WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1937

INTRODUCTION

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 the wells and springs and to maintain the flow of the streams 

during periods of fair weather. The 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 to which they are replenished In seasons 

of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The pressures recorded on flowing 

wells also indicate the extent of depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

The present report is the third of an annual series on ground-water 

levels and artesian pressure, the first and second of which were published 

as Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817 respectively. This series of reports 

is in a sense an inventory, year by year, of the water supplies of the 

parts of the country which it covers. The present report gives records of 

water levels or artesian pressure in observation wells in 28 States and the 

Territory of Hawaii that were obtained by the Geological Survey and cooperating Federal, State, Territorial, county, and local agencies. The 

complete records of water levels In some wells not heretofore published are 

given in this report, including those for years prior to 1937. For the 

most part, however, this volume gives current records on wells whose previous records have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817. If complete descriptions of the wells are given in those papers, the well numbers 

only or these numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given in this 

report.

In most States for which records are given in this report the observation wells are not systematically distributed in accordance with a Statewide program but are the wells used in specific investigations of certain, 

areas, largely areas of heavy pumping. In Indiana, Nebraska, Hew Jersey, 

North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah systematic State-wide programs 

are being carried on, but in parts of even these States there are very few 

observation wells. It is planned that as opportunity is afforded and as 

cooperation is obtained the project will be developed into a systematic 

Nation-wide program that will provide reliable and continuing basic data

2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

on ground-water levels and artesian pressures of all the principal waterbearing formations, with special emphasis on the areas of heavy pumping or 

heavy artesian flow.

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

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

some are given in height above sea level; and some are given in height 

above an assumed datum plane. On some of the observation wells the measuring points were changed in 1937, and therefore the records may not be 

directly comparable with those in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817, but 

such changes are recorded in this report. Water levels given in heights 

above sea level or above assumed datum planes are generally comparable 

with those given in the previous annual volumes.

W. Graham, who typed the offset copy; to A. W. Harkness and Miss Anna

General summary of changes in ground-water level in 1937

In 1937 net rises of water level occurred in many observation wells 

unaffected by heavy withdrawals in the eastern and western parts of the 

United States, and net declines occurred generally in observation wells in 

the middle part. The annual changes in water level correspond rather 

closely to the departures from normal annual precipitation for these 

sections. The precipitation In 1937 was above normal In all eastern States 

and in most of the western States, whereas it was below normal in most of 

the middle States, especially in the Great Plains. The water levels in observation wells in areas of heavy withdrawals fluctuated also with changes 

in the rate of withdrawal, and thus the changes in water levels in 1937 in 

many intensively developed areas do not correlate closely with the 

precipitation.

The water levels in observation wells rose in some parts of Long 

Island, N. Y., in 1937 and declined in other parts. On the western end of 

Long Island, where there are especially large ground-water developments, 

the water level continued the gradual decline that has been in progress for
INTRODUCTION 3 "

many years. The water levels in three wells in central New York State 

stood at about the same stages at the end of 1937 as at the beginning of 

the year. In New Jersey, a well in the Atlantic City region showed no 

change in 1937, and the water level in a well in the Camden region had a 

net rise of 0.2 foot in the year. Both wells are in heavily pumped areas. 

A decline £n water level of about 0.4 foot occurred in 1937 in the Morrill 

well, near Runyon, N. J., which is not affected by pumping. At the end 

of the year the water level in this well stood 0.2 foot below the average 

stage for that time of the year, the average being based on 14 years of 

observation. The water levels in about 30 wells included in the State-wide 

program in Pennsylvania averaged about the same at the end of 1937 as at 

the end of 1936. However, this level is 0.86 foot above the average 6-year 

stage for that period of the year.

The water level in a shallow well in Maryland at the end of 1937 stood 

about 1.3 feet above its stage at the corresponding time in 1936, and the 

water levels in four representative wells in northern Virginia rose an 

average of 3.2 feet in the year. The water levels in seven wells distributed over the State of North Carolina were higher throughout most of 1937 

than in 1936 and stood higher in most of the wells at the end of 1937 than 

at the beginning. However, the water levels in a group of wells in the 

Deep River area of North Carolina declined an average of about 2.2 feet 

in 1937. At the end of the year the average of the water levels in these 

wells was 1.63 feet and 0.27 foot respectively lower than at the end of 

1935 and 1934. The water levels in the wells of the Deep Kiver area on 

October 1, 1937, averaged 0.48 foot above their average stage on the corresponding date in 1936, but because of the low precipitation at the end of 

1937, which was rather general in the eastern part of the United States, 

the water levels failed to hold their gains and finished the year at comparatively low stages. The average of the water levels in 17 wells in the 

Tiger River area, South Carolina, declined 0.73 foot in 1937. However, at 

the end of the year the water levels averaged about 2.3 feet and 2.5 feet 

respectively higher than at the end of 1935 and 1934. In Marion County, 

Pla., the pressure head in a well and the water level in Blue Grotto Sink 

rose by Decembsr 1937 to stages above those of December .1936.
4 * WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

In the northern part of the Southern Peninsula of Michigan, where a 

large number of wells are under observation, the ground-water level, as indicated by a typical well in Roscommon County, rose about 0.35 foot in 1937. 

The highest stJage since observations were begun in 1934 was recorded In 

February 1937. In Indiana the water levels in most of the observation wells 

included in a State-wide program stood lower at the end of 1937 than at the 

beginning of the year. Of five observation wells in central and northern 

Wisconsin the water levels in two rose and the water levels in three declined in 1937. The average of the water levels in ten wells in the Coon 

Creek area, Wisconsin, at the end of 1937 stood 0.29 foot below the average 

stage at the end of 1936 and 0.26 foot lower than at the end of 1935. The 

water levels, however, averaged 0.14 foot higher than at the end of 1934.

The water level in a well near Harvey, N. D., was about 7 feet higher 

at the end of 1937 than at the end of 1936. This stage is about 12 feet 

above the lowest stage recorded in the 11 years of record and about 1.5 

feet higher than the level of February 1, 1927, when observations were 

begun. The well is punned for public supply. An observation well in the 

Huron, S. D. f well field showed a net loss of 2.5 feet in 1937 and at the 

end of the year was about 3 feet lower than at the end of 1935. In Nebraska 

the water levels in most observation wells in all sections of the State except the northeastern part declined in 1937, and the water levels in many 

of the wells registered their lowest stages since observations were begun 

in 1934. The average of the water levels in 167 wells distributed over the 

State declined 0.12 foot in 1937. Of the 167 wells, the water levels in 71 

registered new low stages in 1937 and in 15 registered new high stages.

The average water levels in 14 wells in the Tarkio Creek area, Iowa 

and Missouri, declined by the end of 1937 to 1.66 feet below the average 

stage at the corresponding time in 1936, and 2.37 feet and 1.07 feet respectively below the average stages at the end of 1935 and 1934. In the 

Limestone Creek area, Kansas, the average of the water levels in 16 wells 

was about the same at the end of 1937 as at the beginning of the year. 

This average was about 2.4 feet lower than the average level at the end of 

1935 but about 1.5 feet higher than the average stage at the end of 1934. 

The average water levels in a group of wells in the Stillwater Creek area, 

Oklahoma, declined for the third consecutive year and at the end of 1937 

stood about 0.8 foot lower than at the end of 1936, 2.2 feet lower than at 

the end of 1935, and about 2.7 feet lower than at the end of 1934. Water

their persistent downward trend, which has been in progress throughout 9 

years of observation. Heavy withdrawals of water from wells are made in 

the Grand Prairie region for the irrigation of rice. The average of the 

water levels in 21 wells in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek areas, Texas, indicated a net decline of 1.5 feet in 1937. However, the average stage at 

the end of the year was 0.7 foot and 6 feet respectively higher than the 

average stages at the corresponding times in 1935 and 1934.

In the Plathead Valley, Mont., between Flathead Lake and Kalispell, 

the average water levels in observation wells was lower throughout 1937 

than at corresponding times in 1936. The water levels declined on an 

average about 0.1 foot in the year and at the end of 1937 the average was 

0.94 foot below the average stage at the end of 1929. In Utah, where a 

State-wide program of measurements of water levels in observation wells is 

in progress, the water levels rose in 27 out of 35 ground-water areas, declined in 6 areas, and were essentially unchanged in 2 areas. In 1936, 

when observations were made in 26 of the ground-water areas, the water 

levels in wells rose in 22 and declined in only 3 areas, and remained about 

the same in one area.

The average of the water levels in 25 wells in the Palouse River area 

in Whitman County, Wash., stood 1.7 feet higher at the end of 1937 than at 

the beginning of the year, 0.8 foot higher than at the beginning of 1936, 

but 0.5 foot lower than at the beginning of 1935. In the Walla Walla River 

Basin, Oreg., the water-level fluctuations in individual observation wells 

ranged from a net rise for 1937 of 8.3 feet to a net decline of 6.7 feet. 

The average of the water levels in wells in the basin declined 0.3 foot in 

1937 in contrast to an average rise of 0.25 foot in 1936.

Large fluctuations of water level occurred in many wells in southern 

California in 1937 as the result of heavy rains. The water level in a well 

at Baldwin Park, in the San Gabriel River Basin, at the end of the year was 

about 21 feet above its stage at the end of 1936. At the end of 1937 the 

water level in this well was about 30.8 feet above the record low established in 1931 and 41.3 feet below the record high recorded in 1916. 

Measurements on the well have been made periodically since 1904. The water 

level in the Williams well, in the San Bernardino River Basin, rose about 

23 feet in 1937, the greatest annual rise in the period of record, which 

extends back to 1892. The large rise in 1937 followed closely the record 

low stage, which occurred in October 1936. A small net rise in water level 

occurred in a well on the coastal plain of southern California, whereas the
6 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

water levels In wells In Antelope Valley declined an average of about 4 

feet. The water levels In wells In some parts of San Jaclnto Valley, 

Mojave River Valley, and Sallnas Valley declined while In wells In other 

parts of these valleys they rose. Net rises for the year were recorded 

In Ventura County and Santa Ynez Valley and In the Santa Clara Valley, 

where the water levels rose from 6 to 24 feet In 1937. Water levels In 

wells In the Mokelumne area, California, rose on an average about 1.2 

feet In 1937, which conforms to the upward trend that has been In progress 

since 1933. Prior to 1933 the trend of the ground-water level In the 

Mokelumne area had been downward for about 8 years.

The precipitation In the Hawaiian Islands was plentiful In 1937, and 

the ground-water levels in general rose. The water levels on the average 

were higher at the end of 1937 in all 12 artesian areas on the Island of 

Oahu, the gains ranging from 0.05 foot to 3.74 feet. Similar gains were 

recorded on the Islands of Maul and Hawaii.

Grand Prairie Region 

By David 3. Thompson

Measurements of the depth to water level in wells in the Grand 

Prairie region, comprising Arkansas County and parts of Lonoke and 

Prairie Counties, Ark,, were begun in 1927 by the Federal Geological 

Survey and have been continued each year since then in cooperation with 

the Arkansas Geological Survey or the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment 

Station. The work was continued In 1937 by the Federal Geological 

Survey in cooperation with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. 

Most qf the work of measuring wells was done by employees of the Agricultural Experiment Station under the general supervision of Prof. 

Deane G. Carter, and ths immediate direction, at different times during 

the year, of G. H. Banks and L. C. Carter, T, J. Fricke, engineer of 

the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, with headquarters in Stuttgart, has 

also cooperated informally in the well measurement program and has furr 

nished the record of some measurements made by him.

In the early years of investigation in the Grand Prairie region a 

considerable number of wells were measured several times a year. It was 

found that the most critical information showing the trend of the water 

level or artesian head in the Grand Prairie region can be obtained by 

annual measurements made as late as possible in the spring, but before 

pumping for rice irrigation begins. In order to afford significant comparisons from year to year the measurements of any given well should be 

made within two weeks of the date of the previoua years' measurements. 

For certain reasons in the past 3 or 4 years there has been some shifting 

of dates; and, although an effort has been made to obtain measurements 

on comparable dates this has not always been possible. From year to year 

some wells have been measured in September or later, after pumping for 

irrigation has ceased. However, at this aeason of the year, the water

\J A brief description of geologic and hydrologic conditions in the 

Grand Prairie region, with preliminary concluaiona, Is given in: Groundwater supplies for rice irrigation in the Grand Prairie region, Arkanaas: 

U. S. Dept. Interior Press Mem. 49844, 21 pp.. 2 maps, Jan. 26, 1931. 

Measurements of the depth to water in some wells in the region are given 

in Water-Supply Paper 777, Water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in the United States, 1935, pp. 5-17, 1936, and Water-Supply 

Paper 817, Water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in 

the United States, 1936, pp. 3-5, 1937.
8 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

level or artesian head is generally rising fairly rapidly, and unless 

measurements in different years are made within a day or two of the same 

date in successive years, they may lead to erroneous interpretations.

In the spring of 1957 measurements were made in about 150 wells for 

which records had been obtained in one or more previous years by the 

Federal Geological Survey; and in the fall about 40 such wells were 

measured. In addition about 120 wells not included in the original investigation were measured by Mr. Pricke, of the Federal Land Bank of 

St. Louis and Mr. Mayo Windham, of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment 

Station. Three automatic water-stage recorders belonging to the Federal 

Geological Survey wore operated on wells for periods of different length; 

and since the fall of 1936 the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station 

has operated automatic recorders for periods of a few weeks to more than 

a year on a total of 8 wells in the Grand Prairie region. Altogether, 

during the year one or more measurements were made on about 275 wells.

In September 1937 the writer had his first opportunity to visit the 

Grand Prairie region since June 1931. In the interim the work of measuring wells had been carried out at different times by several observers, 

some of whom had no special training or instruction for such work. It 

was found that at some of the comparatively small number of wells visited 

by the writer, there had been significant changes in the elevation of the 

measuring points without any statement of auch changes being recorded in 

the field notes. Pumps had been installed or removed, and at some wells 

the well casings had sunk to a deeper position. In some wells the change 

in elevation of measuring point was only 0.1 or 0.2 foot an amount that 

might be significant in determining change in water level between two 

successive years but not over a period of several years, but in otner 

wells it apparently was as much as a foot. This situation could not be 

prevented in view of the insufficient funds for maintaining the observation-well program during the economic depression. It demonstrates the 

need for establishing one or more fairly permanent benchmarks near each 

well, and it is hoped that this can be done in the future.

In Water-Supply Paper 777 there were published the complete records 

to date for 21 wells, including monthly readings on well 280, on which 

an automatic recorder had been operated continuously for more than 7 

years, and similar records for 4 other wells on which recorders had been 

operated from 1 to 4^ years (wells 10, 51A, 501, and 507). In WaterSupply Paper 817, weekly records were published for well 280, and a 

spring measurement and for some wells a fall measurement were given for

days In different years it is necessary to correct for the fluctuations 

of atmospheric pressure by comparison with a barograph record at some 

meteorologic station, the nearest of which is the United States Weather 

Bureau station at Little Rock. For this reason the time of day at 

which measurements were made is given so far as it has been recorded by 

the field observer.

The fluctuations of the water level in 4 wells that have been 

equipped with automatic water-level recorders for periods of ijf to about 

9^ years are shown graphically in figure 1. In all of these wella 

there is a daily fluctuation of at least an inch or two, and in well 280, 

when the pump of a nearby well is started or stopped, there may be 

several feet in a day. It is, therefore, not possible to show the complete movement of the water level, but the graph shows the lowest water 

level reached daily. During the pumping season the considerable fluctuation in well 280 may have been at least several inches greater than 

shown in the graph.

To interpret*the fluctuations of the water level in wells in the 

Grand Prairie region from year to year, information is needed as to the 

total quantity of ground water pumped each irrigation season. It has 

not been possible to determine this very accurately but estimates have 

been made in the following manner. Data in regard to consumption of 

water per acre were obtained for several pumping plants near Stuttgart 

in 1928 and 1929 by B. S. Clayton, of the Division of Agricultural Engineering, United States Bureau of Public Roads, in connection with an investigation made in cooperation with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment

2/

Station. In 1928 the precipitation at Stuttgart during the three principal months of irrigation, June, July, and August, was 15.11 Inches, 

and the average consumption of water on seven farms investigated by Clayton was equivalent to a depth of 16.1 inches (1.33 feet) over the irrigated area. In 1929 the precipitation for the three months was 5.54 

inches, and the average consumption of water on 11 farms was 21.2 inches 

(1.77 feet). In 1928 the precipitation for the three months was considerably above the average for the 40-year period 1888 to 1927 (11.30 

inches), and in 1929 it was considerably below it. By Interpolating between the figures given for precipitation and consumption of water other 

figures as to estimated consumption may be obtained for each year according to the precipitation during the three months of irrigation. These

States Bureau of Agricultural Economics, give an estimate of the quantity 

of water pumped. The base data and estimates are given in the following 

table. These data are shown graphically in figure 2, with a 

generalized curve showing the fluctuation of the water level in well 280.

Precipitation during June, July, and August, at Stuttgart, Ark.; 

estimated depth of water applied in irrigation; acres of rice irrigated; 

and estimated total quantity of water pumped in Grand Prairie region, 

1928-1937.

a U. S. Weather Bureau reports.

b Determined by interpolation between figures for rainfall and 

depth of water applied in irrigation as determined by B. S. Glayton in 

1928 and 1929.

c Data furnished by Stuart L. Bryan, agricultural statistician, 

U. S. Bur. Agr. Econ., Little Rock. The figures for 1928 and 1929 differ somewhat from figures given in Department of the Interior memorandum 

for the press, January 26, 1931, Ground-water supplies for rice irrigation in the Grand Prairie region, Arkansas, because Bur. Agr. Econ. has 

since revised the earlier figures.

d Final report not yet available. Estimated by the writer on basis 

of preliminary estimate of total acreage for State and percentage of 

acreage in Grand Prairie to total for State in several previous years.

There are obviously several possibilities of uncertainty in this 

method of estimating the quantity of water pumped for irrigation. 

However, it is believed that in the absence of more accurate data the 

results are at least significant In showing the general trend of pumpage 

from year to year. Thus, for example, although the acreage irrigated in 

1931 was about equal to or probably a little greater than in 1930, it is 

reasonable to believe that the pumpage was much greater in 1930 because 

of the great deficiency in precipitation. Although the precipitation was 

about the same in 1934 and 1937 it is a reasonable assumption that the 

pumpage was greater in 1937 because, according to the preliminary estimates, a larger acreage was irrigated.

The graphs of all of the wells shown in figure 1 , except that of 

well 280, do not cover a period long enough to show the general trend.
ARKANSAS 13

They are of value mainly In showing the character and amount of fluctuation of the water level In several wells at places widely distributed 

from the extreme north to the extreme south of the Grand Prairie. The 

small seasonal fluctuation In wells 51A and 501 may be attributed at 

least In part to the fact that they are at the extreme ends of the territory and there Is not much pumping within several miles of each. The 

small fluctuation in well 501 Is of further significance in that, although the well is not far from land that is at times overflowed by the 

Arkansas River, it shows no response to floods in that river. Evidently 

there is a relatively tight seal between the river bed and the waterbearing horizon.

In this connection attention should be called to the great fluctuation in well 507 on which a recorder was maintained for two irrigation 

seasons. In 1929 the change from highest to lowest level was 36.46 feet. 

A graph of this well (not published because the fluctuation was too great 

to be shown in figure 1 on the scale as used), Indicates that the 

major fluctuations coincide with the rise and fall of White River, whose 

flood waters reach a point from a half a mile to a mile east of the well.

In the single season that-a recorder was operated on well 10 It 

showed a fluctuation comparable to that of well 280, although well 10 Is 

considerably farther from the nearest pumping well than Is no. 280, and 

there was much less pumping in a radius of several miles of well 10 than 

of well 280. Such information as is available in regard to thickness and 

permeability of the water-bearing beds at the two localities does not 

account for the considerable fluctuation in well 10.

The graph showing fluctuations of water level in well 280 Is especially instructive in indicating the trend of the water level in wells in 

a part of the Grand Prairie region in which rice irrigation Is most intensive. The records of other wells that have been measured only one or 

two times a year show similar trends, although obviously less accurately, 

since the individual measurements may not be made at the most critical 

times to show either average or maximum changes in water level. The most 

significant fact shown is the practically continuous downward trend of 

the water level on corresponding dates in successive years throughout 

the 9 years of observation. The highest level reached each spring has 

been lower than in the previous spring, and the same has been true of 

the lowest level reached at the peak of the irrigation season each sum-' 

mer, except that in the very dry summer of 1930 It was lower than in the 

three following summers; and in 1932 the water level in well 280 dropped 

only about as low as in 1931. However, in many other wells that were 

77600 O 38 2
14 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

measured in late September or October the water level was lower in 1931 

than in 1930 and lower in 1932 than in 1931. It is worthy of note that 

the area irrigated in the Grand Prairie region in 1935 reported by the 

Bureau of Agricultural Engineering as 105,830 acres was the smallest 

since 1916, with the exception of 1921, and it was only slightly higher 

in 1933, 1934, and 1937, The rainfall during the irrigation season in 

1934, 1935, and 1936 was not far from normal. In 1933, however, it was 

considerably above normal. To judge from the estimates of pumpage made ac 

cording to the method outlined above, it seems likely that the pumpage in 

that year was less than in any of the 3 years immediately following and 

also in any year since 1915. The more or less steady drop in water level 

from year to year has continued in spite of the lower pumpage in the past 

few years.

measuring points described in Water-Supply Paper 777, pages 8-17)

280. Fred Hederich. This well is equipped with an automatic waterstage recorder. For the year 1937 the depths to water level whenever 

the recorder charts were changed, usually at weekly intervals, are given 

below. The graph of the lowest level reached each day since the recorder 

was installed in August 1928 is given in figure 1. The lowest water 

level reached in this well' in 1937 was 94.15 feet August 16. In comparison, the lowest level reached in 1936 was 93.65 feet. The highest level 

reached in 1937 was 86.70 feet March 24 as-compared with 86.10 feet 

Apr. 5, 1936. The high points are primarily induced by extreme conditions of low atmospheric pressure.

270. V. D. Harlin (formerly owned by .P. A. Wilson). NWi (?) 

sec. 24 (?), T. 3 S., R. 7 W. Measuring point, top of pump base at 

hole on east side, 0.1 foot below top of pit and 0.35 foot below raised 

flange of base. Altitude of measuring point, 197.54 feet. This well is 

about 100 feet south of a bayou known as Crooked Creek. In order to determine whether the water level in the well was affected by the creek a 

rough gage was cut on a tree standing near the edge of the creek about 

150 feet northwest of this well. The altitude of zero of the gage is 

about 179.6 feet. Readings on it at time when this well was measured 

are given below.

475. W. W. Lowe (in 1928; Ben Lowe in 1937), SWjSE^ sec. 21, 

T. 6 S., R. 3 W. Measuring point, top of pump base, level with top of 

concrete foundation about 0.5 foot above land surface. Altitude of 

measuring, point, 189.10 feet. An automatic water-stage recorder was Installed on this well by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station on 

Nov. 24, 1936, and has been in continuous operation since that date. 

