WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1942

Part 1. NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By 0, E. MeInzer and L. K. Wenzel

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

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

of fair weather. Water levels in wells register the stages of these 

natural reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by drought or by heavy pumping for public waterworks, 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.

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. l). 

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 the parts of the country that are covered. '

The present volume covers the northeastern States and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure In about 663 observation wells of the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Of these 

wells, 101 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 for the years before 1942. For wells whose 

previous records have been published this volume gives only the current 

records, iif 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 27,400 individual 

determinations of water level and artesian pressure.

The water levels In this, report are given with reference to datum 

planes of different kinds. Some are given In depths below the measuring 

point, which Is a recognized reference mark at or near the top of the well 

from which the depth to water level Is usually measured and others are 

given In height above an assumed datum plane.

INTRODUCTION 3

Network of key observation wells

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

ground-water conditions over the country. The wells were selected because 

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

the part of the country covered by this volume.

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

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1942 the network 

included about 130 wells in 40 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942; the other 90 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.
4 WATER LBVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

GENERAL SUMMARY OP CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVEL IN 1942 

IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART OP THE UNITED STATES

In 1942 the precipitation In all the States In the northeastern section 

was above normal and, as a result, the water levels in many wells of the 

section were maintained at comparatively high stages. The fluctuations of 

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

besides the amount of precipitation. Consequently, It Is usually not 

possible to find a simple relation between the changes in water level or 

artesian pressure and the departure from normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the Interpretive texts 

that appear In this volume under the eeveral States. They eummarlze the 

changes In ground-water level and artesian pressure that occurred in 1942 

In the parts of the underground reservoirs that are tapped by the observation wells In the northeastern States.

Connecticut. Of the 22 wells in New Haven County on which observations 

were made during the year, 21 showed net rises in water level and 1 showed 

a net decline. The rises in the 21 wells ranged from 0.29 foot to about 

2.20 feet and averaged about 1.20 feet. The decline in the one well, which 

is at an industrial plant and is affected by the pumping of nearby wells, 

was 0.09 foot.

Indiana. Essentially complete records of water levels were obtained 

in 1942 for 35 wells, 12 of which are in Indianapolis, Marion County, and 

the remainder distributed over the State. In the wells situated outside 

Indianapolis the water levels were a little more than 2 feet higher on 

January 1, 1943, than on January 1, 1942. The low stages in 1942 averaged 

a little more than a foot higher than those of 1941, and thus were about a 

foot higher than those of 1940 and only slightly higher than those of 1939.

Water levels in the observation wells in Marion County averaged about 

0.6 foot higher in the spring of 1942 than in the spring of 1941, and on 

January 1, 1943, they averaged about 1.8 feet higher than on January 1, 

1942. New record low stages due to increased pumpage from nearby wells 

were observed In 1942 In only two wells in Marion County.

Massachusetts. All but 3 of the 32 observation wells in Massachusetts 

showed a net rise In water level during Ip42, the 3 exceptions showing a 

net decline. Of the wells that showed a net decline two were affected by 

increased pumpage from nearby wells, particularly during December.
INTRODUCTION 5

The relatively high stages of the ground-water levels near the end of 

1942 are chiefly the result of heavy precipitation. The year 1942 is the 

first year since water-level measurements were begun, in 1939, in which 

above-normal precipitation has occurred; the precipitation in 1942 was 

about 3 inches greater than the average for the preceding 10 years and 

about 12 inches greater than in 1941.

Michigan. At the end of 1942 the average of the water levels in 33 

wells in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula was several tenths of a 

foot lower than the record high year-end stage of 1941 but a few tenths of 

a foot higher than the average for the entire period of record. The water 

level in the Roscommon well, a key well in Roscommon County, declined about 

1 foot during the year. Ground-water conditions in the southern part of 

the Lower Peninsula, as shown, by observation wells in Ann Arbor, Battle 

Creek, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Lansing, Pontiac, and Three Rivers, were on the 

whole somewhat better in 1942 than in 1941, owing to the excess in precipitation. The average daily pumpage decreased in 1942 at five of these cities 

and increased at two. The water levels in the observation wells averaged 

somewhat more than 1 foot higher in 1942 than in 1941.

New Jersey. The Morrell well, a shallow well neap Old Bridge, Middlesex County, is considered one of the best indices of shallow ground-water 

storage for the general region in which it is situated. The records obtained from the Morrell well in 1942 indicate that there was only a small 

gain in ground-water storage during the first 3 months of the year and that 

for the next 5 months storage decreased progressively,owing to a combination of below-normal precipitation and heavy vegetal demands. Increased 

precipitation in the last 5 months of the year produced appreciable recharge, 

however, and by the end of the year storage was back to normal.

New lows of water level were established in 1942 by 11 wells in Middlesex County. Two of these tap the Parrington sand member of the Raritan 

formation (the No. 1 sand of earlier reports), and the other nine tap-the 

Old Bridge sand member of the Raritan formation (the No. 3 sand of earlier 

reports). These new lows are thought to be due to pumping, with the exception of that in the Pischer well (No. 28.4.4.2.1), which is too far from 

any center of pumping to be appreciably affected by it.
6 MTER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

In the Penns Grove area, in Salem County, nine wells reached new lows 

in 1942. All are within the influence of heavy pumping.

The water levels In 1942 in the 500-foot sand in the Atlantic City 

area were slightly higher In the stumer and slightly lower in the fall and 

winter than in the same seasons of the preceding year. This was due to a 

change in the rate of pumping by military establishments in this area. 

There were, however, the usual seasonal fluctuations, that is, higher 

levels in the winter, when pumping is light, than in the summer, when it 

is heavy.

Hew York. During 1942 a-general rise in ground-water levels occurred 

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

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

square miles. Prior to 1942 water levels had been progressively declining 

for a considerable period of time. The rise in 1942 is believed to be 

chiefly the result of a general decrease in pumpage in the area. In the 

other three Long Island counties, particularly in Nassau and Suffolk 

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

chiefly the result of differences in the amount and distribution of precipitation. There was a considerable rise in the water levels of most of the 

observation wells in these counties during 1942.

Ohio. Ground-water levels in the Mill Creek and Miami Valleys, Butler 

and Hamilton Counties, fluctuated differently in different parts of these 

valleys, the character of the fluctuations depending in general on the 

magnitude of the pumpage in each part. In the Middletown area, the water 

levels in shallow water-bearing beds rose during the period January to 

April slightly in January, 2 to 6 feet in February, and 2 to 4 feet more 

in April. They declined rapidly in May, fluctuated within narrow limits 

during June and July, and then declined until late in November. The lowest 

levels reached in November were 2 to 4 feet higher than the lowest levels 

reached during 1941. In the Hamilton area the lowest levels reached during 

the fall of 1942 were in general slightly higher than those reached in 

'December 1941. In the Miami Valley, south of Hamilton, and in the Divide 

area, between the Mill Creek and Miami Valleys, the lowest levels reached 

during 1942 were 1 to 3 feet higher than the lowest levels reached during 

1941. In the Mill Creek Valley, south of the Hamilton County line, water
INTRODUCTION 7

levels In the deeper water-bearing beds in general declined during the entire year. The decline was probably caused mainly by an increase in pumpage in the Lockland area. The lowest stages reached during 1942 were 2 to 

18 feet lower than the lowest stages reached during 1941. In the lower 

Mill Creek Valley, in the stretch from Carthage to St. Bernard, water 

levels continued to decline during 1942 at approximately the same annual 

rate as previously about 3 feet.

Pennsylvania. The average of the water levels in about 25 observation 

wells distributed throughout the State and unaffected by pumping was somewhat below normal at the beginning of 1942. Below-normal stages continued 

until about the middle of March, when the water levels Eose slightly above 

the 10-year average. They fluctuated seasonally until the middle of May, 

when heavy precipitation caused them, on the average, to rise to -ne highest stages recorded since 1931. They remained at or near record high stages 

for the remainder of the year,

NEW HAVEN COUNTY 

By John G. Ferris

The investigation of ground-water conditions in the New Haven area was 

continued In 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior, in cooperation with the Connecticut State Water Commission. At 

the end of the year water-level measurements were being made in 22 observation wells. A continuous record of water level was obtained from one well 

equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder; the remaining wells were , 

measured weekly up to October 2 and monthly thereafter. In all, about 1,000 

individual measurements of water level were made during the year.

The monthly program of collecting samples of ground water for determination of chloride content,started on July 30, 1941, was continued in 1942 

with the collection of about 240 samples of ground water from 20 pumping 

plants in the city of New Haven. The determinations of the chloride content 

of these samples were made by the Connecticut State Agricultural Experiment 

Station, at New Haven, under the direction of Dr. E. M. Bailey, chemist.

In addition to the work in New Haven, reconnaissance surveys of groundwater conditions have been made at Berlin, Bridgeport, Middletown, New London, 

Plainville, Stamford, Waterbury, and West Haven. These surveys indicate 

that relatively large quantities of ground water are pumped in Bridgeport 

and Waterbury and that ground-water problems may become critical In these 

areas. More general information indicates that ground-water problems may 

exist in other towns in the State that have not been surveyed. The results 

of these reconnaissance surveys serve as a guide in determining where more 

intensive Investigations of ground-water conditions should be conducted.

As an aid in studying the results of the water-level measurement and 

chloride-sampling programs, the city of New Haven has been divided into 

four somewhat arbitrary areas based on the chief use of ground water in each

area. The boundaries of these areas were shown on a map of New Haven

published In a previous report. The "Residential area" comprises the

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

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

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

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

stores, and restaurants use ground water for air-conditioning. The "Coldstorage area" extends along State Street from Columbus Avenue to Grand 

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

storing meat and dairy products. The "Industrial area" is in the vicinity 

of the West and Mill Rivers, where ground water is used chiefly for manufacturing purposes.

The preceding table shows that the ground-water level in all but two 

observation wells in New Haven reached its lowest observed stage in the 

latter part of 1941 or the early part of 1942. The water level in wells 

NHn 120 and NHn 123, which are located in the Air-conditioning area, reached 

its lowest observed stage in August 1942. All wells in this area generally

reach their lowest stage in the latter part of August, 

a Well pumped during air-conditioning.

About this time
10 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTEBW STATES

there is a relatively large decrease in pumping for air conditioning, owing 

to the advent of cooler weather. Wells NHn 120 and 123 are considerably 

nearer the center of the air-conditioning pumping area than well NHn 128 

and have shown a persistent downtrend in water level since the beginning 

of record. A large part of the air-conditioning installations were made 

shortly before or after the start of water-level Measurements in New Haven. 

The progressive decline of water levels in the Air-conditioning area will 

probably continue until a stage is reached that is commensurate with the 

higher rate of ground-water withdrawal in the area.

It will be noted that the lowest water levels in all the wells in the 

Residential area occurred within a relatively short period. This is true, 

also, of the wells in the Air-conditioning and Gold-storage areas. In the 

Industrial area, however, the tines of occurrence of the lowest stages of 

the wells were spread over a 6-month period. Presumably, the wide range in 

the time of occurrence of the lowest stage in the Industrial area is the 

result of large variations in the rate of withdrawal at many of the manufacturing plants.

