WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES

IN OBSERVATION WELLS IN THE UNITED STATES

IN 1954

Part 1. NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

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

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

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

Since 1940, records have been published in six annual voluir.es, covering the northeastern, southeastern, north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of the country. 

Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. The following table gives the numbers of WaterSupply Papers from 1940 through 1954.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, NORTHEASTERN 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 before the first entry in each 

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

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

by the United States Weather Bureau.

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Connecticut was continued in 1954 in cooperation with 

the State Water Commission. The program consists of water-level measurements in heavily 

pumped areas at Waterbury and New Haven in connection with areal investigations of ground-water 

resources and in a statewide network of observation wells which provide data on changes in 

storage in principal ground-water reservoirs. In 1954. water-level measurements were made in 

33 wells: 7 in the Waterbury-Naugatuck area, 11 in New Haven, and 15 in the statewide network. 

Figure 2 shows the location of the statewide observation wells and also wells in the WaterburyNaugatuck area. Figure 3 shows the location of the observation wells in New Haven.

Precipitation

Precipitation in Connecticut averaged 49. 45 inches in 1954, 4. 59 inches less than that 

in 1953, but 3. 78 inches above normal. During August, September, November, and December, 

precipitation was above normal by an inch or more.

Pumpage

The total ground-water pumpage in Connecticut in 1954, as estimated on the basis of 

figures obtained from the State Department of Health, U. S. Public Health Service, industrial 

concerns, municipalities, and private well owners, is about 80 mgd (million gallons per day). 

The average use for various purposes during the year is estimated as follows: industrial 

(excluding water from municipal supplies) 40 mgd; municipal 12 mgd; rural (domestic and stock 

but excluding irrigation) 26 mgd; irrigation 2 mgd.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in shallow aquifers in Connecticut respond to variations in precipitation and 

evapotranspiration and, in some areas, to heavy pumping. In general, the yearly fluctuations are 

more or less cyclical: water levels rise principally during the nongrowing season,when losses 

by evaporation and transpiration are low,and decline during the growing season,when such losses 

are high. The yearly peak levels are reached usually in April or May but occasionally as late as 

June or July; the yearly low levels occur typically in November. In wells in stratified sand and 

gravel of glacial origin, water levels show a smaller range in fluctuation than that observed in 

wells in unstratified glacial drift, or till, as indicated by hydrographs in figure 4.1 Wells PI 1 at 

Plainfield and NHn 183 at New Haven are open to stratified sand and gravel; the range in waterlevel fluctuations is usually less than 4 feet in a year. Well Wb 176 at Waterbury is open to till; 

it shows an average yearly range in water-level fluctuation of about 10 feet. Fluctuations of 

ground-water levels in Connecticut during 1954 varied from the normal water-level trend because 

of a somewhat unusual precipitation pattern. Because of below-normal precipitation in January 

and February, water levels receded from normal stages to stages considerably below those of 

February 1953. Subsequent normal precipitation caused a rise in water levels through early May 

when, in general, the yearly high stages were reached. However, the rises were insufficient to 

offset the earlier deficiency, for month-end stages in May were below normal. A marked deficiency in rainfall in June and July and the usual increased water demands by growing vegetation 

reduced replenishment to underground reservoirs appreciably, so that by the end of July water 

levels were second or third lowest on record for the month. However, the passage of two tropical 

hurricanes across sections of Connecticut in late August and early September altered the waterlevel trend. Heavy rains accompanying the two hurricanes and frequent showers during the first 

3 weeks in September reversed the recession in water levels in all observation wells. By the end 

of September, levels were above normal in most wells and record high for the month in many 

wells. The year ended with water levels generally above normal and, in many cases, record high 

for December. There was,on the whole, a gain in ground-water storage in Connecticut in 1954.

6 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, NORTHEASTERN STATES
CONNECTICUT, CITY OF NEW HAVEN

In the pumped areas of New Haven and Waterbury, the seasonal trend of the water table 

results from variations in the rate and distribution of pumping and from variations in the amount 

and rate of precipitation and evapotranspiration. In the downtown area of New Haven, where 

pumping is for air-conditioning and cold-storage purposes, the decline in the water table in wells 

NHn 108 and NHn 110 during the summer of 1954 was more noticeable than in the statewide observation wells; it reflected the seasonal increase in withdrawals. Correspondingly, the rise in 

level after the end of the pumping season was rapid. The water table in the industrial area of 

New Haven (wells NHn 131, NHn 138, NHn 178, and NHn 235) reached a high stage in May as in 

other shallow observation wells in Connecticut; but a second and higher stage was observed in 

July during the vacation period at several large industrial plants,when the total ground-water 

withdrawal was reduced appreciably.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered consecutively within each township in Connecticut. The townships are 

designated by abbreviations derived from the town names. For example, well Bt 1 is in the town 

of Bethel and was the first well inventoried in that township.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

plane of reference. Water levels in the city of New Haven are referred to mean sea level.

DELAWARE

By O. J. Coskery and D. H. Boggess

Scope of Water-Level Program

In 1943 the U. S. Geological Survey, cooperating with the towns of Lewes and Rehoboth, 

began a study of salt-water encroachment into the fresh-water aquifers of that area. After the 

development of a new well field inland by the city of Lewes in 1945, the program was limited to 

determining fluctuations in the water surface until 1950, in which year the cooperation was 

concluded. Observation of well Ni 3 was continued on the statewide program begun in December 

1949. The State of Delaware, through the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of 

Delaware and the Highway Department, cooperated with the U. S. Geological Survey for the purpose of making a preliminary study of ground-water resources within the State through June 30, 

1951. Beginning July 1, 1951, the Delaware Geological Survey became the cooperating State 

agency and cooperation between that agency and the U. S. Geological Survey has continued through 

1954.

During 1954, 444 individual water-level measurements were made in the 21 wells listed in 

this report. Recording gages were maintained on 5 wells in municipal well fields at New Castle, 

Newark, and Lewes. A recording gage was also maintained at the Governor Bacon Health Center 

at Delaware City. Figure 5 shows the location of observation wells in Delaware.

A report entitled "Geology and ground-water resources of the Newark area, Delaware, " by 

Johan J. Groot and William C. Rasmussen, was published by the Delaware Geological Survey in 

April 1954 as Bulletin No. 2. This report describes the geological conditions and the occurrence, 

quantity, and quality of the available ground-water supply in the Newark area. In August 1954, a 

report entitled "Water levels and artesian pressures in Delaware, 1952, " by I. W. Marine, was 

released by the Delaware Geological Survey as Water-Level Report No. 1.

Precipitation

The year was one of below-normal precipitation in Delaware, having a total of 37. 59 inches, 

6. 39 inches below the average, for 14 stations in the State. From the beginning of 1954, drought 

conditions persisted through October with only two periods of slight relief. Less than 1 inch of 

rainfall in June, nearly 3 inches below normal for that month, and a continued deviation below 

normaloi 1.5 inches in July marked the peak of the dry season. Precipitation, slightly above 

normal during the months of August and September, effected little change in the declining water 

levels. The November precipitation, more than an inch above normal, reversed the downward 

trend of water levels and started a sharp rise upward, which continued through the remainder of 

1954.

Pumpage

The average pumpage from the municipal well field at New Castle was 474,450 gpd (gallons 

per day) during 1954. From the Newark well field the average daily pumpage was 664,700 gallons. 

This was augmented by an average of 163, 875 gpd from a private water company using a surfacewater source. The decline in pumpage from the ground-water reservoir and the subsequent 

increase in surface-water use was due to pump failure on one of the production wells in June. An 

additional 7, 272,900 gallons was withdrawn from the aquifer at Newark during August and September 

when a canning company was in operation. Pumpage from the new well field at Lewes averaged 

390, 700 gpd during 1954. At the Governor Bacon Health Center the average daily pumpage during 

1954 was 92,100 gpd.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

During 1954 the average water level of 13 water-table wells (fig. 6) fluctuated in response 

to recharge by ground-soaking precipitation and to drought through the withdrawal of water by 

plants. As indicated in figure 6, the ground-water reservoirs showed an excess of discharge 

over recharge from the end of January to the end of October, at which time record-low water 

levels were observed in a number of observation wells throughout the State. Although January was 

a month of below-normal precipitation, the ground-water reservoirs were still registering recharge from precipitation occurring at the end of 1953. The downward trend of water levels was

interrupted once at the end of March by a small rise of 0. 09 foot after a short period of normal 

precipitation. It was interrupted a second time during September after 2 months of slightly abovenormal rainfall brought about an average residual rise of 0.27 foot in the water table at month 

end. At the end of August,the average water level reached its lowest point, 9.00 feet below land 

surface. This low was repeated at the end of October. This long decline in the water level 

resulted from the normal transpiration of plants, augmented by base runoff to streams and evaporation from marshy areas during a prolonged period of below-normal precipitation. The depletion 

cycle ended in November, when above-normal precipitation enabled the water level to begin recovery. The average water level for 1954 was 7. 90 feet below land surface, 1.17 feet lower than 

the average for 1953. No annual trend of the average water level has yet been observed.

Water levels in the vicinity of well fields at Delaware City, Newark, New Castle, and Lewes 

responded to pumping from municipal wells. At Newark, increasing requirements of a growing 

population and prolonged drought conditions united to bring water levels in observation well Ca 3 

in the city well field to a record low. Cb 123 at the University Farm, on the outer rim of this 

cone of depression, was similarly affected. At New Castle, pumping was confined to the shallow 

water-table aquifer, which reflected a slight downward trend in water levels in observation 

well Cd 2. Cd 46, an observation well in New Castle in the artesian aquifer, reflects seasonal 

recharge in the winter and spring, owing to nearness to the intake area, approximately 2 to 3 

miles away. The downward trend during the 2 years of record may be attributed to industrial and 

municipal pumping of the 3 large well fields within a radius of 2. 5 miles. The nearby production 

well of the city of New Castle, drilled to the same depth, was used very little during this period. 

At Delaware City, water levels in EC 11 at the Bacon Health Center showed a declining trend of 

3. 2 feet in 1952, 1953, and 1954 for an average of more than a foot a year. Water levels in 

well Ni 3 at Lewes continued their gentle downward trend of 1. 7 feet during a period of 5 years of 

record. Well-field tests at Lewes in December indicated high coefficients of transmissibility and 

storage, which, in view of the generally sustained water levels during a period of increased 

pumping, suggest a high potential yield for this field.

Recording-gage charts were voluntarily changed weekly by Oliver Henderson at New Castle; 

Mrs. Thalia Fisher and Mr. Bayard Coulter at Lewes; and Carl Jorgenson at the Governor Bacon 

Health Center.

Well-Numbering System

The State of Delaware is divided into 5-minute quadrangles of latitude and longitude as 

shown in figure 5. The quadrangles are lettered north to south with uppercase letters and west 

to east with lowercase letters. A quadrangle is indicated by two letters with the capital letter 

being given first. Within the quadrangles the wells are numbered in the order they were scheduled. 

Each well number consists of a two-letter symbol and a number assigned to the well.

INDIANA

By Porter E. Ward

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1954 in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources. The water-level program, which was begun 

in 1935 as a part of the statewide study of the ground-water resources of Indiana, is used primarily to evaluate and establish water-level trends and changes of storage in Indiana's ground-water 

reservoirs. In 1954,'water-level measurements were received from a statewide network of 146 

observation wells. Of these, 32 were equipped with continuous recording gages; 2 were measured 

daily; 3 bimonthly; 2 monthly; and the remaining 107 were measured weekly. Although conclusions are based upon records from all of the observation wells, only the measurements from 

32 selected wells appear in this report. The locations of the wells are shown in figure 7.

A report entitled "Water resources of the Indianapolis area, Indiana" was completed in 

1954. Ground-water investigations were in progress in Adams and Tippecanoe Counties and in 

nine county areas in southeast and northwest Indiana.

Precipitation and Temperature

Statewide climatic conditions were characteristically mild and dry during most of 1954. 

Temperatures were 7.4 degrees below normal for March and 4. 5 degrees below normal for May. 

Temperatures in the remaining months ranged from 9.2 degrees a.bove normal for February to 

normal for August. Precipitation for the State as reported by the United States Weather Bureau 

totaled 37.82 inches in 1954, a deficiency of 1. 39 inches. The southern division received belownormal precipitation for 9 months. The accumulated departure from average totaled 8.43 inches 

below normal for the year in this division. In the central division, precipitation was deficient for 

8 months. The accumulated departure from average was 5. 03 inches below normal. Precipitation 

was below normal for 5 months in the northern division, but excessive rainfall in October resulted in an accumulated departure from average of 7.64 inches above normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

A general downward trend of water levels that began about 1.950 throughout most of Indiana 

continued during 1954. This trend is a reflection of the below-normal precipitation during 1952, 

1953, and 1954. At the beginning of 1954,water levels were below average over most of the State. 

Near-normal precipitation in the early part of the year started slight upward trends in some wells. 

As late as March, seasonal recoveries lagged appreciably in both magnitude and time. Scattered 

precipitation was insufficient and water levels remained low during the spring and summer months. 

At the end of September and continuing into October, unusually hea.vy rains fell over much of the 

northern part of the State, and scattered precipitation occurred in other parts, especially in the 

central and north-central parts. By the end of 1954 many wells in the northern division recovered 

to near average. Water levels in the central division remained below average. Water levels in 

the southern division were below average, several wells recording no recovery. During 1954 

new low water levels were recorded in 43 percent or 63 out of 146 observation wells in the State 

network, as follows: in the northern division, 38 percent or 18 of 47 wells; in the central division, 

40 percent or 24 of 60 wells; and in the southern division, 54 percent or 21 of 39 wells.

