WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1941

Part 1. NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By 0. E. Melnzer and L. K. Wenzel

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground reservoirs In which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is stored to 

supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods 

of fair weather. Water levels in wells register the stages of these natural reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by 

drought or by heavy pumping for public waterworks, for irrigation, or for 

industrial uses and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons of 

abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in pressure recorded on 

flowing wells may indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs .

The regular publication of records of water levels and artesian 

pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935, 

and from that year through 1939 one volume containing these data was published each year. The volumes were issued as Water-Supply Papers 7YY, 01V, 

840, 845, and 886. The number of observation wells and the quantity of 

records on water levels and artesian pressure obtained from them have increased gradually from year to year. As a result the records for 1940 were 

published in six volumes, fJater-Supply Papers 906-911, inclusive. WaterSupply Paper 906 contains the records for the northeastern States, 90V for 

the southeastern States, 908 for the north-central States, 909 for the 

south-central States, 910 for the northwestern States, and 911 for the 

southwestern States and Hawaii. Records for 1P41 are being published in 

six volumes also, each volume covering a section of the United States corresponding to that covered by one of the volumes containing records for 1940. 

(See fig. 1). This series of reports Is in a sense an Inventory, year by 

year, of the ground-water supplies of those parts of the country that are 

covered.
2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

This volume covers the northeastern section and gives record-s of water 

level or artesian pressure in about 720 observation wells of the Geological 

Survey and cooperating agencies in Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts,

Michigan, Hew Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Of these wells 94

i

are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells for which 

records had not heretofore been published complete records of water levels 

are given in this report, including those for years before 1941. For wells 

whose previous records have been published, however, this volume gives only 

current records. If complete descriptions of the wells were given in one 

of the previous reports, only the well numbers or the well numbers and 

brief identifying descriptions are given in this report. The report includes about 25,000 individual measurements of water level or artesian 

pressure.

The water levels in this report are given with reference to datum 

planes of different kinds. Some are given in depths below measuring point 

 that is, below the recognized reference mark, at or near the top of the 

well, from which the depth to water level is usually measured; and some are 

given iii height above an assumed datum plane. As the measuring points on 

some of the wells were changed in 1941, the records may not be directly 

comparable with those in previous annual volumes, but changes in measuring 

points are recorded in this report. Water levels given in height above sea 

level or above assumed datum planes are generally comparable with those 

given in the previous volumes. Unless otherwise stated, the depth of wella 

is usually the measured depth below the measuring point.

Davis, and Mi»s. Margaret F. Monk, who typed the offset copy; and to Rodney

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER^LEVELS IN 1941 

IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES

In '1941 the precipitation in all the northeastern States, ^cept 

Michigan,, was below normal, and in most parts of the region the water levels 

in wells declined. The fluctuations of the water levels and artesian 

pressure in wells depend, however, on many factors besides the amount of 

precipitation. Consequently, it is usually not possible to find a simple
INTRODUCTION 3

relation between the changes in water level or artesian pressure and the 

departures from normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the interpretative text 

of the several State sections in this volume. They summarize the changes in 

ground-water levels and artesian pressure that occurred in 1941 in the parts

of the underground reservoirs in the northeastern States that are tapped 

by the observation wells.

Connecticut ..--Of 18 wells in New Haven County for which a year's 

record is available, 17 showed a net decline in 1941. The declines in water 

level ranged from about 0.5 foot to nearly 6 feet and averaged about 1.75 

feet. The water level in the other well, which, however, is affected by the 

pumping of nearby wells, showed a small net rise.

Indiana. In Indiana essentially complete water-level records were obtained in 1941 on 51 wells distributed over the State. Fourteen of the wells 

are in Marion County (Indianapolis). In the 37 wells situated outside of
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Indianapolis the water levels rose an average of 0.36 foot during the year 

despite the fact that the precipitation for the State was about 7 inches 

below normal. This apparent anomaly was caused by the irregular distribution of the precipitation during the year. Precipitation was below normal 

in each month except June, when it was 1.77 inches above normal, and in 

October, when it was 4.03 inches above normal. The heavy October precipitation was sufficient to cause the water levels in the wells to rise appreciably from their low summer stages, and these rises were maintained 

throughout the rest of the year. The water levels in the 14 wells in 

Indianapolis showed a net decline of about 1.5 feet during the year caused 

chiefly by heavy withdrawals from the underground reservoir for industrial, 

air-conditioning, and municipal purposes.

Massachusetts. All but 3 of the 30 observation wells in Massachusetts 

for which a complete record was obtained in 1941 showed net declines of 

water level during the year. The declines in individual wells ranged from 

less than 0.1 foot to more than 7 feet. The average of the water levels 

in all the wells declined about 2 feet. The low ground-water levels in 

1941 are ascribed chiefly to the fact that the precipitation was about 6 

inches less in 1941 than in 1940.

Michigan. The water level in a typical well in Roscommon County 

fluctuated through a range of about 2.3 feet in 1941, but at the end of the 

year was at about the same stage as at the end of 1940. Similar fluctuations of water level occurred in other observation wells in the northern 

part of the Lower Peninsula.

New Jersey. The fluctuations of water level in the Morrell well, near 

Old Bridge, N. J., are believed to be representative of changes in groundwater level where the water table is comparatively close to the land surface. Observations on this well have been carried on for about 18 years. 

During the early months of 1941 the water level in the well did not deviate 

much from the average for these months. Prom early April to the end of 

May, the water level declined, however, to stages as low or lower than any 

previously recorded for this period of the year. Precipitation during 

June and July was more than, adequate to supply the needs of vegetation and 

some unseasonal recharge to the water table occurred. As a result, record 

high water levels were occasionally recorded, although the declines between
INTRODUCTION 5

periods of heavy precipitation were rapid. On July 9 the water level was 

at a record high, but by the end of the month it had dropped to about 

normal. The decline continued through August and September and on August 20 

the water level was the lowest of record for this date. Precipitation 

during November and December caused the water level to rise considerably, 

but it was not sufficient to bring the recovery fbove the lowest stages 

recorded for the corresponding time in previous years of- record until the 

middle of December when the water level was again near a record low seasonal stage.

New low water levels were established by 22 wells tapping the No. 3 

sand in and near the Perth Amboy well field near Rvmyon. Records of 14 of 

these wells date back to October 1932. Pour have records dating back to 

1924,and of these three were measured in 1923. The low levels were caused 

by a combination of drought and pumping of the water department wells.

Artesian water levels in wells in the Atlantic City area were slightly 

lower in 1941 than in 1940 owing to a higher rate of pumpage. In the Runyon 

area, however, artesian water levels in wells tapping the No. 1 sand 

reached new high stages for the period of record because of a reduction in 

pumpage from this aquifer.

New York. With a few exceptions there was a considerable decline of 

water level in most of the observation wells on Long Island during 1941. 

This decline, in large part, was the result of deficient precipitation, 

which averaged about 7 inches below normal. The water level in only five 

of the wells showed a net rise; all these wells are affected by pumping.

Ohio. Water levels in most observation wells, both deep and shallow, 

in Butler and Hamilton Counties, were, in general, lower at the end of 1941 

than they were at the end of 1940, due, in part, to increased pumpage', and, 

in part,to deficient precipitation.

Pennsylvania. During the first part of 1941 the water levels in 29 

observation wells distributed over the State rose an average of about 2 feet 

above the 9-year mean. In October, November, and most of December, however, 

the average was considerably below the mean. The water levels did not 

fluctuate greatly during this period. In the latter part of December a 

pronounced rise occurred but nevertheless the water levels at the end of 

the year were still 3.2 feet below average.

HEW HAVEN COUNTY 

By John G. Ferris

The cooperative ground-water Investigation in the New Haven area was 

continued in 1941 by the Federal Geological Survey and the Connecticut 

State Water Commission. At the end of the year one automatic water-stage 

recorder was in operation, and weekly water-level measurements were being 

made in 22 additional observation wells. A total of about 1,200 individual 

measurements of water level was made during the year.

The inventory of wells in the New Haven area, started in the summer 

of 1939, is now being tabulated and will be released as soon as completed. 

A monthly program of collecting samples of ground water for chloride 

determination was started in New Haven on July 30, 1941, with the collection 

of samples from 24 pumping plants. The determinations of the chloride 

content are made by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, at 

New Haven, under the direction of I>r. E. M. Bailey, chenist. In addition 

to the samples collected at the 24 plants, several samples are collected 

and analyzed by two plants in the industrial area, as a part of a 

systematic program of following the changes in salinity of their private 

water supplies. After"sufficient record is available, the chloride data 

will be released.

In September 1941, a paper on the gr'ound-water work in New Haven was 

presented at the annual meeting of the New England Water "Works Association 

at Boston, Massachusetts. This report briefly describes the groundwater conditions in New Haven, shows the amount and distribution of the 

industrial withdrawal of ground water, and summarizes the changes in 

salinity of ground water that have taken place since 1919.

north upland part of the town, where there are relatively few wells, most 

of which are of small capacity. However, at widely separated locations in 

this area, there are a few industrial plants that pump considerable water. 

