fcATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION V/ELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1946

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

The rock formations of the earth ere great natural reservoirs in which 

a part of the water derived from rain and snow is stored to supply wells 

and springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods of fair 

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

or by heavy pumping, whether for public waterworks, irrigation, or industrial uses, and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons of 

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

flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935 and 

has continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 the 

records have been published in six volumes, covering the northeastern, 

southeastern, north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern 

sections of the country. Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. 

(See fig. 1.) The following table gives the numbers of these reports. 

This series of water-supply papers is in a sense an inventory, year by year, 

of the ground-water supplies of such parts of the country as have been 

covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the southeastern States and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure in about 850 observation wells of the 

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

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

Virginia, and tVest Virginia. Of these wells, 123 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records of water level are given in this volume, including those of 

the years before 1946. For wells whose previous records have been published 

this volume gives only the current records. If a complete description of a 

well has been published in a previous report, only the well number or the 

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

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

the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that well are given and 

the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description 

of the well is given in the paper whose number is so marked. This report 

includes about 17,500 individual determinations of water level and artesian 

pressure.

Land-surface datum

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea level or above or 

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

adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and artesian heads
INTRODUCTION

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

1943, however, it was decided that uniform practice should be adopted. 

Accordingly, precise datum planes were established approximating the land 

surface at each well. The water levels and artesian heads for all wells 

listed in this report are given in reference to land-surface datum planes.

pressure in observation wells in 1946. The shaded section represents 

the part of the country covered by this volume.

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

for the first tLne, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter 

preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of the older and newer records. Wherever the conversion factor is given in earlier reports it is not 

repeated in this report. New data as to the positions of the measuring 

point and of the bench marks, in feet above or below land-surface datum 

planes, will be published in succeeding annual reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected because
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical and they 

represent the general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the country 

in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1946 the network included 

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

other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly in connection with 

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

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

Changes in ground-water level in 1946 in the southeastern part of the

United States

The average precipitation in the majority of the southeastern States 

was above normal in 1946, but in Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, 

Virginia, and West Virginia it was below normal. The fluctuations of both 

water level and artesian pressure in wells depend,-however, on many factors 

besides the amount of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells 

there are fluctuations caused by differences in the rate of pumping or artesian flow from other wells in the area, but most of the observation wells 

are not noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. A summary of the 

changes in ground-water level is given in the chapter for each State.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water levels in observation wells in Alabamn, which 

were begun in June 1940, were continued through 1946 as a part of the 

ground-water investigations carried on in cooperation with the Alabama 

Geological Survey and the Alabama Department of Public Health. These measurements were begun in connection with an investigation of the availability,

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

I/ 

the Cretaceous formations of Alabama* Upon the completion of the studies

in the Cretaceous area in 1944, the program was expanded and ground-water 

studies were begun in the outcrop area of the Tertiary formations in the 

southern quarter of the State. This investigation of the Tertiary area of 

Alabama was continued through 1946. Progress was made on the comprehensive 

study of the ground-water resources of the entire area while a detailed investigation was completed on the salt-water Encroachment of the shallow 

aquifer in the vicinity of Mobile, the report of which is now being published.

The cooperative program with the Alabama State Health Department, begun in October 1945 to compile correlative data on mottled enamel and tooth 

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

supplies of the Tertiary area, was continued in 1946, the field work for 

which was completed and the report begun.

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

Pickens and Tuscaloosa Counties have been under periodic observation (WaterSupply Papers 907, 937, 945, 987, 1017 ). Prom time to time during the

period 1940-46 observations on some of these wells were discontinued because 

it was decided that they were not giving adeauate information. Of these 

observation wells monthly measurements have been made at Eutaw well 6 and 

a continuous water-stage recorder has been maintained at Clanton well 10 

since 1941. A third well at Scottsboro has a nearly complete record of 

observation since 1936. The earlier observations on this well were made*'by 

the Tennessee Valley Authority. A Stevens automatic water-stage recorder 

was installed in August 1945 on an abandoned well in the city of Selma well 

field. A continuous record has been maintained at the well since its installation. The Selma observation well is near the center of the city well 

field, and is equipped with screens set opposite the producing Eutaw sands 

developed by the other city wells. A record, by wells, of pumpage in the 

field and a record of precipitation are also being maintained.

On March 23 a Stevens weekly continuous recorder was installed on a 

well at the Dothan Water Works, Houston County. Records on this well were 

maintained until July 18, at which time it was necessary to abandon observation because of interference caused by the completion and development of 

a new town well within 20 yards of the observation well.

On August 30 a Stevens-water-stage recorder was reinstalled on Montgomery City well 15a and a continuous record maintained through the end of 

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

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

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

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

6 million gallons of water a day.

Weekly measurements were begun on May 12 in a well lO-J miles southwest 

of Tuscaloosa, in Tuscaloosa County, on U. S. Highway 11. This well reflects shallow water-table conditions.. Monthly measurements were resumed 

on a deep artesian flowing well at Boligee, Greene County. This well is in 

an area of artesian flow from the Eutaw sand underlying the Selma chalk 

group and is representative throughout a large area about Boligee.

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

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

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

of the spring is measured. Because the measurement is taken from a point
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

below the intake for the city supply, the total discharge of the spring is 

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

are being maintained on this project.

Individual measurements on observation wells during 1946 reached a 

total of 243.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Huntsville Spring, Madison County, well J28, at Scottsboro, Jackson 

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

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

area for January, February, March, and April was 28-45 inches, which was 

7.84 inches above normal for this period as a result of abnormally heavy 

rains during January, 5.27 inches above normal, and February, 3.96 inches 

above normal. Rainfall in March, May, and June was slightly above normal, 

while rainfall during April was 1.62 inches below normal. During the 

period July through December 1946 accumulative rainfall was 2-96 inches 

above normal. Total rainfall for the year was 13.32 inches above normal.

