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 arow 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 <?epletion 

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 19S5, 

and from that year through 1939 one volume containing these datr was 

published each year. The volumes were issued as Water-Supply Friers 777, 

817, 840, 845, and 886. This series of reports is in a sense ar inventory, 

year by year, of the ground-water supplies of those parts of the country 

that it covers. The number of observation wells and the quantity of 

records on water levels and artesian pressure obtained from their have 

increased gradually from year to year. As a result it has been deemed 

advisable to publish the records for 1940 in six volumes, each volume 

containing records for one of the sections into which the United1 States 

has been divided. (See fig. 1.) The present volume covers the northeastern section and gives records of water level or artesian pressure in 

about 680 observation wells in Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, 

Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, that were obtained 

by the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies. About 103 of these 

wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For seme wells 

for which records had not heretofore been published complete records of 

water levels are given in this report, including those for yearr before 

1940. For wells whose previous records have been published, horever, 

this volume gives only current records. If complete descriptiors of the 

wells were given in one of the previous reports, only the well rumbers or 

the well numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given ir this report. The report includes about 27,500 individual measurements of water 

level or artesian pressure.

2 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

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

planes of different kinds. Some are given in depth below the 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 in height above an assumed datum plane. As the measuring 

points on some of the wells were changed in 1940, 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 wells is usually the measured depth below the measuring 

point.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this 

report are due Mrs. Charlotte P. Berger and Misses Martha M. E"'ans, 

Dorothy M. Ireland, Ermelinda F. Mattera, and Ooree M. Pellen, who typed 

the offset copy; and to Rodney Hart, who prepared many of the illustrations 

and gave other assistance in preparing the copy.

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVEL IN 1940 

IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES

The precipitation in all the northeastern States, except Indiana, 

was normal in 1940. The fluctuations of water levels and artesian pressure 

in all wells, however, did not reflect these moisture conditions. The 

fluctuations of water levels and artesian pressure in wells depend upon 

many complex factors, such as the distribution and amount of the precipitation, location of the outcrop areas of the formations, permeability and 

specific yield of the water-bearing materials, depth of the water table 

below the land surface, and the proximity of the wells to areas of heavy 

withdrawals. Consequently, it is usually not possible to find a simple 

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

departures from normal precipitation. The fluctuations that occur in 

each well, or group of similar wells, must be studied separately in order 

to evaluate the effects of the many influencing factors. It is not ordinarily possible to make general statements regarding changes in groundwater levels that apply over large areas. The following paragraphs are 

taken chiefly from the interpretive texts of the several State sections 

in this volume. They summarize very briefly the changes in ground-water 

levels or artesian pressure that occurred in 1940 in the parts of the 

underground reservoirs in the northeastern States that the wells tap.
INTRODUCTION

Figure 1. Outline map of the United States, showing sections cf the 

country covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian 

pressure in observation wells in 1940. The shaded section represents the 

part of the country covered by this volume.

Connecticut. Of 19 wells in New Haven County for which a year's 

record is available, 14 showed a net decline in water level in 2">40. The 

declines in water level ranged from about 0.1 foot to 1.6 feet and averaged 

0.5 foot. Of the 5 wella that showed net rises in water level, 3 are in 

areas of heavy withdrawal and the other 2 wells tap water in bedrock.

Indiana. In Indiana essentially complete water-level records were 

obtained in 1940 on 52 wells distributed over the State. Fifteen of the 

wells are in Marion County (Indianapolis). In 36 of the wells, including 

14 wells in Marion County, the water levels declined to lower stages during the fall of 1940 than during the fall of 1939 and the winter of 1939- 

40; in 13 wells the water levels did not decline as low during the fall 

of 1940 as during the previous fall and winter; in 3 wells the stages 

reached during the fall of 1940 were about the same as those reached 

during the previous fall and winter. There was a net decline ir the 

52 wells in 1940 of about 0.4 foot. The precipitation for the year was 

32.55 inches 6.74 inches below normal.
4 WATER LEVELS AMD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Massachusetts. All obaervatlon wella In Maaaachusetta for which a 

complete record for 1940 waa obtained 19 wella ahowed net rlaea of water 

level In the year. The rises ranged from about 0.1 foot to mc^e than 

8 feet, but in moat the wella the rlae waa 1 to 2 feet.

Michigan. The water level In a typical well In Roacommor County 

fluctuated through a range of about 1.4 feet In 1940, and at the end of 

the year waa about 1 foot higher than at the end of 1939. There waa 

eaaentlally no net change of the water level in the well in 1G39. The 

water levela In other obaervatlon wella In the northern part cf the 

Lower Penlnaula fluctuated In a almllar manner In 1940.

New Jeraey. Recorda for water table wella in the Runyon area, 

Middleaex County, ahow that the water levela in wella leaa than about 

25 feet deep had a net average rise In 1940 of about 3 feet, and that 

the -water levela in wella more than 25 feet deep had an average net riae 

of about 1 foot In the year. The water level In the Morrell w«ll, 

Middleaex County, which haa been obaerved contlnuoualy for abo'.it 17 years, 

waa about 1 foot below the average atage at the beginning of I'MO, but 

only about 0.1 foot below the average atage at the end of 1940.

New York. Water levela In about a half of 120 obaervatlon wells on 

long Island were lower at the end of 1940 than at the beginning of 1940, 

and the water levela in the reat of the wella were higher. Mo«t of the 

wells In which there waa a conaiderable net rlae of water level In the 

year are in areaa of heavy pumping along the south ahore of th" laland. 

In theae areaa, the rate of withdrawal of water was much leaa during the 

laat part of 1940 than during the laat part of 1939.

Ohio. Water levela In most obaervatlon wella, both deep and ahallow, 

In Butler and Hamilton Countiea, were lower at the end of 1940 than at 

the end of 1939.

Pennaylvania. The average of the water levela In observation wells 

distributed over Pennaylvania at the end of 1940 was 0.75 foot higher than 

at the end of any previous year of record, which extenda back to 1931, 

and about 4.2 feet higher than at the end of 1939.
CONNECTICUT

New Haven County 

By J. G. Ferris

The cooperative investigation of ground-water conditions in the New 

Haven area by the Federal Geological Survey and the Connecticut State 

Water Commission was continued in 1940. At the end of the year one automatic water-stage recorder was in operation and weekly water-levsl measurements were being made in 29 additional observation wells. A tot.\l of about 

1,370 individual water-level measurements were made during the y?ar.

A descriptive heading was given for each observation well in WaterSupply Paper 886. Headings have been omitted in this report except for 

wells whose measuring points have been changed or for wells whos<J records 

were not given in Water-Supply Paper 886.

The following table gives a summary of ground-water level data for 

New Haven:

The lowest observed water level in all wells except those wells 

located in areas of heavy pumping was lower in 1940, than the lorest stage 

in 19S9. Observations were started in the Hew Haven area late ir the 

spring of 1959. The water levels in some of the wells were doubtless 

higher early in the spring of 1939 than in the spring of 1940.

The following table shows the net change of water levels in wells

The table shows that of the 19 wells for which a year's record is available, 14 showed a net decline of water level for the year. The declines in 

water level range from about 0.1 foot to 1.6 feet and average 0.5 foot. 

