WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1938

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 wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams 

during periods of fair weather. Water levels In wells register the stages 

of these natural reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies 

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

irrigation, or for industrial uses and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in 

pressures recorded on flowing wells may also indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

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

levels and artesian pressures, the first, second, and third of which were 

published as Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840, respectively. This 

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

supplies of those parts of the country that it covers. The present report 

gives records of water levels or artesian pressures in observation wells 

in 32 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 1938. 

For the most part, however, this volume gives current records on wells whose 

previous records have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 

840. If complete descriptions of the wells are given in those papers, the 

well numbers only or the well 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, chiefly areas of heavy pumping. In Indiana, Nebraskai, New Jersey, 

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

are being carried on, although some parts of even these States have very 

few observation wells. As opportunity is afforded and as cooperation is

1
2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

obtained, the project will be developed into a systematic Nation-wide program 

that will provide reliable and continuing basic data on ground-water levels 

and artesian pressures of all the principal water-bearing 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 gome are given in height above an 

assumed datum plane. As the measuring points on some of the observation 

wells were changed in 1938, the records may not be directly comparable with 

those in the previous annual volumes; but changes in measuring points 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.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this 

report are due Misses Martha M. Evans, Elizabeth M. Hill, and Catherine A. 

O'Neill, who typed the offset copy; and to Miss Mary P. Bugbee and 

G. Q. Shepard, who edited the report.

General summary of changes in ground-water level in 1938 

Water levels in most observation wells on Long Island, N. Y., stood 

higher at the end of 1938 than at the beginning of the year. In many of 

the wells the highest observed water level on record occurred in 1938. 

Even in old test wells that were first measured about 1912 the highest 

level in 1938 either exceeded or very nearly approached the previous high. 

The high ground-water levels in 1938 are due chiefly to exceptionally large 

accretions to the underground reservoirs that resulted from heavy rains in 

September, just before and during one of the most severe hurricanes on 

record. During this month the precipitation recorded at most stations on 

Long Island was 5 to 10 inches above normal. On the western part of Long 

Island, where ground-water developments are especially large, small net 

rises in water level in most observation wells took place. These rises 

contrast with the steady annual lowering of water levels that has been 

in progress for several years.
INTRODUCTION 3

In the Morrill well, near Runyon, N. J., the water level during most 

of 1938 was somewhat below the average for preceding years of record, but 

at the end of the year it was near the same stage as at the end of 1937. 

This well has been under continuous observation since 1923. It indicates 

roughly the behavior of the water table in those parts of the Coastal Plain 

where the ground-water level is near the surface.

The water levels in 29 observation wells in Pennsylvania had an average 

decline of 1.9 feet in 1938, and in 10 of the wells the water levels reached 

new low stages.

The water levels in three wells in the central part of the State of 

New York had net declines in 1938 ranging from about 0.1 foot -to 2.5 feet.

The water level in a shallow well in Maryland at the end of 1938 stood 

about 1.1 feet below its stage at the corresponding time in 1937, and water 

levels in four representative wells in northern Virginia declined an average 

of 2.9 feet in the year.

Water levels in four of the six wells distributed over the State of 

North Carolina declined in 1938, but the water levels in a group of wells 

in the Deep River area of the same State rose an average of about 1 foot.

Water levels in 17 wells in the Tiger River area of South Carolina 

averaged 2.6 feet lower at the end of 1938 than at the end of 1937.

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

wells are under observation, the ground-water level, as indicated by a typical well in Roscommon County, declined about 0.8 foot in 1938 in spite of 

having reached the highest stage of its 5-year record in April. Of the 41 

observation wells scattered over Indiana the water levels declined in 1938 

in 25 wells and rose in 16 wells. There was an average net decline of about 

0.7 foot for all the 41 wells. The average water level in all 9 observation 

wells in central and northern Wisconsin was higher in December 1938 than 

in December 1937. In.North Dakota, where a State-wide program of groundwater level measurements was started in 1937, water levels in 1938 rose in 

10 of the 35 wells and declined in 25 wells. In 1938 the 35 wells averaged 

a net decline of 0.8 foot.

Water levels rose in most of the observation wells in Nebraska. In 

167 key wells they rose an average of 0.18 foot in 1938, but at the end of 

the year they were 0.16 foot below the average stage at the close of 1934. 

Despite the rather widespread rise in ground-water levels in Nebraska in 

1938 the levels in 43 of the 167 key wells registered new low stages for 

the period of record, and the water levels in only 22 reached new high stages,
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Water levels in 12 wells in the Tarkio Creek area, in Iowa and Missouri, 

had risen by the end of 1938 an average of 0.44 foot above their stages at 

the end of 1937. In the Limestone Creek area in Kansas the average of the 

water levels in 12 wells at the end of 1938 was about 0.3 foot higher than 

at the end of 1937 and about 0.6 foot higher than at the end of 1934. A 

rise in water levels from 0.1 foot to 5.4 feet took place in 1938 in all 

except 2 of the 25 observation wells in south-central Kansas. The 2 wells 

in which the water level declined are affected by pumping. The water levels 

in a group of wells in the Stillwater Creek area of Oklahoma rose an average 

of about 0.5 foot in 1938, the first average annual rise recorded since 

observations were begun in 1934. Of the 31 observation wells in Texas 

County, in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, water levels rose in 1938 in 18 wells 

and declined in 13 wells. There was an average rise of 0.14 foot in the 31 

wells. The water levels in a group of wells in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek 

areas, Texas, declined an average of 3.9 feet in 1938, but at the end of the 

year they were still about 1.4 feet higher than the average stage for the 

corresponding time in 1934.

A drop in water level of more than 1 foot occurred in 1938 over most 

of the Grand Prairie region, Arkansas a region in which heavy withdrawals 

of water from wells are made for rice irrigation.

In the Plathead Valley, Montana, between "lathead Lake and Kalispell, 

the average of the water levels in observation wells was generally higher 

during 1938 than during 1937. Water levels rose an average of about 0.3 

foot in 1938, but at the end of the year they averaged 0,64 foot below the 

average stage at the end of 1929.

In Utah, where a State-wide program of measurement of water levels 

in observation wells is in progress, water levels rose in 1938 in 16 groundwater areas, declined in 9 areas, and were sssentially unchanged in 6 areas. 

The water levels in all three key observation wells in jfche Roswell artesian 

basin, New Mexico, declined somewhat in 1938,

The water levels in 22 wells in the Palouse River areas, Washington, 

averaged about 0,8 foot lower at the end of 1938 than at the end of 1937. 

In nearly all parts of Oregon for which records are available, including 

the Baker, Port Rock, Qrande Ronde, Harney and Willamette Valleys, and the 

Walla Walla Basin, ground-water levels were moderately high in 1938.

For the second consecutive year water levels in many wells in southern 

California registered large net rises. The water level in the well at 

Baldwin Park, in the San Gabriel River Basin, was about 13 feet higher at 

the end of 1938 than at the end of 1937, and about 34 feet higher than at
INTRODUCTION 5

the end of 1936. The water level in the Williams well, in the San Bernardino 

River Basin, had a net rise of about 12 feet in 1938, and at the end of the 

year it stood about 35 feet higher than at the end of 1936. A well in the 

south coastal plain registered a net rise of 4.8 feet in 1938, whereas the 

average water levels in 6 wells in the San Jacinto Valley declined about 

0.1 foot. In the Ojai Valley and in the Santa Clara River Valley, Ventura 

County, ground-water levels were higher in 1938 than at any other time in 

the last 11 years. Ground-water levels in the Simi, Las Posas, and Pleasant 

Valley areas, however, were about a foot lower than in 1937. Water levels 

in 22 wells in the Santa Ynez Valley above the Geological Survey gaging 

station near Lompoc, on the Santa Ynez 'River, had an average rise in 1938 

of about 2 feet, and water levels in 56 wells below the gaging station 

had an average rise of about 3 feet. The average of the water levels in 

wells in the artesian area at the northern end of the Santa Clara Valley 

was about 21 feet higher at the end of 1938 than at the end of 1937. Other 

parts of the valley showed rises of similar magnitude in water level. Water 

levels in wells in the Mojave River Basin in general showed a rise in 1938, 

and those in the Antelope Valley showed a decline. In the Mokelumne area, 

California, water levels in 24 key wells rose an average of 1.24 feet in 

1938, the fourth consecutive year in which they have risen.

In the Hawaiian Islands, ground-water levels declined generally in 

1938. A decline in water levels in 9 of the 12 artesian areas on the Island 

of Oahu contrasts with a rise in all 12 areas in 1937. Water levels were 

also lower in 1938 in most of the wells on the Islands of Maul and Hawaii.
ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE REGION 

By D. G. Thompson

Measurements of 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, and have been continued each year, by 

the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological 

Survey or with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. The work was 

continued in 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Most of the work of measuring 

wells was done by employees of the Agricultural Experiment Station under 

the general supervision of Prof. Deane G. Carter and the immediate direction of Kyle Engler and L. C. Carter. T. J. Fricke, engineer of the 

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

cooperated informally in the well-measurement program and in the intensive 

study and interpretation of the field records. Both in April and in September 1938 the writer spent several days in this region in consultation 

with Messrs. Engler, L. C. Carter, and Fricke. On the trip in April he 

compared the elevation of the measuring points of some wells that had been 

measured in earlier years with the points now being used.

As stated in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840, the most critical 

information showing the trend of the water level or the 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. Measurements made late in the fall, after the irrigation season 

has closed, may give some suggestion as to the effects of pumping during 

the previous summer; but they are not so conclusive in showing the general 

trend as measurements made in the following spring, when local irregularities due to pumping during the summer have been "ironed out."

Water-Supply Paper 777 contains the complete records to date of 18 

wells, and Water-Supply Paper 840 the complete records of 16 additional 

wells a total of 34 wells. The present report contains measurements that 

were made in these wells in 1938. For most of them only a single measurement was made in the spring, but for some of them a measurement was made 

also in the fall, after the close of the irrigation season. For well 280,

equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder, measurements are given of 

the depth to water whenever the recorder charts were changed, which was 

about weekly. As the descriptions of these wells were published in the 

afore-mentioned reports, they are not repeated here. The complete records 

of 5 wells for which measurements have not been published in previous 

reports are given in this report.

In the spring of 1938 Messrs. Engler and Pricke measured a total of 

about 400 wells in the Grand Prairie region. For those wells in which 

measurements had been made in the previous spring, but for which records 

were not published, the annual changes are generally consistent with those 

in the nearest wells, the records of which are given in the present report; 

but the changes differ slightly from one section of the region to another.

As pointed out in previous reports, the water level in all wells in 

the Grand Prairie region at times shows fluctuations of as much as 0.8 foot 

in 24 hours and of more than 1 foot in a few days, which are caused by 

changes in atmospheric pressure. To make accurate comparisons of the water 

level on corresponding dates in different years, one must correct for fluctuations of atmospheric pressure by comparing with a barograph record at 

some meteorologic station. Prior to 1938 a mere mathematical comparisonof the observed changes in level from one spring to the following spring, 

without correction for differences in atmospheric pressure on the days 

of observation, had given irregular results. There would be an apparent 

drop in the water level from one year to another in some wells and a rise 

in other wells not far distant. In 1938, on the basis of the many measurements recorded in that year and in 1937, and using barograph records for 

the periods during which the measurements were made, Messrs. Engler and 

Pricke adjusted all measurements of the spring of 1937 and the spring of 

1938 to a constant atmospheric pressure and prepared a contour map of the 

Grand Prairie region showing changes in the water level in wells. The 

resulting map showed much more uniform conditions. A drop in water level 

or hydrostatic head during the year was indicated for the entire Grand 

Prairie region except in a narrow zone on the eastern and southern edge 

of the region and in a very small area on its western edge, about 8 miles 

southeast of Lonoke. In four localities scattered from almost the southeastern part of the region to its northwesternmost part the drop in level 

was 1.5 feet or more, and in a fifth locality it was 1.4 feet. In most 

of the region the drop in level was more than 1 foot.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

In the fall of 1938 Messrs. Engler and Pricke measured about 90 wells 

scattered throughout the large lowland area that lies between the Ozark 

Plateau and Crowleys Ridge, from the latitude of the Grand Prairie region 

northward beyond the Missouri boundary line and eastward and westward of 

the Grand Prairie region. A contour map based on the measurements thus 

obtained shows that water Is moving toward the Grand Prairie region from 

the west, from the northwest, and from the north. There Is an Indication 

that more of It Is coming from the west that Is, from the lowland flood 

plain of the Arkansas River than from the north. There Is also an Indication of some drop In water levels In wells In the territory where rice 

Is grown In scattered areas between the Grand Prairie region and Jonesboro, 

Ark. It Is hoped that annual measurements of wells In the area outside the 

Grand Prairie region can be made In future years.

Water levels In the following wells are given In feet below the measuring points, described In Water-Supply Papers 777 and 840.

280. Fred Hederlch. This well Is equipped with an automatic waterstage recorder. For 1938 the depths to water level whenever the recorder 

charts were changed, usually at weekly Intervals, are given below. Comparison of the 1938 record with previous years may be made by reference to the 

graph of the lowest water level reached each day since the recorder was 

Installed In August 1928, which was published as figure 1, p. 9, In WaterSupply Paper 840. The lowest water level reached In this well In 1938 

was 93.90 feet on September 4. In comparison, the lowest water level 

reached In 1937 was 94.15 feet on August 16. The highest water level 

reached In 1938 was 87.71 feet on February 18 as compared to 86.70 feet 

In 1937. The high points are primarily Induced by extreme conditions of 

low atmospheric pressure. These figures are not corrected to a uniform 

atmospheric pressure.

CALIFORNIA

GENERAL SUMMARY 

By P. C. Ebert 

The Geological Survey continued during 1938 its program of measuring

!/

the depth to water level in selected wells in southern California. A 

water-stage recorder was maintained on well 42a at Baldwin Park, in the 

upper San Gabriel Valley.

Systematic measurements of the depth to water level In wells in

2/

various areas were continued by other agencies during 1938. The San

Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District compiled records of measurements that were made monthly at 225 wells during 1937 and 1938, and issued 

a mimeographed bulletin, "Changes in water level during 1938 in the Bunker 

Hill basin."

In the south coastal basins the Department of Public Works, Division 

of Water Resources, assembled measurements of depth to water level that had 

been made during 1937 by persons interested in these basins and published 

Bulletin 39-P, Records of ground-water, levels at wells for the year 1937.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Precipitation in southern California in 1937-38 was above normal. 

For the year July 1, 1937, to June 30, 1938, precipitation at Los Angeles 

was 23.43 inches, which is 8.20 inches above the 61-year average of 15.24 

inches. At San Bernardino the rainfall was 25.36 inches, which is 8.70 

inches above the 67-year average of 16.66 inches. The precipitation at 

Irvine Ranch, near Tustin, in Orange County, was 16.64 inches. The 61-year 

average for this area is 12.28 inches.

San Gabriel River Basin 

3/ 

Well 42a at Baldwin Park showed a rise in water level of 22.81 feet

from a mean daily altitude of 287.18 feet on February 13, 1938 to an altitude of 309.99 feet on May 5, 1938. On December 31, 1938, the water level 

was at an altitude of 300.88 feet, which is 13.12 feet above the water level 

on December 31,' 1937.

Santa Ana River Basin

San Bernardino Area

I/ 

The Williams well showed a rise of 29.0 feet from a measured depth

to water of 35.92 feet on December 25, 1937, to 6.92 feet on April 23, 

1938. The high level in 1938 was 7.58 feet above the highest stage in

1937.

According to the records of the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District all wells in the San Bernardino area showed a net gain in

1938. The average rise, based on measurements of 225 wells in the basin, 

was 12.6 feet. Averaging the measurements of 28 of these wells for which 

a comparison can be made with measurements in 1916 revealed a drop of 58.1 

feet from 1916 to 1936. During 1937 and 1938 55 percent of this drop 

was recovered.

South Coastal Plain

5/

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

net rise in the water level of 4.8 feet from an elevation of 12.7 feet on 

December 23, 1937, to 17.5 feet on December 15, 1938. The total measured 

rise for the year was 7.01 feet from the low stage on January 13, 1938, at 

elevation 13.77 feet to elevation 20.78 feet on May 6, 1938.

San Jacinto Valley

I/ 

Well 72c at Perris, Calif., indicates a net loss of 0.4 foot in

water level. The average of six wells throughout the valley indicates a 

loss of 0.1 foot in water level from November 1937 to October 1938. In 

general the water levels in the southern end of the valley rose whereas 

those in the northern end of the valley declined.

Ventura County

The following brief outline of ground-water conditions in Ventura 

County was submitted by R. H. Jamison, engineer in charge of the Ventura 

County water survey:

"In the Ojai Valley and the Santa Clara River Valley the water level 

was higher in 1938 than at any other time in the past 11 years of record. 

In the Oxnard Plain there has been a general trend upward since 1934. The 

water level in the spring of 1938 reached about the same elevation that it 

reached in the spring of 1929.

"In Simi, Las Posas, and Pleasant Valley areas, the water levels in 

1938 were about a foot lower than they were in 1937.

"In the Santa Rosa Valley the water level was a few feet higher in 

1938 than in 1937."

Santa Ynez Valley

Observations made by the city of Santa Barbara at 22 wells in the 

Santa Ynez Valley above the Geological Survey gaging station on the Santa 

Ynez River at Robinson's bridge, near Lompoc, Calif., show an average rise 

in ground-water level of 1.96 feet from December 1937 to December 1938. 

The maximum rise was 13.0 feet. During the irrigation season the water 

level in the 22 wells averaged 2.3 feet higher in 1938 than in 1937.

Below the Geological Survey gaging station in the Lompoc Valley 

56 wells, measured by the city of Santa Barbara, rose an average of 2.97 

feet from December 1937 to December 1938. The maximum rise was 27.8 feet. 

The average water level during the 1938 irrigation season was 3.24 feet 

above the 1937 level.

Santa Maria Valley

In the Santa Maria Valley, measurements of depth to water level in 

18 wells have been made by the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation 

during the first 2 weeks of August each year since 1929. Water levels in 

the 18 wells varied from a drop of 5.42 feet to a rise of 28.81 feet during 

1936-37 and rose an average of 11.5 feet. During 1937-38 water levels 

varied from a drop of 5.50 feet to a rise of 12.25 feet and rose an average 

of 6.5 feet.

Salinas Valley

Measurements made in October 1938 indicate that the water levels of 

wells in Salinas Valley have remained practically at the same elevation 

during the past two years, according to H. P. Cozzens, county surveyor of 

Monterey County.

Santa Clara Valley

The following summary of ground-water conditions in Santa Clara Valley 

during 1938 was furnished by G. W. Hunt, district engineer of the Santa 

Clara Valley Water Conservation District:

"During the calendar year 1938 there was a very decided increase in 

the artesian pressure and also in the general water levels throughout 

Santa Clara Valley. Our records are for the main portion of the Santa 

Clara Valley and do not include the southern end, locally called the 

Coyote Valley. The results calculated from our records are given below 

for the Artesian area and for the remainder of the Valley.

Artesian Area;

"The Artesian area lies at the northern end of Santa Clara Valley 

and covers about one-fourth the area of the valley.

"At the beginning of 1938 the average elevation of the water level 

in wells in this area was 7.6 feet higher than at the beginning of 1937. 

The pressure level reached a peak at the end of April that was 13.0 feet 

higher than the peak of the preceding year. At the low point at the end 

of June the water level was 16.2 feet above the low point of the preceding 

year. At the end of 1938 the average water level in this area was 21.0 

feet higher than at the end of 1937.
CALIFORNIA 15

"Thus there was a continuous Increase In the average artesian-pressure 

level throughout 1938. The average elevation of the water level In wells 

In this area at the end of 1938 was 5.4 feet higher than at the high point 

In the spring.

"During the spring of 1938 there were several wells between Alvlso 

and Mllpltas that started to flow. This Is the first time In many years 

that this has occurred. The first well to flow started on March 19 and 

flowed until May 10. Because of the Increase In the water level at the 

end of the year many wells were flowing by December 31. The same well 

mentioned above began to flow again on November 29, about 4j months earlier 

than In the preceding year.

Remainder of the Valley;

"In the remainder of the valley, comprising three-fourths of the total 

area, the water level at the beginning of 1938 was 20.0 feet higher than 

at the beginning of 1937, In this part of the valley the water level 

reached a peak In the early part of May that was 16.0 feet higher than the 

peak of the preceding year. There was only a slight drop during the early 

aiimmer pumping season, and from about the end of June on, there was a 

gradual rise. By the end of the year the average water level was 17.4 feet 

higher than at the end of 1937.