Big Spring, in the city of Huntsville, is representative of many limestone springs used for farm, community, and industrial supplies in northern 

Alabama. Big Spring issues fror* a passage at the base of a bluff of massive 

Warsaw limestone. It is confined in a basin and spillway which empties into Big Creek, draining southward to the Tennessee River. Records of Huntsville Spring from November 1928 to March 1930 are published in Special Re-

£/ 

port 16 of the Geological Survey of Alabama. During this early period of

measurement maximum discharge during the spring and winter months approached 

30 million gallons a day. Minimum discharge during the dry summer months 

was approximately 7 million gallons a day. A second series of measurements 

were begun on March 23, 1945, and continued through 1946. Measurements 

made and data collected include pumpage records, spring discharge, and rainfall. The average annual precipitation at Huntsville is 52 inches. During 

the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, and December 1946, when rainfall averaged between 4 and 5 inches a month, the spring 

discharged an average of from 15 to 20 million gallons a day. During the

ALABAMA

months of August, September, and October when the average monthly rainfall 

is generally less than 2 inches, the spring discharges an average of 

5 to 8 million gallons a day. There have been exceptionally low discharge 

conditions, however, when the capacity of the spring was barely sufficient 

to supply the city's demand of approximately 4 million gallons a day. Prom 

a series of records it.appears that when sufficient precipitation falls it 

reaches the spring within 24 hours, indicating that the underground channels or feeders are in near proximity to the spring. An interesting fact 

is that, even though there is a close relationship between spring discharge 

and rainfall, the spring stays clear and does not muddy up. Due to the 

unusually large amount of rainfall throughout 1946, the Huntsville Spring 

discharged at a rate much more than sufficient to meet the city's demand. 

(See fig. 3.)

Well J28 recorded its highest water level of 1-80 feet below landsurface datum on February 10. During January through July the water level 

in .this well fluctuated only slightly. On July 21 the water level began to 

decline slowly and reached its lowest level for the year, 6.71 feet, on 

August 25, 5-03 feet above the lowest level of 1945. On August 25 the 

water level began to rise irregularly until it reached a level of 3.12 feet 

below land-surface datum on December 30. The average water level in 

Scottsboro well J28 for 1946 was considerably higher than that of 1945 

(see fig. 5), due to above-normal precipitation throughout 1946.

Measurement's on well T-15, in Tuscaloosa County, were begun on May 12. 

The water level declined gently until December 22 when it began to rise. 

The highest water level of 28.28 feet below land-surface datum was recorded 

on May 12, while the lowest for the period of observation, 30.47 feet below land-surface datum, was recorded or December 22.

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

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

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

months of January, February, March, and April. The accumulative precipitation recorded for this division during this spring 'recharge period, was 

23.12 inches, which was 2.78 inches above normal. During the drier early 

summer months of May, June, and July accumulative rainfall was 7.27 inches

above normal. During July and August accumulative rainfall is generally 

responsible for recharge of water levels during the hot summer months. 

For this entire period 11.78 inches of precipitation was recorded 1.79 

inches above normal. The rainfall in September and November was 3.74 

inches above normal, while rainfall for October and December was 4.50 

inches below normal. Following is a discussion of the effect of variation 

in precipitation on water-level fluctuations in observation wells.

The Greene County well, at Boligee, had an incomplete record during 

1945. It reached its highest recorded water level of 6.87 feet above landsurface datum on March 30, and its lowest of 6.50 feet above land-surface 

datum on October 31. The water level declined gently from April through 

October, then slowly rose to 6.60 feet above land-surface datum on December 31 at the time of the final 1946 measurement.

The water level in chilton County well 10, at Clanton, reached its 

highest stage of 16.76 feet below land-surface datum on March 30, which 

was 0.02 foot lower than its previous highest stage of April 30, 1945. A 

more gentle decline of the water level took place in the well throughout 

the dry surmer and fall months of 1946 in contrast to a more rapid decline 

during the same period in 1945. Intermittent water table rises during the 

generally dry summer and fall were caused by periodic rains. The well 

reached its lowest stage of 20.26 feet below land-surface datum on November 9, which was 2.14 feet higher than the low water level of October 6 of 

the previous year. Recharge due to early winter rainfall brought the water 

level up to 19.67 feet below land-surface datum by December 28. (See 

fig. 4.)

The highest water-level measurement for Greene County well 6 was 15-95 

feet below land-surface datum recorded for March 30, which was 0.02 foot 

lower than the highest stage recorded on April 2, 1945. The low for this 

well was reached on December 1 when its water level stood at 18.19 feet 

below land-surface datum--9.46 feet higher than the record low of 27.65 

feet at the end of December 1943, and 7.65 feet higher than the recorded 

low of 25.84 feet in November 1945. (See fig. 4.)

The yearly record for the Montgomery well is not complete. The lowest 

level was recorded on October 25 when it reached 122.19 feet below landsurface datum. Two parts of a yearly cycle appear on the hydrograph of 

this well. During September and October the water level was on the decline-
ALABAMA, CHILTON COUNTY 13

Beginning the first of November the water level slowly rose in the well 

until it reached 114.79 feet on December 27, its highest level of 1946.

The highest recorded water level for the Dallas County well, at the 

Selma Water Works, was 13.49 feet below land-surface datum on February 17, 

while the lowest water level of 29.93 feet below land-surface datum was 

recorded on September 6. The water level declined gently from April until 

October, then gradually rose to 16.73 feet below land-surface datum on 

December 27, which was 0.49 foot lower than the water level recorded at 

the end of 1945.

The Houston County well, at the Dothan Water Works, is in the southern division designated by the U. S- Weather Bureau. The accumulative 

rainfall for January, February, March, and April, recorded at the Dotnan 

station, was 22.22 inches, or 3.12 inches above normal. A total rainfall 

of 18.68 inches 4.95 inches above normal was recorded during May, June, 

and July. The measurement on March 23, when the well was first observed, 

was 45.60 feet below land-surface datum . The water level fluctuated 

slightly during the early part of April, and on May 7 it was 42.90 feet 

below land-surface datum, the lowest level recorded during the period of 

measurement. The water level rose slowly in the well to 47.30 feet below 

land-surface datum on July 18, the highest level recorded. Shortly after 

July 18 the well was abandoned because of interference caused by the development of a new city well 20 yards away.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Observations of water levels and artesian pressure in Florida were 

continued in 1946 in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey and 

with several counties and cities of the State. The program is a part 

of an investigation of the ground-water resources of Florida which was 

begun in some parts of the State as early as 1930. Since 1939 an intensive investigation in Dade County has been underway in cooperation with the 

Dade County and the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and Coral Gables. Other 

counties and cities cooperating in such investigations in 1946 include 

Plnellas and Nassau Counties and the cities of Fort Myers, Fort Pierce, 

Lake Worth, Delray Beach, and Pensacola.

At the end of 1946 the program included a total of 359 wells, 41 of 

which were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. During the year 

the program was expanded into 14 additional counties and included 65 wells 

not previously reported, but 114 of the wells previously reported were 

dropped from the program, principally in Palm Beach and Lee Counties where 

special investigations were completed. The table that follows gives the 

distribution by counties of observation wells and water-stage recorders 

and indicates the number of water-level measurements reported for each 

county.