There is given below the depth to water on dates when the recorder charts 

were changed, usually at weekly Intervals. During the early years of 

record there was a pump In this well, but this was removed before the 

recorder was installed. In September 1937 the measuring point was the 

same as the original point and it apparently has been used for all 

measurements. The irrigation wells nearest well 275 are two wells about 

600 feet apart and about 1,800 feet north of well 475. The recorder 

charts do not show any clear evidence of Immediate response to possible 

pumping of these wells during the summer of 1937.

k Recorder not operating May 26 to June 9 and June 15 to 17.

m The measurement for September 11 Is definitely recorded on the 

chart as 64.70 feet. However, this measurement does not agree with the 

line on the chart for the week preceding and the week following this 

measurement. Considering the fact that this measurement was made late 

in the season, after most irrigation was ended, and to judge from the 

chart, It apparently should be 62.70 feet.

Measuring point, top of pump base. Altitude of measuring point, about 

183 feet (estimated;. After Jan. 24, 1930, the original well was abandoned and pit pulled. Beginnlijg Apr. 29, 1930, measurements were made 

In a new well about 90 feet east of the original one. The elevation of 

the measuring point on the new well Is believed to be about the same as 

for the old one.

GENERAL SUMMARY 

By P. C. Ebert 

The Geological Survey Continued Its program during 1937 of measuring

, y the depth of water levels at selected wells3 ; It maintained a water-stage 

recorder on well 42a at Baldwin Park, In' the upper San Gabrter Valley, and 

made two or more measurements during the year in 10 wells In the Tapper San 

Bernardlno Basin, 8 wells In the San Jaclnto area, 23 wells In the Antelope 

Valley, and 47 wells in San Diego County, In the Mojave River Valley 44 

wells were measured once and" 42 weirs were measured twice during the year. 

Five new wells were selected In Antelope Valley for regular observation 

In addition to the 18 wells previously reported. No measurements were 

made In the south coastal basins by the Geological Survey because observation wells In these areas are included In measurements made at frequent 

intervals by other public agencies.

Systematic measurements of the depth 6"f water levels in various

2/ , .,.., ,. 

areas, as indicated, were continued during 1937 by the following agerferles'r

The California Water & Telephone Co. In San Diego County; City of Los 

Angeles Department of Water and Power In Bouquet Canyon, Haiwee Valley, 

Owens Valley,' and Mono Basin; Ventura County Water Survey In Ventura County 

and In upper Santa Clara River Basin, Los Angeles County; City of Santt 

Barbara in Santa Ynez Basin, Santa Barbara County; Midland County Gas & 

Electric Co. In Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County; county surveyor 

of Monterey bounty In Salinas Valley; Santa Clara Valley Water Conservation 

District In Santa Clara Valley, Santa Clara County; the State engineer in 

Sacramento Valley and in Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Kern Counties 

in the San Joaquin Valley;

In the south coastal basins the Department of Publio Works,' Division 

of Water Resources, assembled the measurements of depth to water level made 

during the year by various Interested parties in these basins and published 

Bulletin 39-E, Records of ground-water levels at wells for the year 1936. 

Water-stage recorders are operated at some wells In these basins.

In addition to the wells reported on pages 6 and 7 of Water-Supply 

Paper 817 the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power made 

measurements twice monthly at 7 wells in the San Pranclsquito area and

I/ Water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in the 

United States In 1936: U. s. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 817, pp.

once monthly at 24 wells In Chalfant Valley. Three of the wells in Chalfant Valley are equipped with water-stage recorders. Measurements have 

been made at about 300 wells in Putah Creek drainage basin since 1931 by 

the University of California under the direction of Prof. P. J. Veihmeyer. 

In the Cache Creek drainage basin observations are being made at representative wells by the county agent of Yolo County.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Precipitation in southern California during 1936-37 was above normal. 

For the season July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, precipitation at Los Angeles 

was 22.41 inches, which is 7.29 inches above the 60-year average of 15.12. 

At San Bernardino the rainfall was 32.7 inches. This is about twice the 

66-year average of 16.2 inches and is the second largest on record, being 

exceeded only by that of 1883-84 when 37.5 inches was recorded. Seasonal 

precipitation at Irvine Ranch, near Tustin, in Orange County, was 23.56 

inches. The 60-year average for this area is 12.09 inches.

San Gabriel River Basin

5/ 

Well 42a at Baldwin Park showed a rise in water level of 35.46 feet

from a mean daily altitude of 266.98 feet on Dec. 13-15, 1936, to an altitude of 302.44 feet on June 14, 1937. During the pumping season the water 

level dropped 14.7 feet to an altitude of 287.74 feet on Dec, 28. This 

gives a net increase in water-level elevation of 20.76 feet. The general 

trend of the water level in this area was upward from the beginning of the 

record (well 42, Water-Supply Paper 817) in 1904 to 1907, then slowly downward until 1913. With precipitation at Lcs Angeles 8.6 inches above normal 

for the season 1913-14, there was a sharp rise in this well of 28.9 feet 

during 1913-14. Excess precipitation of 2.00 inches in 1914-15 and 4.87 

inches in 1915-16 maintained this high water level at an average altitude 

of about 320 feet during 1915 and raised it to a record peak altitude of 

329.1 feet on May 19, 1916. From then until 1921 the water level dropped 

steadily except for seasonal variations owing to subnormal rainfall. A 

rainfall in 1921-22 4.6 inches above normal caused a record annual discharge of 410,000 acre-feet for the San Gabriel River and resulted in a 

rise in ground-water level of 28.9 feet. The trend was downward from 1922 

to 1931-32 except for the year 1927, when the downward trend was temporarily 

reversed by a recovery in the water level of 20.1 feet. Since the low 

point of 257.0 feet reached in December 1931, the general trend has been

3/ Ebert, F. C., Am. Geophya. Union Trans. 1936, p. 372.
CALIFORNIA 25

upward. In 1932-33, 1933-34, and 1935-36, with subnormal rainfall, the 

water level showed a net drop of about 5 feet each year; but rises of 

19.7 feet in 1931*-32, 25.8 feet in 1934-35, and 35.46 feet in 1936-37 have 

been more than sufficient to offset the drop of the three intervening 

years so that on Dec. 31, 1937, the water level stood 30.76 feet above the 

record low point reached in 1931 and 41.34 feet below the record high 

point of 1916.

Regulation of the San Gabriel River by Morris Dam, which was completed in May 1934, may have some effect on the natural seasonal fluctuations of the water level in this basin.

San Bernardino Basin

i/ The Williams well showed a rise of 44.98 feet from a measured depth

to water of 59.48 feet on Oct. 24, 1936, to 14.50 feet on May 1, 1937. 

The water level then dropped to a depth of 36.42 feet on Dec. 11 and 18, 

making the net rise during the year 23.06 feet. This is the largest total 

and net rise since this well has been measured. The low point of Oct. 24, 

1936, was the lowest point on record. In 1892-93 the water stood at the 

top of the casing. Prom 1893 to December 1904 the water level dropped 

steadily except for seasonal rises in 1900-1901 and 1903-4. The trend 

was then upward until 1911, downward to 1913, with a sharp rise in 1913-14. 

In 1923 the water level started a general downward trend reaching the 

record low point in December 1936.

Other wells in this basin showed a mean rise of 5.5 feet from August 

1936 to September 1937. The water levels in all of the wells measured 

were highecr in 1937 than in 1936.

South Coastal Plain

5/ 

Well 41b in the coastal plain of southern California indicates but

a slight gain in water level for this area, even though the rainfall was 

almost twice normal and the highest since 1883-84. ' The trend has been 

generally downward since 1917 until this year, when the decline was halted. 

The water level stood at an altitude of 10.9 feet on Dec. 24, 1936, and at 

12.7 feet on Dec. 23, 1937. The low point in 1936 was 8.1 feet, whereas 

in 1937 the low point was 8.8 feet.

San Jacinto Valley 

6/ 

Well 72c at Perris, Calif, indicates a net gain of about 0.8 foot

in water level. Other wells in this area showed a mean rise in water 

level of 2.6 feet from August 1936 to September 1937. At Lakeview and 

Garrigan, west of Hemet, the water level continued to drop.

26 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

 ^ y A-^ ^

Mojave BAyer Valley

The water level in this region showed a general rise during 1937 

except at a few observation wells farthest from the Mojave River. The 

fall measurements at wells ip the bottom lands near Hesperia crossing 

;indJLcate a rise of about 7 feet. The water level on ths mesa atove 

Victorville, both in the area adjacent to the river bottom lands and 

lands lying farther out, waa higher in November than at any time since 

1930. Along the Mojave River from Victorville to Hodge, the measurements showed only the seasonal fluctuations, the general altitude of the 

water level being about the same aa it was in 1936. In the Hinckley 

area the water level between Mojave River and Hinckley ahowea a general 

riae, whereas in the wells beyond Hinckley there was a slight drop. The 

water level in the Baratow area showed a rise during the year at all of 

the observation wells. In the lower Mojave area there was a rise in water 

level of 17 feet in the bottom lands near Daggett, but outlying wells 

showed no change.

Antelope Valley

All obaervation wells in the Antelope ,Valley showed an average drop 

in water level of about 4 feet during the year. These wells may have 

recovered somewhat since the November measurements, as the pumping had 

stopped only a short time before the November measurements were made.

Ventura County

During 1937, according to R. H, Jamison, engineer in charge of 

Ventura County Water Survey, Inhere was a rise of the ground-water level 

in all areas except Simi and Loa Posas Valleys, In the Ojai Valley 

region the water level showed an exceptional rise of as much as 35 feet 

in some wells.

Santa Ynez Valley

Net gain in height of water levels averaged about 2^- feet in wells 

measured in the Santa Ynez Valley by the city of Santa Barbara, the first 

upward trend since 1930.

Salinas Valley

According to H. P. Cozzena, county surveyor of Monterey County, 

measurements made during the spring and fall of 1937 showed very little 

change in altitude of water levels from corresponding levels of 1936.

Santa Clara Valley

The following record was furnished by G. W. Hunt, district engineer 

of Santa Clara Valley Water Conservation District:
CALIFORNIA 27

The Santa Clara -Valley Water Conservation District has been divided 

Into three areas the former artesian area, the percolation area, and the 

remainder of the district, which Includes 62 percent of the total area 

covered by the district. In November 1937 the water level in the former 

artesian area was 6 feet higher than on the same date the preceding year. 

In the percolation area It was 24 feet higher than the preceding year, 

and in the remainder of the district it was 16 feet higher than on the 

same date in 1936.

Putah Creek area

Water levels as reported by C. N. Johnston, assistant irrigation 

engineer, University of California, were 10 feet higher In parts of this 

area In the spring of 1937 than they were in the spring of 1936. The area 

southeast of the town of Dlxon showed the greatest recovery over the previous year. The Dlxon area is subject to a heavy pumping draught which 

has lowered the water level 25 feet or more below Its level of 1912. 

Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys

A. D. Edmonston, deputy state engineer, furnished the following 

information; Well measurements in the fall and early winter of 1957 

indicated that in the upper Sacramento Valley, just south of Red Bluff, 

water levels rose from very small amounts to as much as 4 feet and that 

In the vicinity of Sacramento and southward to the delta they were about 

the same as in the fall of 1936. In the upper San Joaquin Valley from 

Madera County southward there was a lowering of the water table in those 

areas in which there are no streams or only small streams for replenishment, and there was a slight rise in the water table in areas recharged 

by the major streams.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

On the following pages are given the descriptions and records for 

the year 1937 for well 42a, on which a recorder has been maintained, and 

for wells 41a, 72c, and the Williams well. Records for these four wells 

previous to 1937 were published in Water-Supply Paper 817. In addition, 

the complete record for well 41b is being included. This well Is 7 feet 

north of well 41 described In Water-Supply Paper 817 (formerly J. B. Neff 

well), which this well replsces.

Well descriptions and measurements for the observation wells In San 

Diego County are given. Observations on the water levels in wells In this 

region were begun in 1912 by Arthur J. Ellis and Charles H. Lee. The data
28 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

for several of these wella were published in Water-Supply Papers 446 and 

468. In the present report the complete basic data are given since the 

beginning of the record for all wells that are still being measured, ua 

unless such data were given in Water-Supply Paper 817, and for wells 

that have been destroyed if companion wells have been obtained. The 

numbers correspond to those in Water-Supply Paper 446. Data for several 

new wells are also included.

MOKELUMNE AREA 

By Arthur M. Piper

During 1937 the program of water-level measurements in the Mokelurane

area, Calif., by the East Bay Municipal Utility District and the Pacific

-I/ 

Gas & Electric Co. was somewhat curtailed, especially by the latter agency.

Thus in the 24 observation wells heretofore selected to represent the area, 

578 water-level measurements were made in 1936 and 368 measurements were 

made in 1937. Two wells whose records appear in Water-Supply Papers 777 

and 817, 363F1 and 368P1, were measured infrequently in 1937 and have been 

discontinued as representative observation wells. In two substitute wells, 

363L3 and 3617A1, a total of 57 water-level measurements were made in 1937.

The Mokelumne area lies on the extensive alluvial plain of central 

California, between the foothills of the Sierra Nevada on the east and the 

so-called "Delta" of tne Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers on the west. 

In the area, about 50,000 acres are irrigated from wells and from 80,000 

to 115,000 acre-feet of ground water are withdrawn each year. The fluctuations of the pressure head or static level of the ground water in the

2/

area have been ascribed to: (l) moving or changing load on the land surface (for example, railroad trains or trucks); (2) seismic disturbances 

or earthquakes; (3) variation of barometric pressure; (4) ground-water 

draft by vegetation; (5) infiltration of rain and certain indirect effects 

of rainfall; (6) infiltration of water applied to the land for irrigation; 

(7) variation in the discharge of streams; and (8) pumping from wells. Of 

these, the first three agencies are extraneous forces which cause the 

ground-water level to fluctuate momentarily or through periods of a few 

hours or days. On the other hand, each remaining force or agency may cause 

cyclic fluctuations whose periods range from hours to years but at the same 

time may tend to depress or to raise the ground-water level steadily over 

a relatively long term. Evaporation appears not to affect the ground-water 

level over most of the Mokelumne area, although commonly it causes relatively large fluctuations in other areas where the water table is shallow. 

Fluctuations whose cycles cover a term of years are common; usually they 

are the net result of several forces whose individual effects can not be 

discriminated.

United States in 1936: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 817, pp. 

17-22, 1937.

U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 780, in press.
44 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

The 24 selected observation wells represent a subarea that receives 

percolation from the Mokelumne River, whose discharge ordinarily Is 

regulated at the Pardee Dam, several miles upstream. Within that subarea, the ground-water level depends primarily upon (l) the infiltration 

of rain and water applied to the land for irrigation; (2) seepage loss 

from the river; and (5) withdrawal from wells, which tends to vary 

inversely with the rainfall. Ordinarily the ground-water level is 

highest in December or January and is lowest in July, at the height of 

the pumping season.

Prom 1926 through 1933, the ground-water level in the subarea trended s/ steadily-downward} the decline for the 7 years was about 5 feet. In that 

period, both rainfall and stream flow were deficient, and the withdrawal 

from wells increased. The following table of the average ground-water 

level from 1933 to 1937 indicates that the trend has been upward since 

1934. In this period, rainfall and stream flow have incressed, and groundwater withdrawal has probably decreased. The recent trends in each of 

these three variables would tend to cause the ground-water level to rise.

The following corrections should be made in Water-Supply Paper 817, 

pp. 18-22.

CONNECTICUT 

By W. H. Brothwell and R. M. Logie

A study of ground water in Connecticut was started in October 1934 

as a Federal Emergency Relief Administration project, sponsored by the 

State Planning Board and the State Water Commission, with technical direction by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. 

The study is continued under the sponsorship of the State Water Commission, 

with the technical direction of the Geological Survey, as a project of the 

Works Progress Administration.

A program of water-level measurements was started in the Hartford, 

Torrington, and Bridgeport areas in October 1934, and also in several towns 

in the coastal area in 1935. Other observation wells have been added in 

towns of the coastal area and also in the Norfolk-Colebrook area, as the 

inventory of wells and springs progressed. Observations were made over 

various periods in 109 wells that have been dropped. Several wells have 

been added to the program since November 1, 1937. On February 15, 1938, 

358 wells were being observed, 186 of these are in the coastal area and 

172 in the northern part of the State.

All the wells being observed are privately owned and have been made 

available for periodic measurements through the courtesy of the owners. 

No water is withdrawn from most of the wells. Most of these are dug wells 

of less than 30 feet depth, although some exceed this depth, and a few are 

drilled. Most of the wells tap water-bearing till or stratified drift. 

A few draw all or part of their supply from the bedrock, the Triassic sandstones and shales of the central lowland, or the crystalline rock of the 

eastern and western uplands.

The wells form "loops" and are measured periodically by conveniently 

located observers. The measurements were made generally once a week until 

about November 1, 1937, and once every two weeks sine* then. Daily measurements were made on several conveniently located wells. Wherever practicable, measurements are made with a steel tape by the "wetted tape" method.

Measuring points have been chosen for permanence insofar as possible. 

Sharp points at or near the surface, sharp edges of masonry curbings, edges 

of bucket shelves, and top edges of casings of various types are commonly 

selected. These measuring points are changed only when changes in upper 

structures of the well make it necessary.

CONNECTICUT 51

Reference benchmarks have been established at all the observation 

wells in the Bridgeport area and at most of the observation wells in the 

northern part of the State. Reports on the measurements for all the 

wells are in preparation by the United States Works Progress Administration and will be published in mimeographed form.
FLORIDA

By V. T. Stringfield

Measurements of ground-irater levels In Florida prior to 1937, most of 

which were made as part of the cooperative ground-water investigation by 

the Florida Geological Survey, Herman Gunter, State geologist, and the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, are given on 

pages 40 to 41 of Water-Supply Paper 777 and pages 32 to 34 of WaterSupply Paper 817. Measurements were made during 1937 by D. S. Wallace, 

district engineer, or his assistants, of the pressure head of an artesian 

well and the water level in a sinkhole or natural well in Marion County. 

A few observations were made in other parts of the State during 1937, but 

these will be included in other reports.

Marion County

The Sharpes Ferry well is designated as Marion County 5 in United 

States Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 773-C. It is on the east 

side of the Oklawaha River on the north side of the road that crosses 

the river at Sharpes Ferry, about 8 miles east of Ocala, in sec. 11, 

T. 15 S., R. 23 E. It is a 6-inch well drilled by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, to a depth of 135 feet and cased throughout. The 

measuring point is the top of the 6-inch casing, 42.53 feet above mean 

sea level and about 3 feet above the ground surface at the well. The 

well yields artesian water from the Ocala limestone of Eocene age.

As mentioned on page 33 of Water-Supply Paper 817, the fluctuation 

of the pressure head in this well is somewhat similar to the fluctuation 

of the water level in Blue Grotto at Bellview, about 8 miles southwest, 

which is described and for which measurements are given on one of the 

following pages. This similarity is to be expected because the Blue 

Grotto apparently extends in depth to the Ocala limestone.

As indicated on page 33 of Water-Supply Paper 817, the artesian 

pressure shows also a close relationship to the rainfall, being highest 

during and after periods of relatively heavy rains. The maximum observed range of pressure in the 5-year period 1933-38 was 8 feet and 

occurred during 1933. These fluctuations are shown in figure 3.

54 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

It Is significant that the water pressure In the artesian well correlates closely with the water level and discharge of Sliver River which Is 

formed by Sliver Springs, about 4 miles northwest of the well near a recharge area of the Ocala limestone. A rating curve based on the artesian 

pressure of the well and the discharge of the spring correlates with a 

curve based on water level and discharge of the spring. It Is unique 

that the pressure of an artesian well Indicates the approximate yield of 

a spring several miles away. The observed range of artesian pressure 

from about 3 to 11 feet with reference to the measuring point at the well 

Indicates that at times when the pressure measurements were made the approximate discharge of Sliver River ranged from about 600 to 1,150 

second-feet.

Blue Grotto sinkhole

Blue Grotto sinkhole, at Bellvlew, Is the source of Bellvlew public 

water supply. A description of 5&J feet of the geologic section exposed 

In the wall of the dink Is given on page 289 of the 2d Annual Report of 

the Florida Geological Survey. The measuring point Is zero of a staff 

gage, 43.43 feet above mean sea level, and about 80 feet below the land 

surface. (See Water-Supply Paper 817, p. 30, for measurements made In 

1936.)

HAWAII

By H. T. Stearns 

Island of Oahu

During 1937 the Geological Survey made 236 monthly measurements of 

the water level in 20 wells on the island of Oahu. The Honolulu Board of 

Water Supply made 222 measurements on 118 wells, of which 107 were measured more than once, and the Board maintained automatic water-stage recorders 

on 10 wells. Chloride data are included herein from 1935 to date because 

in the wells in the Hawaiian Islands chloride is a direct measure of contamination by sea water. The determinations were made in the Honolulu 

laboratory of the Geological Survey. The Honolulu Board of Water Supply 

pumped 5,955,000,000 gallons in 1937.

The water level was higher in all of the 12 artesian areas at the end 

of the year than at the beginning because 1937 was a wet year. The following table, which is essentially a continuation of the table on page 35 of 

Water-Supply Paper 817, indicates that there was a huge gain in groundwater storage in all areas except no. 11, which was pumped by Ewa Plantation Co. When these gains are added to those of 1936 the result is very 

significant, especially for the areas pumped by the Honolulu Board of 

Water Supply and the sugar plantations around Pearl Harbor.

Salinity records have been added because in Hawaii contamination by 

sea water may take place when excessive pumping occurs. The fresh water

floats upon the salt water because it has less specific gravity. AccordI/

ing to the Ghyben-Herzberg principle, for each foot the water in a well

declines salt water rises 42 feet under the well. The abbreviation p.p.m. 

in the following records indicates parts of chloride per million parts of 

water. The quantity in grains of sodium chloride (NaCl) may be computed 

by dividing the amounts of chloride by 10.39. Salinity records for 1935 

and 1936 are given here also in order to complete the data published in 

Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817.

HAWAII 59

Measurements of the water level in the Maui-type well at Schofield 

Barracks are now available. This well, which was started on March 1936 

and is now nearly complete, is at an altitude of 850 feet on the divide 

between artesian areas 6 and 7. It consists of a 7.5- by 7.5-foot 30° 

incline shaft 1,167 feet long which penetrates 165 feet of soil and then 

Koolau basalt. Three wells have been drilled in the pump chamber at the 

bottom of the shaft, and these are equipped with deep-well turbines that 

connect with three horizontal centrifugal pumps. Water was encountered 

at an altitude of 276.9 feet on August 14, 1936. As this is too high for 

the basal water table, this water may be confined between dikes. The water 

rose steadily from August 1936 until September 1937 as shown in the table 

below. A diamond-drill hole in the pump chamber reached a depth of 21 feet 

below sea level without encountering anything but saturated Koolau basalt.

