WATER LEVELS MID ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1945

Part 2. SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

The rocks formations of the earth are great natural reservoirs in 

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

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

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

reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by 

drought or by heavy pumping, whether for public waterworks, irrigation, or 

industrial uses, and the extent to which they are replenished in seasons 

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

flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

year, of the ground-water supplies of such parts of the country as have 

been covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers 'the southeastern States and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,012 observation wells of 

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

Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and 

West Virginia. Of these wells, 112 are equipped with automatic waterstage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records 

of water level are given In this volume, including those for the years 

before 1945. For wells whose previous records have been published this 

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

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

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

The numbers in parentheses Immediately following a well number are those 

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

and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is given in the paper whose number Is so marked. This 

report Includes about 23,400 individual determinations of water level and 

artesian pressure.

Land-surface datum

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

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

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

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

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

Accordingly, precise datum planes were established approximating the land 

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

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

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian pressure in observation wells in 1945. The shaded section represents the part 

of the country covered by this volume.

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

the first time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of the older and newer records. 

Wherever the conversion factor is given in earlier reports it is not repeated 

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

the bench marks, in feet above or below land-surface datum plane, will be 

published in succeeding annual reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on,general groundwater conditions over the country. These wells were selected because the
4 WATER LEVELS ANP ARTESIAH PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

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

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

in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1945 the network included 

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

other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly in connection with 

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

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

Changes in ground-water level in 1945 in the southeastern part of the

United States

In 1945 the precipitation was above normal in all of the States in 

the southeastern section of the country, with the exception of Alabama 

where it was normal. The fluctuations of both watqr level and artesian 

pressure in wells depend, however, on many factors besides the amount of 

precipitation. In certain of the observation wells there are fluctuations 

caused by differences in the rate of pumping or artesian flow from other 

wells in the area, but most of the observation wells are noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. *A summary of the changes in ground-water 

level is given in the chapter for each State.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements "of water levels in observation wells in Alabama, which 

were begun In June 1940, were continued through 1945 as a part of the 

ground-water investigations in cooperation with the Alabama Geological 

Survey. These measurements were begun in connection with an investigation on the availability, quality, and quantity of ground water In the 

area of outcrop of the Cretaceous formations of Alabama. The Cretaceous 

area forms a band approximately 50 miles wide extending in a-northwest 

direction across the central part of the State. Upon the completion of the 

studlesi/=/ in the Cretaceous area In 1944, the program was expanded and 

ground-water studies were planned to Include the outcrop area of the 

Tertiary formations In the southern quarter of the State. This Investigation of the Tertiary area of Alabama continued through 1945. Progress' 

was made on the comprehensive study of the ground-water resources of the 

entire area, while a detailed Investigation was being conducted ten the 

salt-water encroachment of the shallow aquifer In the vicinity of Mobile.

A total of eight wells have been under observation siixce June 

1940 In Chllton, Dallas, Greene, Jackson, Montgomery, Plckens, and Tu? .aloosa Counties. (Water-Supply Papers 907, 937, 945, 987.) From ^Ime to 

time during 1940-45 observations on some of these wells were discontinued 

because It was decided that they were not giving adequate information. Of 

these eight observation wells, two wells, at Clanton and Eutaw, have been 

kept under observation since their Installation In 1941. A third well, at 

Scottsboro, has a fairly complete record of observations since 1936. The 

earlier observations on this well were made by the Tennessee Valley 

Authority.

Monthly measurements were continued through 1945 at well 6 near 

Eutaw, and a water-stage recorder was maintained on well 10 at Clanton. 

Weekly measurements were continued In well J28 at Scottsboro.

From April '27 to December 28, 1041, observations were made on a 

pumping well at the Selma Water Works, Dallas County. On October 1 

observations were begun on an abandoned well belonging to the Selma Water 

Works to observe water-level fluctuations in the aquifer from which the 

Selma public water supply is drawn. A water-stage recorder has been Installed on this well and a continuous record of the water level is being 

kept, along with the day-by-day pumpage for the nearby wells In the Selma 

well field.

A total of 15? Individual measurements were made on these 4 observation wells In 1945.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The Eutaw, Clanton, and Selma observation wells are In that part of 

Alabama designated by the U. S. Weather Bureau as the middle division. 

The greatest recharge In this area occurs during the period January, 

February, March, and April. The precipitation recorded In this division 

was 1.29 Inches below normal for January, but an accumulative rainfall of 

24,58 Inches for the entire period, January-April, was 4.08 inches above 

normal. Rainfall during May, June, and July averaged 0.3 Inch below 

normal. During July and August an accumulative rainfall of 7.78 Inches 

was recorded, 2.12 inches below normal. The rains during July and August 

are generally responsible for the recharge of water levels during the hot 

summer months. The rainfall during September, October, and December was 

slightly above normal. Following Is a discussion of the fluctuation of 

the water levels In these wells, which shows the effect of the variation 

In precipitation.