OCCURRENCE OP GROUND WATER

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

cities, industries, farms, citrus groves, and rural homes is obtained 

from a highly productive and extensive aquifer consisting of the Ocala 

limestone and other limestones and dolomites of Eocene, Oligocene, and 

Miocene ages. At most places this aquifer is overlain by a thick section 

of younger materials that include relatively impervious beds which confine 

the water under artesian pressure. The water is under sufficient pressure 

to rise above the land surface over roughly half of the State, including 

a band about 20 miles wide along the east coast, all the area south of 

Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee River Valley, and other areas.

The shallow aquifers supply most of the water used in southern Florida 

and at some places along the east coast south of Duval County, where the 

artesian water is too highly mineralized for general use. They are also 

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

composed of limestone, sand, shell marl, and coquina, and range in age 

from Miocene to Pleistocene. Among them is the Tamiami formation in southeastern Florida, one of the most highly permeable aquifers in the world. 

Generally, however, the shallow aquifers are less permeable and less productive than the deeper limestone aquifer.
18 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE

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

generally somewhat higher in 1946 than they were in 1945, owing chiefly 

to more rainfall. The larger increases in rainfall occurred in west 

Florida, where the precipitation was above normal at all the rain gages 

of the U. S. Weather Bureau. At Crestview, in Okaloosa County, the 

Weather Bureau recorded 94.35 inches of rain in 1946, more than anywhere 

else in the State.

Artesian pressures in Duval and Nassau Counties, in northeastern 

Florida, were higher in 1946 than in the previous year in all observation 

wells. The largest increases in pressure occurred near Fernandina, 

Nassau County, where the heavy withdrawal from the upper section of the 

limestone aquifer by Rayonier, Inc., was decreased by several million 

gallons a day after the deeper section of limestone was developed in 

1945 (see Water Supply Paper 1024, p. 13 ). The artesian pressures in 

northeastern Florida respond slowly and only slightly to increases or 

decreases in rainfall, owing to the fact that the areas in which recharge 

occurs are remote.

The water level in Escambia County well 45, at Cantonment, continued 

to decline progressively as the result of heavy pumpage by the Florida 

Pulp and Paper Company. However, it rose slightly during the last half 

of 1946, probably because of abnormally heavy rainfall. The precipitation 

at the Pensacola station in 1946 was 79.99 inches, 22.14 inches above 

normal and 20.94 inches above that in 1945. In the southern part of 

Escambia County water levels were slightly higher than they were in 1945, 

but in well 60, on Bayou Chlco, where salt water encroachment has occurred, 

the water level remained below sea level as it has since the record began 

in 1940.

In Sarasota County well 9 the water level reached a record low of 

4.40 feet below the datum on April 12, but rose to 1.18 feet above the 

datum, the highest since 1943, on August 24. The withdrawal of water for 

irrigating truck farms has caused a progressive decline of water levels 

in Sarasota County. The total decline in well 9 over the period of record, 

beginning in 1930, has been about 4 feet.

20 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Water levels in southern Florida in 1946 were, on the average, higher 

than they have been since 1942. The rise in water levels was caused by an 

increase in rainfall over that in the previous year. At some stations the 

increase was as much as 14.06 inches (Hialeah) and 12.22 inches (Peters). 

The total rainfall at the Miami station in 1946 was 39.04 inches, 4.50 

inches more than in 1945, but 18.73 inches below the normal. Other 

selected stations in Dade County at which increases were observed are as 

follows: Coconut Grove (7.49 inches); Homestead (9.99 inches); Kendal 

(4.76 inches); and Pennsuco (2.69 inches). No decrease in rainfall 

occurred at any station in Dade County. Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the 

close correlation between precipitation and ground-water levels.

Although the rainfall was higher than in 1945 in Dade County, it was 

lower in adjacent counties. For example, at Hypoluxo, near Lake Worth, 

in Palm Beach County, the rainfall was 53.34 inches, 3.07 inches less than 

in 1945; at Fort Pierce, in St. Lucie County, it was 43.59 inches, 8.29 

inches less than in 1945; and in Fort Myers, in Lee County, it was 42.45 

inches, 10.13 inches less than.in 1945.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in selected wells 

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

of Mines, Mining and Geology, were continued in 1946. Since 1938, when the 

program embraced wells in only three counties Chatham, Dougherty and 

Glynn the observation-well program was steadily expanded until in 1943 it 

included 231 wells in 29 counties, of which 7 counties were in the northern part of the State. During 1944, chiefly due to shortage of personnel, 

this work was rather sharply curtailed but has, with some exceptions, 

been subsequently carried forward on a level comparable to that of 1943. 

In 1946 automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 6 wells during 

the entire year and 789 individual measurements of water level and artesian 

pressure were made on wells not equipped with water-stage recorders. The 

measurements in Baker and Early Counties were made by the Emory University 

Field Station, 11 miles southwest of Newton. These measurements form 

part of the hydrolbgic data collected by that station in connection with 

its research on malaria control.

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

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

for various reasons, measurements on some of these wells have had to be 

discontinued until, in 1946, the program included only 43 wells which are 

divided among the counties as follows: Clayton, 5; Cobb, 17} DeKalb, 6; 

Fulton, 13; Henry, 1; Spalding, 1. The city of Atlanta and its environs 

occupy parts of four of these counties.

Water-level records for 1945 have been published in Water-Supply Paper 

1024, pp. 86-110.

The following table lists all counties in Georgia for which records of

water-level measurements are given in this report.

OCCURRENCE OP GROUND WATER

The geologic map of Georgia shows the State divided into three major 

geologic provinces, namely, the Paleozoic area, the crystalline area, and 

the Coastal Plain. The Paleozoic area, which is in the northwestern part 

of the State, is the smallest of the three, and no observation .wells have 

yet been established in it. The crystalline area is considerably larger 

than the Paleozoic and lies south and east of it. observation wells have 

been established and maintained in six counties that lie in the crystalline 

area, but most of the wells are in the four counties in which the city of 

Atlanta and its environs are situated. The Coastal Plain is the largest 

of the three provinces and larger than the other two combined. It covera 

an area of about 35,000 square miles, or about 60 percent of the entire 

State. It embraces all that part of the State lying south of the Pall 

Line, which passes approximately through Columbus, Macon, Milledgeville, 

and Augusta, and marks the northern limit of the sedimentary rocks, which 

overlie the older crystalline rocks. More than 75 percent of the observation wells in Georgia are in this province. The Coastal Plain is underlain
GEORGIA 99

by water-bearing formations that range in age from Upper Cretaceous to 

Recent.

The observation wells in the crystalline area of Georgia end in 

igneous and metamorphic rocks or surficial material weathered from them. 