The following table.shows the net change in ground-water levels in 

wells in New Haven during 1942:

It will be noted from the table that the water level in all the wells 

in New Haven except well NHn 160 showed a net rise during the year. 

Well NHn 160 is located at an industrial plant in the Mill River area, and

The precipitation at New Haven in 1942 was 57.71 inches, or about 21 

inches greater than in 1941 and about 12 inches above normal. The only 

months with appreciably below-normal precipitation were February, April, 

and September. Considerable recharge to the ground-water table occurred 

during the latter part of March and all of April as a result of the abovenormal precipitation in March. With the start of the growing season in 

May, the water table declined at a relatively Uniform rate through May, 

June, July, and the first part of August. In mid-August the water table 

rose rapidly as the result of recharge from the above-normal precipitation 

in July and August. Below-normal rainfall in September caused a decline of 

the water table during the latter part of September and all of October. 

The reduction in piant-moisture demands s "ter October, in addition to the 

above-normal precipitation in November and December, resulted in a rise of 

ground-water levels toward the end of the year. The excess of precipitation 

and its somewhat favorable distribution wore, in large part, the cause of 

the high water Isvsls in New Haven at the end of 1942.

An inventory of industrial plants in New Haven in 1939 and 1940 indicated that more than 80 plants use ground water as a part of their industrial 

supply and that their combined daily withdrawal is somewhat less than 4 

million gallons. Available information shows that the average daily withdrawal of ground water in 1942 was about 200,000 gallons in the Residential 

area, more than 400,000 gallons in the Air-conditioning area, more than 

600,000 gallons in the Cold-storage area, and about 2,700,000 gallons in 

the Industrial area.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in New Haven County are listed numerically. Complete 

descriptions are given for only newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well number indicate the water-supply papers in 

whioh 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 on 

that page. The water level in each well is expressed in feet and referred 

to mean sea levol.

INDIANA.

By G. L. McGulnness

PROGRAM OP WORK

The cooperative ground-water investigation in.Indiana, involving (1) 

a detailed investigation in the Indianapolis area and (2) the State-wide 

observation-well program, was continued in 1942 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, and the Division of Geology of 

the Indiana State Department of Conservation.

A report on the first of these two projects entitled "Ground-water 

resources of the Indianapolis,area, Marion County, Ind.," was prepared by 

the writer during 1942. It was mimeographed and issued on January 1, 1943, 

as a publication of the above-mentioned Division of Geology.

During 1942 water-level measurements were begun in 6 wells, resumed in 

4 wells formerly measured, and discontinued in 12 wells. Measurements were 

Blade at least once during the year in 73 wells. At the end of the year 

periodic measurements were being made in about 50 wells, including 11 in 

the Indianapolis area. The measurements were made by members of the State 

Department of Conservation and of municipal water departments and by private 

individuals. They were made twlde 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. 

In all, about 1,525 individual measurements were made in 1942. Two float-tjtpe 

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

during the year.

Essentially complete records of water levels were obtained for only 

35 wells in 1942, including 12 wells in Marion County, in which Indianapolis 

is situated. For a number of wells in which essentially complete records 

had been obtained in previous years, only partial records weri* obtained in 

1942. Previous records for well 1 in Madison County were found to be incorrect, owing to the method used in making the measurements.

_. PRECIPITATION

The average precipitation in Indiana during 1942 was 41.19 inches, 1.99 

inches above the average for the years since 1887. The precipitation was 

fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. January and October were 

the driest months, with 1.73 and 1.79 inches, respectively; June and November 

were the wettest, with 5.55 and 4.83 inches, respectively. The average 

precipitation during 1942 in the different parts of the State was as follows: 

Northern part, 40.24 inches, or 4.48 inches above normal; central part, 40.9C 

inches, or 1.85 inches above normal; southern part, 42.42 inches, or 0.38 

inch below normal.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL 

Factors affecting the water levels

The observation wells in Marion County are affected by heavy pumping 

'from wells in the Indianapolis area for industrial, air-conditioning, and 

municipal uses. The following wells are also affected by pumping, either 

from nearby wells or from themselves: Well 1 in DeKalb County; well 1 in 

Elkhart County; well 1 in Franklin County; well 2 in Hamilton County; well 

3 in Howard County; well 1 in LaPorte County; well 1 and possibly wall 2, 

in Porter County; well 1 in Randolph County;, well 1 in St. Joseph County; 

-well 1 in Scott County; wells 1, 2, and 3 in Starke County; and well 1 in 

White County. Although so stated in an earlier report, it is not believed 

that well 1 in Madison County is affected by pumping. On the whole, the 

effects of pumping are not as apparent in the wells Just enumerated as in 

those in Marion County, and the major trends in the fluctuations'of water 

levels in them are largely related to variations in precipitation. The wate'r 

level in well 3 in Fulton County is affected by*the position of the water 

level in a raceway only a few feet distant. In the other wells mentioned, 

the fluctuations in water level are largely or wholly related to changes in 

natural conditions, principally to variations in ttoe amount and distribution 

of precipitation.

'Veils In counties other- than M*rlc*n County ,

In the wells In counties other than Marion County for which essentially 

complete records were obtained in 1942 the water levels averaged a little 

more than 2 feet higher on January 1, 1943, than on January 1, 1948.
INDIANA. 21

«

Because the number of wells observed was smaller than usual, no quantitative 

comparison is made with years previous to 1941. It is apparent, however, 

that the water levels at the beginning of 1943 in these wells were higher 

than at the beginning of any year since 1937.

Because the average precipitation in Indiana in 1942 was above normal 

and was more or less normally distributed in most parts of the State, groundwater recharge in the State was probably at least normal during the year. 

On the whole the hydrographs of the observation wells show well-defined 

spring peaks in 1942. The high stages of 1942 in the wells outside Marion 

County occurred as early as January and as late as June, but in most wells 

they occurred in April or May. The high stages averaged nearly 2 feet 

higher than those of 1941 and slightly higher than those of 1940 but were 

somewhat lower than those of 1938 and 1939. Thus, although recharge was 

probably normal or above normal in 1942, the necessity for replacing 

the losses in storage that occurred in 1941 prevented the water levels from 

reaching unusually high stages during the spring of 1942.

The seasonal low stages in individual wells outside Marion County 

occurred as early as July and as late as December. In many wells the low 

stages occurred rather early> from July to September. In most wells the 

water levels recovered substantially before the end of the year, as shown 

by the high year-end stages.

In the wells outside Marion County that are not affected by pumping, 

no record low stages were observed in 1942, although the record low stage 

of 1941 was equaled in one well, namely, well 2 in Clark County* In well 

1, in DeKalb County, which was affected by pumping from nearby wells, a 

new record low stage was observed. In the wells outside Marion County the 

low stages in 1942 averaged a little more than a foot higher than those of 

1941, and were thus about a foot higher than those of 1940 and slightly 

higher than those of 1939.

Wells In Marion County

Water levels in the observation wells in Marion County are affected 

both by variations in precipitation and by heavy pumping. The precipitation 

at Indianapolis in 1942 was about 2 inches above normal, and, largely as a 

result of this, the total pumpage in the Indianapolis area averaged only 

about 47 million gallons a day, about 5 million gallons a day less than in 

The water levels showed a corresponding recovery. The spring high
22 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

stages of 1942 averaged about 0.6 foot higher than those of 1941, the fall 

low stages averaged nearly 2 feet higher than those of 1941, and on January 

1, 1943, the water levels averaged about 1.8 feet higher than on January 1, 

'1942. New record low stages were observed in 1942 in only 2 wells in Marion 

County wells 8 and 9 and in both wells this was due to increased pumpage

from nearby wells.

SUMMARY OP GROUND-WATER CONDITIONS IN 1942

The ground-water conditions in Indiana in 1942 were, on the whole, 

much improved over those in 1941, both in Marion County and in the rest of 

the State. This was due almost entirely to the above-normal precipitation, 

which (1) produced above-normal ground-water recharge, (2) reduced the 

discharge of ground water by evaporation and transpiration, and (3) increased 

the discharge of ground water by seepage into the streams. The increased 

flow in the streams that resulted from the increased ground-water discharge 

in the sunnier and fall of 1942 permitted the use of considerable quantities o: 

surface water to be used in industry and for public supply at Indianapolis ani 

doubtless at many other places in the State,replacing water that would otherw: 

Have been pumped from wells. It is safe to say that if the droughts of 1940 

and 1941 had been repeated in 1942 the effects on both ground- and surfacewater supplies in Indiana would have been disastrous; there is no doubt that 

the production of war materials would have been seriously curtailed at 

Indianapolis and also at many other places.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

4t south end of pumping plant, in Brookville. New measuring point, top of 

air line at base of turbine pump, approximately 3.5 feet above former measuring point. Air line is 100 feet long. Measurements made by W. L. Dare, 

engineer in charge, Brookville Water Department. The average dally pumpage 

from the two wells at the Brookville waterworks during the period April 6 to 

Nov. 24, 1942, was about 246,000 gallons, whereas during an equivalent 

period In 1939 it was only about 78,000 gallons. Notwithstanding the greater 

pumpage, the water level In well 1 trended slightly higher In 1942 than in 

1939. This fact shows that the effects of precipitation have outweighed the 

effects of pumping on the water supplies of the gravels supplying the Brookville wells, and also that only a relatively small part of the available 

ground water In the valley of the Whitewater River is being utilized for the 

public water supply of Brookville.

Madison 1 (*817,p.47; 840,p.79; 845,p.75; 88b,p.l01; 906,p.25; 936,p.28). 

Note: Measurements have been made by personnel of Mounds State Park, using 

a steel tape wiped after each measurement with an oily rag. No chalk has 

been used on the tape. Presumably the wetted length of tape has been determined from the position of the uppermost droplet of water adhering to the 

tape. Because a droplet would seldom adhere to the tape at the uppermost 

point submerged, the length of wetted tape reported has probably been too 

low, giving depths to water too great, by amounts ranging from one or two 

hundredths of a foot to several feet. On May 1, 1942, a measurement made 

In the usual way by personnel of Mounds State Park gave depth to water of 

9.80 feet. A measurement made later on the same day by the writer gave a 

depth to water of 6.15 feet. The water level in the well probably could 

not have changed by more than a few hundredths or a few tenths of a foot 

during the Interval between measurements." Owing to the errors in the measurements, none are given for 1942, and previous measurements should be 

disregarded.

Marion 1 (*817,p.48; 840,p.80; 845,p.75; *886,p.l02; 906,p.25; *936,p.29) 

Indianapolis Water Co. "Motor well 15," at intersection of Eighteenth and 

Harding Streets, In Riverside well field, Indianapolis. Measurements made 

by personnel of Indianapolis Water Co., W. C. Mabee, chief engineer. Measurements generally made at 10 a.m. The factors affecting the water level In 

Marion well 1 are discussed in Water-Supply Paper 936, on pages 29-31.