64 WATER LEVELS AMD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Island of Maui

Maul had an exceptionally good water year. The East Maui Irrigation 

Co. delivered 87,746.21 million gallons to central Maui during 1937 as 

compared with 82,976.55 million gallons in 1936. The Maui Agricultural 

Co. pumping season began about June 1 and ended about December 23. The 

Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. started pumping April 6 and and stopped 

December 28, although one pump at station 7 was run from January 17 to 

30. The Maui Agricultural Co. continued work on a Maui-type well at 

Keheka which was started in August 1936. This is a vertical shaft inland 

from Paia 548 feet deep at an altitude of 552.3 feet. It will be equipped 

with two pumps with a combined capacity of 12,500,000 gallons daily. The 

water level is about 4 feet above sea level.

Through the cooperation of Mr. H. J. Eby, pump engineer, automatic 

water-stage recorders were maintained on several wells during the nonpumping season to determine the tidal fluctuations and their time of transmission inland. The salt content on December 31, 1937, was 42 grains a 

gallon at Lower Paia well, 20.1 grains at well 7,and 18.2 grains at well 12.

The Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. is constructing a new Maui-type 

well at the intersection of the Haiku Ditch and the Haleakala Highway to 

replace a well nearer the coast.

The data in the following table were furnished by J. H. Poss, R. E. 

Hughes, and C. A. Brown.

Island of Lanal

Mr. James Munro, plantation engineer, Lanal division of Hawaiian 

Pineapple Co., reports that 103,957,842 gallons of water was pumped during 

1937 to Lanal city reservoirs and 85,195,604 gallons was used In the city. 

Of this amount 11,704,000 gallons was pumped from the new Maunalel shaft 

no. 2, which was excavated during 1937 for water at an altitude of 851 

feet In Maunalel Gulch; the remainder came from the Maunalel tunnels. 

This new shaft, which Is Inclined 30° and Is 278 feet long, encountered 

water confined In the dike complex at an altitude of 750 feet* A 20-inch 

rotary drill Is now boring at the bottom of the shaft. During 1937 about 

10,000,000 gallons of water was wasted Into the gulch from this shaft. 

Permanent pumping equipment has not yet been Installed.

Maunalel shaft nc. 1, described in Water-Supply Paper 817, was pumped 

from January 4 to 14, 1937, only, with a total pumpage of 2,888,000 gallons. 

The salt content Increased from 34 grains a gallon on September 1, 1936, 

when water was first encountered, to 41.8 grains a gallon when the pumps 

were shut down on January 14, 1937. Shaft no. 2 will replace shaft no. 1. 

Fluctuations of about 0.02 foot in water level occur in shaft no. 1 twice 

dally owing to changes in barometric pressure. An automatic recorder was 

maintained for several weeks in this shaft. The following measurements 

were made in 1937.

Island of Hawaii

A new Maul-type well was completed in 1937 by the Kaiwlkl Sugar Co. 

pt an altitude of 300 feet at Ookala, on the northeast slope of Mauna Kea, 

under the direction of W. 0. Clark, geologist. The shaft is 6 feet wide, 

6-| feet high, and about 600 feet long and is on a 30° incline. It was 

started in January and completed in August 1936 and penetrates solid 

Mauna Kea lavas. At the bottom is a horizontal infiltration tunnel 4 

feet wide, 6 feet high, and 75 feet long. Water was first encountered 

in August 1936 at an altitude of 5.4 feet with a salt content of 0,4 grain 

a gallon. After continued pumping the salt content reached a maximum of 

1.4 grains a gallon. Two duplex Dean Bros, heavy-duty double-acting 

piston-type pumps each with a capacity of 140 gallons a minute, operated 

by two Allis-Chalmers 40-horsepower, 1,200-revolution per minute, 480- 

volt 3-phase 60-cycle, high-torque induction motors, lift the water to 

outlets at altitudes of 365 feet, 480 feet, 700 feet, and 810 feet. The 

bottom of the shaft is about 2,100 feet from the ocean, and the water level 

is reported to show tidal fluctuations. The above data were furnished by 

L. W. Wishard, manager of the Kaiwiki Sugar Co.

Olaa shaft was not pumped during 1937. The water levels given below 

were made every Friday at 4:30 p.m. and were furnished by George Duncan, 

chief engineer of the Olaa Sugar Co. He kindly maintained a Geological 

Survey recorder on this well sufficiently long to establish the fact that 

the v.ater level rose and fell twice daily owing to changes in barometric 

pressure. The water level reached 20.86 feet on March 22, 1937, the highest stage ever recorded. The water level stood from 3 to 5 feet higher 

during the summer of 1937 than during the summer of 1936.

Island of Kauai

This is the first year that water-level measurements for Kauai have 

been included in the annual water-level report. The island has a maximum 

altitude of 5,170 feet and is a deeply eroded basaltic volcano with a plain 

of later unconformable lavas skirting its northeast, east and south sides. 

The Walaleale rain gage near the summit shows a rainfall in excess of 600 

inches in some years and a 26-year mean of 456 inches. The south and 

southwest coasts are semiarid. The geology and ground-water resources have 

not yet been studied in detail by the Geological Survey. Wells 2 to 8 are 

near the east coast, well 14 near the southeast coast, and wells 35 to 56 

on an emerged low reef-limestone plain along the southwest coast. Most of 

the wells flow.

INDIANA

By V. T. Strlngfield and M. M. PIdlar

Ground water Is one of the most valuable natural resources of 

Indiana. According to data compiled In. 1936 by the Bureau of Sanitary 

Engineering, Division of Chemistry, Indiana Public Health Division, 

ground water is the source of 241 of the 291 municipal water supplies ir 

Indiana. Three of the other supplies use part ground water. The importance of ground water in the State was recognized early by the Federal 

Geological Survey and the State Geological Survey, as shown by the following reports: United States Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 21, 

Wells of northern Indiana, 1899; Water-Supply Paper 26, Wells of souther 

Indiana, 1899; Water-Supply Paper 254, 1910, Underground water of northcentral Indiana; and the 18th Annual Report, Part IV, 1897, Water resources of Indiana and Ohio; and the 26th Annual Report of Indiana Department of Geology and Natural Resources, 1901, Mineral water of 

Indiana. One of the more recent reports of the Indiana Department of 

Conservation, Division of Geology Publication No. 133, 1935, Ground 

water in Indiana is a rather complete compilation of published data 

on ground water in Indiana.

The present report on ground water levels is based on a program of 

periodic measurements of water levels in wells, started during the 

summer of 1935 as a cooperative program between the Division of Geology 

of the Indiana Department of Conservation, W. N. Logan, State geologist 

and the Federal Geological Survey, 0. E. Meinzer, geologist in charge 

of the division of ground water. Mr. Logan retired in 1936 and since 

that time the State work has been under the direction of his successor, 

Ralph E. Esarey. The work in 1935 covering the north half of the 

State was organized and coordinated by R. C. Cady, of the Federal 

Survey, and the late J. P. Kerr. assistant State geologist. A report 

by Cady _!/ briefly describes the work.

In 1936 the program was extended to cover the entire State and 

was coordinated by M. M. Fidlar, assistant State geologist, W. H. Cordell,

of the State Survey, and V. T. Stringfield, of the Federal Survey. It 

is briefly described in a report by Stringfield 2/ which includes 

measurements made during 1935 and 1936 in wells in the northern part of 

Indiana. These wells are indicated by an asterisk on the following 

pages.

One of tne objects of this work is to select representative water 

wells in the various water-bearing formations in different parts of 

the State and to obtain measurements of the water levels in them at 

regular intervals to indicate the changes in the water levels in the 

underground reservoirs of water. As indicated by Meinzer, Zj "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 the 

wells and springs and to maintain the flow of the streams during periods of fair weather. The water levels in wells register the stages of 

these natural reservoirs; they show to what extent the water supplies 

are depleted by drought or by heavy pumping for public waterworks, 

irrigation, or industrial uses and to wriat extent they are replenished 

in seasons of abundant rainfall. The pressures recorded on flowing 

wells also indicate the extent of depletion or replenishment of the 

artesian reservoirs."

In 1937 the work was coordinated by the writers, and during December of that year an automatic water-level recorder was installed on 

well 4 in Karion County, near Indianapolis.

Most of the measurements were made by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Division of State Parks, and municipal water departments. Daily measurements on well 1 in Marion County were made by 

the Indianapolis Water Co. Measurements on wells 2, 3, and 4 in'Marion 

County were made by M. M. Pidlar and G. P. Fix, of the State Survey.

Acknowledgment is due all of the observers and officials in 

charge of observation wells who have cooperated in this work and made 

its progress possible. An attempt has been made to give credit to 

each observer in the following pages, but in some instances it was not 

feasible to do so, and the official or the organisation in charge was

credited. Thanks are due Mr. C. R. Merrick, of the Layne Northern Co., 

Inc., who supplied an observation well on which the automatic waterlevel recorder has been installed.

During 1937 water-level measurements were made at intervals in 75 

wells in 37 counties fairly well distributed over the State (see fig. 4). 

Most of these wells represent shallow water-table conditions in glacial drift and are less than 50 feet deep. Some of them are somewhat 

deeper and penetrate consolidated rocks, a few are artesian, and a part 

of them represent areas affected by withdrawal of ground vreiter by 

pumpage.

The records extending back to 1935 indicate that some of the water 

levels were slightly higher at the close of 1937 than at the beginning 

of 1935.

During a rainy season in which the streams of the State were at 

flood stage, measurements of water levels as of January 15, 1937, in 

19 shallow observation wells located in 12 counties in southern Indiana 

indicate that the ground-water levels were somewhat higher than in December 1936. This increase ranged from a fraction of a foot to slightly 

more than 9 feet. The rise in the water levels exceeded 8 feet in 3 of 

the wells and ranged from 1 to 6 feet in 10 of the wells. It was less 

than 1 foot in 6 of the wells. During this period in the central part 

of Indiana the rise in water level ranged from 2 to 13 feet in 10 

shallow wells located in 5 counties. The rise in 3 of the wells exceeded 

7 feet. The water levels in a part of these wells were somewhat higher 

than any shown by previous records since the observations were started 

in 1935. It appears noteworthy that the water level in well 2, which 

is 265 feet deep and penetrates rock, in Hamilton County on the White 

River, rose 7 feet within two weeks during that period when the White 

River was several feet above flood stage. The range in fluctuations in 

that well during 1936 was less than 3 feet. According to the measurements in a few wells in the northern part of Indiana the rise in the 

shallow ground water in general was less than that in the central and 

southern parts of the State.

The measurements made in wells throughout the year of 1937 indicate 

that the ground-water levels were in general somewhat lower at the end 

of the year than at the beginning.

The largest fluctuations observed were caused by pumping. The 

fluctuation in different wells unaffected by pumpage ranged from less
72 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

INDIANA 73

than 3 feet, as In well 1 in Pulton County, to more than 12 feet, as in 

well 1 in Boone County. This larger fluctuation shows typical seasonal 

changes consisting of a gradual rise of the water level during autumn 

and winter, at the end of the growing seasons for much of the vegetation, 

and a decline in spring and summer, when transpiration and evaporation 

reach a maximum. During a winter when the ground is frozen over longer 

periods, so that no recharge of the water-bearing formations occurs, the 

water levels may decline after the rise due to cessation of some of the 

transpiration and evaporation at the end of the growing season for part 

of the vegetation.

TARKIO CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By \. C. Fishel, G. A. LaRocque, and G. N. Mesnier

I/ 

The observation well program in the Tarkio Creek area was continued

in 1937 by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation 

Service through P. C. Weichmann, project manager until his death in October 

1937, and through W. J. b. Boatman, acting project manager since October. 

Sixteen wells (1-7 and 9-17) were being measured at the beginning of the 

year of which 3 (3, 4, and 9) were dropped during the year. Sixty-one 

(20-52, 54-61, and 63-82) new wells were added to the list during May and 

June , making a total of 77 wells that were measured during the year. Wells 

24, 48, 51, and 61 were dropped before the end of the year leaving a total 

of 70 wells that were being measured at the end of the year. Approximately 

2,600 measurements were made on the 77 wells during the year ending December 31, 1937. A water-stage recorder was operated continuously on well 1, 

and another recorder was operated on other wells for short peripds.

Wells 20-36 and 38-82 were bored with a 3-inch auger and cased with 

galvanized downspouting. The casing tnat extended below the water table 

was perforated. Well 37 is cased with tile. Wells 1-7, 20-24, 70-73, 77-

79. and 81 are located in the West Tarkio Creek Basin. Wells 9-17, 74-76,

80. and 82 are located in the East Tarkio Creek Basin.

The water-level measurements of the 14 wells observed last year 1, 2, 

3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 were used in computing 

average water levels, thus continuing the averages given in Water-Supply 

Paper 817. The average trend of the water levels for the period of observation ending December 31, 1937, is shown in the illustration. The data for 

the part of the illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 

1937, are given in Water-Supply Paper 817.

The water levels in this report are given in heights above assumed 

datum planes. The water levels in wells 1-17 were given an assumed height 

of 10 feet on January 1, 1935. The water levels in wells 25-37 are given 

in heights above the datum plane of well 1. The water levels in wells 38 

to 69 are referred to a benchmark located on the Nordstrom farm which was 

given an arbitrary height of 100.00 feet. As the water levels in wells 

1-17 had an average height of about 10.00 feet on September 8, 1937, the 

water levels in wells 20-24 and 70-82 were given assumed heights of 10.00 

feet on September 8. The depth to the water level on any date can be obtained by subtracting the height of the water level from the height of the

measuring point.

Figure 5.-Average height of water Iev3ls, in feet above datum, in wells 

in the Tarkio Creek area, Iowa-Mo.

The water levels declined gradually during the very dry spring and 

summer of 1934, and in September and October they stood on an average 

about 1 foot lower than in May. Moderately abundant rains in the fall 

of 1934 produced some ground-water recharge and at the end of the year 

the average of the water levels in the wells was nearly the same as in 

May, when the measurements were begun. Very little rain or snow fell 

during the 5 months from December 1, 1934, to April 30, 1935, and the 

water levels remained nearly stationary. Heavy rainfall, however, 

occurred in May and June 1935. Although in these months vegetation 

usually consumes considerable moisture that is stored in the soil and in 

the zone of saturation, the recharge was sufficient in May and June to 

cause the water levels to rise on an average about 4 feet by July 1. 

During the remainder of the growing season the precipitation was moderate, 

and the water levels declined on an average slightly more than 2 feet. 

The water levels remained nearly stationary during November and December 

1935 and declined only moderately in January 1936.

A thaw occurred in February 1936, during which time very few measurements were made because of bad roads. However, from January 28 to March 

10 the water levels rose on an average nearly 4 feet. The water levels 

then declined until April 22, when rainfall caused them to rise sharply. 

On May 12 the highest average stage in the period of record was reached 

4.50 feet higher than on January 28, 1936, and nearly 6 feet higher than 

at the beginning of observations in the spring of 1934 or on January 1,
IOWA AND MISSOURI 91

1935. The water levels then declined, with very few interruptions, for 

the remainder of 1936, which was characterized by drought. They reached 

an average stage on December 30, 1936, that was only about 0.6 foot higher 

than the average stage on January 1, 1935.

The precipitation in this area for the year 1937 was about 25 inches, 

which is about 8 inches below the average annual precipitation. As a 

result of low precipitation and freezing the water levels declined on an 

average 0.5 foot from January 1 to February 10, 1937. The precipitation 

amounted to 1.36 inches in March, 3.90 inches in April, 3.62 inches in May, 

and 3.23 inches in June. The water levels in response to this precipitation rose on an average 0.8 foot from February 10 to March 9, declined 0.26 

foot during March, and then rose 1.32 feet by June 17. They stood at the 

highest average stage of the year on June 17, which, however, was much 

lower than the highest averages in 1935 and 1936. The heavy precipitation 

during July (6.13 inches) produced recharge in the vicinity of some of the 

wells, but the greater part of the precipitation was transpired and evaporated. The precipitation from August 1 to December 31 amounted to only 

4.75 inches, and the water levels declined steadily during that period. 

On January 1, 1938, the water levels averaged 1.66 feet lower than on 

January 1, 1937; 2.37 feet lower than on January 1, 1936; and 1.07 feet 

lower than on January 1, 1935. Thus at the end of 1937 the water levels 

were about as low as the lowest stage in the severe drought of 1934.

KANSAS

South-central Kansas 

By Stanley W. Lohman

History

In July 1937 a detailed investigation was begun of the ground-water 

resources of an area in south-central Kansas, in cooperation with the 

Kansas Geological Survey and the Kansas Board of Health. The area studied 

is that underlain chiefly by the HcPherson formation, known also as the 

"Equus beds", of Pleistocene age, and includes parts of Harvey, McPherson, 

Reno, and Sedgwick Counties.

In the course of the investigation the depth to water-level was 

measured periodically in some wells and at least once in several hundred 

wella, for the purpose of constructing a water-table contour map. Altitudes of the measuring points were determined by a surveying aneroid, by 

a hand level and level rod, or, at two of the wells, by instrumental 

leveling. Descriptions and water levels of 26 of these observation wells 

are given in this report.

Five of the wells are equipped with Stevens type P 8-day recorders, 

and 21 other wells are measured monthly. All measurements prior to Dec. 3 

were made by James I. Nelson or the writer. Those on and after Dec. 4 

were made by Q, H. von Hein.

The wells are arranged alphabetically by counties and numerically 

for each county according to the original field numbers. The monthly 

measurements were made by the wetted-tape method. For the five wells 

equipped with recorders the minimum daily water levels are given. All 

water levels are given in feet below the measuring points. 

Water-level fluctuations

Of the five wells equipped with recorders, the water levels in well 

309, McPherson County, and well 12, Sedgwick County, show decided barometric effects. In addition, a very slight artesian-pumping effect from 

a well 350 feet away is noticeable in the water-level fluctuations in 

well 12. Well 26, Sedgwick County, is located in about the middle of the 

well field of the Wichita Water Co., hence the water-level fluctuations 

in this well are mainly the result of intermittent pumping in four or five 

nearby wells.

The annual deficiency in precipitation for 1937 at Wichita, Sedgwick 

County, was 4.47 inches, of which 4.09 inches was accumulated during the 

last 5 months of the year, the period during which observations of the

101
102 WATER LE.VELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

water levels began. Similarly, the annual deficiency in precipitation 

for 1937 at McPherson, McPherson County, was 7.74 inches, of which 4.20 

inches was accumulated during the last 5 months of the year. Thus the 

general trend in ground-water levels was downward, but in some' wells 

there was a net rise in water level.

Of the 16 wells not pumped and apparently not affected by nearby 

pumping, 9 wells had net declines in water level of 0.15 to 0.75 foot, 

5 wells showed net gains of 0.1 to 0.4 foot, 1 well showed a net gain 

of 1.75 feet, and 1 well showed no appreciable rise or decline. Of the 

10 wells pumped or believed to be affected by pumping in nearby wells, 

6 wells had net declines in water level of 0.2 to 2.8 feet, 1 well 

(no. 26, Sedgwick County) had a net decline of 5.15 feet, and 1 well 

showed no appreciable rise or decline. Of the entire group of 26 wells, 

16 had net declines in water level, 8 had net rises, and 2 showed no 

appreciable rise or decline.

The water level stands more than 50 feet below the land surface 

in only 3 of the 26 wells. In 2 of these the water level rose 0.3 and 

0.6 foot, and in one it declined about 0.05 foot.

Limestone Creek area of Soil Conservation Service 

By V. C. Pishel and C. H. Hardison

The observation well program in the Limestone Creek area, Jewell

I/ 

County, Kans., was continued in 1937 by the Federal Geological Survey in

cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service through R. P. Ramsey, project manager. Measurements of water level were made about weekly in 44 

wells, making a total of about 2,200 measurements during 1937. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were operated on 5 wells (22, 30, 34, 51 and 69). 

Most of the measurements were made by L. C. Buster, of the Soil Conservation Service.

Wells 2 and 10 have been discontinued as observation wells. The 

measurements of wells 64, 65, 66, 67, and 69 are included for the first 

time in this report. The measurements in 16 wells (2, 6, 8, 12, 18, 22, 

25, 28, 30, 40, 41, 42, 45, 48, 49, and 50) were used in computing the 

average water levels given in this report. The illustration gives the 

average height of the water levels above arbitrary datum planes for the 

period from August 19?4 to January 1, 1938. The data used in drawing that 

part of the illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 

1937, are given in Water-Supply Paper 817.

The precipitation in this area was considerably below normal from 

March 1934 to April 1935, and as a result the water levels in the wells 

declined persistently with minor exceptions from the time the initial 

measurements were made in March, April, or May, 1934, until the middle of 

May 1935. Heavy rains, amounting to 9.36 inches in May and 6.24 inches 

in June, caused an abrupt rise of the water levels that averaged 2.0 feet 

from May 20 to July 4. There was only 0.39 inch of rainfall in July and

practically no rain during the first half of August, which resulted in a 

gradual decline of the water levels during this period. The rainfall in 

August amounted to 7.20 inches, practically all of which fell in the last 

half of the month, and about 2 inches of rain fell in the first part of 

September. As a result of this rainfall the water levels rose an average 

of about 1.5 feet. Light rainfall during the later part of September and 

October was accompanied by an average decline of about 0.5 foot in the 

water levels. The water levels gradually rose after the end of the growing 

season although rainfall was light, and the average water level in the wells 

at the end of 1955 stood about 5.75 feet higher than at the beginning of 

the year and about 2 feet higher than in the spring of 1954, when observations were begun.

There was very little change in stage of the water levels from January 

to April 1956. A small decline occurred during April, but this decline was 

followed by a rise of about 0.3 foot that carried the water levels on May 

15 to the highest average stage observed during the period of record. The 

water levels then declined about 2.5 feet by October 1, changed only 

slightly during October, November, and December, and on December 51 stood 

2.56 feet lower than on January 1, 1936, and 1.49 feet higher than on 

January 1, 1935.

The precipitation during 1957 in this area amounted to about 20 inches, 

of which 0.82 inch occurred in January, 0.55 inch in February, and 1.67 

inches in March. The water levels had an average net rise of about 0.9 

foot by April 1. The precipitation during April and May was distributed 

so that practically no ground-water recharge occurred. Precipitation 

amounting to 4.96 inches during June resulted in an average rise of about

0.8 foot by July 1. The precipitation was about normal during July, but 

it was practically all consumed by transpiration and evaporation. The 

precipitation amounted to 1.11 inches in August, 0.97 in September, 2.05 

in October, 0.19 in November, and 0.08 in December. The water levels in 

response to the low precipitation declined from the later part of June 

until the end of the year. The decline during this period was about 1.3 

f«et.

The water level on January 1, 1938, stood at practically the same 

average level as on January 1, 1937, 2.37 feet lower than on January 1, 

1936, and 1.48 feet higher than on January 1, 1935.

Beeler Pond Wells

Thirteen wells (51 to 63) surround a pond on the L. C. Beeler farm 

northwest of Ionia. The location of each of these wells with respect to 

the pond is shown in figure 7. The water levels and the heights of the 

measuring points are expressed in relation to the z ero level of the staff 

gage, to which waa assigned an arbitrary height of 100 feet. The contours 

in the illustration are also expressed in terms of the arbitrary datum.