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

records end in limestones of Oligocene or upper Eocene age, which are the 

principal artesian aquifers in southeast Georgia. Chatham County well 

343, a shallow well 12 miles southwest of Savannah, ends in deposits of 

Recent age and therefore serves to illustrate the fluctuation of the water 

table in formations of that age in this area.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL 

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

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

/ 

therefore, stands highest with respect to the surface of the ground during

the months of April and May, when the precipitation is greatest, and lowest 

in December or January, when the precipitation is least. The fluctuations 

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

channel and its position in relation to the topography of the surrounding 

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

For example, in DeKalb County well 40, which is near a small perennial 

surface stream, the fluctuation in water level for the year was only 0.81 

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

stream, the fluctuation for the year was 5.05 feet. Again in Cobb County 

well 83, which is in a broad valley, the fluctuation for the year was 

1.86 feet, whereas, in the same county, in well 85, which is on top of 

a high hill, it was 11.42 feet and this difference existed in spite of the 

fact that the two wells are near each other. Other factors responsible 

for differences in fluctuation from well to well are depth and method of 

construction; dug wells seem to respond much more sharply to seasonal 

precipitation than drilled wells.

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

Ocala limestone of upper Eocene age rose during 1946. In the Savannah 

area, which includes the industrial area northeast of the city proper, 

artesian water levels averaged about 2|r feet higher during 1946 than during
.100 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

1945. This condition is believed to be a dire-ct result of decreased 

pumpage during 1946 in the area of heaviest pumpage, that is, the industrial 

area of Savannah. Accordingly, in 1946 the total metered pumpage in the 

Savannah area, which is the combined pumpage of the Savannah municipal 

waterworks and the Union Bag and Paper Corporation, decreased by 575,015,914 

gallons over that of 1945. The artesian water levels in Chatham County, 

outside the city of Savannah proper, showed an average rise of about 1 

foot. In Wilmington and Tybee Islands the average increase during 1946 

amounted to 0.93 foot. In the southern part of Chatham County water levels 

showed an average increase of 1.06 feet over those of 1945. In the 

northern part of the county, as far north as the county line, the average 

increase in water levels was 0.77 foot, while in the western part of the 

county the water levels showed an increase of 0.96 foot over the average 

for 1945.

In Bryan County all water levels averaged somewhat higher in 1946 

than in 1945, ranging from 0.1 foot to 0.96 foot higher in 1946. Average 

water levels in observation wells in Liberty County were above those 

recorded during 1945, ranging between 0.15 foot and 0.99 foot higher in

1946. Likewise, in Mclntosh County nearly all wells showed increases in 

average water levels, the average increase ranging between 0.61 foot and 

0.72 foot higher in 1946 than in 1945. On the whole, average water levels in 

Glynn County remained practically the same as compared with those recorded 

during 1945, the average for all observation wells in this county being 

about 0.2 foot lower than the average for these same wells in 1945. 

This condition prevailed during 1946 In spite of decreased heavy pumpage 

in 1946 as compared with 1945. Accordingly, the total metered pumpage in 

the Brunswick area, which is the combined pumpage of the Peoples Water 

Service Company (Brunswick municipal waterworks) and the Brunswlck Pulp 

and Paper Company, decreased by 91,843,230 gallons during 1946 as compared 

with 1945. Excluding the St. Marys area, water levels in Camden County 

ave/raged about 0.78 foot higher in 1946 than in 1945. In the St. Marys 

area, due to an Increase in pumpage of 50,000,000 gallons during 1946 

as compared with 1945, by the St. Marys Kraft Corporation, an average 

decline in water levels amounting to approximately 0.86 foot was recorded 

during 1946. Most of the increased water levels in the Coastal counties

Figure 7. Graphs showing fluctuations of water level in well 343, 

Barbour Lathrop Plant Introduction Stat
102 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

appear to have been due to natural conditions, as the artesian water levels 

in wells in Camden, Wayne, Pierce, Brantley, and Charlton Counties, which 

are west and south of Glynn County, were 0.22 foot to 1.01 feet higher 

during 1946 than were the average water levels for these same wells in 1945.

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

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

and shows the effect of precipitation (see fig. 7). Accordingly, the 

average water level for this well was 0.16 foot higher in 1946 as compared 

with 1945, in spite of the fact that this area received 10.9 fewer inches 

of rainfall in 1946. The reason for this is thought to be due to better 

distribution of rainfall during 1946 as compared with 1945.

In North Georgia, where water-table conditions prevail, and consequently 

where the effect of precipitation is felt, all water levels, with the 

exception of Cobb and Spalding Counties, averaged somewhat higher in 1946 

than in 1945. With few exceptions, water levels in Cobb County were lower 

in 1946. There are several basic causes accounting for this condition, 

but the chief cause is thought to be a deficiency in rainfall during 

1946 as compared with 1945.

Well IS, Spalding County, at the Georgia State Experiment Station, 

Experiment, is a dug well, 30.5 feet in depth, and shows the effect of 

precipitation. This well showed an average annual increase in 1946 

amounting to 1.95 feet over that of 1945, or an increase of about 2 feet. 

This condition prevailed here in spite of a deficiency in total rainfall 

in 1946 of 13.48 inches. Here again, as in well 343, Chatham County, the 

increase in water level in this well during 1946 is thought to be due to 

better distribution of rainfall during 1946 as compared with 1945.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The investigation of the ground-water resources in the Louisville area, 

which was initiated in 1943 in cooperation with the Geological Division of 

the Kentucky Department of Mines and Minerals, was continued in 1946 in 

cooperation with Jefferson County and the city of Louisville. This investigation, which was started because of a critical shortage of ground water 

for industrial use, was continued in order that records of water level and 

pumpage would be available to prevent the recurrence of a critical shortage.

A program to investigate the ground-water resources of the area north-t 

east of Louisville, begun in 1945 in cooperation with the Louisville Water 

Company, was continued in 1946. This investigation covers an area with 

very small pumpage at the present time and includes a detailed study of 

supplies available by induced infiltration from the Ohio River.

The investigation of the ground-water supplies of Bourbon, Payette, 

Jessamine, and Scott Counties, in central Kentucky, begun in 1945, was continued in 1946 in cooperation with the Geological Division of the Kentucky 

Department of Mines and Minerals.

In July 1946, in cooperation with the Geological Division of the Department of Mines and Minerals, a reconnaissance survey of ground-water 

problems of the State was begun.

As part of the investigation in the Louisville area, periodic waterlevel measurements were made in 134 wells. A total of 1,725 water-level 

measurements was made during 1946. Observations were made monthly in all 

wells and extra measurements were made during floods in wells affected by 

the Ohio River and in wells in heavily pumped areas. Additional observations were made in connection with pumping tests. Automatic water-stage 

recorders (float type) were maintained on 2 wells during the entire year 

and on 22 wells during part of the year; records obtained by automatic instruments total 140 months.