Figure 8 graphically shows the fluctuation of water levels in three representative shallow 

wells in the State. The water levels are affected only by natural conditions. Well Steuben 1 is in 

the northern division, Montgomery 1 is in the central division, and Clark 1 is in the southern 

division.

Figure 9 shows the fluctuation of water levels in two wells in the downtown Indianapolis area. 

Although a general downward trend continued, the levels are higher than they were prior to 1950. 

The continued downward trend is probably due to a deficiency of precipitation, whereas the low 

levels recorded before 1950 were greatly influenced by excessive pumping.

INDIANA, BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY 27

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells are designated by a letter symbol corresponding to the county name in 

which the well is situated, followed by a number for successive wells. For example, Ma 10 is 

observation well 10 in Marion County.

Well Descriptions and Water - Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

above the plane of reference.

MAINE

By John A. Baker

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Maine, begun in 1939, was continued in 1954. Water 

levels were measured weekly in five wells. Figure 10 shows the location of observation wells in 

Maine.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for Maine in 1954, according to records of the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 57. 80 inches, 17.19 inches above normal and 9. 48 inches more than in 1953. The 

wettest month, September, had 8. 51 inches, more than half of which accompanied hurricane 

"Edna" on September 11. The driest month, January, had 3.06 inches, about 2.8 inches of which 

fell as snow. Precipitation was above normal in all months except January and March.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in January declined in all wells. In two wells, the lowest levels of the year 

were recorded, owing to below-normal precipitation, which fell largely as snow on frozen ground. 

Rising water levels from February through April resulted from melting snow and above-normal 

precipitation. Peak levels for the year in four wells were recorded in April. The highest water 

level of record (0. 66) in well Ar 2 was equaled on April 18. From May through August water 

levels declined as evapotranspiration losses increased, although precipitation was above normal. 

Water levels rose sharply in mid-September, and the peak for the year was recorded in well Y 1 

at Cornish as a result of the torrential rainfall accompanying hurricane "Edna" on September 11. 

Water levels remained high and nearly stationary from October through December, owing to 

above-normal precipitation and alternate freezing and thawing.

Well-Numbering System

Each well in Maine is designated by a letter or combination of letters indicating the county 

in which the well is located, followed by a numeral assigned within each county in the order the 

well was inventoried.

MASSACHUSETTS

By John A. Baker

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Massachusetts was continued during 1954 in cooperation 

with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. Measurements of water levels were made 

in 41 observation wells, 2 of which were equipped with recording gages. Figures 11 and 12 show 

location of observation wells in Massachusetts.

Precipitation

The average precipitation for Massachusetts in 1954, as determined by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau, was 53.08 inches. This was 9. 87 inches above normal and 0. 40 inch below the 1953 

average. The average monthly precipitation was above normal in April, May, August, September, 

November, and December, and below normal in January, February, March, June, July, and 

October. The wettest month of the year, September, had 7.86 inches, 4.15 inches above normal. 

More than half of the total rainfall in September accompanied hurricane "Edna" on September 11. 

Hurricane "Carol," which had visited the area 11 days earlier on August 31, brought higher winds 

but much less rainfall than hurricane "Edna. " July, the driest month of the year, had 2. 57 inches, 

0.92 inch below normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

All the observation wells in Massachusetts draw water from glacial drift, except Wilmington 

58 which draws water from bedrock. A comparison of water-level measurements shows that fluctuations of the water level in the bedrock well correlate with fluctuations of the water levels in the 

drift wells. Water levels in wells not influenced by pumping fluctuate seasonally in response to 

natural recharge and discharge. Water-level fluctuations also vary from well to well, according 

to the character of the drift, the topographic location, and location in relation to pumping wells.

Water levels were high at the beginning of 1954, owing to above-normal precipitation during 

October, November, and December, 1953. During January the ground was frozen,and precipitation 

was below normal; therefore,water levels declined slightly. Water levels rose gradually from 

February through May; melting snow in February and March and above-normal precipitation in 

April and May provided water for recharge. During this period.minor fluctuations resulted from 

alternate freezing and thawing and frequent spring rains. Peak water levels for the year were 

recorded in most wells in May. The water level in Sterling 1 rose to a record high (3.22, May 28).

The normal seasonal decline of water levels began in May when evapotranspiration losses 

increased. The decline continued through June and July, owing to the combined effect of evapotranspiration losses and below-normal precipitation. The lows of the year in most wells were 

recorded in August. At the end of August, the downward trend was reversed in response to abovenormal rainfall during the month and the heavy rainfall accompanying hurricane "Carol." Water 

levels in eastern and central Massachusetts rose sharply in September because of the torrential 

rainfall that accompanied "Edna" on September 11. Water levels continued to rise during the 

remainder of September, owing to smaller evapotranspiration losses, but declined in October as 

a result of deficient precipitation. Precipitation and temperatures were above normal in November 

and December. Water levels in Reading 3, Wilmington 56, and Woburn 4 in northeastern Massachusetts rose to record-high stages on December 30 as a result.

Well-Numbering System

Each well in Massachusetts is designated by the name of the town or city in which the well 

is located, followed by a numeral assigned within each town or city in the order in which the well 

was inventoried.

MICHIGAN

By P. R. Giroux, W. T. Stuart, and J. G. Rulison

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-yell program in Michigan was continued in 1954 in cooperation with the 

State Water Resources Commission and the Geological Survey Division of the §Ut;e Department of 

Conservation. A network of observation wells was maintained to provide basic data on changes 

in storage of principal ground-water reservoirs. Measurements of ground-water levels were made 

in about 240 observation wells, 16 of which were equipped with recording gages. Records of 147 

of the wells measured are published in this report. The data were selected for publication on the 

basis of best representation in terms of areal coverage, usefulness, and length of record. Waterlevel records omitted will be published in project or special reports from time to time. Figure 13 

shows the location of wells for which records are published in this report.

Observations of ground-water temperature were continued in 1954. Sampling of ground and 

surface water for chemica^ analysis, to determine the distribution and trends in water quality 

and to study correlation between ground and surface waters, was continued. Analyses were made 

by the State Department of Health and by the U. S. Geological Survey.

Precipitation

Statewide precipitation averaged 35.37 inches for 1954, or 4.68 inches above normal. The 

total precipitation was above normal in each of the 10 climatological divisions designated by the 

U. S. Weather Bureau. The departures by divisions ranged from 1. 7 to about 9.4 inches. Statewide, however, departures for individual stations ranged from a few inches below normal to about 

15 ihcftes abovp normal. The greatest departures above average were recorded in the southwestern 

part 6f the Southern Peninsula.

Pumpage

Treri'djs of ground-water withdrawals by individual municipalities are discussed under appropriate irea Readings: The withdrawal of ground waters by municipalities was slightly less than 

that reported in 1953, when most communities reported new record highs of pumping. The city of 

Alma, wliich reported a 6-percent increase in pumping over 1953, was an exception to the general 

trend. Much of the decrease in pumping for municipal water supply occurred when temperatures 

were below average during «uly, August, and September. The temperature in June was 2.6° above 

normal; but the frequent intense rains which fell during the month, the second wettest June of 

record; reduced the overall demands on public water supplies. A few communities curtailed use 

of ground water during the summer months because of inadequate pumping facilities, limited 

storage capacity, or a combination of these factors.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Summary. --In the southern half of the Southern Peninsula; ground-water levels during the. 

first quarter of 1954 were generally low because of adverse conditions of temperature and precipitation during 1952 and 1953. Although precipitation was above normal in February, March, and 

April, much of the benefit derived was offset by an extremely dry spell in May. A storm on the 

last day of May and frequent heavy rains in June provided appreciable recharge but failed to prevent ground-water levels from reaching new lb#s of record during July and August when precipitation was deficient. Most of the precipitation in June fell in the form of intense rains of short 

duration with the, result that a large part of the water was discharged as surface runoff and, 

accordingly, recharge to the ground-water reservoirs was limited. Cool weather in September 

combined wilh frequent rains over most of the State halted the decline in ground-water levels. In 

addition, a general frost on Septemoer 23 stopped growth of much vegetation, thus reducing losses 

o'f ground water by evapotrans pi ration. In October, precipitation was well above normal and water 

levels rose rapidly. By the end of 1954, ground-water levels were at or near the average levels 

for the period of record.

In the northern hak of the Southern Peninsula, abundant recharge in February, April, June, 

and July caused water levels to climb to new highs of record during the summer. Another monthly

h^gh of reeoFd waa recorded in the observation well at Roscommon in October after 2 months of 

above-average precipitation. Above-average stages prevailed during November and December.

In the Menominee River basin of the Northern Peninsula, considerable recharge occurred 

in both April a.nd October; consequently, levels remained above average during most of the year 

and several record highs were observed. In the eastern half of the Northern Peninsula, abundant 

recharge occurred during the same months and also in September. At the end of 1954, water 

levels were at average to above-average stages.

Southern Peninsula (Northern Half)

Roscommon County. --Well RoHg 1, near Roscommon, is now being used as an index of 

trends of ground-water levels in the shallow drift aquifers of the northern half of the Southern 

Peninsula. The use of well CrGr 6 as the index well for the area has been discontinued, because 

the removal of a dam on the Au Sable River at Grayling caused uncertainty in the interpretation 

of past versus present trends of water level. Figure 14 shows the fluctuations of water level in 

well RoHg 1. Daily precipitation and the range of temperature are also shown. Record- high 

February temperatures and melting of about half of the snow cover caused water levels to rise 

sharply. Another rise of water level in early April was caused by rainfall and by the spring 

thaw. During most of May little recharge occurred because of cold, dry weather. Rainfall at the 

end qf May and intense rains in June, resulted in marked rises of water level and the highest June 

and July stages in 20 years of record. The subsequent decline continued into September when 

above-average precipitation occurred. A new high of record followed additional precipitation 

early in Qctober, End-of-the-year levels were higher than those at the end of 1953 and about half 

a foot above the average for the period of record.

Southern Peninsula (Southern Half)

Branch County, City of Coldwater. --The observation well in Coldwater, finished in the 

lacial drift, reflects the withdrawals of ground water by municipal wells tapping the drift deposTotal precipitation for the year was about 7 inches above normal as compared to 11 inches 

below normal in 1953. Water levels trended upward until May when increased pumping induced a 

decline that continued through September (July 1, 14. 20; Aug. 9, 14. 66; Sept. 27, 15. 10). In 

October, a sharp rise due to recharge from intense rains and recovery from a decrease in municipal withdrawals occurred., Year-end levels were more than 2 feet higher than those at the end 

of 1953 but slightly below the average stage of the past 5 years. Monthly pumpage records indicate 

that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged from 0. 9 mgd (million gallons per day) 

in January and December to 1. 9 mgd in July and averaged 1. 2 mgd for the year, or about 5. 4 percent less than in 1953.

Calhoun County. City of Battle Creek. --Most observation wells in Battle Creek and vicinity 

are finished in the Marshall formation but a few tap the overlying glacial drift. Most of the municipal and industrial wells tap the Marshall formation. Total precipitation for the year at Battle 

Creek was more than 7 inches above normal as compared to a deficiency of 6 inches in 1953. Considerable recharge during the winter and spring months caused water levels to rise until about 

midyear. Then, seasonal ground -water withdrawals and dry weather caused declines that continued until early October. More than 8 inches of rain fell in October, inducing a marked, rise in 

stage. Water levels in well? tapping the Marshall formation rose an average of 1. 1 feet and those 

in the drift aquifer about 1, 6 feet ip 1954, Daily averages based on monthly totals indicate that 

withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged from 4. 9 mgd in December to 9. 0 in July 

and averaged 6. i mgd for 1954. Total municipal pumpage was about 11 percent less than in 1953.

Cass County, City of Dowagiac. --The observation well in Dowagiac, finished in the glacial 

drift, is affected by municipal pumping from the drift. The level in the observation well rose 

about 2 feet during 1954 because of decreased municipal pumping and increased precipitationTotal precipitation in 1954 exceeded 52 inches, or about 15 inches above normal. Precipitation 

in October was about g inches a,bgye average, fa addition, more-than-average precipitation fell 

during the periods February through April and June through August. Temperatures were below 

normal in July and August but above average in February, Average daily withdrawal of ground 

water for municipal use was about 750, OOQ gallons during 1954, or a 40;percent decline from the 

1, 300, 000 gpd, reported in 1953. This decline was principally the result of the discontinuance of 

use of large quantities of city water py a local industry.

Clinton County, Village of Elsie, --fa Elsie, water levels in observation wells CtSS 1 and 

CtES 3 are influenced by municipal pumping from the sandstone of the. gaginaw formation and the 

glacial drift, respectively,. Annual precipitation waq about average; but water levels were 

considerably higher at the end of 1954, owing to favorable conditions for ground-water recharge 

during the winter and fall months when above-normal precipitation occurred.

Eaton County, City of Charlotte. --The observation well in Charlotte at the Waterworks 

Park and the nearby municipal wells are finished in the glacial drift. February and October recharge resulted in slightly higher water levels during the spring and fall than during the same 

periods of 1953. The water level at the end of 1954 was, about average for the. 7-year period of

record. Average municipal withdrawal of ground water during 1954 was about 620,000 gpd, or 

about 11 percent less than the 1953 average daily pumping.

City of Grand Ledge. The observation well in Grand Ledge is finished in the Saginaw formation, the aquifer tapped for the municipal supply. The decline of water level that started in June 

1952 was reversed early in 1954 by 4 inches of precipitation in the warmest February since 1888. 

The riding trend of water stage continued until late summer, when relatively dry weather occurred 

and municipal pumping increased. A net gain in water level of about a foot was observed for 1954. 