The "Air-conditioning area" includes the business section, in which 

theaters, stores, and restaurants use ground water for air-conditioning.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The "Cold-storage area" extends along State Street from Columbus Avenue to 

Grand Avenue. In this area ground water is used chiefly for refrigeration 

in storing neat and dairy products. The "industrial area" is in the 

vicinity of the West and Mill Rivers, where ground water is used chiefly 

for manufacturing purposes.

The table shows that the ground-water levels in all observation wells 

in New Haven declined to the lowest stage on record at some time in the 

latter part of 1941. The fluctuations of ground-water levels in the 

Residential area are chiefly the result of precipitation, although changes 

in water level may have resulted from the scattered pumpage in this area

or the pumpage in nearby areas. Ground-water levels in all wells in this

area reached the lowest observed stage in December 1941. During the cooling 

season in June, July, and August of each year, ground-water levels in the 

Air-conditioning area are affected, in large part, by the punping in this 

area. The lowest observed water levels in this area occurred on August 27, 

1?41, near the end of the air-conditioning pumping season. The fluctuations 

of ground-water levels in the Cold-storage area are, in part, the result 

of changes in rate of pumping in this area, and these, in turn, are 

determined chiefly by the air temperature. The lowest observed water levels 

in this area occurred in the fall, at about the end of the heavy pumping 

season. About this time relatively cool weather permitted a large 

reduction in the rate of pumping for refrigeration purposes, and 

consequently, there was some recovery in the water levels. The groundwater fluctuations in the Industrial area are affected, in large part, by 

changes in rate of industrial pumping in the area. The lowest observed 

water levels in this area occurred during the last three months of the 

year, when industrial pumping in New Haven usually reaches a maximum.

It will be noted from the table above that only one well had a net 

rise of water level during the year. This well is located at an industrial 

plant in the Mill River area, and the water level in it is affected by 

efasngeT3~ln rate of -ptnnping from wwlls at this plant.
10 "WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The precipitation at New Haven in 1941 was 36.74 inches, or about 12 

inches less than in 1940 and about 10 inches below normal. June was the 

only month during 1941 with precipitation appreciably above normal. The 

18-month period July 1940 to December 1941 was in general one of 

deficient precipitation. Furthermore, during the 7-month non-growing 

season, ending April 1941, the precipitation was more than six inches below 

normal. As a result of this deficiency, little or no ground-water recharge 

occurred in the non-growing season, the period most favorable for recharge 

during normal years. The deficiency and unfavorable distribution of 

precipitation are, in part, the cause of the low water levels in New Haven 

in 1941.

During the 3-year period 1939 to 1941, the average daily withdrawal 

of ground water in the Residential area, based on estimates by plant 

engineers, was about 200,000 gallons. In the Air-conditioning area the 

average withdrawal of ground water was about 180,000 gallons a day in 1939 

and about 320,000 gallons a day in 1940. This increase resulted from the 

operation of new wells at one plant. Estimates and records of pumping in 

this area for the first half of 1941 indicate that the total annual withdrawal-will exceed that of 1940. The average withdrawal of ground water 

in the Cold-storage area for the 3-year period 1939 to 1941 is estimated 

to be 620,000 gallons a day. In the Industrial area the average daily 

withdrawal of ground water was 2,720,000 gallons in 1939 and 2,570,000 

gallons in 1940. The available records and estimates of pumpage for the 

first half of 1941 indicate that the annual withdrawal of ground water in 

this area may exceed that of 1940.

Except in the Residential area, relatively large withdrawals of ground 

water are made at a few individual plants. In the Air-conditioning area, 

about one-half of the total withdrawal is pumped at a single plant. In 

the Cold-storage area, more than two-thirds of the total withdrawal is 

pumped at a single plant. In the Industrial area, about two-thirds of tha 

total withdrawal is pumped at five plants located along a narrow stretch 

of the Mill River less than a mile long.
CONNECTICUT 11

The studies of changes in salinity of ground water based on monthly 

samples have not progressed far enough to warrant conclusions as to 

progressive changes that may be taking place. However, the records, which 

cover only the last half of 1941, show that seasonal changes are taking 

place. The relation of these changes to other hydrologic factors will not 

become apparent until records for at least a year or more are available. 

Most of the samples of water collected for chloride determination are taken 

from plants in the Cold-storage and Industrial areas, where salt water 

encroachment is taking place. About half of the plants sampled in the 

Cold-storage area use water having a chloride content of more than 100 

parts per million. The records available for this area indicate that the 

chloride content ranges from about 40 parts per million to more than 

1,600 parts per million. The records so far available for the Industrial 

area indicate a range in chloride content from about 25 parts per million 

to more than 3,000 parts per million.

In the following tables no descriptive headings are given for those 

observation wells for which the last published heading still applies.

INDIANA 

By C. L. McGuinness

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Indiana was continued in 1941 in cooperation between the Federal Geological 

Survey and the Division of Geology of the Indiana State Department of Conservation. Work was also continued on the detailed investigation of the

ground-water resources of the Indianapolis area, begun in 1938.

/ 

In 1941 water-level measurements were begun or resumed in several

wells in the State, but measurements were discontinued in a larger number, 

owing principally to curtailment of the activities of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Measurements were made at least once in 71 wells. At the end 

of the year periodic measurements were being made in about 50 wells. 

Measurements are made through the cooperation of the State Department of 

Conservation, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and municipal water departments. Measurements were made twice a month in most of the wells, once a 

month or once a week in a few wells, and daily in one well in Indianapolis. 

About 1,500 individual measurements were made in 1941. Two float-type 

automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on wells in Indianapolis 

during the year.

Essentially complete records of water levels were obtained for 51 

wells in 1941, including 14 wells in Marion County, in which Indianapolis 

is situated. The observation wells in Marion County are affected by heavy 

pumping from wells in the Indianapolis area for industrial, air conditioning, and municipal purposes. The following wells are also affected by 

pumping, either from nearby wells or from the wells themselves: No. 1 in 

DeKalb County, No. 2 in Hamilton County, No. 1 in Henry County, No. 1 in 

Howard County, No. 1 in Madison County, No. 1 in Porter County, No. 1 in 

St. Joseph County, Nos. 1, 2, and 5 in Starke .County, and No. 1 in White 

County. However, the effects of pumping are not as apparent in these wells 

as in the wells in Marion County, and the major trends in the fluctuations

are largely related to variations in precipitation. The water level in 

2O
INDIANA 21

well 1, Clay County, has been affected by lowering of the water level in a 

nearby artificial lake, which was partially drained to permit work on the 

dam. The water level in well 3 in Pulton County is affected by the position of the water level in a raceway only a few feet away. In the remaining wells the fluctuations in water levels are largely or wholly related 

to changes in natural conditions, principally to variations in the amount 

and distribution of precipitation.

In the 37 wells in counties other than Marion County the water levels 

averaged 0.36 "foot higher on January 1, 1942, than on January 1, 1941, 

about 0.7 foot higher than on January 1, 1940, about 0.7 foot lower than 

on January 1, 1939, and about 1.4 feet lower than on January 1, 1938.

The average precipitation in the State during 1941 was 32.66 inches, 

which-was 7.02 inches below normal. The precipitation was below normal in 

each month except in June, when it was 1.77 inches above normal, and in 

October, when it was 4.03 inches above normal. The average precipitation 

during 1941 in the different parts of "the State was as follows: Northern 

part, 31.69 inches, or 4.06 inches below normal; central part, 52.86 inches, 

or 7.00 inches below normal; southern part, 33.43 inches, or 9.99 inches below normal.

Because of the deficient and irregularly distributed precipitation

.during the spring of 1941, the hydrographs of many of the wells that ordinarily show pronounced seasonal fluctuations in water level had only low 

and irregular spring peaks, and the high stages in individual wells occurred 

as early as January and as late as June. The high stages of 1941 in the 

37 wells outside Marion County averaged 1.38 feet lower than in 1940 and 

about 3.5 feet lower than in 1939. Following the high stages there were 

pronounced declines in water level in most of the wells. The low stages in 

individual wells were reached from late in August to December, but in many 

wells they occurred late in September or in October. On the whole, the 

low stages were better defined than the high stages. In a few wells the 

water levels were still declining at the end of the year, but in most wells 

the water levels had recovered considerably before the end of the year.

In 17 of the 37 wells outside Marion County the lowest water levels 

for the period of record were reached during the fall of 1941. In the 37 

wells the fall low stages averaged about 0.1 foot lower than in 1940 and 

about 0.83 foot lower than in 1939.
22 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The severe drought of the summer of 1941 was broken by heavy rains in 

October. A large part of the rain water entered the ground, which was very 

dry, and the direct surface runoff was relatively small. Previous to the 

rains the soil had become so dry that most of the rain that entered the 

soil was retained by it. However, there was a small amount of ground-water 

recharge in most if not all parts of the State, and this was principally 

responsible for the average net rise in ground-water levels between January 1, 1941, and January 1, 1942. However, owing to the considerable 

average net declines in water level during the calendar years 1938 and 

1939, the water levels on January 1, 1942, were still somewhat below the 

recorded average for this date, and abundant precipitation during the 

spring of 1942 would be necessary to restore them to normal.