Wells NHn 131, 140, and 159, which show net rises of water level in the year, 

are at plants in the Mill River industrial area, and the water levels in them 

are affected considerably by pumping at the plants or at nearby plants. Wells 

NHn 152 and 168, which also show net rises of water levels in the year, are 

the only wells under observation in the Hew Haven area that penetrate bedrock. The water levels in these wells are probably not affected directly by 

all the factors that affect the water levels in the other wells, which tap 

water in stratified drift.
COHHBOTIOUT

The precipitation at New Haven In 1940.was about 2.3 inches greater 

that in 1939, or about 2.4 inches above normal. The distribution of 

precipitation during the two years, however, was such that greater recharge might be expected in 1939 than in 1940. During the 7-month nongrowing season, the period most favorable for.recharge, the precipitation was 5.22 Inches above normal In 1939, as compared with 1.6H inches 

above normal in 1940.

A comparison of the water level data for wells HHn 178 and 205, in 

tbe Mill River Industrial area, with periodic measurements of fre tide 

stage In the Mill River Indicates that the water levels In both wells 

are affected by the tide In the river. The rapid rise in water levels 

In wells In the Mill River industrial area, near the middle and end of 

each year is caused by the large decrease in pumping during factory 

maintenance, clean-up and materials-inventory, a practice fairly general 

for most New Haven manufacturers at these two periods of the

HHn 101.

INDIANA.

By C. L. McGuinneaa

The program of water-level measurements In observation wells In 

Indiana, begun In 1935 In the north half of the State and In 1936 In 

the south half of the State, was continued In 1940 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 study of the water resources of the Indianapolis area, begun 

in 1938. A memorandum for the press giving some data on ground-water 

conditions in the Indianapolis area was released in August, and at the 

same time records of about 850 wells in the area were placed on file for 

examination by interested persons in the office of the Federal Survey in 

Washington, D. C., and the office of the State Division of Geolo<r in 

Indianapolis.

Water-level measurements were discontinued in a few wells in the 

State in 1940 but were begun or resumed in several other wells; the number 

of wells on which observations were being made at the end of the year remained at about 60. Measurements were made at least once in about 65 

wells. Measurements are made through the cooperation of the State Department of Conservation, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and municipal water 

departments. Measurements are 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 1,400 Individual measurements were made in 1940. Two 

float-type automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on wells in 

Indianapolis during the year.

In the following discussion of trends in water-level fluctuations 

the low and high seasonal stages-of 1940 are compared with those of the 

previous year; net changes during the calendar year 1940 are also given. 

Essentially complete water-level records were obtained for 52 wells in 

1940, including 15 wells in Marion County (Indianapolis). In 36 wells, 

including 14 wells in Marion County, the water levels declined to lower 

stages during the fall of 1940 than during the fall of 1939 and winter of 

1939-40; in 13 wells the water levels did not decline as low during the 

fall of 1940 as during the previous fall and winter; in 3 wells the levels 

reached during the fall of 1940 were about the same as those reached during the previous fall and winter. In 1940 the water levels in practically

all the wells reached their lowest seasonal stages before the end of the. 

year, whereas in 1939 the water levels in about half the wells were still 

declining at the end of the year, and in these wells the lowest seasonal 

stages were not reached until January or February, 1940. The average net 

decline in the 52 wells from the fall and winter of 1939-40 to the fall 

of 1940 was 1.19 feet. The average net decline for this period in the 15 

wells in Marion County was 2.33 feet; that for the 37 wells in ether 

counties was 0.73 foot.

The highest seasonal stages in 1940 in the 52 observation rolls in 

Indiana averaged 2.23 feet lower than the highest stages of 193S . The 

high stages of 1940 in the 15 wells in Marion County averaged 2.63 feet 

lower than in 1939; those of the 37 wells in other counties averted 2.12 

feet lower than in 1939.

Owing to the fact that recovery of the water levels from tl 3 low 

seasonal stages of 1939 did not begin until early in 1940, whereas recovery 

from the low seasonal stages of 1940 was in progress at the end of the year, 

the average net decline in the 52 wells from January 1, 1940, to January 1, 

1941, was only 0.41 foot. The 15 wells in Marion County showed an average 

net decline in water level of 2.12 feet from January 1, 1940, to January 1, 

1941; the 37 wells in other counties showed an average net rise in water 

level during this period of 0.32 foot.

Of 17 wells in northern Indiana, 9 wells showed net rises in water 

level from the fall and winter of 1939-40 to the fall of 1940, 6 wells 

showed net declines, and 2 wells showed no net change. For the 17 wells 

the rises almost exactly equaled the declines, and there was no appreciable 

average net change. Of 29 wells in central Indiana, 1 well showed a net 

rise in water level during the period, 27 wells showed net declines, and 

1 well showed no net change. For the 29 wells the average net decline was 

1.95 feet. As indicated above, the average net decline in the 15 wells in 

Marion County was 2.33 feet; that in the 14 wells in other counties was 

1.55 feet. Of 6 wells in southern Indiana, 2 wells showed net rises in 

water level for the period and 4 wells showed net declines. For the 6 

wells the average net decline was 0.64 foot.
INDIANA 19

Precipitation in the State during 1940 was 32.55 Inches, 6.74 Inches 

below normal. The precipitation was considerably above normal in April, 

and slightly above normal In February, May and November. The other months 

of the year had deficiencies ranging from 0.42 Inch to 2.15 incl93. The 

accumulated deficiency In precipitation during 1940 was about 4 Inches for 

the northern part of the State, about 9 Inches for the central part of the 

State, and a little less than 9 inches for the southern part of the State.

Water levels In most of the wells In the State that showed seasonal 

fluctuations reached their highest stages of 1940 In late April or early 

May, somewhat later than In 1939, and In several wells the high stages 

were not reached until June. Lowest stages of the year in most of these 

wells were reached in November, although In several wells the low stages 

were reached In late October and In several others the low stages were 

reached In December. As Indicated above, the water levels In practically 

all the wells began to recover before the end of the year.

The lowest water levels for the period of record were read ^d In 26 

wells during the fall of 1940, Including most of the wells in wl ich the 

previous record low stages were reached In late 1939 or early 1940, and 

Including also 4 wells In which the previous low stages were reached In 

1936. Ten of the 26 wells are In Indianapolis.

The average range of fluctuation In 51 of the 52 wells for which the 

records for 1940 are essentially complete was about 6.3 feet, 0.3 foot 

less than in 1939. This brings out the fact that although the 1940 fall 

stages were lower than those of 1939, the spring 1940 high stages, as 

compared with those of 1939, were still lower. The fluctuation of water 

level In one well (Marion 16) Is not Included In the average, because 

this well apparently represents special conditions, similar to conditions 

in the vicinity of Marion 4, described in Water-Supply Paper 886.

Changes that have occurred In water levels In certain observation 

wells in Indiana during the period of record are summarized In the table 

below. Because ground-water conditions differ considerably froir place to 

place in the State and because parts of the State are not adequately represented by observation wells, the figures given should not be regarded as 

absolute average values for the entire State or even for the parts of the 

State represented, but may be regarded as showing trends.

MASSACHUSETTS

By M. L. Brashears, Jr.

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts was 

continued in 1940 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. The inventory of existing 

ground-water supplies of Middlesex County was continued durinr the summer 

of 1940. Periodic observations of ground-water level were male in wells 

in Middlesex and Worcester Counties during the entire year.

At the present time, an inventory of wells has been starred in 30 

townships and completed in 15 townships in Middlesex County. During the 

summer of 1940, field work was done in 10 townships in the vicinity of 

the Aberjona Valley and the area to the north.