MARYLAND 

By M. T. Thomson

Periodic records of water levels have been made since April 18, 

1932, on one observation well in Maryland by the Federal Geological 

Survey in cooperation with the Maryland Geological Survey and the 

Maryland Department of Health. This work is under the direction of 

A. H. Horton, district engineer of the Geological Survey.

The well is an abandoned dug well lined with loose stone, at the 

rear of the residence of P. E. Valdenar, 800 feet northeast of the 

gaging station of the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River, 1% miles 

southwest of Colesville, Montgomery County. Records of water-level 

measurements from April 1932 to January 1937 are published in WaterSupply Paper 817 (pp. 80-83). A weekly water-stage recorder was maintained on this well during 1937. Measurements are given in feet above 

the same datum to which is referred the gage on the Northwest Branch 

of the Anacostia River.

MICHIGAN

By V. T. Stringfield, A. W. Bergquist, and 0. F. Poindexter 

A program of measurements of ground-water levels In Michigan was 

started in the fall of 1932, when the Geological Survey Division of the 

Michigan Department of Conservation, in cooperation with the United States 

Geological Survey, began an investigation in.Roscommon County to determine 

areas in which ground water is available at depths of 20 feet or less in 

sufficient quantity to supply wells used in fighting forest fires. This 

work was described on pages 71 to 73 of Water-Supply Paper 777 and pages 

83 to 85 of Water-Supply Paper 817. It involved the construction of 

numerous observation wells. G. I. Stewart, director of the Michigan 

Forest Fire Experiment Station at Roscommon, demonstrated through experimental tests that such work is feasible and developed much of the equipment and technique used in the program. During the fall of 1932 measurements of ground-water levels were made in four townships of Roscommon 

County by S. W. Lohman, of the Federal Geological Survey, and A. W. Bergquist, of the State Survey. Ronald Bird, of the Michigan Department of 

Conservation, made water-level observations during the winter of 1932-33.

In the spring of 1933 this cooperative work was expanded, through 

the Michigan Emergency Conservation Work, to cover a large area in the 

northern part of the southern peninsula and also part of the northern 

peninsula. The program has been continued to the present time and is 

under the technical supervision of R. A. Smith, State geologist, and 

0. E. Meinzer, of the Federal Geological Survey.

A systematic program of measuring water levels in observation 

wells was started in 1934 by 0. F. Poindexter, of the State Survey, 

A. W. Bergquist, of the Michigan Emergency Conservation Work, and V. T. 

Stringfield, of the* Federal Geological Survey. Water-level measurements 

have been made about twice each month in observation wells since the 

systematic program was started in 1934. Measurements made in 204 wells 

in 61 townships in 13 counties are arranged according to counties and 

townships on the following pages. The general location of these areas 

is shown in figure 8. A few of these water-level measurements were 

made by the writers; however, most of them were made by the personnel 

of the Michigan Emergency Conservation Work under the direct supervision 

of Mr. Bergquist. All of the wells are about 5 to 20 feet deep In 

glacial drift ir areas unaffected by pumping. They are about 8 inches

Figure 9.-Graph showing highest and lowest water levels 

each month in well 1, sec. 17, T. 24 N., R. 2 W. near 

Roscommon, Mich.

In diameter except four wells In Ogenaw County and an 8-inch well near 

Roscommon In Roscommon County. A continuous water-stage recorder has 

been In operation on the 8-inch well since its construction for that use 

in November 1934. A few of the wells are artesian.

Measurements of the water level made once each week during 1937 and 

a graph (see fig. 9 ) representing the highest and lowest water levels 

in the Roscommon recorder well each month from November 1934 through 

1937 are included in this report. A record of the highest and lowest 

levels each month up to 1937 is published on page 85 of Water-Supply 

Paper 817. The continuous records of the water level recorded in 

natural scale are filed in the office of the Geological Survey Division 

of the Michigan Department of Conservation, Lansing, and the office of 

the Federal Geological Survey in Washington, D. C.

As indicated on page 84 of Water-Supply Paper 817, on November 5, 

1934, when the recorder was installed, the water level was 8 feet below 

the top of the casing and about 5.5 feet below the surface of the ground. 

The water level rose gradually until about the middle of December, when 

it stood about 4.6 feet below the surface. Prom December 1934 to early 

March 1935 the ground was frozen, so that little or no recharge to the 

water-bearing sand took place, and thus the water level slowly declined 

to 5.17 feet below the surface. Prom March 5 to 27 the water level rose 

1.3 feet, apparently because the thawing of the ground permitted water 

to percolate downward to the water-bearing sand. On March 27 the water 

level stood about 3.9 feet below the surface, the highest stage in 1935.
124 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

It declined gradually until late September, when a stage of about 5.8 

feet below the surface was reached. Prom that time to February 15, 1936, 

the water level fluctuated very little, ranging only from 5.65 to 5.8 

feet below the surface. On May 15 the water level was 4.4 feet below the 

land surface, its highest /stage in 1936, and from that time it declined 

until about September 1, when it stood about 6 feet below the surface. 

The water level on December 25, 1936, stood about 0.26 foot higher than 

on December 18, 1935, and 0.60 foot lower than on December 31, 1934. 

During 1937 there was a general upward trend of the water level with a 

net rise of slightly more than one-half of a foot. The gradual spring 

rise so apparent in 1935 and 1936 was less apparent in 1937. However, 

in February 1937 a rise of a few days duration brought the watar level 

up to ita highest stage for the 3-year period, but it declined rapidly.

In the records of the water level in the well on which the recorder 

is installed fluctuations caused by temperature changes which resulted 

in freezing the ground or thawing the snow and ice during the winter and 

transpiration from plants during certain parts of the growing seasons 

are apparent. The effects of the changes of atmospheric pressure are 

also reflected during periods when the ground was frozen. One of the 

more apparent of these fluctuations due to atmospheric change was 0.05 

foot during the period from 6 a.m., January 17, 1935, to noon January 18, 

1935, when the change in atmospheric pressure was equivalent fco about 

0.9 of a foot of water. One of the more apparent changes in water level 

due to temperature change permitting a recharge by thawing of the ground 

was during the period March 5 to 25, 1935, when the water level rose 1.3 

feet. A more rapid change, as mentioned above, was from February 20 to 

22, 1937, when the water level rose about 1.6 feet. The lowering of the 

water level in the three-year period due to transpiration was most evident during June, July, and August, when declines of as much as 0.02 

fo.ot each afternoon or about 0.14 foot each week appeared.

Although there are numerous variations in the water-level fluctuations In other parts of the area, the water-level fluctuations in the 

recorder well appear to represent the general trend.

In the following records the top of casing is the measuring point, 

and its altitude is given in feet above sea level. The height is in 

feet above the land surface. The depth to water is in feet below 

measuring point.

MONTANA

Plathead Valley between Plathead Lake and Kalispell 

By R. C. Cady

The investigation of the ground-water levels in the valley and delta 

area between Flathead Lake and Kalispell was continued through 1937, 16 

readings of the water levels having been added to the 122 that had been 

collected since July 1928. Average monthly water levels and a comparison 

of the 1937 levels with those of 1936 and 1929 are given below. Average 

levels of 1937 are not only lower than those of 1929 and 1936 but are the 

lowest since the beginning of the record.

Average monthlv water levels, in feet, in observation 

wells in Plathead Valley, and comparisons with 1929 and 1936

(The average for each month waa computed from the first series of 

measurements made in that month and indicates height, in feet, above an 

arbitrary datum; 2,800 must be added to convert these averages to altitude above sea level.)

186 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

In the course of a study of the water-level records of wells In the 

Plathead Valley several errors were discovered, the corrections of which 

are listed herewith. The altitudes of the measuring points of wells 22, 

33, and 47 failed to check In a resurvey carried out In 1937 (see p. 75 

and 76, Water-Supply Paper 777). The discrepancies ranged from 0.20 to 

1.07 feet. The corrected altitudes are as follows: Well 22: 2,904.55 

feet; well 33: 2,898.36 feet; well 47: 2,879.80 feet. These corrected 

altitudes were used In computing the water levels In 1937, but the following correction factors must be applied to the water levels from the 

beginning of the record to the end of 1936: Well 22, -1.07 feet; well 33, 

-0.27 foot; well 47, -0.20 foot. The water levels in well 45 prior to 

October 24, 1932, are given 2 feet higher than the correct levels (WaterSupply Paper 777, pp. 83 and 84).

The. published water levels of well 34 from the beginning of the 

record to May 30, 1933, are 0.25 foot too high. The altitude of the 

measuring point is Incorrectly listed on page 76 of Water-Supply Paper 

777.

Some of the average monthly water levels for 1936 as given on page 

86 of Water-Supply Paper 817 differ slightly from the averages given on 

pages 87 and 88, which are comparable with the averages for 1928-35.

The published water levels in all wells on January 26, 1931, and 

January 26, 1932, are Identical. Apparently the water levels given for 

January 26, 1932, are actually those for the same date in 1931 and hence 

should be deleted.

The following are corrected water levels:

By Leland K. Wenzel

The State-wide program of water-level measurements in wells in Nebraska 

was continued in 1937 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. Of 

about 400 wella under observation at the end of the year about 40 were 

incorporated into the program in 1937 in conjunction with the investigation 

of the geology and ground-water resources of Scotts Bluff County. In 1937 

an average of four measurements per well was made on 360 wells, and an 

average of 24 measurements per well was made on the 40 wells in Scotts 

Bluff County, making a total of about 2,400 individual measurements. Three 

automatic water-level recorders were operated on wells in Scotts Bluff 

County during the later part of 1937.

The average precipitation in Nebraska for 1937 was about 22 percent 

below normal, the seventh consecutive year of subnormal precipitation in 

the State. As a result the water levels in most of the observation wells 

declined below their corresponding stages of 1936. In 1937 the water levels 

in many wella reached their lowest stages since observations were begun in 

1934, but the low stages were not generally far below the previous low 

stages of 1934 or 1936. In general, the water levels declined in all parts 

of the State except the northeast, where in many of the wella they recovered somewhat from their low stages of 1936.

The following tables summarize water-level fluctuations in 167 observation wells distributed throughout the State. The first table gives the 

average of the highest observed levels and the average of the lowest observed levels in the period 1934-37, and average water levels in the falls of 

1934, 1935, 1936, and 1937. In all six sections of the State the average 

fall stage was lower in 1937 than in 1934, and with the exception of northeastern Nebraska the average stage in the fall of 1937 was the lowest of 

the period of observation. The highest fall stage for all sections of the 

State except the northeastern was recorded in 1935, at the end of a year of 

about normal precipitation. The averages of the highest and lowest observed 

levels in the State were 101.56 feet and 98.91 feet, above the assumed datum 

planes. The assumed datum for each well is 100 feet below the water level 

in that well on January 1, 1935. Thus the average of the highest observed 

levels from 1934 to 1937 was about as much above the average stage of 

January 1, 1935 as the average of the lowest observed levels was below it.

The second table gives the average of the maximum fluctuations from 

1934 to 1937 and the annual average net changes in water level. The term 

"maximum fluctuation" of a well In a given period is used to denote the 

difference between the lowest and. highest observed water level in that 

well during the period. The largest fluctuations occurred In the northeast and southeast sections of the State, and the smallest fluctuations 

occurred In the south-central and southwest sections. The average of the 

maximum fluctuations in the 167 wells during the period 1934-37 was 2.65 

feet. If it Is assumed that this average represents the average fluctuation of the water table and that the specific yield of the formations of 

Nebraska average 15 percent that Is, that each cubic foot of material 

will yield 0.15 cubic foot of water then the records Indicate a fluctuation In ground-water storage In the State of about 20,000,000 acre-feet.

The average of the net declines In water levels from the fall of 1934 

to the fall of 1937 range from 0.56 foot In southeastern Nebraska to 0.14 

foot In southwestern Nebraska, and average 0.34 foot for the entire State. 

With a specific yield of 15 percent, the net decline of 0.34 foot Indicates 

a decrease In ground-water storage in the State of about 2,500,000 acrefeet. This decrease may be compared with the deficiency In precipitation 

in Nebraska during the 3-year period 1935-37, which averaged about 14 

Inches a deficiency In the State of about 56,000,000 acre-feet.

190 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

The measurements of water level in the observation wells in 1937 are 

given in the following pages. The wells are listed alphabetically by 

county and numerically within each county. The numbers correspond to 

those given in Water-Supply Paper 817. This report gives complete 

descriptions of only those wells for which the measuring point was 

altered in 1937. The highest and lowest observed water levels for the 

period of observation are given for most wells. Daily water levels, 

taken from automatic water-level recorder charts, are given for three 

wells in Scotts Bluff County, and daily tape measurements, furnished by 

the Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation, are given for well 85, 

in Morrill County.

The water level in each well is expressed in feet above an assumed 

datum, which is 100 feet below the water level in that well on January 1, 

1935. The height of the measuring point above the datum for wells that 

have been established since January 1, 1935, has been interpolated from 

the average water level in a. group of similar wells on a selected date. 

All water levels are directly comparable even though the measuring point 

has been changed, because the record is given in a height above a datum 

that has been referred to one or more benchmarks near the well.

NEW JERSEY

By Henry C. Barksdale

The quantitative ground-water investigations now being carried on 

in New Jersey were begun in 1925, and the collection of data has been 

continuous since that time. Most of the work has been concentrated in 

six areas that are considered typical, or in which critical ground-water 

problems exist. The water levels in a considerable number of wells have 

been observed either continuously, by means of water-stage recorders, or 

by occasional measurements, for periods of as much as almost 15 years. 

In addition to the measurements made in connection with this work, several 

very good records have been kept by other organizations or individuals 

withir the State. The outstanding record among this group Is that of the 

water levels in a well in Plainfield which have been measured regularly 

since 1891. It is apparent therefore that much information is available 

on the water-level fluctuations in New Jersey.

The present investigations have been carried on under cooperative 

agreements between the United States Geological Survey and an agency of 

the State, except for the period from 1927 to 1931, when the cooperation 

was suspended and the collection of data was carried on independently by 

State agencies. The investigations are now being conducted as a cooperative project by the United States Geological Survey and the Hew Jersey 

State Water Policy Commission.

Publications dealing with ground-water conditions and water-level

measurements in New Jersey were listed in the 1936 annual report on water

!/

levels which was issued during 1937 and which contains considerable information on water levels and artesian pressure. During the year the State

2/

also published a report on the subject of water supplies. This publication describes the water-level fluctuations in the No. 1 sand since the 

first wells were drilled and gives hydrographs showing in detail the fluctuations in four observation wells from 1929 to 1955.

Fluctuations of the water level have been observed in wells that tap 

artesian aquifers and in wells that tap sands containing water under watertable conditions. In some of the observation wells the water-level fluctuations have been caused primarily by pumping and in others the/ have been 

produced entirely by changes in the natural rate of intake and discharge

of water from the sand. The interpretation of the fluctuations of water 

level in each observation well must therefore take into account the nature 

of the aquifer from which the well draws its water, and the presence or 

absence of artificial withdrawals of water.

Perhaps the most important distinction to be made is that between the 

fluctuations in wells tapping artesian formations and those tapping waterbearing sands in which water-table conditions exist. Under water-table 

conditions a rise or fall of the water level indicates an increase or decrease in the amount of water stored in the sand immediately around the 

well. In an artesian sand, on the other hand, a rise or fall of the water 

level in an observation well usually indicates only an increase or decrease 

in the pressure of the water in the sand surrounding the screen of the well 

and relatively not a large change in the amount of water stored in the sand 

around the well. An artesian aquifer acts primarily as a conduit that 

carries water from Its intake area to the wells through which it is withdrawn. When water is withdrawn from a well, the pressure immediately around 

it is lowered and more water flows into this area from other parts of the 

sand. A pressure gradient sufficient to overcome the resistance of the 

sand to the movement of the water must be established in order to permit 

the water to flow toward the well. The water level in an observation well 

anywhere along this gradient will then be lowered.

Water-bearing sands and the impervious beds that confine them are 

somewhat elastic and compressible. For this reason fluctuations of the 

water level in observation wells are sometimes caused by conditions not 

related to the withdrawal of water, such as the tidal loading and unloading of the surface near the observation well. Tidal fluctuations have 

been observed in a number of observation wells in New Jersey.

Although records of water levels in New Jersey have been published 

occasionally since 1868, none of them were detailed or continuous enough 

to permit a study of water-level fluctuations until 1891, when regular 

observations of the water level in a well at the Netherwood Station Of 

the Plainfield-Union Water Co. Were begun. Owing largely to the interest 

of Mr. Amos Andrews, for many years superintendent of the plant, the 

observations of the water level in this well were continued from 1891 to 

the present time. They constitute what is believed to be one of the 

longest unbroken series of observations on any well in the United States.

Daily observations were made over much of the period of record. A graph

3/ 

and a brief description of this record were published in 1936.________

236 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

The elevation of the ground surface near this well Is about 120 feet 

above mean sea level. The wells at this station draw their water principally from sand and gravel of glacial origin, although some of them extend 

into the underlying sandstones and shales of Triassic age. It Is probable 

that the water in these aquifers occurs essentially under water-table rather 

than under artesian conditions. During the period of record the precipitation In the area surrounding the well field has ranged from 37.66 to 

57.80 inches a year.

An examination of the record of the water levels in this well indicates 

that there have been at least three distinct types of fluctuation a seasonal fluctuation of 5 to 10 feet each year caused by the changes in the 

rate of ground-water Intake from winter to summer, a cyclical fluctuation, 

sometimes as much as 15 or 20 feet, corresponding to periods of wet or dry 

years, and a general downward trend corresponding to a gradual increase 

In the rate of pumpage at the station from an average rate of about 500,000 

gallons daily in 1892 to over 7,000,000 gallons daily in 1929. Variations 

In the rate of intake and In the rate of withdrawal of water have, of 

course, occurred simultaneously, and their combined effects have been 

reflected In the level of the water in the well. Nevertheless, all three 

types of fluctuation become apparent upon a study of the record. In 

addition to the three types of fluctuation mentioned above, there was 

probably a daily or short-term fluctuation caused by minor variations In 

the rate of pumping.

The highest observed water level in this well occurred early in 1899, 

after 3 wet years. The water level then rose to an altitude of 109.75 

feet above mean sea level. The lowest water level observed was 63.46 feet 

above mean sea level at the end of 1931, during a very dry period and just 

before the rate of pumping from this station was reduced by about 25 percent because of the completion of a new pumping station and the transfer 

of some of the load to It. Between these extremes the water level in this 

well has fluctuated in response to the various changes in the rates of 

intake and withdrawal. There have been several periods of decline and 

recovery of the water level that appear to have been due to climatic conditions. Low points occurred In 1896, 1901, 1907, 1911, 1914, 1919, 1923, 

1925, and 1931. The most severe declines were those from 1928 to 1931 and 

from 1921 to 1923. The longest period of decline, If minor recoveries in 

1912 and 1915 to 1916 are neglected, was from 1908 to 1919. Owing to the 

increased rate of pumping over the period of record, It ia difficult to
NEW JERSEY 237

estimate what the net result of the climatic fluctuations may have been, 

but is seems probable that on the whole the recoveries have been about 

equal to the declines and that the major decline from the beginning of 

the record to the present time has been due almost entirely to pumping.

Atlantic City region. .Since 1924 continuous observations have been 

made of the water levels in certain observation wells tapping the socalled Atlantic City 800-foot sand in connection with the quantitative 

ground-water investigations in that area. This sand is a member of the 

Kirkwood formation, which outcrops about 40 miles inland from Atlantic 

City. The water in it is under artesian pressure. A change in the water 

level in the wells Is therefore indicative of a change in the pressure of 

the water in the sand rather than of any appreciable change In the amount 

of water stored in the sand around the wells. The fluctuations of the 

water level in the observation wells in this sand are produced primarily 

by changes in the rate of pumping. There has been no indication that 

seasonal or cyclical changes in the rate of intake have any effect on the 

water levels in the wells at Atlantic City that can be distinguished from 

the fluctuations due to changes in the rate of pumping.

Daily fluctuations of water levels, amounting to several feet, occur 

in many wells tapping the Atlantic City 800-foot sand in this area. They 

are caused primarily by variations in the rate of pumping, by the fluctuations of the tide, and by combinations of these two causes. The 

fluctuations caused by the tide are widest in wells very near the tidal 

bodies of water and disappear almost entirely within a mile or two from 

tidewater. The highs and lows In the wells occur at the same time as the 

high and low tides in the adjacent bodies of tidal water, and the extent 

of the fluctuation In the wells is usually proportionate to the fluctuations of the tide. Unusually high or low tides, due to storm conditions, 

cause correspondingly high or low water levels in the wells. The tidal 

fluctuation in these wells is believed to be due entirely to the loading 

and unloading of the surface as the tide advances and recedes and not to 

any considerable movement of the water In the sand. Typical examples of 

tidal fluctuations and of the combined effect of daily fluctuations of

pumping with the tidal fluctuations were Illustrated and discussed at

I/

some length by the writer In a report published In 1936.

The Atlantic City area Is an Important summer resort. Because of

this fact there Is a marked seasonal fluctuation In the rate of pumping

and a corresponding seasonal fluctuation In the artesian pressure In the 

sand and therefore In the water levels in the observation wells. This 

seasonal fluctuation ranges from 5 to 25 feet, depending on the location 

of the observation well with respect to the various centers of pumping. 

There is a lag In the adjustment of the artesian pressure to the rate 

of pumping. This is most noticeable in wells at some distance from 

important centers of pumpage.

There Is also a fluctuation or trend of the water levels in this 

sand that extends over several years and conforms in general to the 

Increases or decreases In the annual rate of pumping. The average daily 

rate of pumping each year increased steadily from 1924 to 1929, and the 

water levels dropped In response to this Increase. After 1929 the business In the resort dropped off sharply, the rate of pumping decreased, 

and the water levels recovered somewhat. They did not, however, recover 

at a rate proportionate to the decrease in pumping. When the pumping rate 

increased again after 1933 the water levels receded again. In the summer 

of 1937 the water levels In wells tapping this sand were almost as low as 

they were In the summer of 1929, but the rate of pumping was considerably 

less than the rate In 1929. An analysis of the relation between pumpage 

and water levels In the observation wells in this sand has shown what 

appears to be a cumulative lowering of the head in this sand. This may 

be due to pumpage In excess of the safe yield of the sand or to the fact 

that the Intake area of the sand Is many miles from the wells, so that 

considerable time may be required for the pressure gradient to become 

stabilized throughout this distance.

Runyon region. Water occurs under artesian conditions In the socalled No. 1 sand In the Runyon region. Most of the fluctuations of 

pressure In this sand have been produced by fluctuations in pumpage. 

However, the Intake area of the sand Is only a few miles from the wella, 

and there has been some indication that changes in the height of the 

water table in this area also affected the pressure at the observation 

wells to a limited extent.

The water level in wells in this sand originally rose as high as 

35 or 40 feet above sea level in some parts of the region. Elsewhere 

the Intake area of the sand Is at or near sea level, and It seems probable 

that water was once discharged from the sand In these vicinities. The 

sand has been subjected to heavy pumping by large industrial plants 

at ParlJn and South Amboy. Since 1929, from 6,000,000 to 9,000,000
NEW JERSEY 239

gallons daily has been taken from the sand within an area of a few square 

miles. In parts of this area the water level in wells to the No. 1 sand 

has been drawn down to 75 feet below sea level or about 110 feet below 

the original static level.