The water levels in the observation wells in Marion County are affected not only by variations in precipitation but also by the heavy and increasing punpage from wells in the Indianapolis area. The increase in 

pumpage during the last few years has been largs. The average pumpage in 

the area during 1938 was probably between 30 and 35 million gallons a day; 

in 1941 it was more than 50 million gallons a day. The effects of the increase in pumpage are apparent in all the wells, and are especially apparent in wells 2 and 3, which are situated in areas of heavy pumping.

The average net declines in water level in the observation wells in 

Marion County during the calendar years 1938 and 1939 were roughly comparable to the average net declines in the wells in other parts of the State 

that is, about 0.7 foot in 1938 and about 1.5 feet in 1939. During the 

calendar years 1940 and 1941, however, while the wells in other parts of 

the State were showing successive average net rises of 0.32 foot and 0.36 

foot, the wells in Marion County showed successive average net declines of 

2.12 and 1.47 feet. In 1941 the lowest stages of record were reached in 

11 of the 14 wells in Marion County for which essentially complete records 

were obtained. Regular measurements in well 6 were discontinued in June 

1941, but the water level was at the lowest stage of record at the time of 

the last regular measurement.
INDIANA 23

The records for several of the wells in Marion County extend back only 

to 1938 or 1939. The 3 wells In which the lowest stages of record were not 

reached in 1941, wells 13, 14, and 15,, are situated at the Indianapolis 

Sanitation Plant, and are measured by personnel of the plant. Measurements 

were begun in 1928 in well 13 and in 1929 in wells 14 and 15. The lowest 

stage of record occurred in 1928 in well 13, and in 1930 in well 14. In 

well 15 the lowest stage was reached in 1929 and equaled in 1930.

In the following pages the wells are listed by counties. Descriptions 

are given for only those wells whose descriptions do not appear in WaterSupply Papers 317, 840, 845, 886, or 906. The references in parentheses 

following the well numbers are to the previous water-supply papers containing descriptive material on the wells. Names of the observers are given 

for each well or group of wells, except for wells in which all measurements 

during 1941 were made by the writer.

The water level in well 1 stood higher during the period covered by the

The water level In well 1 has trended downward since 1938, when the

highest stages of record were reached. The lowest previous stages of 

record occurred In 1936, but In 1941 the water level generally stood at 

lower stages than at equivalent times In 1936, although the stage reached 

In July 1936 Is still the lowest single stage of record. The downward 

trend Is probably due In part to Increases In pumpage and in part to lessened ground-water- recharge during the years followln'g 1938.

The water level In well 1 waTs at the highest stages of record during 

the springs of 1938 and 1939. It was several feet lower during the springs 

of 1940 and 1941, and declined during the falls of those years to stages 

about as low as that of the fall of 1936, the previous lowest stage of 

record. These declines are probably due In part to Increased pumpage and 

In part to lessened recharge during 1940 and 1941.

Since 1935 periodic measurements of water level have been made in a 

well, designated as well 1, of the Indianapolis Water Co. The water level 

in well 1, which penetrates limestone, is affected by pumping from nearby 

wells penetrating limestone in the Riverside field of the Indianapolis 

Water Co., referred to below as "rock wells". These are subdivided into 

"motor wells" and "air wells", depending upon their pumping equipment. Th 

distances of these wells from well 1 range from about 400 to about 4,500 

feet. The water level in well 1 is also affected by pumping from three 

wells penetrating gravel at the White River Filtration Plant of the Indian 

apolis Water Co., referred to below as "gravel wells". These wells are 

from about 3,500 to abou't 4,000 feet east of well 1. Three similar gravel 

wells were drilled near the older gravel wells in 1941, but these were 

pumped only a few times during the year.

The water level in well 1 is affected most strongly by pumping from 

the motor wells, which are nearest, next most strongly by the air wells,

yhicfr are more distant, and least strongly by the gravel wells.__________

a Lowest water level of record.

30 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Marion County Continued.

Pumping the three older gravel wells generally causes a decline in 

water level in well 1 of about 2 feet. During 1941 there were several 

short periods when the new gravel wells were pumped with the three older 

gravel wells, causing a decline in water level in well 1 of about 4 feet.

Pumping the air wells alone causes a decline in water level in well 1 

of about 4 to G feet. When the motor wells are pumped with the air wells 

the decline in water level in well 1 is in the neighborhood of 15 to 18 

feet. When both air and motor wells are pumping the additional decline in 

water level in well 1 caused by pumping the three older gravel wells is 

difficult to detect because of changes in the pumping regime of the rock 

wells, but it is apparently still in the neighborhood of 2 feet.

During 1941 a total of 627,210,000 gallons was pumped from the rock 

wells in the Riverside field, as compared with 431,280,000 and 101,760,000 

gallons in 1940 and 1939, respectively. During 1941 a total of 440,610,000 

gallons was pumped from the gravel wells at the White River Filtration 

Plant, as compared with 989,000,000 and 228,330,000 gallons in 1940 and 1939, 

respectively.

Inasmuch as the pumping of the gravel wells affects the water level 

in well 1, which penetrates limestone, and in the light of other available 

information concerning the geologic conditions in the area, It is believed 

that in the area of the Riverside well field and the White River Filtration 

Plant the gravels and limestone constitute essentially a single groundwater reservoir. Thus, it may be said that the total quantity of water 

pumped from the reservoir through wells of the Indianapolis Water Co. increased from 330,090,000 gallons in 1939 to 1,420,280,000 gallons in 1940, 

then decreased to 1,067,820,000 gallons in 1941. Nevertheless, the water 

level In well 1 trended somewhat lower in 1941 than In 1940. This Is due 

in part to the general increase in Industrial pumpage .of ground water in 

the Indianapolis area from 1940 to 1941, and to the low ground-water recharge during the spring of 1941. It is also possibly due In part to the 

fact that in 1941 more of the pumpage of the Indianapolis Water Co. was 

derived from the rock wells and less from the gravel wells than in 1940.
INDIANA 31

Marion County Continued.

In the following table references are made to days when the various 

wells of the Indianapolis Water Co. were -being pumped. On some of the days 

for which pumping is shown it is obvious from the position of the water 

level in well 1 that the wells were not being pumped when the measurement 

was made, but on most days for which pumping is shown the wells were being 

pumped at the time of the measurement, and this is reflected-in the water 

level in well 1.

Except for marked troughs during periods of pumping in 1936, 1937, 

and 1941, the hydrograph of well 1 shows little fluctuation. If fluctudtions during periods of pumping are disregarded, the total range of fluctuation during the period of record is only about 2 feet. The trend was 

generally downward from the beginning of the record in 1935 to the beginning of 1938, upward from the beginning of 1938 to the beginning of 1940, 

and downward from the beginning of 1940 to the end of 1941.

The hydrograph of well 1 shows definite peaks in the spring and 

troughs in the fall, but the annual range of fluctuation is generally only 

about 4 feet, and there have been no large annual changes in water level 

during the period of record. There has been a slight downward trend since 

1939, and the stages during 1941 were as a whole the lowest of record. 

This trend is probably due in part to the increases in pumpage and in part 

to lessened recharge during 1940 and 1941.

The average dally municipal pumpage at Monon during the last quarter 

of 1941 was 60,000 gallons. This Is somewhat less than the pumpage during 

the last part of 1955 and first part of 1956. However, the water level 

was generally lower during the period of record In 1941 than in 1955 and 

1956, and this is probably due in large part to lessened ground-water recharge during 1940 and 1941.

MASSACHUSETTS ,

By M. L. Brashears, Jr.

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts was 

continued in 1941 by "the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Massachusetts Department of Public Works. Periodic observations of 

ground-water levels were made in well's in Middlesex and Worcester Counties 

during the entire year. Regular weekly water-level measurements were made 

at 34 wells in the vicinity of Lowell and in the Aberjona Valley. During 

the year, measurements of water level were discontinued at two wells that 

had been measured in 1940. During 1941, three automatic water-stage 

recorders were operated continuously at Leominater, Lowell, and Winchendon. 

A total of about 1,800 individual water-level measurements was made during 

the year.

A descriptive heading was given for each observation well In .WaterSupply Papers 886 and 906. In the present report, descriptive data are 

given only for those observation wells at which some change was made in

1941.

During September, a paper on the Massachusetts ground-water project 

was presented at the annual meeting of the- New England Water Works Associ-

!/

ation at Boston, Mass. This paper briefly describes the nature of the 

ground-water work being carried on, the progress made since the start of 

the cooperative investigation in 1938, and the ground-water conditions in 

the Lowell and Aberjona Valley areas.