In 1942 the pumpage from wells In limestone at the Riverside station of 

the Indiana'polis Water Co. was less than during any year since observations 

in well 1 were begun, in August 1935. The total pumpage from limestone wells 

of the company in!942 was about 110 million gallons, of which probably less 

than half was pumped at the Riverside station, the remainder being pumped 

at the Fall Creek station. The pumpage from limestone wells at the Riverside - 

station in 1941 was 627 nullion gallons.

The pumpage from wells In gravel at the White River filtration plant was 

about 900 million gallons In 1942 as compared with about 440 million gallons 

in 1941. Thus the total pumpage from both gravel and limestone wells
28 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

of the Indianapolis Hater Co. in the vicinity of the Riverside station was 

probably less than 950 million gallons in 1942, as compared with 1,068 

million gallons in 1941. The water level in well 1 averaged about 3 feet 

higher in 1942 than in 1941. This was probably due only in small part to 

the relatively slight reduction in total pumpage; instead, it was probably 

due mostly to the reduction in pumpage from the wells in limestone and to 

the improved conditions of rainfall and recharge.

Porter 1 (#817,p.50; 840,p.83; 845,p.80; 886,p.108; 906,p.32; 936,p.36). 

Valparaiso Water Department. Test well at well 1 pump house at Flint Lake, 

about 3 miles north of Valparaiso, west of State Highway 49. Measurements 

made by J. F. Bradley, engineer, Valparaiso Water Department.

No water was pumped in 1942 from wells at the Valparaiso waterworks, 

whereas an average pf about 490,000 gallons a day was pumped during the 

period January 1 to October 16. 1941. During 1942 the water level in well 1 

averaged about 2.7 feet higher than in 1941. This was probably due largely 

to the lack of pumping in 1942,but the recovery in water level in 1942 was 

probably also due in part to the abnormally high precipitation at Valparaiso 

in 1941 and to the fact that the precipitation there has not been below normal 

since 1936. The narrow range in fluctuation in water level in well 1 

indicates that effects of both abnormal and deficient precipitation appear 

only with considerable lag in the sands penetrated by the well.

p.38). Mishawaka Water and Light Department. At pumping plant, Mishawaka. 

Measurements made by A. R. Klein, superintendent, Mishawaka Water and Light 

Department.

The average daily pumpage from wells at the Mishawaka waterworks in 1942 

was about 2.6 million gallons, about 300,000 gallons a day less than in 1941. 

Probably largely as a result of the reduced pumpage, the water level in well 

1 averaged about 1.7 feet higher in 1942 than in 1941. Precipitation at Soutf 

Bend, near Mishawaka, was about the same in 1942 as in 1941, that is slightly 

below normal.

Monon Water Works.

The average daily pumpage from wells at the Monon water works during 

1942 was a little less than 61.000 gallons, about the same as during the 

last quarter of 1941. IDuring the last quarter of 1942, however, the water 

level In well 1 averaged about 6 feet higher than during the last quarter 

of 1941. Although there is no precipitation station at Monon, records at 

surrounding stations Indicate that the precipitation In the area was several 

Inches below normal in 1941 and several inches above normal in 1942. This 

would account for the higher water level In well 1 In 1942.

MASSACHUSETTS

By II. L. Brashears, Jr.

The Investigation of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts was 

continued in 1942 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Massachusetts Department of Public Works. Periodic observations of groundwater levels were made in wells in Middlesex and Worcester Counties throughout the entire year. Observations were resumed in four wells in Berkshire, 

Essex, Franklin,and Hampden Counties during the latter part of the year. 

Regular weekly water-level measurements were made in 32 wells in the vicinity 

of Lowell and in the Aberjona Valley. During 1942, three automatic waterstage recorders were operated continuously at Leominster, Lowell,and 

Winchendon. A total of about 1,900'individual water-level measurements were 

made in 1942.

The observation wells in Berkshire, Essex, Franklin, and Hampden Counties 

penetrate unconsolidated glacial deposits composed of more or less unstrati-r 

fied sandy clay. The observation wells are located relatively distant from 

pumping wells,and ground-water withdrawals have no apparent effect on the 

water levels.

Descriptive headings for most of the bbservation wells included in 

this report-were given in Water-Supply Papers 886 and 906. In the present 

report, descriptive data are given for observation wells that have not appeared in previous Water-Supply Papers and for those wells at which some 

change was made in 1942.

Considerable quantities of ground-water* are withdrawn from the glacial 

outwash deposits that fill the buried preglaclal bedrock valleys in the 

Lowell and Aberjona Valley areas of Middlesex County. The average puapage' 

pf ground water in the .Lowell area is estimated to be about 7,000,000 gallons 

B. day.,of which more than 5,000,000 gallons a day is for public supply. The 

average pumpage of ground water in the Aberjona Valley area is estimated to 

be about 5,500,000 gallons a day, of which about 2,000,000 gallons a day is 

tor public supply. Ground-water withdrawal during 1942 was somewhat greatetr 

than in 1941. The amount of increase is not known,,but estimates based on

the figures for pumpage at one public supply plant indicate that the 

38
MASSACHUSETTS 39

withdrawal nay have been nearly a fifth, greater in 1942.

The following ta>ile summarises data pertaining to ground-water levels 

in Massachusetts. The table is divided into two parts in the first part 

water-levels are given in terms of height above mean sea level, and in the 

second part water levels are given in terms of depth below measuring point. 

The measuring points are located about at the land surface, ths distance 

above or b-slow land surface being given in the descriptive heading for each

observation well.

As indicated in the second of the foregoing tables, most of the observation wells in Massachusetts showed a net rise in water level during 1942. 

In general, the net rise was greatest in wells that penetrate deposits of 

more or less unstratifled sandy clay. The average rise in such wells was 

about 2 feet greater than the rise in wells that penetrate stratified deposits of sand and gravel. The water levels in wells that penetrate sandy 

clay have an annual range of fluctuation about twice as great as that of the 

water levels in wells that end in stratified deposits.

It will be noted that three of the observation wells show a net decline 

in water level during 1942. The decline in two of these wells, Lowell 41 

"and Lowell 43, is the result of increased pumpage from nearby wells. The 

reason for the decline in water level in the other well, IVoburn 1, is not 

definitely known but is believed to be the result of increased pumpage from 

nearby wells during December.

The relatively high stages of the ground-water levels near the end of 

1942 are chiefly the result of heavy precipitation. The year 1942 is the 

first year since water-level measurements were begun (in 1939) in which 

above-normal precipitation has occurred, and the precipitation was about 3 

inches greater in 1942 than the average for the preceding 10 years and about 

12 inches greater than in 1941.

Observation wells in Massachusetts are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given only 

for newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a 

well number indicate 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 that paper. The water level 

in each well is expressed in feet below a fixed measuring point or in feet

INTRODUCTION

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Michigan, begun in 1932 by the Geological Survey, United States Department 

of the Interior, in cooperation with the Geological Survey Division of the 

Michigan Department of Conservation, was continued in 1942. The wells' 

whose records are included in this report are in the Lower Peninsula, which^ 

for the purpose of the program, is considered as made up of two parts 

northern and southern. Each part is discussed separately. An earlier 

report contains an index map of the Lower peninsula," divided into counties, 

showing the location of the wells and indicating the two main areas in the 

northern part in which the wells are grouped.

Northern part of Lower Peninsula

Measurements were made at least once during the year in 91 wells in 

the forested areas in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. At the 

end of the year, monthly measurements were being made in 33 wells in 

Roscommon, Crawford, Kalkaska, and Otsego Counties. Regular measurements 

were discontinued in 1938 in Charlevoix, Grand Traverse, and Wexford 

Counties, in 1941 in Montmorency, Presque Isle, and Cheboygan Counties, and 

in 1942 in Missaukee County.

About 550 individual measurements of water level were made in the 

wells in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula during 1942, most of 

them by Norman Billings, hydrogeologist of the Michigan Geological Survey 

Division. Mr. Billings was in direct charge of the measurements during the 

year, under the supervision of 0. P. Foindexter, associate geologist in 

the Michigan Geological Survey Division.

At the end of 1942 the water levels in the 33 wells in which measurements were being continued averaged several tenths of a foot lower than

_l/Melnzer, 0. E., and Wenzel, L. K., and others, Water levels and 

artesian pressure in observation wells in the United States in 1940, Part 2 

Northeastern States: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 906, p.52 

(fig. 3), 1942.

the record high year-end stage of 1941 but were a few tenths of a foot 

higher than the average for the period of record. General rains near the 

end of December caused an average rise in water level of 0.20 foot from 

mid-December 1942 to mid-January 1943. Without these rains the water levels 

would probably have been at about average stages at the end of 1942. 

Roscommon recorder well

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

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

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

1942, measured when the recorder charts were changed, are given in this 

report. This is the only observation well in the northern part of the 

Lower Peninsula equipped with a recorder. It was therefore selected for a 

detailed study of the fluctuations in water level and their causes, which 

appear to be typical for wells in this part of the State.

Rains in October and November 1941 caused the water level in the 

Roscommon well to rise to about 6.4 feet below the measuring point, after whicj 

it declined slowly and irregularly until, at the end of 1941, it stood at 

about 6.7 feet below the measuring point. Except for a rise of about 0.07 

foot on January 2, it continued to decline slowly during the first part of 

1942, and reached a stage about 7.15 feet below the measuring point on March 

7. The record for the period March 7 to 19 is missing, but at some time 

during this period the water level rose to about 6.52 feet below the measuring 

point and remained at this stage until March 19. The maximum daily air 

temperature was above freezing on most of 'the days in this period, and there 

was moderately heavy precipitation on March 10 and 17. Both the temperature 

and the precipitation were probably involved in this rise. Beginning on 

March 19, the water level then declined until March 25, when it reached a 

stage about 6.57 feet below the measuring point, after which it began to 

rise again, as the result of a thaw,and on April 15 reached a stage 5.66 

feet below the measuring point, the highest stage of the year. It then 

declined irregularly until May 29, when it reached a stage 6.42 feet below 

the measuring point. The effects of transpiration by young trees in the 

vicinity became evident about May 20. From May 29 to June 2, owing to 

heavy rains, there was a rise in water level of 0.25 foot, to a stage 6.17 

feet below the measuring point. Except for rises of a few hundredths of
58 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

a foot during the periods July 29-31 and September 26-29, also due to rains, 

the water level declined practically without interruption from June 2 to 

October 29, when the lowest stage of the year, 8.17 feet below the measuring 

point, was reached. This stage persisted until November 1. Following this 

low stage the water level slowly recovered to a stage 8.15 feet below the 

measuring point, which it reached on November 10. Owing to noderately 

heavy rains, it began to rise on November 10 and reached a stage 7.96 feet 

below the measuring point on November 17 and persisted at this stage until 

November 26. It then declined slowly until December 27, when it stood 8.13 

feet below the measuring point. Additional heavy rains then caused it to 

rise rapidly, and a stage 7.73 feet below the measuring point was reached 

at the end of the year.