Unfortunately most of the pumping has been concentrated within 2 or 

3 miles of a locality where the intake area of the sand is crossed by the 

tidal estuaries of the Raritan and South Rivers. It was in this locality 

that water from the sand was probably discharged before its head was lowered 

by pumping. TO make matters worse, the so-called Washington Canal was constructed across the salt marshes near the town of South River in 1929. The 

excavation of the canal exposed the sand directly to salt water. When the 

fresh-water head in the sand was lowered below a safe level, the salt water

was drawn into the sand. The conditions affecting this sand are described

5/ 

in detail in a report published during 1937, in which the danger of salt

water entering the sand in the vicinity of the canal was pointed out. Test 

wells drilled subsequently have shown that salt water has actually advanced 

almost to the edge of the well field at Parlin, and it seems protable that 

the wells there will be contaminated by it within a short time.

About 30 dug wells in the Runyon area have been measured about once a 

month since 1923. Practically all these wells are outside the area of influence of any major ground-water development, but some of them are affected 

by small withdrawals of water for household use. Because of variations in 

local conditions and in the use of the various wells, the records of 

individual wells have not proved very significant. It has, however, been 

possible to average the fluctuations of the water level in these wells, 

and to obtain a group of figures that are believed to be fairly representative of the natural fluctuations of the water table in this area. It 

is interesting to note that although the wells are all less than 50 feet 

deep, it was necessary to divide them into two groups on the basis of 

depth in order to get satisfactory averages. Wells 25 feet deep or more 

were arbitrarily classed as deep wells, and those less than 25 feet were 

considered shallow wells.

Although both groups of wells fluctuate seasonally, the shallow wells 

reflect more promptly changes in the rate of ground-water intake or discharge as affected by precipitation or transpiration. They usually reach 

their highest level late in winter and their lowest level at the end of 

summer. "There has been no indication of any long-term trend of the water 

table either downward or upward. The average for the shallow wells has

of Parlin, N. J.; State Water Policy Comm. Special Rept. 7, 1937.
240 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

risen to what appears to be about a normal level each winter, and the range 

of fluctuation has therefore been determined chiefly by the extent of the 

summer decline. The usual fluctuation has been only 4 or 5 feet each year. 

The maximum occurred in 1932, when the lowest average water level was 

almost 6-| feet below the highest for the year.

The deeper wells exhibit a seasonal trend, but usually the annual high 

and low levels occur later than those for the shallow wells. The deep-well 

average has also shown a tendency to carry over the effect of a dry year 

into the following year, so that there has been some evidence of cyclical 

fluctuations in response to groups of wet or dry years. This average was 

relatively high in 1924, 1928, and from 1934 to 1937. It was low in 1926, 

and the lowest level was observed in 1932.

A water-stage recorder has been maintained since August 1923 on a 

shallow water-table well in this area known as the Joseph Morrell well. 

The fluctuations of the water level in the Morrell well have been very 

similar to those of the average for the shallow wells described above 

There has been no indication of any long-term trend of the water level. 

The water level in this well has risen each winter to about the same level 

and the range of fluctuation has been about the same as that for the average 

of the shallow wells. The recorded low for this well also occurred in 1932, 

when the water level in it was about 7 feet below the highest level of the 

preceding winter. This well has also yielded interesting records showing 

the effect of transpiration on the water table and the effect of the more 

rapid melting of snow during the day than at night. 8 brief description 

of the water-table fluctuations near Runyon and of the record from the

S/ Morrell well was published in 1933.

Water level observations in 1937

During 1937 about 6,500 measurements of water level were made in New 

Jersey. Of the 154 wells measured 143 were measured more than once. Five 

wells were measured at least once £%ay,by local observers, and more than 

half of the other wells were measured once a month. About half of the 

measurements, other than the daily observations, were made by the regular 

staff engaged on the New Jersey ground-water projects and the remainder by 

local observers.

Water-stage recorders have continued to yield the most significant 

data on water levels in the State. During 1937 water-stage recorders were 

maintained on 40 wells. Five of these recorders were owned and operated 

by water departments, water companies, or industries interested in ground6/ Barkadale, H. C., A 10-year record of water-table flucutations near

water conditions. The remaining 35 were owned and operated by the United 

States Geological Survey and the State Water Policy Commission.

In the following tables all measurements of water level made in 1937 

in wells included in the 1936 report are given. The record of measurements of water level in a number of other wells is also presented. These 

new records begin with the first measurement on the well and include the 

measurements made in 1937. A brief description of the conditions affecting the water levels in the well is included in some of the table headings 

as an aid to the interpretation of the record.

The daily water levels are given for the year 1937 for each well 

included in the tables that was equipped with a water-stage recorder. It 

was, of course, necessary to select arbitrarily some one figure for each 

day, because it is impossible to report a continuous record completely in 

tabular form. The water level at the end of the day is given for wells 

where the fluctuation of the water level is usually small, because this 

figure best reflects the results of any pumping or precipitation on that 

day. In many of the wells that tap artesian aquifers and are affected by 

pumping, the water level fluctuates widely in the course of a single day. 

In such wells the lowest water level each day is reported and a statement 

of the range of fluctuation is given. In the Longport well, where the 

daily fluctuation is almost entirely tidal, the average of the four tidal 

extremes (two highs and two lows) each day is reported.

Particular attention is called to the table for the Morrell well 

giving a comparison of the water levels in this well on the first of each 

month in 1937 with the average water level on that date during the preceding 13 or 14 years of record. The water levels in the Morrell well are 

believed to indicate fairly the behavior of the water table in those parts 

of the Coastal Plain where it is near the surface. It will be noted that 

the water level in this well was, on the whole, a little above the average 

for the preceding years of record. There were particularly wide variations 

from the average on June 1 and August 1, when the water level was 0.60 and 

0.75 foot respectively below the average, and on September 1 and November 

1, when the water level was 1.24 and 0.60 feet respectively above the 

average.

Morris Station test well no. 3 

Camden region

Well no. 31.2.2.5.2, Description in Water-Supply Paper 817. Altitude 

of reference point 6.81 feet above mean sea level. Water-stage recorder 

maintained since August 7, 1924. Highest observed water level, 0.3 foot 

below mean sea level March 19, 1936; lowest, 35.84 feet below mean sea 

level on June 14, 1926. The water level fluctuates with the total pumpage 

from the well field, with the distribution of pumpage- from one well to 

another within the well field, and with the tide in the Delaware River. 

The daily fluctuation ranged from less than a foot to as much as 6 feet 

during 1937.

Avon well no. 1 

Asbury Park region

Well no. 29.24.7.1.6. Description in Water-Supply Paper 817. Altitude of reference point 28.77 feet above mean sea level. First measured 

September 24, 1924. Highest observed water level, 4.46 feet below mean 

sea level April 12, 1937; lowest, 132 feet below mean sea level August 4, 

1925, while the well was being pumped. The water level in this well is 

affected by the extent of the recovery since it was last pumped and by the 

operation of other wells in the vicinity that tap the same artesian aquifer. 

Altitude of water surface, in feet below mean sea level, 1937 (from tape 

measurements): Apr. 12, 4.46} June 10, 22.84; July 24, 45.75; Dec. 30, 

12.90.

Bradley Beach 650-foot well 

Asbury Park region

Well no. 29.24.4.8.4. Description in Water-Supply Paper 817. Altitude of reference point 17.54 feet above mean sea level. First measured 

October 29, 1924. Highest observed water level, 5.17 feet below mean sea 

level April 17, 1935; lowest, 136.68 feet below mean sea level August 27, 

1925. Prior to May 17, 1932, this well and two or three others that tap 

the same artesian aquifer in the same well field were pumped for public 

water supply and the water levels were affected mainly by this pumping. 

Since that date water-level fluctuations have been caused by changes in 

the regional rate of pumping from the aquifer, the nearest pumped well 

being about 1.5 miles distant.

East Paterson region

Well no. 26.3.1.8.2. Description in Water-Supply Paper 817. Altitude of reference point 48.63 feet above mean sea level. First measured 

August 23, 1926. Highest observed water level, 44.21 feet above mean sea 

level October 6, 1926 (flowed when drilled); lowest, 17.28 feet below mean 

sea level November 5, 1930. A water-stage recorder was maintained on this 

well for brief periods in 1930. These records were inadvertently omitted 

from Water-Supply Paper 817. They are presented below followed by the 

measurements made in 1937. The highest and lowest water levels are presented 

for each day that the recorder was in service in order to emphasize the wide 

fluctuations that occur in this well. Obviously single observations of 

water level in this well may be misleading.

Browntown test well 

Runyon region

Well no. 29.1.4.6.8. Clyde Bowne. About 0.8 mile north of Browntown, 

about 50 feet east of the road to South Amboy, and 30 feet north of a branch 

of Tennent Brook. A 6-inch artesian well 71 feet deep, finished with a 

5-foot section of gauze-covered perforated 6-inch pipe set in the No. 3 

sand. Drilled in 1932 especially for water-level observations. Measuring 

point top of coupling at top of casing on side nearest the road. Altitude, 

32.61 feet above mean sea level. Benchmark, copper nail and washer marked 

"U.S.G.S.-W.R." in the base of an oak tree between the well and the stream. 

Altitude, 30.32 feet above mean sea level. Water-stage recorder maintained 

since November 18, 1932. Highest observed water level, 26.75 feet above 

mean sea level on several days in October 1934} lowest, 21.83 feet above 

mean sea level November 18, 1932. The fluctuations of the water level in 

this well are very slow and appear to reflect changes in the height of the 

water table in the intake area of the sand, which are affected by pumping 

at the Perth Amboy Water Works as well as by natural causes.

Runyon old deep well no. 8

Well no. 29.1.4.1.1 (field no. OD-8). City of Perth Amboy. In Perth 

Amboy Water Department's well field at Runyon, N. J., about 50 feet southeast of old Amboy turnpike and about half a mile northeast of bridge over 

Tennent Brook. An artesian well 8 inches in diameter and about 290 feet 

deep, finished with 30 feet of 6-inch screen set in the No. 1 sand. 

Drilled in 1915. Measuring points, prior to July 29, 1931, top of coupling 

on 1-inch pipe projecting through plug in top of well, altitude 19.13 feet 

above mean sea level. July 29, 1931, to date, top of coupling at top of 

casing about 0.8 foot above the ground surface, altitude 18.81 feet above 

mean sea level. Benchmark, copper nail and washer marked "U.S.G.S.-W.R. 1* 

in oak stump across old Amboy turnpike, altitude 19.99 feet above mean sea

level. First measured September 10, 1929. Water-stage recorder maintained 

since July 29, 1931. Highest observed water level, 8.8 feet above mean 

sea level April 3, 1933; lowest, 40.6 feet below mean sea level October 

25, 1935. Changes in the operation of a nearby well cause occasional rapid 

changes in the water level in this well amounting to several feet in a day. 

Exclusive of this effect, weekly fluctuations of 3 or 4 feet and seasonal 

fluctuations of 10 to 25 feet are caused by changes in the regional pumping 

from the No. 1 sand. During 1937 the dsily fluctuation ranged from less 

than a foot to more than 7 feet.

NEW MEXICO

By A. M. Morgan

The cooperative ground-water investigations In Lea, Curry, and 

Roosevelt Counties, Mimbres Valley, Middle Rio Grande Valley, Pecos 

River district in the vicinity of Carlsbad, and the Roswell artesian 

basin were continued in 1937 by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

State engineer. Measurements of water levels made during 1937 in three 

wells in the Roswell artesian basin are given in this report. Waterlevel measurements made in connection with the other cooperative groundwater projects are included in the biennial reports of the State engineer.

ROSWELL ARTESIAN BASIN

The fluctuations of artesian head in the Roswell basin during 1937 

as indicated by the three representative wells equipped with water-stage 

recorders are shown in the table below. The mean monthly head was ascertained by averaging the mean daily head, which In turn was determined 

from inspection of the recorder graph. The mean annual head was determined by averaging the mean monthly head. The records for 1937 were furnished through the courtesy of E. C. Minton, Jr., artesian-well supervisor of the Roswell artesian basin. The records of the fluctuation in 

head from 1925 through 1935 are given in Water-Supply Paper 777 (pp. 112- 

113), and those for 1936 in Water-Supply Paper 817,(pp. 195-197).

The records of the three observation wells show a major seasonal 

fluctuation In artesian head that conforms in pattern to that of the 

past few years. The artesian head shows a marked response to changes in 

the draft on wells used for irrigation and to changes In precipitation. 

In general there is a sharp decline In head from December or January to 

April, followed by a more gradual decline or a sharp increase during May 

and June. During July and August there is another sharp decline in head, 

which reaches its low point of the year In August. There is a marked Increase in head in September and October and a less rapid Increase through 

November and December.

The periods of greatest draft are normally during the planting 

season In March and April and in the growing season In the middle of the

252
NEW MEXICO 255

summer, principally in July and August. During May and early June there is 

normally much less draft on the wells than in March and April or in July 

and August, and as a result the artesian head either increases somewhat or 

decreases leas rapidly. The midseason increase in head is most pronounced 

in the Artesia well, somewhat less so in the Orchard Park well and is sometimes not apparent in the Berrendo well.

Changes in precipitation in the area of artesian flow affect the fluctuations in the artesian head by changing the draft from the wells in the 

area. Subnormal precipitation during the summer materially increases the 

draft and results in further decrease in head. Conversely precipitation 

above normal causes a decrease in draft and results in an increase in head 

or in a less rapid decrease. Changes in precipitation in the area of intake to the west affect the artesian head by changing the rate of recharge. 

All three observation wells show a general decrease in head through the 

relatively dry period from 1927 to 1930, and a general increase in head in . 

the wet years of 1931 and 1932. The dry period of 1933 through 1937 has 

resulted in another general decrease in head, although the head in the 

Artesia well increased in 1935 and 1936 and that in the Orchard Park well 

increased sharply in 1937.

Since 1931 more than 200 artesian wells which were leaking underground have been plugged by the State engineer and the Pecos Valley Conservancy District. The effect of eliminating the draft from leaking wells 

through the well-plugging program is difficult or impossible to distinguish 

in the fluctuation of head in the three observation wells, as such effect 

is superimposed upon the larger fluctuations caused by changes in draft 

for irrigation and by precipitation. The Increase in head in the Artesia 

well in 1935 and 1936, both years of subnormal precipitation, may be due 

in part to this decrease in draft.

The mean monthly water level in the Berrendo well was 0.4 foot higher 

in December 1937 than in December 1936. The mean annual water level, however, was 0.2 foot below that of 1936. In the Orchard Park well the mean 

annual water level was 2.6 feet higher in 1937 than in 1936, and the mean 

monthly water level for December 1937 was 3.9 feet higher than that for 

December 1936 and was the highest monthly stage in the period of record. 

The mean annual water level in the Artesia well was 3.3 feet lower in 1937 

than in 1936. The mean monthly water level in December 1937 was 3.8 feet 

below that of December 1936.

254 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

The water levels In all three wells rose markedly In May and June following the planting season and the heavy rains In the latter part of May. 

The Increase In mean monthly head from December 1936 to December 1937 In 

the Berrendo and Orchard Park wells and the Increase In mean annual head In 

the Orchard Park well are probably due to Increased recharge to the artesian reservoir during the floods on the Rio Hondo and Berrendo Creek (Blackwater Draw) In the north end of the artesian basin In late May and early 

June. The decrease In head In the Artesla well was probably caused by 

greater draft owing to a deficiency In precipitation In the southern part 

of the artesian basin.

CENTRAL HEW YORK 

By A. W. Harrington

Periodic water-level measurements in three wells in central New 

York were continued in 1937 by the Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the State Department of Conservation. The location of the wells, the 

descriptions of the measuring points, and previous measurements are published in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817.

The water level in the Shackham Brook well 1, with minor fluctuations, fell slowly throughout the first part of the year until in August 

it reached a stage of 4.87 feet below the measuring point, the lowest 

stage for the year. In October the water level rose abruptly about 4 

feet, so that on December 26, 1937, it was about the same as on December 

26, 1936.

The water level in the Sage Brook well 2 remained relatively constant until July; then it declined, with minor fluctuations, until it 

reached a low point of 3.37 feet below the measuring point in August. 

It recovered rather rapidly and in October reached a new high point of 

1.12 feet below the measuring point. This is the highest stage recorded 

during the period of measurement. The water level at the end of the 

year was about the same as at the end of the previous year.

The water level in the Cold Spring Brook well 1 reached its high 

point for the year in June, with a stage of 3.25 feet below the measuring point. The lowest stage for the year, 9.15 feet below the measuring 

point, occurred about the middle of October.

LONG ISLAND 

By R. H. Leggette

The Investigation of the ground-water conditions on Long Island in 

cooperation with the State Water Power and Control Commission and Nassau 

and Suffolk Counties was continued during 1937. Measurements of water 

levels were made in selected observation wells In those parts of the 

island where conditions are actually or potentially critical.

During most of 1937 automatic water-stage recorders were In operation on 17 observation wells. At the end of the year water levels In 44 

additional wells were being measured weekly. About 2,500 Individual 

water-level measurements were made in 1937.

A report on ground-water levels on Long Island is now in preparation and will probably be published by the State Water Power and Control 

Commission. That report will give rather detailed water-level data, including descriptions of the various factors causing water-level fluctuations. ,

Since the publication of Water-Supply Paper 817, a well-numbering 

system in general use on Long Island has been adopted. The following 

table Indicates the new well numbers for the wells included in WaterSupply Paper 817. The five wells described In Water-Supply Paper 817 

(p. 202) retain the same numbers used in that report.

A statement of changes made during the past year in the measuring 

points of a few of the observation wells is given In the descriptive 

headings of such wells. Two new test wells and three replacement test 

wells were put down during the year. To make well S 201 suitable considerable repairs were made. This well was repaired and the five test 

wells were constructed by the Nassau County Engineer's Office, to which 

grateful acknowledgment Is made.
258 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Attention is called to errors in the heading of the table in WaterSupply Paper 817 (p. 202). The well number at the top of the sixth 

column should read 224a rather than 2381. The well number at the top of 

the seventh column should read 2381 rather than 347f.

In parts of Long Island ground-water levels were more than a foot 

higher at the end of 1937 than at the beginning of the year. In other 

parts of the Island the water level declined during the year, particularly in areas of heavy pumping. In the western part, where the water 

table in places is more than 29 feet below sea level, water levels continued to decline as in previous years, though at a lower rate. In 

general, precipitation during 1937 was below normal in the eastern part 

and above normal in the western part. For the entire island December 

was abnormally dry. This may account for the lower ground-water levels 

in some areas, because considerable recharge usually takes place in 

December.

stovepipe well 3, at old West Islip Experiment Station, about 4,000 feet 

southeast of intersection of Udalls Road and Hunter Avenue and about 2 

miles west of Bayshore, Suffolk County. Diameter 16 inches, depth about 

200 feet. Measuring point, top of 16-inoh casing, about one foot below 

land surface and 31.68 feet above mean sea level. Measuring point was 

lowered 3.89 feet May 21, 1937. Water level May 22, 1937, 8.99 feet below measuring point and 22.69 feet above mean sea level. First measured 

June 23, 1933. Lowest observed water level, 19,69 feet above mean sea 

level Nov. 6, 1937. Highest observed water level, 23.58 feet above mean 

sea level Apr. 22, 1934. (The altitude of the measuring point of this 

well, incorrectly given on p. 201 of Water-Supply Paper 817 as 33.22 feet 

above mean sea level, was 35.57 feet above mean sea level, Thus, all the 

figures given under well 674c on pp. 203-204 are 2.35 feet too low. The 

water level on Feb. 5, 1936, should read 21,56 feet above mean sea level.)

of Central Park, Nassau County. Diameter Ij- inches, sounded depth 47.5 

feet below land surface. Measuring point, top of pipe, 0.4 foot above 

land surface and 78.37 feet above mean sea level. Measuring point was 

lowered 0.53 foot on Mar. 31, 1937, when a new well was put down to replace the old well that had become clogged. The old pipe was removed 

and the new pipe placed in the same hole. (See statement on p. 200 of 

Water-Supply Paper 817, The old measuring point had an altitude of 

78.90 feet above mean sea level. The altitude of this measuring point 

was incorrectly given on p. 125 of Water-Supply Paper 777 as 78.72 feet 

above mean sea level. The figures there given are therefore 0.18 foot 

too low.) Water level Apr. 3, 1937, 25.69 feet below measuring point

CROTON VALLEY

By C. E. Jacob

I/ The ground-water Investigation begun in July 1936 by the Federal 

Geological Survey in cooperation with the Village of Ossining was continued 

in 1937. Weekly water-level measurements were made in 47 observation wells. 

Water-stage recorders were maintained throughout the year on three wells, 

10, 17, and D 15, and for periods of a week or more on 17 shallow wells 

and 6 deep wells.

The wells were re-leveled during 1937 and the altitude of the measuring points above sea level determined for all wells. Discrepancies between 

the altitudes given below for the original 9 wells and those given in WaterSupply Paper 817 are due to inaccuracies in previous leveling. An altitude

2/ 

of 100.00 feet above the arbitrary datum assumed for the remaining wells

was found to correspond to an altitude of 42.54 feet above mean sea level. 

The measuring points, except those shown below, remained unchanged.

The measuring points described below are those in use at the end of 

1937.

In September 1937 four pumping tests were run to determine the permeability of the water-bearing beds. The results of these and other 

tests are to be published subsequently.

The water level in all the wells is directly affected by the stage 

of the Croton River. Gaging stations were maintained on Croton River below New Croton Dam and at Quaker Bridge. The discharge data obtained 

therefrom have been published elsewhere.

NORTH CAROLINA

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By E. D. Burchard

The program of water-level measurements In observation wells in 

North Carolina as described in Water-Supply Paper 777 (p. 130) was 

continued in 1936 (Water-Supply Paper 817, pp. 213-228) and in 1937 (the 

present report). Automatic water-level recorders were operated on two 

wells, and measurements were made about weekly on five others. In general 

the records indicate that the 1937 winter and spring recharge was the 

greatest since observations were started in 1931. The normal summer and 

autumn decline in water levels in 1936 ended about December 1, fully a month 

earlier than in the preceding year. Recovery began promptly, and the 

water levels reached an unusually high stage in February and March 1937. 

The average stage of the water levels in this period is the highest recorded. At the Kurfee well the water level reached a stage about 5 feet above 

the level for the corresponding date in 1932, when drought was State-wide. 

Water levels were uniformly higher In the summer of 1937 than in the previous summer, and the decline in the autumn was less. As a result, the 

water level in mast of the wells fctood higher at the end of 1937 than at 

the end of 1936.

DEEP RIVER AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Fishel and H. W. Palm

I/ 

The observation well program in the Deep River area in Gullford,

Forsyth, and Randolph Counties, near High Point, N. C., was continued in 

1937 by the Qeological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation 

Service, J. H. Stallings, project manager. Water-level measurements were 

made by members of the Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service 

about weekly, in 23 wells during 1937. Four automatic water-stage recorders were in operation in the area during the year. About 1,100 measurements were made during the year ending December 31, 1937.