Average municipal withdrawal of ground water was about 200,000 gpd for 1954.

Genesee County, Flint metropolitan area. Water for many industries in the Flint area and 

for the supplies of Burton Township and the Beecher metropolitan district is obtained from wells 

in the Saginaw formation. The city of Flint, however, obtains its municipal water supply from the 

Flint River. The observation wells in the Flint area are finished in the glacial drift or in the 

Saginaw formation. Precipitation for 1954 was about an inch above normal. However, more than 

12 inches of precipitation fell during the period January through April, which, combined with 

unusually high temperatures in February, caused water levels to rise through early May. May 

was extremely dry, except for the last few days of the month. However, precipitation late in May 

and during June was not sufficient to reverse the decline in water levels that began early in May 

and continued until late summer when record and near lows for the period of record were observed. 

Increased withdrawals of ground water and a deficiency of about 4 inches of precipitation in the 

period July through September were the contributing factors in producing these low stages. From 

October through the end of 1954, above-normal precipitation, favorable conditions for recharge, 

and decreased pumping allowed levels to recover approximately to those observed at the end of 

1953.

Gratiot County., City of Alma. --Observation wells in this area are finished in surficial or in 

buried outwash aquifers. Municipal and industrial supplies are obtained from wells tapping the 

buried outwash aquifer. One infrequently used municipal well taps the Saginaw formation. Total 

precipitation for 1954 was almost 2 inches above normal. Year-end levels indicated a net average 

gain of about 1 foot in the shallow aquifer as compared to a 1-foot average loss in the deeper 

drift aquifer. Reported monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal 

Sttpply ranged from 1.1 mgd in March to 1. 7 mgd in August and averaged 1.4 mgd for 1954. 

Compared to 1953, this was an increase of about 6 percent, or approximately 30 million gallons.

Ingham County, Lansing metropolitan area. --Most observation, municipal, industrial, and 

domestic wells in the Lansing area are finished in the Saginaw formation, but a few tap the drift 

aquifer. This area is one of the larger users of ground water in the State. Precipitation for 1954 

was about an inch above normal. Above-average precipitation was recorded during the late winter 

and early spring and again in the fall, when conditions were favorable to ground-water recharge. 

The average temperature in February was the highest of record. In the southern part of the area, 

year-end water levels in observation wells finished in the Saginaw formation were more than a 

foot above those recorded at the end of 1953. In the northwestern part, however, water levels 

were as much as 7 feet below those in 1953. These differences in water-level trends reflected 

changing patterns of pumping throughout the area. In the northwest area, increased withdrawals 

resulted from expansion of industry and residential suburbs. Elsewhere, many residential units 

equipped with wells have been constructed beyond the areas furnished by municipal water supplies. 

Averages based on monthly totals indicated that withdrawals of ground water by Lansing, East 

Lansing, Landel metropolitan district, and Michigan State College ranged from 19.8 mgd in 

November to 24.0 mgd in June and July and averaged 21. 5 mgd for 1954. Total public-supply 

puntpage of 7,843 million gallons was 2. 5 percent, or 200 million gallons less than in 1953.

City of Mason,--The observation well in Mason, finished in the Saginaw formation underlying the glacial drift, reflects withdrawals of ground water from the Saginaw formation by industrial wells in the area. The municipal supply is derived from the glacial drift. Ground-water 

levels in the observation well were highest for 1954 during the spring months after which a decline 

continued until late September. A net gain of about a foot was recorded at the end of 1954. Averages based on monthly totals indicate that daily municipal withdrawal of ground water from the 

glacial drift was about 340,000 gallons. Total municipal pumpage was about 25 percent less than 

that reported in 1953. This decline was the result of the discontinuance of use of city water by a 

local industry.

Kalamazoo County, City of Kalamazoo. --Observation wells in this area are finished in the 

glacial drift as are municipal and industrial wells. Total precipitation for 1954 was about 37 inches, 

or about 2 inches above normal. Below-normal precipitation in 1952 and 1953 resulted in unseasonably low ground-water levels during the early part of 1954. In May city officials considered the advisability of curtailing the use of water, but the measure proved to be unnecessary as 

the summer months were comparatively cool and the seasonal demand for water was not as high 

as in previous years. In addition, water levels rose significantly in October,when nearly 

8. 5 inches of rain fell. Year-end stages were about 1.4 feet above those recorded at the end of 

1953. Averages, based on monthly totals, indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal supply ranged from 7. 4 mgd in January to 14. 3 mgd in July and averaged 9. 4 mgd for 1954. 

Total pumpage for 1954 by the city of Kalamazoo was about 5 percent, or 180 million gallons less
60 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, NORTHEASTERN STATES

than in 1953. Industrial pumpage records are not available, but the aggregate withdrawal probably 

greatly exceeds the municipal withdrawals.

Oakland County, City of Pontiac. --The observation well in Pontiac is finished in the glacial 

drift, as are the municipal wells and most industrial wells in the area. Total precipitation for 

1954 was almost 3 inches above the average because of abundant rainfall in February, March, and 

June and exceptionally heavy rains in October. Conditions favorable to ground-water recharge 

occurred during the winter and early spring months. The observation well OaPT 1, at the Walnut 

Street municipal pumping station, reflects changes in water level caused by withdrawals of ground 

water by nearby municipal wells. Water levels were at the highest stages for 1954 during the 

winter months but declined steadily from April through July, when a new low of record was observed. 

After July, levels recovered somewhat; but a net decline in stage of about 3 feet was recorded 

for 1954. Averages based on monthly totals indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal use ranged from 10. 9 mgd in January to 14. 8 mgd in July and averaged 12.6 mgd for 1954. 

Total municipal pumpage of about 4, 574 million gallons for 1954 was 2. 7 percent, or about 

124 million gallons less than in 1953.

Ottawa County, City of Holland. Observation wells in this area are finished in the glacial 

drift,as are all municipal and most industrial wells. Precipitation was about 43. 5 inches, nearly 

11 inches above the average for the period of record. Total monthly precipitation of about 

6.7 inches in June and 9. 6 inches in October greatly exceeded the averages for those months. 

Above-normal precipitation fell during the period January through April, and a slight recovery of 

ground-water levels was recorded. Very little rain fell in May until the last few days of the 

month, and August and September were drier than usual. As a result, water levels in the heavily 

pumped area declined, and new lows for the period of record were observed by late summer. The 

net loss at the end of 1954 ranged from 4 to 5 feet despite cool summer temperatures and decreased use of water. Observation wells beyond the influence of heavy pumping showed a net 

gain for 1954,ranging from 0. 5 foot to as much as 2.4 feet. Averages based on monthly totals 

indicate that withdrawals of ground water for municipal use ranged from 2. 0 mgd in March to 

3.4 mgd in August and averaged 2.6 mgd for 1954. Total municipal pumpage for 1954 was about 

56 million gallons less than in 1953, a drop of about 5.6 percent.

Northern Peninsula

Menominee River Basin. --Precipitation for the stations in the basin averaged 32. 71 inches, 

or about 2. 47 inches above the 46-year average. Precipitation was about normal for the period 

January through March, 137 percent of normal for April through June, 71 percent of normal for 

July and August, and 126 percent for the remainder of 1954. Measurements of water levels in the 

basin are made in water-table wells by the Wisconsin-Michigan Power Co. and in a few wells 

by the U. S. Geological Survey. These levels reflect changes in storage in the basin and are not 

affected by any municipal or industrial pumpage. The decline in stage which began in July 1953 

continued into March 1954, but levels remained above the average of the past 9 years. Groundwater levels rose about 3 feet during April when new monthly high stages were reached in some 

wells as a result of the melting of snow cover. Levels remained high through June but were 

followed by an average decline of about 2 feet during July and August. Intense rains in September 

resulted in recharge sufficient to cause an average rise of 1.6 feet by the end-of October. The 

usual seasonal decline occurred during November and December. Year-end levels averaged 

1.1 feet higher than those of 1953.

Chippewa County. --Well CpSp 59 near Raco is finished in glacial drift. The decline in water 

level which started in mid-1953 continued until late March 1954. Levels recovered till the end of 

June, owing to above-average precipitation in April and melting of the snow cover. Heavy precipitation in September and October caused a marked rise in water levels until mid-November as 

compared to the same period during 1952 and 1953 when declines were observed. A net gain of 

about 2 feet was recorded in the well by the end of 1954 despite a drop in water level starting in 

mid-November. Climatological data were obtained from records maintained at the nearest U. S. 

Weather Bureau station in Sault Ste. Marie.

Schoolcraft County. --Well SoGe 112 near Germfask is finished in the Richmond group, which 

is composed of shales and limestones of Ordovician age. Water levels in the observation well 

reflect changes in artesian pressure in the upper portion of the Richmond group. Precipitation at 

Germfask was slightly above normal for 1954. Rainfall was 2 to 3 inches above normal in April 

and September but was below normal during the period May through August. The observed level 

rose from November 1953 through February 1954. The lowest water levels for 1954 were recorded 

in August. By the end of 1954, the water level rose to approximately the level recorded at the 

end of 1953.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in Michigan are numbered according to the county and city or township in which they are 

situated. The first segment of the well number consists of an upper and lowercase letter indicating 

the county in which the well is situated. The second segment indicates the city or civil township. 

Uppercase letters are used for cities, villages, or towns. An uppercase letter followed by a 

lowercase letter is used for the township designation. The abbreviation W. M. P. refers to 

Wisconsin-Michigan Power Co.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

Readings between minus signs are oelow the plane of reference and those between plus signs are 

above the plane of reference.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

By Edward Bradley

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in New Hampshire was continued and expanded in 1954. In 

September 1953 an investigation of the ground-water resources of the seacoast region of 

New Hampshire was begun in cooperation with the New Hampshire State Planning and Development 

Commission. As a part of this project about 40 wells in the coastal part of the State and adjacent 

areas were measured periodically. Figure 15 shows the location of observation wells in New 

Hampshire. Weekly measurements were continued in the observation wells in Hill and New London. 

A continuous record of water-level fluctuations during 1954 in the Auburn observation well was 

obtained by means of a recording gage. Four wells were selected from the ground-water project 

in the seacoast region as cooperative observation wells and records of water-level fluctuations in 

them are included in this report. Three of these wells, Farmington 3, Lee 1, and Hampton 1, 

were measured monthly during 1954. Dover 23 was equipped with a recording gage in April 1954. 

A preliminary report on the investigation of ground-water resources in the seacoast region of 

New Hampshire was prepared during 1954.

P recipitation

During 1954 precipitation for New Hampshire as a whole was 54. 35 inches, or 14. 55 inches 

above normal, according to U. S. Weather Bureau records. At Durham, in the seacoast region, 

the total precipitation was 60.12 inches, or 20.75 inches above normal. During all months except 

January, July, and October, precipitation was above normal, and it was particularly heavy during 

May, August, September, November, and December. The precipitation at Durham in May was 

12.00 inches; the normal for May at this station is 2. 87. Two severe hurricanes swept across 

New England or parts of it during the summer. On August 31, hurricane "Carol", passing west 

of Concord in a northerly direction, brought more than 3 inches of rain to Durham. Hurricane 

"Edna" passed over Cape Cod across the Gulf of Maine about 50 miles east of the coast of New 

Hampshire on September 11. During and immediately following "Edna" more than 6 inches of 

rain fell at Durham.

Pumpage

The largest withdrawals of ground water in New Hampshire are in the seacoast region. 

Large communities in other parts of the State are supplied by surface water. Records of pumpage 

were obtained for towns and cities using ground water in the seacoast region during the investigation of ground-water resources in that area. The 1954 average daily consumption in gallons as 

reported by municipal water departments is as follows:

Dover 1,246, 340

Exeter 336,121

Farmington 161,470

Hampton 518,658

Hampton (July and August only) 1,286,630

Hampton (except July and August) 361, 515

Portsmouth 2,208, 557

Salmon Falls 58, 000

Somersworth 245,650

The large increase in average daily consumption of water in Hampton during July and August 

reflects the relatively large increase in population in coastal New Hampshire during the summer 

months.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Except in areas affected by pumping, water levels in New Hampshire fluctuate in response 

to natural recharge and discharge. Recharge from rain and melting snow is normally greatest 

in the spring of the year, and water levels usually reach their peak in March, April, or May. 

Water levels decline when recharge is reduced in the spring and early fall, and natural discharge

to surface-water bodies continues by springs and seepage. Minimum water levels usually occur 

in October or November. la New Hampshire water levels in wells in glacial till usually fluctuate 

through a range from about 5 to about 15 feet. Water levels in wells in stratified sand and gravel, 

on the other hand, rarely fluctuate more than 2 or 3 feet under natural conditions. This difference 

is primarily due to the relatively low specific yield of glacial till as compared with that of stratified sand and gravel.

During the first part of 1954 water-level fluctuations in New Hampshire followed the normal 

trend; they rose during the spring and reached a maximum during May as a result of recharge 

from abnormally high rainfall during that month. The subsequent summer decline was halted by 

recharge from above-average precipitation during August and September. The rainfall accompanying hurricanes "Carol" and "Edna" brought water levels to record highs for September. 

Above-normal precipitation in November and December left water levels higher and ground-water 

storage appreciably greater than normal for the end of the year.

Acknowledgments

The Manchester Waterworks maintained the recording gage installed on Auburn 8 and 

continued periodic measurements of water level in this well.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in New Hampshire are numbered serially within each town or city roughly in the order 

that the wells were inventoried. Each well is designated by the name of the town or city in which 

the well is located.