"Although the records show a drop of 5.6 feet from the high point to 

the end of the year, It might be well to explain that this Is due mainly 

to the large fluctuation of the water level near the streams. By omitting 

the areas adjacent to the streams (the so-called percolation areas) the * 

records show that there actually was an average rise of 3.0 feet over about 

83$ of the area."

Sacramento and San Joaquln Valleys 

Edward Hyatt, State engineer, furnished the following Information:

"In the Sacramento Valley ground-water levels between the fall of 1937 

and the fall of 1938 varied from a maximum rise of 15.9 feet to a maximum 

fall of 5.8 feet, based upon measurements of 200 wells scattered over the 

Sacramento Valley floor from Red Bluff on the north to the Sacramento delta 

and the Cosumnes River on the south. In general the ground-water levels 

under the valley floor rose. The minimum rise was In the northerly end 

of the valley near Red Bluff and the maximum rise In the southerly end In 

Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano Counties. The average rise In water table 

In each County was as follows: Tehama 0.2 foot, Butte 0.3 foot, Glenn 1.1 

feet, Colusa 1.7 feet, Sutter 0.5 foot, Yuba 2.0 feet, Placer 0.5 foot, 

Yolo 2.7 feet, Sacramento 2.0 feet, and Solano 3.4 feet.

"Ground-water measurements In the fall and early winter of 1938 In 

the upper San Joaquln Valley, south of the Ghowchllla River, showed a substantial rise of the ground-water table In areas recharged by the Chowchllla, 

Presno, San Joaquln, Kings, Kaweah, Tu'le, and Kern Rivers and by Deer, Poso, 

and Callente Creeks and other minor streams. Rises In Madera Irrigation 

District averaged from 2 to 7 feet, and In Presno, Consolidated and Alta 

Irrl-gatlon Districts, from 4 to 6 feet. Substantial rises were recorded 

also In the Peoples and Last Chance Ditch Companies' service areas, main 

and outer Kaweah delta, Portervllle vicinity, and McParland-Shafter Wasco 

area,

"Progressive lowering of the water table continued through 1938 In 

those areas In which there are no surface streams for ground-water replenishment; or If so, very small ones. Several feet of lowering were recorded 

for areas In the vicinity of Orange Cove, Exeter, Llndsey and Delano. 

Slight lowerlngs were noted In areas In Kern County, such as those near 

Edison and east of the Lerdo Canal and U. S. Highway 99."

Mojave River Basin

Observations were made on about 90 wells In the Mojave River Basin, 

most of which were measured twice In 1938. Water levels In the area above 

Vlctorvllle showed a net gain of about 2 feet during 1938. Although gains 

In the wells In the river bottom near Hesperla crossing were, less than those 

of 1937, gains In outlying wells were greater. The slight changes In levels
16 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

in wells between Victorville and Hodge indicate that they were seasonal 

fluctuations. In the Hodge-Hinckley area the water table continued to rise 

during 1938, but no gains were observed north of the Barstow-Mojave highway. North of Hinckley, toward Harper Lake, levels declined less than 0.5 

foot. A rise was indicated near Lenwood and in all wells in the vicinity 

of Barstow. A gain of 8 feet from January 1937 to the fall of 1938 in 

two wells in the river-bottom lands midway between Barstow and Daggett 

indicates a higher water table at the close of 1938 than that shown in the 

fall of 1927 by a measurement made by a local observer. A well between 

the Van Dyke ditch intake and Daggett showed a rise of 25 feet from a 

record low in January 1937 to a record high in the fall of 1938. Observations by different persons have been made on this well since 1925.

The most marked replenishment of the ground-water basin in the Mojave

Valley in 1937 and 1938 occurred in the area between Daggett and the

I/ 

Kouns-Newberry sand-dune belt. Varying from a maximum near the river

at Daggett to smaller gains eastward, and diminishing with distance from 

the river, the net gains over most of this area amount to about 8 feet. 

The altitude of the water table in wells for which records are available 

reached that of 1927 in a large part of the area; some wells indicate a 

higher level than that of 1927 although not so high as that of 1922. The 

water table in wells near Daggett rose 5 feet in 1938, so that the total 

net gain since the measurements of January 1937 is 22 feet or more. The 

net gain in a well near Minneola, on the south boundary of the plain, 

amounted to 1.5 feet for 1938, or about 3 feet since January 1937. Wells 

east of Yermo, above the Kouns-Newberry break, indicate a rise of 8 feet 

since the low mark of 1937. All other wells eastward or downstream from 

the break showed no gain; levels in the vicinity of Newberry and in the 

Newberry-Troy Lake area either remained stationary or declined only 

slightly.

Antelope Valley

Twenty-three observation wells in the Antelope Valley were measured 

in May 1938 and in March 1939, shortly before pumping for irrigation began. 

Observations at these wells indicate generally a drop in water level of 1 

to 2 feet, although in several wells they indicate a rise of a few tenths. 

The decline in water level was less than that observed during the past few 

years owing, it is believed, to the fact that the measurements of March 

1939 were made from 2 to 3 months later than usual, so that a greater

recovery from the pumping of the past season had taken place._________

MOKELUMNE AREA 

By A. M. Piper

During 1938 the program of water-level measurements in wells in the 

Mokelumne area, Calif., was continued by the East Bay Municipal Utility 

District. In the 24 observation wells heretofore selected to represent 

the area, 278 water-level measurements were made in 1938 in contrast with 

441 measurements in 1937 and with 614 measurements in 1936. The causes 

of water-level fluctuations in the wells have been described briefly in 

Water-Supply Paper 840.

The fallowing table gives the averages of the water levels in the

24 observation wells beginning with 1933 and indicates that the substantial

upward trend of water levels, which began in 1935, has continued.

CONNECTICUT

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

as a project of the Federal Relief Administration, a project sponsored by 

the State Planning Board and by the State Water Commission and directed In 

technical matters by the Federal Geological Survey. This study, continued 

Ir 1938 under the sponsorship of the State Water Commission, with technical 

direction of the Geological Survey, Is now a project of the Works Progress 

Administration.

The data collected through December 1937 were published In 1938 In 

six mimeographed bulletins Issued by the Works Progress Administration for 

Connecticut. These bulletins include records of wells and springs, maps 

showing the location of wells and springs, and tables giving periodic 

measurements of water levels in selected wells. The records for most of 

the wells include the owner, altitude, type, depth, and diameter of well, 

source formation, depth to bedrock, depth to water level, and chloride 

content of the water; for the springs, they Include owner, altitude, topographic situation, source formation, Improvements, yield, reported fluctuation In yield, and chloride content of the water. The tables of water 

levels give measurements made about weekly.

These reports, all published In November 1938 by the Works Progress 

Administration for Connecticut, official project 665-15-3-116, in cooperation with the Connecticut State Water Commission, sponsor, and prepared 

under the direction of the Federal Geological Survey, are as follows:

FLORIDA

By V. T. Strlngfleld and H. H. Cooper, Jr.

Observations of water level and artesian pressure In wells In Florida 

were continued during 1938 In connection with the cooperative ground-water 

Investigations by the Florida Geological Survey, Herman Gunter, State 

Geologist, and the Federal Geological Survey. A brief statement of the 

work and availability of records of measurement prior to 1936 Is published 

on pages 40 to 42 of Water-Supply Paper 777. Observations made In 1936 

on the Sharpes Perry well (Marion County 5) and on the Blue Grotto sinkhole, 

both In Marion County, are given on pages 33 and 34 of Water-Supply Paper 

817, and those made In 1937 are given on pages 52 to 54 of Water-Supply 

Paper 840, which Includes also a graph on page 53 showing the fluctuations 

of artesian pressure from 1933 to 1937, Inclusive, In the Sharpes Perry 

well.

During 1938 observations by the District Office of the Federal Geological Survey at Ocala, Fla._, were continued on the Sharpes Ferry well and 

on the Blue Grotto sinkhole. In November 1938 a recording pressure gage 

was Installed on a well owned by Mr. C. S, Lee, near Ovledo, In Semlnole 

County. This well Is near one of the areas In which large quantities of 

artesian water are used to Irrigate celery. Acknowledgment Is due Mr. Lee 

for granting permission to use this well for observation purposes and also 

for his other cooperation In this work.

A few observations were made In other parts of the State In 1938, 

but they will be Included In future reports.

GEORGIA

By V. T. Stringfield, M. A. Warren, and A. C. Munyan

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in wells in the 

Coastal Plain of Georgia were made during 1938 as part of a cooperative 

ground-water investigation by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

Division of Mines, Mining, and Geology of the Georgia Department of 

Natural Resources. Most of these measurements were in counties bordering the Atlantic Coast and in Dougherty County in southwest Georgia. 

The work in the coastal area was by M. A. Warren of the Federal Survey, 

and that in the southwest part of the State was by A. C. Munyan, geologist 

of the State Division of Mines, Mining, and Geology.

Water-stage recorders were installed on well 8 in Savannah, Chatham 

County, and on well 3 in Albany, Dougherty County. A pressure recorder 

was installed on well 3 in Brunswick, Glynn County.

Records of water level and artesian pressure prior to 1938 are 

included in Water-Supply Paper 341, Underground waters of the Coastal 

Plain of Georgia, by L. 18. Stephenson and J. 0. Veatch, which was published in 1915 by the Federal Survey. Water-Supply Paper 102, published 

by the Federal Survey in 1904, contains a few measurements of water level 

in wells scattered over the State. These data are included also in the 

Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin 15, Underground waters of Georgia. The 

Mayor's annual report of Savannah, -1915, and Water-Supply Paper 67 of the 

Federal Survey both include a few measurements in municipal wells at 

Savannah.

The wells measured in 1938 range in diameter from about 2 to 12 inches 

or more and in depth from a few hundred feet to more than 1,000 feet. Most 

of the wells are artesian and flow at the surface, except in some areas 

such as at Savannah, where large quantities of water are pumped from wells. 

The principal artesian formations in the coastal area are the Ocala limestone or older Eocene rocks and in Doxigherty County, formations of Eocene

!/

and Cretaceous age.

Records of municipal wells drilled in 1887 at the old waterworks 

plant in Savannah indicate that the artesian head originally was 41 feet 

above mean low tide datum, which is about 3.5 feet below mean sea level. 

In 1890 the pumpage from these wells was 6,000,000 gallons a day, and 

the artesian head was 7 feet above mean low tide. At that time the 

artesian head was 28 feet above mean low tide datum at the new waterworks 

plant situated at the intersection of Gwinnett Street and Stiles Avenue 

about 1.7 miles southeast of the old plant, and 41 feet above mean low tide 

datum 9 miles south of the old plant. In December 1938 the water level in 

well 8 at the Gwinnett Street plant ranged from about 25 to 30 feet below 

mean sea level or from about 62.5 to 67.5 feet below the level to which 

the water would have risen in artesian wells in 1887. The decline in 

water levels is somewhat larger in wells nearer the pumped wells. About 

9 miles south of the old plant, farther away from the influence of pumpage, 

the artesian head is about 10 feet above sea level, about 25 feet lower 

than in 1890.

The water level in well 3 in Albany, Dougherty County, on December 

15, 1938, was about 36 feet below the land surface, about 44 feet below 

the level to which it would have risen in 1907 when the well was drilled.

HAWAII

By H. T. Stearns 

Island of Oahu

During 1938 the Geological Survey made 338 monthly measurements of 

water level in 24 wells on the island of Oahu. The Honolulu Board of 

Water Supply made 163 measurements on 117 wells, of which 5 were measured 

more than once, and the Board maintained automatic water-stage recorders 

on 9 wells. One additional recorder was rperated by the Geological Survey. 

In 1938 the Honolulu Board of Water Supply pumped 6,166,000,000 gallons, 

and private wells in Honolulu yielded 5,182,000,000 gallons.

Only 3 of the 12 artesian areas on Oahu had a gain in ground-water 

storage in 1938, and 2 of these areas are unimportant, as shown by the 

following table, which is a continuation of the table on page 58 of WaterSupply Paper 840. A slight loss in head occurred in 4 of the 5 areas 

in Honolulu, but this loss amounted to only about one-tenth of the large 

gain recorded in 1937. The greatest loss was in the Pearl Harbor area, 

where most of the 1937 gain in head was lost. Areas 8 and 12 lost onehalf of their 1937 gain. Area 11 lost all of its 1937 gain and most of 

its 1936 gain.

In the following records the head of the water in the wells is expressed in feet with reference to mean sea level. In some of the wells 

this is the measured water level in the well; in others, it is the height 

to which the water would rise in a casing or tube, as indicated by the 

shut-in pressure.

Water levels, in feet, in the Schofield Barracks shaft 4, 1938

(Measurements were furnished by U. S. Army until Nov. 24. After 

that date they were obtained from U. S. Geol. Survey recorder 

charts. The pumps were operated 10 to 16 hours daily, but the 

static levels- in this table were obtained each day after the 

pumping ceased and the water level reached equilibrium.)

Island of Maul

The East Maui Irrigation Co. delivered 74,604.87 million gallons of 

water to central Maui during 1938. The pumping season of the Maui Agricultural Co. began June 15 and ended December 31. Excavation of the Kaheka 

shaft, 552 feet deep, was completed in September 1937. A pump chamber and 

two tunnels, one tunnel extending 250 feet north and the other 75 feet east, 

were then excavated. Pump 3, with a capacity of 6 million gallons per day, 

was moved from the Lower Paia pumping station to the Kaheka shaft, was renumbered 13, and was started in July 1938. Pump 14, a new pump with a 

capacity of 6.8 million gallons per day, was also installed in the Kaheka 

well and was started in September 1938.

Although still under construction, the new Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar 

Co.'s well 3 delivered water during 1938. All pumps of this Company except 

pump 4, which was started on March 30, 1938, were started in January and 

shut down at the end of December.

The chloride content, in parts per million, for the Maui Agricultural 

Co.'s wells on December 31, '1938, follows: 416 at Lower Paia (Nos. 1-6), 

218 at Upper Paia (No. 7), 187 at Kuau (No. 12), and 166 at Kaheka (Nos. 

13 and 14).

WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Island of Molokai

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

been included in the annual we^r-level report. The island stretches eastwest 38 miles, north-south 10 miles, and has an area of 260 square miles. 

It ccnsists of two eroded basaltic volcanoes, an eastern volcano 4,970 feet 

high and a western one 1,415 feet high. The eastern volcano was the last 

to become extinct, for its lavas lap unconformably upon the western volcano, 

At test hole Tl, near the center of the flat isthmus connecting the eastern 

and western masses, the annual rainfall is about 35 inches. Kalaupapa 

Peninsula, on which the leper settlement is located, is a Recent basaltic 

cone. Eastern Molokai has a rainfall of about 200 inches in the area of 

its summit but only about 25 inches along the south shore, the location 

of the Ulupue and Kaunakakai dug wells. The western mass has a rainfall 

of only 25 inches on its summit and less than 20 inches along its shore, 

where wells are brackish.

The systematic geologic and ground-water investigations by the Geological Survey are nearly complete. A Maui-type well 300 feet deep is being

excavated by Maul County 1 mile inland from Kaunakakai, the largest town

« 

on the island. A project of the United States Bureau of Reclamation that

has recently been surveyed would irrigate 15,000 acres of land on the 

isthmus. It would require the excavation of about 10 miles of tunnels to 

develop ground water in the dike complex of east Molokai. These tunnels

would utilize on a large scale the principle of storing water underground

I/ by means of bulkheads at certain dikes. None of the wella measured are

artesian.

Test boring Molokai Tl. Federal Geologf.^1 Survey, about 50 feet 

south of Geological Survey bench mark 402 on t.ie east bank of Kaluapeelua 

Gulch, about 0.75 mile east of the airport. Drilled June 1938 by J. M. 

h'elzer. Depth 415 feet, diameter l£ inches. Cased with 413 feet of 3/4- 

inch pipe with bottom 2 feet perforated. Aquifer, east Molokai basalt.

Consumption of ground water in the Hawaiian Islands

Total draft from all wells in the Hawaiian Islands has increased 

from about 130,000 million gallons (356 million gallons a day) in 1920 

to about 152,000 million gallons (416 million gallons a day^ in 1937. 

In addition to the well water, about 28,000 million gallons (77 million 

gallons a day) of high-level ground water was derived from tunnels in 

1937.

INDIANA

By C. L. McGuinness

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in

I/

Indiana was continued in 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Geology of the Indiana Conservation Department. 

In addition, the writer made a brief investigation of ground-water conditions in Indianapolis.

Periodic water-level measurements were begun in several observation 

wells in 1938 and were discontinued in several others. At the end of the 

year water levels were being measured periodically in about 60 wells 

scattered over the State. The measurements were made mostly by members 

of the State Conservation Department, of the Civilian Conservation Corps, 

and of municipal water departments. Acknowledgment is due these organizations for their cooperation.

In the 41 observation wells in the State for which the 1938 records 

are complete, or nearly so, the water levels at the end of 1938 as compared 

with those at the beginning of the year were higher in 16 wells and lower 

in 25 wells. In 7 wells the net rise or decline in water level for the 

year was 0.2 foot or less.

In the 16 wells showing net rises in water level, the rises ranged 

from less than 0.1 foot to about 3.5 feet, and the average net rise was 

about 0.8 foot. In the 25 wells showing net declines in water level, 

the declines ranged from about 0.2 foot to about 6.5 feet, and the average 

net decline was about 1.6 feet. The average net decline for all the 41 

wells was about 0.7 foot.

The average net rise in the 17 wells in northern Indiana was about 

0.21 foot; for 12 wells the average net rise was about 0.54 foot, and for 

5 wells the average net decline was about 0.6 foot. The average net decline 

in the 20 wells in central Indiana was about 1.83 feet; for 19 wells the 

average net decline was about 1.97 feet, and for 1 well the net rise was 

about 0.8 foot. The average net rise in the 4 wells in southern Indiana 

was about 1.42 feet; for 3 wells the average net rise was about 2.07 feet, 

and for 1 well the net decline was about 0.5 foot.

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840.

INDIANA 69

According to records of the United States Weather Bureau the precipitati-on in the State during 1938 was above normal for each month through 

July except for January and April. The accumulated excess of precipitation 

from January 1 to the end of July was nearly 5^ inches. The precipitation 

was below normal during the rest of the year, but the precipitation for the 

year as a whole showed an excess of slightly more than lj inches.

Water levels in most of the wells showing seasonal fluctuation were 

at their highest stages for the year during late March or early April, 

although in several wells the water levels reached their highest stages in 

June. The water levels were generally at their lowest positions in November or December, although they reached their lowest stages in some of the 

wells in September or October.

In general, water levels reached slightly higher stages in the spring 

of 1938 than in that of previous years and declined less in the fall. 

Despite this, as indicated above, the water levels in more than half the 

observation wells for which the 1938 records are nearly complete were lower 

on January 1, 1939, than on January 1, 1938. This is probably because the 

recovery of water levels in 1937 began in October or November so that the 

water levels had risen considerably by the end of the year, whereas in 1938 

the general recovery began later in the year. In some of the wells the 

water levels were still declining at the end of the y&ar. The deficiency 

in precipitation during the fall of 1938 may explain the later recovery of 

water levels in 1938 as compared with those in 1937.

The largest fluctuations in water level during 1938, as in previous 

years, generally occurred in wells affected by pumping. The average total 

range in fluctuation of water levels in the 41 wells for which the 1938 

records are nearly complete was about 6.2 feet. Fluctuations in individual 

wells ranged from about 1 foot to about 20 feet. The average maximum range 

in fluctuation in 18 wells in which the water is under water-table conditions, and in which the water levels are presumably not affected by pumping, 

was about 7.0 feet. Individual fluctuations in wells of this group ranged 

from about 2.1 to about 13.5 feet.

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

are given for only those wells whose records do not appear in Water-Supply 

Papers 817 and 840. Names of the individual observers are given for each 

well or group of wells, except for wells in which the only 1938 measurements 

were made by M. M. Fidlar, Assistant State Geologist, or by the writer.

Marion County Continued.

Marion 4. Layne Northern Co., Inc., in valley of Lick Creek, about 

100 feet north of Lick Creek and 700 feet west of South Meridian Street, 

Indianapolis. Well equipped with continuous water-level recorder.

Well 4 is an artesian well, diameter 8 inches, depth 304 feet, that 

penetrates limestone. The water Ija the well is under sufficient head to 

flow at the surface during periods of high water level. The measuring 

point is top of casing, which has been extended 5.5 feet above the land 

surface to prevent flowing and to permit use of the automatic water-stage 

recorder. The well contains about 4 gallons of motor oil that displaces 

the water In the exposed portion of the casing and thus prevents freezing 

of the water. The oil surface Is about 0.15 foot higher than the equivalent water surface. All depths given In the table below are to the 

oil surface in feet below measuring point. The water level In the well 

is affected by pumping from nearby wells, presumably those used for 

irrigation at greenhouses.