The following table summarizes data pertaining to ground-water levels 

in Massachusetts.

As shown in the above table, most of the observation wells in 

Massachusetts showed a net decline of water level during 1941. In general, 

the net decline during the year was greatest in wells located relatively 

distant from areas of considerable pumping. It will be noted that although 

three of the wells showed a net rise during the year^ the amount of rise 

was quite small. A study of the records indicates that this net rise was 

chiefly the result of recharge from rain that fell about the last half of 

December 1941.

The low stage of ground-water levels during 1941 is to a considerable 

extent the result of deficient precipitation. The precipitation in the 

area has been considerably below normal during each year since water-level 

measurements were first made in 1939. In 1941, the precipitation was about 

6 inches less than in 1940.

MICHIGAN

By C. L. McGuinness, Norman Billings, and 0. P. Polndexter

The program of water-level measurements In observation wells In 

Michigan (see Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, and 906), begun 

in 1932 in cooperation between the Geological Survey Division of the 

Michigan Department of Conservation and the Federal Geological Survey, was 

continued in 1941. Areas with observation wells are shown in figure 3, 

page 52, Water-Supply Paper 906. Measurements were made at least once in 

100 wells in forested areas in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. 

At the end of the year, monthly measurements of water levels, were being 

made in 51 wells in these areas. Semimonthly measurements had been made 

in the 51 wells until the end of July. Measurements in wells in Montmorency, 

Presque Isle, and Cheboygan Counties were discontinued at the end of July. 

Only three measurements were made in these wells during the year. Measurements were made once during the year in 5 wells in Charlevoix County, in 

15 wells in Grand Traverse County, and in 6 wells in Wexford County. Regular measurements in these wells were discontinued in 1938. A total of 

about 1,000 individual measurements of water level was made in the wells 

in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula during 1941. Most of the 

measurements were made by Norman Billings, junior geologist in the Michigan 

State Civilian Conservation Corps until October 1 and hydrogeologist of the 

Michigan Geological Survey Division after that date. Mr. Billings was in 

direct charge of the mter-level measurements during the year, under the 

supervision of 0. P. Poindexter, associate geologist in the Michigan Geological Survey Division.

At the end of 1941 the water levels in the 51 wells in the northern 

part of the Lower Peninsula stood at an average stage higher than at the 

end-of any previous year during the period beginning in 1935. In December 

1941 the average stage in the 51 wells was 0.36 foot higher than In Decem- 

^ber 1940, when the previous highest year-end average stage was reached, and 

0.77 foot higher than the average December stage during the period beginning 

in 1935. "' _ 57
58 WATER LEVELS AND -ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The float-type automatic water-stage recorder that was Installed In 

November 1934 on a well at the Forest Fire Experiment Station at Roscommon 

was In operation throughout the year. Weekly water levels In this well in 

1941, measured when the recorder charts were changed, are given In this 

report.

The water level In the Roscommon recorder well reached the lowest 

summer stage of 1940 on August 29, when it was about 7.6 feet below the 

measuring point. As the result of a heavy rain on that date the water level 

began to recover and by September 5 had reached a stage of about 7.1 feet 

below the measuring point. The water level then continued to rise slowly 

and Irregularly during the remainder of the year and was at a stage of 

about 6.75 feet below the measuring point on December 31, 1940. The rise 

continued for a short time after the beginning of 1941, and on January 4, 

1941, the water level reached a stage of 6.69 feet below the measuring 

point. The usual Irregular but persistent late winter decline then began 

and continued until late In March, culminating on March 22 in a low stage 

of 7.20 feet below the measuring point. The water level then rose slowly 

as the result of daily thaws, reaching a stage of 7.13 feet below the 

aneasuring point on March 31. The water level then began to rise more 

rapidly and reached a stage of 5.94 feet below the measuring point on 

April 26, the highest stage of the year. The water level then began to 

decline, and continued to decline almost uninterruptedly until late in 

September, when the water level stayed at the lowest stage of the year, 

8.27 feet below the measuring point, from September 24 to 30. There were 

two small rises due to rainfall before the lowest stage was reached, one 

from 8..20 to 8.05 feet below the measuring point during the period August 

30-31, and one from 8.20 to 8.01 feet below the measuring point during the 

period September 8-13. From September 30 to October 13 the water level 

recovered slowly, reaching a stage of 8.08 feet below the measuring point 

on October 13. Heavy rains then resulted in a rapid rise from 8.08 to 

about 7.3 feet below the measuring point on October 14, and a slower rise 

to about 6.4 feet below the measuring point on November 26. The water 

ievel then declined slowly and irregularly, and at the end of the year was 

labout 6.7 feet below the measuring point.
MICHIGAN 59

The high stage of April 1941 was the third highest stage of record, 

those of 1938 and 1937 ranking first and second, respectively. However, 

the high stage of 1941 lasted much longer than the high stage of 1937 (see 

Water-Supply Paper 886, p. 263). The low stage of September 1941 was the 

third lowest stage of record, those of 1935 and 1936 ranking lowest and 

next lowest, respectively. The range in fluctuation during 1941 was 2.3? 

feet, nearly as large as that of 1938, which was the largest annual range 

in fluctuation during the period of record.

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in municipalities in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula was continued in 1941. 

About 1,150 individual measurements were made in these wells during the 

year, including daily measurements in well Washtenaw 1 and about 150 

measurements each in wells Oakland 1, 2, and 3. Only selected measurements 

are included in this report for wells Washtenaw 1 and Oakland 1, 2, and 3.

Descriptions of most of the observation wells in the northern part of 

the Lower Peninsula are contained on pages 125 to 182 of Water-Supply Paper

60 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Calhoun County Continued.

The average daily pumpage from wells at the Verona Pumping Station 

during 1941 was about 5.75 million gallons, about 1.2 million gallons a day 

more than In 1940. The rate of pumping varied widely, ranging from about 

650,000 gallons a day in March, when the Goguac Pumping Station produced 

most of the water for the public supply of Battle Creek, to about 6.5 

million gallons a day in August, when the Goguac station was shut down.

Although interpretation of the fluctuations In water level in well 1 

Is made difficult by the variable conditions of pumping from wells at the 

Verona station, the records show that the water level stood somewhat higher 

during most of 1941 than during equivalent periods in 1940, despite the 

fact that pumpage from wells at the station In 1941 averaged about 1.2 

million gallons a day more than in 1940. During the fall of 1941 the water 

level stood from 1 to 2 feet lower than during the fall of 1940, but the 

pumpage during the fall of 1941 averaged about 2.25 million gallons a day 

more than In 1940. At Battle Creek there was an excess in precipitation of 

a little more than 6 Inches during the two years, and It Is probable that 

this Is largely responsible for the recovery in water level In well 1. 

Differences in the distribution of pumpage in the well field may also account for some of the rise in water level.

Armstrong test well 3 at Goguac Pumping Station of city waterworks. 

Measurements made by A. M. Stannard and C. A. Bunce, Goguac Pumping Station.

*

The average daily pumpage from wells at the Goguac Pumping Station 

during 1941 was about 1.15 million gallons, about 0.4 million gallons a day 

less than in 1940. Little water was pumped in June, July, and October, and 

none In August and September. Although it is difficult to Interpret changes 

in water level In well 2 because of changes in pumping from wells at the 

station, the water level apparently stood slightly higher during the first 

part of 1941 than during the same period In 1940, although the total pumpage during the first 5 months of 1941 averaged about 0.4 million gallons a 

day more than during the same period in 1940. This rise was obscured later 

by the larger, rise resulting from the great reduction In pumpage that began 

in June. At the end of the year the water level in well 2 stood lower than 

at the end of 1940, but this Is probably due to the fact that some water 

was being pumped from supply well 3, which is only 85 feet from the observation well. Supply well 3 was not pumped during 1940 or the first part of 

1941.

All wells at station shut down.

Measurements in wells 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 were made by members of 

the Mechanical Engineering Department, Board of Water and Electric Light 

Commissioners, Lansing.

In 1941 the average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Lansing was 

about 10.8 million gallons, as compared with an average daily pumpage of 

about 9.4 million gallons in 1940. The average daily pumpage in July 1941, 

the month of heaviest pumping during the year, was about 14.2 million 

gallons, as compared with about 10.6 million gallons in July 1940.

The water levels in wells 3 and 4 trended from a foot to several feet 

higher during 1941 than during 1940, largely because less water was pumped 

in 1941 than in 1940 from wells of the P. A. and P. M. groups. Except for 

the wells in the Pennsylvania Avenue field itself, the P. A. and P. M. 

wells affect wells 3 and 4 most strongly.

The water levels in wells 6 and 7 showed considerable net declines 

from 1940 to 1941. These declines were largely due to the placing in 

service during the latter part of 1941 of 10 new wells in 2 groups, known 

as the C. and M. groups. The new wells are situated on a line running 

approximately east and west, cutting across a line between wells 6 and 7. 