NEW JERSEY

By Charles R. Austin

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

State Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and 

Supply. Measurements were made in 200 wells. Measurements were made monthly or less frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and several times a day in those which were being 

observed during pumping tests. At the end of 1954, continuous records from recording gages 

were being obtained from 87 wells. Figure 16 shows the location of the wells, the records of 

which are given in this report, except for those in Middlesex County and western Salem County. 

Figures 17 and 18 show the wells reported in these areas.

Precipitation

Precipitation for 1954 averaged 91 percent of normal for the State as a whole. Statewide 

precipitation was near normal in March, April, and May but below normal during the rest of 

1954. The June average of 1.12 inches was the second lowest of record; the July total of 1. 70 

inches has been noted only 4 times since 1885. The month of September, in a great many instances, 

showed a greater amount of rainfall than normal; this was a result of hurricane "Carol." Because 

of the deficient rainfall during the summer months, many wells showed record lows.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Atlantic County. --In the Atlantic City area, the artesian pressure in the Atlantic City 

Waterworks well (36.13.2. 9.1) at Pleasantville, which taps the Atlantic City 800-foot sand unit of 

the Kirkwood formation, showed a seasonal trend similar to previous years. Owing to increased 

pumping from these sands, the level throughout the year was about 1 foot below that of 1953 and 

about 2 feet below the 1952 level. In the Longport well (36.23.1. 9.6),which also taps the Atlantic 

City 800-foot sand unit of the Kirkwood formation, the water levels followed the same general 

pattern as in previous years--seasonal decline during the months of June, July, and August and 

recovery starting immediately after Labor Day, when most of the hotels in this area close for the 

season. The levels in this well were below those of 1952 and 1953; a record low of 72. 4 feet 

below msl was observed on August 1. Other wells in the Atlantic City area also showed record 

lows during 1954. In general, water levels in the Atlantic City area have been declining during the 

past few years, owing to increase in the rate of pumping.

Bergen County. --The level in the Wanke well (26. 3.1. 4. 3) at East Paterson showed a rising 

trend from 1950 until 1953, when it started to decline. During most of 1954, the levels were 

about 10 feet below those of 1953. Immediately after hurricane "Carol" in September, the levels 

began rising and in the months of November and December 1954 were the same as those in 1953. 

The Garfield well (26. 3.1. 7. 3) showed generally lower water levels throughout 1954 until 

September; then the water levels began rising and,for the balance of 1954,were about the same as 

in 1953. Increased industrial usage in this area is probably the reason for the decline in water 

levels.

Burlington County. --The Penn State Forest well (32.23. 6.6. 8) is a drilled observation 

water-table well in the Cohansey sand. This well is not near any pumping and is a reliable index 

of trends in this area. Figure 19 is a composite hydrograph showing end-of-day water levels 

observed in this well from 1936 to 1953. The water levels for 1954 have been plotted on this 

composite hydrograph to show their relation to the highest, lowest, and average water levels that 

have been noted since this well has been maintained.

Camden County. --In this area, water levels have been declining since 1951. A record low 

of 38. 6 feet below msl was observed in the New Jersey Water Co. well 10 (31. 2. 4. 5.1) in Camden 

on July 10, 1954. A record low of 12. 77 feet below msl was observed in the Esterbrook Pen Co. 

well (31.1.6. 4. 8) on October 2, 1954, the previous record low having been 10.93 feet below msl 

on September 4, 1953. These lows may be attributed mainly to increase in the rate of pumping in 

this area.

Cape May County. --Water levels in the American Ice Co. well (36.22. 6.8.2) during the first 

6 months of 1954 were about 5 feet lower than during the same period in 1953, a record low 

having been observed during the month of July 1953. During the last 6 months of 1954, the levels 

were nearly the same as those of 1953. A record low of 70. 5 feet below msl was recorded in the 

Schwartz well (36. 22.6. 9.1) on August 3, 1954, the previous record low having been 66.2 feet 

below msl on September 6, 1953. Water levels in this area were slightly lower throughout 1954 

than during 1952 and 1953.

Essex County. --A record low of 101. 4 feet above msl was observed in the Commonwealth 

Water Co. well 30 (25.15. 7. 5.4) on August 29, 1954, the previous record low having been 

104.2 feet above msl on November 29, 1953. A record low of 134.90 feet above msl was observed 

in the East Orange Water Department well (25.15. 7. 5. 9) on September 2, 1954. The previous 

record low in this well was 136. 30 feet above msl on October 26, 1953. Water levels in these 

wells were nearly 4 feet lower throughout 1954 than in 1953. The lows in this area may be attributed to increase in the rate of pumping and a deficiency in rainfall during 1954.

Gloucester County. --A record low of 3. 70 feet below msl was observed in the E. I. du Pont 

de Nemours Co. well (30.14. 8.2. 4) on August 26, 1954. A record low of 46.8 feet below msl 

was observed in the Texas Co. well 3 (31.11. 2.7.2) on July 29, 1954. Water levels throughout 

1954 were generally lower in this area, owing to increased industrial usage.

Middlesex County. --The Joseph Morrell well (29.11.1. 2. 3) in Middlesex County is considered 

to be a reliable index of the amount of water stored in the ground, particularly during the growing 

season. This well responds quickly to precipitation and is so situated that it is not affected by 

pumping. Figure 20 is a composite hydrograph of the Joseph Morrell well, showing the highest, 

lowest, and average water levels at the end of each day from 1923 to 1954. The 1954 record has 

been plotted as a separate line to show its relation to the average and record highs and lows. 

Several record lows were noted in the Duhernal wells in this area,but after the September hurricane 

the water levels for the balance of the year were slightly higher than average.

Monmouth County. --The Rulif Hulsart well (29.11.1. 2.9) is a reliable index to ground-water 

levels in this area. Figure 21, a composite hydrograph showing the highest, lowest, and average 

end-of-day water levels for the years 1936 to 1954, indicates the seasonal trends. During most of 

1954, water levels were much lower than in 1953, and record lows were noted for the months of 

March, April, May, July, and August. Shortly after the heavy rainfalls at the end of August and 

during the first part of September, water levels in this well started to rise and, although they were 

below average for the balance of 1954, by December 31 they had almost reached the average 

point.

Union County. --A record low of 60. 26 feet above msl was observed in the Union County Park 

Commission well (26.21. 5.4. 6) on June 25, 1954, the previous record low of 61.03 feet above 

msl having been observed on November 20, 1953. Figure 22 is a composite hydrograph showing 

the highest, lowest, and average end-of-day water levels from 1943 to 1954. The 1954 record has 

been plotted as a separate line to show its relation to the average and to the record highs and 

lows. Record lows were observed throughout 1954 until the early part of September and again 

during October and November. Although water levels rose slightly during the month of December 

so that no record lows were noted, the levels were below average. The lowering of water levels 

in this area may be attributed to deficiencies in rainfall and to increased industrial usage.

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system is based upon the State topographic atlas sheets. The first 

segment of the number is that of the atlas sheet on which the well location may be found. The 

second refers to the 6-minute rectangle in which the well is situated. The third refers to the 

2-minute rectangle into which the 6-minute rectangle is subdivided. Each of the 2-minute rectangles is divided into nine equal rectangles which are numbered from 1 to 9, beginning in the 

upper left corner and numbering to the right. These divisions are again divided into nine equal 

rectangles and numbered in the same way.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below mean sea level unless otherwise indicated. When some 

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

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

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

signs are above the plane of reference.

Long Island

By J. J. Geraghty

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Long Island was continued during 1954 in cooperation 

with the New York State Water Power and Control Commission, the Nassau County Department 

of Public Works, the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors, and the Suffolk County Water Authority. 

Measurements were made in 450 wells, 50 of which are equipped with recording gages. The 

records of 180 wells, 23 of which are equipped with recording gages, are Included in this report. 

Figures 23-27 show the location of observation wells on Long Island. The unpublished data have 

been placed in open file and are available for inspection at the office of the U. S. Geological 

Survey, 230 Old Country Road, Mineola, N. Y. With respect to the wells for which data are 

being published, the following changes were made in the water-level observation program during 

1954: (1) readings in 6 wells were discontinued, (2) readings were resumed in 2 wells for which 

no data were shown in the 1953 report, (3) recording gages were removed from 7 wells, after 

which monthly measurements were made, and (4) the frequency of measurements in 18 wells was 

reduced to a semiannual basis. A typewritten report on supplementary data on water levels and 

chloride concentrations in outpost observation wells in southern Nassau County, Long Island, 

N. Y., by J. J. Geraghty, was released to open file.

Precipitation

Precipitation on Long Island in 1954 averaged about 3 inches less than in 1953; however, at 

49 inches it was still about 5 inches above normal at 15 stations operated by the U. S. Weather 

Bureau and other agencies. Deficiency in precipitation from January through July was more than 

compensated for later in the year, principally by the heavy rains accompanying two severe hurricanes that passed over or near Long Island in August and September. The highest reported precipitation (61.05 inches) on Long Island in 1954 was at Lake Ronkonkoma in the central part of the 

island; this station reported 19 days with 1.00 inch or more of precipitation during 1954. The 

lowest reported precipitation on Long Island was 41. 68 inches at Cutchoguje on the North Fork of 

Suffolk County. Annual precipitation averaged about 8 inches above normal in Suffolk County and, 

in general, about 2 inches above normal in the rest of Long Island. At the Riverhead Research 

Farm in eastern Suffolk County, 56.24 inches (14. 32 inches above normal) of precipitation was 

measured in 1954. At Setauket (longest continuous record in eastern Long Island) 50. 35 inches 

(5. 41 inches above normal) was recorded. At Mineola in central Nassau County, 47.25 inches 

(4. 80 inches above normal) was measured, and at the Battery (longest continuous record near 

the western end of Long Island) 38.09 inches (3.94 inches below normal) was recorded.

Pumpage

According to data furnished by the New York State Water Power and Control Commission, 

the Nassau County Department of Public Works, and other sources, gross withdrawals of ground 

water on Long Island in 1954 for public supply, industrial, agricultural, and other uses averaged 

315 mgd (million gallons per day), an alltime record high. Of this amount, 220 mgd (including 

55 mgd pumped by New York City) was for public supply, 78 mgd for industrial uses, and 17 mgd 

for agricultural purposes. Withdrawals in 1954 averaged 54 mgd more than in 1953. Most of 

this, about 40 mgd, represented an increase in pumpage, from 15 mgd in 1953 to 55 mgd in 1954, 

by the city of New York from installations in Nassau and Queens Counties; these large withdrawals 

were necessary because of the shortage of supply in the city's upstate reservoirs. The city's 

emergency lasted from November 1953 to September 1954. The remaining increase of 14 mgd in 

1954 is accounted for as follows: (1) public supply by water districts, municipalities, and private 

companies (about 7 mgd); (2) industrial uses (about 6 mgd); and (3) agricultural uses (about 1 mgd). 

Aside from the heavy withdrawals by the city of New York on occasions of shortages of surfacewater supplies, the increase in pumpage year for year in Long Island during the past 10 years 

reflects chiefly the large growth in population, the expanding industrial development in Nassau 

and Suffolk Counties, and the somewhat greater per capita use of ground water for all purposes.

About 159 mgd, or 51 percent of the gross withdrawals from Long Island, was in Nassau 

County; this amount includes about 47 mgd of puir.page from installations owned by New York City. 

Withdrawals in Queens County were 66 mgd (including 8 rngd from installations owned by New 

York City), or 21 percent of the total; withdrawals in Suffolk County were 65 mgd, or 20 percent 

of the total; withdrawals in Kings County were 25 mgd, or 8 percent of the total. About 60 percent 

of the total pumpage on Long Island was from the deposits of late Pleistocene age, 30 percent from 

the Magothy formation(?), 7 percent from the Lloyd sand member of the Raritan formation, and 

3 percent from the Jameco gravel. As recharge of used water to water-bearing formations in 

1954 averaged 130 mgd, net pumpage was about 186 mgd, of which 90 mgd was in Nassau County, 

60 mgd in Queens County, 24 mgd in Suffolk County, and 12 mgd in Kings County. About 84 mgd 

of the 220 mgd used for public supply in Long Island was returned to the ground by cesspools, 

septic tanks, treatment plants, and leaching basins; about 47 mgd of the 78 mgd pumped for industrial and other uses was returned through recharge wells.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Long Island is composed of beds of unconsolidated sand, gravel, and clay, deposited on a 

crystalline bedrock floor that slopes about 80 feet per mile to the southeast. The unconsolidated 

deposits, which are all hydraulically interconnected to a greater or lesser degree, have been 

differentiated into four principal water-bearing formations, also referred to as aquifers. The 

upper and most productive of these consists of extensive outwash deposits of late Pleistocene age, 

which,in some places, are overlain by till or shoreline deposits of Recent age. The second aquifer, the Jameco gravel, an earlier outwash deposit of Pleistocene age, occurs chiefly in the 

western part of the island; it is covered in most places by the Gardiners clay, an interglacial 

deposit. The third aquifer, the Magothy formation(?) of Late Cretaceous age, consists of lenticular beds of sand, gravel, and clay. In most of the central and eastern parts of the island, this 

formation is in direct contact with the surficial beds of outwash. However, in much of the western 

part, it is separated from the surficial deposits by the Gardiners clay and the Jameco gravel. 

Except for a persistent zone of coarse sand and gravel in the lower part of the Magothy formation(?), no other widespread or well-delineated water-bearing zones are recognized, and producing wells may be screened at various depths throughout the remainder of the formation. The 

fourth and lowermost aquifer, the Lloyd sand member of the Raritan formation, consists chiefly 

of beds of sand and gravel. This unit, also of Late Cretaceous age, lies just above the bedrock 

floor of the island, and is covered almost everywhere by the thick clay member of the Raritan 

formation.