Regular weekly water-level measurements were made in 37 wells in the 

vicinity of Lowell and in the Aberjona Valley. During the ye^r measurements of water level were begun in 19 new wells, and were discontinued in 

2 wells that had been measured in 1939. During 1940, three automatic, waterstage recorders were operated continuously at Lowell, Leomina'rer, and 

Winchendon. A total of about 1,425 individual water-level measurements 

was made during the year.

Most of the observation wells in which measurements were begun during 

1940 penetrate unconsolidated glacial material, which ranges in composition 

from stratified sand and gravel to more or less unstratified sandy clay. A 

few of the observation wells may end at the contact of the bedrock and the 

overlying glacial deposits. Well Wilmington 58 penetrates bedrock.

A descriptive heading was given for each observation well in WaterSupply Paper 886. Headings have been omitted in this report except for 

wells which were not reported on in Water-Supply Paper 886.

The following table summarizes data pertaining to ground-water levels 

in Massachusetts.

Observations on ground-water levels were first made In Massachusetts 

during the early part of the summer of 1939. Because ground-water levels 

are generally at their highest stage during the spring of the year, a comparison of the relative position of the highest stages during 1939 and 

1940 cannot be made. Available measurements indicate, however, that in 

general ground-water levels were somewhat higher during the summer of 1940 

than in the summer of 1939. The lowest observed water level in 16 of the 

21 wells that were measured during both years occurred in 1939.

The following table shows the net change of water level in wells in 

Massachusetts in 1940.

By C. L. McQulnness, Noiaan Billings, and 0. P. Poindexter

The program of water-level measurements in observation wellg in

I/ 

Michigan, begun in 1932 in cooperation between the Geological Survey

Division of the Michigan Department of Conservation, and the Pideral 

Geological Survey, was continued in 1940. Areas with observation wella 

are shown in an accompanying figure. At the end of the year, monthly 

or semi-monthly measurements of water level were being made in 75 wells in 

forested areas in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. A total of 

about 1,500 individual measurements of water level were made in the 75 

wells during the year, mostly by members of the Michigan State Civilian 

Conservation Corps, and measurements were made once during the year in 6 

wells in Charlevoix County. Norman Billings, junior geologist, Michigan 

State Civilian Conservation Corps, was in direct charge of the observations in the northern part of the State in 1940.

The float-type water-stage recorder that was installed in November 

1934 on a well at the Forest Fire Experiment Station in Roscomnon was in 

operation throughout the year. Weekly water levels in this well in 1940 

are given in this report.

In the Roscommon well there was a fairly steady decline in water level, 

with minor fluctuations, from 7.50 feet below the measuring point on August 

8, 1939, to 8.14 feet below the measuring point on March 29, 1940, the 

lowest stage of 1940. As a result of a thaw, the water level I <sgan to rise 

on March 29. Although periods of freezing weather caused the groundwater recharge to stop several times during the following week and 

slight declines in water level resulted, by April 6 the water level had 

risen to a stage of 7.67 feet. On April 6 a more continuous rise began, 

and by April 13 the water level had risen to 7.20 feet. The wrter level 

remained steady from April 13 to April 20, and then began to rise slowly, 

reaching a stage of 6.94 feet on June 1. __ Daily halts in the rise, the 

result of transpiration by plants, began shortly after the middle of 

April. On June 1 the water level began to decline, and the daJ.ly halts 

caused by transpiration became daily increases in the rate of decline. 

The decline continued until June 18, when a moderately heavy rrin caused

a rise In water level from 7.16 feet to 7.10 feet. The water level then 

declined slowly until June 23. Moderate rains during the period June 23- 

25 resulted in a rise in water.level from about 7.1 feet on June 23 to 

6.88 feet on June 29. The water level then declined again until July 22, 

when a heavy rain caused a rise in water level from 7.40 feet to 7.13 

feet. The water level then declined fairly rapidly to about 7.45 feet on 

August 2, and rather slowly from August 2 to August 29, when a stage of 

7.60 feet below the measuring point was reached. On August 29 a heavy 

rain started a rise in water level that continued until September 7, when 

a stage of 7.09 feet was reached. The water level remained at this 

stage until September 11, when a slow decline began. The decline continued 

until September 19, when a heavy rain caused a rise in water level from 

7.12 feet on that date to 6.92 feet on September 21. The water level 

then continued to rise slowly, reaching a stage of 6.83 feet on September 

28. It then declined slowly, with minor fluctuations, to a stage of 6.97 

feet on November 1, when an irregular rise began that culminated in a 

stage of 6.78 feet during the period November 27-30. The water level then 

declined, with a few interruptions, to 6.85 feet during the period 

December 23-25, when it began to rise, reaching a stage of 6.73 feet on 

December 31, 1940. The range in fluctuation during 1940 was 1.41 feet, 

from 8.14 feet on March 29 to 6.73 feet on December 31, the highest 

stage of the year.

The history of the observation well program in the northern part of 

the Lower Peninsula is given in Water-Supply Paper 777 and in subsequent 

water-level reports (Water-Supply Papers 817, 840, 845, and 8F6). The 

following description of the area of investigation and of water-level 

fluctuations during the period of record is furnished by Normm Billings.

The observation wells are situated in two main areas. Tl~e larger 

of the two, known as the Higgins Lake area, shown as the southernmost 

of the two shaded areas in the accompanying index map includes the upper 

portions of the drainage areas of the Manistee, Muskegon, and Au Sable 

Rivers in Kalkaska, Crawford, Otsego, Roscommon, and Missaukee Counties. 

The smaller area, known as the Pigeon River area, includes the upper 

portions of the drainage areas of the Black and Thunder Bay Rf.vers in 

Cheboygan, Presque Isle, and Montmorency Counties. The names of the
Wells in Higglna Lake Area

Wells in Pigeon River Area

Figure 4. Hydrographs of observation wells in the northern part o
mCHIOAS 55

areas are derived from the names of the State forests In which most of the 

wells are situated.

The areas of observation wells are underlain by thick deposits of 

glacial drift. Most of the wells are on sandy moraines or outrash plains 

and penetrate sand or gravel. Only a few of the wells passed through 

clay during construction and none end In clay. The wells extend only a 

few feet below the water table. The water level In the different wells 

ranges from the land surface to 20 feet below the land surface. The 

areas In which the water table la less than 20 feet below the surface 

make up about one-half of the total area of the region.

The region Is largely forested. The original cover was mainly white 

and Norway pine, which was lumbered off during the last half of the 19th 

century. After an area had been lumbered recurrent forest flr^s ran unchecked through the slash. During the last 20 or 30 years, however, forest 

fire suppression has been sufficiently effective to permit uninterrupted 

plant growth except In a few relatively small areas where fire" have occurred, and much of the region has become naturally reforested. In addition, several hundred square miles have been planted to pine seedlings by 

the State Department of Conservation and the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Periodic measurements In about 200 wells Installed by the Michigan 

State Civilian Conservation Corps were begun in November 1934. In 1938 

the number of wells was reduced to 87 and has since been further reduced 

to the 75 wells that are now being measured regularly. Average water 

levels In 50 wells In the Hlgglns Lake area and In 24 wells Ir the Pigeon 

River area, computed by the arbitrary datum method, are shown In an 

accompanying illustration. Fluctuations In water level In the Roscommon 

recorder well are shown In the same Illustration.

