of the well was 

somewhat different from that recorded for Richmond.

Prince George County (Hopewell area)

Measurements of water level were continued during 1947 at well 13, at 

the Old Dominion Water Corporation In Hopewell. Artificial recharge, In 

order to store cold water underground for reuse during the warm summer 

months, was apparently begun at the nearby Solvay Process Company early In 

January 1947. During the first 4-J months of 1947, the water level averaged about 36 feet below land surface. Artificial recharge apparently
SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA 257

ceased about the middle of March; water levels then gradually declined 

until May 19, when summer pumping began. By mid-June the water level had 

dropped sharply to 50 feet below the surface, where It remained with only 

minor changes until pumping was discontinued in November. The water level 

rose gradually during December, but artificial recharge had apparently not 

yet begun by the end of the year.

Sussex County

Weekly measurements of water levels in the Jeb S. White well, at 

Wakefield, in Sussex County, were continued In 1947. The total fluctuation was only about 2 feet; the levels, in general, were about 1 foot below those of 1946. This decline Is attributed to heavy Industrial withdrawals at Franklin, 20 miles to the south-southeast.

Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties (Franklin area)

Measurements made In 1947 on well 161, at Franklin, Isle of Wight 

County, showed that the water levels continued a gradual decline of about 

a foot below the corresponding levels of 1946. This decline results from 

the almost continuous heavy pumping at the Chesapeake-Camp Corporation 

pulp mill In the Franklin area. Temporary shutdown of either of the two 

pumping wells at the mill results In brief recovery of the water level. 

Thus, the measurement on July 7 showed more than a 6-foot rise In water 

level compared with the previous week; by the end of July, the level had 

declined again.

Measurements at .the observation well owned by the city of Franklin 

showed that water levels were 1 to 4 feet lower In 1947 than in 1946, although at the end of December the water level had recovered sufficiently 

to equal that of 1946.

Warwick County (York-James peninsula)

Measurements were continued on Mllstead well 1, at Fort Eustis, in 

Warwick County, on the lower York-James peninsula. Water levels fluctuatedwithln narrow limits In response to variations In discharge of ground 

water at Fort Eustis. During the early part of the year, water levels 

were about the same as those for the corresponding period In 1946, but by 

March were about 2 feet higher than for that year. The levels continued 

to remain somewhat higher than those of 1946 during the remainder of the 

year, although by the end of December they were again nearly the same.

WEST VIRGINIA 

By R. L. Griggs 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in West Virginia was continued in 1947 

in cooperation with the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey 

as part of the investigation of the ground-water resources of the State. 

Periodic measurements of water levels were made in 13 wells during the year, 

and single measurements were made in several other wells. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were maintained on four wells, and measurements by the 

wetted-tape method were made periodically in nine wella- A total of 

2,096 water-level measurements are given in this report of which 315 were 

made by tape and 1,781 were taken from recorder charts. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Seven of the observation wells maintained during the year are drilled 

to artesian aquifers in bedrock, six being drilled to sandstones of 

Pennsylvanian age and one to a sandstone of Mississlpplan age. Three of 

the wells are in alluvium adjacent to the Ohio River, and three are shallow 

water-table wells. In general, fluctuations of water levels in the State 

follow a similar pattern in each of these three types of wells.

Fluctuations of water level in the bedrock wells are primarily related to the amount of pumpage from the aquifers as all of these wells are 

in areas where at least some pumpage takes place. Water-level measurements 

of some of these wells showed the effect of heavy summer pumpage, as in the 

case of wells 40-5-14, 42-4-1, and 11-3-8, and a measurement made in August 

in well 42-4-1 showed the lowest level for the period of record on this 

well. The levels in well 39-1-6A showed a net decline of approximately 

15 feet between January and December. This well penetrates the same 

aquifer as do two nearby wells which supply the town of Buffalo, and it 

appears that the safe yield of the aquifer is being exceeded. One well,

9-6-27 at Korgantown, has had a net rise of water level of close to 

260
WEST VIRGINIA 261

35 feet since the beginning of 1946, and between January and October 1947, 

when the last measurement was made, there was a net rise of approximately 

19 feet. As the hydrographs of this well for these years do not show the 

distinct summer lows as in previous years, it appears that this rise of 

water level has been caused, in part, by a decrease in pumpage from the 

aquifer. It appears that the precipitation of the year, 6.51 inches below 

normal, had no serious effects on the bedrock wells.

In the alluvium wells, along the Ohio River, water levels are related 

primarily to the stage of the adjacent river, and as in the case of the 

two observation wells at Parkersburg, to the amount of nearby pumpage 'from 

the alluvium. Toward the end of the year wells 27-3-20 and 27-3-22, at 

Parkersburg, had water levels that were lower than those of former years. 

In part, this was probably due to low river stages in the spring of the 

year, when the alluvium receives important recharge, and in part, to a 

different distribution of pumped wells in the well field. Well 50-1-5A, 

at Kenova, indicated that water levels in its vicinity were below normal 

during the year, largely due to low river stages during the early part of 

the yearWell 40-3-1, a shallow water-table well at Nitro, reflected the 

precipitation of the year. Its water level was at a record high in 

January when the monthly precipitation was above normal, and toward the 

end of the year, when precipitation was below normal, its water level 

dropped to low stages.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

Observation wells in West Virginia have been assigned segmented 

numbers in which the first segment indicates the location of the well by 

county, the second segment indicates the location by magisterial district 

within the county, and the third segment is the identifying number assigned to an individual well within the magisterial district. In keeping 

with this system, the counties are numbered consecutively in a general 

southward direction, beginning with Hancock County at the northern tip 

of the State. The magisterial districts within each county have been 

numbered consecutively according to the same plan. Thus, in the segmented 

number 9-6-27 that is assigned to a well in Morgantown, 9 represents 

Monongalia County, 6 represents Morgan district, and 27 represents a 

well in that district.