On April 30 the water level In Chllton County well 10, at Clanton, 

rose to 16.74 feet below land-surface datum, or 0.24 foot higher than Its 

previous highest stage on April 24, 1944. A steady d.ecllne of the water 

table took place during the entire summer until October 13 when the water 

level In this well began rising slowly until It reached 19.32 feet below 

land-surface datum on December 29. The usual recharge caused by summer 

rains during the latter part of July and August was slight. On October 6

the water level In well 10 was 22.40 feet below land-surface datum. This 

was the lowest water surface recorded for the year, but was 0,86 foot 

above the lowest stage on record of 23.26 feet on November 20, 1944.

The Dallas County well at the Selma Water Works had an incomplete 

record during 1945, although the well did show a recharge period during 

the latter part of October and throughout all of November and December. 

The lowest recorded water level for the period the well was under observation was 23.43 feet below land-surface datum on November 1, 1945. On 

December 30 the water level In this well had risen to 16.24 feet below 

land-surface datum.

The highest water level for Greene County well 6 was 16.10 feet 

below land-surface datum on April 2. This was 0.89 foot lower than the 

previous record high of 15.21 feet for March 1944. The low for this well 

was reached on November 30 when Its water level stood at 25.84 feet below 

land-surface datum. This was 1.81 feet higher than the record low of 

27.65 feet at the end of December 1943, and.0.37 foot higher than the recorded low of 26.21 feet In November 1944.

Well J28 at Scottsboro, Is In the northern division, as designated by 

the U. S. Weather Bureau. The accumulative rainfall during January, 

February, March, and April was 24.28 Inches, which was 3.40 Inches above 

normal for this period, as a result of 3.29 Inches above-normal rainfall 

in February and 1.49 inches of above-normal rainfall during April. Precipitation during January and March was slightly below normal. Well J28 

recorded its highest water level of 1.84 feet below land-surface datum on 

March 4. Throughout January, February, March, and April water levels In 

this well fluctuated only slightly. On May 13 the water level began a 

gradual decline that lasted throughout the summer until October 21 when 

the water level was 11.74 feet below land surface, the lowest for the year. 

It will be noted from the graph showing the previous year that this well 

went dry during July, part of August, September, and October. On October 

29 the water level In well J28 was 11.67 feet below land-surface datum. 

It rose gradually to 2.84 feet on December 31.

From the foregoing It will be seen that In 1945 the water level in 

Clanton well 10 reached a low for the year slightly less pronounced than 

the record low for the 5-year period established in November 1944, and a
ALABAMA, DALLAS COUNT!

high water level slightly higher than the highest recorded water level for 

the previous year. The Dallas County Well at Selma was under too short ai 

observation for comparison, but. showed a recharge period during October, 

November, and December. During the year the Greene County well did not 

reach the record peak it did on March 24, 1944, but the recorded low was 

slightly above the low of the preceding year, and above the established 

record low of December 1943. The water level in the Scottsboro well had 

an accumulative level higher during the spring of 1945 than during the 

spring of 1944. The decline in water level in this well during the summer 

months was much less rapid than the previous yearj the well did not dry 

up as it did in 1944.

Prom these data it will be noted that Alabama observation well watersurface trends were higher during 1945 and did not reach the low water 

levels recorded in 1943 and 1944.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observations of water levels aid artesian pressures in Florida were 

continued in 1945 in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey and 

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

cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of Florida, which 

»as begun in some parts of the State as early as 1950 and which has been 

Intensive in southeastern Florida since 1939 and over much of southern 

Florida since 1944. The intensive work in southern Florida is in cooperation with the Florida Geological Survey, Dade County, and the cities of 

Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Fort Myers, Fort Fierce, and Lake Worth. 

At the end of 1945, 408 wells were included in this program, of which 55 

were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. The table that follows 

gives the distribution of observation wells and water-stage recorders by 

counties and indicates the number of water-level measurements made in 

each county during 1945.

12 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAJT PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTHEASTER!* STATES

OCCURRENCE OP GROUND WATER

Ground water In Florida occurs both as confined (artesian) water and 

as unconfined (nonartesian) water.

The confined water Is under artesian pressure, a force which raises 

It to some altitude above that where the water is encountered In drilling 

the well. This height to which artesian water will rise In a tightly cased 

well Is commonly spoken of as the artesian head, or simply as "head," 

and an Imaginary surface connecting all such points of a given artesian 

aquifer Is the plezometrlc surface of that aquifer. This fluctuates from 

time to time with additions to or withdrawals from the aquifer, and it is 

this surface that the Geological Survey measures and maps.

The principal artesian aquifers of the State are limestones or 

dolomites of Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene age. These are generally capped 

by a thick section of Miocene and younger materials of low permeability 

consisting of clay, silt, very fine sand, and marl. These deep artesian 

aquifers are highly productive and yield water in copious quantities, although south of St. Johns County, on the east coast, it is too highly 

mineralized for most uses.

In some places relatively small, but locally very important, quantities 

of ground water are taken from shallow artesian aquifers ranging in depth 

below land surface from about 25 to 150 feet. Examples of such areas are 

Indlantown, In Martin Coninty, where the municipal supply is obtained from 

a battery of artesian wells about 85 to 55 feet deep; Fort; Pierce, In St. 