The geologic and hydrologlc conditions are quite similar throughout 

the region and the fluctuations In water level In widely separated wells 

are very similar. The water levels have an annual fluctuatlor that on 

the average is about 1.5 feet. The water levels generally repch the 

highest stage of the year In April or May. The duration of tl3 high stage 

Is short, and the water levels then decline rapidly until September or 

October, when a slight rise generally occurs. The water levels then

N

decline slowly until February or March, when the melting of snow and
56 WATER LEVELS AND ARFBSIAN PRESSURE, 1940

accompanying rains cause considerable ground-water recharge, and a rise 

begins that culminates in the spring high stage in April or May.

The precipitation during the winter of 1934-35 was slightly below 

normal and that of the spring of 1935 was only about one-third of normal. 

Conditions were favorable for ground-water recharge in March 1935, however, and the water levels in the observation wells reached in April an 

average stage of about 3.4 feet above the arbitrary datum, the second 

highest stage on record. The water levels then declined rapidly to an 

average stage of about 1.75 feet above datum in September and ti 3n slowly 

to about 1.7 feet above datum in November. The water levels rose in 

December to about 1.75 feet above datum, and then declined to alout 1.55 

feet above datum in February 1936. Although precipitation durir^c the 

spring of 1936 was almost normal, conditions were not as favoralle for 

recharge as during 1935, and the spring high stage of 1936, reached in May, 

was only about 2.9 feet above datum. The average autumn low stsge, 

reached in September, was about 1.4 feet above datum, the second lowest 

stage on record. The water levels then recovered slowly and irregularly 

to a stage of only about 2.55 feet above datum in May 1937, the lowest 

spring peak on record. Precipitation during both the winter of 1936-37 

and the spring of 1937 was below normal. Slimmer and autumn precipitation 

during 1937 was above normal, and the autumn low stage in water levels was 

about 1.8 feet above datum, nearly the highest low stage during the 

period of record. Following the low stage there was a rise in w?ter 

levels, then a slight decline, and finally a rise to the highest average 

stage on record, about 3.6 feet above datum in April 1938. A pronounced 

decline in water levels followed, and the low stage in 1938 was about 

l.S feet above datum, about the same as in 1937, but it was reached later 

in the year. During the following winter and spring precipitation was 

slightly above normal, but the spring high stage in 1939, reachel in May, 

was about 2.95 feet above datum, about 0.75 foot lower than that of 1938. 

A long decline in water levels followed, interrupted by a slight autumn 

rise, and ended in the lowest stage of record, about 1.2 feet above 

datum in March 1940. Precipitation during the summer and autumn of 1939 

and the winter of 1939-40 was somewhat below normal. Spring precipitation in 1940 was slightly above normal, but the spring high stage in

water levels was the lowest on record, about 2.35 feet above datum in 

May. Summer and autumn precipitation In 1940 was considerably above normal, and the water levels began to recover after reaching a low stage of 

about 1.85 feet In August. At the end of the year the water levels were 

about the same as at the end of 1934.

The program of water-level measurements In munlclpally-owned wells 

In several cities In the southern part of the Lower Peninsula was continued during the year. Fluctuations in water level in a well in Ann 

Arbor, Washtenaw County, during the period 1920-1939 are sho-m in an 

accompanying figure, and selected water-level measurements made in the 

well during 1940 are given in this report.

NEW JERSEY

By E. J. Schaefer

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Hew Jersey was continued during 1940 under a cooperative agreement between the Federal 

Geological Survey and the Hew Jersey State Water Policy Commission. Most 

of the measurements included in this report were obtained in connection 

with quantitative studies being made in selected areas within the State. 

A map showing these areas and a table giving the names of the counties and 

corresponding areas were included in Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 

886.

At the end of the year a total of 214 observation wells were being 

measured. Some were measured once a month, some once a week, and two wells 

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

51 wells were obtained by means of automatic water-stage recorders. 

Approximately 5,500 individual measurements of water level were made during 

the year.

The only publication relating to water levels in Hew Jerse7 issued in 

1940 was a paperl/on the advance of salt water in the vicinity of Parlin, 

New Jersey.

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

series prior to Water-Supply Paper 886, the name of the area is also given. 

Detailed descriptions for each well have been omitted where such, descriptions 

were included in one of the previous annual volumes. Wherever a satisfactory 

determination of the altitude of the measuring point for 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.

For water levels obtained by tape measurements the date of measurement 

and the water level are given. For records obtained by means o.^ waterstage 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 having small fluctuations in water level, the water level at the end 

of the day is given; for wells having large daily fluctuations in water 

level, caused by nearby pumping or tides, 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 two low and 

two high stages for each day is reported.

With one exception all records included in this report are a continuation of those given in previous volumes. The new record is for well 

36.14.5.8.7. (Citizens Ice Company well), Atlantic County. This well 

taps the Atlantic City 800-foot sand and is in Atlantic City.

The largest new ground-water development made in New Jersey In 1940 

was the 'construction of three large wells or "water collectors" in Salem 

County near Perms Grove. The wells are of a type new to this ares. They 

consist of a large central shaft of reinforced concrete into which the 

water is conducted by means of a number of screens forced out radially and 

horizontally into the sand for distances as much as 150 feet or more. By 

this means an unusually large screen area is developed for each well. The 

wells at Perms Grove derive their water from relatively shallow be-is of 

sand and gravel in which the ground water occurs under water-table conditions. 

Withdrawals of water from the wells since their completion during the past 

summer have been in excess of 5 million gallons daily, most of which is 

used for industrial purposes. Several observation wells hav6 recently been 

constructed in this area in connection with studies designed to determine 

whether the safe yield of the aquifer is being exceeded.

The precipitation in New Jersey in 1940 was generally below normal 

during January and February, and the water table, where not affected by 

pumping, was at its lowest level for the year. During the next th~ee 

months the precipitation was above normal. The water table in most places 

reached its highest stage of the year late in March and early in April. 

Subnormal precipitation during June and July and the seasonal increase in 

transpiration and evaporation during the summer months caused a decline 

that continued until late in August. The water table, however, did not 

reach the low levels of January anri February or approach record lcr*a for 

previous summer months. The precipitation for the rest of the year was 

above normal and water levels ended the year with an appreciable n3t gain 

over the beginning of the year.

The records for water table wells in the Runyon area in Middlesex 

County are illustrative of the conditions just described. Of special 

interest is the table of average water levels for two groups of farm wells 

in this area. In general the water levels in wells that are less than 25
HEW JEBSEY 71

feet deep appear to fluctuate differently from those in wells that are somewhat deeper, and the wells are therefore arbitrarily divided in*o two groups 

on this basis. Host of the wells are outside the area affected by industrial 

sod public pumping and are measured for the purpose of determining the 

natural fluctuations that occur in the area. The water-level averages for 

both the shallow and deep wells were at their lowest for the ye«r early in 

January. The average of the water levels in the shallow wells reached its 

high stage of the year late in March, whereas the average of th«* water levels 

in the deep wells did not reach its highest stage of 1940 until about 4 

months later. This lag is characteristic of the fluctuations of water level 

in the deep wells. The averages for the shallow wells show a net rise for 

the year of about S feet and the averages for the deep wells sb<nr a net rise 

of about 1 foot. The range of fluctuation in 1940 for the shallow wells was 

about 5 feet and that for the deep wells was only about 2 feet.