The high stage of 5.66 feet below the measuring point on April 15, 1942, 

was the second highest recorded stage, and only 0.08 foot below the highest 

on record 5.58 feet below the measuring point on April 2, 1938. The low 

stage of 8.17 feet below the measuring point during the period October 29 to 

November 1, 1942, was the fourth lowest seasonal low stage on record, those 

of 1936, 1935, and 1941 ranking lowest, next lowest, and third lowest, 

respectively, (In Water-Supply Paper 936, on page 59, the statement that 

the low stages of 1935 and 1936 ranked lowest and next lowest, respectively, 

is in error; the order should be reversed, as indicated in the preceding 

sentence.)

Southern part of Lower Peninsula

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in the 

southern part of the Lower Peninsula, all of which are in municipalities, 

was continued in 1942. About 1,100 individual measurements were made in 

these wells during the year, including daily measurements in well 1 in 

Washtenaw County and about 150 measurements each in wells 1, 2, and 3 in 

Oakland County. Only selected measurements for these four wells are 

included in this report.

Ground-water conditions in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula, 

as shown by the observation wells, were on the whole somewhat better in 

1942 than in 1941, owing largely to the excess in precipitation. At the 

seven cities in which observation wells are situated, the excesses in
MICHIGAN, CALHOUN COUNTY . 59

precipitation in 1942 ranged from less than an inch at Three Rivers to 11.18 

inches at Battle Creek and averaged more than 6 inches. In 1941 the precipitation was deficient at three and probably four of the cities (the record 

at Three Rivers was incomplete) and excessive at three, and the average 

precipitation for the seven cities was slightly less than normal.

The average daily pumpage decreased from 1941 to' 1942 at five of ths 

cities and increased at two, and the average change was a decrease of a 

few percent. Omitting well 2 in Jackson County, for which there is no 

record for 1941, the water levels in the observation wells averaged somewhat 

more than 1 foot higher in 1942 than in 1941. It is recognized that this 

figure is of qualitative rather than quantitative value, because the grounawater conditions differ so much from place to place that direct quantitative 

comparisons are scarcely justified. The average rise was due partly to the 

decreased pumpage but probably mostly to the excess in precipitation in 

1942.

Discussions of water-level fluctuations in the wells in the southern 

part of the Lower Peninsula are given in the following section of this 

report under the individual counties.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Michigan are listed alphabetically by counties; 

those in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula are listed numerically 

within each county, and those in the northern part numerically by townships. 

Complete descriptions are given only for newly added wells. The numbers in 

parentheses immediately folowing a well number indicate the water-supply 

papers in which earlier records of that we!3 are given and the pages on 

which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well 

is given in that paper. The water level in each well is expressed in feet 

below a fixed measuring point.

The average daily withdrawal from wells at the Verona pumping station 

in 1942 ranged from 1.46 million gallons in February to 3.68 million gallons 

in January and averaged 2.79 million gallons. The average daily withdrawal 

in 1941 was about 3.75 million gallons, and that in 1940 was 2.49 million 

gallons. In 1942 the water level in well 1 averaged about 1.6 feet higher 

than in 1941 and about 1.25 feet higher than in 1940. It is thus apparent 

that the ground-water conditions in 1942 were considerably more favorable 

than in 1940, and probably somewhat more favorable than in 1941. Inasmuch 

as the sandstone aquifer from which the water is derived lies at a shallow 

depth and is recharged largely from local precipitation, the improvement 

in ground-water conditions is undoubtedly due to the continued excessive 

precipitation in 1942. The precipitation at Battle Creek was 3.60 inches 

above normal in 1941 and 11.18 inches above normal in 1942. There was 

also an excess in precipitation of 2.61 inches in 1940, so that the 

accumulated excess during the 3-year period 1940-42 was more than 17 inches.

The average daily pumpage at the Goguac pumping station in 1942 was 

1.34 million gallons, about 0.2 million gallons more than in 1941 and about 

0.2 million gallons less than in 1940. The average daily pumpage in 1942 

ranged from 190,000 gallons in January to 2.10 million gallons in July. 

Because of variations in the pumpage from the different wells at the station, 

it is difficult to compare the water levels in well 2 in 1942 with those in 

this well in 1941. In the latter part of April 1942 the water level in well 

2 averaged about 0.6 foot lower than in the early part of March 1941. The 

same wells were pumping at both times. However, in the latter part of April 

1942 the average daily pumpage at this station was about 1.9 million gallons, 

whereas in February and the early part of March 1941 it was slightly less 

than 1.5 million gallons. It thus appears that the ground-water conditions 

in 1942 were slightly improved over those of 1941. The improvement was not 

as apparent at the Goguac station as at the Verona station, which may 

indicate that the glacial sands and gravelsi penetrated by the wells at thes. 

Goguac station are not as permeable as the sandstone penetrated by the wells 

at the Verona station and therefore that they are not recharged as readily.

Measurements In wells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were made by members 

of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Board of Water and Electric Light 

Commissioners, Lanslng.

In 1942 the average dally pumpage from municipal wells In Lanslng was 

about 11.1 million gallons, as compared with about 10.8 million gallons In 

1941 and 9.4 million gallons In 1940. The average dally pumpage In July 

1942, the month of heaviest pumping during the year, was about 12.9 million 

gallons, as compared with about 14.2 million gallons In July 1941.

The water levels In wells 1 and 2 averaged about 5 feet lower In 1942 

than In 1939, the last year of complete records prior to 1942. This decline 

might be expected In view of the Increase In pumpage from about 8.9 million 

gallons a day In 1939 to 11.1 million gallons a day In 1942 and of the 

addition In 1941 of wells 1 to 7, Inclusive, In the M group and wells 15,16, 

and 17 In the C group.

The water levels In wells 3 and 4 averaged about 8 feet" higher In 1942 

than In 1941, owing largely to the reduction In pumpage from the three old 

alr-llft well fields, namely, the Cedar Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and 

Riverside fields. The total pumpage from these fields In 1941 was about 

1,250 million gallons; In 1942 It was only about 50 million gallons.

The water level In well 5 averaged about 18 feet higher In 1942 than 

In 1939, the last year of complete records prior to 1942. This was due 

largely to the reduction In pumpage from wells In the Riverside and 

Pennsylvania Avenue fields and other nearby wells.

The water levels In wells 6 and 7 averaged about 16 feet lower In the 

latter part of 1942 than In the latter part of 1941 (when the C and M wells 

were put Into operation), owing to the Increase in pumpage from wells equipped 

with turbine pumps. Most of these wells are In the northern part of the 

city, as are wells 6 and 7, whereas the old alr-llft wells are In the 

southern part of the city.

The water level In well 8 averaged about 3 feet higher In 1942 than in 

1941. In view of the fact that the total pumpage was greater In 1942 than 

In 1941, though by only a few percent, the recovery In water level In well 

8 probably reflects the general shifting of the pumpage from the southern 

to the northern part of the city. In view of this shift, fluctuations In : 

water level In well 8 cannot be considered to be representative of the 

average trend In the area as a whole, although well 8 Is farther from heavily 

pumped wells than Is any of the other observation wells.

The precipitation at Lanslng was above normal during each of the 3 

years 1940 (excess 6.35 Inches), 1941 (excess 0.85 Inch), and 1942 (excess 

5.59 Inches), and this was probably partly responsible for the generally 

favorable conditions shown by the observation wells In 1942. However, It 

is believed that the sandstones penetrated by the municipal wells are 

recharged largely In more or less remote areas, and thus that the effects 

of fluctuations In precipitation on the wells at Lanslng are not very 

apparent and are felt only with a considerable lag. It is therefore believed 

that fluctuations in pumpage are largely responsible for fluctuations in 

water level in the observation wells at Lanslng.

Measurements In wells 1, 2, and 3 were made by Leon L. Slmklns, pumping 

station equipment supervisor, city waterworks, Leo Witters, superintendent.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Kalamazoo in 1942 

was 5.77 million gallons, about 0.4 million gallons less than In 1941. The 

average daily pumpage ranged from 5.09 million gallons In February to 6.88 

million gallons in July. The water levels In wells 1, 2, and 3 averaged 

about 2.85 feet higher In 1942 than in 1941, when the lowest stages on 

record were reached. The recovery in water levels in 1942 was due to the 

reduction in pumpage and to the cumulative effects of excesses in precipitation In 1940 (excess 8.35 Inches), 1941 (excess 4.41 inches), and 1942 

(excess 4.52 inches).

If the average water levels and average daily pumpage during the year 

are compared, 1942 Is shown to be about the third or fourth most favorable 

year on record. The years 1938 and 1939 rank first and second, respectively, and 1937 was about as favorable as 1942. The period of record goes 

back to 1931 but does not include 1933, for which the record is not 

sufficient to permit quantitative comparisons. However, the available 

records show that conditions In 1933 were much more favorable than in 1931.

Although the lowest stages on record were reached In 1941 In wells 1, 

2, and 3, the year 1931 remains the most unfavorable year on record. In 

1931 the average daily pumpage was only 4.85 million gallons, as compared 

with about 6.2 million gallons In 1941, yet the water Jevel in well 3 

averaged only about 0.3 foot lower In 1941 than in 1931.

Ground-water conditions In 1936 were on the whole about as unfavorable 

as in 1941. The water levels In wells 1, 2, and 3 averaged 2.34 feet higher 

In 1936 than in 1941, but the average dally pumpage was about 1.1 million 

gallons less in 1956 than In 1941.

Measurements in wells 1, 2, and 5 were made by members of the Department 

of Water Supply, Pontiac, H. L. Monroe, superintendent, H. W. MacDuff, 

chief engineer.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in Pontiac during 1942 

ranged from 6.55 million gallons in April to ,8.06 million gallons in July 

and averaged 7.07 million gallons. Of this, 5.59 million gallons a day was 

pumped from wells of the central or Walnut Street group and 5.48 million 

gallons a day from wells at outlying stations, including the East Boulevard 

station.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells in 1941 was about 7.7 

million gallons, of which about 5.5 million gallons was pumped from wells of 

the Walnut Street group and about 4.4 million gallons from wells at outlying 

stations. Thus, although the total pumpage decreased about 8 percent from 

1941 to 1942, the pumpage from the Walnut Street wells increased about 9 

percent. In spite of the increased pumpage, the water levels in wells 1 and 

2, which are near wells of the Walnut Street group, averaged about 1.85 feet 

higher in 1942 than in 1941, according to the selected measurements given in tl 

preceding tables and in Water-Supply Paper 956 on pages 67 and 68. This 

may be due partly to the over-all decrease in pumpage but is probably due 

mostly to the increase in precipitation at Pontiac. The precipitation at 

Pontiac was about 4 inches below normal in 1941, but it was a little more 

than 6 inches above normal in 1942.

An average of about 450,000 gallons a day was pumped at the East 

Boulevard station in 1942,as compared with about 475,000 gallons a day in 

1941, a decrease of about 5 percent. Partly because of this, but mostly 

because of the increased precipitation in 1942, the water level in well 3 

averaged 8.85 feet higher in 1942 than in 1941, according to the selected 

measurements given in the preceding table and in Water-Supply Paper 936, on 

page 68.