Lucie County, where the municipal wells are 100 to 150 feet deep; and the 

Fort Myers area where numerous shallow artesian wells range in depth from 

about 35 to 150 feet. The shallow aquifers range in age from Miocene to 

Pleistocene, and usually consist of sand, sandy shell marl, or consolidated 

sandy materials. Generally they are capped by relatively thin layers of 

marl, clay, silt, or very fine sand. The quality of this shallow artesian 

water is generally superior to that of the deep artesian water.

The nonartesian water of the State generally occurs in Pliocene, 

Pleistocene, and Recent materials hanging from some of the most highly 

permeable limestones in the world (Tamiami formation of southeastern 

Florida) to the Pleistocene terrace sands that mantle most of the State, 

and which have a wide range of permeability that depends principally upon 

sorting, grade,-size, roundnesa, and presence or absiroce ot cementing 

materials in the sand.
FLORIDA. 13

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Heavy withdrawal from .the artesian limestone formations In northeastern Florida has caused a substantial lowering of the artesian pressures, 

especially In the Fernandlna area, Nassau County (see Water-Supply Paper 

907, p. 12). Since about 1943, however, artesian pressures In the Fernandlna area have risen progressively In conjunction with a gradual decrease 

In the yield of most of the heavily pumped wells. The rise In pressures 

Indicates that the decrease In yield Is not due to a depletion of storage 

In the artesian formations, but rather to a clogging of the pores In the 

limestone arounfl the wells. The nature and areal extent of this clogging 

has not been determined.

The withdrawal at Fernandlna has been from wells no deeper than 1,050 

.feet. In 1945 a well was drilled to a depth of 2,100 feet for Rayonler, 

Incorporated. This well penetrated permeable limestone formations below 

1,200 feet which will yield additional large quantities of water. The 

development of these lower formations so as to lessen the draft on the 

upper ones will allow artesian pressures to rise further In the Fernandlna 

area.

In Escambla County, In western Florida, water levels declined generally In 1945 from the high levels reached In 1944 when the precipitation at 

Pensacola was 20.05 Inches above normal. The precipitation at Pensacola 

In 1945 was 59.05 Inches, which was 1.70 Inches above normal. Around 

Bayou Chlco heavy pumping has caused water levels to fall below gea level 

and salt-water encroachment has occurred. The water level In Escambla 

County well 62, west of the heavily pumped wells, declined about 2 feet 

during the year but' was not at any time so low as It was In 1943 when, In 

.September, It reached a record low of 3.63 feet below sea level. In 

Iscambla County well 60, on Pensacola Bay, east of the heavily pumped 

wells, the water level fell to a record low of 7.00 feet below sea level 

on December 21, 1945.

Escambla County well 45 Is near the well field of the Florida Pulp 

and Paper Company at Cantonment. The water level In this well has been 

declining progressively since July 1941 when the paper mill first began

pumping Its wells.

14 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Artesian pressures in Marion County well 5 were measured weekly in 

1945 as in previous years. The pressure declined steadily from the beginning of the year to June 16 when it reached a low of 6.3 feet above the landsurface datum, the lowest since 1934. It then rose rapidly until, on October 6, it reached 13.0 feet, the highest since 1935. The precipitation at 

Ocala during the 3j-month period in which the pressure rose was 40.49 

inches, 67 percent of the total in 1945. The precipitation in 1945 was 

60.43 inches, 7.26 inches above normal, whereas in 1944 it was 47.01 inches.

The maintainence of water-stage recorders on Sarasota County wells 5 

and 9 was continued in 1945 through the courtesy of Mr. J. G. Kimmel of 

Palmer Corporation, Sarasota. The water levels in these wells are not 

directly influenced by local rainfall, but they often rise during periods 

of rainfall owing to decreases in the withdrawal of water for irrigating 

truck farms (see Water-Supply Paper 945, pp. 11-12). Records of water 

levels in well 9, beginning in 1930, indicate that the water level i£ declining progressively, but very slowly, probably owing to a gradual increase in 

withdrawal as new wells are drilled. The decline since 1930 apparently 

has been only about 3 feet.

- The water level in Orange County well 47 fluctuates, rapidly in response 

to local rainfall, which recharges the artesian water-bearing formations 

through sinkholes and drainage wells (see Water-Supply Paper 987). The 

water level in this well declined from the beginning of the year to the 

last part of June, after which rainfall caused it'to rise. The short 

record of water levels does not indicate a progressive decline.

Water levels in southern Florida in 1945 were generally lower than 

normal, and in some areas, notably the southeastern coastal areas and the 

Everglades, all-time low records were established. This was largely due 

to rainfall deficiency during both 1944 and 1945 in many parts of southern 

Florida, but is complicated by other factors. The following table shows 

the rainfall distribution at selected stations in southern Florida, together with departures from normal.

From a study of this table It Is apparent that 1944 was generally an 

exceedingly dry year in southern Florida with only one station, LaBelle, 

having more than normal rainfall, and with Miami showing the greatest 

deficiency, 29.19 Inches. In 1945 there was normal rainfall or more over 

most of southern Florida, but along the southeastern part of the Atlantic 

Coastal Ridge and the Everglades rainfall was again deficient. In the 2 

years of 1944-45 the Miami station registered a total rainfall deficiency 

of 52.42 Inches, or 90.7 percent of 1 year's normal rainfall.