Lowest level each day of record, In feet 

below measuring point, 1937-38

TARKIO CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Fishel, G. N. Mesnier, and W. T. Wilson

I/ 

The observation-well program In the Tarkio Creek area was continued

In 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service through W. J. B. Boatman, project manager. At the beginning of the year, 73 wells were being measured, of which 7 wells (60, 

63-68) were dropped In March. Seven wells (43a, 44a, 83-87) were added in 

September. Well 24 was dry throughout 1938. Measurements for the wells 

added In September are not Included in this report as the elevations of 

the measuring points have not yet been determined. A water-stage recorder 

was operated continuously on well 1, and another recorder was operated on 

other wells for short periods. The measurements were made by W. M. Mulnix 

of the Geological Survey.

Water level measurements of 12 wells (1, 2, 5-7, 10-12, and 14-17) 

were used in computing average water levels in 1938. These form a continuation of the averages given In Water-Supply Paper 840. On January 1, 

1938, the average stage of water levels was lower than at any other time 

since October 1934. This stage was 1.66 feet lower than that of January 1, 

'"37; 2.37 feet lower than that of January 1, 1936; and 1.07 feet lower 

bhan that of January 1, 1935. Water levels declined an average of 0.67 

foot from January 1 to March 15, 1938, when they reached the lowest average 

stage of the period of observation, which extends back to May 1934. Water 

levels averaged 0.56 foot lower than those of the previous low stage, 

which occurred in October 1934.

Water levels began to rise In the latter part of March, and by the 

middle of July they had risen an average of 1.68 feet. This rise was 

followed by a decline of 0.25 foot by August 2 and by another rise of 0.73 

foot by September 20. Water levels then began a steady decline that was 

still in progress at the end of the year. The levels averaged 0.44 foot 

higher at the end of the year than at the beginning.

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840 for records of groundwaterT-evels, 1934-37.

KANSAS

FORD COUNTY 

By H. A. Waite

A cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of Ford 

County was started in 1937 by the Federal Geological Survey and the

Kansas Geological Survey, R. C. Moore, State Geologist. A preliminary

I/ 

investigation and report were made by S. W. Lohman, and detailed work

was begun October 1, 1938, by the writer, under the direction of

Mr. Lohman. A brief report on the ground water in the Arkansas Valley

§/ portion of Ford County was released in March 1939. This report included the results of an inventory of the irrigation wells in the area. 

About 187 wells were visited, and measurements of water level were made 

in about 75 percent of them..

In the fall of 1938, 37 wells were selected at strategic points in 

Ford County, and periodic measurements of water level in them were begun 

in order to obtain information concerning fluctuations in storage of the 

underground reservoir. Twenty-three of these wells are in the Arkansas 

Valley. Descriptions and records of water level for 34 of them are given 

in this report. The wells were measured by the wetted-tape method twice 

monthly from October 1, 1938, to January 1, 1939. All measurements prior 

to December 16 were made by the writer; those on and after December 16 by 

P. H. Brockhausen.

Automatic water-stage recorders were installed on 3 wells, two of 

which were on the uplands and the third was in the Arkansas Valley. In 

1938 all semimonthly measurements of water level in each of the 22 wells 

in the valley, as well as minimum daily water levels computed from the 

sheets obtained from the recorder well in the valley, are included in the 

brief report on the Arkansas Valley. At least 6 measurements of water 

level were made in most of the wells from October, 1938, to January 1, 

1939, and as many as 7 in a few of the wells. A total of 241 measurements was made from October 1, 1938, to January 3, 1939.

94 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Water-level fluctuations

There are two significant drafts on the twt principal water-bearing 

formations in the Arkansas Valley portion of Ford County, pumpage for 

irrigation in the valley and pumpage for industrial purposes. The period 

of record for observation wells in the area, however, is too short to 

correlate definitely any fluctuations in water level with records of 

pumpage.

Of the three wells equipped with recorders, the water levels in wells 

10 and 17 show decided barometric effect. The water level in well 25, 

located in the valley, shows a very slight barometric effect, but fluctuations caused by other factors doubtless obscure much of this effect.

The depth to water level in the wells ranges from less than 10 feet 

to about 140 feet and, in general, the fluctuations in water level so far 

observed are smaller in the deep wells than In the shallow wells. In 

seven observation wells in which water levels are less than 10 feet below 

the land surface, the maximum observed fluctuation was 1.25 feet, and the 

minimum fluctuation was 0.06 foot. The maximum fluctuation, which was due 

partly to frequent pumping at intervals during the period of observation, 

occurred at well 60. Net rises in water level took place in four of these 

wells and net declines in the other three. In two observation wells in 

which the depth to water is between 130 and 140 feet below the land surface, 

one showed a maximum fluctuation of 0.06 foot and a net rise of 0.01 foot, 

and the other showed a maximum fluctuation of 0.33 foot and a net decline

Of the entire group of 37 observation wells, 23 had net rises in water

LIMESTONE CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By H. A. Waite and C. W. Stewart 

The observation-well program in the Limestone Creek area, Jewell

!/

County, Kans., was continued in 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service through R. P. Ramsey, 

project manager, for the first part of the year and through V. B. 

Predenhagen, acting project manager, for the latter part of the year. 

Measurements of water level were made about weekly in 42 wells- a total 

of about 2,140 individual measurements during 1938. Automatic waterstage recorders were operated on 4 wells (22, 30, 34, and 69) from 

January 1 to June 10, 1938, and on well 51 during the entire year. Moat 

of the measurements were made by Charles W. Stewart and L. C. Buster of 

the Soil Conservation Service. This report was prepared under the supervision of S. W. Lohman of the Federal Geological Survey. John C. Frye 

assisted in the tabulation of data on wells and in the computation of 

average water levels. The data about precipitation were furnished by the 

Soil Conservation Service.

Complete descriptions of wells are given for the first time in this 

report. The writers visited each of the observation wells and obtained 

information to supplement that in Water-Supply Papers 817 and 840. The 

following information is given for each well: the type, depth and diameter; type of casing; water-bearing formation penetrated; location in 

respect to topography; description and height of measuring point; and 

condition of temporary bench marks that were originally established at 

each well. Included for the first time are the locations and descriptions 

of temporary bench marks at wells 30, 40, 42, 44, and 45.

The writers computed new average water levels for the period of record, 

August 2, 1934, to January 4, 1939, but as they used the levels in only 12 

wells (6, 12, 18, 22, 25, 30, 40, 41, 42, 45, 48, and 50) the new averages 

given in the following table do not agree with the former averages in WaterSupply Papers 777, 817, and 840. Water levels in wells 2, 10, and 28 were 

omitted from the new averages because observations on them have been discontinued. Wells 8 and 49 were omitted because their water levels appear 

to fluctuate erratically.

Based on the records of 32 stations (30 of which are maintained by 

the Soil Conservation Service), the average precipitation in the Limestone

Creek area in 1938 was 24.14 inches, of which about 13.5 inches fell in 

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840.
102 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1958

May, June, and July. The water levels in 32 of the 42 wells under 

observation were higher on December 28, 1938, than on December 29, 1937, 

the gains ranging from 0.15 foot to 16.21 feet. The water levels in the 

10 other wells declined 0.01 foot to 1.72 feet In the same period. In 

1938 the maximum net rise 16.21 feet occurred In well 8 In response to 

unusual recharge from heavy precipitation in the vicinity of the well. 

The next highest net rise 8.99 feet occurred in well 49.

The following information is based on the new average water levels. 

Prom January 1, 1938, to May 19, 1938, the average water levels rose 

about 0.22 foot. Precipitation of 5.94 inches in May and of 3.81 inches 

In June produced an abrupt rise that culminated in the highest stage of 

the year on June 23. On that date the average water levels were 0.67 

foot higher than on May 19, 1938, and 0.89 foot higher than on January 

1, 1938. The water levels then declined steadily until October 19, when 

they reached the lowest average stage of the year. This low stage was 

1.03 feet below the high stage on May 19. Water levels rose irregularly 

from October 19 to the end of the year, and on January 1, 1939, they were 

0.44 foot higher than the low stage on October 19 and 0.59 foot lower than 

the high stage on June 23. On January 1, 1939, they averaged about 0.31 

foot higher than on January 1, 1938, and 0.63 foot higher than on January 

1, 1935.

Corrections

In Water-Supply Paper 817: Change footnote ji/ at bottom of first 

table on page 66 to read 104.29 to May 1, 1936; the water level in well 

41 on October 4-5, 1934, page 70, should read 9.78 Instead of 9.28; the 

water levels In well 62, page 77, for the period October 2, 1936, to 

January 1, 1937, Inclusive, should read 85 (at the left of the decimal 

point) Instead of 95.

In Water-Supply Paper 840: The location of well 65, page 111, should 

read SE^SE-j sec. 23, T. 3 S., R. 9 W.; the water level in well 25, page 

112, on February 11 should read 11.55 instead of 13.55.

Beeler Pond wells

Thirteen wells (51 to 63) surround a pond on the L. C. Beeler farm 

northwest of Ionia. The locations of these wells are given in WaterSupply Paper 817, page 63, and are shown in Water-Supply Paper 840, figure 

7, page 109. Wells 52 to 60 are in the SWiSEi sec. 8, T. 4 S., R. 9 W., 

and wells 51, 61, 62, and 63 are in the NWfNEj sec. 17, T. 4 S., R. 9 W. 

Well 51 is described separately in the next paragraph. The other wells 

(wells 52 to 63) are bored observation wells constructed by the Soil 

Conservation Service and are lined with 1^-inch galvanized sheet-iron 

casing. The casings extend from 0.3 foot to 4.4 feet above land surface and are attached to posts for protection. The measuring point at 

each well is the top of the casing at painted red arrow. All the wells 

are in thin alluvium and may possibly penetrate the Niobrara formation. 

The depth, height of measuring point, and highest and lowest water levels 

for wells 52 to 63 are given in the following table.

51. Bored observation well, equipped with a Lietz 8-day automatic 

water-stage recorder, depth 30.3 feet, diameter 7 inches, galvanized iron

116 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS

By S. W. Lohman

I/ 

The observation-well program in south-central Kansas was continued

in 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas 

State Geological Survey, with the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas 

State Board of Health, and with the city of Wichita.

Field work in the "Equus beds" area was resumed on June 1, 1938. In 

August, with the cooperation of the city of Wichita, an intensive investigation was begun in parts of Harvey and Sedgwick Counties in order to 

locate a new ground-water supply for Wichita. In the course of the investigation 19 cable-tool test holes and 84 driven test wells were put down. 

From one to three 1^-inch pipes were left in most of the drilled test holes 

to serve as observation wells and to permit periodic sampling of water. 

The water level was measured at least once in each test well and in several 

hundred private wells by J. C. Frye, R. S. Delamater, Bruce Latta, Fred 

Holden, G. H. von Hein, or by the writer. Bench marks were established, 

and the sea-level altitudes of measuring points for several hundred wells, 

including all observation wells, were determined instrumentally by R. S. 

Delamater and James Tandy. All levels were run from bench marks of the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.

At the beginning of 1938, 21 wells were observed monthly, and 5 other 

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

well 103, in Harvey County, was discontinued as an observation well, and 

periodic measurements were begun in 28 new wells, 25 of which are the test 

wells noted above. One of these test wells and well 307, which previously 

was observed monthly, were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. 

Staff gage 511 was established for obtaining the monthly level of Lake 

Inman, in McPherson County. At the end o'f the year water levels were 

being measured monthly in 33 wells, weekly in 13 wells and in 1 lake, and 

7 other wells were equipped with recorders. A total of 823 wetted-tape 

measurements were made in 1938. G. H. von Hein made all the periodic 

water-level measurements.

Water-level fluctuations

Water levels in five of the seven wells equipped with recorders 

(wells 12, 294, 307, 309, and 506) show decided barometric effects. A 

recording mlcrobarograph was maintained at each of the five wells for 

several weeks. Well 26, in Sedgwick County, is near the middle of the 

well field of the Wichita Water Company; hence the water-level fluctuations in this well are mainly the result of intermittent pumping in four 

or five nearby wells.

The United States Weather Bureau maintains rain gages at Wichita, 

Sedgwick County; at Sedgwick and Newton, Harvey County; and at McPherson, 

McPherson County. In 1938 the precipitation was 2.70 inches above m>rmal 

at Wichita, 5.95 inches above normal at Sedgwick, 5.41 inches above normal 

at Newton, but 2.44 inches below normal at McPherson.

The following comments are based on water-level fluctuations in the 

25 wells for which water-level measurements are available for the entire 

year. Of the 15 wells not pumped and apparently not affected by pumping, 

all had net rises in water level of 0.59 foot to 5.39 feet during the year. 

Two wells had net rises of 0.59 and 0.73 foot, 10 wells had net rises of 

1.00 foot to 2.42 feet, and 3 wells had net rises of 3.01 to 5.39 feet. 

Most of the wells ending in sand or gravel had net rises of 1.5 to 2.0 feet, 

but several wells ending in shale had net rises of 2 to 5 feet. The 

difference between the highest and lowest levels reached in 1938 in these 

15 wells ranged from 1.66 to 7.09 feet, but In most wells the difference 

was 2 to 4 feet.

Of the 10 wells pumped or believed to be affected by pumping, 8 wells 

had net rises of 0.10 foot to 3.71 feet, but 2 deep wells, 19 and 232, had 

net declines of 0.30 and 0.60 foot, respectively. The difference between 

the highest and lowest levels reached in 1938 In these 10 wells ranged 

from 0.37 foot to 12.67 feet, but in most wells the difference was 3 to 5 

feet.

Water levels In most of the wells were declining slowly at the 

beginning of the year. As the precipitation in January, February, and March 

was insufficient to produce recharge, the levels In most wells continued to 

decline during this period and reached the lowest stages of the year early 

in April. Despite subnormal precipitation In April, levels had risen 

slightly by the end of the month. In May an average of 9.06 Inches of 

rain was recorded at the four stations, which was 4.64 Inches above normal,
118 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

and widespread recharge took place. With rainfall in June still above 

normal, recharge continued, but the water levels declined slightly in 

July. More than 5 inches of rain in August 1.62 inches above normal 

raised the water levels in most wells to the highest stages of the year. 

Water levels declined slowly throughout the rest of the year except 

for a slight rise in November, when the precipitation averaged 1.28 inches 

above normal.

LOUISIANA

By J. C. Maher

A study of the ground-water conditions in Louisiana was made at the 

beginning 6Y the century by G. D. Harris and M. L. Puller. Water resources 

of about 20 parishes were investigated from 1901 to 1903, and special attention was given to variations in discharge and temperature of flowing wells. 

Although most of the water level records collected were approximate levels, 

a few precise observations were made in the rice-farming area near Welsh 

and Jennings. Here several wells were measured repeatedly in connection 

with the irrigation supply. Many of the measurements were referred directly to "tide level" and are of little value now for comparative purposes. 

The results of this study were published in 1904 as U. S. Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 101, Underground waters of southern Louisiana.

In 1905 this report, augmented by information that G. D. Harris and 

A. C. Veatch obtained from a study of the ground water in northern Louisiana, was republished by the Louisiana Geological Survey as "A report on the 

underground waters of Louisiana." The material presented on northern 

Louisiana consists primarily of the geographical and geological occurrence 

of ground water in the several parishes, with a few water-level observations, many of which were approximate levels. A. C, Veatch in 1906 used 

much of the same information in the preparation of Geological Survey 

Professional Paper 46, Geology and underground water resources of northern 

Louisiana and southern Arkansas.

Since that time expanding industries and increasing population have 

greatly increased the use of ground water and to some extent have altered 

the ground-water conditions in the State. In view of the pressing need 

for up-to-date information a comprehensive study of the ground-water 

resources of Louisiana was begun in May 1938 by the Federal Survey in 

cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Conservation. Two areas in 

which heavy withdrawals of ground water have caused a large decline of 

water levels since 1906 were selected for immediate investigation.

134
LOUISIANA 135

The first area centers about Rapides Parish, in central Louisiana, 

where the water levels in wells tapping the aquifers that furnish the 

public supply of Alexandria have declined from a few feet above the surface to more than 100 feet below the surface. Preliminary observations 

were made in ths adjacent parishes of Avoyelles and Grant, where more 

detailed studies are to be made in 1939. General data, usually including 

one water-level measurement, were obtained on 375 wells, and repeat measurements of water level were made on 67 of the wells. Four wells are 

equipped with automatic water-level recorders. The principal ground-water 

supplies of this area are obtained from sands of Miocene age and from 

sands and gravels overlying the Miocene deposits.

The second critical area in which observations were begun includes 

most of the rice-farming land in Jefferson Davis and Acadia Parishes, in 

southern Louisiana. In these parishes more than 500 active irrigation 

wells, 10 to 12 inches in diameter and 150 to 500 feet in depth, get wat«r 

from thick deposits of Pleistocene sand and gravel. A large decline in 

water level resulting from pumpage for rice irrigation has made it necessary for well-owners to lower the pumps in the wells about 45 feet in the 

past 30 years. Twenty-two key wells were selected for preliminary observation, in December 1938 two water-level recorders were installed one near 

Iowa Junction and the other near Elton.

MARYLAND

By A. H. Horton

Periodic measurements of water levels have been made since April 

18, 1932, in one observation well in Maryland by the Federal Geological 

Survey in cooperation with the Maryland Geological Survey and the Maryland Department of Health.

The well is an abandoned dug well lined with loose stone, at the 

rear of the residence owned by Walter M. Brown, 800 feet northeast of the 

gaging station of the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River, lj miles 

southwest of Colesville, Montgomery County. A continuous water-stage 

recorder was maintained on this well during 1938. Water levels are given 

in feet above the same datum to which is referred the gage on the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River.

MICHIGAN

By A. W. Bergqulst and 0. F. Polndexter

In connection with a cooperative Investigation between the Michigan 

Department of Conservation, Geological Survey Division, and the Federal 

Geological Survey, measurements of water levels were made In 1932 and 

1933 in wells in Roscommon County, Mich., to determine the areas in which 

ground water is available at depths of 20 feet or less in sufficient quantity to supply wells for use in fighting forest fires.

In 1933 the cooperative work was expanded, through the Michigan State 

Civilian Conservation Corps, to cover a large area in the northern part of 

the southern peninsula and also in a part of the northern peninsula. 

During 1934 a systematic program of measuring water levels in observation 

wells was started, and the program has been continued to the present tims. 

It is described briefly in Water-Supply Papers, 777, 817, and 340. 

Records of 204 wells in 61 townships and 13 counties, together with measurements of water levels in these wells from 1934 to 1938, are included 

in Water-Supply Paper 840. That paper Includes also an index map showing 

the areas in which the wells are located and a graph showing, for each 

month from November 1934 to January 1938, the highest and lowest water 

levels in well 1, in sec. 17, T. 24 N., R. 2 W., Roscommon County. A few 

of the measurements were made by the writers, but most of them were made 

by personnel of the Michigan State Civilian Conservation Corps under the 

direct supervision of A. W. Bergquist.

In 1938 financial cooperation with the Federal Geological Survey was 

discontinued and participation of the Civilian Conservation Corps was curtailed. The Civilian Conservation Corps continued to supply personnel and 

limited transportation facilities for measuring the wells, but most of the 

transportation was furnished by the State Geological Survey. Because of 

the reduced facilities, the area covered by observations in 1937 was carefully checked, and all wells were personally inspected by the writers for 

the purpose of eliminating from the program those observation wells far 

removed from a convenient base of operation or in inaccessible locations. 

A plan was adopted and approved by the State Survey in 1938 for making 

semimonthly measurements in 87 observation wells, instead of in 204 wells, 

as was done previously. It is believed that this curtailment of the work 

has not greatly reduced the value of the program.

152 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

The wells are about 2 inches In diameter, with the exception of an 

8-Inch wall near Roscommon, In Roscoinmon County, and they range In depth 

from 5 to 20 feet. The wells tap water In glacial drift and are unaffected 

by pumping. A few of them are artesian.

Weekly water levels in 1933 In the Roscommon well, on which a waterstage recorder has been maintained since 1934, are given In this report; 

graphs from the water-stage recorder, or reproductions, are filed In the 

office of the Geological Survey Division of the Michigan Department of 

Conservation, Lansing, and in the office of the Federal Geological Survey, 

Washington, D. C.

In 1938 the water level in the Roscommon well rose from 7.40 feet 

below the measuring point in January to 5.58 feet In April, but It had 

declined to 7.95 feet by December. The April water level was the highest 

in 1938 and also the highest since the record was started In November 1934. 

The water level was at a higher stage over a longer period than in any of 

the previous years, due, In part, to the relatively high level in the 

latter part of 1937 and to the maintenance of this high stage until the 

rise in March and April 1938. But notwithstanding the high level In 1938, 

the water declined during the latter part of 1938 to a level somewhat lower 

than the lowest In 1937 though somewhat higher than the lowest In 1935 and 

1936. The range in fluctuation during 1938 was 2.37 feet, and during the 

period from November 1934 through 1938 It was 2.7 feet.