The average daily pumpage from municipal wells at Three Rivers during 

1942 was about 380,000 or 390,000 gallons, a decrease of 12 to 15 percent 

from that in 1941. Records of precipitation at Three Rivers are incomplete 

for both 1941 and 1942, but it is probable that the precipitation was an 

inch or less below normal in 1941 and an inch or less above normal in 1942. 

The water level in well 1, according to measurements made at times when no 

municipal wells were pumping, averaged about 0.24 foot lower in 1942 than 

in 1941. The small decline in spite of the decrease in pumpage may represent 

a decrease in artesian storage or an increase in pumping from private wells, 

or both. According to measurements made at times when one of the nearby 

municipal wells (Layne well) was pumping, the water level in well 1 averaged 

about O.05 foot higher in 1942 than in 1941, which probably reflects the 

decrease in pumpage in 1942.

The average- daily pumpage from wells at the Steere Farm pumping station 

in the individual months in 1942 ranged from 1.40 million gallons in June 

to 2.33 million gallons in October and averaged 1.75 million gallons for the 

year. The average daily pumpage in 1941 was 1.27 million gallons, and in

1940 it was 1.68 million gallons. The lowest water levels reached each 

month in well 1 averaged about 0.3 foot lower in 1942 than in 1941. In view 

of the substantial increase in pumpage at the station in 1942 over that of

1941 (about 38 percent), the moderate decline in water level indicates that 

conditions in 1942 were rather favorable in comparison with those of 1941. 

The lowest water level reached each month in well 1 averaged about 0.8 foot 

higher in 1942 than in 1940, when the pumpage was about the same as in 1942. 

This tends to confirm the belief that ground-water conditions in the area 

were comparatively favorable in 1942. The precipitation at Ann Arbor was 

2.28 inches below normal in 1941 and 5.87 inches above normal in 1942, and 

this increase is probably responsible for the favorable conditions in 1942.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The cooperative Investigation of the ground-water resources of New 

Jersey by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, 

and the New Jersey State Water Policy Commission, which has been in progress 

for some years, was continued in 1942. It consists in large part of 

quantitative studies of these resources in selected areas. A map of the 

State showing the counties in outline and name and with the areas shaded 

was published in an earlier report, which includes also a table listing 

the areas and the appropriate counties so arranged as to show the location 

of the areas. (See Water-Supply Paper 886, pp. 340 and 342). The waterlevel measurements given in the present report were obtained from wells in 

these areas.

About 4,100 measurements of 'water level were made during 1942, and at 

the end of the year 207 wells were under observation. Measurements were 

made monthly or less frequently in some of the wells, biweekly in some^ 

weekly in some, and at least twice a day in one. Continuous records by 

water-stage recorders were obtained from 48 wells throughout the year. The 

State and Federal Governments owned and operated 41 of these recorders; 

municipalities and private water-supply companies or industries owned the 

remaining 7.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The precipitation during 1942 was 4.80 inches above normal, but during 

the first 6 months of the year a deficit of 3.82 inches accumulated. The 

precipitation during April was the second lowest ever recorded for that 

month, only April 1896 being drier. In each of the last 6 months except 

October, however, the precipitation was above normal; in October there was 

a slight deficit.

The Morrell well (No. 29.11.1.2.3), a shallow well near Old Bridge,

Middlesex County, Is considered one of the best indices of ground-water

75
76 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

storage for this general region. A hydrograph made for this well showed a 

slight gain In ground-water storage for the first 3 months of the year. 

Even though the precipitation for this period was only normal, it was 

sufficient to build up slightly the ground-water storage, which had been 

very low as a result of the dry autumn of 1941. A combination during the 

succeeding 3 months of below-normal precipitation and a heavy draft on 

ground-water storage to meet the demands of vegetation resulted In a downward trend of the water table, which continued through August, The hydrograph showed an upward trend of the water table from then on, until at the 

end of the year the ground-water storage was again back to normal.

The average water levels In a group of shallow wells In Middlesex 

County, but not near enough to the center of public and Industrial pumping 

In the Runyon area to be affected by it, do not seem to indicate anything 

not indicated by the Horrell well. The three sets of measurements In this 

group, made in January, June, and December, Indicate that the total groundwater storage increased during the year. On the other hand, the average 

water levels in a small group of deeper water-table wells, also beyond the 

influence of the pumping in the Runyon area, indicate that the total groundwater storage decreased during the year. (See table on p. 83). It is 

thought that this discrepancy In the showing of the two groups may be due 

to a lag in the fluctuations of water level in the deeper wells, a lag to 

be expected because of their greater depth to water. If this is true, then 

the average water levels in the deeper wells will Indicate an increase in 

ground-water storage in the first part of 1943, because by that time their 

fluctuations will have been affected by the precipitation of the last part 

of 1942.

Of the observation wells in Middlesex County other than those Just 

discussed, 11 showed new record lows of water level during 1942. Two of 

these tap the Parrington sand member of the Raritan formation (the No. 1 

sand pf earlier reports), and the other nine tap the Old Bridge sand member 

of the Raritan formation (the No. 3 sand of earlier reports). These new 

lows, with the exception of the one in the Pischer well (No. 28.4.4,2.1), 

are thought to be due to pumping. The Pischer well is in the Intake are* 

of the Parrington sand member and is too far from any center of pumping to

be appreciably affected by it. Therefore the new low in this well must be 

the result of natural conditions.
NEW JERSEY 77

In the Penns Grove area in Salem County, nine wells reached new lows 

in 1942. All are within the influence of heavy pumping. These wells will 

probably continue to show new lows in future years until the rate of pumping 

and the water table reach a state of equilibrium.

As usual the fluctuations of water levels in the artesian aquifers 

under observation in the State were caused primarily by fluctuations of 

pumpage from these aquifers. The formations serving as aquifers are of 

wide extent and the intake areas of some of them are a long distance from 

the ground-water areas being studied, so that the water levels in these 

areas are not much affected by variations in precitlptation. The water 

levels in the 800-foot sand in the Atlantic City area were slightly higher 

in the summer and slightly lower In the fall and winter than they were 

during the preceding year. This was due to a change in the rate of pumping 

by military establishments in this area. There were, however, the usual 

seasonal fluctuations,with higher levels in the winter season, when pumping is light, than in the summer season, when it is heavy. 

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells In New Jersey are listed alphabetically by counties 

and by number within each county. For convenience, the appropriate groundwater area is added after the county name. Many of the wells in the Runyon 

area, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, have been assigned field numbers 

also, such as P-31, J-5, P-2, and, to facilitate reference to these wells, 

their field numbers are included. Complete descriptions are given only for 

newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a 

well number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of 

that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk preceding the number of a water-supply paper indicates that a description of 

the well is given in the paper so marked. For most wells the water level 

is expressed in feet, either with reference to mean sea level if the 

altitude of the measuring point has been satisfactorily'determined or in 

depth below the measuring point. For a few wells, the water level is 

expressed in feet below the top of the casing.

In the records of water levels obtained by tape measurements, the dates

of measurements and the water levels as actually measured are given. In -the

v 

records obtained from water-stage recorders, a single water level is given

592S15 0-44-6
78 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

for each day. An attempt has been made, however, to give the most significant daily level for each well. For wells In which the fluctuation is 

small, the water level at the end of the day is given. For wells in which 

the dally fluctuation is large, because of the effect of nearby pumping or 

of tides, the lowest water level! for each day is given. An exception Is 

made of the Longport well (No. 36.23.1.9.6), in Atlantic County, in the 

records for which the water level given for each day is the average of the 

two high and the two low levels caused by tides on that day.

NEW YORK

CENTRAL NEW YORK

By G. R. Ayer

The periodic observation of water levels in a few wells in the central 

part of the State of New York, begun in connection with a study made to 

determine the effects of reforestation on stream flow, was continued In 

1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, 

in cooperation with the New York State Department of Conservation. At the 

end of the year seven wells were under observation four In Cortland County, 

two in Chenango County, and one in Delaware County. It Is to be noted that 

none of the wells is affected by pumping or by any other act of man.

Pour of the observation wells in central New York are equipped with 

automatic water-stage recorders, which are Inspected weekly by local 

observers and occasionally by an engineer of the Geological Survey. The 

records presented in this report are limited to the weekly measurements of 

water level in these four wells. In all, 251 measurements were made in 

these wells during 1942.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Ground-water conditions in the areas in which the observation wells 

are situated are briefly discussed In Hater-Supply Paper 886, especially as 

they are affected, by the topography and geology, which are similar in the 

three areas. Of the four well records Included in this report, that of 

Shackham Brook well 1, in Cortland County, best reflects the effect of 

climatologic variations on the fluctuation of water levels in these areas. 

The year 1942 was characterized generally by several heavy rains during the 

summer and early fall, particularly in August, and as a result the decline 

in water levels was not as great as is usual during that period they were 

higher than in 1941, about the same as In 1940, and higher than in 1939. 

By the latter part of August the water levels had risen until they .were 

about as high as on M?iy 1, and at the end of December they were slightly 

higher than at the beginning of the year. In all wells the water level 

showed a small net gain for the year. Temperatures, particularly during

the summer months, averaged about the same as in 1941.

WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

The four observation wells In central New York whose records are 

Included In this report are listed alphabetically by counties and by name 

within each county. Complete descriptions of the wells are not given 

because they have already been published In earlier reports of the 

Geological Survey. The numbers In parentheses Immediately following the 

name of a well Indicate the water-supply papers In which earlier records 

of that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk 

preceding the number of a water-supply paper Indicates that a description 

of the well Is given In the paper so marked. The water level In each well 

Is expressed In feet below a fixed measuring point.

 NEW YORE, LONG ISLAND 115

LONG ISLAND 

By M. L. Braaheara, Jr.

The Inveatlgatlong of ground-water conditiona on Long laland waa continued during 1942 by the Geological Survey, United Statea Department of 

the Interior, In cooperation with the New York State Water Power and Control 

Commission and with Nassau and Suffolk Countlea. During the year the 

Suffolk County Water Authority, In cooperation with the Geological Survey, 

began additional ground-water atudlea In Suffolk County. A part of the 

ground-water Inveatlgatlon conalsted of periodic observations of groundwater levels on Long laland. Obaervatlona were made in all four of the 

countlea on Long laland, but In Suffolk County only In the area lying west 

of Rlverhead. Obaervatlona were begun In 1942,aa a part of the cooperative 

atudlea being made with the Suffolk County Water Authority, in about 40 

teat wells situated In the central part of Suffolk County. The wella were 

Installed by the New York City Board of Water Supply at the beginning of 

the century, and water-level obaervatlons for 1907, 1908, and 1909 have 

been made available by that organization. By including these wells the 

area covered by periodic observations of water levels under the cooperative 

program has been extended approximately 25 miles eastward. In addition, 

at the end of the year automatic water-atage recorders were In operation on 

20 observation wells. During the year, water-level measurements were made 

weekly In about 110 observation wells and monthly in about 40 observation 

wella. In all, about 9,100 Individual measurements were made during 1942.