I/ Water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in the 

United States in 1936: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 817. 

pp. 217-224, 1937. '
306 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Well 1, which was used to some extent for domestic supplies, was 

discontinued as an observation well on October 7, and measurements were 

started in August on well la, which is located 1,000 feet north of well 

1. The measuring point of well la is given with reference to the datum 

of well 1.

The average water levels on successive dates for 1937 were obtained 

by averaging the water levels in 21 wells (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9b, 10, 

12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, and 27). Figure 10 gives the 

average height of the water levels above the assumed datum planes for the 

period November 1934 to January 1, 1938. The data for the part of the 

illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 1937, were 

taken from Water-Supply Paper 817.

Figure 10.-Average height of water levels, in feet above datum 

planes, in wells in the Deep River area, N. C.

Ground water is replenished in this area chiefly during December, 

January, February, and March, and in some of the wells the recharge is 

very rapid and the total annual recharge is high. The water level in 

well 27 has fluctuated more than 20 feet since observations were begun 

in 1934. Since the water levels are changing rapidly at the beginning 

of the year their annual trend is more apparent on some later date, such 

as July 1 or October 1, when the changes are less rapid.
HORTH CAROLINA 307

The water levels rose an average of about 5 feet from the middle of 

November 1934 to April 2, 1935, and then declined with only minor interruptions from April 2 until the end of the year, at which time they were about 

half a foot lower than in November 1934. The water levels rose an average 

of 7.93 feet from December 22, 1935, to April 10, 1936. These two dates 

represent respectively the times of the lowest and highest average stages 

of the water levels during the period of record, November 1934 to January 

1, 1938. The water levels declined an average of 6.62 feet from April 10 

to September 25, 1936, recovered nearly 2 feet by October 16, and then declined about 1 0 5 feet by December 11.

Prom December 11, 1936, to January 22, 1937, the water levels rose an 

average of 5.83 feet to, the highest average stage of 1937. This stage was 

0.30 foot lower than the highest average stage of 1936. The water levels 

declined an average of 6.14 feet from January 22 to December 17, 1937, and 

then rose 0.74 foot by December 31.

The water levels on January 1, 1938, averaged 2.21 feet lower than on 

January 1, 1937; 1.63 feet lower than on January 1, 1936; and 0.27 foot 

lower than on January 1, 1935. However, the water levels averaged 0.48 

foot higher on October 1, 1937, than on October 1, 1936, and 1.22 feet 

higher than on October 1, 1935.

The location and description of the observation wells in the Deep 

River area are given below. The depth given for each well is the depth 

below the land surface. The distance given between a well and a road is 

the distance from the well to the middle of the road.

ELIZABETH CITY AREA 

By A. G. Piedler

Observations of the fluctuations of the ground-water level near 

Elizabeth City, N. C., we-re continued in 1937 through the cooperation of 

the Elizabeth City Public Utility Commission. Records were obtained of 

one shallow well equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder that was 

serviced periodically by an employee of the Commission. Unfortunately the 

record is not continuous, but the part available is valuable as it supposedly reflects the major fluctuations of the year.

A detailed description of the well, the hydrologic conditions of the 

surrounding area, and the water-level records for previous years is given 

in Water-Supply Paper 817 (pp. 225-228). The well is about 3 miles west 

of Elizabeth City and about 2,500 feet northwest of the pumping plant on 

the city well field. The water levels at the well are not affected appreciably by the pumping in the well field, but the record is especially valuable in connection with the city water supply in showing the natural groundwater recharge and the natural depletion of ground-water storage.

The water levels listed in the following table were taken from the 

recorder graph and represent the minima on the days for which records are 

available. The levels represent the distance, in feet, of the water table 

below the measuring point, which is the edge of a hole in the instrument 

shelf 1.5 feet above the land surface.

The lowest water level during the time that the recorder was in operation in 1937 occurred on July 17 and was 7.14 feet below the measuring 

point. This level is 0.36 foot above the lowest point of record which 

occurred on November 17, 1935. The highest of the minimum daily levels
NORTH CAROLINA 517

recorded during 1937 was on February 23, and was 2.03 feet below the measuring point. As the measuring point is 1.5 feet above the land surface, 

it is obvious that the water was almost at the surface and that practically 

all available storage space in the surficial materials was filled. At the 

end of the year the water level was about 2.5 feet below the measuring 

point, or about 1 foot below the land surface. This level is essentially 

the same as that at the end of 1936.

The water levels recorded in the Elizabeth City well are typical of 

shallow water-table wells in many flat sections of the humid region. During 

periods of deficient precipitation the water level declines more or less 

persistently, but upon the recurrence of precipitation the water level 

recovers promptly, frequently within a period of a few weeks or sometimes 

within a few days, particularly if the rain falls during the nongrowing 

season. The records of well 31T, near Elizabeth City, show that though 

the water level declined to a minimum stage of about 7 feet below the measuring point in each of the years for which records are available (1935, 

1936, and 1937) there was always prompt recovery, with the result that at 

one or more times each year the water level was within a foot or less of 

the land surface.

In 1937 the precipitation at Elizabeth City was 58.07 inches. This 

was fairly well distributed through the year except in July, when it was 

4.11 inches above normal. The annual precipitation was 10.57 inches above 

normal, 'which, as the water levels indicate, was ample to replenish the 

storage in the upper ground-water reservoir in this region by the end of 

the year.

NORTH DAKOTA

By L. K. Wenzel and P. W. Voedisch

During the summer of 1937 the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the North Dakota Geological Survey began an investigation of the 

ground-water conditions in the Dakota Artesian Basin and started a Statewide program of periodic measurements of water levels in wells. The work 

in the Dakota Artesian Basin was done by H. H. Sand, of the North Dakota 

Geological Survey, and observation wells were located by P. W. Voedisch, 

Supervisor of Works Progress Administration Projects sponsored by the North 

Dakota Geological Survey, Grand Porks, N. Dak. The study of the Dakota 

Artesian Basin and the location of the observation wells were under the 

direct supervision of L. K. Wenzel, of the Federal Survey. It is contemplated that the study of the Dakota Basin will be continued in 1938 and 

1939 and that the observation-well program will be carried on indefinitely. 

This report contains measurements of water levels in observation wells in 

Horth Dakota in 1937 in connection with the cooperative project.

At the end of 1937, water levels were measured weekly in about 50 

observation wells. Most of the wells are located in eastern North Dakota, 

but it is planned to establish others in the western part of the State in 

1938. Water levels in about 20 of the wells are ma&sured through the 

courtesy of city, State, and Federal agencies, and in the remainder of 

the wells are measured by local observers employed for the project. The 

source of the record for each well is given in the well description that 

precedes the well measurements. About 600 individual measurements of water 

level were made in the wells in 1937, and two automatic water-stage recorders were operated on wells for short periods at the end of the year.

Most of the observation wells are in areas of glacial drift or associated Pleistocene deposits and do not penetrate through these deposits. 

A few, however, tap water in the underlying bedrock. Several of the wells 

are definitely artesian, and the water levels in others may reflect artesian pressure. As noted in the descriptions of the wells, some are pumped 

for domestic, stock, or public use and a few are influenced by the pumping 

of other wells nearby.

The water level in most of the observation wells has not been observed 

for a sufficient period to make interpretation of the fluctuations possible. 

However, the water level in well 23 near Harvey, Wells County, which has 

been measured periodically since 1927, stood about 7 feet higher at the end

319
320 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

of 1937 than it did at the end of 1936, thus indicating considerable groundwater replenishment in that area in 1937. The water level in well 18 in 

Sheyenne, Eddy County, on August 12, 1937, stood about 0.9 foot lower than 

on August 12, 1936, and about 1.2 feet higher than on March 28, 1935.

The records of 36 observation wells in 19 counties on which satisfactory measurements were obtained in 1937 are given in the following table. 

The well descriptions and measurements are listed alphabetically by county 

and numerically within each county. All water levels are expressed in 

feet above an assumed datum 100 feet below the water level in that well 

on January 1, 1938, or the nearest date of measurement. The depth to water 

level below the measuring point for any measurement may be computed by subtracting the height of the water level above the datum from the altitude of 

the measuring point. All water levels given for any one well are directly 

comparable even though the altitude of the measuring point may have been 

changed.

TEXAS COUNTY 

By S. L. Schoff

In an investigation of the ground-water resources of Texas County, 

Okla. begun in August 1937 in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey, the water levels were measured in about 490 wells, and about 30 

of these wells were selected as observation wells. Descriptions of these 

wells and records of their water levels for 1937 are given herewith.

Texas County is centrally located in the Oklahoma Panhandle. It Is 

bounded on the east by Beaver County and on the west by Cimarron County. 

It extends 60 miles from east to west, about 35 miles from north to south,

!/

and covers about 2,065 square miles. Guymon, the county seat, is very 

nearly in the middle of the county.

The county is entirely in the Great Plains physiographic province. 

Much of its surface is a flat, nearly featureless plain. In places, however, sand dunes give rise to hilly topography, and elsewhere the plain 

has been dissected by streams to produce two other types of topography 

the valley flats or flood plains and the "breaks" or uneven areas between 

stream valleys and upland.

The Beaver River and its tributaries drain the county. The Beaver may 

be a continuous stream across the county in times of relatively abundant 

rainfall, but in 1937, after 5 years of comparatively low rainfall, only 

the lower 45 miles held a stream of water, the upper 13 or 14 miles being 

a dry channel during the last half of the year. Paloduro Creek, a tributary from the south, is a permanent stream, arid Coldwater Creek, also a 

tributary from the south, may be permanent. Hackberry Creek is a tributary 

of Paloduro Creek, and may be permanent, but Chiquita Creek (locally called 

"Skeeter" Creek) is intermittent. Frisco Creek, a tributary to the Coldwater, is intermittent, as are other streams tributary to the Beaver. The 

North Pork of the Beaver Rive.r, Tspee Creek, Goff Creek, and Pony Creek 

enter the Beaver from the west, northwest, and north, and the South Pork

of the Beaver enters the main stream from the south, near Guymon.

S/ 

As classified by Meinzer, Texas County is part of the Great Plains

3/ 

Pliocene-Paleozoic ground-water province. In 1905 Gould discussed the

occurrence of ground water in Oklahoma and including the Panhandle counties

in his account of the High Plains. The name Texas County does not appear 

in his report because at the time he wrote the entire Panhandle constituted 

a single county under the name Beaver. Reports on 10 wells in this one 

county tabulated at the end of the report include 4 from the present Texas

County. The occurrence of water in both the Tertiary rocks and the older

*/

red beds of the county is discussed by Gould and Lonsdale in a bulletin

V published in 1926. Houghton reported on the chemical character of the 

underground waters of Texas County in 1930. In 1936, the State Mineral 

Survey of Oklahoma, operating under the Works Progress Administration and 

the Oklahoma Geological Survey, collected available information on wells, 

including depth of the well, reported depth to the water level, and the 

nature of the aquifers, but no wells were measured. These data have been 

summarized by the Oklahoma Geological Survey under the direction of Robert 

H. Dott but have not been published. W. N. White, of the Federal Geological Survey, Robert H. Dott, of the State Geological Survey, and W. C. 

Burnham, of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, made a brief reconnaissance in the Oklahoma Panhandle in June 1936.

Annual precipitation in Texas County has varied greatly from year to 

year, and in some years it has been markedly different at places only a 

few miles apart. For example, in 1912, Goodwell received 17.47 inches, 

while Guymon, 10 miles to the northeast, received 22.99 inches, and Hooker, 

30 miles northeast, received 18.19 inches. Annual precipitation at Goodwell since 1910 has ranged from 9.69 inches to 26.75 inches, and at Hooker 

since 1906 from 9.39 inches to 29.59 inches. A continuous record for Guymon has not been kept by the Weather Bureau, but the ms-x^rmtm recorded 

annual precipitation for the county, amounting to 34.99 inches, occurred 

there in 1915. D. P. Bissell, who has kept a private and unofficial record 

for Guymon since 1921, reports a minimum of 11.23 inches. The average 

annual precipitation at Goodwell from 1910 through 1936 is 16.7 inches, 

and at Hooker from 1906 through 1936 is 17.7 inches. Beginning in 1931, 

the annual precipitation at Goodwell has been below average by amounts 

ranging from 0.5 inch to 7.0 inches, and at Hooker it has been 0.2 inch 

to 6.9 inches below average. The average annual precipitation at Guymon 

for the past 17 years, according to this unofficial record, is 18.06 

inches, and beginning in 1932 yearly rainfall has been falling 1.3 to 

6.73 inches below this average.

334 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

STILLWATER CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Fishel and Verne Alexander

!/

The investigation in the Stillwater Creek area, near Stillwater, 

Okla., to determine the effects of the soil conservation operations on 

ground-water replenishment was continued in 1937 by the Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, G. W. Taylor, project 

manager. During the year W. A. Prater, of the Soil Conservation Service, 

made a total of about 700 water-level measurements on 15 wells including 

well 17, which was equipped with a water-stage recorder.

The mean daily water level in well 17 was obtained from the weekly 

recorder charts. Although the water levels of this well are not included 

in the table of weekly records they have been included in the average. 

The water level in this well, which was 11.20 feet below the measuring 

point on January 1, 1935, had a daily fluctuation during the growing season 

of as much as 0.07 foot, caused by transpiration. Willow roots were removed from the well on July 7. The water level rose from a mean height of 

8.04 feet above the arbitrary datum plane on July 7 to 3.31 feet on July 

12 and to 3.38 feet on July 16. Transpiration began again on July 20 

accompanied by a downward trend, but the range in fluctuation caused by 

transpiration was much less than before the roots were removed from the 

well.

The average water levels shown in the tables are the averages of the 

water levels in all the wells except 5 and 16. Well 9 was used for domestic 

purposes from March 15 to the later part of May. The water level in well 9 

declined several feet at the beginning of the pumping period and required 

several months to recover after the pumping ceased, and hence the waterlevel measurements for the period March 15 to October 4 were not used in 

computing the averages of the water levels. The water-level averages are 

somewhat irregular as a result of dropping wells 13 and 14 in August, omitting the measurements of well 9 for a part of the year, and omitting the 

measurements of well 11 from February 3 to August 23, when it was dry.

The average trend of the water levels for the period of observation 

is shown in the accompanying illustration. The data for the part of the 

illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 1937, were 

taken from Water-Supply Paper 317. The water levels had an average net

rise of 0.31 foot from October 13, 1934, to January 1, 1935. They had 

an upward trend until July 1, 1935, at which time they averaged 1.80 feet 

higher than on January 1, 1935. Low precipitation produced a downward 

trend of the water levels from July 1, 1935, to January 1, 1938, with only 

slight interruptions when recharge of less than half a foot occurred. The 

water levels had an average decline of 2.26 feet from July 1, 1935, to 

January 1, 1936. They averaged 0.46 foot lower on January 1, 1936, than 

on January 1, 1935. They were 1.42 feet lower on January 1, 1937, than on 

January 1, 1936, and 1.88 feet lower than on January 1, 1935.

The precipitation at the Weather Bureau station located at Stillwater 

was practically normal during 1934 and 1935. It was 18.29 inches in 1936, 

which is 15.54 inches below normal. It was about 7 inches below normal 

during 1937.

The water-level averages, as shown in the tables, are practically the 

same on January I, 1937, as on July 1, 1937. The averages for July 1, 

however, are slightly misleading, owing to the deletion of the measurements of wells 9 and 11 from the averages during the summer. The measurements of wells 9 and 11 would have reduced the averages by about 0.4 foot.

The water levels on January 1, 1938, averaged 0.82 foot lower than on 

January 1, 1937, 2.21 feet lower than on January 1, 1936, and 2.67 feet 

lower than on January 1, 1935.

OREGON

WALLA WALLA BASIN 

By Arthur H. Piper

In 1937 the small continuing program of water-level measurements in

I/ 

Oregon was temporarily suspended except in the Walla Walla Basin, Umatilla

County. In that basin, the same 20 observation wells were maintained 

throughout the year. In two wella equipped with float gages, 244 measurements of water level were made, largely by the owners serving as voluntary 

observers without pay. In the remaining 18 wells, 264 measurements were 

made by the district watermaster. The following table shows the yearly 

range in ground-water level.

Changes in ground-water level, in feet, in the 

Walla Walla Basin in 1937

Rise of water level, winter and spring 

of 1936-37:

Maximum.......................................... 26.93

Minimum.......................................... 1.83

Average.......................................... 11.96

Change in water level from Oct. 1, 1936, 

to Sept. 30, 1937:

Maximum rise..................................... 2.4

Maximum decline.................................. 4.1

Average change (decline)......................... .28

Change in water level from Jan. 1 to 

Dec. 31, 1937:

Maximum rise..................................... 8.3

Maximum decline.................................. 6.7

Average change (decline)......................... .30

The lowland of the Walla Walla Basin in Oregon is an alluvial fan 

composed largely of coarse gravel. The water in this material is derived 

chiefly by percolation from the Walla Walla River, which is flashy and is 

intermittent across the lowland. The ground-water level depends primarily 

upon the stage of the stream. Thus the level is commonly low in winter 

and spring but rises sharply as waves of ground water are engendered by 

successive freshets in the stream, progress down the alluvial fan, and 

then recede as the freshets wane. These features are shown by the accompanying hydrograph of well 9S-36hl. The major ground-water waves are 25 

to 30 feet high near the apex of the fan. Some recharge is accomplished 

by deep infiltration of rain and irrigation water, both in winter and 

summer.

Walla Walla Basin, Oreg
342 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Ground-water overflow occurs in three concentric zones of springs that 

are located along the lower margin of the alluvial fan, where the deposit 

of coarse gravel divides into fingers penetrating a less permeable terrace 

deposit. This overflow increases and decreases as the ground-water level 

in the fan rises and falls. Thus the overflow appears to be related to 

fluctuations in stream flow.

Ground water is pumped from the alluvial fan for irrigation, almost 

wholly in late summer, as the stream flow diminishes. This pumping for 

irrigation began about 1900. In the part of the basin that lies in Oregon 

there were about 275 irrigation wells in 1933, and the pumpage for the 

year was about 9,000 acre-feet. Neither a complete canvass of the wells 

nor accurate measurements of the pumpage has been made. Obviously a 

part of the autumn decline in ground-water level can be attributed to this 

withdrawal from wells but apparently only a small part.

PENNSYLVANIA 

By Raymond W. Sundstrom

The State-wide program of observing ground-water conditions in 

Pennsylvania was continued throughout the year of 1937 in cooperation 

with the Pennsylvania Topographic and Geologic Survey.

During the year 1,615 measurements of water level were made in 33 

wells located over the entire State. Thirty-two of these were measured 

weekly and one was equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder. 

Precipitation records were also collected at two of the observation 

stations. One well 450 feet deep near Rockwood, Somerset County (no. 115), 

was added to the program in 1937. This is the only deep well under observation in the present program.

A history and description of cooperative ground-water investigations 

in Pennsylvania, a preliminary list of average water levels, and the water 

levels up to January 1936 in well 100, Susquehanna County, were published 

in Water-Supply Paper 777 (pp. 161-169). Water-Supply Paper 817 (pp. 260- 

301) contains the 1936 records for well 100, a revised list of average 

water levels, and the well descriptions and complete water-level measurements for all wells under observation at the end of 1936.

I/

A report by Lohman describing the ground-water resources of northeastern Pennsylvania was published in 1937. Plate 4 of this report shows 

hydrographs of eight of the observation wells included in the State-wide 

program. Figure 3 correlates the water-level fluctuations in well 72, 

Schuylkill County (well 913 in the State report) with the local precipitation.

S/

An article by the same author correlates the abnormally high stage

of the water table in Pennsylvania in March 1936 with the peculiar combination of weather conditions that produced the record-breaking floods in the 

same month. It is illustrated by hydrographs of the weekly average water 

levels in all observation wells and by the continuous record during part

of 1936 of well 100 at Montrose, Susquehanna County.

$/

An article by Ashmead, published in 1937, is of interest in showing

the large quantities of ground water pumped annually from the anthracite 

mines of northeastern Pennsylvania.

348 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

The weekly average water levels for the entire period of record, 

November 1931 through December 1937, and the average monthly precipitation 

for the State for the same period are shown in figure 13 . As shown on 

the hydrograph there were no outstanding variations from normal fluctuations of ground water during 1937. The average annual range in fluctuation 

of average weekly water levels in the observation wells for the past 6 

years was 5.60 feet. The range for 1937 was 5.89 feet, which is nearly 

the same as the 6-year average. The maximum range was 7.87 feet in 1936, 

and the minimum range was 3.85 feet in 1934. The average of the water 

levels for 1937 was 13.67 feet above the assumed datum planes, which is 

0.86 foot above the average since the observation-well program was begun, 

in 1931.

The ground-water levels were rather high during January, February, 

March, and April, 1937. During January the precipitation was 3.08 inches 

greater than the monthly normal for the past 50 years. This brought the 

water levels up to an average of nearly 16.50 feet above the assumed datum 

planes. In February there was a small deficiency in precipitation, and 

the water levels declined to an average of about 14 feet. Rains in late 

February and during March held the water levels to averages between 14 and 

15 feet, although there was a deficiency of precipitation during March of 

1.50 inches. In April the precipitation was 2.09 inches above normal, 

which brought the average of the water levels up to 16.65 feet, the highest 

for the year.

In May the water levels started to decline, and they continued to 

decline until about the middle of October, except for temporary rises 

produced by rains in June and August. The lowest average for the year 

was 10.76 feet, .on October 9. Heavy rains in October again raised the 

water levels, and at the end of the year they were about as high as at 

the beginning of the year.

An example of the great effect that very heavy precipitation may have 

on the ground-water levels is afforded by the record of well 100, at Montrose, Susquehanna County, and the precipitation records at this well. 

On October 23, 1937, a rain of 3.87 inches caused a rise of 5.37 feet in 

the water level. Prior to this rain the water level was 11.42 feet above 

the assumed datum, which was only 0.05 foot above the lowest stage for the 

year. In less than 24 hours, however, the water level had risen to 16.79 

feet above the assumed datum, which was within 0.34 foot of the highest 

stage for the year.

The table of weekly average water levels does not include the deep 

well near Rookwood (well 115, Somerset County). None of the wells for 

which records are given in this table is affected by pumping. The water 

levels in all wells are given in feet above the assumed datum planes.

TIGER RIVER AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Flshel and J. M. Terry

I/ 

The observation well program In the Tiger River area In Spartanburg

and Greenville Counties, S. C., was continued In 1937 by the Geological 

Survey In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, T. S. Bule, 

project manager. Water-level measurements were made In 26 wells during 

the year. A water-stage recorder was operated on well 3 from January 1 

to October 31, and two other recorders were operated on other wells for 

short periods. Approximately 850 measurements were made during the year 

ending December 31, 1937.