Although there are many variations in water-level fluctuations In 

other parts of the area, the water-level fluctuations in the recorder well 

probably represent the general trend.

In the following records the top of the casing of the well Is the 

measuring point, and the height Is In feet above the land surface. Descriptions of wells, including location, depth, height of measuring point above 

the land surface and altitude of measuring point above sea level, where 

known, as well as miscellaneous data, are contained on pages 125 to 182 

of Water-Supply Paper 840. Description of wells not Included in WaterSupply Paper 840 are contained in this report. Measurements on wells In 

Clare, Grand Traverse, Ogemaw, Oscoda, and Wexford Counties were discontinued In 1938.

MISSISSIPPI

By G. P. Brown

The Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Mississippi 

Geological Survey made measurements of artesian pressure and water level 

in wells in the Mississippi alluvial plain during 1938 as part of an investigation of the ground water of the State. During the last 4 months 

of the year static-pressure measurements were made on 470 artesian wells 

in the eastern part of the alluvial plain. Depths to the water level 

were also measured in 5 shallow wells in the same area. In 1939 observations will be extended throughout the State.

The Mississippi alluvial plain is a part of the Gulf Coastal Plain, 

and in Mississippi it is a physiographic district known locally as the 

"Yazoo delta." It is a part of the Mississippi embayment. Artesian water 

is obtained from several permeable strata, mostly sand members or smaller

lenses of the Wilcox and Claiborne groups of Eocene age that underlie from

I/ 

80 to about 200 feet of river-laid alluvium.

The first flowing artesian well in the Mississippi alluvial plain was 

completed in May 1895 at Greenwood, Miss. Since then artesian wells have 

been developed to supply all towns and most of the small communities. A 

large supply of nonartesian water is available, however, and is the source 

of water for many shallow-driven wells. It is used not only for domestic 

consumption but also for cooling purposes and fire protection in a few 

large industrial and power plants. The artesian wells range in depth from 

about 80 feet in Carroll County, at the eastern edge of the area, to about 

1900 feet in the central part of the alluvial plain. They are mostly 2 

and 3 inches in diameter. Wells that are 10 and 12 inches in diameter 

furnish all or part of the municipal supply for the large towns. Measurements made in 1938 indicate that the static heads in artesian wells range 

from a minumum of about 1 foot below the land surface to a maximum of 

130.5 feet above it. The maximum static pressure head may be the largest 

in the Gulf Coastal Plain.

pressure prior to 1928. A comparison of these records with those of 1938 

indicates, as shown in the following table, that there has been an appreciable decline in artesian pressure in several localities.

The altitudes of measuring points, wherever indicated in the following list, were determined by hand leveling from the nearest benchmark. 

Plowing wells were stopped for 10 minutes before measurement of the static 

head, except at Humphreys well 4, which was closed for 25 minutes before 

measurement.

FLATHEAD VALLEY BETWEEN PLATHEAD LAKE AND KALISPELL 

By R. C, Cady

The Investigation of ground-water levels In the valley and delta

!/ 

area between Plathead Lake and Kalispell was continued through 1938.

Nine readings on 39 wells were added to the 138 readings that had been

collected since July 1928. In 1938 a report on the effect upon ground2/ 

water levels of the proposed surface-water storage In Plathead Lake

was released In manuscript form by the Geological Survey. This report 

contains graphs showing fluctuations of ground-water level In the area 

and also maps showing contours on the ground-water level.

Average monthly water levels and comparisons with those of 1937 and 

1929 are given In the following table. The water levels In the first 

months of 1938 were lower than those In the early part of 1937, but later 

In 1938 they exceeded the levels In the corresponding months In 1937. 

For the whole year of 1938, water levels showed a net rise over those of 

1937, but they still remain considerably lower than those of 1929.

NEBRASKA

By Leland K. Wenzel

The State-wide program of water-level measurements in wells In 

Nebraska was continued In 1938 In cooperation with the Conservation and 

Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. In 1938 an average of 

2 measurements was made in each of about 360 wells throughout the State, 

an average of 32 measurements in each of 41 wells in Scotts Bluff County, 

and an average of 10 measurements in each of 17 wells in Box Butte County 

 a total of about 2,200 individual measurements. Three automatic waterstage recorders were maintained on wells during the year. The measurements on wells in Scotts Bluff and Box Butte Counties were made in connection with detailed investigations of the geology and ground-water resources 

of those areas.

During the year a report on the geology and ground-water resources 

of south-central Nebraska was published as Geological Survey Water-Supply 

Paper 779. Included in the report are hydrographs showing the fluctuations of water levels in wells in the Platte Valley between Chapman and 

Gothenburg.

The following tables summarize water-level fluctuations In 167 key 

observation wells, distributed throughout the State, on which satisfactory 

records have been obtained since 1934. The first table gives the average 

of the water levels in the wells in the fall of the years. In all sections of the State except south-central Nebraska the average fall stage 

was higher In 1938 than in 1937; in the south-central section it was the 

same both years. In three sections of the State the average fall stage 

In 1938 was higher than In 1934 but In the other three sections the reverse 

was true. In all sections except northeastern Nebraska the lowest average 

fall stage was recorded in 1937 and the highest average fall stage in 

1935. In northeastern Nebraska the highest average fall stage was recorded 

in 1938, the lowest in 1936. The average fall stage for the entire State 

was higher In 1938 than In 1936 and 1957 but lower than In 1934 and 1935.

The second table gives average annual net changes in water level, 

based on measurements made in the fall of each year, and also average net 

changes in water level in the period from 1934 to 1938. In 1938 all sections of the State showed net average annual rises except south-central 

Nebraska, where no change occurred. The average rise in water level of 

0.18 foot in 1938 in the 167 wells in the State contrasts with an average 

decline of 0.12 foot in 1937. The net changes In average water levels in 

the several sections of the State correlate fairly closely with the precipitation. In eastern Nebraska the precipitation for the first nine 

months in 1938 was about 1.5 inches above normal, and the average of the 

water levels gained about 0.31 foot. In central Nebraska the precipitation was only about 0.3 inch above normal, and the water levels rose an 

average of only about 0.01 foot. In western Nebraska the precipitation 

was about 2.5 inches above normal and the water levels rose an average of 

about 0.27 foot in the year. If it is assumed that the average net rise 

of 0.18 foot recorded in the 167 observation wells in 1938 represents the 

average fluctuation of the water table over the State and that the specific yield of the formations of Nebraska averages 15 percent that is, that 

each cubic foot of material will yield or store 0.15 cubic foot of water 

then the records indicate a net increase in ground-water storage in 1938 

of about 1,300,000 acre-feet.

Although there was a general average rise in water level throughout 

the State in 1938, the water levels in 43 of the 167 observation wells 

registered new low stages for the period of record, and the water levels 

in only 22 reached new high stages. For the period 1934-38 there has 

been an average net decline of 0.16 foot in water levels in the 167 wells.

Measurements of water level in the observation wells in 1938 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 Papers 817 and 840. This report gives complete descriptions of only those wells on which measurements were begun 

in 1938. 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 each 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 & 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

Measurements of ground-water level and artesian pressure in New Jersey 

were continued during 1938 as a part of a cooperative investigation of the 

State's ground-water resources by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

New Jersey State "Water Policy Commission. Included in this report are the 

unpublished records for 52 wells, of which 7 are observation wells established In 1938. Measurements of water level and artesian pressure during 

1938 are Included also for the 16 wells previously reported.

During 1938 records were obtained on 154 observation wells In New 

Jersey, and a total of about 6,500 measurements of water level were made. 

Water-stage recorders were maintained on 45 wells. Of these recorders, 

9 were owned by municipal or private operators of wells and the rest by 

the Federal Geological Survey or the State Water Policy Commission.

No publication containing records of water level In New Jersey was

issued in 1938 except the annual report on water levels and artesian

I/ 

pressure for the year 1937, which contained a section on New Jersey.

References to other publications may be found In this report and In the

2/

two preceding volumes of this series.

Perhaps the most important ground-water development in New Jersey 

In 1938 was the construction of the so-called "Duhernal" water supply 

between Old Bridge and South River for the purpose of providing additional water for three large industries in the borough of Sayrevllle and 

ultimately of replacing their Individual water supplies, which are 

threatened with destruction by salt-water Intrusion. This project includes the construction of a dam and reservoir on the South River and 

a group of eight gravel-walled wells along the edge of the reservoir. 

As the water In the sand at several of these wells is under water-table 

conditions, the purpose of the reservoir is to recharge the sand. At 

the end of 1938 neither the wells nor the reservoir had been completed, 

but a group of observation wells close to the proposed development had 

been constructed by interested persons, chiefly by those connected with

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

UnltecT States in 1937: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 840, 1938.

United States in 1935: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 777, 1936,

States in 1936: U. S. Geol. Survey "Water-Supply Paper 817, 1937.

the Industries, for observing fluctuations of ground-water level both before 

and after pumping begins. The seven new observation wells established In 

1938 and reported herein are all In the vicinity of this development. It 

Is hoped that continued observations in this area will shed much light upon 

the value of such a pond for recharging the water table and perhaps ultimately upon the effect of silting on the permeability of the bottom of the 

pond and upon the long-term effectiveness of the pond as a source of 

ground water.

For 1938 dally water levels are given for each well equipped with a 

water-stage recorder. It was necessary to select arbitrarily one figure 

for each day because It was impossible to report a continuous record completely in tabular form. The water level at the end of the day Is given 

for wells whose fluctuation Is usually small because this figure best 

reflects the results of any pumping, precipitation, or barometric fluctuation on that day. Inasmuch as many wells that tap artesian aquifers 

are affected by pumping, their water level fluctuates widely In the 

course of a day. For such wells the lowest level each day is reported 

together with the range of fluctuation, although for some purposes the 

highest level each day might be more useful. In the Longport well, where 

the dally fluctuation is almost entirely tidal, the average of the four 

tidal extremes (two highs and two lows) each day is reported. The 

Interpretation of the fluctuations of level In each observation well 

must of course take Into account the nature of the sand from which the well 

draws Its water and the causes of the fluctuations. A brief description 

of the conditions affecting the level In the well is Included in some of 

the table headings.

Most of the observation wells In New Jersey are concentrated In six 

areas, in which intensive investigations are being made. The writer 

believes that the water-level records will be most logically presented 

If grouped according to these areas. For this reason the records from 

the Asbury Park area are placed at the beginning of the tables and are 

followed by those from the Atlantic City, Camden, Canoe Brook, East 

Paterson, and Runyon areas.

Particular attention is called to the table comparing levels in 

the Morrell well on the first of each month In 1938 with the average 

level on the corresponding day during the preceding 14 or 15 years of 

record. The water levels In the Morrell well are believed to indicate 

roughly the behavior of the water table In those parts of the Coastal
196 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Plain where it is near the surface. It will be noted that during most 

of 1938 the level In this well was somewhat below the average for the 

preceding years of record, but that toward the end of the year it was 

higher than the average for several months. The net change for the year 

was negligible. On January 1, 1938, the water level In this well stood 

5.68 feet above the arbitrary datum at the station, and on January 1, 

1939, it stood 5.67 feet above that datum.

Attention Is called also to the table that gives the average levels 

In a group of dug wells near Runyon. In this area measurements of depth 

to water are made monthly In about 30 wells, most of which are used for 

farmstead water supply, and from all of which the draft Is relatively 

small. For the purpose of preparing the average, the writer has converted 

the water levels In the wells into elevations above an arbitrary datum 

below the bottom of the well. In this way differences due to variations 

in the altitude of the land surface and in the depth of the well are 

eliminated, and a fair average is obtained even though the same wells 

may not always be included in the average. As the deep wells fluctuate 

In a different manner from the shallow wells and as more consistent 

averages can be secured by making a separation, these wells are divided 

into two groups on the basis of their depth. All wells 25 feet or more 

in depth are considered deep wells and all those less than 25 feet, 

shallow wells. In general the effect of a wet or dry period Is apparent 

In the deep wells somewhat later than In the shallow wells. In 1938 the 

shallow wells were at their highest near the end of June; the deep wells, 

late In October. A lag of about 4 months Is the usual difference between 

deep and shallow wells In this group. There was a net gain, of about 0.7 

foot In the 17 shallow wells, between the first of January 1938 and the 

end of December 1938 and a net gain of about 1.9 feet In the 6 deep wells.

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 then water-level fluctuations have been caused by changes in the

Measuring point, top of 2 by 4-Inch wood beam at bottom of doors on the 

recorder shelter, about 4 feet above land surface. First measured 

September 30, 1936. Water-stage recorder maintained since September 30, 

1936. Highest observed water level 6.57 feet below the reference point

National Fireproofing Corporation dug well Continued

September 22, 1938; lowest, 11.54 feet below the reference point October 

18 and 19, 1937. Well is on outcrop of no. 1 sand and is not affected by 

pumping from nearby wells. Fluctuations appear to be caused mainly by 

changes in the rate of intake and are generally gradual except during 

periods of heavy precipitation. Diurnal fluctuation of a few hundredths 

of a foot sometimes occurs with falling stages during growing season.

Runyon old deep well 8

Well 29.1.4.1.1. Description in Water-Supply Paper 840. Altitude 

of reference point 18.81 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, 1933j 

lowest, 40.6 feet below mean sea level October 25, 1935. Changes in the 

operation of a nearby well cause occasional changes in the water level 

in this well of 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 regional pumping from no. 1 sand. During 1938 

the daily fluctuation ranged from less than a foot to about 2.5 feet.

NEW MEXICO

MIMBRES VALLEY 

By G. C. Taylor, Jr.

The I/timbres Valley is an extensive desert plain, or bolson, in 

southwestern New Mexico that is underlain to a considerable depth with 

Quaternary and older sands, gravels, and clays derived from neighboring 

mountains. Ground water occurs at relatively shallow depths in irregular 

beds of permeable sand and gravel that are more or less separated by layers 

or lenses of impervious clay. Irrigation with water pumped from wells has 

been practiced in the Mimbres Valley for several decades and in the past 

few years water levels in heavily pumped areas have been seriously lowered.

Measurements of water level in wells in the valley have been made at 

periodic intervals for more than 10 years by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the State engineer of New Mexico. Discussions of the 

fluctuations of water level and basic information on the hydrology of the 

valley were published in the 8th to 13th Biennial Reports of the State 

engineer, and in Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 637.

The change in ground-water levels from January 1938 to January 1939 

in the pumping district of the Mimbres Valley is shown in an accompanying 

illustration. The contour lines show areally the rise or decline of the 

water level, in feet, and the figure at each observation well indicates 

the net change of water level in that well.

The largest declines in water level took place southwest of Deming 

and northeast of the Little Florida Mountains near Miesse station, the 

two most heavily pumped districts in the valley. The greatest decline in 

both areas was slightly more than 1 foot. Northwest of the Little Florida 

Mountains the water levels were higher in January 1939 than in January 1938.

The net change in ground-water levels from early spring 1932 to 

January 1939 is shown in another illustration. Th'e lowering in the observation wells ranged from less than 1 foot to slightly more than 12 feet 

during this period, the greatest declines being in the heavily pumped districts. The illustration shows that the water levels in observation wells 

northwest of the Little Florida Mountains declined less than those in wells 

in the western part of the pumped area. The decline in the eastern section 

probably has been limited by an underground barrier between the south end

of Cooks Range and the north end'of the Little Florida Mountains, which 

apparently retards the eastward percolation of the ground water. Water 

levels in wells just west of this barrier declined less than 2 feet from 

1952 to 1939, whereas those in wells east of the barrier declined as much 

as 12 feet. A part of the large decline in the heavily pumped area east 

of the barrier is doubtless an indirect effect of the pumping on the west 

side of the barrier. The withdrawal on the west side of the barrier has 

decreased the percolation over the barrier and thus has decreased the 

recharge to the Miesse area.

PORTALES VALLEY 

By C. S. Conover

Portales Valley is a broad shallow depression about 50 miles long and 

is characterized by gentle side slopes and by the absence of streams. In 

the vicinity of the town of Portales it is about 30 miles wide and extends 

eastward through Roosevelt County, N. M., into Texas. Surface flows occur 

infrequently and only after heavy rainfall. There are many depressions 

and playas along the axis of the valley, some of which are occupied by 

ground-water lakes throughout the year, whereas others contain water only 

after periods of heavy rainfall. The perennial lakes are highly saline 

and are surrounded and, in places, connected by salt grass meadows. A 

strip of sand dunes that extend along the north side of the valley for 

nearly its length constitute a favorable catchment area for precipitation. 

The fill of the valley averages about 110 feet in thickness and consists 

of sand and silt with usually some gravel in the lower part.

The pumping of ground water for irrigation In the valley began on a 

large scale about 1910, but after a few years it was gradually reduced 

so that by 1919 only a little pumping was done. Interest in well irrigation was renewed in 1929, and since then the number of pumping plants in 

operation has increased each year with the exception of the years of 

depression, 1932 to 1934. In 1938 there were about 11,000 acres under 

irrigation, according to a. rough survey made by the writer.

In 1931 an intensive investigation of the pumped area was made by 

the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the State engineer of 

New Mexico, and the results were published in the 10th Biennial Report 

of the State engineer. Progress or continuation reports on the area by 

C. V. Theis have been published in the llth, 12th and 13th Biennial 

Reports of the State engineer.
246 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Water levels in about 150 wells have been measured in January or 

February of each year since 1935. These measurements are given in this 

report, together with those in about 40 other wells, the measurements 

having been made about monthly from November 1931 to August 1937 and 

irregularly thereafter.

The accompanying maps show the change in ground-water level in 

Portales Valley between February 1938 and January 1939 and between 

January 1932 and January 1939.

From February 1938 to January 1939 water levels declined in the 

areas of heavy pumping, which are northwest and east of Portales. The 

maximum decline of ground-water level observed for this period was 2.63 

feet, which occurred in well 1.34.22.131, about 2 miles northwest of 

Portales.

A large rise in ground-water levels from February 1938 to January 

1939 took place in the vicinity of Arch, the rise amounting to an observed 

maximum of 2.61 feet in well 2.36.26.131, which is about % mile south of 

Arch. The area of rise extended to about 2 miles east and § mile south of 

Portales. The factors causing this rise are not definitely known, but 

probably the chief cause was the heavy rains in September and October, 

which at Portales totaled about 6.50 inches. As the water table in the 

Arch area is at most places very near the land surface, precipitation may 

cause a recharge there more readily than in other parts of the valley. 

Water levels in wells also rose in the lightly pumped area near the margin 

of the pumping district about 6 miles northwest of Portales.

From January 1932 to January 1939 the water level declined in an area 

extending about 10 miles west and about 5 miles east of Portales, a strip 

15 miles from east to west and about 10 miles from north to south. The 

water level declined more than 6 feet in a heavily pumped area northwest 

of Portales and over 5 feet in another heavily pumped area east of Portales. 

In the vicinity of Arch the water level rose a maximum of about 4 feet from 

1932 to 1939. As only a few observation wells are in this district the 

contours shown on the map are necessarily approximate.

The system of numbering wells used herewith is based on land subdivisions and serves the dual purpose of designating and locating the well. 

The number of the well is separated into segments by decimal points. The 

first segment denotes the township, the second the range, the third the 

section, and the fourth the 10-acre tract in the section. The section is 

divided into quarters, numbered respectively 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the MW,

NE, SW, and SE quarters, and each quarter section is divided into 40-acre 

tracts on the same basis. The first and second digits of the last segment 

denote, respectively, the quarter of the section and the quarter of the 

quarter section. Similarly, each 40-acre tract is divided into 10-acre 

tracts, which are denoted by the third digit in the last segment. Thus a 

well in HEiNWiSEi sec. 29, T. 14 S., R. 26 E. is designated as 14.26.29.412, 

If two or more wells are in the same 10-acre tract, a letter a, b, c, or 

d is arbitrarily added to the number designating the tract.

ROSWELL ARTESIAN BASIN 

By A. M. Morgan

In 1938, 106,000 acres of land in the Roawell artesian basin were 

irrigated by waters derived directly or indirectly from underground sources.

!/

The most important sources are artesian water in the San Andres limestone

2? 

and shallow water in the valley fill. Sources of lesser importance are

the spring-fed perennial flows of the lower courses of the larger tributaries of the Pecos River, the flow of drains, and the flow of the Pecos 

River. Most of the water of the three minor sources is natural groundwater seepage and return water from irrigation in the artesian basin.