A multillthed report, "Ground-water resources of the southwestern part 

of the Louisville area, Kentucky" by M. I. Rorabaugh, was released in December 1946 through the Geological Survey, U. S. Department of the Interior. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

At the close of 1946, storage of ground water for the Louisville area 

as a whole was about the same as at the close of 1945, although parts of 

the area ahowed gains or losses.

In the distillery area, south of Algonquin Parkway, water levels averaged about 2.5 feet above those at the close of 1945, and in the "Rubbertown" area the gain during the year was about 2.0 feet. These gains reflected the curtailment of distillery operations because of the limitation 

on use of grain and reduced activities in the rubber plants.

The entire area north of Algonquin Parkway showed a loss of stored 

water during 1946, the water levels being 1.0 foot to 1.5 feet lower than 

those of December 1945. This loss may be attributed to two factors. First, 

loss of water to the "Rubbertown" cone which is at a lower elevation; and 

second, deficient rainfall during 1946. This area receives most of its 

natural recharge from rainfall.

In the downtown area water levels, which reflect heavy pumping for air 

conditioning, dropped 2.5 feet during the year. The low point reached in 

September was the lowest of record in this area.

Figure 8 shows graphs covering the past 10 years for wells representative of each of the heavily pumped areas. Well 47-12-1 is in the distillery area, well 45-14-1 is in the downtown area, and well 49-13-24 is in the 

'Rubbertown" area. Bar graphs of estimated average yearly pumpage for all 

the Louisville area are shown at the bottom of the illustration and graphs 

of estimated natural recharge are shown for the past 3 years. The estimates of pumpage are based on information furnished by industries, and recharge estimates are based on pumpage records and differences of water 

levels as determined by contours. In 1946, estimated average pumpage of 37 

million gallons a day exceeded estimated natural recharge by a narrow 

margin.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The wells for which water-level measurements are listed in the 

following tables are all located in Jefferson County. Records for seven 

wells in the Louisville area, located in Indiana, are published in WaterSupply Paper 1071. The Louisville area lies between latitude 85° and 

86° N. and longitude 58° and 39° W. The area has been subdivided into 

quadrangles formed by the 1-minute meridians and parallels. Wells in 

each quadrangle are numbered beginning with 1. Of nearly 700 wells inventoried only the ones selected for observation are shown on figure 9. 

Wells are designated by a composite of three numbers. The minutes of 

longitude of the quadrangle, the minutes of latitude of the quadrangle, and 

the number of the well in that quadrangle. Thus well 45-15-2 is the second 

well inventoried in the 1-minute quadrangle west of 85° 45' longitude and 

north of 58° 15' latitude. See figure for well locations.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water Investigations in Maryland were continued during 1946 in 

cooperation with the Maryland Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. The observation-well program, which was established in 1943 as a 

part of these investigations, has been continued and expanded during 1946. 

The major part of this expansion consisted of the establishment of 44 wells, 

chiefly in Anne Arundel County, but several observation wells were established in western Maryland. In 1946 a total of 121 wells were under observation in the State, and 691 individual tape measurements were made in 

these wells during the year. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on five wells during part of the year and on seven wells throughout 

£he year.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The cone of depression caused by the heavy pumpage in the Baltimore 

area extends beyond the area into some of the adjacent counties. Most of 

the observation wells in this area are near localities of heavy pumping and 

therefore the water levels fluctuate widely from day to day. As only a 

small percentage of the pumpage in the area is metared, it has not been 

possible to correlate the fluctuations of the water level with the changes 

in pumpage.

The total pumpage of ground water in the Baltimore industrial area 

during 1945 was estimated to be about 35 million gallons a day. From the 

water-level measurements made in 1946, it appears that the pumpage from the 

Patuxent formation was approximately the same as in 1945 and the pumpage 

from the Patapsco formation was Increased somewhat over the pumpage in 1945.

167
168 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The wide fluctuations of the water level in wells in the various districts of the area make it difficult to determine accurately the net change 

in the water level or artesian head; therefore, the following values of net 

change in the two principal aquifers should be considered approximate.

Patuxent formation

Sparrows Point district: No change 

Dundalk-Canton district: No change 

Highlandtown district: Hn change 

Harbor district: Rise of 2 feet 

Fairfield-Curtis Bay

district: No change to a

decline of 5

feet

Patapsco formation

Sparrows Point district: Decline of 8

feet 

Dundalk-Canton district: No change

Depth to water level in the newly established wells in western 

Maryland was measured only during the last 3 or 4 months of the year, consequently the net change in water levels for the year could not be determined. However, for the period of measurement, an average decline in water 

level of about 2 feet was measured in all wells except well Wa-Dh 1, at 

Sharpsburg, which showed a rise of 2 feet. The water level in well Wa-Bh 3, 

at Hagerstown, declined about 16 feet which was the greatest decline observed in any of the observation wells in western Maryland.

Of the 17 observation wells in Anne Arundel County, 4 showed no net 

change in water level and the other wells showed a decline of 1 to 2 feet. 

In general, wells both in artesian and water-table aquifers showed a net 

decline of the water level for the year in this county.

No new record high or low water level was measured in well Mont-Pf 1, 

at Colesville, during the year. The highest and lowest mean daily water 

level in the well were as follows: January 1, 12.65 feet; September 26, 

17.39 feet. The net decline for the year was approximately 5 feet.

In most cases, the general decline in water level throughout the State 

may be attributed to a decrease in the amount of precipitation. The average yearly precipitation for Maryland was 41.71 inches and the precipitation during 1946 was 37.26 inches or 4.45 inches below the average,

MISSISSIPPI

By P. L. Carroll and T. J- Renderson, Jr.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in Mississippi, begun in 1938, was 

continued during 1946 in cooperation with the Mississippi State Geological 

Survey. Water-level measurements and artesian pressures were made in 47 

wells in 19 counties in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the Gulf Coast 

area, and selected areas in the northern and eastern sections of the State. 

Measurements in certain wells were discontinued because these wells had 

become unsuitable for observation purposes or the measurements were of 

doubtful character.

Of the wells measured during 1946, four are water-table wells and 

43 are artesian wells. The artesian wells were measured by means of a 

pressure-type recorder ga^e, float-operated water-stage recorder, or tape 

line. The seasonal measurements were made with a pressure gage, tape line, 

or hose. Well Lafayette 37 was measured monthly with a tape line.

NORTH CAROLINA.