Thus, the aquifers did not everywhere receive their normal recharge, 

and In some areas, notably the Miami area, 2 years of rainfall scarcely 

exceeded that of one normal year.

In Dade County, where the Coastal RLdge is severed In numerous places, 

by drainage canals thr.t were for the most part uncontrolled In 1944 and 

only partially controlled in 1945, water levels in the canals fell to sea 

level during the height of the drought for considerable --distances back 

into the Everglades. These drainage canals helped to reduce water levels 

to unprecedented lows by continuing to drain off ground water during the 

drought.
16 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Over a large part of southern Bade County, centering west and southwest of Florida City, the water table fell below sea level during the 

 spring months, and reached a maximum of almost '6 feet below average ocean 

level in well F387 at Royal Palm Hammock, 10 miles southwest of Florida 

City and about the same distance north of the Bay of Florida.

This lowering of the water table below ocean level was largely 

brought about by the exceedingly high rate of evapo-transpiration acting 

upon a water table already reduced to sea level by lack of rainfall and 

by drainage. But, in addition to -the natural withdrawal of ground water 

by evapo-transpiration, irrigation helps reduce water levels still lower. 

The greater the drought the greater the withdrawal of ground water for 

irrigation and, thus, the greater the lowering of the water table. It 

should be emphasized, however, that irrigation withdrawal had very little 

to do with the development of the large area of below-ocean-level water 

table in the area centering west and south of Florida City-~evapo»transpiration, which may possibly account for more than 71 inches of water a year

in this area,was principally responsible. The U, S. Weather Bureau re2/

ports the evaporation of 70.704 inches from the Hialeah pan in 1945.

almost 3 feet below average ocean level, for 0.5 foot must be added to the 

2.34 feet as a correction.

By S. M. Herrick 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in selected observation wells in the Georgia Coastal Plain were begun in November 1938 as a 

part of the ground-water investigation in cooperation with the Division of 

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

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

geologic provinces: The Paleozoic area, the Crystalline area, and the 

Coastal Plain. The Coaptal Plain is larger than the other two provinces 

combined and covers an area of about 35,000 square miles, about 60 percent 

of the entire area of the State. It consists of that part of the State 

lying south of the Fall Line, a line that extends approximately through 

Columbus, Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta and marks the northern extent 

of the seditrentary formations which overlie the older crystalline rocks. 

The Coastal Plain is underlain by water-bearing formations that range in 

age from Upper Cretaceous to Recent.

Most of the observation wells reported on -in the Coastal Plain area 

end in the limestones of Oligocene and upper Eocene ages, which are the 

principal artesian formations in southeast Georgia. A shallow well, 

Chatham County well ?43, 12 miles southwest of Savannah, represents the 

fluctuation of the water table in formations of Recent age in this locality. The majority of the observation wells reported on in north Georgia 

terminate in crystalline rocks of pre-Cambrian age. One well, Spalding 

County well 12, at Experiment, represents the fluctuations of the water 

tatle in the unconsolidated, weathered material that overlies rocks of 

igneous origin.

During the period 19?9 to 1943, inclusive, the observation-well program 

in the Georgia Coastal Plain was continued and steadily expanded and at the

end of 194? included 171 observation wells in 19 counties. In 1944, 

82
GEORGIA 83

however, this program was somewhat curtailed, but during 1945 was again 

maintained on virtually the same level as in 1943. In 1945, the program 

included 181 observation wells in 21 counties. In this area, automatic 

water-stage recorders were maintained on three wells for the entire year 

and on one well for a part of the year. A total of 618 individual tape 

measurements and pressure readings were made during the year on 177 observation wells on which water-stage recorders were not installed. In addition, 

in Baker and Early Counties, 259 individual tape measurements on 13 observation wells were made during the year. These measurements, which are given 

in this report, were supplied through the courtesy of the Emory University 

Field Station, 11 miles southwest of Newton. These measurements made in 

wells in Baker and Early Counties are part of the hydrologic data collected 

by the Emory University Field Station in connection with malaria-control 

research work. In north Georgia, this program included 50 observation wells 

in 6 counties. An automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on one well 

for the entire year. In this area a total of 85 individual tape measurements was made during the year on 49 observation wells on which water-stage 

recorders were not installed.

The following table lists all counties in Georgia for which waterlevel measurements are given in this report, and gives, for each county, 

the number of observation wells, number of measurements made, and the number of water-stage recorders maintained in operation for all or part of the

year.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

Except in the city of Savannah and a lew additional localities, 

water levels in wells ending in the Ocala liirestone in the Coastal area of 

Georgia rose somewhat in nearly all wells during 1945. In Savannah and in 

the industrial area northeast of Savannah, artesian water levels averaged 

?.17 feet lower during 1945 than during 1944. In 1945 the total metered 

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

municipalw aterworks and the Union Bag & Paper Corporation, was greater 

by 129 million gallons than it was in 1944. Figures of the total pumpage 

in 1945 by other users in the Savannah area were not obtained, but it is 

thought that this amount certainly equalled that of 1943 when 11 to 11^ 

million gallons a day was pumped. The artesian water levels in Chatham 

County, outside Savannah, showed a slight decline, which was greatest in 

that area bordering the Savannah area but least in the area situated to the 

30uth and southeast of the Savannah area. In Wilmington and Tybee Islands 

the average decline during 1945 amounted to 0.56 foot. North of Savannah 

(as far north as the county line) water levels declined about 0.20 foot. 