Wells 3, 8, 19, and 39 were used for domestic purposes during 1937 In 

addition to wells 10, 17, 18, 31, and 32 which were reported In WaterSupply Paper 817 as being used. Well 3 was used only during November and 

December. Well 14 was discontinued as an observation well In June. Well 

40, which was started In 1936, Is included for the first time In this 

report. The average water levels for 1937 were obtained by averaging the 

water levels In 17 wells--!, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 33, 34, 35, 36, 

37, 38, and 40.

The accompanying Illustration gives the average height of the water 

levels above arbitrary datum planes of the wells In the Tiger River area 

from July 1934 to January 1, 1938. The data for the part of the Illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 1937, were taken 

from Water-Supply Paper 817.

The- annual precipitation In the Tiger River area Is about 50 Inches. 

It was about 38 Inches In 1933, 46 Inches In 1934, 35 Inches In 1935, 70 

Inches In 1936, and 53 Inches In 1937.

The water-level measurements were started In the spring of 1934, at 

which time the water levels were at a low stage as a result of the low 

precipitation during 1933 and the first part of 1934. The precipitation 

for the year 1934 was only about 4 Inches below normal, but the heaviest 

precipitation was during the last half of the year, when normally no 

ground-water recharge occurs. The precipitation during the last half of 

the year Is usually required to meet the needs of the vegetation or to

I/ Water levels and artesian pressure In observation wells In the 

United States In 1936: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 817, pp. 

302-312, 1937.

Figure 14.-Average height of water levels, in feet above datum, in wells 

in the Tiger River area, in Spartanburg and Greenville Counties, S. C.

replenish the soil moisture deficiency caused by the vegetation. The low 

precipitation in 1935 produced an average rise of the water levels of only 

about 1.5 feet in the first half of the year but by the end of 1935 the 

water levels had receded to about the same stage as at the beginning of 

the year.

The precipitation was about 12 inches during January 1936, 5 inches 

during February, 6.5 inches during March, and 10 inches during April, 

making the precipitation for the 4-month period about 17 inches above 

normal. The water levels rose in response to the heavy precipitation an 

average of about 4.5 feet by Nay 18, reaching an average stage of nearly 

3.5 feet higher than at any previous time during the period of record. 

The water levels declined from Nay 18 to October 5 and then remained 

rather steady until the end of the year. The water levels on January 1, 

1937, averaged 1.61 feet lower than on May 18, 1936, 3 feet higher than 

on January 1, 1936, and 3.27 feet higher than on January 1, 1935.

The precipitation during January 1937 was more than 6 inches above 

normal. This high precipitation together with normal precipitation in 

February caused the water levels to rise to a higher stage during the 

spring of 1937 than the high stage in 1936. The water levels rose an 

average of 2.29 feet from January 1 to April 5, 1937. The water levels 

in response to nearly normal precipitation declined gradually until the 

end of the year. They averaged 3.02 feet lower on January 1, 1933, than 

on April 5, 1937, 0.73 foot lower than on January 1, 1937, 2.34 feet 

higher than on January 1, 1936, and S.54 feet higher than on January 1, 

1935.

CITY OP HURON 

By A. N. Sayre

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

city well field at Huron, South Dakota, which was begun In 1934, was continued'by the city authorities In 1937. Water level measurements In gage 

hole no. 1 and pumpage data for the period before 1937 are given In WaterSupply Paper 817. The water levels and pumpage data given below are interpolated from a graph furnished by D. I. Sears, city manager of Huron.

Since 1934 .the city water supply for Huron has been derived partly 

from reservoirs on the James River and partly from the city well field 

about 4 miles west of Huron.

The city supply wells were developed In the late summer and fall of 

1934 and were pumped for different lengths of time at varying rates. For 

several weeks after they were developed there was no pumping, and on Oct. 

27, 1934, the water level In the observation well was 7.2 feet below the 

surface. The wells were connected to the city water mains and water was 

pumped from them from November 16 to December 31, during which period the 

estimated average daily pumpage was 400,000 gallons. On December 29, 1934, 

the water level In the observation well had declined to 19.6 feet below the 

surface. The wells were pumped from January 1 to July 26, 1935, except 

for the periods April 12 to May 2 and July 20 to 24j the total pumpage was 

126.5 million gallons. On July 16 the water level was 35.6 feet below the 

surface. The wells were not pumped again until November 22 and by November 

18 the water level had risen to 11.5 feet. Prom November 22 to December 31, 

1935, the wells supplied 20.1 million gallons of water, and the water level 

on December 31 was, 20.2 feet. Prom January 1 to May 20, 1936, the wells 

supplied 90.9 million gallons of water. Prom May 21 to November 4 there 

were several periods In which the wells were pumped but the major part of 

the supply was taken from the James River. On October 31 the water level 

In the observation well was 13.3 feet. The city supply was again taken 

from the wells from November 4 to December 31; a total of 28.7 million 

gallons was pumped during this period. On December 31, 1936, the water 

level was 20.7 feet.

SOUTH DAKOTA 373

Prom January 1 to May 12, 1937, the wells supplied 73.1 million gallons 

and on May 1 the water level was 25.0 feet. By October 16 it had risen to 

12.2 feet. Prom October 26 to December 31 a total of 36.5 million gallons 

of water was pumped from the wells. On December 25, 1937, the water level 

was 23.2 feet below the surface, which was 2.5 feet lower than on December 

31, 1936, and 3 feet lower than on December 31, 1935.

Measurements of water levels in the Auction jsvenue "wet well" and

!/

the Central Avenue well in Memphis were continued during 1937 by the 

district engineer in Chattanooga. Automatic water-stage recorders were 

maintained on both wells, and average daily water levels were determined 

from the recorder charts. The water levels are given in feet above an 

arbitrary datum.

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By S, P. Turner

The state-side program of water-level measurements in wells in Texas 

that is being carried on In connection with the detailed investigation of 

ground-water conditions in various parts of the State was continued in 

1937 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the State Board 

of Water Engineers. This cooperation was begun in 1929 in the Winter 

Garden area and in Somervell County, and it was planned that eventually 

investigations of the occurrence of ground water would be made in each 

county in the State. The work completed or in progress prior to 1937 has 

been described in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817 and in the reports 

referred to therein.

The investigation in the Houston district was continued in 1937. 

Data on pumpage from wells In the area were collected and water-level 

measurements were made in wells in Harris, Galveston, Waller and Montgomery Counties.

New developments of ground-water supplies for industrial use at 

Pasadena, east of Houston, increased the average daily supply pumped from 

wells in the area by about 20 million gallons or about 40 percent. As 

shown by measurements, the effect of this increased pumpage was evident 

in lower water levels over a large area. Between March and October 1936 

water levels declined about 40 feet near the new wells, but between October 

1937 and March 1938 there was a rise of about 9 feet. At greater distances 

from the new wells the effects were much smaller. A mimeographed pamphlet 

entitled "Progress report on the ground-water resources of the Houston 

district, Texas," by W. N. White, S. P. Turner, and Penn Livingston, giving 

detailed information, was released in June 1937 by the Texas State Board 

of Water Engineers.

The investigations in the El Paso area, begun in 1935, were continued 

In 1937, pumpage data and water-level measurements in wells In the area 

being collected at monthly intervals. A report entitled "Geology and 

ground-water resources of the El Paso, Texas, area", by A. H. Sayre and 

Penn Livingston, was released in manuscript form for public inspection 

and may be consulted in the offices of the Geological Survey, Washington, 

D. C., and the State Board of Water Engineers, Austin, Tex.

The state-wide Inventory of wells, begun In 1935 under the direction 

of S. P. Turner, with funds allocated by the Works Progress Administration, 

was continued In 1937. Records of wells, drillers' logs, water-level 

measurements, water analyses, and map showing location of wells were 

released In mimeographed form for each of the following counties: Andrews, 

Austin, Bailey, Brazorla, Burleson, Coleman, Colorado, Comal, Dalian, Eastland, Ector, Poard, Port Bend, Freestone, Glllesple, Glasscock, Gregg, 

Guadalupe, Hale, Howard, Karnes, Knox, Lamb, Lee, Leon, Lubbock, Midland, 

Nacogdoches, Panola, Potter, Randall, Rusk, Shelby, Smith, Stephens, and 

Swlsher. Periodic water-level measurements were made by W. 0. George, 

G. H. Cromack, and B. A. Barnes, under the direction of Mr. Turner, in a 

large number of these counties.

An Investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of the 

Lufkin area, Including Angelina County and parts of Nacogdoches, Cherokee, 

and San Augustine Counties, was made by J. P. Heuser, under the supervision 

of A. N. Sayre and W. N. White. A manuscript report on the results of this 

Investigation has been released for public Inspection In the offices of the 

Federal Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., and of the State Board of 

Water Engineers, Austin, Tex.

An Investigation of the geology and ground-water supplies of the Big 

Spring area In Howard County was begun by Penn Llvlngston and R. R. Bennett.

W. N. White began an Investigation of the ground-water resources of a 

large part of the High Plains In the Panhandle of Texas, with the assistance 

of Joe W. Lang and W. L. Broadhurst. During the year water-level measurements were made in wells in the following counties: Andrews, Bailey, 

Castro, Cockran, Crosby, Dallam, Dawson, Deaf Smith, Ector, Gaines, Hale, 

Hansford, Hemphill, Hockley, Howard, Lamb, Lloyd, Luffock, Lynn, Martin, 

Midland, Ochiltree, Farmer, Potter, Randall, Roberts, Sherman, Swisher, 

Terry.

Systematic measurements of ground-water levels were continued In 

cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service in their Elm Creek and Deer 

Creek areas near Temple.

In the following tables measurements not preceded by plus sign indicate depths to water below measuring point} measurements preceded by plus 

sign Indicate height of water above measuring point.

El Paso County 

By A. K. Sayre

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

El Paso and the collection of data on the pumpage of water from wells in 

the area, which was begun in 1935 by the Federal Geological Survey in 

cooperation with the State Board of Water Engineers and the City of El 

Paso was continued in 1937 by Robert Colvin under the direction of A. N. 

Sayre. At the end of the year periodic measurements of water levels were 

being made on 35 wells, of which one was equipped with an automatic water 

stage recorder. Many of the wells are pumped from time to time, and 

occasionally the water level given is the pumping level rather than the 

static level. A few of the wells are not pumped or are rarely pumped. 

These are wells 51, 22, 21, 53, 41, 64, 76, 112, 130, and 136. Most of 

the water levels in these wells, however, except those located a considerable distance from pumped wells, are affected by the pumpage to a considerable extent.

The pumpage in the El paso area began about 1904. It is estimated 

that in 1906 the pumpage amounted to about 500,000 gallons a day. The 

pumpage amounted to an average of about 15,400,000 gallons a day in 1935, 

15,700,000 in 1936, and 16,700,000 gallons a day in 1937. The smallest 

daily pumpage occurs in January, the average daily pumpage for that month
408 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

being about 11,000,000 gallons in 1936 and 12,200,000 gallons in 1937. 

The largest daily pumpage occurs in July. In 1936 it averaged 21,500,000 

gallons, and in 1937, 21,600,000 gallons a day.

The highest and lowest water levels recorded for each well are given. 

In these figures the static water level is given, not the pumping level.

in El Paso County, 1935-38

Water levels in Howard County, Texas

By Perm Livingston

Measurements of water levels in wells in Howard County were begun 

in well 65 of the city of Big Spring on June 24, 1935. Measurements were 

begun on several other city wells during the following year, and daily 

measurements of the water levels in some of them have been continued to 

date. For the most part, the wells that have been measured daily are' close
TEXAS 447

to heavily pumped areas and reflect directly the rate of pumping from the 

city well fields. The pumping from these well fields has been shifted 

frequently from field to field, and no record has been kept by the city 

of the amount or rate of pumping. It is very difficult, therefore, to 

interpret the meaning of the changes in water levels for each field 

separately. At the C11©- Park the water level fell about 10 feet during

1936 and about 30 feet more during 1937. In the "Section 17" well field 

the water level fell several feet during-1936, but it recovered during

1937 to nearly the level of the winter of 1936-1937. In the "Section 33" 

well field the water level fell about 5 feet during 1936 and about 10 feet 

more during 1937. Considering all three fields together, there has been 

a substantial lowering of the water levels during these 2 years. The 

average metered consumption as shown by the records of the water department 

was only about 20,000 gallons a day more for 1937 than for 1936.

Water levels in wells outside the area of direct influence from the 

pumped fields did not fluctuate appreciably during 1937.

The water levels are given in feet below the measuring point; the 

altitudes are given in feet above mean sea level; and the distances are 

in miles from the post office in Big Spring.

All measurements of depth to water from January 1936 to January 1937 

were made by employees of the Works Progress Administration unless otherwise indicated.

The distances from Big Spring of the wells as given in Water-Supply 

Paper 817 were measured from the city limits and therefore there is an 

apparent discrepancy between the two distances for each well of from a 

mile to a mile and a half.

Water levels in city of Big Spring wells 3, 6, 18, 21, 33, 30, 38, 

45, 51, and 65 are given in Water-Supply Paper 817.

ELM CREEK AND DEER CREEK AREAS OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Pishel and V. L. Austin

!

The observation-well program in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek areas,

near Temple, Tex., was continued in 1937 by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. Of the 21 wells in 

which water-level measurements were made during the year, 6 wells (4, 6, 

13, 14, 23, and 28) were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

The average water levels given in this report were obtained by 

averaging the water levels in 21 wells (4, 6-9, 11-14, 20, and 22-32). 

Five of the wells (4 and 6-9) are located in the Deer Creek drainage 

basin; the other 16 are located in the Elm Creek drainage basin.

United States in 1936: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 817, pp.

506 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Figure 15.-Average height of water levels, in feet above datum, 

in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek areas, Tex.

The illustration gives the average height of the water levels above arbitrary datum planes for the period July 1, 1934, to December 10, 1937. 

The data for the part of the illustration that applies to the period 

prior to January 1, 1937, are given in Water-Supply Paper 817.

The observation-well program was started in this area in April 1934, 

but only a few wells were measured prior to July 1. The area was severely affected by the drought in 1934 with the result that the water levels 

declined sharply from April 1934 to January 1, 1935. The precipitation 

as recorded at the Weather Bureau station at Temple amounted to 3.71 

inches from May 1 to November 1, 1934. The drought ended with 11.65 

inches of precipitation during November. There was about 3 inches of 

precipitation in February 1935, and during the month the water levels 

rose an average of about 2.0 feet. A dry March permitted a slight decline of the water levels, but about 3 inches of rain in April, 9.68 

inches in May, and 8.55 inches in June resulted in an average rise of 3.0 

feet by June 28. The precipitation was only 2.77 inches in July and 1.35 

inches in August, and the water levels declined nearly 3.0 feet during 

these months. However, 7.32 inches of precipitation i» September caused 

a rise of about 2.0 feet and 4.50 inches in December caused another 

large rise.
TEXAS 507

Low precipitation during January, February, and March 1936 permitted 

the water levels to decline an average of 2.5 feet by March 31. Precipitation amounting to 2.91 inches in April and 7.87 inches in May caused a 

rise of about 3.4 feet by June 4. The precipitation amounted to 0.11 inch 

in June, 6.52 inches in July, and 0.44 inch in August. The heavy precipitation in July was used in supplying the demands of the vegetation and replenishing the soil moisture. The water levels declined an average of 

nearly 4.0 feet from June 4 until about September 22. At this time the 

water levels reached their lowest average stage of the year, which, however, was 2.56 feet higher than the lowest average stage in 1935. Precipitation amounting to 7.94 inches in September, 4.70 inches in October, 

2.13 inches in November, and 4.51 inches in December caused an average 

rise of more than 5.0 feet by December 31.

The precipitation amounted to 0.32 inch in January 1937, 2.39 inches 

in February, and 4.06 inches in March. The ground-water replenishment 

resulting from the high precipitation in March added to the replenishment 

caused by the heavy precipitation during the last four months of 1936 > 

caused the water levels to rise by March 12 to the highest average stage 

during the period of record, an average of more than 8 feet higher than 

the lowest stage during the period of record. The water levels declined 

as a result of low precipitation in April and May, but heavy precipitation during early June caused them to rise more than a foot. The precipitation amounted to 0.58 inch in August, 1.80 inches in September, and 

2.44 inches in October. The water levels declined 5.04 feet from June 

11 to November 5. The precipitation amounted to 4.21 inches in November 

and 5.20 inches in December. The water levels rose about 1 to 2 feet 

from November 5 to December 10. Because of heavy rains and bad roads 

few water-level measurements were made after December 10. A set of 

measurements on January 3, 1938, showed that the heavy precipitation 

during late December caused the water levels to rise an average of 3.3 

feet from December 10, 1937, to January 3, 1938.

The water levels on January 3, 1938, averaged about 1.5 feet lower 

than on January 1, 1937; 0.7 foot higher than on January 1, 1936; and 

6.0 feet higher than on January 1, 1935.

By G. H. Taylor and H. E. Thomas

The ground-water investigation in the State of Utah during 1937 was

made In financial cooperation with the State engineer of Utah and followed

!/ essentially the program that was begun in 1935. The number of observa-s/ tion wells was Increased, particularly in the major ground-water areas, 

from about 360 at the end of 1936 to about 550 at the end of 1937. Twentythree recording gages were maintained on wells in Utah by the Geological 

Survey during all or a part of 1937.

Most of the records of the fluctuation of ground-water levels published herewith were obtained by the Geological Survey. A number of 

measurements in the Jordan River Valley were supplied through the courtesy 

of Mr. Geo. D. Keyser, commissioner of water supply and waterworks, Salt 

Lake City Corporation. During the later part of 1937, through the courtesy 

of Dean Geo. D. Clyde, of the Utah State Agricultural College, Everett H. 

Larson, of the Branch Agricultural College at Cedar City, furnished measurements made in numerous wells in the Beryl district. Mr. P. P. Wentz, 

Provo River water commissioner, made available a record of the water-level 

fluctuations in well (D-4-4)14abb since 1915. In connection with their 

part-time duties of maintaining recording gages, Mr. Pernlelgh Gardner 

made measurements in Cedar City Valley, Mr. Howard W. Gospill made measurements in the Mllford district, and Mr. Martin L. Skoogard made measurements 

in Parowan Valley. Messrs. Earl Lemon, of Wlllard, W. S. Lemon, of Woods 

Cross, L. T. Llddell, of Erda, Paul Martin, of Newcastle, and others have 

kindly furnished records of water levels in their own wells. The State 

engineer of Utah has collected records of many measurements of water level 

in connection with his administration of the State ground-water law, but 

only a very few of these measurements are Included In this tabulation.

The Salt Lake City Corporation continued to maintain several recordIng gages, and to make numerous measurement's In addition to those Included

«F

in this report. Some measurements of ground-water level were made by private parties in connection with litigation over water rights from Utah 

Lake, but those measurements are not available for publication at this time.

514 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Under the direction of Mr. T. H. Humpherys, the State engineer, 

determinations of the locations of wells, by land subdivisions where 

possible, throughout the State and of altitudes of benchmarks established 

at the wells were continued throughout 1937. This work is now essentially 

complete for most of the State, with the exception of some of the more 

remote or lesser developed areas. Up to March 1, 1938, about 16,700 

wells in the State had been claimed by underground water filings, and 

there remained a considerable number of unclaimed wells.

A short report, entitled "Artesian-water levels and interference 

between artesian wells in the vicinity of Lehi, Utah", was released in 

typewritten form during July 1937. Copies are on file at the offices of 

the Geological Survey in Washington, D. C., and at the Federal Building 

in Salt Lake City, Utah; at the office of the State engineer, Salt Lake 

City; at the library of the University of Utah, Salt Lake Cityj and at 

the Public Library, Lehi, Utah. This report is also to be published as 

Water-Supply Paper 836-C of the Geological Survey.

A short discussion of ground water in Utah, with charts showing 

ground-water areas in Utah, hydrographs of several wells, and explanations

of the fluctuations of the water level, is given in the Transactions of

3/ 

the American Geophysical Union.

Detailed investigations of ground-water conditions were begun during 

1937 in the Beryl district and in Cedar City Valley, both in Iron County.

A summary of the net change in ground-water level in observation wells 

in Utah in 1937 and a comparison with the net change in 1936 are given in 

the following table. This summary does not include all wells that are 

being measured periodically, because a yearly comparison of the water levels 

in some of them could not be made, and the location or some other individual 

characteristic of other wells did not justify their inclusion. Net changes 

in water level are based on measurements of the water level made during 

November and December of each year or interpolations of the position of 

the water level during those months.

I/ Area of intensive ground-water development.
UTAH 517

The ground-water levels rose substantially during 1937 in many areas 

in the southwestern part of the State, a rise which was probably caused in 

part by heavy snowfall in the first three months of the year and subsequent 

abnormal run-off in the streams in these regions. The rise in water level 

in the Milford district, Beaver County, was presumably caused by extraordinary recharge from the Beaver River, the run-off of which during 1937 

was 16 percent above that during 1936 and 37 percent above normal. Cedar 

City Valley, in Iron County, probably received abnormal recharge from Coal 

Creek, the run-off of which during 1937 was about 80 percent greater than 

during 1936; in Parowan Valley and in Central and Upper Sevier Valley the 

run-off from melting snow during 1937 was also probably well above normal.

Ground-water levels also rose considerably in areas along the western 

base of the Waaatch Range, especially in Juab, Utah, Salt Lake, and Boxelder 

Counties, continuing a rise which had been pronounced during 1936. The 

exceptionally large rise of water levels in artesian wells in Ogden Valley, 

Weber County, is believed to have resulted from the filling of the Pine 

View Reservoir, which overlies a large part of the artesian reservoir.

In six of the ground-water areas in the State the net change of water 

level in observation wells was slightly downward. In none of these areas 

has there been intensive development of ground water, and the decline has 

probably resulted not from excessive withdrawals but from natural causes. 

Most of these areas are small intermontane valleys in which the groundwater level is intimately related to stream flow. Thus, the decline in 

Morgan Valley was probably related to the flow in the Weber River, whose 

average discharge decreased from 247 second-feet in 1936 to 177 in 1937; 

and the lower levels in shallow wells in Ogden Valley correspond to a 

decrease in average discharge of the South Pork of the Ogden River from 

172 second-feet in 1936 to 109 in 1937.

The following tabulation includes all measurements of water levels in 

wells made by the Geological Survey in the State of Utah in 1937 plus a 

few measurements prior to January 1, 1937, which were not included in 

Water-Supply Paper 817. Included in the tabulation are daily water levels 

obtained by the use of 23 recording gages, about 3,850 periodic measurements made on 550 observation wells, and about 240 measurements made on 

160 wells not measured periodically. A total of about 4,100 measurements 

are tabulated, exclusive of the records from recording gages.

Measurements of depth to water and artesian pressure were made by the 

Geological Survey except as indicated. Wen3 which were found flowing were
518 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

closed 10 minutes before measurement of the pressure head. All altitudes 

given were obtained by instrumental leveling: Those in Salt Lake and 

eastern Weber Counties were determined by the Geological Survey; all others 

were determined by the State engineer.