It is estimated that about half the average annual precipitation of 43 inches on Long Island 

infiltrates downward from land surface to the water table; the remaining half is lost through 

evaporation, transpiration, and overland runoff to streams. In general, recharge rates are 

higher in years of above-normal precipitation,such as 1954, and lower in years of below-normal 

precipitation. After reaching the water table, ground water moves slowly through one or more 

of the water-bearing units until it is discharged eventually into streams or open bodies of salt 

water or is withdrawn artific ially by wells. Fluctuations of water levels in observation wells 

indicate changes in storage of ground water, resulting from variations in recharge to and discharge from the various aquifers. When not affected by pumping, water levels in all aquifers 

show seasonal patterns that reflect rates of natural recharge and discharge. The most favorable 

conditions for natural recharge are during the nongrowing season, which extends from the first 

killing frost in the fall to the last killing frost in the spring. Water levels in most observation 

wells in Long Island rise during the nongrowing season. Inasmuch as varying lengths of time are 

required for recharge from precipitation to percolate to the water table, there is some lag in the 

period of rise, and peak water levels in some wells are reached as late as several months after 

the nongrowing season has ended. The growing season is marked by a noticeable decline in water 

levels in most wells. In some areas in western Long Island, pumpage from all wells, especially from artesian wells, causes noticeable modifications to the natural pattern of water-level 

fluctuations.

In 1954, there were only slight net changes in the position of the water table in central and 

eastern Nassau County and in most parts of Suffolk County. In Queens County and western Nassau 

County, however, where the net withdrawals are the greatest on the island, the water table in 

many observation wells declined more or less steadily during 1954. By the end of 1954, the water 

table was as much as 7 feet below sea level in parts of southwestern Queens County. The opposite 

trend was observed in Kings County. There, because of a permanent large reduction in pumpage 

in 1947 for public supply, water levels in most observation wells have been rising more or less 

continuously since that time. To some extent, this rise is aided by the gradual reduction in net 

withdrawals for industrial use in the county, as more and more recharge wells are installed and 

as industrial wells are abandoned. The recovery of water levels in Kings County since 1947 has 

been as much as 30 to 35 feet in 1 or 2 wells. By the end of 1954, the lowest measured water 

level in Kings County was only about 8 feet below sea level; in 1947, before the large curtailment 

of pumping, water levels in a few wells had been as much as 30 to 40 feet below sea level.

The configuration of the water table in Long Island is roughly similar to that of the land 

surface of the island itself, being highest in the center and at sea level along the shores. At its 

highest point in east-central Nassau County, it was about 90 feet above sea level in 1954; at its

lowest point, in north-central Kings County, it was about 8 feet below sea level. The natural 

fluctuation of the water table in central Long Island is represented graphically by the average 

water level of 14 selected wells in Nassau and Suffolk Counties (fig. 28). These wells are N1255, 

N1256, N1259, N1263, N1614, N1615, and N1616 in Nassau County, and S1803, S1805, S1806, 

S1807, S1808, S1809, and S1810 in Suffolk County. In December 1954, the average water level of 

the 14 selected wells was 47.70 feet above sea level, which represented a net decrease of 0.36 

foot during the year; the change corresponds to the precipitation trend. The highest recorded 

average level in these wells was 50.99 feet in April 1939; the lowest recorded average level was 

42. 96 feet in October 1932.

Water levels in about 60 artesian wells were measured on a more or less periodic basis 

during 1954. This report includes water-level readings in the following 44 artesian wells:

In 1954 water levels changed as much as several feet in some artesian wells in western 

Long Island. Water levels in the artesian formations give expression much more readily to large 

variations in pumping in nearby and more distant wells. Thus, day for day, the pattern of fluctuations correlates with the various combinations and patterns of pump age and also with the distance of the observation wells from the pumped wells. Therefore, without a detailed appraisal 

of these various influences, minor trends in water levels are not too easily detectable in most of 

the artesian observation wells, although water levels have varied appreciably month for month 

and season for season throughout the relatively short periods of record. In well N7 (screened in 

the Lloyd sand member) in southwestern Nassau County (fig. 28), an overall downward trend is 

evident since 1944; also, similar though smaller declines have become apparent in the past few 

years in two nearby artesian wells, N9 and N1613 (screened in the Magothy formation(?). In 

Kings County, artesian levels in the Jameco gravel are rising more or less steadily in response 

to the large curtailment of pumpage in 1947.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgment is hereby made to the Superintendent of the Riverhead Water Supply for 

maintaining a recording gage at well S4134 at Riverhead and for taking periodic water-level readings at well S4271 at Baiting Hollow; and to the Superintendent of the Village of Greenport Water 

Supply for water-level readings at several wells in the vicinity of Greenport.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells on Long Island are numbered by the New York State Water Power and 

Control Commission. The letter before the well number is the first letter of the name of the 

county in which the well is situated; the numbers have no geographical significance and are assigned to wells more or less with respect to the order of drilling since about 1933.

The following tables include a summary of data pertaining to ground-water levels for Long 

Island and the net changes in water levels during 1954.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All measurements in the following tables are referred to mean sea-level datum (Sandy Hook 

datum). Water levels below this datum are prefixed by a minus (-) sign. When some measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign 

is placed before the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings between minus signs 

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

UPSTATE NEW YORK

By E. S. Asselstine, P. K. Mack, and J. A. Ziarno

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Upstate New York was continued in 1954 in cooperation 

with the State Water Power and Control Commission. This program includes, in addition to 

the collection of water-level measurements, areal investigations to determine the occurrence, 

availability, and quality of ground water. Measurements were made periodically in 63 wells; 

recording gages were maintained on 20 wells. New wells were added to the network in Rensselaer, 

Saratoga, Ulster, and Washington Counties. Figure 29 shows the location of observation wells 

listed in this report.

Precipitation

Precipitation for New York State in 1954 averaged slightly above normal. Distribution was 

uneven throughout the various regions of the State. July was the only month that received belownormal rainfall; other monthly amounts varied from near normal to well above normal. The 

statewide average annual precipitation of 42.76 inches was 3. 68 inches greater than normal. Individual station annual totals ranged from 65. 43 inches at Highmarket east of Lake Ontario to 

26. 62 inches at West Cameron in Steuben County. During the first half of 1954, precipitation 

averaged about 12 percent above normal. April 1954 was the fifth wettest since 1890. July 1954 

received only 55 percent of normal, ranking it as the third driest since 1890. The remaining 

5 months averaged about 20 percent greater than the normal amount of precipitation for that 

period. Hurricanes Carol, Edna, and Hazel on August 31, September 11, and October 5, respectively, were responsible for localized heavy rains. Eastern New York felt the effect of the two 

earlier hurricanes,and the western part of the State received much precipitation as a result of the 

passing of hurricane Hazel. The statewide snowfall average of 74.4 inches was 5 percent above 

the normal annual total.

Pumpage

Pumpage data are tabulated below from four important areas of ground-water pumpage: the 

Schenectady area, the triple-cities area of Binghamton, Johnson City, and Endicott, the Jamestown area, and the Corning area. Neither the aquifers of these areas of heavy pumpage nor the 

aquifers of any other areas in Upstate New York are considered to be overdeveloped. Ansco 

Corp. at Binghamton continued to recharge its aquifers artificially to safeguard its supply.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The dominant feature of the water-level records for Upstate New York is the seasonal 

fluctuation, the water levels being highest during March or April of each year and lowest in 

September, October, or November. In wells not affected by pumping, the period of decline corresponds with the growing season and appears to be lowest during the hottest summers, although 

other factors may be contributing. The seasonal low is not closely related to minor fluctuations 

in precipitation. The rise commences shortly after the end of the growing season, when evapotranspiration losses are at a minimum and when a larger percentage of the precipitation reaches 

the water table. The rise continues until spring. Water levels during 1954 followed the normal 

annual cycle with deviations closely related to local climatological conditions. The year began 

with ground-water levels below average but trending upward. The trend continued at a greater rate, 

and by spring the water levels in most wells were up to average or above. Highest February 

water levels for 11 years of record were measured in well St 1 in northern N^w York. Highest 

April levels were measured in well Wo 1 in western New York. (See fig. 30.)

With the beginning of the growing season in May, the seasonal downward trend became 

established. In northern New York, because precipitation was high and temperatures were relatively low, water levels remained above average during the rest of 1954, though they followed the 

seasonal trends. Throughout the rest of the State, however, lower-than-normal precipitation in 

July brought water levels considerably below normal; and, although precipitation was above normal 

for the rest of the summer, levels did not recover to normal till late summer or autumn. The 

lowest September reading for 11 years of record was observed in well Mt 1 in the Mohawk Valley. 

The highest September reading for an equal period of record was observed in well St 1 in the St. 

Lawrence River valley. (See fig. 30.)

Water levels in eastern New York reached annual low stages during August and September. 

This was somewhat earlier than usual. Seepage from rains accompanying hurricane Carol recharged aquifers in quantities sufficient to break the seasonal downward trend. Water levels in 

the western part of the State continued to decline until the end of the growing season in October 

and November before reaching annual low stages. By the end of 1954, levels were generally 

higher than at the end of 1953, were above average, and were trending upward.

Well-Number ing System

Wells in Upstate New York are numbered in sequence in each county. A letter or combination of two letters from the name of the county is prefixed to the well numbers. Thus the letters 

"Ag" are prefixed to all well numbers in Allegany County.

OHIO

By W. C. Walton and R. K. Cash

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Water and Wildlife, the Commissioners of 

Hamilton County, and the city of Canton. Water-level measurements were made in 150 wells, 

135 of which were equipped with recording gages. Monthly clocks were installed on 122 recording 

gages. About 175 water-table wells in an area 6 miles northeast of Dayton were measured during 

October and November. Monthly water-level measurements were made in 30 wells at Canton. 

The records of 89 wells are included in this report. Figures 31-36 show the location of the cooperative observation wells. Water-level data were also collected by means of well surveys in 

Licking, Portage, and Pickaway Counties.

Bulletin 27, The ground-water resources of Summit County, Ohio, by R. C. Smith and 

G. W. White; Information Circular" No. 4, The water resources of Ross County, Ohio, by J. J. 

Schmidt; and a series of circulars entitled "Monthly summary of ground-water levels in index 

wells in Ohio, " by Paul Kaser, were published in 1954 by the Ohio Department of Natural 

Resources, Division of Water.

Precipitation

A period of unusual dryness continued from June 1952 through the fall months of 1953 and 

into the winter months of 1954. Precipitation during 1954 averaged 36.50 inches for the State, 

or 1.11 inches below normal. The 1954 deficit is small compared with 1953 when the total precipitation of 28.64 inches was 8.98 inches below normal. The pattern of weather conditions 

throughout the recent dry years, combined with the effects of the drought itself, has resulted in 

considerable moisture deficiencies in many parts of Ohio. In 1954, above-normal amounts of 

precipitation fell during March, April, August, and October; below-normal conditions prevailed 

during the remainder of the year. Rainfall in 1954 exceeded the normal in the northern and southeastern sections of the State. The greatest departure above average, 9.50 inches, was recorded 

at Van Wert in northwestern Ohio. Near-normal moisture conditions prevailed over one-third 

of the State. Negative departures in excess of 5 inches were measured in southwestern and southcentral counties. Lancaster had the largest recorded deficiency, 8. 33 inches below normal. In 

general, weather conditions were more favorable for the replenishment and maintenance of 

ground-water supplies than in 1952 and 1953. Moderate amounts of precipitation in 1954, falling 

during the height of the wet season in March and April, reduced the moisture deficiency left over 

from previous months. April was the most favorable month for recharge to the ground-water 

reservoir. Heavy rainfall in August decreased the seasonal demand for water. The generous 

supply of rainfall in October, 3.13 inches above normal, was largely responsible for improved 

moisture conditions at the end of 1954.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The downward trend of water levels during the fall months of 1953 continued into the winter 

months of 1954. Minimum levels measured in January, February, and March were record lows. 

Spring rains produced a large amount of recharge, causing water levels to rise substantially in 

April and May; but this recharge was not sufficient to replenish water taken from storage in previous years. Maximum water levels were below average. The seasonal downward trend of water 

levels continued from the middle of May to October. Above-normal rainfall in October contributed 

recharge to the ground-water reservoirs; continued near-normal amounts of precipitation prevented further decline. As a result, yearly net declines were far less than in 1953. Year-end 

levels averaged 1 foot above those of 1953 in 70 percent of the wells whose records are given in 

this report. Water-level trends in areas unaffected by heavy pumping are illustrated by the 

records of 13 observation wells in figures 37, 38, and 39. In general, ground-water conditions 

improved most in the northern part of the State, where precipitation was above or near normal in 

1954.