During 1942 a general rise of ground-water levels occurred In Kings 

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

lowered the water table below sea level In an area of more than 45 square 

miles. Prior to 1942 water levels had been progressively declining for a 

considerable period of time. The preceding table shows that the lowest 

observed water level since the start of record In most of the observation 

wells In Kings County occurred In the latter part of 1941 or during the 

first half of 1942, thus Indicating a rise of water level during the latter 

part of 1942 and a trend toward more favorable ground-water conditions In 

the area. Further evidence of a more favorable relationship between groundwater recharge and withdrawal in Kings County during 1942 is provided by 

the, record of water level for well K30, situated near the bottom of the 

depression In the water table in Kings County. A water-stage recorder was 

put in operation at this well in July 1935. By November 1941 the water 

level had declined progressively more than 5 feet, the lowest recorded stage 

being 29.75 feet below mean sea level in November 1941. A reversal in the 

trend of the water level in this well occurred in 1942, the net rise from
(Figure 2. Graphs showing cumulative departure from 10-year 

precipitation and average ground-water level on L
NEW YORK, LONG ISLAND 119

November 1941 to the end of 1942 being somewhat greater than 0.9 foot. The 

rise of water level during 1942 is believed to be chiefly the result of a 

general decline in the rate of ground-water withdrawal in the overpumped 

area. According to a recent survey, the rate of withdrawal of ground water 

at the industrial plants situated within about half a mile of well K30 was 

approximately the same during 1941 and 1942. Accordingly, it would appear 

that the rise of water level in the observation well is the cumulative result 

of a gradual decline in the rate of withdrawal throughout the overpumped 

area rather than the cessation of or decrease in the rate of pumping of 

nearby wells. The rise of water level may be due in part, however, to the 

favorable distribution of precipitation during the year, particularly 

during the summer.

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

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

are chiefly the result of differences in amount and distribution of precipitation. As shown in the summary table, the lowest observed water level in 

most wells that have been measured for a period of about 10 years or more 

occurred late in 1932 or early in 1933. The lowest water level in most of 

the wells with shorter periods of record occurred in the latter part of 

1941 or during the first half of 1942. The highest observed water level 

in most of the wells in the three eastern counties of Long Island occurred 

in the spring of 1939.

The following table shows the net change in water level during 1942 

in each of the observation wells that was measured throughout the year.

As shown by the foregoing table, there was a considerable rise of 

water level in most of the observation wells during 1942. The rise was 

the result, in large, part, of excess precipitation during the year, about 

6 inches above average. A large rise occurred in some of the observation 

wells situated in the southern part of Nassau County as the result of a 

reduction in ground-water withdrawal at nearby pumping wells. The water 

level in 24 of the wells showed a net decline during the year. All of 

these wells are known to be affected to a considerable extent either by 

nearby pumping or by fluctuation of barometric pressure. The average 

pressure of the atmosphere for the day during which the water level measurements for the end of 1942 were made was nearly 0,5 inch of mercury greater 

than on the corresponding day for 1941. Such a "net rise" in atmospheric 

pressure during the year may produce a decline of water level of as much as 

0.5 foot, depending upon the individual characteristics of each well and 

the formation which it penetrates. In addition, the water level in some of 

the observation wells is as much as 190 feet below the land surface. Because of this great depth of cover, the interval of time between a given 

wet or dry period and the corresponding rise or decline of water level in 

such an observation well may be as much as 6 months. For example, the time

of occurrence of the lowest stage of water level resulting from the prolonged

dry period that ended in late 1941 was at about the end of March 1942 for 

wells in which the water level ranges from about 40 to 60 feet below land 

surface, at about the end of July 1942 for wells in which the depth to 

water level ranges from about 90 to 130 feet below land surface, and at 

about the end of October 1942 for wells in which the water level ranges 

from about 170 to 190 feet below land surface. Thus the water level in the 

deeper observation wells continued to decline during the first half of 1942 

as a result of the preceding dry period, causing an apparent net decline 

during a period of favorable precipitation.

Figure 2 shows the relation between average ground-water level and 

precipitation on Long Island. The method used for determining the average 

water level each month is described in Geological Survey "Water-Supply Paper 

886. The average water level at the end of 1942 is based on 156 observation 

wells, 80 in Nassau County, 25 in Queens County, and 51 in Suffolk County.

At the beginning of 1942, ground-water levels on Long Island were, in 

general, at the lowest stage recorded since 1935. The average ground-water 

level, as shown by the diagram, declined more or less steadily from the 

early part of 1939 to the beginning of 1942 as a result of a considerable 

deficiency in precipitation during that 3-year period. During 1942 conditions became more favorable for recharge, the precipitation being slightly 

more than 6 inches above the average for the preceding 10 years. In addition, intense storms occurred during July and August, causing a rise of 

ground-water level during the growing season, when the withdrawal of a great 

amount of water by plants generally causes a steady decline of water level 

on Long Island. As a result of these more favorable conditions, a net rise 

in average ground-water level of 0.92 Toot occurred during 1942.

On Long Island, large quantities of ground water are withdrawn from the 

underground reservoirs for public supply and for industrial, cooling, and 

irrigational uses, the greater part of the pumpage being derived from glacial 

sands and gravels at the western end of the island. The greatest use of 

ground water is for public supply, approximately two-thirds of the daily 

withdrawal being used for this purpose. A considerable part of the ground 

water used for cooling is returned to the ground by means of recharge wells 

and consequently does not affect materially the ground-water storage. Although much of the water pumped for irrigation is consumed by plants, it

seems probable that a considerable part finally percolates back to the water 

table. A part of the ground water used by public-supply systems In Nassau 

and Suffolk Counties Is returned eventually to the ground at sewage-disposal 

plants. Nearly 90 percent of the total ground-water withdrawal, however, Is 

discharged Into the bodies of sea water surrounding Long Island, and It Is 

this large amount of pumpage that affects the position of the water table.

Estimates based mainly on records obtained from water-supply organizations Indicate that In 1942 the average rate of withdrawal from public-supply 

wells was about 183,000,000 gallons a day, or about 15,000,000 gallons a 

day more than In the previous year. The pumpage from public-supply wells 

was distributed by counties approximately as follows: 26,000,000 gallons a 

day In Kings County, 97,000,000 gallons a day In Nassau County, 45,000,000 

gallons a day In Queens County, and 15,000,000 gallons a day In Suffolk 

County. The estimates of the withdrawal for 1941 and 1942 -have been compiled

!/

on the same basis as that used by Thompson! and Leggette In compiling the 

pumpage for public supply for previous years, except that the totals given 

herein Include an estimate of the withdrawal In Suffolk County. It Is 

estimated that the average rate of pumpage In Suffolk County during 1941 and 

1942 was about 15,000,000 gallons a day. The rise In the rate of withdrawal 

for public supply during 1942 was chiefly the result of an Increase In the 

average rate of pumping from wells of the New York City supply system In the 

southern part of Queens and Nassau Counties.

Most of the Industrial plants on Long Island are In Kings and Queens 

Counties, which make up the more densely populated part of the Island. 

Consequentlymost of the ground-water withdrawal for Industrial use occurs 

at the western end of the Island. On the other hand, nearly all the ground 

water used for Irrigation Is pumped In Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Unfortunately, the data necessary to compile reasonably accurate estimates of pumpag 

from Industrial and Irrigation wells are widely scattered and, for many wells 

Inadequate. Because of this It Is not feasible to compile records of pumpage 

from privately owned wells on a year-by-year basis. In 1936, A. D. Henderson 

collected records of pumpage for nearly all the Industrial wells In Kings and

Queens Counties. This compilation Indicates that the average rate of pumpage

1937.'
NEW YORK, LONG ISLAND 123

In that year was about 60,000,000 gallons a day. Since then a slight net 

decline In the rate of Industrial withdrawal apparently has occurred, 

resulting chiefly from a decirease or discontinuance of the use of ground 

water by the many Ice-manufacturing plants In western Long Island. Records 

of pumpage for the wells that together produced more than one-third of the 

total pumpage In 1936 as reported by Henderson Indicate that the net withdrawal In Kings and Queens Counties during 1942 was probably not greater 

than 55,000,000 gallons a day. This total Includes an estimate of withdrawal for wells constructed since 1936 that do not discharge water Into recharge 

wells. Because of the war, the manufacture of certain types of products In 

the westernmost part of Long Island has apparently been curtailed during the 

past year, and this has prob|ably brought about a further decrease In pumpage.

It Is estimated that the average rate of withdrawal for Industrial and 

Irrigatlonal uses In Nassau and Suffolk Counties during 1942 was about 

35,000,000 gallons a day. Although this estimate Is based on Insufficient 

data, It Is believed to be reasonably comprehenalva In scope. It Is probable 

that approximately half of this withdrawal Is returned to the ground by means 

of either recharge wells or by Infiltration at Irrigation projects or at 

sewage-leaching pits.

The withdrawal of ground-water on Long Island during 1942, not taking 

Into account the pumpage from numerous small domestic wells In the eastern 

part of the Island, most of which goes back Into the ground, thus amounted to 

about 106,000,000,000 gallons, or an average of about 290,000,000 gallons a 

day. Of this amount, at least 30,000,000 gallons-a day was returned to the 

ground, leaving a net average pumpage of not more than 260,000,000 gallons a 

day. The most noteworthy feature with respect to the withdrawal of ground 

water on Long Island Is the recent decrease In Industrial pumpage at the 

western end of the Island. Although this decrease has been relatively small, 

apparently, as previously mentioned, It has caused a noticeable recovery of 

water levels In parts of the excessively overpumped area In Kings County. If 

the rate of pumping In Kings County continues to decline, further rises In 

water level may be expected.

OHIO

By P. H. KLaer, Jr. 

PROGRAM OF WORK

An observation-well program intended to cover the greater industrial 

areas of the State was begun in Ohio during 1942 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Ohio 

Engineering Experiment Station of Ohio State University. The purpose of 

the program was to begin and continue records of water level in areas in 

which pumpage from wells for industrial and municipal use is large and 

from the records obtained to determine the general trends of ground-water 

levels over long periods. The pumping of ground water for use in industry 

has increased during the last few years with increased industrial activity, 

and it is believed that adequate information on the trends of water level 

in the greater industrial areaswill be an aid in future development and 

should therefore be available.

As part of the program, brief surveys of existing wells were made in 

Canton, Chillicothe, Columbus, Dayton, Mansfield, Marietta, Marion, Newark, 

Massillon, Springfield, and Zanesville. Observation wells were located and 

equipped with water-stage recorders in Columbus, Dayton, Mansfield, Marietta, 

Massillon, Newark, and Zanesville, and it was planned to establish observation wella in several other industrial cities, also. Lack of personnel, 

however, compelled curtailment of the program.

In two wells in the city of Canton not included in the cooperative 

program Just outlined, measurements of water level have been made since 

1959 under the direction of the Federal Geological Survey. Records for 

these wells and also records for wells of the Canton Water Department are 

included in this report.