According to the Agricultural Conservation Administration, 75,000 

acres of the irrigated land in the artesian basin are in Chaves County, 

and 31,000 acres are in Eddy County. No definite figures are available 

for the acreage irrigated by water from each of the several sources. The 

Farm Planning Board of Chaves County has estimated that in Chaves County 

48,000 acres are irrigated by artesian water; 15,000 acres by shallow 

water; 9,000 acres by the Hagerman canal, which is supplied from the flows 

of Rio Hondo and South Spring River, from drains in the northern part of 

the basin, and from artesian wells; and 4,000 acres by surface water other 

than that from the canal. The 31,000 acres in Eddy County are irrigated 

by artesian water, shallow water, and water from Cottonwood Creek and the 

Pecos River. No individual figures are available for the acreage irrigated 

from each source, but most of the acreage is irrigated by ground water.

Fluctuations in artesian head

The collection of records of artesian head in three representative 

wells equipped with water-stage recorders in the Roswell artesian basin 

was continued in 1938 by the artesian well supervisor under the direction 

of the State engineer. Observations on other artesian wells in the area 

made in January 1938 and January 1939 by the artesian well supervisor and 

by the Federal Land Bank are discussed in the 12th and 13th Biennial 

Reports of the State engineer.

1958, as indicated by the three representative wells equipped with waterl/ Fiedler, A. G., and Nye,, S. S., Geology and ground-water resources

280 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

stage recorders, are shown In the following tables. The mean dally artesian 

head was ascertained by inspection of the recorder graph; the mean monthly 

head was obtained by averaging the mean dally head; and the mean annual 

head was determined by averaging the mean monthly head. The records of 

artesian head were determined by the Geological Survey from recorder graphs 

furnished through the courtesy of E. G. Minton, Jr., artesian well supervisor of the Roswell artesian basin. Records of artesian head In the three 

wells from 1925 through 1937 are given In Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

and 840.

The recorders on the Orchard Park and Berrendo wells have been operated almost continuously since their Installation In 1925 and 1926, respectively. The Artesla recorder was moved on April 1, 1931, from a well In 

the SWiNW^ sec. 32, T. 17 S., R. 26 E., to a well In the SW^SWi sec. 5, 

T. 18 S., R. 26 E. In previously published records, the description of 

the well at the old location has been retained, and 4.12 feet has been 

added to the elevation of water level In the well at the new location to 

make the new record comparable with the old. In Water-Supply Paper 840, 

which gives the records for 1937, the published record carried the old 

description because of a misunderstanding between the office of the 

artesian well supervisor and the Geological Survey, but the record was 

that of the well at the new location without the addition of the 4.12 

foot correction. Because of this error, the statement about the Artesia 

well on page 253 of Water-Supply Paper 840 should be changed to read that 

the mean annual water level In this well was 0.8 foot higher In 1937 than 

In 1936 and that the mean monthly water level In December 1937 was 0.3 foot 

higher than In December 1936.

The record given herein Is the true record of the well on which the 

recorder Is now located. To make It comparable to published records for 

the period April 1931 to December 1936, inclusive, add 4.12 feet to the 

water-surface elevation given.

The records for all three wells for 1938 show a major seasonal fluctuation of artesian head that Is, In general, similar to the fluctuation 

of the past few years. The head shows a marked response to changes In the 

draft on wells used for Irrigation and to changes in precipitation. A 

sharp decline In head from January to April was followed by a much leas 

rapid decline to June. In July there was a pronounced increase In head and 

In August an equally pronounced decline. In September, October, and November a sharp increase In head was followed by a less rapid Increase in
NEW MEXICO 281

December. Precipitation in April, May, and early June 1938 showed a marked 

deficiency, and as a result the artesian head decreased slightly in May 

and June, a period which normally has an increase in head. Unusually heavy 

precipitation in the latter part of June resulted in a sharp increase in 

head from July, a month that usually shows a decline in head. The marked 

increase in head following periods of moderate to heavy rainfall is believed 

to be due principally to the decrease in draft on wells used for irrigation.

In the Berrendo well, the artesian head continued the decline that 

began in 1932, but the rate of decline was less in 1938 than in 1934, 1935, 

and 1936. The mean water level in December 1938 was 0.4 foot below that 

in December 1937, and the mean for 1938 was 0.3 lower than that for 1937. 

In the Orchard Park well, the water level lowered during the year but was 

higher than in 1934, 1935, and 1936. The mean water level in December 

1938 was 3.8 feet below that in December 1937, and the mean for the year 

was 1.6 feet lower than for 1937. In the Artesia well, the mean water 

level declined during 1938 for the first time since 1934. The mean water 

level for the month of December 1938 was 3.9 feet lower than for December 

1937, and the mean for the year 1938 was 0.6 foot lower than that for 

1937. However, the lowest mean monthly water level for 1938, reached in 

August, was 2.5 feet higher than the lowest monthly water level for 1937 

and was the highest minimum monthly stage for any year since 1931.

An important factor contributing to the general lowering of water 

level in 1938 was probably the increased irrigation draft resulting from 

the replacement of cotton in a large area by crops that require more water 

for their growth.

Water levels In shallow wells

The first measurements of water level in shallow wells in the Roswell 

basin were made by Fiedler and Nye from 1925 to 1929 in connection with 

the intensive investigation of the artesian basin. Among the wells measured 

were those in the area along the Rio Felix west of Hagerman, where considerable local interest was displayed in the development of shallow ground water 

for Irrigation. The observations on these wells are discussed In WaterSupply Paper 639 and in the 9th Biennial Report of the State engineer. In 

June 1932 the water levels in shallow wells in the Felix area were remeasured by Fiedler, and the results were published in the 10th Biennial Report. 

From 1935 through 1938 regular observations were made by the artesian well 

supervisor and the Pecos Valley Conservancy District on six wells in the 

Felix area that had been first measured in 1927 or 1928.

In April 1937 the Geological Survey in cooperation with the State 

engineer began an intensive investigation of the shallow ground water in 

the Roswell basin. A group of 46 wells were selected for observation, and 

regular water-level measurements were made through the summer of 1937 by
NEW MEXICO 285

the writer. Prom November 1937 through 1938 the water levels in these 

wells were measured by the artesian well supervisor. Automatic water-stage 

recorders were installed and maintained on 5 wells for periods of a few 

weeks to more than a year. The records of water level in observation wells 

through June 1938, including measurements on the 6 wells in the Felix area 

made in 1935, 1936, and 1937, are listed and discussed in the 12th and 

13th Biennial Reports of the State engineer. They are given also in this 

report with the records of water level for the remainder of 1938.

In January and early February 1938 the writer measured the water 

levels in 413 wells scattered over the basin and attempted to find the 

wells measured by Fiedler from 1925 to 1929. Ninety-nine of the wells 

were definitely located and remeasured. A discussion of the differences 

between the water levels in these wells in 1927 and 1938 is given in the 

12th and 13th Biennial Reports. In January and early February 1939 the 

water levels in 407 of the wells measured in 1938 were remeasursd, together 

with a few additional wells not included in the 1938 list.

Water levels in practically all the observation wells fluctuate 

seasonally, probably because of the pumping of wells for irrigation. In 

general, water levels decline from January or February through spring 

and summer to August or September, when the lowest stages of the year are 

reached. Water levels generally rise from September or October to the 

highest stages of the year in January or February. The magnitude of seasonal fluctuation and the fidelity with which the pattern of fluctuation 

conforms to the pumping regimen varies with the distance from the heavily 

pumped areas. The wells in the heavily pumped area west of Hagerman have 

a seasonal fluctuation of about 6 feet, and the pattern of fluctuation 

conforms closely to the pumping regimen. Farther away from the heavily 

pumped areas the magnitude of the seasonal fluctuation is considerably 

less, and a definite lag exists between the beginning of the pumping season and the decline of the water levels, and also between the end of the 

pumping season and the rise of water levels. In general, the seasonal 

fluctuations of water level in 1937 and 1938 were similar except that in 

1938 the water levels in many of the wells began to rise earlier in the 

fall.

Well 10.24.29.432, near the Berrendo River, northeast of Roswell and 

in a section removed from any heavy pumping, shows a seasonal fluctuation 

in water level that is the reverse of that in almost all of the other 

observation wells. The level in this well reaches the highest stage of
284 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

the year in the early fall near the end of the irrigation season; it 

declines during the fall and winter, reaches the low point of the year 

in March or at the beginning of the irrigation season, and then gradually 

rises through summer to the seasonal high stage in September or October. 

The seasonal fluctuation in well 10.24.31.44, at the west edge of Roswell 

and a short distance from the North Spring River, is similar to that in 

well 10.24.29.432 except that the water level also appears to respond to 

floods on the Rio Hondo. Similar responses to floods on the tributaries 

are shown by the water levels in wells 10.24.17.243, on the bank of the 

Berrendo River, and 14.25.21.232, near the Rio Felix.

The accompanying illustration, a map of the Roswell basin, shows the 

changes in water level from January and early February 1938 to January and 

February 1939. The areas in which the water level rose are unhatchured, 

whereas the areas in which the water level declined are hatchured. The 

hatchuring is heavier where the net decline was more than 2 feet. The lines 

on the map show to the nearest foot the rise or fall of water level during 

the period.

A general decline in water level occurred in a strip of the basin that 

extends from Roswell southward beyond Artesia and that is several miles 

wide and more than 50 miles long. This area, whose axis lies about 5 miles 

west of the Pecos River, corresponds in general with the area in which the 

pumping of shallow water for irrigation was most active in 1938. The 

greatest lowering of the water level more than 3 feet in an area of about 

25 square miles occurred between Orchard Park and Hagerman, where the 

pumps are most closely situated. The maximum measured decline was 4.5 feet.

The water level rose in 1938 in a strip of the basin extending westward about 3 miles from the Pecos River and southward from north of Roswell 

to Dayton. The water level rose less than 1 foot over most of this strip, 

although it rose more than 3 feet in places. Rises in water level in 1938 

were confined, in general, to areas where the water table is within 10 

feet of the.land surface and where irrigation is practiced with water from 

artesian wells and from surface sources, including the Hagerman canal. 

Marked rises in water level occurred locally east of Roswell, southeast of 

Artesia, and in the vicinity of Dexter and Hagerman.

The general lowering of the water level in the western part of the 

irrigated area appears to be due chiefly to pumping for irrigation from 

shallow wells within the area of declining water level. Also, pumping

from wells east of this zone, especially in Eddy County, may have caused 

some of the lowering. The general rise In water level in the eastern part 

of the basin cannot be directly attributed to any single factor but may be 

caused in part by an increase in the quantity of artesian and canal water 

used for irrigation in 1938, by a reduction in the demand for supplemental 

water from shallow wells due to heavy precipitation in the late summer of 

1938, and by differences in the local pumping regimen.

The system of numbering wells used in the Roswell basin is the same 

used in the Portales Valley.

NEW YORK

CENTRAL NEW YORK 

By A. W. Harrlngton

Periodic water-level measurements In three wells In central New York, 

the records of which appear In Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840, were 

continued In 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the 

New York State Department of Conservation. In addition, observations were 

begun In the fall on a well near East Homer, In Cortland County. All the 

wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

Water levels In the three wells on which observations have been made 

for several years fluctuated about normally In 1938, and no new high or 

low stage was reached. The water level's In these wells at the end of the 

year, however, were lower than at the end of 1937. In the Shackham Brook 

well 1 the net decline was 0.66 foot, In the Sage Brook well 2 It was 0.13 

foot, and In the Cold Spring Brook well 1 It was 2.49 feet.

Records of water level for the Shackham Brook well 1, Sage Brook well 

2, and Cold Spring Brook well 1 are given In feet below the measuring 

points; the records for East Homer Creek well 1 are given In feet above 

zero of staff gage.

Shackham Brook Well 1

Latitude 42°46'00", longitude 76°01'10". On top of hill about 300 

feet upstream from stream-gaging station, 500 feet to left of Shackham 

Brook, and about 5 miles north of Truxton, Cortland County. Dug well, 

formerly lined with concrete tile but rellned on September 23, 1938 with 

8-foot length of 18-inch corrugated galvanized-Iron pipe. Timber Instrument shelter rests on concrete base, separate from Iron pipe of well. 

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

above sea level. Readings made by measuring distance from measuring point 

to water surface. Measurements given In table below are corrected for 

change In measuring point. Read weekly, August 26, 1933, to June 6, 1935. 

Stevens water-stage recorder Installed June 6, 1935.

LONG ISLAND 

By E. J. Schaefer

In 1932 a study of the ground-water conditions on Long Island, N. Y., 

was started by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Joint 

Legislative Committee to Investigate the Existing Water Supplies of the 

State of New York. Since July 1, 1932, the Federal Geological Survey has 

continued the investigation in cooperation with the New York State Water 

Power and Control Commission and with Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Much 

of this work has consisted of making measurements of water levels in 

observation wells in parts of Long Island. During the year, weekly waterlevel measurements were made in about 50 of these wells and at the end of 

1938 automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 18 other wells. 

About 3,400 individual water-level measurements were made in 1938.

A report on ground-water levels on Long Island is in preparation. 

This report will give most of the detailed water-level data that have been 

obtained since the start of the cooperative investigation and also a discussion of the factors that have produced the fluctuations.

In Water-Supply Paper 840 a descriptive heading was given for each 

observation well. Headings have been omitted in the 1938 report except 

for those wells at which measuring points have been changed and for wells 

that were not reported on in Water-Supply Paper 840.

306 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

It Is apparent from this table that the ground-water levels on Long 

Island were, with few exceptions, higher at the end of 1938 than at the 

beginning of the year. The four observation wells that showed a net 

decline of water level during 1938 are in areas of heavy pumping. In an 

area of more than 40 square miles at the western end of the island, where 

ground-water levels are below sea level, most of the observation wells 

showed a small net rise during 1938. This rise contrasts with the rather 

steady annual lowering of water levels that has been in progress for 

several years. An analysis of the factors affecting ground-water levels 

indicates that this small net rise during 1938 was at least partly the 

result of a decrease in pumping for industrial purposes in western Long 

Island.

The above table also shows that in most of the observation wells the 

highest observed water level on record occurred in 1938. Even in the old 

test wells that were first measured about 1912, the highest level in 1938 

either exceeded or very nearly approached the previous high.

The precipitation for most of Long Island was below normal in December 

1937 and in January, February, March, April, August, October, and December 

1938. For most of the stations the accumulated deficiency for the first 

5 months of 1938 ranged from about 3 to 5 inches. During this period considerable ground-water recharge usually takes place. In the last half of 

both June and July 1938 there was considerable rainfall on Long Island, 

and recharge took place in most parts of the island. In September heavy 

rains fell a few days before and also during one of the most severe hurricanes on record. Most of the stations on Long Island recorded rainfall 

during September of 5 to 10 inches above normal. The data on ground-water 

levels for Long Island given in this report show that considerable recharge 

took place following this period of abnormal precipitation. The water 

level in many of the observation wells showed a rise of more than 2 feet.

In general, excepting the over-developed end of western Long Island, 

ground-water level records on Long Island in 1938 show that despite 

unfavorable conditions for recharge during the first part of the year 

the normal recharge period the abnormally heavy precipitation during 

late summer and fall resulted in ground-water levels almost as high as, 

or even higher than, any on record.

Q 470. Measuring point raised 3.91 feet on August 17, 1938. New 

measuring point, top of instrument shelf, 0.07 foot above top of 8-inch 

flange, about 9 feet above nearby tidal marsh, and 14.95 feet above mean 

sea level. Water level August 19 1938, 19.80 feet below measuring point 

and 4.85 feet below mean sea level. Since the publication of Water-Supply 

Paper 840 it was observed that this well leaked when the water level 

reached an altitude of 5.73 feet above mean sea level. The measurements 

given in Water-Supply Paper 840 for December 3, 17, 24, and 31, 1937 are 

therefore lower than the true static level. In Water-supply Paper 840 the 

diameter of this well should have been given as 8 inches.

328 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

CROTON VALLEY 

By C. E. Jacob

The ground-water investigation In Croton Valley below Croton Dam, 

!/ begun In July 1936 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the village of Ossining, was terminated June 30, 1938. At that 

time observations of water levels were discontinued in all wells except 

Nos. 10 and D15, on which automatic water-stage recorders were operated 

until September 22.

During the first 6 months of 1938 tape measurements of water levels 

were made weekly in 22 shallow and 18 deep observation wells, observations 

on wells 2, 3, 7, 8, and 28 having been discontinued the previous year. 

A water-stage recorder was maintained on well 17 until March 1, from 

which time weekly tape measurements were made until June 28.

A description of the observation wells is given in Water-Supply 

Paper 840. The altitudes of the measuring points used in 1938 are 

those given in that report.

The results of the Croton Valley investigation were released In

£/

a report by R. M. Leggette and the writer, who contemplate publishing a more comprehensive report. A brief discussion and comparison

of intensive pumping tests and measurements of underflow are given In

£/ 

a paper by the writer. This paper includes a map showing the location

of observation wells.

The water levels in wells in Croton Valley are determined mostly 

by the stage of Croton River, which In turn is determined by the overflow from New Croton Dam and by precipitation on the area below the dam. 

The dam overflows during various periods, depending on precipitation, 

previous reservoir level, and withdrawal by the city of Sew York.

Observation wells near the supply wells of the village of Crotonon-Hudson are affected by withdrawal from these wells. Well D15, which

is about 7 feet deep, Is near Croton River and Is about 120 feet from the 

nearest of the three supply wells. During the period of record, January 

5, 1937, to September 21, 1938, the lowest recorded water level was 33.74 

feet above sea level on August 6, 1937. The highest water level occurred 

after the hurricane of September 21, 1938, when the well was flooded.

The water level in well 10, which is about 90 feet deep, is likewise 

affected, though to a lesser degree, by withdrawal from wells of the village of Croton-on-Hudson and by changes in stage of Croton River. An 

automatic recorder was maintained on well 10 from October 26, 1936, to 

September 22, 1938. During this period the lowest water level was 32.30 

feet above sea level on October 18, 1937, and the highest water level was 

42.63 feet above sea level on September 22, 1938.

In general the wells in Croton Valley may be classified as either 

shallow or deep. Water-level fluctuations in wells D15 and 10 are typical of those observed in the shallow and deep wells, respectively.

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 Papers 777, 817, and 840, was continued in 1938. Automatic water-level recorders were operated on two wells 

for the entire year, and automatic recorders were installed in August on 

the McCauley well at Chapel Hill and on the Terrell well near Copeland.

In 1938 there were net declines in water level in four of the six wells 

on which satisfactory records were obtained. A net rise of about 4.1 feet 

occurred in the Governor Holt well at Haw River and a rise of about 0.2 

foot in the Preuler well at Roanoke Rapids. Water levels in the Baldwin 

well at Blantyre and in the Kurfee well at Mocksville declined about 4.2 

and 1.8 feet, respectively, in the year. Net declines of less than 0.2 

foot were recorded in the Pishdam well near Northside and in the Brick 

pit near Goldsljoro.

Records of water level in 1938 in nine wells under observation are 

given on the following pages. The water levels in each well are expressed 

in feet above an assumed datum. The datum, the measuring point, and the 

location, structure, and equipment of these wells are described in WaterSupply Paper 777, The description of the Terrell well, whose record appears for the first time, is given in this report immediately preceding 

the water-level records for that well.

338 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

DEEP RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Fishel and J. W. Gambrell

!/ 

The observation-well program in the Deep River area in Guilford,

Forsyth, and Randolph Counties, near High Point, N. C., was continued 

in 1938 by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, J. H. Stallings, project manager. Members of the Geological 

Survey and the Soil Conservation Service made water-level measurements 

about weekly in 23 wells. Four water-stage recorders were operated on 

wells in this area during the year. About 1,000 measurements of water 

level were made in 1938.

The average water levels on successive dates for 1938 were obtained 

by averaging the water levels in 21 wells (la, 2, 4-9, 9b, 10, 12, 14, 15, 

18-21, 23-25, and 27). Water levels rose less during the usual spring recharge period of 1938 than during corresponding periods of the previous 3 

years for which records are available, but the ensuing normal summer decline was likewise less than usual. An average rise of about 1.5 feet 

occurred in the first week of January, but 1.1 feet of the rise was lost 

by February 11. The water levels then rose an average of about 0.9 foot 

by March 18 but declined about 0.6 foot by April 1. They fluctuated irregularly in April, May, and June, and on July 8 were about 0.25 foot below the average at the beginning of the year. Measurements were not made 

again until September 2, when they averaged 0.15 foot lower than on July 8. 

The water levels declined during September and October and on October 28 

reached the lowest stage pf 1938 1.29 feet below the level on September 2 

and about 1.7 feet below that at the beginning of the year. From this low 

average stage a recovery of about 2.8 feet had taken place by the end of 

1938.

Water levels averaged a net gain of about 1 foot in 1938 and at the 

end of the year stood nearly a foot higher than at the end of 1934.