The total net decline in well 6 was about 13 feet; that in well 7 was about 

22 feet.

The water level in well 8 showed an average net decline of about 2 

feet from 1940 to 1941. No water was pumped at the Townsend Street station 

during 1941. Well 8 is so situated that the water level is affected more 

by the general changes in the water-bearing formation and less by the pump-i 

ing of individual groups of wells than are the other observation wells.

Jackson County

Jackson 1. (Water-Supply Paper 886, p.273.) City of Jackson. Well 

5i§- (formerly well 19), between supply wells 5 and ,6 and about 1,100 feet 

northeast of main building of pumping station of city waterworks. Measurements made by members of the city water department, D. J. Stellingworth, 

Superintendent of Water Supply. Measurements discontinued and well placed 

in service after May 26, 1941.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Jackson during the 

first 5 months of 1941 was about 8.05 million gallons, an average of about 

850,000 gallons a day more than in 1940. The water level in well 1 during 

this period trended 3 to 4 feet lower than in 1940. It is probable that 

most of this decline was due to the increase in pumping from municipal 

wells, but there was probably also an increase in pumping from private industrial wells in Jackson during the year.

Kalamazoo 3. (Water-Supply Paper 886, p. 273; Water-Supply Paper 906, 

p. 62.) City of Kalamazoo. At Balch Street pumping station of city waterworks, between supply wells 1 and 2.

Measurements were made by Ployd Rothwell and Leon Simkins, engineers, 

pumping station, city waterworks, Leo Witters, superintendent.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Kalamazoo during 

1941 was about 6.2 million gallons, about 0.55 million gallons a day more 

than in 1940. The average daily pumpage during 1941 ranged from about 4.6 

million gallons in March to about 8.5 million gallons in August.

The water levels in wells 1, 2, and 3 reached the lowest stages of 

record during July, August, and September 1941. The lowest recorded stages 

were on Aug. 3. The previous lowest stages of record had been reached in 

well 3, and probably also in wells 1 and 2, in 1931. In well 3 the lowest 

stage of 1941 was about 1.65 feet lower than the lowest stage of 1931 and 

about 2.75 feet lower than the lowest stage of 1940, which was the third 

lowest stage of record. However, at the end of 1941 the water levels in 

wells 1, 2, and 3 averaged nearly a foot higher than at the end of 1940, 

although the pumpage during the last three months of 1941 was about the 

same as during the last three months of 1940. The recovery in water levels 

was probably largely due to the heavy rainfall in October 1941.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Kalamazoo in 1931 

was about 4.85 million gallons, yet the water level in well 3 reached a 

lower stage during 1931 than during 1940, when the average da,ily pumpage 

was about 5.65 million gallons. This indicates that the low water level of 

1931 was due largely to the effects of the extremely severe drought of 1930. 

The low water levels of 1940 and 1941 were probably largely due to the 

effects of increased pumping. The average daily pumpage during the period 

preceding the low stage of 1940 was about 6.5 million gallons, and during 

the equivalent period in 1941 it was about 7.75 million gallons. This increase could account in large part for the fact that the average low stage 

of 1941 in wells 1, 2, and 3 was some 3 feet lower than the average low 

stage of 1940.

Oakland County

Oakland 1. (Water-Supply Paper 086, p. 276). City of Pontiac. Well 

6 at Walnut Street pumping station, about 200 feet west of supply well 1.

Oakland 2. (Water-Supply Paper 886, p. 276). City of Pontiac. Well 

21 in V\falnut Street well group, about 40 feet northwest of supply well 3.

Oakland 3. (Water-Supply Paper 886, -p. 276). City of Pontiac. Just 

outside pump house of East Boulevard supply well, near intersection of 

East Boulevard and Mt. Clemens Street.

Measurements in wells 1, 2, and 3 were made by members of the Department of V/ater Supply, Pontiac, H. L. Monroe, superintendent, H. W. MacDuff, 

chief engineer.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Pontiac during 1941 

ranged from about 6.75 million gallons in March to about 9.4 million 

gallons in July and averaged about 7.7 million gallons. Of this, an average of about 3.3 million gallons a day was pumped from wella of the central 

or Walnut Street group, near which observation wells 1 and 2 are situated. 

A new supply well, No. 4, was added to the'group during the year. An average of about 4.4 million gallons a day was pumped from wells at outlying 

stations.

The average daily pumpage from all municipal wells in 1940 was about 

6.75 million gallons, of which an average of about 3.65 million gallons a 

day was pumped from wells of the Walnut Street group and an average of 

about 3.1 million gallons a day from outlying wells. Thus, although the 

average daily pucipage increased nearly 1 million gallons a day from 1940 to 

1941, the punpage from wells of the Walnut Street group decreased somewhat.

a Water level affected by impounding of water behind new dam on outlet of Avalon Lake, about 400 feet east of well.
MICHIGAN 67

Oakland County Continued.

The pumpage from wells of the Walnut Street group was fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, ranging from about 2.9 million galiens a day 

in May to about 3.75 million gallons a day in October.

In 1941 no water was pumped at the East Boulevard station during the 

period January-March, inclusive, and during December. A total of 173,500,000 

gallons was pumped during the period April-November, inclusive, and the 

average daily pumpage ranged from about 235,000 gallons in April to about 

1,120,000 gallons in September. The total pumpage during the previous year 

was 101,100,000 gallons, all of which was pumped during the period AprilDecember 1940, inclusive.

During 1941 the water levels in wells 1 and 2 trended on the average 

about 6 or 7 feet lower than during 1940, despite the fact that the pumpage from wells of the Walnut Street group averaged about 350,000 gallons a 

day less than in 1940. This is probably due partly to the increased pumpage from outlying wells, partly to deficiencies in precipitation during 

the spring of 1941, partly to the effect of the new well at the Walnut 

Street station, and possibly in part to increased pumpage from private industrial wells in Pontiac.

The water level in well 3 trended on the average 9 or 10 feet lower 

than in 1940. A considerable part of this decline is doubtless due to the 

increased pumpage from the East Boulevard supply well, but deficiencies in 

precipitation and the increased pumping in the area were probably also 

partly responsible.

St. Joseph County

St. Joseph 1. (Water-Supply Paper 886, p. 279.) City of Three Rivers, 

about 350 feet south of West Michigan Street on island at confluence of 

St. Joseph River and Rock River. Measurements made by A. G. Walls, pumping 

station operator, city waterworks, 0. 0. Johnson, city manager, city of 

Three Rivers.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Three Rivers during 

1941 was about 445,000 gallons, about 25,000 gallons a day less than in 

1940. Despite the reduction in pumpage, the water level in well 1 trended 

an average of a few tenths of a foot lower during 1941 than during 1940. 

It is probable that deficiencies in precipitation during the spring of 1940 

and the spring of 1941 are partly responsible for this decline, but there 

may also have been some increase in pumping from private wells in the city 

during 1941.

Washtenaw County

Washtenaw 1. (Water-Supply Paper 906, p. 67). City of Ann Arbor, 

200 feet south of main building of Steere Farm Pumping Station of city 

waterworks. Measurements made by members of Ann Arbor Water Department, 

H. H. Caswell, manager.

The average daily pumpage from wells at the Steere Farm Pumping Station 

in 1941 was 1.27 million gallons, which compares with 1.68 million gallons 

in 1940. The monthly pumpage during 1941 ranged from 330,000% gallons in , 

February, when the station was operated for only a few hours, to 64.34 

million gallons in August, an average of about 2.08 million gallons a day. 

The daily pumpage during 1940 ranged from about 1.26 million gallons in 

January to about 2.11 million gallons in August. The lowest water levels 

reached in well 1 in 1941 averaged about 1.1 feet higher than in the corresponding period in 1940. The lowest level reached in June 1941 was a few 

hundredths of a foot lower than the lowest level reached in June 1940. 

The lowest levels reached during the other months of 1941 were higher than 

the lowest levels reached in the corresponding months in 1940. It is probable that the recovery in water level in well 1 during 1941 was due almost 

entirely to the reduction in pumping from wells at the Steere Farm Pumping 

Station,since the precipitation at Ann. Arbor during 1941 was 2.28 inches 

below normal and 4.06 inches less than in 1940.

NEW JERSEY 

By H. C. Barksdale and E. J. Schaefer

The investigation of the ground-water resources of New Jersey was 

continued during 1941 under a cooperative agreement between the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, and the New Jersey State 

Water Policy Commission. Most of the measurements included in this report 

were otitained in connection with quantitative studies being made in 

selected areas within the State. An outline map showing these areas and 

giving the names of the counties was included in an earlier report. (See 

Water-Supply Paper 886.)

At the end of the year a total of 209 observation wells were being 

measured. Some were measured monthly, some biweekly, some weekly, and one 

at least twice a day. Continuous records of water levels in 49 wells were 

obtained by means of water-stage recorders. Of this number, 42 were the 

property of the State or Federal Government and V were owned by municipalities, water-supply companies, or industries. Continuous records of water 

levels in two or three wells in the State are believed to be available if

studies should be extended to these areas. The water-stage recorders on

» 

these wells are owned by private water companies and are operated without

any assistance or supervision from this office.