Attention is also called to the table for the Horrell well in the 

Runyon area, Kiddlesex County, showing the water level on the first day of 

each month in 1940 compared with the average water level and with the highest and lowest levels on the same day of the month for the preceding 16 or 

17 years of record. An analysis of the table shows -that the weter level 

in the well at the beginning of 1940 was about 1 foot below the average 

level and at the end of the year it was 0.12 foot above the average level. 

On January 1 and February 1, 1940, the water levels in the well were the 

lowest of record for those dates. On June 1, the water level ras at a 

record high stage for this date. The greatest departure from rverage 

occurred on September 1, when the water level was 2.49 feet above the 

average. For the other months of the year departures from the average were 

small.

The major fluctuations of water level in wells that tap artesian 

aquifers in the State were caused, as in previous years, by chrnges in the 

rate of regional pumping. Several records of water levels in veils to the 

Ho. 1 Sand in the Runyon area are included in this report. In most of 

them the artesian head was higher at the end of 1940 than at tl«» end of 

1939 due to a reduction in pumping from this sand by the principal industries operating in the area. Further development of the Duherral supply 

mentioned in Water-Supply Paper 845 has made this possible. Hctwithstanding the reduction, the danger of salt-water intrusion into the Ho. 1 Sand 

has not been alleviated to any great extent and it appears that a further
72 WATER LEVELS MD AHTBSIAH PRESSURE, 1940

reduction in pumping may be necessary. Pumping from the Atlantic City 

800-foot sand was slightly less in 1940 than in 1939. In general, water 

levels in wells tapping this sand ended the year with a small net rise.

With the year 1940 we have completed another decade and this Is 

therefore an opportune time to review the trend of the water 

levels in Hew Jersey since the beginning of record.. The hydrogr->ph of 

the water level in the Morrell well (29.11.1.2.3.) and the monthly precipitation at Runyon are shown in, an accompanying figure. The record of 

water levels was obtained by means of an automatic water-stage recorder 

that has been maintained on the well since August 1923. Water levels in 

the Morrell well are believed to indicate roughly the behavior of the water 

table in those parts of the Coastal Plain where the water table is close to 

the land surface. A detailed discussion of the conditions affecting water 

level fluctuations in this well is 'included in a brief paper published in 

1933.S/

An examination of the diagram shows a very close relationship between 

precipitation and water levels. The water levels respond promptly to precipitation because the water has only a short distance to travel downward 

to the water table. The water levels respond quickly to periods of 

drought, in spite of the fact that the drainage of the immediate area does 

not appear to be very good, because the roots of plants extend to the 

capillary fringe or to the water table and thus draw heavily on the zone 

of saturation whenever sufficient moisture Is not available in the soil 

above.

Periods of extreme drought are easily recognized, as is illustrated 

by the record for the year 1932, the year of greatest drought in the 

period of record. Other relatively dry years were 1925, 1930, and 1939. 

In no year during the period of record has a drought been sufficiently 

severe to affect greatly the water level in the well in the following year. 

The effect of the drought of 1939 and of one or two other years extended 

into the first months of the following year, but not throughout the winter. 

This is probably due, at least in part, to the conditions immediately 

surrounding the well, but it is believed that the undisturbed water table 

throughout the State has recovered each winter during the period of record

from the effects of whatever droughts may have occurred in the growing 

seasons. Almost invariably the winter precipitation in Hew Jersey, and

*

especially in the coastal plain area, is adequate to replenish any normal 

depletion of the zone of saturation. This is not necessarily true of the 

artificial depletion in areas where considerable quantities of water are 

pumped from wells.

The smallest range of fluctuation during any year in the period of 

record occurred in 1928 because of the unusual distribution of the precipitation in that year. The heaviest precipitation occurred during the 

summer months when transpiration and evaporation normally are greatest 

and the water level usually the lowest. As a result, the wat^r level remained relatively high during the entire year.

The fluctuations of water levels in the Longport well (Atlantic 

County 36.S3.1.9.6.) and the Citizens Ice Company well (Atlantic County, 

36.14.5.8.7.), shown in an accompanying figure, are indicative of the 

fluctuations of artesian head at two different points in the 800-foot 

sand at Atlantic City. In many respects the behavior of the water level 

in the wells is typical of that in wells tapping artesian aquifers 

throughout the State where the principal fluctuations of water level are 

produced by changes in the rate of pumping. Fluctuations caused by tides 

and changes in atmospheric pressure produce temporary changes of head, 

but they are not significant in a long-term record. A correlation with 

precipitation has also been found to lack significance, probably because 

the yield of the sand appears to be limited more by its capacity to transmit water from the intake area to the pumping wells than by its intake 

capacity which is probably more than adequate.

One of the most striking features shown by the diagram is the 

seasonal fluctuations of water levels that are produced by the seasonal 

changes in pumpage. The long-term trends are somewhat less apparent. 

Except for the seasonal fluctuations the greatest rate of decline in the 

head of the water in the sand occurred in the years prior to 1930 when the 

pumpage increased most rapidly. Prom 1930 to 1935 the rate of pumping 

declined and the water levels recovered somewhat, but not in proportion 

to the decrease in pumpage. For example, the pumpage in 1935 was approximately the same as that in 19S5, but the water levels in 1935 were 

considerably lower than in 19S5 (more than 10 feet in the Lonrport well).

76 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Prom 1936 to 1940, the total pumpage for the area, which is sh-*m on the 

diagram, has remained essentially constant and slightly above the rate from 

1933 to 1935.

Since the first wells were drilled to the Atlantic City S^O-foot 

sand about 50 years ago, the non-pumping head of the water in the sand at 

Atlantic City haa declined approximately 100 feet. Detailed studies of 

the conditions affecting this sand-$/have indicated that this lowering of 

head may not indicate that the safe yield of the sand has been exceeded. It 

may be merely that the lowering of head is necessary to cause the water to 

move into the area. There are definite indications, however, that the 

lowering of the head may induce an advance of salt water into the area and 

that in this respect the safe yield of the sand has been exceeded.

In summary, there appears to have been no persistent trenl to the 

fluctuations of the water table in New Jersey, where not affected by 

pumpage, during the past 17 years. The water levels in wells tapping 

artesian sands, have in general exhibited trends that have depended on the 

trends in pumpage from the sands. On the whole, the trend of the head in 

the artesian aquifers has probably been downward over the period of record 

because of a rather general Increase in pumpage, but in some instances the 

reverse has been true. In some areas, the safe yield of certain water 

bearing sands is being approached and there is danger that unwise and 

uncontrolled ground-water developments may produce over-development and 

serious damage.

CENTRAL NEW YORK 

By G. D. Freeman

Measurements of ground-water level in 4 wells In central Ner York 

were continued in 1940, by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the New York State Department of Conservation in connection with a 

study to determine the effects of reforestation on stream flow. Previous 

records of water levels in the wells are published in Geological Survey 

Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886. A brief description of 

the geological character of the water-bearing formations that the wells 

tap is given in Water-Supply Paper 886. The water level in none of" the 

wells is affected by pumpage or other acts of man.

The most outstanding feature shown by the records of ground-water 

level in 1940 is the long period of sustained high levels that occurred 

in the spring months due to abundant recharge to the underground reservoirs 

from melting snow. The water levels in all the wells were higher at the 

end of 1940 than at the end of 1939.