ELIZABETH CITY AREA 

By A. G. Fiedler

Observations of the fluctuations of ground-water level near Elizabeth 

City, N. C., were continued in 1938 through the cooperation of the Elizabeth City Public Utility Commission.

For well 31T, which is a shallow well about 2,500 feet northwest 

of the pumping plant in the city well field, records were obtained, as 

formerly, by means of a water-stage recorder. The detailed description 

and water-level records of this well for previous years were given in
344 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Water-Supply Paper 817 (pp. 225-228) and Water-Supply Paper 840 (pp. 316- 

318).

To obtain records of the fluctuations of water level within the city 

well field, a well 6 inches in diameter and about 20 feet deep was drilled 

in January 1938 in the well field Just west of the pimping plant. This 

well is equipped with a Stevens type-P water-stage recorder and has been 

designated as well 33T. The measuring point is the top of the casing, 

about 0.5 foot above the land surface.

The following water levels, taken from the recorder charts, represent 

the minima on the days for which records are available.

The water levels in well 31T are not appreciably affected by pumping in the well field, and accordingly the records are valuable in showing natural recharge and discharge from the underground reservoir. In 

1938 the water levels declined more or less persistently through periods 

of deficient precipitation but recovered promptly on the recurrence of 

precipitation. No new maximum or minimum was recorded in this well for 

the year, and although precipitation at Elizabeth City amounted to 57.62 

inches in 1938 (or 10.12 inches above normal) the water level in well 

31T at the end of the year was essentially the same as at the beginning.

The water level records in well 33T reflect to a limited extent 

changes in the rate of pumping from the well field. As pumping is constantly in progress, however, fluctuations due to changes in pumping 

rate are much less pronounced than they would be if the pumping were 

intermittent. Despite changes in the rate of pumping, the effect of 

recharge from precipitation is reflected in the fluctuations of water 

level in this well. The highest water level for the period of record 

was 9.94 feet below the measuring point, and it occurred on December 27. 

The lowest level recorded was 13.19 feet on July 15. On December 31 the 

level was 10.88 feet below the measuring point or 1.58 feet higher than 

the level on January 9, 1938, the first day of record.

NORTH DAKOTA

By L. K. Wenzel and P. W. Voedisch

I/ 

The program of water-level measurements in wells in North Dakota

was continued in 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the North Dakota Geological Survey. In 1938 about 30 wells, many of 

them in the western part of the State, were added to the program, so that 

by the end of the year the water levels in about 80 wells were under 

observation. The wells are scattered throughout North Dakota to effect 

systematic observation of the fluctuations of water level in many of the 

underground reservoirs of the State.

Water levels in most of the wells are measured weekly by local observers employed for the project, but in some they are measured less frequently, and in a few they are measured only once a year. Water levels 

in about 20 of the wells are measured through the courtesy of city, 

State, and Federal agencies. About 2,600 measurements of water level 

were made in 1938. Two automatic water-stage recorders were operated 

during the year.

Many of the observation wells, especially in eastern North Dakota, 

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. Some of the wells in western North Dakota end in 

Tertiary or older formations. Several of the wells are definitely 

artesian, and the water levels in others may reflect artesian pressure. 

Some of the wells are pumped for domestic, stock, or public use, and a 

few are influenced by the pumping of other wells nearby.

The records of 65 observation wells, in 29 counties, on which satisfactory measurements were obtained in 1938 are given in this report. 

The wells are listed alphabetically by county and numerically within each 

county. Complete descriptions are given for only those wells whose 

records are not included in Water-Supply Paper 840. Except where otherwise noted, all water levels are expressed in feet above an assumed 

datum 100 feet below the water level in that well on January 1, 1958, or 

nearest date of measurement. The height of the measuring point above the 

datum for wells that have been established since January 1, 1938, has 

been interpolated on a later date from the average water level in a group

of selected -wells. 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. 

The water levels for any one well are directly comparable, even though 

the measuring point may have 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.

The water level in most of the observation wells has not been observed for a sufficient time to make possible a detailed interpretation 

of the fluctuations. A summary of the net changes in water level in 

1938, however, can be made for 35 wells. The water level in 10 of the 

wells stood higher, and in 25 of the wells lower, at the end of the year 

than at the beginning. There were net rises of 0.01 foot to 1.87 feet 

and net declines of 0.02 foot to 9.35 feet. The average net decline in 

water level for the year was 0.8 foot in the 35 wells. The precipitation 

in North Dakota in 1938, as recorded by the U. S. Weather Bureau, was 

only about 91 percent of the 1892-1938 average. This deficiency may 

account for the prevalence of net declines of water level in the year. 

Six wells pumped for public supply but not included in the summary above 

showed rather large net declines in 1938.

OHIO

SUTLER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES 

By P. H. Klaer, Jr.

In the summer of 1938 an intensive investigation of the ground-water 

conditions in Butler and Hamilton Counties, in southwestern Ohio, was begun 

by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Boards of County 

Commissioners of Butler and Hamilton Counties, Ohio. This study, which is

!/

the outgrowth of a preliminary investigation made in the fall of 1936 by 

D. G. Thompson of the Geological Survey, has for its purpose the determination of ground-water conditions in the area, including the safe yield of 

water-bearing beds and the consideration of methods for increasing the 

ground-water supply. The present investigation is being conducted by 

D. G. Thompson and P. H. Klaer, Jr., of the Geological Survey, under the 

general supervision of 0. E. MeInzer, geologist in charge of the division 

of ground water.

The general geology and ground-water conditions in Butler and Hamilton 

Counties are described by M. L. Fuller and P. G. Clapp in U. S. Geological 

Survey Water-Supply Paper 259, "The underground waters of southwestern 

Ohio." The area is underlain by a series of limestones and s>iales, 

generally referred to as the "bedrock," into which preglacial or interglacial streams cut deep valleys to depths of several hundred feet. The 

valleys were later filled with sand and gravel, interbedded with thin 

sheets of glacial till and of clay, which have since been reexcavated by 

the present streams, such as Mill Creek, the Little Miami River, and the 

Miami River. A part of the ancient valley system between Mill Creek and 

the Little Miami River, known as the Norwood Trough, has not been reexcavated and is now drained by two small tributaries to Mill Creek and the 

Little Miami River. The deposits of sand and gravel in the valleys constitute large underground reservoirs that supply water to many -industrial 

and municipal wells. The bedrock yields only small supplies of potable 

water to wells.

I/ Thompson, D. G., Ground-water supplies of Mill Creek Valley and 

the Norwood Trough near Cincinnati, Ohio: U. S. Geol. Survey Memorandum 

for the Press (mimeographed), 2 pp., Apr. 29, 1937.

OHIO 371

Many parts of the area are underlain by fairly continuous beds of 

blue clay, hardpan, and glacial till, which confine the water in the underlying gravels. Where the confining beds are sufficiently continuous and 

impermeable the water may be under artesian pressure, and where a moderate 

thickness of gravel overlies the confining beds a water table may also 

exist.

Large quantities of water are pumped from wells in the Mill Creek 

Valley between Ivorydale and Sharonville; from those eastward in the 

Norwood Trough, which extends to the Little Miami River; and from those 

in the valley of the Miami River near Hamilton and Middletown. A progressive decline in water levels has been noted for many years. The 

decline has not everywhere been uniform but has been greatest in the 

industrialized centers of Norwood, Ivorydale, Lockland, Hamilton, and 

Middletown. Precise information on the decline is not available because 

records of water levels for earlier years are chiefly approximate levels 

and are difficult to compare Trith those collected in this investigation.

The water level in Norwood, where the glacial till and outwash is 

about 250 feet thick, is reported to have been about 110 feet below the 

land surface in 1907. The present water level, as reflected by well 16, 

is about 190 feet below the land surface. A well at the plant of the 

Proctor and Gamble Company, in the Ivorydale area, near the junction of 

the Norwood Trough and Mill Creek Valley, is reported to have flowed at 

the land surface in 1883. The present water level in well 17, in the 

same locality, is about 86 feet below the land surface. Similar declines 

have occurred in Lockland, Hamilton and Middletown.

The wells in the area may be roughly divided into two general types: 

Shallow wells, generally dug or driven, which are used mainly for small 

domestic and farm supplies, except in the vicinity of Middletown, where 

many industrial wells are shallow; and deep wells, usually drilled to 

depths of between 100 and 250 feet, often to bedrock, which are used 

chiefly for industrial supply. Most of the shallow wells are affected 

by local precipitation and by high stages of nearby streams but are not 

appreciably affected by pumpage from other wells, except in the Middletown area. The deep wells generally show no immediate effect from local 

precipitation, and in general 'the fluctuations of water level in them 

appear to be related chiefly to variations in pumpage from nearby wells 

and to changes in atmospheric pressure.
372 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

As a part of the present Investigation, the water levels In 36 wells 

were measured at fairly regular Intervals during the latter part of 1938. 

Twelve automatic water-stage recorders were operated on wells In areas of 

heavy pumpage where fluctuations of water level are so large that Individual 

measurements taken at random are of little value. The lowest water levels 

reached each day In these wells were taken from recorder charts and are 

given In this report. Individual tape measurements are given for the 

other wells. Staff gages were Installed In several deep gravel pits In 

order to obtain measurements of water level In the shallow water horizon. 

Records of water level In 8 pits are given In this report. About 750 measurements of water level were made by D. G. Thompson, P. H. Klaer, Jr., 

and H. P. Plttman, from June 24, 1938,to December 31, 1938.

Panhandle Counties 

By S. L. Schoff

The observation-well program in Texas County, Oklahoma, reported in 

Water-supply Paper 840, pages 329-333, was continued in 1938 by the 

United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey, and was extended in August to include the other two Panhandle 

counties, Beaver and Cimarron. Measurements of water levels were made by 

the writer at intervals of about 2 months in 46 wells in Texas County, in 

45 wells in Beaver County, and in 24 wells in Cimarron County. A total 

of 420 individual measurements was made in 1938. Descriptions of the 

observation wells established in 1938 and records of the water-level measurements in all the wells are given herewith.

The Oklahoma Panhandle is about 165 miles from east to west and about 

35 miles from north to south and is divided into three counties of about 

equal size. Prom east to west these are Beaver, Texas, and Cimarron. The 

Panhandle as a whole is similar to Texas County, which was described in 

Water-Supply Paper 840. Entirely in the Great Plains physiographic province, it has large areas that are flat and nearly featureless. In places, 

however, sand dunes give rise to hills, and elsewhere the plain has been 

dissected by streams to produce two other types of topography valley flats 

or flood plains and "breaks" or uneven areas between stream valleys and 

upland.

As only one major stream crosses Texas County, not more than about 

a quarter of the land surface is in valleys and breaks; but as two major 

streams flow through parts of both Cimarron and Beaver Counties the proportion of irregular lands there is consequently larger. Beaver County 

also has more tributary streams than the other two counties, which further 

reduces the area of the upland plains.

Two main streams drain the area. Seneca (Cienequillia) and Currumpaw 

Creeks join to form Beaver River in southwestern Cimarron County. Beaver 

River takes a generally eastward course across the Panhandle, which It 

leaves for only about 12 miles near the southeastern corner of Cimarron 

County, and it joins Wolf Creek to form the North Canadian River in Woodward County. It is an ephemeral stream In Cimarron County and the southwestern part of Texas County, but it has a more or less perennial flow the

384
OKLAHOMA 385

rest of the way. Nearly all of its tributaries enter it in Texas and 

Beaver Counties, and most of the perennial ones come from the south.

Cimarron River enters Oklahoma in the northwestern part of Cimarron 

County and passes into Colorado about 12 miles west of the northeastern 

corner of the county. After entering Kansas it returns to Oklahoma near 

the middle of the northern boundary of Beaver County. Floods are frequent 

along the stretch of this river in Cimarron County, and water flows in the

channel at least part of the year. The part of the Cimarron River in

I/ 

Beaver County has a feeble perennial flow, and the tributaries within the

county are all short, the longest being about 10 miles long.

I/

As classified by Meinzer, the Oklahoma Panhandle is almost entirely

in the Great Plains Pliocene-Paleozoic ground-water province. The principal water-bearing formation is the Ogallala, of Pliocene (Tertiary) age. 

It is underlain throughout most of the area by relatively impervious red 

beds, of which part are Permian in age and part are tentatively assigned

5/ to the Triassic and Jurassic.

The extreme northwestern part of the Panhandle is part of the Great 

Plains Pliocene-Cretaceous ground-water province. This is the part of 

Cimarron County where the Cimarron River has cut away most of the Ogallala 

and has exposed Cretaceous rocks. Many springs issue from the Dakota sandstone in parts of its outcrop area. The Dakota sandstone and also the 

Cheyenne sandstone may be actual or potential sources of ground water for 

a considerable area in western Cimarron County.

The normal annual precipitation in the Oklahoma Panhandle ranges from 

about 20 Inches at Beaver, in Beaver County, to about 16 inches at Boise 

City, in Cimarron County. It has varied widely during the period of record. 

The maximum at Boise City is about 4-| times the minimum, and at Beaver the 

maximum is about 3 times the minimum. After 7 years of subnormal rainfall, 

the precipitation for 1938 at Panhandle stations was below normal by 

amounts ranging from 1.6 inches at Kenton to 4.16 inches at Hooker. At 

Boise City, however, it was 2.23 inches above normal.

386 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Water levels

The initial measurements in the Texas County observation wells were 

made in the course of routine field work and accordingly were spread over 

a period of several months. The month and day of the autumn measurements 

for 1938 in some wells have closely coincided with those of the initial 

1937 measurements, and in other wells the 1938 measurements were about a 

month earlier or later than the initial 1937 measurements. The following 

paragraphs offer a comparison of the water levels in 1937 and 1938 for 

Texas County.

In well 85 the water level was 1.21 feet higher on August 28, 1938, 

than it was on August 27, 1937. This is a shallow well beside a large 

ephemeral pond. The soil of the bottom of the pond is rather loose and 

porous and is extensively cracked. The pond contained water in August 

1937 but was generally dry, beginning in January 1938 if not earlier. 

However, water probably stood in the pond for short periods after heavy 

rains, of which there were several in the spring and summer. The rise of 

water level in the well implies that recharge of the underground reservoir 

occurred through the pond.

Water-level measurements in 14 wells were first made between September 7 and October 8, 1937, and were repeated on September 19, 20, and 28, 

1938. In 11 of these wells the rise in water level ranged from 0.03 foot 

to 0.65 foot, but in 3 of the wells the water levels declined by amounts 

ranging from 0.14 to 0.7 foot. The average change for the entire group 

of 14 wells was a rise of 0.18 foot. Of the wells showing a decline in 

water level, No. 497 is about 25 feet from an irrigation well that was 

pumped more heavily in 1938 than in 1937, and No. 172 is about 0.75 mile 

northeast of irrigation well 181 and about 2 miles northeast of irrigation 

well 179, both of which were pumped more heavily in 1938 than in 1937. 

For the other 12 wells the average rise during the year was 0.29 foot.

Wells 120, 530, 551, and 552 were first measured October 20 to 23, 

1937. In 1938 they were measured nearly a month earlier and also a month 

later. To afford a basis for comparison, estimates of the probable positions of the water levels in October 1938 were made by interpolating 

between the actual measurements of September and November 1938. In wells 

120 and 551 these interpolated water levels were 0.81 foot and 0.21 foot, 

respectively, higher than in October 1937, and in wells 530 and 552 the 

interpolated levels for 1938 were 0.06 and 0.16 foot lower than in October 

1937. The average change for these four wells is a rise of 0.2 foot.
OKLAHOMA 387

Water-level measurements In 11 wells were first made between October 

29 and December 19, 1937, and were repeated on November 19, 21, 22, and 24, 

1938. One additional well (No. 72) that was first measured on October 23, 

1937, is included in this group because lack of a measurement for September 

1938 makes it impossible to interpolate an October water level in the way 

explained above. The water levels in 8 of these wells were 0.02 foot to 

0.35 foot lower in 1938 than in 1937, and in the other 4 wells they were 

0.04 to 0.33 foot higher. The average change for this group of 12 wells 

was a decline of 0.01 foot.

Of the 31 Texas County wells for which comparisons between 1937 and 

1938 measurements are possible, the water levels in 18 wells rose by amounts 

ranging from 0.03 foot to 1.21 feet. The water levels in 13 wells declined 

by amounts ranging from 0.02 foot to 0.7 foot. The average change in the 

31 wells was a rise of 0.14 foot.

Although the records of water levels in Ciraarron and Beaver Counties 

are much shorter than those in Texas County, they are of interest because 

they indicate that recharge of the ground-water reservoir was greatest in 

Cimarron County, where the rains of September 1938 were heaviest. Recharge 

diminished eastward.

In September the water levels in 13 Cimarron County wells were 0.03 

foot to 1.09 feet higher than they had been in July, and in 6 wells they 

were 0.01 to 0.56 foot lower. The average for the 19 wells in Cimarron 

County was a rise of 0.10 foot. After September the water levels changed 

somewhat irregularly. In November the water levels in 12 wells were 0.01 

to 0.43 foot lower than in September, whereas the water levels in 6 wells 

were 0.01 to 0.62 foot higher. This was an average decline of 0.01 foot 

for the 18 wells.

In Texas County the water levels rose in 17 wells and declined in 12 

wells between July and September. This was an average rise of 0.08 foot 

in the 29 wells for the 2 months. Between September and November the water 

levels declined in 18 wells and rose in 14 wells. This was an average 

decline of 0.04 foot in the 32 wells for the 2 months.

In Beaver County the water levels in 27 wells declined between July 

and September by amounts ranging from 0.01 to 0.98 foot and rose in 17 

wells by amounts ranging from 0.01 to 0.34 foot. The average change from 

July to September in 44 wells in the county was a decline of 0.08 foot. 

In November the water levels in 34 wells were 0.02 to 0.68 foot lower than 

in September, and the water levels in 6 wells were 0.01 to 0.5 foot higher 

 an average decline of 0.15 foot for the 40 wells.

Texas County

Measurements of water levels were made In 46 wells In Texas County 

In 1938. In the course of the year 13 wells were added to the observation 

well program, and these are described In detail below* Some of them had 

been measured In 1937 In connection with a detailed Investigation of the 

ground-water resources of the county, and all of the 1937 measurements that 

were not reported In Water-Supply Paper 840 are Included here.

Wells 235, 369, and 618 became obstructed, and Well 354 was repaired 

and put Into use. Although these four have been dropped from the permanent 

list of Texas County observation wells, the measurements made In them 

during the early part of the year are reported below.

Well 182 was measured only once, 3 wells were measured twice, 8 wells 

were measured 3 times, 6 wells were measured 4 times, 8 wells were measured 

5 times, 19 wells were measured 6 times, and Well 85 was measured 8 times. 

A total of 217 measurements was made In observation wells In Texas County 

In 1938.

Wells described In Water-Supply Paper 840 are Identified by number, 

owner's name, and location; and additional Information regarding measuring 

points for some of them Is given. Water levels are given In feet 'below a 

measuring point at each well.

400 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

STILLWATER CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Flshel

!/ 

The observation-well program In the Stlllwater Creek area, near

Stlllwater, Okla., was continued In 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, Robert N, Wall, 

project manager. During the year W. A. Prater and J. Prank Relf, of the 

Soil Conservation Service, made about 600 Individual water-level measurements In 14 wells, Including well 17, which until July 6 was equipped with 

a water-stage recorder.

The average water levels given In the following table are computed 

from measurements made In 12 wells (1-4, 7-9, 11-13, 15, and 17). The 

water levels declined an average of 0.36 foot during January 1938 and on 

January 31 reached the lowest stage of the period of observation, which 

began In June 1934. At the end of January the water levels were 4.82 feet 

lower than the highest stage on record, which was reached July 1, 1935. 

As abundant precipitation during the spring of 1938 produced the first 

appreciable recharge since June 1935, the water levels on June 27 averaged 

1.94 feet higher than on January 31j they were, In fact, higher than at 

any time since June 1936. Prom March 21 to March 28 the water levels In 

4 wells (1, 2, 7, and 16) rose an average of 11.39 feet, of which 9.60 feet 

was lost by April 4. This abnormal fluctuation In the 4 wells was the 

chief cause of the unusual rise on March 28 and decline on April 4 of the 

average water levels In the 12 wells.

Precipitation was light during the latter half of 1938, and the water 

levels declined steadily from the latter part of June to December 31. 

Although the water levels at the end of the year averaged about 1 foot 

lower than on June 27, they nevertheless averaged about half a foot higher 

than at the end of 1937.

OREGON

By G. A. LaRocque, Jr., and A. M. Piper

Through cooperation of the Federal Geological Survey and the Oregon 

State Engineer, water-level measurements were continued In the Walla Walla 

Basin during 1938 and, late In the year, were resumed In the Baker Valley, 

the Port Rock Valley, the Grande Ronde Valley, and the Harney Basin after 

a lapse of 1 year. All these areas lie east of the Cascade Mountains in 

the semlarld part of the State. Late In 1938 water-level measurements were 

resumed also In the Wlllamette Valley, which Is In a relatively humid part 

of the State between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast Range.