On March 6, 1942, with the informal cooperation of the Dayton Water 

Department, city of Dayton, a water-stage recorder was installed by the 

Federal Geological Survey an an unused well in the Rohrer's Island Municipal

187
188 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PflBSSUHS, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

well field to obtain a record of the fluctuations of water level caused by 

artificial recharge of surface water to the ground.

In Butler and Hamilton Counties, where an intensive ground-water investigation was begun in 1938 in cooperation with the Boards of Commissioners 

of these counties, measurements of water level in observation wells were 

continued during 1942. For information on the progress of this work, see 

pages 199-228.

Records of water level listed in this report other than those for 

wells in Butler and Hamilton Counties are not yet suffieiently long to show 

any general trends. Only after they have covered several more years will 

they show significant long-time trends.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Ohio are listed alphabetically by counties and 

numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given only for 

newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well 

number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that 

wall are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk preceding 

the matber of a water-supply paper indicates that a description of the well 

is given in the paper so marked. The water level in each well, with the 

exception of most of the wells in the city of Canton, is expressed in feet 

below a fixed measuring point. The water level in most of the Canton wells 

is expressed in feet below land surface.

For more specific information on the water-level measurements listed 

for wells in Butler and Hamilton Counties, see page 1S9.

Calumbug

Wells in Columbus obtain water from two sources: (1) The sands and 

gravels filling a preglacial channel of the ancestral Scioto River at depths 

of about 100 feet or less and (2) the Columbus and other limestones at 

depths of 200 to 400 feet. In the central part of the city, large quantities 

of water are pumped for air conditioning frm wells ending in the Columbus 

limestone. Although several of the air-eeaditi«aliig systeaw use return 

wells for the disposal »f the water pvarpsd, there appears te be a large 

seasonal fluetuatiem ef water level due te iaerewed p%»page_ during the swmwr 

months.
OHIO, FRANKLIN COUNTY 189

The records obtained In 1942 from an automatic water-stage recorder on 

an unused well In the Spring Street garage of the Moores & Ross Dairy Go. 

show that the water level declined nearly 14 feet from April 27, when the 

recorder was Installed, to September 20 and then rose about 8 feet during 

the period September 21 to December 31. It Is believed that the heavy 

seasonal pumping for air conditioning was sharply reduced during the last 

two weeks In September.

190 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

MONTGOMERY COUNTY 

Dayton

Part of the municipal water supply of Dayton is pumped from wells on 

Rohrer 1 s Island, in the Mad River several miles northeast of the city. 

The island is crossed by several branches of the braided channel of the Mad 

River, and gates have been constructed to c~ontrol the flow of water in some 

of these. During certain times of the year these subchannels are kept 

filled with water. At other times they are emptied, and the accumulated 

silt and debris are cleaned out in order to expose the underlying gravels. 

When water is again allowed to flow in the subchannels, the water levels in 

wells on the island rise rapidly, as shown by the record of Dayton well 1 

during the period April 22-25.

An automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an unused well in 

this field on March 6, 1942,to obtain a continuous record of the fluctuations of water level, which are dependent primarily on the variations in 

pumpage from nearby wells and in recharge from the Mad River.

In order to obtain information on ground-water levels in the downtown 

part of Dayton, an automatic water-stage recorder was installed May 26, 1942, 

on an unused well at the Fourth Street steam-distribution plant of the 

Dayton Power & Light Co. It is believed that the fluctuation of the water 

level in the well is typical of fluctuation of the water levels in wells 

in the central part of the city. In general, the water levels declined 

during June and July, remained approximately the same during August and part 

of September, and rose during the period September 19 to December 31. This 

seasonal fluctuation appears to be dependent on variations in pumpage during 

the air-conditioning season.

Dayton 1. City of Dayton water department. Well is in Rohrer's Island 

well field, 54 feet southwest from well T77. Drilled test well,diameter 

6 inches, depth 57 feet. Measuring point, top of 6-inch pipe, 4.0 feet above 

land surface and 780.06 feet above sea level. Automatic water-stage recorder 

installed Mar. 6, 1942; maintained by water department, city of Dayton.

Lowest daily water level, in feet below measuring point, 1942

MUSKIHGUM COUNTY

Zanesville

The municipal water supply of Zanesville is obtained from wells along 

the east bank of the Muskingum River. The water occurs in sand and gravel 

deposits in the river valley. An automatic water-stage recorder was 

installed on an unused well, No. 14 of the city field, on May 21, 1942. 

The water level in this well is affected by the pumping of wells in the 

municipal field to the extent of about 0.5 foot. During the period May 21 

to December 31 it declined nearly 8 feet.

Zanesville 1. City of Zanesville water department. On east bank of 

Muskingum River, 0.5 mile north of north corporation line. Unused drilled 

well, diameter 18 inches, depth 54 feet. Measuring point, top of booster, 

,2.6 feet below top of metal manhole cover at land surface. Automatic water- 

 stage recorder installed May 21, 1942. Maintained by William Koch, of the 

Zanesville water department.

OHIO, HIGHLAND COUNT? 193

HIGHLAND COUNTY

Mansfield

The present municipal water supply of Mansfield is obtained from seven 

wells near the Maxwell Springs pumping station, about 2 miles southwest of 

the city limits. Five of the wells end in sandstone and two end in sand 

and gravel. The average pumpage in April 1942 was about 4 million gallons 

a day. Many industries within the city limits obtain water from wells 

ending in sand and gravel that fill a pr-eglacial channel running south and 

southeast through the city. The municipal supply was formerly obtained in 

part from wells at the North Main Street pumping station, which is now 

abandoned. An automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an unused 

well at that plant on May 5, 1942. This well is believed to end in gravel, 

and its water level is affected by pumped wells in the vicinity. The waterlevel record is incomplete largely because of faulty recorder operation. 

The range in fluctuation during 1942 was about 12 feet.

Mansfield 1. City of Mansfield water department. At North Main Street 

pumping station. On north side of abandoned pumping station, near southeast corner of reservoir. Unused drilled well, diameter 14 inches, depth 

129 feet. Measuring point, top of wooden recorder platform, 1.3 feet above 

land surface, 2.3 feet above top of 14-inch steel casing and 0.3 fr>ot above 

top of 12-inch tile covering casing. Automatic water-stage recorder 

installed May 5, 1942} maintained by William Kissell. Recorder out of service May 17, to Oct. 13, 1942.

194 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

STARK COUNTY

Canton 

By A. N. Sayre and P. H. Klaer, Jr.

Nine wells in the city of Canton were under observation in 1942. Weekly 

measurements of water level in seven of these were made by the Canton Water 

Department; in one, the Republic Steel Corporation's test well, measurements were made by E. V. Beftoulides; and on one, an -unused well at the 

Ohio Power Co.'s steam plant, an automatic water-stage recorder was maintained by C. R. Phillips under the direction of the Geological Survey. 

All the wells end in the outwash gravel that underlies a large part of the 

city.

The water levels in the wells of the Northeast Park well field of the 

city of Canton, in general, rose 1 to 4 feet, largely because of decreased 

pumpage from this field and the more nearly normal precipitation in 1942 

than in 1941.

The pumpage from the municipal well fields was nearly 16 percent 

greater during 1942 than during 1940 and about 10 percent greater than 

during 1941. The average daily pumpage from these fields was 13.464 million

gallons a day.

The water level in the Republic Steel Corporation's test well, which 

had declined each year since it was first observed, continued to decline 

during 1942. During the period January to April, however, it rose nearly 

1 foot £ut it declined nearly 4 feet during the period May to December. 

The water level in December 1942 was nearly 15 feet lower than in December 

1939, about 10J feet lower than in December 1940, and riearly 3 feet lower 

than in December 1941.

The water level in the Ohio Power Co.'s well declined almost continuously 

a total of 5 feet during the year. In December 1942 it was nearly 17 feet 

lower than in December 1939, nearly 12 feet lower than in December 1940, and 

nearly 5 feet lower than in December 1941.,
OHIO, STARK COUNTY 195

The measurements given in this report of water levels in wells observed 

by the Canton Water Department were made on the Monday nearest the end of 

each month. All measurements made under the direction of the Geological

Massillon

Large quantities of ground water are pumped for industrial use 

and municipal supply from the sands and gravels filling the interglacial 

valley of the Tuacarawas River at Massillon. In addition, some water is 

taken from rock wells penetrating the Masaillon sandatone. In June 1942 

an automatic water-stage recorder was installed on an unused well in the 

basement of the main office building of the Republic Steel Corporation, in 

the southern part of Massillon. This well is believed to end in gravel.
OHIO, WASHINGTON COUNTY 197

The record of its water level shows that the well is apparently unaffected 

by the pumping of any individual well in the vicinity but is probably 

affected by the combined pumping of rather distant wells. In 1942 the 

water level fluctuated as follows: It declined about 2.25 feet during the 

period June 19 to December 25 and then rose about 0.5 foot during the 

period December 26-31.

Massillon 1. Republic Steel Corporation. In basement of main office 

building of corporation, on Oberlin Avenue. Unused drilled well, diameter 

6 inches, depth 48 feet. Measuring point, top of concrete base, 0.45 foot 

above concrete floor and 6.0 feet'below land surface. Automatic water-stage 

recorder installed June 23, 1942; maintained by S. J. Hoffee, of the

WASHINGTON COUNTY

Marietta

The city of Marietta, which is situated at the mouth of the Muskingum 

River, is mainly a residential and farm community, although several 

industries have located plants there. The municipal water supply is 

obtained from three wells in the gravel fill of the valley of the Kuakingua 

River at the north end of the city. In May 1942, an automatic water-stage 

recorder was installed on an unused well at the rear of. the Marietta

Osteopathlc Clinic, In the central part of the city, to obtain a continuous 

record of water level In the sands and gravels In the valleys of the 

Musklngum and Ohio Rivers. It was found that the water level In the 

observation well was affected by pumping from a nearby alr-condltloning 

well. The record obtained Is Incomplete and therefore not adequate to 

show the effect on the water level of local precipitation or of high stages 

of the Musklngum or Ohio River.

BUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES

The observation-well program in Butler and Hamilton Counties, Ohio, 

begun in June 1938, was continued during 1942 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Boards 

of Commissioners of Butler and Hamilton Counties. The program has been 

continued in order to check the results and conclusions of the more detailed 

investigation of ground-water conditions in these two counties completed 

in June 1941.

During the last half of 1941 and the first half of 1942, the engineering firm of Shoecraft, Drury & McNamee, of Ann Arbor, Mich., was employed 

by the Mill Creek Valley Conservation Association to make a detailed study 

of the buried valleys of Butler and Hamilton Counties and to prepare engineering plans for the develojpment of a supplemental water supply. In connection with the work of this firm, 11 test wells were drilled in the Little 

Miami Valley near Llnwood and Newtownand 11 were drilled in the Big Miami 

Valley south of Hamilton. Records of water-level measurements in these 

wells-.-No3. Bl to Bll--are included in this report.