The year 1940 was characterized by an abnormally wet winter and spring, 

an abnormally dry summer and early fall, and an abnormally wet late fall 

and early winter. The water level in Shackham Brook well 1 reflected these 

conditions by remaining relatively high until the middle of June, declining 

with some interruptions until the middle of October, and then rising to 

within a foot of the. land surface by the middle of November and remaining 

at this high stage throughout the rest of the year. Unusually h?avy rains 

on June 24 and August 5 produced sufficient recharge to cause th?. water 

level in the well to rise appreciably. The lowest stage of the year was 

reached on October 19.

In addition to the four observation wells mentioned above, which are 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders, measurements are made in two 

wells in the Shackham Brook area and in one well in the Sage Brook area. 

Records of water level are given in the following tables for only the four 

wells equipped with water-stage recorders.

108 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

Shackham Brook Well 1. Latitude 42°46'00", longitude 76°01'10 n . On 

top of hill about 300 feet upstream from stream-gaging station, 500 feet 

to left of Shackham Brook, and about 5 miles north of Truxton, Cortland 

County. Dug well, formerly lined with concrete tile but relined on 

Sept. 23, 1938, with 8-foot length of 18-inch corrugated galvanized-iron 

pipe. Timber instrument shelter formerly rested on concrete base separate 

from iron pipe of well, but on Aug. 2, 1940, was attached firmly to pipe. 

Measuring point, painted mark on top of pipe, 0.26 foot above former measuring point, about 1 foot above land surface, which is about 1,600 feet 

above sea level. Readings until Aug. 2, 1940, made by measuring distance 

from measuring point to water surface; thereafter by means of tape and 

weight device with reference point set to datum. Measurements are 

corrected for change in reference point. Read weekly, Aug. 26, 1933, 

to June 6, 1935. Stevens water-stage recorder installed June 6, 1935.

East Homer Creek Well 1. Latitude 42°43'05n , longitude 76°"6'50 n . 

On side of hill, about 70 feet to right of creek, and about 2^- miles above 

gaging station in East Homer, Cortland County. Dug well lined with 9-foot 

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

shelter formerly rested on concrete base but on Oct. 9, 1940, was bolted 

firmly to the well pipe. Readings made with a hook gage, with h->ok gage 

scale 11.00 feet above zero of staff gage until Jan. 9, 1940, wh«n hook 

rod was removed and readings made by measuring directly downward from 

zero of hook gage scale. On Feb. 12, 1940, a tape and weight measuring 

device was installed. Prior to Jan. 1, 1940, readings were distances in 

feet above an assumed datum which was about 10 feet below land surface. 

Beginning Jan. 1, 1940, the readings are distances in feet below measuring 

point, which is 11.00 feet above the same datum used prior to Jan. 1, 1940. 

To convert water levels prior to 1940 to datum used in 1940, subtract from 

11.00 feet.

110 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

LONG ISLAND 

By R. M. Leggette

The investigation of ground-water conditions on Long Island was 

continued during 1940 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the New York State Water Power and Control Commission and with 

Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Automatic water-stage recorders were in 

operation on about 25 wells at the end of the year. During the year, 

water-level measurements were made weekly in about 90 observation wells 

and monthly in about 55 wells. A total of about 6,000 individual measurements of ground-water level were made during 1940.

The following tables summarize data pertaining to ground-water 

levels on Long Island.

The second table indicates that at the end of 1940 the water levels in 

about half the wells were lower and in about half the wells were higher than 

at the end of 1939. Most of the wells in which there was a considerable net 

rise of water level in the year are in areas of heavy pumping along the 

south shore of the Island. In these areas, the rate of withdrawal of water 

was much greater during the last part of 1939 and early part of 1940 than 

during the last part of 1940. The highest observed water level in most

of the observation wells on Long Island for the entire period of record 

occurred during the spring or early summer of 1939. In the wes-tern part 

of Long Island, in Kings County, where over-pumping has lowered the water 

level below sea level, a further progressive decline of water levels took 

place in 1940. The first table shows that the lowest observed water level 

in most of the wells In Kings County occurred in 1940.

The accompanying diagram shows graphs of the average ground-water 

level on Long Island east of Kings County and the cumulative departure 

from 10-year progressive average monthly precipitation. The method used 

for determining the average ground-water level each month is described 

in the Long Island section in Geological Survey Water-Supply Ptper 886. 

The average water level at the end of 1940 is based on measurements in 

107 wells; 80 in Nassau County, 15 in Suffolk County, and 12 in Queens 

County. As indicated on the diagram, the cumulative departure from 

average precipitation is baaed on 10-year progressive monthly averages. 

It is desirable to use monthly averages for precipitation in such a way 

that the precipitation in earlier years is given little or no weight in 

determining the departures because the average ground-water level on any 

date is more a function of the precipitation during the preceding few 

years than it is of the precipitation during still earlier years. A 

comparison between cumulative departures based on 3-year progressive 

averages and cumulative departures based on 10-year progressive averages 

indicates, that the 10-year progressive averages are somewhat better for 

showing the relation between precipitation and ground-water levels.

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

relation between both the trends of the precipitation and the trends of 

the average ground-water level. The graph of average ground-water level 

indicates that there was a small net rise of water level in 1940. The 

precipitation likewise was slightly above average for the year.

N 8. The altitude of the measuring point of this well was incorrectly 

given in all previous reports as 28.40 feet above mean sea level. The 

correct altitude is 28.35 feet above mean sea level. Thus all water levels 

given for this well in previous reports are 0.05 foot too high. Measurements discontinued Dec. 28, 1940. Observations in well W 1613 ending in 

the same formation about 1,500 feet distant, indicate that there are only 

minor differences between the fluctuations of water level in the two wells.

S 38. The altitude of the measuring point of this well was ircorrectly 

given in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 886. The correct altitude is 0.29 foot 

higher than that given in those reports. Thus, all the water levels given 

in Water-Supply Papers 840, 845, and 886 are 0.29 foot too low. Present 

measuring point, same as described in Water-Supply Paper 886, 34.4F feet 

above mean sea level. Measurements discontinued Oct. 24, 1940, when instrumental observations were started on a nearby well (S 2455) ending in the 

same formation. Measurements in both wells indicate only minor differences 

of water level.

S 1812. The altitude of the measuring point of this well was 

Incorrectly given In Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845. The correct altitude 

Is 3.78 feet lower than that given In those reports. Thus, all the water 

levels given In Water-Supply Papers 840, 845, and 886 are 3.7? feet too 

high. Present measuring point, same as described In Water-Supply Paper 

845, 69.03 feet above mean sea level.

BUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES 

By P. H. ELaer, Jr.

The Investigations of ground-water conditions in Butler and Familton 

Counties, Ohio, begun in June 1938, was continued during 1940 by the 

Federal Geological Survey in financial cooperation with the Boards- of 

County Commissioners of Butler and Hamilton Counties. The detailed work 

of the Investigation was essentially completed by July 1, 1940, bvt 

measurements of water levels In selected observation wells have been continued through December 31, 1940. It Is hoped to continue a program of 

water level measurements through 1941. A description of the investigation and measurements of water levels made in observation wells ir 1938 

and 1939 are given on pages 370-383, Water-Supply Paper 845, and en 

pages 556-587, Water-Supply Paper 886. A progress report on the investigation was released in manuscript form in February 1940, accompanied by 

a mimeographed press release.i/ A more complete abstract of the report 

was mimeographed and distributed locally to interested persons by the 

Mill Creek Valley Conservation Association. A complete report of the 

Investigation Is now being prepared by the Geological Survey.

At the end of 1940, water levels were being measured weekly in 62 

wells and monthly In 20 wells as a part of the investigation. During the 

year about 8,400 measurements were made by H. F. PIttman and C. L. 