Throughout this report the well number indicates the location by land

!/ subdivision. The numbers assigned to wells by the State engineer designate 

location by 10-acre tracts. Where the present number conflicts with that 

published in Water-Supply Paper 817, the former number is given after the 

description of the well. If, however, the number in this report differs 

only by the addition of the letter hecessary to designate the 10-acre 

tract, no change is indicated. The number of each well for which measurements were published in Water-Supply Paper 817 is preceded with an asterisk. 

For such wells, descriptive data, such as location, depth, diameter, and 

description of measuring point have been omitted except where some addition 

or correction from that published in Water-Supply Paper 817 has been made. 

The name of the town or community nearest to the location of each well is 

given immediately after the well owner's name. The number of the State 

underground water claim or of the application to appropriate underground 

water is given immediately after the county designation.

In the columns headed "Water level" the minus sign indicates depth 

to water below the measuring point, and the plus sign indicates the 

artesian pressure head.

VIRGINIA

By F. H. Klaer, Jr.

I/ 

The observation well program in Virginia was continued in 1937.

Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on the Bacon, Ross, 

Swart Stream, Swart 5, and Swart 162 wells, and measurements were made 

weekly on the other 10 wells whose records appear in Water-Supply Paper 

817. Approximately 750 individual measurements of water levels were 

made during 1937.

The accompanying map (fig. 16 ) shows the locations of 11 wells in 

Fairfax County, near Fairfax, Va. Two recording rain gages are now 

maintained in this area, one on each side of the drainage basin of the 

headwaters of Difficult Run. The Bacon rain gage, on the property of 

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

December 1934. The Manion rain gage, on the property of Mr. M. F. 

Manion, on the Lee Highway, was installed in December 1937. Two gaging 

stations have been maintained on Difficult Run, one, known as the

Beecher station, on its headwaters, established in connection with

2/ 

channel-storage studies and the other near Great Falls.

The curve in figure ISA represents the accumulative departure from 

normal precipitation from 1928 to 1937 as determined by the United States 

Weather Bureau station at Washington, D. C. The precipitation prior to 

Jan. 1, 1925 was considered normal and computations were made from that 

date. In 1925, 1926, and 1927 the precipitation was below normal, and 

by June 1928 the accumulated deficiency was about 20 inches. On the 

basis of this deficiency and the higher average water levels maintained 

during subsequent years of more normal precipitation, it is believed that 

the water levels in northern Virginia had a net decline during these 

years and stood at a relatively low stage in June 1928, when the record 

for the Ross well began. In 1930 the precipitation was the lowest of 

record and, the accumulated deficiency for the period Jan. 1, 1925, to 

March 1931, reached about 45 inches.

The trend of water levels In northern Virginia Is shown by the 

hydrographs of the Rosa, Bacon, Halls Hill School, and Glendale Farm 

wella (fig. 17). Prom June 1928 to March 1931 the trend of the water 

level In the Rosa well was generally downward except for moderate 

seasonal fluctuations. The water level declined continuously from the 

spring of 1930 until March 1931, when It rose slightly. The summer of 

1931 was favorable for replenishment of the ground-water reservoir, and 

there was a small net rise of the water level. By January 1932 the 

water level In the Ross well stood somewhat more than a foot higher than 

at the lowest stage In March 1931.

Measurements of water levels were begun in the Bacon well in August 

1931 and In the Halls Hill School well in October 1931, when the wells 

were doubtless still at low stages. More nearly normal precipitation 

during 1932 and consequent considerable recharge raised the water levelsIn all three of the wells. Abundant precipitation In the first part of 

1933 and heavy recharge raised the water levels notably. By the end of 

May 1933 the water level in the Bacon well had risen about 12 feet atove

the low level of the fall of 1931 and had reached the highest stage of 

record; the water level in the Ross well stood about 8 feet above the 

low level of the fall of 1931 and about 9-| feet above the low level of 

the spring of 1931 and had also reached the highest stage during the 

period of record; and the water level in the Halls Hill School well had 

riaen more than 14 feet above its low level of 1931. The excess precipitation of about 12 inches during 1932 and 1933 caused complete recovery 

of the water levels from the minimum levels of 1930 and 1931.

Prom the middle of 1933 to the spring of 1935, there were large seasonal fluctuations. During the spring of 1935 the water levels rose from 

3 to 5 feet and the Halls Hill School well reached its highest stage of 

record. However, declines of 6 to 7 feet occurre'd during the summer.

There was good recovery in the spring of 1936, but a deficiency in 

precipitation of about 7 inches from May to October caused a lowering of 

the water levels to stages of 1 to 2 feet below the low stages of 1935. 

In December 1936 all three of the wells were at their lowest stages since 

the recovery from the drought of 1930. The water levels in the Bacon and 

Halls Hill School wells still stood about 6 and 8 feet respectively above 

this low level of 1931; but the water level in the Ross well was only l£ 

feet above the low level of 1931.

At the beginning of 1937 water levels were relatively low. The comparatively heavy rains of 7.83 inches in January caused rises in the 

different observation wells of from 2 to 4 feet. The Ross, Halls Hill 

School, and Bacon wells continued to show higher stages throughout the 

early part of February even though precipitation during this month was 

small. A rise of about 2 feet in April was due to 6.85 inches of rain, 

most of which came during the last week of the month.

In most of the wells the water levels showed relatively slow declines 

from May until October, ranging from about 3 to 4jt feet in this period. 

There was 5.23 inches of rainfall in June and 6.70 inches in August. A 

rain of 4.71 inches during the last week of August caused some rise In 

all the wells, after which the water levels dropped off rapidly.

The heavy rains of October (8.81 inches) caused rises in the water 

levels ranging from l£ to 3 feet. Throughout November the water levels 

remained about the same and during December they declined an average of 

about 1 foot.

On January 1, 1938, the average of the water levels in the Bacon, 

Burke, Halls Hill School, and Ross wells stood generally about 3.2 feet 

higher than the average water level of the four wells on January 1, 1937, 

showing a substantial replenishment to the ground-water supply.

PALOUSE RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Fishel, J. P. Bonner, and J. E. Anderaon

!/

The observation-well program in the Palouse River area, in Whitman

County, Wash., and Latah County, Idaho, was continued in 1937 by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, W. A. Rookie, 

regional conservator. Water-level measurements were made in 52 wells during 

the year. Wells 4, 26, 28, 39, 40, 46 and 6S were discontinued during the 

year as observation wells, and well 23A put under observation. Forty-six 

wells were being measured at the close of the year. Due to changes in the 

measuring points of the wells of the Soil Erosion Experiment Station, the 

date of which has not yet been definitely ascertained, the water-level 

measurements for these wells have been omitted for this year. The waterlevel measurements were made by P. Heistuman and H. DeMotts, of the Soil 

Conservation Service. About 2,100 measurements were made during the year 

ending December 31, 1937.

The average water levels were obtained by averaging the water levels 

in 25 wells (l, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 20, 20A, 21, 23, 24, 

26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 35, 36, and 37). The water-level measurements of 

wells 4, 7, 26, and 28 were included in the averages up to the time observation of them was discontinued.

The average trend of the water levels for the period of observation 

is shown In figure 19 . The data for the part of the illustration that 

applies to the period prior to January 1, 1937, were taken from Water-Supply 

Paper 817.

The water levels In 25 wells rose an average of about 1.5 feet from 

the beginning of the measurements, November 6, 1934, to January 1, 1935, 

and rose about 3.8 feet more during that January. This trend continued 

until April 22, when the water levels reached their highest average stage 

for the period of record (November 1934 to December 31, 1937). This 

average stage was about 5.8 feet higher than on January 1, 1935. The 

water levels declined an average of 8.0 feet by October 8, when they were 

at the lowest stage for the year. They rose and declined intermittently 

for the rest of the year and were about 0.7 foot higher on January 1, 1936, 

than on October 8, 1935.

The water levels rose an average of about 5.5 feet from January 1 to 

March 17, 1936, when they reached the highest average stage during 1936, 

which was 1.88 feet lower than the high stage reached In April 1935.

628 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1937

Figure 19.-Average height of water levels, in feet above 

datum, in wells in the Palouse River area, Wash.

There was a gradual average decline of nearly 7 feet from March 17 to 

October 13, but the water levels recovered about 0.6 foot by January 1, 

1937.

The general annual cycle of fluctuations of the water levels in 1935 

and 1936 was repeated in 1937. The water levels rose an average of nearly 

7 feet from January 1 to April 20, 1937, at which time they stood about 

0.7 foot higher than the high stage of 1936 but more than 1 foot lower 

than the high stage of 1935. They declined an average of nearly 7.5 feet 

by October 1 and were then only 0.13 foot higher than the low stage of 

1936. They recovered about 2.5 feet by January 1, 1938.

The water levels on January 1, 1938, averaged about 1.7 feet higher 

than on January 1, 1937$ 0.8 foot higher than on January 1, 1936; and 0.5 

foot lower than on January 1, 1935.

CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WISCONSIN 

By G. T. Owen

The Wisconsin Conservation Department continued an investigation of

the shallow ground-water resources of its forest protection districts In

I/ 

central and northern Wisconsin during 1937. In this period depths to

water and yields were measured once on some 1,500 temporary four-inch test 

wells. Records of these tests will be filed in map and report form at 

Forest Protection Headquarters, Tomahawk, Wis. Although Intended primarily 

for use In the suppression of forest fires, It is believed that these 

records will also constitute a valuable source of basic data which can 

be utilized In future studies and developments of ground-water supplies 

in the mapped areas. The Federal Government cooperated In the investigation through the Civilian Conservation Corps program.

Periodic measurements of the water levels in four observatlpn wells 

in central and northeastern Wisconsin were continued throughout 1937.

These wells are no. 4, Langlade County; no. 5, Marinette County, no. 8,

2/

Oneida County; and no. 9, Adams County. An automatic water-level recorder was Installed on no. 4 in October 1937, and was operated on this well 

during the remainder of the year.

Following the plan to gradually add observation wells to the program, 

five new wells were sunk and put Into operation during this period. Like 

their predecessors, the new wells are 8 inches in diameter and are cased 

with No. 14 galvanized sheet-Iron well pipe. Each well is equipped with 

a float-tape gage and a shelter house. Measuring points are the pointers 

on the float tape gages. The height of the pointer above land surface and 

above the top of the casing has been measured in each Instance to insure a 

reasonable degree of permanence In the altitude of the measuring point. 

The gages are mounted on levelling tables in such a manner that quick adjustment to a constant height of the measuring point above the casing can 

be made.

The new wells range from 20 to 45 feet in depth, and they obtain their 

water from glacial drift. Three wells, nos. 2, 3, and 7, reflect watertable conditions. The water in well 6 was under a hydrostatic head of 

7.6 feet at the time the well was sunk. The aquifer tapped by well 1 is 

overlain by dense, relatively impervious glacial lake clay, but no pressure 

head was evident during the sinking of the casing. None of the wells is

in a recognized cone of influence resulting from the pumping of nearby wells.

The observation well gages are read at specified intervals by rangers 

of the forest protection personnel. Interval of measurement ranges from 

daily to weekly, depending upon the degree and rapidity of fluctuation of 

water level in the individual well. Records of the individual measurements 

are on file with the division of ground water, United States Geological 

Survey, and with the Wisconsin Geological Survey. These organizations have 

cooperated informally in the program. Significant stages of the water 

levels in each of the nine wells now under observation are given in the 

following tables.

At the end of 1937 systematic measurements were being made of the 

water levels in nine observation wells in the Wisconsin Conservation 

Department's forest protection districts in central and northern Wisconsin. 

Records of the water levels in wells, 4, 5, and 9 cover a period of at 

least 2 years; those of well 8 cover a period of 18 months; and those of 

wells 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 cover a period of at least 6 months.

Records of daily precipitation either at the observation well site 

or at the nearest meteorologic station are available for the entire gaging 

period of wells 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Part time precipitation data is 

available for the gaging periods of wells 2 and 3. Average annual and 

monthly precipitation for the period 1910-30, and average annual and monthly precipitation for the period 1931-34 have been tabulated for the general 

localities of wells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. Monthly precipitation during 

1935 and 1936 has also been tabulated for the sites or general localities 

of these seven observation wells.

The observations have extended over too short a period to permit interpretation. However, the records of wells 1 and 9 show that water levels 

rose during 1937 in the localities of these wells, and the records of wells 

4, 5, and 8 show that water levels in their localities declined in this 

period.

The chief significance of the records obtained thus far are indications 

that major recharge of ground water in central and northern Wisconsin occurs 

in the spring, that the amount of precipitation received in the period 

December to June is a critical factor in ground-water levels (with the 

possible exception of those ground-water bodies occurring within 5 feet 

of the surface), and that fall replenishment, while secondary in magnitude, 

is important in maintaining or raising ground-water levels.

1937. On that date the depth to water below the measuring point was 

33.40 feet. Observers, James Killoren and William Johnson. Precipitation records for the entire year of 1937 were obtained from a meteorologic station located about 1 mile from the well. During the months of 

August and September precipitation amounted to 11.61 inches out of a 

total of 30.76 inches for the entire year.

depth to water below the measuring point was 41.70 feet. Observer, 

Edward Nutt. Well is in a large outwash plain that was subsequently 

submerged in a glacial lake. Impervious glacial lake clays occur at and 

near the surface of the plain, but they are not continuous in extent nor 

uniform in thickness. Precipitation is recorded at the well site, but 

since a complete record was not obtained the data are omitted from the 

table.

the depth to water was 14.00 feet below the measuring point. Observer, 

Michael Burke. Well is near south edge of a large plain of sandy glacial 

outwash characterized by a high water table and highly pervious soils. 

The early measurements show two periods of slight recharge in February and 

March that were probably induced by temporary thaws. The rise in water

Well 3, Vllas County Continued

level from the low stage of 9.91 feet on April 5 to the high stage of 

10.56 feet on April 28 was In response to subnormal spring precipitation. 

Precipitation between May and September was utilized entirely by evaporation, transpiration, and run-off, and the water level In the well declined 

steadily to a low stage of 8.58 feet recorded on September 1. During the 

ensuing 10 days the water level rose 0.40 foot In response to 3.01 inches 

of rain; this rise was followed on September 12 by a drop In level amountIng to 0.97 foot. During the remainder of the year the dominant trend of 

the water level was slowly but steadily upward.

Well 4, Langlade County

SW-i sec. 20, T. 31 N. f R. 11 E., at Antlgo Ranger Station. Measuring point, pointer on float-tape gage, 4.44 feet above land surface. 

The depths to water have been converted to heights above an arbitrary 

datum, 10 feet below the water level on December 10, 1935. On that date 

the depth to water below the measuring point was 20.11 feet. Observer, 

Arnold Buettner. Between December 23, 1936, and January 9, 1937, a complete thawing of the ground accompanied by unseasonable rains caused a 

rise of 0.29 foot In the water level. This replenishment more than offset the decline In stage produced by a deficiency of precipitation earlier 

In 1936. The lowest level reached In 1937 prior to spring replenishment 

was 9.69 feet on March 3, which compares with 9.51 feet on March 11, 1936. 

Recharge during March, April, and May 1937, raised the water level 2.64 

feet as compared with 2.30 feet In 1936. The highest stage recorded In 

1937 was 12.33 feet on May 8 as compared with the high stage of 11.81 

feet on May 16, 1936. Thus the water level at the beginning of the growing season of 1937 was 0.52 foot higher than for the same period in 1936. 

Between May and September 1937 the water level In well 4 remained above 

the level of the corresponding period In 1936. However, the difference 

In level gradually decreased owing to deficiency in precipitation. By 

the end of 1937 the precipitation was 5.86 inches less than the rainfall 

of 1936 and 7 Inches less than the average annual precipitation at this 

location for the period 1910-30. The 1937 water level measurements show 

that no recharge occurred as a result of fall precipitation, which was 

only slightly below average; the precipitation during this period was 

probably utilized to satisfy the deficit in soil moisture produced by the 

subnormal rainfall of the preceding months. As a result the water level 

In the observation well declined to 9.59 feet on January 1, 1938, 0.41 

foot lower than on January 1, 1937.

Ground water supplies In the Antlgo area are being developed for 

Irrigation of farm crops, and considerable pumping was done during the 

summer of 1937. Although direct proof Is lacking, it Is possible that 

the draft Imposed on the ground water supplies by the Irrigation projects 

may have been a factor In the decline of the water t.able during 1937.

Well 5, Marinette County

sec. 22, T. 34 N., R. 18 E., at Athelstane State forestry camp. 

Measuring point, pointer on the float-tape gage, 4.57 feet above the land 

surface. The depths to water have been converted to heights above an arbitrary datum, 10 feet below the water level on October 27, 1935. On that 

date the depth to water below the measuring point was 17.02 feet. Observations under direction of M. N. Stadjuhar. As a result of subnormal precipitation in 1936 the water level in well 5 declined to a stage 0.60 foot 

lower in December 1936 than in December 1935. A complete thawing of the 

ground accompanied by rains between December 23, 1936, and. January 10, 1937, 

produced & rise of 0.15 foot. Replenishment in March, 'April, and May, 1937, 

amounted to 2.70 feet and high atage of 11.96 feet was recorded on May 13. 

On this date the water level stood 0.80 foot higher than on May 28, 1936,when 

the spring high was reached. Records obtained from a meteorologic station 

about 15 miles from the well site show that the precipitation in May, June, 

July, and August, 1937, amounted to 6.95 inches, between 6 and 7 inches 

below normal for the period. Precipitation during September, October, and 

November totaled 9.18 inches, 1^ inches above normal. I/

The water level in the well was not raised by the precipitation in 

September, much of which probably went to restore the deficit in soil 

moisture produced by the subnormal rainfall of the preceding four months. 

The October and November precipitation, however, produced brief rises in 

the water table ranging from 0.01 to 0.27 foot. These rises did not offset the declines caused by the subnormal precipitation, which amounted to 

about 4 inches by the end of the year, and the water level dropped to 9.28 

feet by January 4, 1938, as compared with 9.39 feet recorded on January 5, 

1937.

Well 6, Price County

i sec. 24, T. 40 N., R. 1 W., at Park Falls ranger station. 

Measuring point, pointer on the float-tape gage, 3.98 feet above land 

surface and 0.56 foot above top of casing. The depths to water have 

been converted to heights above an arbitrary datum, 10 feet below the 

water level on March 7, 1937. On this date the depth to water below the 

measuring point was 6.80 feet. Observer, A. J. Reitmeyer. The well is 

at the base of valley scarp cut in ground moraine of gravelly, fine 

sandy loam. It taps water in a bed of coarse sand and gravel underlying 

thin beds of sandy clay and stony clay "hardpan" which are relatively 

impervious and which constitute a positive confining bed. At the time 

the observation well was constructed the water in the aquifer was under 

a hydrostatic head of 7.6 feet, which is probably produced by the hydrostatic pressure exerted by ground water in connecting porous formations 

in the adjacent upland or in swamps a short distance to the east.

Precipitation is recorded by a rain gage at the'well site. Rainfall 

of more than 0.25 inch usually causes a marked rise of the water level in 

the well within 24 hours, and several successive rains of less than 0.25 

inch are often reflected either by small rises or by a stationary height 

of water level on the day following the last rain. In general, the fluctuations of water level in this well are rapid and of considerable magnitude.

gravelly outwash plain in the valley of the Namekagon River. The plain 

ranges from li to 3 miles in width and is bordered by a sandy terminal 

moraine. The outwash is characterized by a high water-table, and the 

ground water in it furnishes the stream with a considerable part of its 

flow as shown by the numerous springs along the banks.

spruce swamp in which the water table is only 2 to 3 feet below the land 

surface. The water levels in the well respond quickly to rain and fluctuate rapidly in a fairly wide range. Because of these characteristics, 

monthly averages rather than the levels on fixed dates are used as indices 

to ground-water conditions at this gaging station.

Measuring point, pointer on the float-tape gage, 4.65 feet above the land 

surface. Depths to water level have been converted to heights above an 

arbitrary datum, 10 feet below the water level on September 12, 1935. 

On that date the depth to water level below the measuring point was 13.63 

feet. Observer, Earl Koch. Previous measurements of the water levels in 

well 9, which were reported in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817, show that 

the average stage of the water level in December 1936 was 2.80 feet lower 

than in December 1935. This drop in water level was the result of a 

drought that prevailed in the locality of the observation well throughout 

most of 1936. During 1937 precipitation at the gaging station in the 

period January to June was about half an inch above normal, from June to 

September about 2 inches below normal, and from September to December 

about 1 inch above normal. The slight excesses of precipitation in the 

spring and fall restored slightly the ground-water level, and the average 

level in December 1937 was 7.40 feet as compared with the average level 

in December 1936 of 6.50 feet.

COON CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Fishel and C. C. Yonkers

2/ 

The observation well program in the Coon Creek area in Vernon, Monroe, and La Crosse Counties, Wis., was continued in 1937 by the Geological 

Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, M.- F. Schweers, 

project manager. Water-level measurements were made about weekly in 14 

wells during the year. Two automatic water-stage recorders were in operation in the area during 1937, one on well 8 and the other on well 9. 

Approximately 700 measurements were made during the year ending December 

31, 1937. The measurements were made by H. S. Peterson and C. J. Veum, 

of the Soil Conservation Service.

The measurements of 10 wells (2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) are 

used for computing the average water levels for the year 1937. The measurements of 4 wells (1, 5, 6, and 7) are included in the following table but 

were not used in computing the average water levels because it is believed 

that these wells do not represent normal water-table conditions. The illustration gives the average height of the water levels above arbitrary datum 

planes from November 1934 to January 1, 1938. The data used in drawing 

the part of the illustration that applies to the period prior to January 1, 

1937, are given in Water-Supply Paper 817.

Most of the ground-water recharge in this area during the period of 

record has taken place during the first half of the year. The low precipitation during the first half of 1934 produced little recharge, and although the precipitation for the year was above normal the water levels 

were at»a low stage on January 1, 1935, and further declined on an average 

0.2 foot by February 7. Heavy precipitation during the spring and early 

summer of 1935 caused the water levels to rise from the lowest average 

stage during the period of record, which was in February, to a stage on 

August 8 which was the highest during the period of record. The net rise 

during this period was 231 feet. The water levels declined 1.68 feet from 

August 8 to March 5, 1936, and then rose 1.5 feet during March. Owing to 

light rainfall during the summer of 1936, the water levels declined on an 

average about 1.6 feet from April 1 to September 1. They changed very 

little during the remainder of 1936.

The water levels declined about 0.2 foot from January 1, 1937, to 

February 18 and then rose 0.38 foot by March 5. Heavy precipitation during

March caused the water levels to rise an average of 1.49 feet during March.

Figure 20.-Average height of water levels, in feet above datum, 

in vrells in Coon Creek area, Wis.

The water levels averaged only 0.08 foot lower on April 1, 1937, than 

on August 8, 1935, at which time they were at the highest average stage 

during the period of record. They declined with practically no interruption 1.90 feet during the period April 1, 1937, to the end of the year.

The water levels have been at about the same average stage at the 

beginning of each year. The water levels on January 1, 1938, averaged 0.29 

foot lower than on January 1, 1937; 0.26 foot lower than on January 1, 1936; 

and 0.14 foot higher than on January 1, 1935, They were slightly lower on 

January 1, 1938, than at any other time since March 1, 1935.