In the northwestern part of Chatham County two wells together indicate an 

average decline of 0.9P foot. In the south and southeastern parts of the 

county water levels declined only 0.11 foot as compared with 1944.

In Bryan County all water levels averaged higher than those prevailing in 1944, ranging from 0.27 to 0.86 foot higher than the average for 

these same wells in 1944. Average water levels in observation wells
GEORGIA 85

In Liberty County were above those recorded during 1944. Practically all 

wells In Mclntosh County also showed rises in average water levels. In 

Glynn County all water levels, except those on St. Simons Island, showed 

slight rises as compared"with the previous year. All water levels in 

Camden County, except those within the town of St. Marys, showed Increases 

over those of 1944. The decline in the water levels at St. Marys was probably due to pumpage of wells owned by the St. Marys Kraft Corporation. 

Most of the rise of water levels in the Coastal counties, with the exception 

of Chatham County, appears to have been due to natural conditions, as the 

artesian water levels In wells in Camden, Wayne, Pierce, Brantley, and 

Charlton Counties, which are west and south of Glynn County, were 0.78 

foot to 1.24 feet higher during 1945 than during 1943. No measurements 

were made on observation wells in. Wayne, Pierce, Brantley, and Charlton 

Counties during 1944.

Chatham County well 34? is situated at the Plant Introduction 

Station, 12 miles southeast of Savannah. This Is a dug well, 14.5 feet 

in depth, that shows the effect of precipitation. Accordingly, the average 

monthly water levels for this well were 1.09 feet lower in 1945 than in

1944. According to U. S. Weather Bureau records this area received 15.51 

fewer Inches of rainfall in 1945 than in 1944.

In north Georgia, where water-table conditions prevail, all water 

levels show the effect of precipitation. Puiton County well 26 may be 

taken as an index of water-table conditions in the Atlanta area during

1945. This well showed an average yearly water level of 21.76 feet in 

1945 as compa'red with 24.17 feet In 1944. Precipitation during 1945, 

according to U. S. Weather Bureau records, exceeded that of 1944 by 

19.75 inches, a fact wb.ich largely accounts for the Increased water levels 

in this area. Further, during April 1944, the city of East Point dlscontlriued the use of its drilled wells for Its water supply, Instead, going 

over to a surface-water supply. Stoppage of well-pumpage in East Point 

affected the 1945 water levels In wells 7, 8, 20, 29, 32, 39, and 43, all 

in Pulton County. It is possible that Pulton County well 26 was also 

somewhat affected by the shutting down of all drilled wells owned by the 

city of East Point.

Spalding County well 12, is situated at the Georgia State Experiment 

Station, Experiment. This dug well is 30.5 feet in depth and shows the 

effect of precipitation. The average monthly water level during 1945 for 

this well was 16.61 feet as compared with 16.63 feet in 1944. According 

to U. S. Weather Bureau records in 1945 this area received an increase 

of 8.59 inches of rainfall as compared with the total for 1944. Although 

the figures indicate little difference between the average monthly water 

levels for this well during the years 1944 and 1945, water levels remained 

higher throughout the summer and fall months of 1945 than was the case 

in 1944. The distribution of rainfall received by this area in 1944 and 

1945 appears to be the reason for this.

PROGRAM OP WORK

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

begun in 1943, was continued in 1945 in cooperation with Jefferson County, 

the city of Louisville, and the Geological Division, Kentucky Department 

of Mines and Minerals. This investigation, being conducted because of a 

critical shortage of ground water created by heavy industrial pumpage for 

war purposes, includes an intensive observational program. The Rubber 

Reserve Company furnished funds to explore the ground-water resources in 

the area southwest of the city of Louisville and to investigate possible 

development of additional supplies by infiltration from the Ohio River.

In October 1945 the Geological Survey began an investigation of the 

ground-water resources in Bourbon, Payette, Jessamine, and Scott Counties, 

in central Kentucky, in cooperation with the Geological Division, Kentucky 

Department of Mines and Minerals.

As part of the investigation periodic water-level measurements were 

made in 122 wells in the Louisville area. A total of 1,830 water-level 

measurements was made during 1945. Observations were made monthly on all 

wells and extra measurements were made during floods in wells affected 

by the Ohio River and in wells in heavily pumped areas. Additional 

observations were made in connection with pumping tests. Automatic waterstage recorders (float type) were maintained on 5 wells during the entire 

year and on 13 wells during part of the year. Records for nine wells in 

the Louisville area, located in Indiana are published in Water-Supply 

Paper 1023.