In nearly all parts of Oregon for which records are available, groundwater levels were moderately high during 1938, even though the summer and 

autumn rainfall was deficient In many parts of the State. This high groundwater stage doubtless resulted from extensive replenishment that took place 

late In 1937 and early In 1938.

Water-level observations were resumed In 1938 on water-table wells In 

the semlarld basins In southeastern Oregon, as follows: On five In the 

Baker Valley, on four In the Grande Ronde Valley, and on nine In the Harney 

Valley, where measurements were resumed also on two deep wells that tap 

confined water. In the Port Rock Valley, measurements were resumed on four 

deep wells that tap confined water and were started on two other deep wells 

and on one water-table well.

In all these water-table wells, the water level Is judged to have been 

moderately higher than In 1936, although as Is shown by the water-level 

records comparative measurements at the same season of the year are available only for the Harney Valley. In the deep wells of the Port Rock 

Valley the water level continued to decline, though at half the rate of 

that from 1932 to 1936. On the other hand, In one deep well of the Harney 

Valley the water level early In 1938, before the pumping season started, 

was slightly higher than In 1937 and about 2 feet higher than In 1936.

In the Walla Walla Basin, water-level measurements were continued In 

1938 on 20 observation wells. In 2 of these wells, which are equipped with 

float gages, 216 measurements of water level were made, largely by the 

owners acting as voluntary observers without pay; In the remaining 18 wells, 

294 measurements were made by the district watermaster. The following

table shows the yearly range In ground-water level.

In the Willamette Valley the shallow ground water is replenished 

largely by infiltration from rain on the plain of the valley. As there 

is very little rain in summer and early autumn, the moisture in the soil 

is usually depleted, and the water table is at a low stage just before the 

rainy season. Once the soil is saturated, however, the table begins to 

rise, and the rise is sharp if severe rainstorms follow. When the rainy 

season starts early, the water table may begin to rise in midautumn, so 

that by December it may have risen almost to its highest stage; but, if 

the rainy season starts late in the year, the water table may remain low 

through November and may not reach its high stage until the following 

spring. Accordingly, year-end water levels in wells are likely to be 

somewhat unreliable as an index to the annual change in ground-water 

storage.

In this report most of the observation wells have been renumbered 

to show their location in the official rectangular system for subdivision 

of the public land. For example, the number preceding the hyphen for 

well 23/32-7Q3, in the Harney Valley, is an abbreviation for township and 

range (T. 23 S., R. 32 E.). The one or two digits following the hyphen 

indicate the section, and the letter that follows indicates the 40-acre 

subdivision of the section as shown in the accompanying diagram. Within 

each 40-acre tract the wells are numbered serially as indicated by the 

final digit of the field number.

Thus, well 7Q3 ia the third well to be listed in the SW-JSE-i sec. 7. 

Because nearly all of Oregon lies in the southeast quadrant of the Willamette Meridian and Base Line, the locations of wells in that quadrant are 

written as in the foregoing example. Numbers for wells in the remaining 

three quadrants carry suitable abbreviations for the cardinal directions; 

thus, the first part of the number for a well in T. 3 N., R. 5 W. is 

written 3N/5W.

PENNSYLVANIA

By Raymond W. Sundstrom

The State-wide program of observing ground-water conditions in Pennsylvania, which was started in 1931, was continued during 1938 in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Topographic and Geologic Survey. Weekly 

water-level observations were made in 30 wells distributed over the 

State and a total of 1,554 individual measurements for the year. An automatic water-stage recorder and a precipitation station were maintained 

at well 100, and weekly records of precipitation were collected at wells 

57 and 115. Observers of some of the other wells made weekly comments 

on local weather conditions.

The history and records of the observation-well program prior to 

1938 are published in Water-Supply Papers 777 (pp. 160-169), 817 (pp. 

260-301), and 840 (pp. 347-364). A report by Lohman-', published in 

1938, contains information on the fluctuations of water levels in some of 

the wells included in the present observation program. This report is 

the fifth in a series of six bulletins^/.

The weekly average water levels in the observation wells in 1938, 

expressed in feet above assumed datum planes, are given in the following 

table. The averages include records for all wells except well 115, near 

Rockwood, Somerset County. This well is 450 feet deep, and the water 

level in it appears not to fluctuate closely with the precipitation.

Water levels in the observation wells on January 1, 1938, averaged 

14.50 feet above the assumed datum planes. After a small decline in the 

first half of January the water levels began an irregular rise that culminated, on March 19, in the highest average stage of the year 16.20 

feet. Prom this high stage the levels declined irregularly but persistently through the spring and summer until on September 10 they reached 

the lowest average level of the year 10.76 feet. The levels then rose

an average of 1.85 feet in the remainder of the year but ended 1938 with 

a net decline of 1.89 feet.

The fluctuations of water level in 1938 differed only slightly from 

those of previous years, except for the rather large decline occurring 

in the last 3 weeks of December. Prom December 10 to December 31, when 

ground-water levels generally rise, the water levels declined from an average stage of 14.24 feet to one of 12.61 feet. This unseasonal fluctuation accounts largely for the fact that the average stage was lower at 

the end of 1938 than at the end of 1937.

The highest and lowest average levels of the year were both normal 

seasonal stages. The highest stage in 1938 was 1.67 feet lower than 

that recorded on March 21, 1936, which occurred at the time of devastating floods in Pennsylvania and which was the highest stage of the period 

of record. The lowest stage in 1938 was 1.03 feet above the lowest 

stage on record, which occurred October 1, 1932, after a period of subnormal precipitation. The average water levels fluctuated 5.44 feet In 

1938, a range about equal to the average in previous years. Water levels in 10 wells reached new low stages for the period of observation in 

1938, and water levels in 6 wells reached new high stages.

The water-level records collected in 1938 are given on the following pages. Water levels are expressed in feet above assumed datum 

planes. None of the wells was affected by pumping.

TIGER RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Flshel

I/ 

The observation-well program In the Tiger River area In Spartanburg

and Greenville Counties, S. C., was continued In 1938 by the Federal 

Geological Survey In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, 

S. L. Jeffords, project manager. During the year M. E. Franklin, of the 

Soil Conservation Service, made water-level measurements in 25 wells.

Average water levels for 1938 were computed from the water levels 

in 17 wells (1-3, 4, 6-7, 9, 12, 15-16, 33-38, and 40) the same wells 

that were used in 1937. Thus the 1938 averages are a continuation of 

those given in Water-supply Paper 840.

As indicated by the records of water level in the Tiger River area 

in 1935, 1936, and 1937, considerable ground-water recharge occurs in the 

first half of the year but very little in the last half. Thus there is 

usually a somewhat steady rise in water levels in the early part of each 

year and a somewhat persistent decline in the latter part. In 1938, 

however, the precipitation for the first 3 months was about 6 inches below 

normal and for the next 3 months about normal. Nearly all of the water 

that seeped into the ground was held in the soil and very little reached 

the water table. As a result water levels in the wells fluctuated unseasonably and began to decline early in 1938. This decline continued into 

the summer and fall so that by the end of the year the water levels reached 

the lowest average stage for the period of record, which began in 1934. 

The water levels on January 1, 1939, averaged 2.62 feet lower than on 

January 1, 1938, 5.64 feet lower than on April 5, 1937, 3.00 feet lower 

than on January 1, 1937, 0.18 foot lower than on January 1, 1936, and 0.08 

foot lower than on January 1, 1935.

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, and 840 for records of groundwater levels, 1934-37.

SOUTH DAKOTA

CITY OP HURON 

By A. N. Sayre

Water-level measurements In gage hole 1 and records of pumpage from 

wells near Huron prior to 1938 were given in Water-Supply Papers 817 and 

840. The water levels and pumpage data for the Huron well field given in 

this report are interpolated from a graph furnished by D. I. Sears, city 

manager of Huron.

The well field was the chief source of supply for Huron in 1938, and 

the pumpage from the wells about 230 million gallons was more than twice 

that of 1937. The James River supply was used only from May 12 to June 2. 

The water level in the observation well at the end of 1938 was 3.1 feet 

lower than on December 25, 1937, 5.6 feet lower than on December 31, 1936, 

and 6.2 feet lower than on December 31, 1935.

Water level, in feet below measuring point, in an observation

well near Huron, S. Dak., and pumpage from city

wells, in millions of gallons a month, 1938.

a City water supply pumped from James River May 12 to June 2,

TENNESSEE

Memphis

Measurements of water level in the Central Avenue observation well

I/ in Memphis were continued until July 1, 1938,under the supervision of

Mr. C. E. McCashin, district engineer in Chattanooga, and after that 

date under the supervision of Mr. J. L. Saunders, district engineer in 

Port Smith, Ark. Measurements of water level in the Auction Avenue "wet 

well," for which records were published in Water-Supply Papers 817 and 

840, were discontinued shortly after October 5, 1957, because of the 

filling of the well. The fluctuations of water level in the Auction 

Avenue "wet well" represented the combined effects of changes in head in 

many wells originally about 100 that penetrate the Wilcox group, all of 

which flow into tunnels leading into the "wet well." Abandonment of this 

well for purposes of observation made it desirable to attempt to locate 

another well that would give an essentially similar record. Through the 

cooperation of the Memphis Water Department L. L. Laine, of the district 

office at Port Smith, Ark., installed on August 31 a continuous waterstage recorder on another well that is connected with the same system of 

tunnels. This well, located at Fifth Street and Sycamore Avenue, about 

150 yards north of the Auction Avenue "wet well" in Memphis, consists of 

a work shaft communicating with one of the main tunnels of the Auction 

Avenue well field. Although definite information is not available, the 

shaft presumably is over a well that extends downward from the tunnel. 

It is believed that the record of water-level fluctuations from this shaft 

or well reflects closely within a few hundredths or tenths of a foot 

fluctuations in the tunnel at the old "wet well." This shaft will be referred to simply as the "Sycamore Avenue well."

The Sycamore Avenue well is 50 feet southwest of the corner of the 

street intersection and about the same distance northeast of a city of 

Memphis warehouse. The measuring point of the well is the top edge of 

a short vertical piece of 30-inch corrugated iron pipe over the manhole 

of the work shaft of a slot in the recorder platform, 0.5 foot above the 

concrete roof of the manhole, which is level with the land surface. The 

altitude of the measuring point is 229.76 feet above mean Gulf level and 

42.00 feet above an arbitrary datum.

The measurements published in Water-Supply Papers 817 and 840 for the

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 817 and 840.

437
438 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

observation wells in Memphis were given as daily average water levels, 

determined from recorder charts, in feet above the arbitrary datum. In 

the present report, the measurements are given as the lowest water levels 

reached each day, determined from recorder charts, in feet above the 

arbitrary datum. The arbitrary datum of the Central Avenue well is 206.20 

feet above mean Gulf level and 85.00 feet below the measuring point; that 

of the Sycamore Avenue well is 187.76 feet above mean Gulf level and 42.00 

feet below the measuring point.

Lowest water level recorded each day, in feet above arbitrary 

datum, in Central Avenue well, 1938

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By S. P. Turner

The state-wide program of water-level measurements In wells in Texas, 

which Is being carried on In connection with detailed investigations of 

ground-water resources in several parts of the State by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Texas State Board of Water Engineers, was continued in 1938. These cooperative studies were begun in 

1929 with the intention that eventually investigations of the occurrence 

of ground water would be made in each county of the State. The work completed or in progress prior to 1938 was described in Water-Supply Papers 

777, 817, and 840, and In the reports referred to therein.

Measurements of water level in wells, started in 1930-31, were continued in the Houston area and adjacent region in Galveston, Harris, 

Montgomery, and Waller Counties. C. R. Pollett was assigned to this 

region in October 1938. Many wells have been added to the observation 

lines. The lowering of water levels because of a large Increase in pumping for a new industrial development, started in March 1937 and mentioned 

in Water-Supply Paper 840, has continued. Its effect has steadily moved 

out in all directions and is especially pronounced up the dip of the 

water-bearing sands northwest of the new development. The effect In the 

western part of Houston at a distance of 13 miles west-northwest is illustrated by the hydrograph of well 602(|flg. 7 ). Water levels near the 

center of the area of increased pumping recovered somewhat in the early 

part of 1958 and then remained fairly constant, but according to available 

information the average rate of daily pumping for the new development wag 

somewhat less in 1938 than in the summer and fall of 1937. A mimeographed 

paper entitled "Progress report on the ground-water resources of the 

Houston district, Texas," by W. N. White, was released on July 1, 1938, 

by the State Board of Water Engineers. The effect of the increased pumpIng on water levels in wells in and about the city of Houston to May 1938 

was discussed in that paper.

Water-level measurements In observation wells In the Winter Garden 

district in Dimmit, Zavala, and Maverick Counties, started in 1929-30, 

were continued (fig. 8 ).

Investigations that were begun In the El Paso area in 1935 were continued In 1938, the pumpage data and water-level measurements In wells 

In the area being collected at monthly Intervals by R. H. Colvln of the 

El Paao Department of Water and Sewerage, under the direction of 

A. N. Sayre.

The atate-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 1938. Records of wells, drillers' logs, waterlevel measurements, water analyses, and maps showing location of wells 

were released in mimeographed form for each of the following counties: 

Austin, Coleman, Colorado, Hale, Lamb, Midland, Panola, Parmer, Potter, 

Randall, Refugio, Shelby, and a part of Brown, DeWitt, Ployd, Goliad, 

Hartley, and Oldham. Similar mimeographed reports were released by the 

State Board of Water Engineers for each of the following counties: 

Dawaon, Deaf Smith, Hays, Hidalgo, and Swisher. The data on these counties were obtained during investigations of State Board of Water Engineers in cooperation with the Geological Survey, Periodic water-level 

measurements were made in many of these and of other counties by W. 0. 

George, B. A. Barnes, G. H. Cromack, L. C. Halpenny, and 0. G. Eurio, 

under the direction of S, P. Turner.

Field work was completed by Penn Livingston and R. R. Bennett on 

the study of the geology and the ground-water supplies of the Big 

Spring area in Howard County. A manuscript report released for public 

inspection may be consulted in the offices of the Geological Survey at 

Washington, D. C., and of the Texas State Board of Water Engineers at 

Austin, Texas.

The investigation of ground-water resources of much of the High 

Plains of Texas was continued by J. W. Lang and W. L. Broadhurst under 

the direction of W. N. White. During the year water-level measurements 

were made on wells in the following counties in the High Plains: 

Andrews, Bailey, Castro, Cochran, Crosby, Dallam, Dawson, Deaf Smith, 

Ector, Floyd, Gaines, Hale, Hansford, Hemphill, Hockley, Howard, Lamb, 

Lubbock, Lynn, Martin, Midland, Moore, Ochiltree, Parmer, Potter, 

Randall, Roberts, Sherman, Swisher, and Terry. A mimeographed pamphlet 

entitled "Ground water in the High Plains in Texas," by W. N. White, 

W. L. Broadhurst, and J. W. Lang, was released on July 26, 1938.

444 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1938

Systematic measurements of ground-water levels were continued in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service in the Elm Creek and Deer 

Creek areas near Temple.

Investigations along the Balcones fault line were continued. Waterlevel measurements were made at monthly intervals in wells along the 

line from Austin through San Antonio to Del Rio. Detailed work is being 

done in Kinney County by R. R. Bennett under the direction of A. N. 

Sayre. Work in Hays and Travis Counties was carried on by W. 0. George 

and B. A. Barnes under the direction of S. P. Turner.

A line of observation wells crossing the outcrops of the main 

Tertiary sands has been laid out from Austin northeastward to the east 

Texas line. This line of observation wells is shown on the index map 

(fig. 6 ). Observations were made on these wells at intervals of 3 

months.

Measurements were made in observation wells near the rice fields in 

Jackson, Matagorda, and Wharton Counties at 3-month intervals. Three 

measurements were made in 1938 on observation wells in and near the 

irrigated areas of Brooks, Duval, and Kleberg Counties.

Reference benchmarks were set near each observation well, and detailed plane table sketches were made showing the location of the 

benchmarks, the observation wells, and nearby buildings and roads on 

the following observation routes: The east Texas line, the Balcones 

line, the Winter Garden line through Dimmit and Zavala Counties, the 

lines in the Houston-Galveston area, and the Jackson, Wharton, and 

Matagorda County lines. This work was done by B. A. Barnes and 0. G. 

Kurio, These reference benchmarks and sketches should prove invaluable in the future.

In the following tables measurements not preceded by a plus sign 

indicate depths to water level below measuring point; measurements 

preceded by a plus sign indicate height of water above measuring 

point.

El Paso County 

By A. N. Sayre

Periodic measurements of depth to water level and estimates of 

pumpage from wells in the El Paso area were made in 1938 by the El Paso 

Water Board in cooperation with the Federal Geological Survey. Robert H. 

Colvin of the El Paso Department of Water and Sewerage collected the data 

under the direction of A. N. Sayre, of the Geological Survey. At the end 

of the year, 45 wells were being measured monthly. Continuous wttterlevel records were obtained on wells 41, 51, and 75b. Some of the wells 

measured were pumped constantly for periods of several months, and the 

water levels measured during these periods are pumping levels. On other 

wells, pumped periodically, an attempt was made to determine the static 

level, although for most of the measurements in this group of wells there 

may have been a slight residual draw-down from the last pumping period 

before the measurement was made. Wells 21, 22, 40, 41, 51, 53, 64, 75b, 

76, 78c, 112, 130, and 136 were measured but were not pumped during the 

year, but most of them were sufficiently near the pumped wells to be considerably affected by the pumping. Wells 64, 76, 78c, 130, and 136 were 

sufficiently distant from the pumped wells to be affected only slightly.

The total pumpage in the El Paso area during 1938 was estimated to 

be a little less than during 1937. The average daily pumpage was 

16,234,000 gallons, as compared with 16,700,000 gallons in 1937. The 

smallest daily pumpage occurred in January, when the daily average was 

11,894,000 gallons; the largest occurred in June, when the daily average 

was 21,728,000 gallons. The total pumpage in the El Paso area amounted 

to about 5,900,000,000 gallons. The city pumped 3,037,000,000 gallons from 

11 wells. The city pumpage was nearly equally distributed among the following areas: The downtown area with 3 wells; the Montana field, near 

the eastern limits of the city, with 3 wells; and the Mesa field, about 3

a Pumping about 0.5 gallons a minute.
TEXAS 473

miles ME of the Montana field, with 5 wells, 2 of which were put in 

operation for the first time this year.

As the pumpage in the downtown area was somewhat greater than in 

1937 most of the water levels in that area declined slightly. Pumpage 

in the Montana field was 239,000,000 gallons less than in 1937. In addition, much less water was pumped in November and December than in the 

same months of the preceding year, so that in the area of influence of 

this field the water levels were much higher at the end of the year 

than at the end of 1937. Pumpage in the Mesa field increased about 

20,000,000 gallons in 1938. Despite this slight increase water levels 

rose in most wells in the area. The rise in water levels was probably 

due to the fact that the two new wells extended about 1 mile, the length 

of the field. Thus, a]though the area of the cone of depression was 

increased its depth was decreased, and water levels within the cone 

were slightly higher.

In the following table the water levels are expressed in feet 

above mean sea level. Well numbers correspond to those in Water-Supply 

Paper 817 except for wells added to the program since 1937. The highest 

and lowest water levels on record, except as noted in this report, are 

given in Water-Supply Paper 840.

The investigation of the ground-water resources of the Big Spring 

area, Howard County, was terminated in 1938 and periodic observations 

were discontinued on most of the wells whose records are published in

Water-Supply Papers 817 and 840. A report giving the results of the in-

!/ vestigation is in preparation. Daily water-level measurements for 1938

in 3 wells, City of Big Spring wells 51, 56, and 65, furnished by E. V. 

Spence, City Manager, and one water-level measurement in each of 3 wells, 

City of Big Spring wells 18, 37, and 45, made by Penn Livingston of the 

Federal Survey', are recorded below.

In addition to the City of Big Spring wells, measurements are given 

in this report for 14 wells in Howard County whose records were obtained 

in connection with the State-wide program of water-level measurements. 

The numbers of these wells, from 606 to 915, correspond to those given 

in Water-Supply Paper 840 and in a report, entitled "Howard County, 

Texas, Records of wells, etc.," Works Progress Administration, Groundwater survey Project 2091, Board of Water Engineers, 1937 (mimeographed).