By M. J. Mundbrff 

PROGRAM OP WORK

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

ir« 1946 in cooperation with the Horth Carolina Department of Conservation 

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

the State, begun in 1941, was also continued.

Twelve observation wells were added to the program during 1946. All 

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

the piezometric surface of water in the Tuscaloosa and Yorktown formations 

and in Eocene strata. One well measured in 1945 was not measured in 1946, 

leaving a total of 38 wells which were measured at varying intervals during 

1946. Water-stage recorders are used on 9 wells, 2 wells are measured 

daily, 2 are measured twice weekly, 3 are measured weekly, and 22 are 

measured monthly.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

In North Carolina the fluctuations of the water level correlate with 

precipitation, but the correlation is complicated by a number of modifying 

factors.

Vifith normal precipitation the cycle of water-level fluctuations begins 

with a rise in December or January. The water level generally rises until 

April after which it begins to decline. The decline continues, interrupted 

only by rises of short duration caused by summer rainstorms, until the 

following December or January.

The ground-water level rises in late winter and early spring, in spite 

of the fact that there is less rainfall during this season than in summer 

and autumn, because very little water is used by vegetation or lost by 

evaporation so that a much larger proportion of winter and early spring 

rainfall reaches the water table. Although the amount of rainfall is

larger in the late spring, summer, and autumn months, much of it is used

by plants, or evaporates, so that very little reaches the water table except during heavy and prolonged rainfall.

The average rainfall in 1946 for all U. S. Weather Bureau stations in 

the State was 48.96 inches, 0.53 inch below normal. However, the precipitation was not uniformly distributed over the State as the Eastern Division 

received 4.21 inches more precipitation than normal, whereas the Central 

and Western Divisions received, respectively, 3.87 inches and 2.63 inches 

below-normal precipitation.

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

correlation with rainfall. In the majority of wells the rise in water 

level occurs within a few days after the rainfall, but in some wells there 

is a considerable lUme lag between rainfall ana rise in water level. This 

time lag is especially noticeable in Surry County well 1 and in some of the 

newly established wells ending in artesian aquifers of the Coastal Plain.

Although total rainfall for the year was close to or above normal 

throughout most of the State, rainfall for December was deficient in all 

parts of the State, and averaged only slightly above half the normal amount. 

This deficiency prevented the wells from making their usual December recovery. Of the 22 wells in which the water level was measured at both the 

end of 1945 and 1946, 18 showed a net loss, 3 a net gain, and 1 was the 

same at the end of 1946 as it was at the end of 1945.

All 3 wells showing a net gain in 1946 are in the western part of the 

State, which had considerably more precipitation in December than the rest 

of the State.

The following table gives the highest and lowest level reached in e,ach 

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

nearby wells. 

. 30.

Wells in the Piedmont section of North Carolina are all dug wells and 

obtain their water from the subsoil formed by weathering or crystalline 

rocks such as granite, gneiss, schist, and slate. The water in these wells 

is not under pressure and the fluctuation of the water in them reflects 

fluctuations of the water table. The water level in all of these wells 

rose during the first 2 or 3 months of 1946 and, in some of them, continued 

to rise until June or July. The water level declined in most wells during 

the last 6 months of the year.

Wells in the Coastal Plain include both shallow dug wells and deeper 

wells entering artesian aquifers. The shallow dug wells respond very 

quickly to precipitation, usually showing a rise after every rainfall of 

any consequence. The wells in artesian aquifers, being some distance from 

the area of recharge, generally do not show a correlation with individual 

rainfalls but do show a seasonal trend. These observation wells in artesian 

aquifers were established in May 1946. The water levels in five wells had 

been measured previously in 1942. Of these five the water level in three 

had risen considerably between the measurement in 1942 and the first
208 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

measurement in 1946, in one it had declined and in one it was the same. 

The water level in the majority of the wells reached its lowest level in 

October and November. In all but one well it had started to rise by the 

end of December.

PROGRAM OP WORK

An observation-well program in the Tiger River area (see U. S. Geol. 

Survey Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 907, 937, 945, and 987} 

was begun in 1932 in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. 

Department of Agriculture. At that time observations were being made in 

28 wells in the Tiger River area. In 1939 measurements were begun on 10 

wells in the Savannah area in cooperation with the Division of Mines, 

Mining, and Geology of the Georgia State Division of Conservation. (See 

U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Papers 945 and 987.) In 1942 a shallow 

bored well on the Poinsett State Park grounds, in Sumter County, was selected for the purpose of determining the fluctuation of the water table in 

that area.

In 1942 the number of wells in the Tiger River area had been reduced 

to three wells, the others having gone dry. Measurements on these three 

wells were discontinued at the end of 1942. The observations on the wells 

in the Savannah area were temporarily discontinued in 1943, and the last 

measurements were made on the well in Sumter County in 1944.

In 1945 a systematic program of ground-water investigation was begun 

in South Carolina in cooperation with the South Carolina Research, Planning, 

and Development Board. As an Integral part of this program, measurements 

were resumed In the last quarter of 1946 on some of the above wells In 

addition to others scattered over the State, the majority in the Coastal 

Plain region. These observations were made for the purpose of selecting and 

establishing a series of permanent observation wells. During this period, 

measurements were made monthly, where possible, on the wells which are 

included in this report.

SOUTH CAROLINA, BERKELEY COUNTY 223

PRECIPITATION

Precipitation in South Carolina was about 5 percent below normal in 

1946. July was the wettest month and December was the driest. The average 

annual precipitation was 44.83 inches, a deficiency of 2.80 inches. The 

average snowfall was 0.5 inch, or 1.8 inches below normal.

The average precipitation for fall months was 10.10 inches, or 0.82 

inch above normal. The average precipitation for October was 4.84 inches, 

or 1.95 inches above normal, for November it was 2.80 inches, or 0.50 inch 

above normal, but for December it was 1.26 inches, or 2.33 inches below 

normal. This was the third lowest December rainfall on record. This decline in rainfall is shown in the lower water levels, especially in Marlboro, Berkeley, and Lexington Counties. The decrease in precipitation in 

Spartanburg County during December is not reflected very well by the waterlevel measurements.

Generally, except where the well is affected by nearby pumpage, the 

water levels correlate with precipitation, although, in some cases, the 

effect of rainfall is reflected only after a time lag of several days to 

weeks. This lag is greatest in the wells in the weathered crystalline 

rocks such as granites, slates, and schists.

PROGRAM OP WORK

During 1946 the program of water-level measurements in wells in 

Memphis and in Shelby County was continued as a part of the investigation 

of the ground-water resources of the Memphis area in cooperation with the 

Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division.