The following mimeographed reports were released through the Kentucky 

Department of Mines and Minerals:

1. "Drillers logs of wells and test borings in the 

Louisville area, Kentucky", January 1945.

2. "Chemical quality of ground water in the Louisville 

area, Kentucky", by H. E. Sublett, April 1945.

FLUCTUATIONS OP ?/ATER LEVEL

A rapid decline in water levels in the Louisville area began in 1943 

when the increased activity of existing industries and the establishment 

of new industries resulted in large demands for ground water, especially 

for cooling. Reduced pumpage in late 1944 and early 1945 was brought about 

by conservation measures, including artificial recharge, cooling towers, 

refrigeration, recirculation, and redesign of plant equipment.

The following table of yearly pumpage shows the increase brought on 

by the war and the decrease resulting from conservation measures.

Generally the water table was higher at the close of 1945 than at the 

close of 1944. In addition to the effect of reduced pumpage, the Ohio 

River flood of February 1945 caused a large recharge to the area, particularl 

in the southwestern section where the rubber industries are located. In 

the downtown area, heavy pumping for air conditioning usually exceeds the 

normal recharge. The recharge caused by the flood raised the water table 

about 4 feet in this area (see fig. 3 ) thereby delaying the steady 

annual decline in water levels by about 1^ years.

Rainfall in the Louisville area has only a minor effect on water levels. 

The fine clay which covers the water-bearing sand of the Ohio River flood 

plain permits very little percolation. Principal sources of recharge to 

the area of glacial deposit are infiltration from the Ohio River and flow 

from the limestone areas east of the city.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The Louisville area lies between latitude 85° and 86° north and 

longitude 38° and 39° west. The area has been subdivided into quadrangles 

formed by the 1-minute meridians and parallels. Wells in each small quadrangle are numbered beginning with 1. Of nearly 700 wells inventoried 

only the ones selected for observation are shown on figure 4 . Wells 

are designated by a composite of three numbers; the minutes of longitude 

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

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

Measurements In each well were made from fixed measuring points which are 

referenced to land surface and to mean sea level (adjustment of 1912). 

All water levels are expressed in feet below land surface.

MARILAND 

By R. R- Bennett 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Investigations of the ground-water resources of Maryland were continued during 1945 In cooperation with the Maryland Department of Geology, 

Mines and Water Resources. The measurement of observation wells for the 

determination of the fluctuations of the water table or plezometrlc surface 

Is a part of these Investigations. The observation-well program Is considered to have been started In 1943 with the establishment of many observation wells chiefly In the Baltimore area; however, the water level In one 

well, Mont-Ff 1, In Montgomery County, has been measured continuously since 

1932.

During 1945 a total of 83 wells were observed and 666 Individual tape 

measurements were made In these wells. Automatic water-stage recorders 

were maintained on 7 wells throughout the year and 4,472 water-level determinations were obtained from the recorder graphs.

Practically all of the observation wells are In or near Baltimore 

where a detailed Investigation of the ground-water resources Is being madePLTJCT DAT IONS OP WATER LEVEL

Most of the observation wells In the Baltimore area are near localities 

of large pumpage, and practically all of the major fluctuations of the 

water levels are caused by changes In the rates of pumpage. Only a small 

percentage of the pumpage Is metered and therefore the changes In the rate 

of pumpage cannot be determined accurately. Figure 5 shows the distribution of the pumpage In the Baltimore area during 1945- Many of the pumpage 

values shown on this figure are estimated and therefore should be considered 

as approximate.

The total pumpage of ground water In the Baltimore Industrial area 

during 1945 Is estimated to be about 35 million gallons a day, of which

about 700,000 gallons was pumped from the crystalline rocks, 29 million

gallons from the Patuxent formation, about 3.5 million gallons from the 

Patapsco formation, and about 1.5 million gallons from sediments of Pleistocene age. In general, the pumpage In the Baltimore area probably was about 

the same In 1945 as In 1944 but, Inasmuch as the estimates of pumpage may 

be in error by as much as 10 percent, it is possible that the pumpage may

have decreased or Increased a few million gallons a day in 1945 without 

this change being detected.

The cone of depression formed In the Baltimore area appears to be in 

essential equilibrium as, in general, there has been little or no net 

change in artesian head during the year. However, the water levels in 

practically all of the observation wells fluctuate widely from day to day
MARYLAND " 147

making it difficult to determine the actual net change of the water level 

or artesian head by periodic tape measurements. For this reason the 

following values of change in artesian head during the year should be considered as approximate:

Patuxent formation

Sparrows Point district: No change

Dundalk-Canton district: Rise of 5 feet

Highlandtown district: No change

Harbor district: No change

Fairfield-Curtis Bay district: Rise of 5 feet

Patapsco formation

Sparrows Point district: Rise of 2 feet 

Dundalk-Canton district: Rise of 4 feet

Precipitation probably is the chief cause of the fluctuations of the 

water level in well 4N2W-9 (Baltimore Country Club), which is in the 

crystalline rocks on the Piedmont plateau in Baltimore City. The water 

level in this well was 12.07 feet below the land surface on January 4, and 

9.70 feet below the land surface on December 28. During the year the water 

level ranged from 8.59 to 12.63 feet below the land surface.