The most heavily pumped aquifers in Ohio are glacial sands and gravels in buried valleys 

under major streams. The valley-fill deposits receive replenishment from the flow of rivers by 

induced infiltration. Recharge is greatest during periods of high streamflow. Ground-water 

storage in the valley-fill deposits has been reduced as the result of below-normal runoff and 

increased rates of pumping*

Mill Creek valley. The valley-fill deposits in the Mill Creek valley are separated into two 

water-bearing formations by a thick bed of till. At present, the shallow aquifer, about 25 feet 

in thickness near Lockland, is dewatered in the southern part of the valley. The lower aquifer is 

about 100 feet thick in the vicinity of Lockland. The relatively impermeable till stratum in the 

valley south of Lockland excludes recharge to the lower aquifer. North of Lockland the till layer 

is absent in places or is sufficiently permeable to allow percolation of water from the shallow 

aquifer to the lower aquifer. Recharge is from direct precipitation and from the flow of Mill 

Creek, the intake area is several miles from centers of pumping in the southern part of the 

valley. The perennial yield of the lower glacial deposits is limited, therefore, by the capacity of 

the formation to transmit water as Well as by the amount of recharge available. Withdrawal of a 

large amount of water from storage in the aquifer has caused a continued downward trend of water 

levels in the area. The saturated thickness of the aquifer at Ivorydale was reduced to about 

20 feet in 1948. The hydrograph of well 270-T-7 in figure 40 shows that water levels at the 

Procter & Gamble Co. were 129 feet below the surface in the autumn of 1948. In June 1952, the 

Procter & Gamble Co. and 10 other industries in Mill Creek valley began purchasing water from 

the Southwestern Ohio Water Co. Since then an average of 12 mgd (million gallons per day) 

pumped from a collector along the Miami River near Venice has been distributed to participating 

industries. Water levels in the Lockland-Wyoming and Carthage-Ivorydale districts rose in 

response to the decrease in withdrawal as ground water moved from storage in outlying areas into 

the deep cones of depression. The rate of recovery of water levels (see well 270-T-7 in fig. 40) 

decreases with the filling of the cones of depression. The water level in well 270-T-7 recovered 

8. 5 feet in the period 1952 through 1954: 4. 5 feet in 1952, 2. 5 feet in 1953, and 1. 5 feet in 1954. 

The large cone of depression at the Gardner-Richardson Co. plant at Lockland recovered 12 feet 

from June 1952 to September 1954. , The rise in water levels ended in September. The record of 

well 241-3 indicates a net lowering since September of about 1 foot.

The trend of the water level in well 216-E (fig. 40) at the Electric Auto-Lite plant north of 

Lockland has been generally downward, the total decline being about 42 feet between 1941 and 

1955. Below-normal precipitation, movement of water downgradient to the southern part of the 

valley, and increased use of ground water caused the water level in well 216-E to recede about 

8 feet during 1953 and 1954. Water levels now are 5 feet below the bottom of the aquiclude.

Rates of decline in water levels have increased during the past 3 years of deficient precipitation in the northern part of Mill Creek valley. Water levels at the village of Glendale well field 

declined 6. 5 feet during 1954, as shown by the hydrograph of well 207-3 (fig. 40). The highest 

level for the year is below the maximum level in previous years; the minimum 1954 level is the 

record low. Recharge conditions are more favorable in the part of the valley between Flockton 

and Crescentville in Butler County. There is no continuous downward trend in water levels in 

this part of the valley. The area is largely under cultivation and the upper and lower gravels are 

hydraulically connected. Natural fluctuations of ground-water levels in the area are shown by the 

record of well 180 in figure 40. The dry fall and winter season of 1953-54 caused the water level 

in well 180 to decline to a record low in March. Water levels only partially recovered during the 

spring and early summer months. The downward trend continued from August to December. 

»

In general, the reduction of withdrawals from the valley-fill deposits in the Mill Creek valley 

has decreased the rapid rate of depletion of the aquifer. However, draft by the municipalities and 

by those industries not supplied by the Southwestern Ohio Water Co. is increasing. The average 

daily pumpage for the past years by several municipalities is given in the following table in mgd:

Miami River valley. Declining water levels in the Mill Creek valley resulted in the development in 1952 of a large ground-water supply in the Big Bend area of the Miami River south of 

Hamilton and importation of water into Mill Creek valley. Water is pumped by the Southwestern 

Ohio Water Co. from a water collector, 1.2 miles southwest of Venice in Hamilton County. The 

average amounts of water withdrawn from the collector, in mgd, in 1952, 1953, and 1954 were 

9.77, 11.86, and 11.39, respectively. About 125 feet of permeable deposits of sand and gravel 

underlie the Miami River in the vicinity of the collector. Before the withdrawal of ground water 

from the collector, the water table fluctuated in response to natural conditions of discharge and 

recharge. Discharge of ground water was by evapotranspiration and by seepage into the Miami 

River to sustain streamflow. Pumping from the collector reversed the natural hydraulic gradients

and induced recharge from streamflow. When the stage of the river is high, as it was on May 26 

and 27, 1953, storage in the aquifer is likewise above normal, as shown by the hydrograph of 

well H-2 in figure 41. The excess water is rapidly deflected by pumping the collector. When 

water levels recede below stream level, however, the downward trend subsides, as discharge is 

increasingly balanced by induced infiltration. Thus,the water level in well H-2 was stabilized 

during 1954 near the stage of the low flow of the river. During periods of near-minimum streamflow, silt is deposited on the streambed, the wetted portion of the river channel is decreased, and 

infiltration rates are reduced. The cone of depression, caused by pumping the collector, must 

then grow until it diverts water from a greater length of stream. Higher streamflows that scour 

the streambed periodically restore infiltration rates. A net decline of 0.7 foot in the water level 

in well H-2 occurred in 1954 because of low flows in the river. However, the decline was only 

0.4 foot greater than the decline in the water level in well B-23, in an area unaffected by heavy 

pumping. The hydrograph of well H-2 (fig. 41) reveals that recharge during 1954 was below 

average. The maximum level was considerably below that in previous years; the minimum level 

in well H-2 is the lowest of record. Peak levels were observed in well H-2 in April; the lowest 

levels of record occurred in December. However, ground-water levels in the vicinity of the collector have not been seriously affected during recent years of deficient precipitation. The data 

collected indicate that the aquifer will sustain withdrawals of at least 11 mgd, even under adverse 

conditions.

The Hamilton municipal water supply is obtained from 6 wells in the Miami River valley, 

about 1 mile north of the city limits. The average daily pumpage, in mgd, in 1950, 1951, 1952, 

1953, and 1954 was 5.4, 6.5, 6.6, 7.2, and 6.8, respectively. The valley-fill deposits at 

Hamilton, more than 170 feet thick, consist of permeable sands and gravels interbedded with 

lenses of clay. A confining bed of till 28 feet thick, 92 feet below the surface, produces artesian 

conditions at the municipal well field. The till is of local occurrence, for water levels in wells 

drilled in the lower aquifer rise when the stage of the Miami River is high. The Hamilton Coke & 

Iron Co. has developed a large ground-water supply at New Miami north of and across the river 

from the minicipal well field; 11.8 mgd were pumped by the company in 1954 from wells in the 

valley-fill deposits. The company built a low dam across the Miami River at the plant site to 

impound water during low streamflows. The water level in well 85-7 in the municipal well field 

was affected by pumping at the Coke & Iron Co. plant during a recent aquifer-rating test. Water 

levels were several feet below the riverbed, and there was interference between well fields on 

opposite sides of the river. The village of New Miami pumped 0. 09 mgd in 1954 from 2 wells 

near the Hamilton Coke & Iron Co. plant. The hydrograph of well 85-7 (fig. 41) shows the effect 

of the concentration of pumping in the Hamilton-New Miami area. In 1951, an increase in the rate 

of pumping by the city of Hamilton caused water levels to recede to a record low in November of 

that year. However, recharge during the spring months of 1952 was sufficient to fill the aquifer. 

A further increase in municipal pumpage and heavy withdrawals by the Hamilton Coke & Iron Co. 

during 1953, together with below-average recharge, reduced ground-water storage considerably. 

Because there were very few high-river stages in 1953 and 1954, recharge rates were generally 

low. As a result, the 1954 peak levels in well 85-7 were far below those of previous years; the 

minimum level in July 1954 was the record low.

Ground water at Middletown also is pumped from the glacial deposits in the buried valley of 

the Miami River. The maximum thickness of the valley-fill deposits at Middletown is about 

250 feet. The deposits consist of permeable beds of sand and gravel interbedded with lenses of 

clay. A relatively impervious layer of clay occurs in some places at a depth of about 40 feet. The 

clay lenses in the deeper beds are not continuous over large areas. Recharge to the valley-fill 

deposits is confined to an area in the northwestern part of the city, where the Miami River crosses 

the deep part of the buried valley. The amount of ground water that can be obtained from wells in 

the southern part of Middletown is limited by the ability of the deposits to transmit water from the 

principal source of recharge. Both the shallow and deep water-bearing beds of sand and gravel 

have been developed for water supply in a small area along the east bank of the Miami River in 

the northwestern part of Middletown. In 1954, a total of 12.1 mgd'was withdrawn by the Middletown Waterworks, the Sorg Paper Co., the Gardner-Richardson Paper Co., and the Wrenn Paper 

Co. Of this total, 4. 65 mgd was used by the city. Comparison of the hydrograph of well 25-5 

(fig. 41) with stages of the Miami River shows that rises in ground-water levels in the northwestern part of Middletown are greatest when the river stage is high. Rises in ground-water 

levels are especially pronounced when lowlands adjacent to the normal river channel are flooded. 

Few high-river stages occurred during 1953 and 1954. Maximum water levels in well 25-5 during 

1953 and 1954 were far below those recorded in previous years. In the period June 1952 through 

December 1954, the greatest amount of recharge occurred in May 1953. Recharge in April 1954 

caused the water level in well 25-5 to rise about 2. 5 feet. During periods of low-water levels 

when the capacities of the shallow wells are reduced, deep wells are pumped more to add to the 

supply available from the shallow deposits. Water levels in well 25-5 were stabilized during 1954 

in response to decreases in the rates of pumping from the shallow aquifer. The minimum water 

level in January was not the record low. The downward trend of water levels in well 36-13 in the 

southeastern part of Middletown, in the vicinity of the American Rolling Mill Co., continued during 

1954. The water pumped by that company in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, and 1954 amounted to 9. 5, 

8. 7, 8.6, 8. 8, and 10.2 mgd, respectively.

Large ground-water supplies are pumped from the glacial gravels in the Miami and Mad 

River valleys in Montgomery County. Municipal supplies include those at Dayton, Miamisburg, 

and West Carrollton. The city of Dayton supply is obtained from 30 shallow wells and 10 deep 

wells in the Mad River valley at Rohrers Island, about 4. 5 miles northeast of the center of town. 

Municipal pumpage averaged 43. 9 mgd in 1954. High ground-water levels are maintained by 

periodically flooding infiltration ditches and recharging lagoons on Rohrers Island. Many industrial and commercial establishments in and immediately south of 'Dayton pump large quantities of 

ground water. It is probable that withdrawals have increased during recent years. The effects 

of the concentrated pumping on water levels are illustrated by the hydrograph of well Mt-2 given 

in figure 41. Heavy withdrawals from the valley-fill deposits lower the water table below stream 

level. Surface water is thus induced to percolate from the river to recharge the underlying sands 

and gravels. Maximum rates of recharge occur when the stage of the Miami River is high. The 

fluctuations of the water level in well Mt-2 indicate that summer rates of pumping are in excess 

of recharge. Large amounts of ground water are taken from storage in the aquifer during the 

warm months of each year. Since 1948 the water table has declined each year to progressively 

lower autumn levels, producing a succession of record-low water levels in well Mt-2. Prior to 

1952, reduced winter rates of pumping and spring rainfall restored water levels each year to their 

former maximum levels, indicating that in general recharge from the river balanced withdrawals. 

The current period of deficient precipitation has resulted in below-normal streamflow and a substantial decrease in recharge to the aquifer at Dayton. Large flows in the Miami River in 1953 

and 1954 were less in number and in magnitude than during previous years. Maximum levels in 

well Mt-2 during 1953 and 1954 were 8 feet below the previous high levels. The rate of decline 

of water levels that began in June 1952 seems to be decreasing. Although conditions of recharge 

in 1954 were poor, the water level in well Mt-2 declined only 0. 5 foot below the previous minimum 

in September 1953. The peak level in April was only 2 feet lower than the peak level in 1953. The 

seasonal downward trend ended in October, as the result of heavy precipitation and increased 

streamflow.

Upper Little Miami River basin. An investigation to determine the effects on ground-water 

storage and surface-water flow of changes in land use and stream-improvement practices in-the 

upper Little Miami River basin was begun in 1952. Figure 42 shows the location of the 9 drilled 

wells and 1 dug well included in the program. The drilled wells, cased with either 8-inch 

precast gravel wall screens or 4-inch perforated pipe, are sealed 2.5 feet below land surface with 

a 3-inch layer of concrete to prevent surface runoff from leaking downward around the well casing, 

or from percolating directly to the wells through the disturbed material adjacent to the casings. 

Three wells are in outwash -plain deposits; the others are in the various till deposits. The wells 

are at various distances from streams; some on hills and others in low areas, so that fluctuations 

of the water table under all conditions may be observed. The wells range from 15 to 40 feet in 

depth. All are equipped with recording gages.

The water table in Ohio recedes during the summer and fall months when evapotranspiration 

losses are greatest. Water levels begin to recover during the late fall, when" evapotranspiration 

losses are at a minimum and conditions are favorable for the infiltration of rainfall to the water 

table. Fluctuations due to recharge are pronounced during the wet spring months. The high and 

low points of the annual cycle of water levels occur at different times of the year, depending in 

part upon the seasonal and areal distribution of rainfall. The 1954 cycle of ground-water levels 

in the upper Little Miami River basin is illustrated by the records of the wells shown in figure 42. 