During the year water-level measurements were made periodically in 

45 wells. In 30 wells, 1,166 tape measurements were made, while for the 

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

4,847 lowest daily water levels were determined from recorder charts. A 

total of 6,013 measurements are reported. Five observation wells were 

added to the program during 1946.

PDMPAGE

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

so-called "500-foot" sand is estimated to be about 85 million gallons, 

about 10 million gallons a day less than the average daily withdrawals from 

the sand during 1945. The average daily pumpage from the "1,400-foot" 

sand was about 9 million gallons, the same as during 1945. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In general, the water levels in wells screened in the "500-foot" 

sand continued to rise during 1946. The rise, which began near the end 

of 1945, was brought about by the curtailment of production in certain 

industries which, in turn, resulted in less water being pumped from the 

water-bearing sands.

Water levels in observation wells ranged from about 1.3 feet lower 

to 5.1 feet higher than the lowest levels of the summer of 1945. The 

average rise over the area, based upon measurements made in 26 observation 

wells, was about 2 feet. In only one observation well (79:7-17) did the 

measurements show that the water level reached a lower point than the low 

of 1945. 225

Figure 12 shows the hydrographs of water-level fluctuations in typical 

wells in the Memphis area. Well 79:1-1 is north of Memphis and well 

79:1-3 is east of the city. (See fig. 11.) The water levels in these 

wells probably reflect the effect of all the pumping from the "SOO-foot" 

sand in the Memphis area and probably indicate the true trend of the water 

levels of the area. The greater range of fluctuations in well 79:1-1 is 

attributed to the fact that this well is nearer the areas of heavy pumpage 

than is well 79:1-3.

Well 79:7-17 is in the Parkway well field of the Memphis Light, Gas 

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

level in an active well field is extremely large.

INTRODUCTION

The two programs of water-level measurements, begun in June 1928 

in cooperation with the Virginia Geological Survey, were continued in 

1946. The wells included in one of these programs are in the northern 

part of the State, and those included in the other are ( in the southeastern 

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

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

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart 

Program of work

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

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

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

total of about 315 individual measurements of water level was made during 

1946 by the wetted-tape method.

In addition to the six observation wells maintained in northern 

Virginia there are also two recording rain gages. The two rain gages are 

situated so that one lies on each side of the drainage basin of the headwaters of Difficult Run. The Bacon rain gage, on the property formerly 

owned by Mr. Nathaniel Bacon, near the Bacon well, has been in operation 

since December 1934. The Manion rain gage, on the property formerly owned 

by Mr. M. F. Manion, on the Lee Highway, was installed in December 1937. 

The hourly and daily records of these two rain gages during recent years

!/ have been published monthly by the U. S. Weather Bureau. The streamgaging station near the headwaters of Difficult Run known as the Beecher

2/

Gage, was discontinued in July 1946 and its recorder removed.

The six observation wells and the two recording rain ga^es in northern 

Virginia received a general overhauling in the latter half of 1946. Concrete bases were constructed for the rain gages as replacements for the 

old wooden bases. The rain gages were removed at this time and brought 

into the V/ashington office of the D. S. Weather Bureau for recalibration 

and adjustment. Three of the observation wells equipped with wooden recorder houses were painted and general repairs were made where necessary. 

Fluctuations of water level

Inasmuch as the six observation wells in the northern part of Virginia 

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

levels are greatly affected by precipitation. The precipitation and departure from normal at V/ashington, D. C., in 1946, which are representative 

of the precipitation in the northern part of Virginia, are given for each 

month and for the year in the following table.

It will be seer, from the preceding table that the precipitation was 

almost 7-| inches below normal in 1946 in contrast to the more than 3-g 

inches above normal precipitation recorded during 1945. This decrease in 

precipitation is reflected in the net decline in water levels in all of 

the wells in the northern Virginia area.

The following table has been compiled from data for 1945 on the six 

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

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

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

As indicated by this summary the greatest decline in water level 

occurred in the Bell well, near Tysons Corner, where the water level was 

6.82 feet lower at the end of the year than at the beginning. The greatest 

range in water-level fluctuation also occurred in this well, where the 

difference between the highest and lowest stages was 9.18 feet. The 

average net decline for the four deepest wells, the Bacon, Halls Hill, 

Jefferson, and Ross wells, was 4.32 feet, which indicates a marked decrease 

in ground-water storage since December 1945. With the exception of the 

Jefferson and Swart wells, the lowest water levels recorded during 1946 

in the other four wells occurred in December. The lowest stage in the 

Jefferson well occurred near the end of October and in the Swart well, 

about the middle of September.

Although some recharge occurred in February, the greatest recharge 

occurred in May and the highest water levels for the year in all of the 

wells occurred in late May and early June. This was due, for the most 

part, to the excessive amount of rain that fell during May more than 3 

inches above normal. Figure 13 shows the weekly fluctuations of water 

level which occurred in the six observation wells in northern Virginia 

during 1946, the weekly average water level for the four deepest wells, 

and the weekly precipitation at Washington, D. C.

254 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA

By D. J. Cederstrom

Program of work

Eight observation wells were included in the program at the end of 

the year. Three of the wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders actuated by floats. Tape measurements were also made, generally 

about once a week. A total of 314 measurements was made in 1946.

A recharge experiment was carried out in a Coastal Plain well whereby 

fresh water was added to the underground reservoir and subsequently pumped 

back to determine the amount of mixing with the brackish ground water. A 

paper entitled "Genesis of ground waters in the Coastal Plain of Virginia" 

by D. J. Cederstrom was published in Ecomonic Geology, vol. 41, pp. 218-245. 

Fluctuations of water level 

Petersburg area

Measurements were continued on the Pilcher well near Petersburg 

(Chesterfield County well 36). (See fig. 14.) At the beginning of the 

year water level continued to rise sharply and on January 15 was 13.1 feet 

below land-surface datum or about 2 feet higher than at the same time in 

the preceding year. The water level declined only moderately in the spring 

and early summer months and was generally-from 1^ to 2 feet lower than the 

January high stage. A complete recovery took place early in July in response to heavy rainfall but the midsummer and early fall decline that 

followed was greater than the spring decline. By November 5 the water 

level was 17 feet below land-surface datum and remained at about that level 

for the rest of the year.

Rainfall for the year at Richmond was nearly normal although precipitation was above normal only in May, June, and July. As a result, 

practically all of the heavy rains which fell contributed greatly to growing vegetation and the ground water increment in those months was small. 

Hence, the water levels tended to decline throughout the year in the Pilcher 

well, except for a brief partial recovery early in July, and the net loss 

in water stage was about 4 feet.