MISSISSIPPI

By J. C. Kammerer

PROGRAM OP WORK

tr

The observation-well program in Mississippi, begun in 1938, was continued in 1945 in cooperation with the Mississippi Geological Survey. 

In addition to the water levels measured in 18 counties before 1945, 

principally near the Gulf Coast and in the Mississippi Alluvial iPlain 

("Yazoo Delta"), measurements were made in 5 wells in Jackson.

Jackson, with a population in 1945 of about 72,000,obtains ^.ts 

municipal water supply of 7 million gallons a day from Pearl River. The 

pumpage is supplemented by an estimated average of 3 million gallons daily 

from privately owned wells. The principal aquifer or water-bearing bed 

is a part of the Kos<misko or Sparta formation and is tapped 600, to 800 

feet below land surface. There are about 70 wells within an 8-mile radius 

of the Capitol Building. A study of the ground-water resources ^>f the 

Jackson area is currently in progress.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The trend of water levels throughout the State during 1945 jsuggests 

a decrease in the rate of lowering as compared with the records Since 

1938. This may be, in part, a response to the high rainfall during the year, 

which averaged 59 inches for the State as a whole and was 6 inches above 

the normal annual rainfall, as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau.

Of the observation wells measured in 1945, 4 are water-tabl^ wells 

and 44 are artesian wells; in the latter, the water levels were above land 

surface in 32 wells and below land surface in 12 wells. Water-stage 

recorders, which furnished continuous records of the fluctuations of 

water level, were maintained at 15 wells during part or all of the year, 

and seasonal and monthly measurements were made in the 33 other toells. Of

the measurements made during 1945 which are included in this report, 953

were read from recorder charts and 136 were made individually byitape 

line, hose, or pressure gage.

During the year, as a result of the cooperative ground-watei- work 

in the State, the Mississippi Geological Survey published Bulletin 60; 

Geology and ground-water resources of the coastal area of Mississippi. 

The area described comprises George, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl 

River, and Stone Counties. Other State bulletins referred to in the 

description of wells in this report are Bulletin 55 (1943): Geology and 

ground-water supply at Gamp McOain (parts of Grenada and Montgomery 

Counties); and Bulletin 58 (1944)} Geology and ground-water resources 

of the Camp Shelby area (parts of Forrest, Greene, Jones, Perry,land 

Wayne Counties).

NORTH CAROLINA

By M. J. Mundorff 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells In North 

Carolina, begun In 1931, was continued in 1945 In cooperation with the 

North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. The systematic 

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

Special Investigations were made in 1945 at a few places in connection with 

the development of ground-water supplies at military bases.

Water-level measurements for 27 observation wells are published in 

this report. Water-stage recorders were In operation on 11 wells, 2 wells 

were measured dally, 2 were measured twice a week, 3 were measured weekly, 

and 9 were measured monthly. In all, 4,338 measurements of water level 

were made In 1945.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In North Carolina fluctuations of the ground-water level correlate 

with precipitation. However, a number of other factors complicate the 

correlation.

With normal precipitation the ground-water level generally begins to 

rise in December or January. The rise usually continues until April after 

which the water level begins to decline. This decline continues, interrupted by rises of short duration caused by summer rain storms, until the 

following December or January.

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

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

summer and autumn. It rises because very little water Is used by vegetation or lost by evaporation and a much larger proportion of the precipitation reaches the water table. The amount of rainfall is larger

in the late spring, summer, and autumn months; but so much of the water

is used by plants, or evaporates, that very little reaches the water table,

except during heavy and prolonged rainfall.

The average rainfall in 1945 for all U. S. Weather Bureau stations 

in the State was 55,12 inches, 5,56 inches above normal. Rainfall during 

the first 6 months was 3.21 inches below normal, but above-normal rainfall 

during the last 6 months caused a great deal more summer and autumn recharge 

to the water table than usual. In 1945 the fluctuations of the water 

level showed a reasonably close correlation with precipitation, taking 

transpiration and evaporation into consideration. Of the 22 wells in which 

the water^ level was measured at the end of both 1944 and 1945, 17 show a 

net gain during 1945, and 5 show a net loss. The number of wells showing 

a net gain in 1945 was one less than in 1944} and the number showing a 

net loss in 1945 was one more than in 1944. However, all wells showing 

a loss in 1944 showed a gain in 1945. There were 12 wells showing a gain 

in both 1944 and 1945.

The following table gives the highest and lowest level reached in 

each well, the range in fluctuation, and the net gain or loss during the

year.

NORTH CAROLINA 183

It will be noted that a number of wells reached their highest level 

of the year during the summer, which Is very unusual. This Is due directly to the abnormally heavy and prolonged rainfall during that period. In 

July the rainfall was 2.07 Incites greater than normal and In September, 

during which month 6 wells reached the highest level for the year, the 

rainfall was 5.55 Inches above normal. Hydrographs of 7 wells from different parts of the State are shown in figure 8.

Of the 27 observation wells In the State, 17 are In the Piedmont and 

Mountain sections. All of these are dug wells and end In soil and saprolite derived from disintegration of the underlying bedrock which Includes 

granite, gneiss, schist, and similar rocks.