Elllott, local observers for the Geological Survey. During 1940 measurements of water level In 21 observation wells were discontinued and measurements were made in 17 new observation wells.

During the year, 15 automatic water-stage recorders were maintained 

on wells, most of which are In areas of heavy pumping where fluctuations 

of water level are of sufficient magnitude to make weekly measurements 

of little value. Throughout the year, 10 recorders were maintained continuously on the same wells and 5 recorders were Installed on 9 different 

wells for shorter periods.

In January 1940, water levels in both deep and shallow water-bearing 

beds were generally low and in many wells continued to decline until April.

174 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

A severe storm during the week of April 17 to 24, during which about 

4.5 inches of rain was recorded near Sharonvllle, caused Mill Creek to 

overflow its banks and to flood many of the adjacent fields. Recharge 

following the storm was particularly great in the Mill Creek Valley 

north of Lockland. In several shallow wells water levels rose between 

16 and 18 feet in a few days. The rise of water level in de-^p wells 

was generally smaller. In the Mill Creek Valley south from Lockland, 

although the water levels in several shallow wells rose considerably, 

no rise in water level in deep wells that could be attribute! directly 

to recharge from the April storm was observed. During the remainder of 

the year, except for small rises during the first week of Ju-?e, water 

levels in both deep and shallow wells continued to decline, so that in 

many wells the water level in December 1940 was one foot to several feet 

lower than in December 1939.

In Middletown, the water level in the shallow water-bearing beds 

was low in January and rose during February, March and April, except for 

a short period in March. The highest level reached in April was 

slightly lower than the highest level reached during 1939. The water 

level declined generally during the remainder of the year, except for a 

short rise during the first week in June. In December 1940, the water 

level was from 1 to 5.5 feet lower than in December 1939. The water 

level in the deep water-bearing beds at Middletown declined generally 

throughout the year and in December 1940 it was about 5 feet lower than 

in December 1939. The decline during 1940 was considerably less than 

that during 1939.

In Hamilton, the water level rose irregularly from January to April, 

and except for a short rise in June, declined during the rest of the 

year. On December 31, 1940, the water level in well 89-3 (2°.) was about 

1 foot higher than on December 31, 1939. In well 104-1 (117), farther 

away from the Miami River, the water level declined about 1 foot during 

the year.

Water levels in the Miami Valley south of Hamilton rose almost continuously from January to April and declined from May to December. The 

net decline during the year was about one foot.
OHIO 175

In the divide area between the Miami Valley and Mill Creek Valley 

and in the upper part of Mill Creek Valley, water levels declined until 

late February, rose slowly during March and rapidly during April. The 

highest level was reached generally in May and water levels declined 

continuously from May to December. The net decline for the year ranged 

from about half a foot to as much as five feet.

Water levels in the shallow water-bearing beds in Mill Creel: Valley 

between Sharon Avenue and Lockland declined during January, and rose 

slowly during February and March and rapidly during April. The highest 

level in April 1940 in wells that were directly affected by the flooding 

of adjacent fields was generally several feet higher than the highest 

level of April 1939. Water levels generally declined throughout the rest 

of the year. The average net decline for the year was about one foot.

The water level in the deeper water-bearing beds in the Mill Creek 

Valley north of Lockland rose generally from March to May and declined 

from May to December. The net decline was about one foot.

In the industrial area in Wyoming, Lockland, and Reading, tl <* fluctuations of water level in the deep water-bearing beds corresponds to changes 

in pumpage. The water level in well 237-5 (13) at the Wyoming wrterworks, where pumpage from nearby wells is fairly constant, declined more 

or less continuously throughout the year, the rate of decline increasing 

during September, October, and November. The level in December 1940 was 

about 4 feet lower than that in December 1939 and almost 2 feet lower than 

in December 1938. At the Gardner Richardson Company plant, where pumpage 

from wells varies considerably, the water level declined during January 

and February and rose during March and April. From May to September, the 

water level declined more or less regularly, reaching the lowest stage 

during the period of record September 26, 1940. This low stage ras almost 2.5 feet lower than the lowest stages reached during 1938 and 1939. 

Part of this decline is due to heavy industrial and municipal pumpage 

during September, October, and November.

Water levels in the Ivorydale area declined more or less continuously 

throughout the year and in December 1940 were about 3 feet lower than in 

December 1939. The lowest level reached during 1940 was about 1.5 feet 

lower than the lowest level of 1939 and nearly 3 feet below the lowest
176 WATER LEVBIS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940

level reached during 1938. Measurements of water level in this area 

have failed to show fluctuations that may be attributed to recharge and 

apparently much of the water pumped is being taken from storage.

In the Norwood area, the water level had a net decline of about 1 

foot during 1940. The major part of the public supply for the city of 

Norwood was taken from 5 new wells in a new field about 1,000 feet 

from the old well field. Wells in the old field are pumped only occasionally to augment the supply.

Precipitation at the Abbe Observatory station of the Urited States 

Weather Bureau during 1940 was 3.90 inches below normal. ReInfall was 

above normal only during February, April, May, June, and November. The 

deficiency in precipitation during the summer of 1940 was at out the same 

as that during the summer of 1939. A severe storm occurred on April 

17-21, 1940, during which 4.74 inches of rain were recorded at the Abbe 

Observatory, 6.35 inches near Mount Healthy, 4.43 inches nerr Sharonville, 6.16 inches at Hamilton and 4.25 inches at Middletowr, Many of 

the fields adjacent to Mill Creek were flooded, the Miami River rose to 

high stages, and water levels rose rapidly.

In December 1940, water levels in most wells, both deep and shallow, 

in Butler and Hamilton Counties were at extremely low stages and at the 

end of the year the water levels were still declining. The lowest stages 

following the summer of 1938 were generally reached in January, 1939; the 

lowest stages following the summer of 1939 were generally reached in 

February and March. Since the water levels in many wells are as low or 

lower than on corresponding dates in 1938 and 1939, it is expected that 

they will reach stages in 1941 which will be lower than at any time during the period of record.

Ohio suffered major droughts in 1930, when the precipitation was 

only 70 percent of normal, and in 1934, when the precipitation waa only 

69 percent of normal. The principal deficiencies in both 1930 and 1934 

occurred during the winter and spring when recharge to the underground 

reservoir is usually greatest. While accurate records of water levels 

prior to 1938 are. scarce, it is reported that water levels declined more 

or less continuously from 1930 to 1936. Heavy rains during January 

1937, which resulted in a disastrous flood on the Ohio River at 

Cincinnati, caused a considerable amount of recharge to the water-
OHIO 177

bearing beds and water levels rose rapidly. It Is believed thrt the low 

stages reached during the fall and winter of 1938-39 were generally higher 

than the low stages of 1936. During the present investigation of only 

two and one-half years, the water levels have fluctuated withir wide 

limits. In general, the lowest stages of water levels in most wells 

during the winter of 1939-40 were as high or higher than those during 

the winter of 1938-39. Although the lowest stages during the rinter of 

1940-41 were not reached by December 31, 1940, it is believed that they 

will be considerably lower than the lowest stages of 1938-39 and 1939-40, 

but not as low as those of 1936.