ELM.CREEK AND DEER CREEK AREAS OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

I/ 

The observation-well program in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek areas

near Temple, Tex., was continued In 1938 by the Federal Geological Survey 

In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. Measurements of water 

level by the wetted-tape method were made In 15 wells; 4 wells (6, 14, 23, 

and 28) were equipped with water-stage recorders throughout the year; and 

another well (4) was equipped with a recorder until April 11. No measurements were made on well 13. About 900 Individual water-level measurements 

were made In 1938.

Heavy precipitation In November and December 1937 resulted In average 

rise of about 4 feet In water level. The water levels on January 1, 1938, 

however, were about 2.0 feet lower than on January 1, 1937, but about 5.0 

feet higher than on January 1, 1935. The water levels had risen an average 

of about 1.5 feet by May 20, 1938, the highest average stage of the year. 

The precipitation in this area from May 20 to December 31 was not sufficient

The ground-water investigation in the State of Utah during 1938,

1? 

following essentially the program begun in 1935, was made in financial

cooperation with the State engineer of Utah. The number of observation 

wells increased from about 550 at the end of 1937 to about 680 at the 

end of 1938, at which time 27 recording gages were being maintained in 

Utah by the Geological Survey. W. Kenneth Bach was employed as Junior 

engineering field aid in October 1938,

Most of the measurements of ground-water levels published herewith 

were made by the Geological Survey. However, some of the measurements 

in Salt Lake County, obtained in the field by Messrs. A. J. Lazenby, 

T. F. McDonald, and J. A. Ward, were supplied through the courtesy of 

Mr, G. D. Keyser, commissioner of water supply and waterworks, Salt Lake 

City Corporation. Several of the measurements in Iron County were obtained 

by Mr. E. H. Larson, assistant engineer, Utah State Agricultural Experiment 

Station, as a result of a cooperative agreement between the Utah State 

engineer and the Utah State Agricultural Experiment Station, and by the 

State engineer, as a result of a cooperative agreement between himself and 

the Works Progress Administration. Most of the measurements obtained in 

cooperation with the Works Progress Administration are not Included in 

this report but are on file in the office of the State engineer in Salt 

Lake City. Many measurements in Utah County, made by Mr. Henry R. Watson, 

were furnished through the courtesy of the Board of Canal Presidents and 

of Mr. S. T. Hardlng, consulting engineer. The following made measurements of ground-water levels in connection with their part-time duties of 

servicing recording gages t Messrs. Pernleigh Gardner, Martin L. Skougaard, 

and Clarence B. Skougaard in Iron County, Howard W. Gospill and Jack B. 

Bardsley in Beaver County, R. A. Olsen in Sanpete County, L. T. Liddell 

in Tooele County, and W. S. Lemon in Davis County.

The Salt Lake City Corporation continued to maintain several recording 

gages and to make many measurements in Salt Lake County besides those 

included in this report. The Geological Survey maintains two recording 

gages in Hasatch County through the courtesy of the Bureau of Reclamation, 

which is conducting a detailed investigation concerning the Deer Creek Dam 

on the Provo River.

The State engineer, In connection with his administration of underground water In Utah, continued to locate and gather other Information on

2/

wells, drains, and tunnels. He reports that on June 30, 1938, there were

In the State 22,627 known flowing and pumped wells, of which 16,675 were 

claimed according to State law. The control of flowing wells undoubtedly 

contributed to the rise of ground-water levels In many areas and retarded 

the decline In other areas. Inasmuch as 3,000 of an estimated 4,000 

uncontrolled wells were brought under control during the past 3 years 

about 30,000 acre-feet of water were saved annually. A summary of the

cooperative Investigations In Utah conducted by the Geological Survey

3/

appears In the State engineer's twenty-first biennial report.

Detailed Investigations of ground-water conditions In the Beryl 

district and In Cedar City Valley, both In Iron County, were continued on 

a restricted scale during 1938.

A summary of the net change In ground-water levels In observation 

wells In Utah In 1938 and a comparison with the net changes In 1936 and 

1937 are given In the following table. This summary does not Include all 

the wells that are being measured periodically, because a yearly comparison In some of them could not be made, and the location or Individual 

characteristic of other wells did not justify their Inclusion. Net changes 

In water level are based on measurements made during the fall and winter 

of each year, principally on those of December or in a few instances on 

interpolations of the position of the water level during December.

Ground-water levels rose during 1938 in 16 areas of the State 

(Pig. 9 ) of which all but 3 are south of Salt Lake City. Levels in 6 

areas showed essentially no change from 1937 to 1938 and in 9 areas 

showed a drop from 0.3 foot (Sanpete Valley and East Shore area of Weber 

County) to 0.9 foot (Upper Sevier and Bear Lake Valleys).

Three areas in which levels dropped (Davis County, Weber County, and 

Sanpete Valley) contain extensive ground-water developments and are areas 

where the control of flowing wells has probably been least successful in 

north Davis and south Weber Counties because the strata of fine sand 

surrounding most of the wells creates the danger of possible stoppage 

of flow; in Sanpete Valley because of the lack of cooperation of well 

owners in the control of flowing wells and because of poorly constructed 

wells.

Ground-water levels rose considerably in three areas in the southwestern part of the State. One of the most consistent rises, totaling 

8.2 feet in the past 3 years, was in the Milford district, Beaver County. 

For several years prior to 1935 the levels in this area had declined, but 

since then greater amounts of surface water have been available for irrigation so that an increase in ground-water recharge from irrigation and 

stream seepage and a decrease in the quantity of ground water pumped for 

irrigation have resulted. The experience of the past decade indicates 

that the Milford district has a ground-water reservoir that can be depleted 

to augment the surface-water supply for irrigation in years of low stream 

flow and that can be readily recharged during years when surface run-off 

is above normal. Thus, by intelligent cooperation among users of surface 

water and ground water the underground basin might be used as a balancing 

reservoir to be depleted during years of subnormal precipitation and run-off 

and to be replenished during years when run-off is above normal. A fairly 

constant supply of water for irrigation would then be available each year.
UTAH 561

Ground-water levels In the Cedar City and Parowan Valleys Increased 

3.6 and 6.2 feet, respectively, In 1937 and 1938, probably because of a recharge that was above normal with no corresponding Increase In ground-water 

discharge. However, the ground-water storage In these two valleys was 

greatly reduced during the years preceding 1936, and levels are still much 

lower than they were during the first years of ground-water development.

Ground-water levels In the valleys of the Jordan River and Utah Lake 

Increased an average of 5.2 and 9.8 feet, respectively, during 1936-38, but 

the rise, as In most other areas In the State, was less In 1938 than In the 

two preceding years.

Average ground-water levels In Tooele Valley, a critical area during 

the past few years, rose slightly but regularly during 1936-38. Most of the 

rise, however, occurred In the Grantsvllle district, whereas In the Erda 

district, which showed essentially no change during 1938, the water was 

lower at the end of 1938 than at the end of 1935. The difference In the 

trend of ground-water levels Is probably an Indication of the difference 

In the control of flowing wells In the two areas.

The following tabulation Includes all measurements of water levels made 

by the Geological Survey In the wells of Utah In 1938, plus a few made before January 1, 1938, that were not Included In earlier publications. The 

tabulation also Includes dally water levels obtained from 27 recording gages, 

about 5,750 periodic measurements made on 684 observation wells, and about 

180 measurements made on wells not measured periodically.

Measurements of depth to water level and of artesian pressure were made 

by the Geological Survey except as noted. Plowing wells were closed 10 minutes before measurement of 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 by the State engineer.

Observation wells In the following tabulation are arranged alphabetically by county and numerically within each county. Throughout this report

!/

the well number Indicates the location by land subdivision. Where the present number conflicts with that published In Water-Supply Paper 840, the former number Is given after the well number. The number of each well for which 

measurements were published In Water-Supply Paper 840 or In an earlier paper 

Is preceded by an asterisk. For such wells descriptive data are omitted except where a correction or addition to the data previously published Is made.

In the column headed "Water level" the minus sign indicates depth to 

water below the measuring point, and the plus sign indicates the artesian

pressure head.________ _____________________________

VIRGINIA

!/ 

The observation-well program in Virginia was continued in 1938.

Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on the Bacon, Ross, Swart 

Stream, Swart 5, and Swart 162 wells, and weekly measurements were made 

on the other wells. The Burke well was discontinued as an observation 

well in May 1938. Periodic measurements were started on the Jefferson 

School well in Palls Church in 1937, but measurements of water level in 

this well are included for the first time in the 1938 report. About 750 

individual measurements of water levels were made during 1938. No changes 

were made in measuring points in 1938.

The Jefferson School well, a 6-inch drilled well 765 feet in depth, 

is near the southeast corner of the Jefferson School, in Palls Church. 

The measuring point is the top edge of the concrete platform, about 1 

foot above the land surface.

The year 1938 was one of unusually low water levels in northern 

Virginia. The precipitation in each of the first 6 months of 1938 was 

below normal, and the cumulative deficit for this period amounted to 

about 7 inches. As a result recharge to the underground reservoirs was 

small, and the usual seasonal decline in water levels began very early in 

the year. Although precipitation during July, August, and September was 

above normal practically none reached the water table because that which 

seeped into the ground was used by the vegetation or stored in the upper 

few feet of soil. The long downward trend of the water levels during the 

summer and fall of 1938 was finally terminated by the combined effects of 

the rain of 0.79 inch on November 19, the rain of 0.77 inch on November 24, 

and the slow melting of 7 inches of snow that fell on November 25.

The water level in the Bacon well stood 15.55 feet below the measuring point on January 1, 1938. Prom this stage it declined 0.88 foot by 

February 17 and then rose 0.75 foot by the end of the month. Prom March 1 

the water level in the well declined steadily until August 5, when the 

downward trend was temporarily interrupted by a rise that reached 0.32 

foot on August 8. Thereafter the downward trend was resumed, and it was 

not halted until late November, when considerable rain and snow fell. The 

water level in the well declined 4.55 feet from January 1 to November 28, 

then rose 1.18 feet by December 31, and thus showed a net decline in 1938 

of 3.37 feet. The water level on November 28 was at the lowest stage 

since November 1932, but this stage was only 0.01 foot lower than that of 

December 4, 1936.

The water level in the Bell well, which stood 2.98 feet below the 

measuring point on January 3, 1938, declined 7.31 feet by October 31, then 

rose 6.22 feet by December 27, and thus showed a net decline of 1.09 feet 

in the year.

The water level in the Glendale Farm well stood 13.47 feet below the 

measuring point on January 2, 1938. The water level rose 1.35 feet during 

January and February but declined 2.70 feet from early March to the middle 

of July. Heavy precipitation during July caused the water level to rise 

0.84 foot by August 7, but from this date to November 6 it declined 2.83 

feet. On November 6 it reached the lowest stage since observations were 

begun, in October 1935. The water level rose 1.21 feet by December 25, 

and on this date stood 2.13 feet lower than at the end of 1937.

The water level in the Halls Hill School well was 23.70 feet below 

the measuring point on January 3, 1938. From this stage it rose 1.67 feet 

by April 18 and then declined steadily until November 28. It rose 0.21 

foot between November 28 and December 27. The April-November decline was 

5.57 feet, and the net decline in 1938 was 3.54 feet. The water level on 

November 28 was at the lowest stage since March 1933 and was 0.69 foot 

lower than the low stage in December 1936.

The water level in the Ross well in 1938 followed very closely the 

trend of the water level in the Halla Hill School well. It stood 23.44 

feet below the measuring point on January 1, 1938. A net decline of 0.54 

foot occurred between January 1 and February 21 and then a rise of 1.16 

feet was recorded by March 6. The water level then declined 3.67 feet by 

December 2 but recovered 0.33 foot by December 31. The net decline waa

2.61 feet during 1938. The water level on December 2 was at the lowest stage 

since December 1931 and was 0.01 foot lower than on December 18, 1936.

The water levels in the Bacon, Glendale Farm, Halls Hill School, and 

Ross wells had an average net decline of 2.9 feet in 1938.

PALOUSE RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By G. A. LaRocque, Jr., and A. M. Piper

!/ The observation-well program in the Palouse River area of the Soil

Conservation Service, in Whitman County, Wash., and Latah County, Idaho, 

was continued in 1938 by that agency in cooperation with the Geological 

Survey. Of the 46 wells under observation on December 31, 1937, waterlevel measurements were continued during 1938 in all but well 7, which 

was put to use for watering stock. One new water-table well (well 7a 

instead of well 7) was dug in 1938. Water-level measurements were resumed in well 19 after a lapse of about 2-J years but were discontinued 

at wells 2, 14,_20, 20a, 24, 30, 31, 36, 43, and 53. Thus, at the end of 

1938 measurements were being made in 37 wells, of which 12 were on the 

Soil Erosion Experiment Station farm. In addition, water-level records 

are available for several deep wells that tap confined (artesian) water, 

the records from 6 of which wells are presented for the first time in this 

report. During the year about 1,750 water-level measurements were made 

by or under the direction of I. E. Anderson, E. Z. Gray, and P. L. Heistuman 

of the Geological Survey.

Water-level data for wells on the Soil Erosion Experiment Station farm 

for the year 1937 were omitted from Water-Supply Paper 840 because of uncertainty as to the altitudes of measuring points. One of the following 

tables, based on spirit leveling that was done under the direction of the 

Soil Conservation Service, gives revised altitudes for these measuring 

points. Revised water-level altitudes for 1934-36 are given also; these 

supersede corresponding data published in Water-Supply Papers 777 and 817.

The locations of all wells on the experiment farm were not described 

correctly in Water-Supply Paper 817. The wells are arranged in three 

straight lines, of which two intersect at well IN; this well is in the 

SEiNWi sec. 30, T. 15 N., R. 45 E., and is about 280 feet south and 695 

feet west from the northeast corner of that 40-acre tract. Prom well IN, 

wells 2N and 3N bear N. 2£°E. at distances of 540 and 882 feet, respectively; also, wells IE, 3E, 4E, and 5E bear S. 53°E. at respective distances of 456, 909, 1,091, and 1,258 feet. Well IS is 126 feet S. 2J°W.

I/ See Water-Supply Paper 840, pp. 627-639. 

684
WASHINGTON 685

from well IN. Prom well IS, wells 23, 53, 4S, 53, and 63 bear 3.55 3/4°W. 

at respective distances of 145, 337, 572, 814, and 1,046 feet* well 63 is 

near the south edge of the farm and near the southwest corner of the 

SE^SW-f sec. 30.

All water-level measurements of wells in this area for the years prior 

to 1938 that have not already been published are included in this report. 

They are followed by the measurements for 1938. The water-level measurements for this area that have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 

817, and 840 have been checked, and all errors that have been found are 

corrected in this report. The corrected measurements are given in the 

table or heading for separate wells.

The average of the water levels was obtained by averaging the levels 

in 22 wells (1, 2, 6, 7A, 8, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 20, 20A, 21, 23, 24, 27, 

30-32, and 35-37). Water levels in these 22 wells rose an average of about 

5.0 feet from January 1 to March 21-24, 1938, and then declined seasonally 

to September 6-8, when they averaged 7.69 feet lower than in March. They 

had recovered 1.41 feet by the end of the year but were about 0.8 foot 

lower than at the beginning of 1938.

Explanation of symbols

a Altitudes given to the nearest whole foot are approximate, those 

given to tenths of a foot are by spirit leveling, sea-level datum of 1929.

b H, hillside; Hd, ephemeral drain on hillside; Hf, hill foot-slope, 

ordinarily along one of the larger valleys; S, summit of hill; P, plateau.

c Al, youngest alluvial deposit; Gd, sandy slope wash, terrace deposits, or residual material overlying granitic and other crystalline rocks; 

La. sand of the Latah (?) formation or other pervious zones beneath or 

within the plateau basalt; Ps, "Palouse soil,* which overlies the plateau 

basalt; Sw, slope-wash veneer over'the plateau basalt, usually derived 

from the "Palouse soil," may include some terrace deposits. The classification is based partly on an unpublished geologic map of Latah County, 

Idaho, by E. L. Tullis, Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology, 1932.

d Conditions of ground-water occurrencet C, confined water in pervious zones within or beneath the plateau basalt of the Pullman-Moscow 

artesian basin; Cc, confined water in the inferred catchment area for the 

artesian basin; We, unconfined water (water-table condition) in the inferred catchment area; Wp; unconfined water permanently perched, ordinarily 

above the plateau basalt; Wr, regional body of unconfined water; Wrp and 

Wcp, unconfined water, intermittently perched above the regional water 

table. Also seej Bonner, J. P., Water levels in observation wells, South 

Palouse Soil Conservation Project: U. S. Geol. Survey typewritten report, 

14 pp., 1938.

Experiment Station wells

All wella are bored, cased with 1^-inch galvanized pipe, and are used 

exclusively for water-level observations. All measurements have been made 

from top of casing. At four of the wells, however, the casings have been 

damaged and repaired, so that the altitude of the measuring point has not 

been constant. The altitudes are given with respect to sea-level datum 

of 1929.

CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WISCONSIN 

By G. T. Owen

Investigations of ground-water resources and of ground-water levels 

by the Wisconsin Conservation Department in central and northern Wisconsin 

during 1938 consisted of sinking and pumping about 1,200 four-inch test 

wells for fire-control work and of making periodic water-level measurements In nine observation wells. An automatic water-level recorder was 

operated on one observation well throughout 19S8. The Wisconsin Geological 

Survey and the Federal Geological Survey are cooperating informally in the 

observation-well program.

Measurements of depth to water level were made once in the test wells. 

These measurements and related test-well data are on file at Forest Protection Headquarters, Tomahawk, Wls., and are not likely to be published. 

The Federal Government cooperated in this part of the investigation through 

the program of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Records of water levels made during 1937 in the nine observation 

wells mentioned above were published in Water-Supply Paper 840. Records 

made in four of these wells during 1936 were published in Water-Supply 

Paper 817, and those made in one well during the latter part of 1935 were 

published in Water-Supply Paper 777.

For the State as a whole, 19S8 was the wettest year in 48 years. 

Snowfall was about normal. Temperatures during February and March were 

above normal, and recharge of ground water produced by melting snow 

started about the first of March in central Wisconsin and about the end 

of March in northern Wisconsin.

Warm winds that prevailed during a 2- to 3-week period in late March 

and early April induced unusually rapid melting of the snow. As a result 

a large proportion of the precipitation that accumulated during winter was 

lost by run-off because the soil was not completely thawed out and the 

rate of melting exceeded the rate of infiltration. Much water from melting snow was retained, however, in swamps, kettles, and undrained depressions.

I/ Weather data from meteorological stations operated by the Forest 

Protection Division, and from climatological data, Wisconsin Section, 

vol. XLIII, Annual, 1938, No. 13, by F. H. Coleman.

714
WISCONSIN 715

The abnormally hot, dry weather ended about the middle of April and 

was succeeded by much cooler weather and by frequent heavy rains. As a 

result spring recharge to the underground reservoirs was exceptionally 

large. As precipitation continued to be considerably.above normal at most 

of the observation-well sites throughout the summer, recharge occurred intermittently through the summer.

2/

For the State as a whole, September was the wettest month on record,

although some localities received at that time only normal precipitation s/ or precipitation slightly above normal. Observation-well measurements 

in those localities that received high precipitation show heavy recharge 

during this month. However, water levels in observation wells in localities that received only normal or approximately normal precipitation continued to decline seasonally. Water levels in all the nine wells rose in 

the late fall after vegetation became dormant but declined after the soil 

became frozen. Consider ing the ground-water behavior in the area, the 

writer thinks it significant that despite the heaviest summer rainfall 

of record the recharge recorded after June was small in comparison with 

that recorded in the spring.

At the end of 1938, monthly average water levels were much higher 

than at the end of any previous year during the period of record.

COON CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Fishel and C. C. Yonkers

The observation-well program in the Coon Creek area" in Vernon, Monroe, and La Crosse Counties, Wis., was continued in 1938 by the Geological 

Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, L. B. Cummings, 

project manager. Water-level measurements were made about weekly in 14 

wells in 1938. Two water-stage recorders were maintained in the area, one 

on well 8 and the other on well 9, About 700 individual measurements of 

water level were made by H. S. Peterson and D. C. Hurtgen, of the Soil 

Conservation Service.

The measurements of 10 wells (2-4, 8-14) are used for computing the 

average water levels for 1938. The measurements of 4 wells (1, 5-7) are 

included in the following table but are not used in computing the average 

water levels because it is believed that they do not represent normal watertable conditions. Water levels in the wells in this area were generally 

higher during 1938 than during the preceding 4 years. They fluctuated only 

slightly during January but rose an average of nearly 1 foot in February. 

From March through August the water levels fluctuated through a very small 

range.

Heavy precipitation in September resulted in an average rise of about 

1.9 feet in water levels. Water levels on September 15 stood at a higher 

stage than at any other time during the period of record. They declined 

about 1 foot in the latter part of September and had declined an additional 

0.9 foot by December 31. They averaged a net rise of about 0.9 foot for 

the year.