Deficient precipitation, 9.75 inches below normal, and above-normal temperatures in 1953 caused 

the water table to decline almost without interruption from the last half of May 1953 through 

January 1954. The downward trend ended during the last part of January, when precipitation falling 

on unfrozen ground replenished the ground-water reservoir. The recovery of water levels during 

February was steady but small, partly because precipitation was below average. The rise of 

water levels accelerated during March. Heavy rainfall in April, 0.86 inch above normal, produced 

peak water levels that averaged 1.4 feet below those of 1953. The seasonal decline of the water 

table was interrupted by heavy rainfall over most of the basin in June and August. A local thunderstorm in the Yellow Springs area on June 8 that produced 4.81 inches of precipitation caused the 

water level in well Gr-6 to rise 5 feet. Precipitation in October, 1.77 inches above average, 

produced a large amount of recharge to the ground-water reservoir. Minimum levels in October 

were about the same as minimum levels in January. Water levels declined somewhat during 

November and in most of December. Precipitation in November averaged 1.61 inches below 

normal. Moderate amounts of rainfall on saturated unfrozen ground during the last 2 weeks of 

December caused the water table to rise abruptly. As a result of greater precipitation in the fall 

of 1954, water levels toegan recovering much earlier than in 1953. Year-end levels showed an 

areal net rise of about 2.8 feet in 1954. Data on wells Gr-1 at Xenia, Cl-2 at Springfield, and 

Fa-1 at Jasper Mills show that recharge was below normal in 1952, 1953, and 1954 and that 

low water levels resulted from dry periods during the summer and fall months. The fluctuation 

of the water table in the upper Little Miami basin has, therefore, been observed during belownormal conditions.

Superimposed upon the annual cycle of water-level fluctuations are short-term fluctuations 

caused by various natural phenomena. Small lenses or layers of sand generally are interbedded 

in the till of ground-moraine and end-moraine deposits above the depth to which the water table 

recedes. Ground water in these lenses, confined by the relatively impervious till, produces local

artesian conditions. The water levels in several of the observation wells fluctuate, to a very 

small degree, in response to changes in atmospheric pressure. The till, overlying the lenses 

of sand, is competent to some degree in resisting the load imposed by a rising barometer. Therefore, the full increase in pressure is not transmitted to the lenses of sand overlain by till. The 

full increase in pressure, however, is transmitted to the water-level surface in the well. As a 

result, the water levels in the wells in till are depressed an amount equal to the portion of the 

increase in atmospheric pressure that is not transmitted by the till. Thus, water levels in wells 

recede when the atmospheric pressure increases and rise when the atmospheric pressure 

decreases. The ratio of a change in the water level in a well to a change in atmospheric pressure, 

expressed in percent, is termed the "barometric efficiency" of the well. Diurnal and semidiurnal 

atmospheric pressure changes, culminating in two maximums and two minimums during the course 

of 24 hours,are recorded by barometers. Diurnal pressure changes produce maximums during 

the coldest hours and minimums during the warmest hours. Barometric records show semidiurnal pressure changes culminating in maximums at about 10 a. m. and 10 p. m. and minimums 

at about 4 a. m. and 4 p. m., depending in part upon the season, elevation, and weather conditions. 

These diurnal and semidiurnal atmospheric pressure changes persist through all seasons and are 

produced by daily temperature changes. Water levels in some wells in till respond to fluctuations 

in atmospheric pressure as shown by the hydrograph of well Cl-3 and the barograph in figure'42. 

Water-level maximums occur at about 4 a. m. and 4 p. m., and water-level minimums occur at 

about 10 a. m. and 10 p. m. The barometric efficiency of well Cl-3 was about 25 percent in 

January 1954. The magnitude of the barometric efficiency of wells in till decreases as the water 

table recedes. Changes in atmospheric pressure do not affect the water levels in the wells in 

outwash deposits of sand and gravel.

During the growing season, the water table fluctuates in response to evapotranspiration 

losses. Ground-water storage is reduced as the water requirements of plants are met. The 

drawdown of water levels is greatest during the sunlight period when evapotranspiration losses 

are high; the maximum rate of drawdown occurs during the midday hours. Acceleration of the 

drawdown of water levels generally begins about 8 a. m. each day; tne rate of drawdown begins to 

decrease about 6 p. m. The decreased rate of drawdown during the hours of darkness appears as 

recovery, but water levels do not actually rise. The magnitude of fluctuations of the water table 

in response to evapotranspiration losses is relatively small and depends in part upon weather 

conditions. The hydrograph of well Cl-5, in figure 43, illustrates the daily cycle of water-level 

fluctuations caused by evapotranspiration.

Canton area. Stark County. Most of the ground-water supplies at Canton are derived from 

permeable deposits of sand and gravel in the buried valleys. The glacial materials are more than 

200 feet thick in the deepest parts of these valleys. Large amounts of recharge are received from 

infiltration of the flow in the three branches of Nimishillen Creek. Industries at Canton pump 

ground water from gravels in the main buried valley that underlies the city proper and trends westward to the Tuscarawas River. The municipal water supply is obtained from four well fields: the 

Grovemiller and Ninth Street fields in the main buried valley and the Northeast and Northwest fields 

in tributary buried valleys that underlie the Middle and West Branches of Nimishillen Creek. Average daily pumpagein million gallons per day at the municipal well fields is given in the table below:

each year.

The effect of pumping on water levels in the glacial deposits underlying the city proper is 

shown by the record of well St-6 in figure 44. The general recovery of water levels that began in 

1945 ended in 1952. The rise was caused by a reduction in the rates of pumping by industries and 

by the city of Canton after the adoption of conservation measures in 1945 and the completion of the 

Northwest well field in 1948. Record-high water levels measured in 1952 were not attained during 

1953 and 1954 because of deficient precipitation. The trend of water levels in St-6 has been generally downward since June 1952, the total decline being about 6 feet. The rate of decline 

decreased during 1954 under near-normal weather conditions. Total precipitation-at the AkronCanton WB Airport was 37. 57 inches, 0.31 inch above normal. Above-normal precipitation fell 

during January, March, April, August, and October; below-normal precipitation conditions prevailed during the remainder of 1954. Heavy rainfall in October, 6.03 inches above normal, more 

than balanced the cumulative deficiencies. The downward trend that began in April 1953 ended 

during the last week of March. Water levels rose to a seasonal maximum in May, when they were 

3 feet below the record-high level. The minimum water level in September, however, was only 

0.4 foot lower than the water level recorded in March. The year-end water level in well St-6 

was 0.6 foot higher than at the end of 1953.

The records of wells St-5A and St-4 in figure 44 illustrate the cumulative effect of 2 years 

of deficient rainfall on ground-water storage in the Northeast well-field area. Streamflow in the

OHIO 219

Middle Branch of Nimishillen Creek was reduced; high discharges were fewer in number and lower 

in magnitude. As a result, recharge from streamflow was not sufficient to cause a rise to previous maximum levels. The peak level in well St-5A in January 1954 was 13 feet below the 1952 

maximum. The 1954 maximum water level in well St-4 in May was 6.5 feet lower than the record 

peak level in 1952. Despite the lack of large streamflows, recharge by induced infiltration prevented depletion of the aquifer. The downward trend in well St-4 that began in July 1953 ended in 

January 1954. Water levels rose during the spring months of 1954 to a maximum in May, 0.2 foot 

higher than the 1953 peak level. Water taken from storage in the summer and fall of 1953 was 

replenished. The 1954 seasonal downward trend that began in the middle of May ended in October, 

when heavy rainfall produced large amounts of recharge. Water levels declined at the end of 1954 

as the result of an increase in the rate of pumping in the Northeast well field. The year-end level 

is 0. 5 foot higher than in 1953. Ground-water levels fluctuated in well St-5A within a 5-foot range 

during 1954, except in November and December, when increased pumping caused the water level 

to decline to a record-low point, 1.2 feet below the 1953 minimum. The average daily pumpage 

from wells in the Northeast well field by months for 1954 was: Jan., 4. 51; Feb., 7.78; Mar., 

9.17; Apr., 9.84; May, 8.81; June, 9. 53; July, 10. 53; Aug., 9.88; Sept., 9.71; Oct., 8.94; Nov., 

10.11; Dec., 11. 23. Longer stretches of the creek are infiltrated as water levels decline in the 

Northeast well-field area and the recharge opportunity is increased. Future floods should produce large volumes of recharge, because storage space in the aquifer is available.

The city of Canton has pumped an average of 6. 5 mgd since July 1948 from a system of 

horizontal infiltration collectors in the Northwest well field along the West Branch of Nimishillen 

Creek, about 3. 5 miles northwest of the city hall. A buried valley, about 2, 500 feet wide and 

200 feet deep, crosses the well-field area. The permeable glacial deposits of sand and gravel 

that fill the buried valley are separated into two aquifers by a till layer that averages 4 feet in thickness. The shallow aquifer is about 40 feet thick. The two aquifers are connected through horizontal perforated pipes in three collectors. The water stored in the deep aquifer is used during 

periods of low streamflow when storage in the shallow aquifer is exhausted. The shallow aquifer 

is replenished during wet periods by induced infiltration from the two forks of the West Branch of 

Nimishillen Creek. The deep aquifer is artificially recharged by the three collectors. Before the 

withdrawal of ground water from the collector system, the water levels in the shallow wells were 

above stream level. Wells in the deep aquifer flowed originally with a head several feet above 

land surface. Pumpage in excess of recharge during the summer and fall months of 1948 lowered 

the water table in the shallow aquifer and the piezometric surface of the deep aquifer several feet 

below stream level. Water levels have never returned to their original stages. Above-normal 

late winter and spring precipitation and resulting high streamflows filled the shallow aquifer 

slightly above stream level during 1950 and 1951. Despite below-normal precipitation in 1952, 

1953, and the first 9 months of 1954, the shallow aquifer was not seriously depleted and the deep 

aquifer was not dewatered. Ground-water conditions in the Northwest well-field area are illustrated by the record of well St-ll'in figure 44. The maximum 1954 water level is about 10 feet 

lower than the peak level of 1952. Record-low levels were recorded in February and July 1954. 

The downward trend since 1952 may be attributed to the current dry period, because pumping rates 

have not changed appreciably. The average amounts of ground water withdrawn in mgd from the 

Northwest well field for 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, and 1954 are 7.62, 6.60, 5.70, 

6.82, 6.36, 5.89, and 6.22, respectively. The deep aquifer stores sufficient water to balance 

pumpage in excess of recharge during several years of deficient precipitation. It remains to be 

seen whether recharge by induced infiltration during years of .normal and above-normal rainfall 

will replenish the cumulative withdrawals of water from storage. Storage space in the aquifers 

is available for large amounts of recharge from high streamflows. A comparison between water 

levels in St-11 and the stage of the west fork of Nimishillen Creek shows a rapid response of 

ground-water levels to large increases in discharge of the stream.

Toledo, Akron, Massillon, Columbus, and Chillicothe. Ground-water conditions in the 

Toledo area are illustrated by the hydrograph of well Lu-1 (fig. 45). Several industrial and commercial establishments pump ground water from a dolomite aquifer. Relatively impervious glacial 

deposits and consolidated rocks overlying the aquifer limit recharge in the immediate area. The 

water level in well Lu-1 has declined continuously since 1948, the net decline being about 10 feet. 

The records show that annual withdrawals exceed recharge. Seasonal fluctuations in well Lu-1 

are accentuated by seasonal variations in pumping. Lowest water levels ordinarily occur in 

August and September when the use of water is greatest. When summer pumping rates were 

increased in 1953 because of unusually high temperatures, water levels declined to record lows 

in September. Near-normal weather conditions in 1954 and reduced withdrawals were responsible 

for decreased drawdowns during the year. The minimum water level for the year in October was 

5 feet above the 1953 minimum. The peak level on June 1, 1954, was about 1 foot lower than the 

maximum water level on May 1, 1953. The incomplete recovery represents a loss in groundwater storage.

Industries pump large quantities of ground water from the glacial deposits at Akron. Most 

of the water is used for cooling purposes. Pumpage is seasonal; surface water is used during the 

cool months of the year. The amounts of water withdrawn by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. 

during 9-month pumping periods in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, and 1954 were 3.1, 5. 8, 3.9, 4. 2, 

and 3.1 mgd, respectively. The record of well Su-3, an unused well in the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. well field, is shown on figure 45. The decrease in pumpage in 1954 was responsible for

reduced drawdowns during the summer. The maximum water level in April 1954 was about 5 feet 

lower than average; however, it is 0.7 foot higher than the 1945 peak. The minimum water level 

in July 1954 was about 15 feet above previous seasonal lows. Water levels were recovering at 

the end of 1954 and had reached a stage 5. 5 feet above the 1953 year-end level.

The Ohio Water Service Co. owns and operates the municipal water supply for Massillon. 

Ground water is pumped from two wells in glacial sands and gravels, 600 feet west of the 

Tuscarawas River. Several industries, including the Republic Steel Corp., Massillon Steel 

Casting, and the Massillon Paper Co., have private well supplies. Water-level conditions in the 

southern part of Massillon are shown by the record of well St-1 in figure 45. Well St-1 is about 

500 feet west of the Tuscarawas River. Heavy pumping during the last half of 1952 and in 1953 

coincident with below-normal precipitation reduced ground-water storage. The water level in 

well St-1 declined almost without interruption from July 1952 to a record low in March 1954. The 

downward trend ended in March when water levels recovered to a point 0. 5 foot higher than in 

March 1953. Near-normal rainfall and reduced pumping rates were responsible for improved 

ground-water conditions. Year-end water levels also were about 0. 5 foot higher than at the end 

of 1953. Industrial and municipal withdrawals of ground water were reduced during 1954 as the 

result of chloride contamination, -ft is reported that the chloride content of water pumped from 

wells adjacent to the Tuscarawas River has gradually increased since August 1952 to reach an 

average of 700 ppm (parts per million) in November 1953, and that the ground-water supply of the 

Massillon Paper Co. showed a chloride content of 2,000 ppm in 1954. The contamination of 

ground-water supplies at Massillon may be attributed in part to receding water levels in the area. 

The source of pollution may be the brine-contaminated Tuscarawas River.or ground water of highchloride content in formations underlying the glacial gravels, or a combination of the two. As 

water levels decline below the river, infiltration of streamflow increases. A deep cone of depression in the glacial deposits creates a vertical hydraulic gradient that may induce more water to 

flow from lower formations.