In the following tables, water levels in wells are given in feet 

below the measuring points, and water levels In open gravel pits are 

given in feet above the zero readings of staff gages. If water-level 

measurements for a well were given on pages 370-383 of Water-Supply Paper 

845, or on pages 560-587 of Water-Supply Paper 886, the descriptions of 

the wells and the measuring points, if unchanged, are omitted. For wells 

on which automatic water-stage recorders have been Installed, the lowest 

water level reached each day, as determined from recorder charts, is 

given.

The numbers of wells have been changed to conform to a regular 

system of numbering, based on geographic location. The new number is 

followed by the old number used in Water-Supply Papers 845 and 886 in 

parenthesis. The wells are grouped by townships, beginning in the northern part of Butler County.

CITY OP CANTON 

By A. N. Sayre

The water levels in wells in Canton declined materially lr 1940. 

The decline was due partly to the decreased recharge to the water-bearing 

beds, which resulted from considerably less-then-normal precipitation, 

and partly to the greatly increased pumpage, which resulted from the great 

increase in industrial activity that occurred during the year. The 

amount of the increase in pumpage Is not known. Figures for the pumpage 

from the municipal wells are available for only the first elg.'it months 

of the year. They .indicate that the pumpage during that part of the 

year was nearly a third greater than during the same months of the preceding year.

Water levels In the municipal wells are available for at out the beginning of each month from January to September. Water leve].s In two wells, 

the Republic Steel Co. test well and the Ohio Power Co. well, are available for the entire year. The Republic Steel Co. well Is measured with a 

steel tape at weekly Intervals. The Ohio Power Co. well has a continuous 

water-stage recorder established over It.

A total of 176 Individual measurements of water level w?re made In 

10 observation wells in 1939.

a Lowest dally water level, in feet below measuring print, 

determined from recorder charts.

PENNSYLVANIA

By R. C. Baker

The program of observing ground-water levels In Pennsylvania, which 

was started In 1931, was continued In 1940 In cooperation with the Topographic and Geologic Survey of the Pennsylvania State Department of 

Internal Affairs. At the end of the year weekly measurements of groundwater levels were being made In 26 wells. An automatic water-stage recorder 

and rain gage were continued In use at well 100. A total of about 1,520 

measurements of water level were made during the year.

During 1940 observations on five wells were discontinued. Measurements in well 26, at Dayton, and well 30, at Nebraska, were discontinued 

because the wells are situated within flood-control reservoirs. Well 5, 

at Greenville, was filled. No measurements have been reported for well 108, 

at Smethport, since December 22, 1937. Well 107, at Conrad, war abandoned 

because the measurements were Inaccurate. Although the loss of these 

wells seriously impairs the observation-well program, it has not been 

possible to replace them.

In 1940 the water levels in 7 wells reached new high stages for the 

period of record 5 in April, 1 in June and 1 in August and the water 

levels in 5 wells reached new low stages 2 In February, 1 in March, 1 in 

September and 1 in October. It is unusual for ground-water levels in 

Pennsylvania to reach low stages in February and March or high stages In 

June and August. These unusual stages are depicted by figure 9, which 

shows graphs of the weekly average for 1940, a composite of the averages 

from 1932 to 1939 and the highest and lowest weekly averages prior to 

1940. The monthly precipitation for 1940 and the 53-year monthly normal 

precipitation are also shown for comparison. The relation between the 

1940 average and the composite average Is roughly comparable to the relation between the 1940 precipitation and the normal precipitation'

The weekly average on January 6, 1940, was 10.95 feet. On February 3, 

the average was 10.91 feet the lowest average stage of the year. This 

low stage was followed by a rapid and continuous rise to April 21, when 

the average reached 17.54 feet the highest average stage in 1940 and the 

second highest on record. The average water levels for February and for 

a part of March were below the corresponding composite averages even

though the precipitation was above normal In both months. This was 

212
PENNSYLVANIA 215

because much of the precipitation occurred In the form of snow and ice 

which remained on the ground and was, therefore, not Immediately available 

for recharging the underground reservoirs. Later, the melting snow and 

ice waters, together with the heavy precipitation, produced much recharge 

and the water levels rose to the highest average stage ever recorded in 

April. Throughout May, June, July and August the general trend of the 

water levels was downward, and on August 24 the level was at 11.08 feet, 

which was the lowest average reached in the last half of 1940. The levels 

rose slightly in September but dropped an average of about half a foot In 

October in response to the subnormal precipitation In that month. The 

average of ground-water levels was 2.5 feet above the composite average 

in April and continued above it until the latter part of August. The decline of the ground-water levels was only slightly more than the normal 

seasonal decline, which correlates with the slightly subnormal pi'eclpitation for the same period. In November and December, the levels rose much 

faster than the composite average. This rise was In response to the abovenormal precipitation for these months.

The average water level on December 28 was 15.37 feet 0.75 foot 

higher than on comparable dates In any other year of record and 4.16 feet 

higher than In the last week of 1939, The range of 6.63 feet In 1940 was 

the second largest of record, being exceeded only by the range of 7.87 

feet in 1936. Figure 9 shows that the average levels In Janurry and 

February were the lowest recorded for those months, being nearly 2 feet 

below the composite average for previous years. Throughout most of April, 

June and July the averages were the highest averages of record for these 

months. Furthermore, during the entire period from the first of April to 

the end of 1940 except for one week In August and one week in October, the 

averages of the levels were higher than the composite averages for- the 

same time in previous years of record.

Early in the decade ending with the year 1940, the systematic measurement of ground-water levels In Pennsylvania was begun. Measurements were 

made in a group of wells that covered the State in a fairly representative 

way. Figure 10 shows the weekly average from December 1, 1931, to December 31, 1940, and the monthly precipitation. It will be noted that the 

ground-water level Is nearly always moving up or down and is rarely 

stationary. The water table is always higher in the late winter and 

spring than it is in the summer and fall. This normal seasonal fluctuation, as indicated by the composite curve, appears to have an amplitude 

of about 4 feet.
214 WATEH LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1940
PENNSYLVANIA 215

The specific yield of the water-bearing formations In Pennsylvania 

Is not large, and therefore departures from normal precipitation cause 

relatively large fluctuations of the water table. These fluctuations In 

average stage range In amplitude from less than a foot to about 2 feet. 

In general, a given excess of precipitation above the normal will cause 

a greater rise of the water table In the winter and spring than It will 

In the summer; a given deficiency of precipitation below normal will 

cause a greater decline of the water table in summer than It will In the 

winter or spring. These differences occur largely because in the summer 

evaporation from the soil and transpiration from plants reduce th^ amount 

of precipitation available for recharge.

Except for normal seasonal fluctuations, changes In ground-water 

level In Pennsylvania are hardly more predictable than the weather, even 

for a short period, because the fluctuations of water level folloT the 

variations in precipitation so closely. This is Illustrated by a comparison of fluctuations of ground-water levels In 1939 and 1940. Th"? levels 

were lower In January, 1939, than In any previous January of record. In 

February, March and April they were Intermittently the highest recorded 

up to that time but were followed In the summer and fall with the longest 

period of low water levels on record. In January and February 1940, the 

water levels were the lowest on record for those months but during the 

rest of the year they were relatively high.

The records from December 1, 1931, through 1940 do not give any Indication of a long-term trend In ground-water levels. Such a long-term 

trend in Pennsylvania would depend chiefly on a similar trend In precipitation. The period of record Is, however, too short to give any conclusive 

evidence as to-whether such a trend exists.

In the following tables the water levels are expressed In feat above 

an assumed datum plane at each well. None of the wells is greatly affected 

by pumping. The table of weekly averages Includes all wells except well 115.