The records of wells contained in this report are arranged alphabetically by counties. For cross reference with the earlier reports in this 

series, wherein they were arranged by the names of the localities in which 

the studies were being made, this name is also 'given in the heading. A 

detailed description is given for each well that has not heretofore been 

published in one of the reports of this series. For wells that have already 

been published reference is made to the report in which the description 

was published. For these wells, only such descriptive data is included as . 

is of immediate value in the interpretation of the record or represents new 

data or changed conditions at the well. Wherever a satisfactory determination of the altitude of the measuring point of a well has been made the water 

level is given with reference to mean sea level. Where this has not been

done, the water level is given in depth below the measuring point.

73
74 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

For records of water levels obtained by tape measurements the date of 

measurement and the water level are given. For records obtained by means 

of water-level recorders a single daily water level is given. An attempt 

has been made, however, to give the most significant daily level for each 

well. For wells not having large fluctuations of water level, the water 

level at the end of the day is given. For wells having large daily fluctuations of water level due to nearby pumping or tidal effect, the lowest 

water level for each day is given. An exception is made In the case of 

well 36.23.1.9.6. (Longport well), Atlantic County, for which the average 

of the water levels corresponding to the two low and two high tides for 

each day is reported.

Most of the records included in this report are continuations of those 

given in previous reports of this series, but records of 60 wells are included in this report for the first time. All the additional wells are in 

two areas the Middlesex County or Runyon area and the Salem County area. 

In Middlesex County all the wells measured manually are now being reported, 

but a few wells on which water-stage recorders are maintained have not yet 

been included. In the Salem County area, where observations were begun in 

1940, all except 2 wells are included in this report.

On the whole the year 1941 was rather dry in New Jersey. Deficiencies 

in precipitation occurred in January, February, March, April, May, September, and October. Precipitation, however, was above normal in June, July, 

and August, and thus most crops matured satisfactorily. September 1941 

was the driest September of record for the State, with an average precipitation of only 0.28 inch. Only a little more than half the normal precipitation occurred in October, and although precipitation in November and December 

was on the whole somewhat above normal, the jear ended with a deficiency of 

8.49 inches.

The effect of the variation of precipitation during the year is well 

illustrated by the accompanying diagram, which shows the fluctuations of 

water level in the Morrell well during 1941 compared with the highest, 

lowest, and average levels during the previous years of record. The Morrell 

wellHs representative of conditions where the water table is relatively 

close to the surface and is believed to furnish a good index of the amount 

of water stored in the ground at any time, because the water level in it responds qu'Jckly to precipitation. During the winter months of 1941 much of
o 73

the precipitation was in the form of snow that melted slowly, and hence .a 

considerable portion of it was available for ground-water recharge and the 

water level in the well did not deviate much from the average for those 

months of the year. However, from early April to the end of May, the water 

level either equaled or reached record low stages for this tire of year. 

Precipitation during June and July was more than adequate to supply the 

needs of vegetation and some unseasonal recharge to the water table occurred. 

As a result record high water levels were occasionally recorded,although 

the declines between periods of heavy precipitation were rapid. On July 9 

the water level was at a record high, but by the end of the month it had 

dropped to about normal. This decline continued throughout August and 

September and on October 20 the water level was the lowest of record for 

this date. Precipitation in November and December caused the water level 

to rise considerably above the low level at the end of October, but it was 

not sufficient to bring the level above the lows recorded during the previous years of record until the middle of December when the water level 

rose abruptly and was above normal for a few days. By the end of the year 

it was again near a. record low level for that time of the year.

A group of shallow water-table wells in the Runyon area not affected 

by pumping for public and industrial purposes have been measured periodically since 1923 and averages of these measurements have been published in 

this series of reports for all the previous years of record. The lowest 

average for this group during 1941 was for the set of measurements obtained 

on October 16. This was the third lowest average for the period of record, 

the lowest being for the measurements made on September 24, 1932, , and the 

second lowest for those made on December 8, 1923.

New low water levels were established by 22 wells tapping the No. 3 

sand in or near the Perth Amboy TSater Department well field near Runyon. 

Records of 14 of these wells go back beyond October 1932. Pour have 

records dating back to'1924, and of these 3 were measured in 1923. The 

low levels were caused by a combination of drought and pumping of the Water 

Department wells.

All the No. 3 sand recorder-wells with continuous records for 1941 in 

the Duhernal well field near Spotswood reached new low stages for their 

period of record. Most of these records go back to 1938. These lows were 

due partly to the drought but particularly to increased pumping.
NEW JERSEY V7

Records of water levels in observation wells in Salem County, near 

Penns Grove, are reported for the first time in this report. These wells 

were constructed late in 1940 and early in 1941, in order to study the 

effect of the withdrawal of approximately 5 million gallons a day from 

three large but relatively shallow wells constructed in the water-table 

aquifer existing in that area. It has been possible to observe by measurements of these observation wells the gradual extension of the cones of 

depression of the pumped wells in addition to the amount of lowering of the 

water table within the cones of depression. Observation wells outside the 

area of influence of the pumped wells furnish a comparison between fluctuations due to natural causes and those due to pumping. In a period of 15 

to 18 months, the cone of depression of each of the pumped wells appears 

to have extended over a mile in some directions, but a smaller distance in 

other directions, presumably because of irregularities in the nature of 

the aquifer. The range of fluctuations of water levels of about 18 wells 

that are believed to be outside the area of influence averaged about 4.8 

feet approximately the same as the fluctuations of the Morrell well during the same period. The fluctuations in individual wells ranged from 1.5 

feet to 9.1 feet. In general, the wells on higher ground showed the widest 

fluctuations and those on lower ground near the stream channels fluctuated 

within a smaller range.

As usual the fluctuations of water levels in the artesian aquifers 

under observation in the State were caused prinarily by fluctuations of 

-pumpage from these aquifers. The formations are of wide extent and their 

intake areas are quite distant from the areas being studied,so that the 

water levels are not much affected by variations in precipitation. In the 

Atlantic City area, for example', the water levels were slightly lower than 

in 1940, due to a higher rate of pumpage. There was, however, the usual 

seasonal fluctuation of 20 to 30 feet between the winter season,Vhen the 

pumpage is low, and the summer season, when it is high.^

In the Runyon area two of the recorder wells tapping the No. 1 sand 

whei-4 the water in this sand is under artesian pressure reached new high 

levels for the period of record,due to a reduction in pumping from wells in 

this aquifer. This reduction in pumping was made to retard the advance of 

salt water into this sand and was possible largely because of further 

development of the No. 3 sand near Spotswood.

NEW YORK 

CENTRAL NEW YORK

By G. D. Freeman

Records of ground-water level in four wells in central New York were 

continued in 1941 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the Hew York State Department of Conservation in connection with a study 

which is being made to determine the effects of reforestation on stream 

flow. Previous records have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 

817, 840, 845, 886, and 906. ' In Water-Supply Paper 886 was included a 

brief description of the geological character of the areas in which these 

wells are located. It may be noted that none of these wells is affected 

by pumpage or other acts of man.

Of the four records included in this report, that of Shackham Brook 

.ell 1 best reflects the effect of climatological variations. The. year 

was generally characterized by rainfall deficiencies and warm temperatures,

and these conditions brought about the dominant feature, in the 1941 records ,

f

that of a long steady recession, beginning in the early part of April and 

lasting until the latter part of October, broken only by excessive rainfall 

in the latter part of July. By the early part of November levels were 

returned to approximately the same as in May, and the end of December found 

levels only slightly lower than at the beginning of the year, all wells 

showing small net losses.

Generally speaking, the levels during the summer averaged lower than 

in 1940, but did not reach as low stages as in the drought year of 1939, 

even though in July they were decidedly lower than in July 1939.

In addition to the four recording ground-water level gages, there are 

three wells read weekly, two being in the Shackham Brook area and one in 

the Sage Brook area.

All recorder wells are inspected weekly by local observers and at 

frequent intermediate times by an engineer of the Geological Survey. The 

records published herein are limited to the measurements made in the

recorded wells at the times of these weekly inspections.

East Homer Creek "..ell 1. Latitude 42°43'05", longitude 76°06'50n . 

On side of hill, about 70 feet to right of creek, and about 2.5 miles 

above gaging station in East Homer, Cortland County, and at approximate 

elevation of 1,460 feet above mean sea level. Dug well lined with 9-foot 

length of 18-inch corrugated galvanized iron pipe. Timber instrument 

shelter attached to casing. Readings made by means of tape and weight 

measuring device with reference point set to original datum by spirit 

leveling from reference bench mark in nearby embedded boulder. (Note; 

prior to Jan. 1, 1940, readings were distances in feet above an assumed 

datum. Subsequent to Jan. 1, 1940, readings are distances in feet below 

measuring point, which is 11.00 feet above the original datum. To put 

readings prior to 1940 on same basis as those for 1940 and subsequent 

years, subtract the figures from 11.00 feet). Highest level, 2.68, Jan. 4;

lowest level, 6,52, Oct. 4; 

level at well bottom, 11.0;

calendar year loss, 2,77 - 3.15 = 0.38 foot; 

level at land surface, 2.3.