The city of Columbus began pumping large quantities of ground water from four wells in 

glacial deposits along Alum Creek in the eastern part of the city in June 1950. The water-supply 

system was designed to produce 6 mgd to supplement surface-water supplies during the late 

spring, summer, and early fall months when consumption of water reaches a maximum. The 

wells were to be used temporarily until water impounded behind Hoover Dam on Big Walnut Creek 

became available to the city. Two additional wells were drilled, one in 1953 and the other in 1954, 

increasing the rated capacity of the well system to 11 mgd. The glacial materials at the well 

field are about 116 feet in thickness--12 feet of fine alluvial materials and 24 feet of till covering 

80 feet of coarse sands and gravels. The till layer acts as a confining bed that limits recharge 

from the flow of Alum Creek. A deep cone of depression is necessary to induce appreciable 

leakage through the aquiclude. Water levels in the well field respond in a small degree to high 

stages of the stream. The poor hydraulic connection between the aquifer and the creek limits 

greatly the perennial yield of the area. The general downward trend of well Fr-11 in figure 45 

shows that discharge exceeds recharge. Well Fr-11 is about 1,200 feet south of the municipal 

well field. The maximum'and minimum levels have declined to progressively lower points as 

storage in the aquifer is reduced. Some of the decline may be attributed to below-normal precipitation and resulting low streamflows. In 1954, because of reduced summer pumping rates, water 

levels did not decline below the 1953 minimum levels. The year-end reading was 1 foot lower 

than that of 1953; water levels were near or below the bottom of the aquiclude.

Industrial and municipal wells in Chillicothe obtain water from the deposits of glacial outwash gravels that fill a buried valley under the Scioto River, the major source of recharge to the 

aquifer. Large amounts of water infiltrate into the glacial materials, especially when flood waters 

fill the valley lowlands. The city of Chillicothe pumps water from two wells in the northwestern 

part of the city. The amounts of water used during 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953 were 1. 28, 

1.25, 1.33, and 1. 52 mgd, respectively. The Mead Corp., a paper company in the southern 

part of the city, uses large quantities of ground water; 20. 5 mgd have been pumped during peak 

demand periods from two horizontal infiltration collectors. The average amounts of withdrawals 

for 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, and 1954 were 19.6, 20.3, 19.0, 18.7, and 17. 9, respectively. 

Before the installation of the collectors in 1954, the water supply was derived from six vertical 

wells and an open pit. Several laundries, a brewery, and other commercial establishments also 

pump ground water from the valley-fill deposits at Chillicothe. The record of well Ro-3 in 

figure 45 illustrates ground-water conditions in the vicinity of the Mead plant. The 1953 downward 

trend of water levels ended in March. Water levels continued rising from the last week of March 

through the middle of July. The peak high in July was 1. 5 feet lower than in 1953. Deficient 

precipitation and low streamflow are responsible for the below-average recovery of water levels. 

Water levels rose sharply during the first 2 weeks of July during the annual vacation shutdown of 

the Mead plant. The water level in well Ro-3'declined steadily from the middle of September to 

the middle of December. Year-end levels are higher than the last 9 years of record, partly 

because of reduced pumping rates in 1954. The 1954 minimum water level was 0.1 foot above the 

1953 low and 7.3 feet above the record low in 1949.

Barometric fluctuations. --Hydrographs of several observation wells in Ohio show fluctuations of water levels in response to changes in atmospheric pressure. Water-level changes under 

artesian conditions due to variations in atmospheric pressure are called "barometric fluctuations."

They indicate the degree of confinement of the water in an aquifer. The ratio of the change in 

water level to the change in atmospheric pressure is termed the "barometric efficiency" of the 

well. Rises in atmospheric pressure cause corresponding declines in water level in a well, and 

a decrease in atmospheric pressure causes a rise. The conditions producing barometric fluctuations are explained in the section "Upper Little Miami River basin." The barometric efficiency 

can be determined by a comparison between the water level in a well and the atmospheric pressure 

recorded by a barograph. Microbarometers were placed in the vicinity of several observation 

wells for a period of a week. Barometric readings, converted to feet of water,were inverted and 

plotted on plain coordinate paper, together with water-level data from the wells, as shown on 

figure 46. Barometric efficiencies were calculated as the ratio of the change in water level to 

the change in barometric pressure. The values of barometric efficiencies computed from data 

of 15 observation wells are listed below:

Well-Numbering System

The observation wells for which records are given in this report, except those in the Mill 

Creek and Miami River valley areas of Butler and Hamilton Counties, are identified by numbers 

prefixed by abbreviations of the counties. The same prefix is used for all wells in a particular 

county. The wells in the Mill Creek and Miami River valleys are numbered consecutively according to their geographic location, beginning in the northern part of Butler County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

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

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

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

reference.

PENNSYLVANIA

By Maurice O. Holtzer

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Pennsylvania was continued in 1954 in cooperation with 

the Topographic and Geologic Survey, Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs. Measurements were made in 90 wells in 38 counties, 27 of which were equipped with recording gages. 

In 1954, 15 observation wells were added and measurements were discontinued in 8 wells. Measurements were made monthly or less frequently in some wells, weekly in others, and several 

times a day in those observed during pumping tests. Figures 47 and 48 show the location of wells 

for which records are given in this report, except those in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas. 

Figure 49 shows the location of wells in the Philadelphia area, and figure 50 shows the location 

of wells in the Pittsburgh area.

Weekly water levels reported for 18 wells in the drainage basin of the Susquehanna River in 

Pennsylvania are used by the Pennsylvania Water and Power Co. to predict the dry-weather flow 

of the stream 2 weeks in advance.

Precipitation

The average precipitation in Pennsylvania in 1954 was 40. 67 inches, the least since 1949. 

The average was below the normal of 42. 23 inches for the second time since 1949. Although the 

departure from the annual average was not large, the monthly average was below normal for 

7 months of the year; and the cumulative departure from average at the end of November was 

6. 44 inches. Rainfall in June was only 75 percent of normal and in July only 55 percent.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in all observation wells declined appreciably below average as a result of 

the drought which continued into midsummer. However, the downward trend ceased after the 

abnormally high precipitation in August and October.

Natural changes in ground-water storage are reflected in the observation wells in rural 

areas because they are unaffected by pumping of nearby wells. A rise of water level can be 

attributed to an increase of ground-water storage, resulting either from precipitation at the 

aquifer outcrop or from recharge from a stream hydraulically related to the aquifer tapped by 

the observation well. A decline can be attributed to a local reduction of ground-water storage, 

resulting from seepage losses to a nearby stream, from flattening of the water table in an extensive aquifer, or from transpiration and evaporation losses to the atmosphere. The hydrologic 

significance of unit rise or fall of water level generally is much different from well to well, as 

a result of differences in the hydraulic characteristics of aquifers tapped by the wells, differences 

in the topographic situation of water-table wells and the resulting aquifer drainage factors affecting water levels, and differences in vegetal cover and resulting local transpiration losses.

In Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties, most observation wells tap aquifers from which 

moderate to large withdrawals are made continually. Water-level records show primarily 

changes in pressure head caused by changes in the rate or locus of the pumping. Interpretation 

of fluctuations of water level in any well in the Philadelphia or Pittsburgh areas, therefore, requires careful study of the local pumping conditions.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are designated by a two-letter abbreviation of the name of the county and a serial 

number beginning with 1. The location is shown by the part of the number enclosed by parentheses. A location number consists of letters and figures which identify a small area within which one 

or more wells are situated. Along the west border of the map of Pennsylvania (fig. 47) are letters

A through L (except I) and along the north border are numbers 1 through 25. Each of these letters 

and numbers corresponds to 15 minutes of longitude and latitude, respectively. Therefore, a 

letter-number such as "K3" refers to quadrangle area 15 minutes on a side with "K" as its west 

and east borders and "3" as its north and south borders. The "K3'' area is divided into 4 parts 

by using "a" to represent the northwest quarter, "b" the northeast, "c" the southwest, and "d" 

the southeast. Thus, "K3a"is a quadrangle 1\ minutes on a side. The second half of the location 

number consists of 4 figures. These figures are distances south and east of the northwest corner 

of a 7j-minute quadrangle, such as quadrangle "K3a." Location "K3a-7534" is between 7. 5 and 

7.6 miles south and between 3. 4 and 3. 5 miles east of the northwest corner of "K3a." The number 

Ag-17a(H3b-3965) designates a well in Allegheny County within a tenth of a mile south and east of 

a point 3. 9 miles south and 6. 5 miles east of the northwest corner of quadrangle H3b.

RHODE ISLAND

ByW. B. Alien

Scope of Water-Level Program

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

Development Council. In December 1954 the observation-well program consisted of 52 wells, In 

4 of which water levels were measured daily, in 14 weekly, and in 29 monthly. Continuous records were obtained during 1954 in 5 wells equipped with recording gages. Water-level fluctuations 

in 21 wells are caused principally by pumping and in the remainder by natural recharge and discharge. Figures 51 and 52 show the location of observation wells. Field work for quadrangle 

(not quantitative) investigations of ground-water conditions was completed in the Slocum,Wickford, 

and Kingston quadrangles in central and southern Rhode Island. In July a start was made on a 

more intensive type of investigation on the basis of which quantitative estimates of ground water 

available within the State will be made. Monthly sampling of ground water for chloride content in 

the Woonasquatucket River valley in Providence was continued.

A report by W. H. Bierschenk on the ground-water resources of the Bristol quadrangle, 

Rhode Island-Massachusetts, was published as Geological Bulletin 7 of the Rhode Island Development Council.

Precipitation

Average statewide precipitation in 1954 was 53. 64 inches, or 4.80 inches less than in 1953, 

and 10.61 inches more than normal. The precipitation at the T. F. Green Airport in Warwick 

during 1954 was 51.53 inches, or 7.04 inches less than in 1953, but 11.90 inches more than the 

normal for the period 1921-50. In general, the average temperature at the airport was 1° above 

normal. Because precipitation was above normal in 1954, recharge to the ground-water reservoirs was more than average.

Pumpage

Pumpage in 1954 was increased about 1 mgd (million gallons per day) so that the average 

withdrawal of ground water for various purposes is now estimated at about 34 mgd.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels in all water-bearing formations in Rhode Island follow cyclical seasonal trends 

in response to natural and artificial replenishment and withdrawal. The nongrowing season is 

the most favorable time for recharge from precipitation because losses by evaporation and transpiration are low and artificial withdrawals are small. As a result, water levels in Rhode Island 

generally rise during the nongrowing season; the time of start, the rate, and the amount of rise 

depend on the precipitation pattern and on the soil condition. The rising trend occasionally continues into the growing season, peak levels being reached as late as May or early June. After 

the start of the growing season, percolation to the water table is reduced appreciably; natural discharge into surface streams through springs and seeps and into the bay and ocean continues for 

a while at a more or less const int rate. There is then a loss of ground-water storage, and water 

levels decline until recharge b ;comes greater than discharge.

Because of above-normal precipitation at the end of the 1953 growing season, the recovery 

of water levels, which started in November or December 1953, continued into 1954 in the 31 wells 

remote from heavily pumped areas. In 13 of these wells, the yearly peak levels for 1954 were 

recorded between January and May. The subsequent decline of water levels during the growing 

season was interrupted in most wells in August when 9.02 inches of rainfall was recorded; 

2.87 inches of this amount fell during hurricane Carol on August 31. The above-normal rains 

accompanying hurricane Edna on September 11 (4. 08 inches) and those in November and December 

helped water levels to recover appreciably and to reach peak levels for the year by the end of 

December in 18 of the 31 wells. In all, there was a small net gain in ground-water storage in the 

State in 1954.

324 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1954, NORTHEASTERN STATES

Fluctuations of water levels in observation wells in heavily pumped areas varied greatly with 

pumping rates. However, the general trend of water levels for the period of record shows that in 

1954 recharge was more than sufficient to balance pumpage. Record-high water levels in 4 wells 

and record-low levels in 2 wells were recorded in the central part of the State in 1954.

Well-Numbering System

The identifying symbols for wells in Rhode Island consist of the name of the town or city 

followed by a number, wells in each town or city being numbered independently.

VERMONT

By John A. Baker

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Vermont, begun in 1942, was continued in 1954. Weekly 

water-level measurements were made in two wells until April, when measurements were discontinued in one well. Figure 53 shows the location of observation wells in Vermont.

P recipitation

Records of the U. S. Weather Bureau show that the precipitation at a station in Middlesex, 

near well Middlesex 1, was 44.09 inches in 1954, 12.40 inches above the 1953 total. The average 

precipitation for Vermont in 1954 was 47. 05 inches, 8.61 inches above normal and 8. 47 inches 

above the 1953 average. At Middlesex, the wettest month, September, had 6. 05 inches; the 

driest month, August, had 2. 38 inches.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

On January 3, 1954, the water level in Middlesex 1, although the lowest recorded for the 

year, was recovering rapidly from lower levels (the well had been dry since July 1953). The 

water level continued to rise from January through April in response to above-normal precipitation and melting snow. The peak for the year was recorded in mid-April. The water level 

declined from April to September as evapotranspiration losses increased, although precipitation 

was above normal. The water level rose during August and September, owing to above-normal 

precipitation and decreasing evapotranspiration losses. The water level remained nearly stationary in November and December because frozen ground prevented much recharge, and discharge 

was at a minimum; precipitation was above normal.

Well-Numbering System

Each well in Vermont is designated by the name of the town or city in which the well is 

located, followed by a numeral assigned within each town or city in the order in which the well 

was inventoried.