A project consisting of the development of a well field in the Big 

Miami Valley several miles south of Hamilton and the construction of a 

pipe line and storage reservoir was begun in June 1942 by the War Public 

Works Division of the Federal Works Agency, based on the engineering plans 

of Alvord, Burdick & Howson, consulting engineers, of Chicago, 111. The 

Federal Geological Survey was asked to make several detailed pumping tests 

to determine certain hydrologic characteristics of the area and to draw up 

and supervise a program of test drilling and observation wells designed to 

show any effect of the new well field on the existing water supplies in 

the Hamilton area. In connection with this work, 27 test wells were 

planned and were in course of being drilled in December 1942.

At the end of 1942, water levels were being measured in 75 wells at 

weekly intervals and in 15 wells at monthly intervals. During the year 

about 5,000 measurements of water level were made by H. F. Pittman, M. S. 

Cook, B. Clegg, J. J. Higgins, J. J. Reese, R. G. Kaznann, and F. H. Klaer, 

Jr., for the Geological Survey. Measurements of water level in 12 wells 

were disbontinued and measurements in 25 new wells were begun during the 

year.
200 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

xAutomatic water-stage recorders were in operation on observation wells 

many of which are in areas of heavy pumping, where fluctuations of water 

level are so great that individual tape measurements made at weekly intervals are of little value. Recorders were maintained throughout the year 

on 8 wells and for shorter periods on 5 other wells. At the end of-the 

year, recorders were in operation on 13 wells in Butler and Hamilton 

Counties.

Precipitation in southwestern Ohio during 1942 was several inches 

above normal. A long period of generally deficient rainfall, beginning in 

July 1940, continued throughout 1941 and ended in April 1942. The cumulative deficiency in rainfall for this period was nearly 20 inches. Rainfall 

from April to December 1942 was generally above normal, and the total excess during this period was about 8 inches. Although the first 6 months 

of the year was relatively dry, conditions were favorable for allowing recharge to the ground-water reservoir. During the last 6 months of the 

year, during which precipitation was in general above normal, the rainfall 

was sufficient to keep water levels in most wells from dropping to the low 

stages of 1941.

Pumpage from wells in the Mill Creek and Miami Valleys during 1942 is 

believed to have been greater than in former years, largely because of the 

increased industrial activity in connection with the war effort. It is 

estimated that the pumpage wa,s 10 to 15 percent greater during 1942 than 

during 1941. The total pumpage from the Mill Creek Valley and the Norwood 

trough during 1942 was estimated to be nearly 21 -pillion gallons of water 

a day. The increase in the rate of pumpage from wells in the Middletown 

and Hamilton areas is believed to be similar-.

In the Lockland area, where most of the water pumped is for industrial 

use, the average daily pumpage from wells increased from an estimated 

7,941,000 gallons a day during 1941 to an estimated 8,760,000 gallons a 

day, or 10.3 percent. This increase is due primarily to increased pumpage 

at a large war plant. The total pumpage for the other large users of well 

water in this area was somewhat smaller during 1942 than during 1941.

Water levels in January 1942, in general, were low, although in most 

wells in areas unaffected by heavy withdrawal of ground water they were 

higher than the lowest levels reached during 1941. The rise in water levels 

which began in December 1941 was due mainly to the more normal precipitation.
OHIO, BUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES 201

Water levels in the upper Mill Creek Valley and in the Miami Valley continued to rise generally until April, and in some wells until July and August. 

Above normal precipitation during the period April to August allowed the 

water levels in some wells to reach their highest levels since the spring 

of 1940.

In the Middletpwn area, the water levels in the shallow water-bearing 

beds, which declined slightly or- rose slowly during January, rose 2 to 6 

feet during February, and again rose rapidly an additional 2 to 4 feet in 

April. They declined rapidly in May, fluctuated within narrow limits during June and July, and then generally declined until late in November. The 

lowest levels reached in November 1942 were 2 to 4 feet higher than the 

lowest levels reached during 1941.

In the Hamilton area,-water levels rose in most wells during the 

period February to April and generally declined during the rest of the year. 

The lowest levels reached during the fall of 1942, however, were, in general, slightly higher than those reached during December 1941 and January 

1942.

In the Miami Valley south of Hamilton and in the divide area between 

the Mill Creek Valley and the Miami Valley, the lowest levels reached during 1942 were 1 to 3 feet higher than those reached during 1941.

In the Mill Creek Valley south of the Hamilton County line, water 

levels in wells in the deeper water-bearing beds declined in general during 

the entire year, although between the Glendale-Milford road and Crescentville their rate of decline was less during the 3-month period February to 

April than during the remainder of the year. The continued decline was 

probably caused mainly by the increase in, pumpage in the Lockland area. 

The lowest stages reached by the water levels during 1942 were 2 to 18 

feet lower than the lowest reached during 1941.

In the lower Mill Creek Valley, in the stretch from Carthage to Saint 

Bernard, water levels continued to decline during 1942 at approximately the 

same rate as during previous years about 3 feet a year. Changes in the 

distribution of pumpage within several large well fields caused variations 

in the rates of decline in several observation wells, but these are of only 

local importance.
202 WATER LEVELS A^ID ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The general trend of water levels in many wells in the buried valleys 

of Butler and Hamilton Counties during the 4-year period 1958-42 has been 

generally downward. However, in the Middletown area, the water level in 

the shallow water-bearing beds was approximately 1 to 2 feet higher at the 

end of 1942 than at the end of 1938. In the deeper water-bearing beds, 

water levels continued to decline in general throughout the period, but 

data are not available to show the average rate of decline in the Middletown 

area.

in the Hamilton area, the water levels in the deeper water-bearing 

beds in general declined from 1939 to August or September 1941 and rose 

slightly during 1942. The lowest level reached during the period 1939-42 

was reached during the summer of 1941. Water levels in December 1942 were 

about 1 foot above the lowest levels of 1941.

In the Miami Valley south of Hamilton and in the Mill Creek Valley, 

water levels in general followed the same general trend, reaching their 

lowest recorded stages for the period 1938-42 in 1941 and showing a net 

gain of several feet at the end of 1942 over the low stages of 1941.

In the Mill Creek Valley south of Sharon Avenue, where water levels 

are greatly affected by the heavy withdrawal of ground water for industrial 

and municipal use, the general trend of water levels up to 1942 was similar 

to that in other areas. The rates of decline, however, were somewhat 

greater in 1942, and in most wells no rise in water levels occurred. This 

condition was due primarily to the increasing pumpage for war industries.

In the Ivorydale area, the same 4-year period shows a steady decline 

in water levels. No fluctuations of water level indicative of a recharge 

or replenishment can be identified, and the downward trend has been very 

consistent.

VffiLL DESCRIPTIONS AND 'WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Butler and Hamilton Counties are listed by their 

numbers, based on geographic location. In general, the wells are grouped 

by townships, beginning in the northern part of Butler County. Complete 

descriptions are given for only newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well number indicate 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
OHIO, BUTLER COUNTY 203

that paper. For wells, the water level is expressed in feet below a fixed 

measuring point; for gravel pits it is expressed in feet above the zero 

reading of staff gages. For wells on which automatic water-stage recorders 

have been in operation, the lowest water level reached each day, as determined from recorder charts, is given.

By G. D. DeBuchananne 

PROGRAM OP TORE

The observation-well program in Pennsylvania, begun in 1931 by the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation 

with the Topographic and Geologic Survey of the Pennsylvania Department of 

Internal Affairs, was continued in 1942. The program is carried on as 

part of a systematic survey of the ground-water resources of the State, 

begun under the same cooperation some years earlier. During the year about 

1,400 measurements of water level were made, and at the end of the year 

26 wells were under observation. An automatic water-stage recorder was 

maintained on one well well 100, at Montrose, Susquehanna County and at 

the same well a rain gage was maintained.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Pumping affects the observation wells in Pennsylvania but little. 

During 1942 water was withdrawn from only one of them well 76, near 

Wapwallopen, Luzerne County, which is pumped occasionally during dry periods. 

Well 57, at Sunbury, Northumberland County, and well 61, at Newport, Perry 

Ccunty, may.be affected by the pumping of nearby wells.

Figure 3 shows the weekly average of water levels in 1942, the 

highest and lowest weekly averages prior to 1942, and the 10-year weekly 

average, which Is a composite of the weekly averages from the beginning of 

record In the period 1932 to 1941. Graphs of the monthly precipitation 

during 1942 and of the 55-year normal monthly precipitation are also 

Included in the figure.

Precipitation was above normal during most of 1942. As a consequence 

the weekly average water level at the end of the year was about 1.7 feet 

higher than the weekly average at the beginning of the year. During the 

first week In January the 1942 weekly average was slightly below the 10-year 

weekly average. At the end of December the 1942 weekly average was 1.58

feet above the 10-year weekly average.

comparison with previous years of record.
PENNSYLVANIA 231

During 1942 the weekly average water level followed the trend of the 

10-year weekly average, rising and falling In response to precipitation 

and to the demands of vegetation for water. The 1942 weekly average was 

above the 10-year weekly average during most of the year. Precipitation 

was above normal during the months of May, July, August, and September, 

but because of the demands of vegetation the weekly average water level 

declined throughout these months. The demands of vegetation were responsible, also, for a decrease in recharge, which, in turn, caused a loss of 

ground water from storage and thereby lowered the level of the water table. 

After the growth of vegetation had ceased, the precipitation continued 

above normal, and, as a result, during the months of October, November, and 

December ground-water levels rose.

The weekly average in 1942 was below the 10-year weekly average only 

twice during the year. Record new highs were established for periods In 

each of the months of May, June, August, October, November, and December. 

No new record lows occurred.

In 10 wells in 1942 the water levels reached new highs for the period 

of record (1 In January, 1 In March, 3 in April, 3 in May, 1 In August, 

and 1 In December), and in 5 wells they reached new lows (1 in January, 1

in February, 2 In October, and 1 In December).

232 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTHEASTERN STATES

The records of water-table fluctuations in the Susquehanna River 

Valley are used regularly by the Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. in predicting minimum stream flow. The method of arriving at the predictions was 

developed by C. P. Merriam, and ,by means of it, the flow of the river at 

any given time in the future can be predicted. The method assumes, however, 

that no rainfall and no freeze will occur. Although the worst possible 

conditions are thus assumed,the predictions are nevertheless considered 

valuable in planning the operations of the company's power stations. 

Records of the water levels in wells in the Susquehanna Valley are furnished 

to the company each week as soon as they are received in order that the 

predictions may be kept up to date.

WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Pennsylvania are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county. Complete descriptions of the wells are 

not given because they have already been published. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well number indicate the water-supply papers 

in which earlier records of that well are given and the pages on which 

they appear. An asterisk preceding the number of a water-supply paper 

indicates that a description of the well is given in the paper so marked. 

The water level in each well is expressed in feet above an assumed datum 

plane. For the following wells datum planes were determined in 1942 and 

are used for the first time in this report: Well 116, in Bedford County; 

well 117, in Mifflin County; well 118, in Elk County; well 119, in Lancaster 

County; and well 120, in Butler County. These five wells were established 

during the fall of 1941 ,and their water-level records, as published in 

Water-Supply Paper 936, were expressed in feet bel-ow measuring point. 

Conversion factors are given in the present report in order that all the

measurements made in these wells may be based on a common datum.