132 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

LONG ISLAND

by R. M. Leggette

Ground-water studies on Long Island were continued during 1941 by the 

Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with-the New York State Water 

Power and Control Commission and with Nassau and Suffolk Counties. A part 

of these studies consisted of the regular -and systematic observations of 

ground-water levels in the western half of the island. At the end of the 

year, automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 18 observation 

wells. During the year, water-level measurements were made weekly In about 

115 observation wells and monthly in about 55 observation wells. A total 

of about 7,000 individual measurements of ground-water level were made 

during 1941.

The following table gives summary data pertaining to ground-water 

levels on Long Island.

During 1941 ground-water levels continued to decline progressively 

in Kings County, at the western end of Long Island, where excessive pumping 

has lowered the water level below sea level in an area of more than 45 

square miles. The above table shows that since the start of record the 

lowest observed water level in most of the observation wells in Kings 

County occurred In the latter part of 1941. Further evidence of a

a Based on Instrumental records of lowest daily water level.
12B WATEB LEVELS AMD ABTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

progressive decline of water levels in this area Is given in the table, 

which shows that the highest observed water level in most of the observation wells In the county occurred near the start of record.

In the other three Long Island counties, particularly in Nassau and 

Suffolk Counties, the major fluctuations of ground-water level in most 

areas are chiefly the result of differences in amount and distribution of 

precipitation. The above table indicates that the lowest observed water 

level in most wells that.have been measured for a period of about 10 years 

or more occurred late In 1932 or early in 1933. However, the water level 

in many of the wells in Queens County reached the lowest recorded stage in 

December 1941. The lowest observed water level In most of the wells with 

shorter periods of record occurred In the latter part of 1941, although the 

lowest observed stages in many wells occurred during the first part of 194D. 

The highest observed water level in most wells^in the three eastern Long 

Island counties occurred in the spring of 1939.

The following table shows the net change in water level during 1941 

in each of the observation wells that were measured throughout the yearj

It Is evident from the above table that there was a considerable 

decline of water level in most of the observation wells during 1941. This 

decline, in large part, was the result of the deficient precipitation during 1941, about seven inches below average. The water level in only five 

>

of the wells showed a net rise during 1941. All these wells are known to 

be affected by nearby pumping.

The accompanying diagram shows the relation between average groundwater level and precipitation on Long Island. The method used for determining the average ground-water level each month is described in the Long 

Island section in Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 886. The average 

ground-water level at the end of 1941 is based on measurements In 124 wells: 

80 in Nassau County, 26 in Queens County, and 18 in Suffolk County.

A comparison of the two graphs in the diagram shows a close relation 

between the major swings of precipitation and the resulting changes in 

ground-water level. This relation indicates that precipitation and the 

ground-water recharge resulting therefrom is a most important factor in 

determining changes in ground-water storage. It will be noted that the 

average ground-water level generally has an annual fluctuation that is not 

related to precipitation. For example, during the last half of both 1936 

and 1937,. ground-water levels declined in spite of more or less normal 

precipitation. This decline of ground-water levels during the summer and 

fall of each year is related to the growing season, when the use of water 

by plants is at a maximum. However, if the amount and distribution of 

rainfall during the growing season is sufficient to overcome the soil 

moisture deficiency resulting from plant growth, ground water recharge will 

take place and the water table will rise. These conditions existed during

CUMULATIVE DEPARTURE PROM

AVERAGE MONTHLY PRECIPITATION

(Based on average monthly precipitation

at New York City, and Setauket, Long Island.)

AVERAGE GROUND-WATER LEVEL 

(Water-table wells)

Average ground-water level on July 1, 1903 

was 14.8 feet above assumed datum.

Figure 4. Graphs showing cumulative departure from 10-year 

monthly precipitation and average ground-water level on 
HEW YORK 159

1938, as shown by the diagram. In general, the fluctuation of the water 

table is primarily a function of the amount and intensity of precipitation 

and the time of its occurrence with reference to the growing season.

It will be noted that the rainfall during the summer of 1941 was above 

average in June, July, and August. The amount of rainfall during each of 

these months (average at New York City and Setauket) was between 4-g and 5 

inches. However, the water table rose only during June. The rate of 

decline during July and August was about constant. Although the amount of 

rainfall during each of the three months was about the same, the distribution within each month was different. The total rainfall in June occurred 

almost entirely during two storms, one near the beginning of the month and 

the other near the middle of the month. These storms were sufficiently 

intense to produce ground-water recharge. In contrast, the rains during 

July and August were more or less scattered throughout the two months, with 

the result that little or no ground-water recharge took place. This difference in relation between rainfall and change in stage of the water table 

affords an example of the importance of considering differences in distribution or intensity of rainfall in addition to'differences in amount of 

rainfall.

The rate of decline of the water table was almost constant during the 

five-month period, July to November. It should be noted that although 

September 1941 was one of the driest months on record, the water table 

declined only about the same amount in September as in the preceding two 

months when the rainfall was above average.

The records of the water levels in the observation wells in previous 

years are given in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 845, 886, and 90 . In 

the present report each well is designated by an official number based on 

a well numbering system that is in general use on Long Island. Descriptive 

data are given only for those observation wells ir> which some change has 

been made in 1941, or for wells whose records were not given in Water-Supply 

Paper 906.

BUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES 

By P. H. Klaer, Jr.

The Investigation of ground-water conditions in Butler and Hamilton 

Counties, Ohio, begun In June 1938, was continued during 1941 by the 

Federal Geological Survey, In cooperation with the Boards of Commissioners 

of Butler and Hamilton Counties. The detailed field work of the Investigation was essentially completed by December 31, 1940, but measurements of 

water levels In selec/ted observation wells have been continued through 

December 31, 1941. It is hoped that the observation-well program will be 

continued through 1942. Descriptions of the investigation and measurements of water levels made In observation wells in 1938, 1939, and 1940 

are given on pages 370-383, Water-Supply Paper 845; pages 556-587, WaterSupply Paper 886; and on pages 173-209, Water-Supply Paper 906, respectively.

A complete report of the Investigation, including maps, graphs, and 

tables of well data and water analyses, was released in manuscript form In 

June 1941, accompanied by a mimeographed press release.=/ The report was 

released in this manner in order that It might be made available as soon as 

possible to interested persons. It Is planned to publish the report as a 

water-supply paper of the Geological Survey. A brief statement regarding 

water levels in observation wells during the first 6 months of 1941 was released as a mimeographed press release =-? in September 1941.

At the end of 1941, water levels were being measured at weekly intervals In 40 wells and at monthly intervals In 20 additional wells. During 

the year, about,3,500 measurements of water level were made by H. F. Plttman and C. L. Elllott, local observers for the Geological Survey. Measurements of water level in 31 wells were discontinued and measurements in 9

new wells were begun during the year. Fifteen automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on observation wells, many of them in areas of 

heavy pumping where fluctuations of water level are so great that individual measurements made at weekly intervals are of little value. Recorders 

were maintained throughout the year on 8 wells and for shorter periods on 

10 other wells. At the end of the year, recorders were in operation on 11 

wells in Butler and Hamilton Counties.

Precipitation in southwestern Ohio during 1941 was nearly 11 inches 

below normal. The year 1941 was the third driest year during the period 

of record since 1915 at the Abbe Observatory in Cincinnati. The precipitation was normal or above normal only in June, July, October,and December.

The greatest deficiencies in precipitation occurred during the first five

 

months of the year, which includes the period when most recharge to the

ground-water reservoir generally takes place. During the winter months 

the ground is usually frozen and there is little opportunity for infiltration, and during the summer months much of the water falling on the ground 

is lost by evaporation and transpiration.

Although the precipitation was several inches above normal in June and 

slightly above normal in July, only very little effect on water levels was 

noted except in the vicinity of Middletown. (See accompanying figure.) 

The precipitation was above normal in October and December, but recharge 

did not occur until the latter part of December, at which time the water 

levels in many wells began to rise.

Pumpage from wells in the area was greater during 1941 than in former 

years, largely because of increased industrial activity in connection with 

the war effort. It is estimated that the pumpage from wells in the whole 

area was 25 to 35 percent greater than during 1939 and 15 to 20 percent 

greater than during 1940. The total pumpage from the Mill Creek Valley 

and the Norwood trough during 1941 was .estimated to be 18,000,000 gallons 

a day.