256 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, SOUTHBASTOJ* .STATES

Hopewell area

Measurements of water level in well 15, Prince George County, at 

Hopewell, indicate that artificial recharge, for the purpose of storing 

cold water, was begiin at the Solvay Process Company before December 1944. 

During January and mdst of February 1946 the water level"stood between 53 

and 34 feet below land surface, whareas in the subsequent period (March, 

April, and May) of slight discharge and no recharge, the water level wag 

about 36 feet below land surface at the Old Dominion Water Company observation well* Further, sharp short-time fluctuations in water level, 

characteristic of the recharge period, are almost entirely absent in the 

succeeding nonrecharge period.

On June 4 summer pumping began at the Solvay Process Company and the 

water level in the observation w;ell declined 11$ feet by July 1 and an 

additional 3 feet by July 26. Water level remained at the low level of 

about 49^ feet below the measuring point until November 13, when pumping 

was discontinued.

The water level in the observation well recovered after the cessation 

of pumping and on December 30 stood 37.7 feet below the.land surface. This 

is believed to be the normal water level at the observation well site, 

indicating that artificial recharge of the winter of 1945-46 had not yet 

begun.

Sussex County

Weekly measurements of water level in Sussex County well 90, the Jeb 

S. White well, at Wakefield, were continued in 1946. During the course of 

the year the water levels fluctuated within very narrow limits, probably 

in response to local very moderate discharge. There appears to have been 

an over-all decline of about 1 foot, attributed to heavy industrial pumping 

at Franklin, 20 miles to the south. An accelerated de'cline, which began in 

1942 and continued in 1943, had diminished in 1944 and was negligible in 

1945. The record of this well thus parallels closely the record of water 

level declines in the Franklin area.

Franklin area

Measurements made on Isle of Wight County well 161, at Franklin, show 

that water levels continue a very gradual decline, about 1 foot during the 

course of the year, due to almost continuous heavy pumping at the nearby 

Chesapeake-Camp Corporation pulp mill. Teaip6rary shutdown of either one
VIRGINIA, PRINCE 3BOHGE COUBTT 257

of the two discharging wells resulted in brief recovery of water level, aa 

seen in measurements made on February 11, April 29, July 8, and September 

2.

The measurement made on December 15, 1946, on the courthouse well at 

Courtland, (Southampton County well 89) showed the water level to be 0.75 

foot lower than on December 8, 1945.

The measurements made on the Virginian Railway well at Sebrell showed 

that no decline occurred in 1946.

York-James peninsula

Measurements were continued on Milstea'd well 1, at Fort Bust is, 

Warwick County. Water levels fluctuated within very narrow limits in response to variations in discharge of ground water at Fort Eustis. In 

general, water levels were about the same as in 1945.

WEST VIRGINIA

By H. P. Johnston 

PROGRAM OF WORK

$h* observation-well program in West Virginia was continued in 1946 in 

cooperation with the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey as part 

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

During the year water levels were measured periodically in 24 wells 

and once in over 100 wells. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained 

on 4 wells, 8 wells were measured weekly, 3 biweekly, 4 monthly, and 14 at 

irregular intervals. A total of 1,574 individual measurements of water 

level in wells or flow from springs and wells are listed in this report. 

Several hundred additional measurements of water level that were made during detailed testing of local water-supply installations are not listed aa 

these records cover a relatively short period of time.

The general investigations of the ground-water resources in the State 

were continued during the year. Particular attention was given to the 

alluvial deposits along the Ohio River and Kanawha River. Detailed investigations were continued in the Parkersburg area where three large installations of collector-type wells were completed during the year. Serious 

shortages of water supply occurred in some parts of the State in the second 

half of the year. Data on local ground-water conditions furnished by the 

State and Federal Geological Surveys were used extensively throughout the 

State by municipal and individual groups during the year. 

FLUOfSiTIQSS COMHASKR LEVEL

The average precipitation in West Virginia during 1946, as recorded by 

the Weather Bureau, D. S> Department of Commerce, was 36.60 inches, which 

Is 6.51 inches below normal and 13.77 inches less than in 1945. However, 

the precipitation varied greatly from month to month in the different 

sections of the State. Precipitation was 6.01 inches below normal

in the northeastern panhandle division. 5.68 inches below normal in the 

northern division, and 6.79 inches below normal in the southern division. 

Above-normal precipitation occurred only in the second quarter of the year*

The water table generally rises after or during periods, of heavy precipitation and declines during dry periods. However, the effects of precipitation on the height of the water table may be modified considerably bjf 

other factors su6h as the soil moisture content, transpiration and evapora-* 

tion, and the freezing of the soil. Water levels generally were above 

normal as the year opened owing to the above-normal rainfall in 1946. The 

water levels declined during the last half of the year but were near normal 

as the year ended.

The water levels in wells ending in bedrock In areas of little or no 

pumpage fluctuated moderately during 1946 and were near normal »t the end 

of the year. In the heavily pimped areas at Morgantown and Charleston, the 

water levels were above normal for the year. The higher water level* may 

have been caused in part by the reduction in punpage for air-conditioning 

during the relatively mild summer* The water level in well 9-6-27, at 

pforgantown, was considerably above normal for the year. The cauee of this 

high position of the water level la not known at the present time. Bit 

ftquifer tapped by this well crops out at least 5 miles east of Morgantown, 

hence, there may be an appreciable time lag between the time of precipitation and a measurable effect on the water level in this well.

The water level in well 9-6-46, at Morgantown, a water-table well, wag 

 it its lowest recorded level, 15.80 feet below the land surface, on September 26, due chiefly to deficiency in precipitation.

The water level was above normal throughout the year in well 40-5-1, 

at Nitro. The seasonal decline in September and October was not as great 

as in former years.

The position of the water levels in the wells ending in the alluvium 

along the Ohio River is related directly to the quantity of water that infiltrates into the alluvium from the river. The pumpage in this section 

t»as fairly constant throughout the year.

WBLL-HUMBERINQ SYSTEM

Observation wells in West Virginia have been assigned segmented numbers that indicate their location by county, magisterial district, and

graphic position within a district. For this purpose the counties are 

numbered consecutively in a general southward direction, beginning with 

Hancock County, which is at the northern tip of the State. The magisterial 

districts within each county are also numbered consecutively according to 

the same plan, beginning with the northernmost district; then, in each 

district the individual wells are numbered consecutively, roughly according 

to their geographic location relative to other wells in the same district. 

Thus, in the segmented number 9-6-27, which is assigned to a well in 

Morgantown, 9 represents Monongalia County, 6 represents Morgan district, 

and 27 represents the individual well in that district. Springs and mine 

drains are identified by the addition of the letter S to the final segment 

of the number, as 9-6-S1.