In the Lockland area, where most of the ground water pumped is used 

for municipal purposes, the average daily pumpage from wells increased from 

an estimated total of 6,150,000 gallons a day in 1939 to about 6,980,000 

gallons a day in 1940, an increase of 13.5 percent. The total pumpage from 

well-« in 1941'was estimated to be 7,941,000 gallons a day, an increase of
202 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

14 percent over that of 1940 and 29 percent over that of 1939. (See accompanying figure.) Part of the increase in average daily pumpage from 

wells in the Lockland area was due to the establishment of a new industrial 

plant in the Mill Creek Valley near Lockland.

Figure 5. Graph showing water level in well 29-1, Middletown, 

Butler County, Ohio.-

Water levels in January 1941 were in general low and in some wells 

they were the lowest levels on record since July 1938. The water levels 

In most wells declined almost steadily throughout the year, and on December 

31 they were generally 10 to 12 feet lower than on January 1, 1941. (See
OHIO 203

accompanying figures.) In a few wells, particularly shallow wells in the 

Middletown area and wells in the Mill Creek Valley between Plockton and 

Crescentville, water levels rose during January, February, and March but 

remained several feet lower than during the same periods in 1939 and 1940.

Heavy precipitation in June caused a rise of nearly 2 feet in shallow wells 

in the Middletown area, but elsewhere the water levels showed little effect 

of the rains. Precipitation was above normal in October and December and 

small rises in water level occurred in most shallow wells and in wells away 

from the areas of heavy pumping. On December 31, 1941, the water levels in 

areas of heavy pumping were in general the lowest on record.
204 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Although only a few records of water level in 1936, reported to be the 

lowest levels previously reached, are available, it is believed that the 

levels in Decembei 941 were, in general, from 2 to 20 feet lower than 

those j.n December 1936. Part of this decline may be attributed to the

general decline in water levels during the past five years and part to the 

decline during the past year because of increased industrial pumpage and 

deficient precipitation.

in the following tables, water levels in wells are given in feet below the measuring points, and water levels in gravel pits are given in feet 

above the zero readings of staff gages. If water-level measurements for a
OHIO 205

well have been given in previous reports, the descriptions of the wells 

and of the measuring points, if unchanged, are omitted. For wells on which 

automatic water-stage recorders have been in operation, the lowest water 

level reached each day, as determined from recorder charts, is given.

The numbers of the wells are those used in the complete report released in June 1941, and are based on geographic location. Permanent num178

STARK COUNTY 

City of Canton 

By A. N. Sayre

During 1941 measurements of water level in 11 wells were made weekly 

by the Canton Water Department, measurements of water level in the Republic 

Steel Company test well were made weekly bylilr. E. V. Beftoulides, and an 

automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on a well of the Ohio Power 

Company's steam plant by Mr. C. R. Phillips under the direction of the 

Geological Survey. Graphs showing the fluctuations of water levels in the 

last-mentioned two wells are shown in the accompanying figure. All of the 

15 wells end in the outwash gravel that underlies a large part of the city 

to depths of 100 to 200 feet.

The water levels in all the wells declined during the year. The water 

level declined an average of about 5.5 feet in the 8 wells of the Northeast 

well field, about 5.75 feet in the Goughnour well northeast of the Northeast well field, 5 feet in the Ninth Street well, 7.19 feet in the well at 

the city dump, and 7.42 feet in the Ohio Power Company well.

The average rate of pumping in the city wells during 1941 was 

12,167,521 gallons a day (see table of pumpage) as compared with an average of 10,729,600 gallons a day in 1940. A part of this increase came from 

the Ninth Street well that was completed in 1940. There was probably a 

considerably greater increase in the pumpage at the various industrial 

plants in the city as a result of war production.

According to the records of the United States Weather Bureau, the 

precipitation during 1941 was 52.45 inches, which"coiitrasts with 40.44 

inches in 1940 and an average annual precipitation of 58.75 inches.

During 1940, when the pumpage in the Northeast well field was nearly 

11,000,000 gallons a day and the precipitation was somewhat above normal, 

the water level in the field rose an average of about 1 foot and the water 

level in the Goughnour well, which is presumably beyond the radius of influence of the pumping in the city, was about the same at the end of the 

year as it was at the beginning. Thus the pumpage in the Northeast well 

field was not excessive. On the other hand, in the central part of the 

city there was a considerable increase in pumpage by industries and the 

water levels declined 4.75 feet in the Republic Steel Company test well 

and 4.69 feet in the well at the Ohio Power Company's steam plant.

During 1941 there was a continued increase in the pumpage and in 

addition there was a deficiency in rainfall so that recharge to the waterbearing formations was less than usual. Hence, there was a considerable 

decline in all the pumped areas for which records are on hand. Records of 

the pumpage in individual areas are not available, but it seems likely that 

the increase in pumpage in the Northeast well field was not great and that 

most of the increase in the pumpage by the city was accounted for by pumpage 

from the Ninth Street well. The decline in the water level in the Northeast 

well field therefore appears to be largely due to the deficiency in precipitation. This conclusion is supported by the fact that a decline of 

about the same magnitude occurred in the Goughnour well. -In the area affected by the industrial pumpage, and also by the pumpage from the Ninth 

Street well, the decline in water levels was about twice the decline in 

the Northeast well field and about twice the decline in the industrial 

area during 1940. Therefore, it is evident that although a part of the 

decline in this area resulted from a deficiency in precipitation, a considerable part of it resulted from increased pumpage.

Any increase in pumpage is accompanied by a decline in water levels 

in the pumped area, but as pumping at the increased rate is maintained 

over a period of time, the rate of decline decreases and water levels 

eventually reach new equilibrium stages, providing the rate of pumping 

does not exceed the rate of recharge. Information is not available to 

indicate whether water levels in the Canton area will continue to decline 

at the same rate if the present rate of pumpage is maintained.

PENNSYLVANIA 

By P.. C. Baker

In 1941, as in previous years, weekly measurements of water level in 

a State-wide net of observation wells were made 'in cooperation with the 

Topographic and Geologic Survey of the Pennsylvania Department of Internal 

Affairs. A total of about 1,500 measurements was made during the year and 

an automatic water-stage recorder and a rain gage were maintained at well 

100. During the year a trip was made by the writer to inspect the 

observation wells and to study their field relations. Two wells were 

abandoned and five new wells were included. At the end of the year 

measurements were being made in 29 wells. No water is pumped from any of 

the observation wells except from well 76, near Wapwallopen, which is pumped 

during dry periods. Well 57, at Sunbury, and well 61, at Newport, may be 

somewhat affected by pumping from nearby wells.

The accompanying figure shows graphs of the weekly average of the water' 

levels in 1941, the highest and lowest weekly averages prior to 1941, and 

the y-year average, which is a composite of the weekly averages from 1932 

to 1940. It also shows the 1941 precipitation and the 54-year monthly 

normal precipitation.

At the end of 1P41 the weekly average was about 3.2 feet lower than 

at the beginning of the year.

In the first week in January 1941 the water levels averaged about 2-J 

feet above the P-year average for that week and about 1 foot higher than 

the highest previous average of record for that week. Throughout the year 

the average followed the precipitation, dropping relative to the 9-year 

average in months of deficient precipitation and rising in relation to the 

9-year average in periods of excessive precipitation. A notable exception 

occurred in the latter half of March and the first part of April, during 

which period there was an average rise of more than 2 feet, whereas the 9- 

year average went up only 1 foot. During this period the conditions were 

favorable for infiltration, and as a result there was an unusual amount of 

recharge, even though the precipitation was subnormal. 

238
Figure 11.--Graphs showing average ground-water levels an

in Pennsylvania in 1941 in comparison with previous y
240 WATER LEVELS AIID ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

In October, November, and most of December 1941, the average was low 

and did not fluctuate greatly, but in the latter part of December there was 

a pronounced rise in water levels. During November 1941 the average of 

the water levels remained nearly constant, whereas the 9-year average rose 

about 0.8 foot. If this difference were entirely due to the deficiency in 

precipitation in November 1941 of 0.4 inch, there would be indicated a 

capacity for the storage of water in the soil within the range of 

fluctuation of the water table of only about 4 percent, which is quite low, 

and only about one-sixth of the specific yield of fairly clean sand. This 

computation, although not in itself conclusive, accords with the conclusion 

already arrived at that over the Stat« as a whole the capacity of the soil 

for ground-water storage is small.

In 1941 two wells reached new high levels for the period of record 

(one in March and the other in April), five wells reached new low levels 

(one in September, one in November, and three in December), and one well 

which was never dry before was dry at various times in November and December.

In the following tables the water levels are expressed in feet above 

an assumed datum at each well, except wells 116, 117, 118, 119, and 120, 

for which the water levels are given in feet below the measuring points. 

These five wells were added to the observation-well program in the autumn 

of 1941 and suitable datum planes had not been determined for them at the 

end of the year. The table of weekly averages for 1941 does not include 

the records for wells 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, and 120.

The records of water levels in the observation wells in pre'vious 

years are given in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, and 906. 

The descriptions, of the wells-and of the measuring points and bench marks, 

if not given in this report, will be found in the water-supply papers to 

which, reference is made.