The water level in Cherokee well 1, in the extreme western part of 

the State, rose from February until June, when It began to decline. The 

decline was quite uniform from June until December. During December the 

water level rose slightly and was 0.10 foot higher on December 31, 1945, 

then on December 31, 1944. The only other well In the western part of the 

State, Transylvania County well 1, had a net rise for the year of 1.22 

feet. The water level rose steadily during the first 5 months, then declined until October. The level rose slightly In October, declined In 

November, and rose again In December.

The water level In Surry County well 1, which Is in the northwestern 

Piedmont section, rose very slowly during the first 6^ months, declined In 

the last half of July, In August, and the first half of September, rose 

near the end of September, then declined the rest of the year. The net 

loss for the year was 0.07 foot.

Davle County well 1 Is in the west-central Piedmont section. The 

water level rose In January and February, declined In March and April, 

rose somewhat In May, declined In June, July, and August, rose again during September and October, then declined In November. The record for 

December Is incomplete.

There are 10 observation wells in the vicinity of High Point, 1 being 

in Porsyth County, 6 In Gullford County, and 3 In Randolph County. One 

well is equipped with a water-stage recorder, and nine are measured near 

the end of each month. Of the 10 wells, 6 showed a gain in water level 

and 4 showed; a decline. The range in water level during the year averaged
Water level, in feet below land-surf

only 2.93 feet for the 10 wells as compared to an average of 4.92 feet for 

all 27 wells, The range for the wells in the High Point area was much 

less than usual due to heavy summer rainfall maintaining the water table 

at above~normal levels, precipitation during the summer months being 

greater in the central Piedmont than in the rest of the State.

The water level in all but 1 of the 10 wells in the High Point area 

gained slightly during January, and gained in all 10 wells during February. 

The water level rose in 4 wells during March and in 5 wells during April, 

declining in the other wells. The water level rose in 3 wells during 

May and in only 2 wells during both June and July. In August 5 wells 

showed a gain and in September and October 4 wells gained. Only one well 

showed a gain in November, but five gained during December. The average 

gain for the year was 0.43 foot.

Three observation wells are in the eastern part of the Piedmont 

section. These are Alamance County 1, Orange County 1, and Wake County 1. 

In January the water level changed only slightly in these three wells, but 

in February it rose considerably. In March the level rose in two wells 

but lowered in Alamance well 1, and during April, May, and June declined 

considerably in all three wells. The water level rose slightly to much in 

the three wells during July and dropped slightly to much during August. 

The level rose considerably in all three wells during September. The 

water level declined in all three wells in October and in two of the 

three in November, rising only a very little in Wake County well 1. In 

December the water level rose considerably In all three wells.

There are 10 observation wells in the Coastal Plain section of the 

State, 4 being near the Pall Zone, and the other 6 relatively near the 

coast. The four wells near the Pall Zone are all dug wells, three of them, 

Halifax County well 1, Hash County well 1, and Wayne County well 1, are in 

terrace deposits; and the other, Moore County well 1, is in the 

Tuscaloosa formation. Of these four wells, two showed slight gains in 

January, and two had slight declines. The water level rose in all wells 

in February. One well rose slightly in March, but the others declined, 

and all four wells declined during April, May, and June. From January to 

the end of June, the decline in water levels ranged from 0.48 foot in 

Wayne County well 1 to 8.72 <eet in Moore County well 1. The decline 

averaged 3.46 feet. The water levels rose in all wells during August,
186 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1945, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

except In Moore County well 1, the level in that well declining 1.05 feet 

more. The level declined in two wells and rose in two during August, and 

rose In all four wells during September, In Moore County well I rising 

9.78 feet. The water level declined In three of the four wells in October, 

declined in two of the four In November and rose in all four during December. 

All four wells showed a net gain for the year, ranging from 0.75 foot In 

Moore County well 1 to 6,32 feet In Nash County well 1.

The record for Columbus County well 1,, in the southeastern Coastal 

Plain, is incomplete, but the water level apparently rose during January 

and February, then declined to 9.69 feet below the land surface on June 24. 

The water level rose to 5,15 feet below the land surface on June 28, 

and was maintained at about that position during July and August, but rose 

to 1.46 feet below the land surface on September 7. The water level at 

the end of the year was 1,84 feet below the land surface, a net gain 

during the year of 5.58 feet.

The water level in Jones County well 1 declined 1,3 feet during January, rose 2.7 feet during February, then declined during March and April. 

The water level rose slightly In May and a great deal during June, Because of excess rainfall during the summer months, the water level was 

maintained at a high level during July, August, and September. It declined 

somewhat during October and the first half of November then rose during 

the rest of the year, being only 0.8 foot below the land surface on 

December 28. The gain for the year was 2.3 feet.

Pasquotank County wells 3lT and 33T, Perquimans County well 2, and 

Washington County well 1 are all In the northeastern Coastal Plain. The 

records for the Pasquotank County wells are incomplete, but the water level 

was high in both wells in March, declining gradually during the latter 

part of March, April, and May, and the first part of June. The level 

rose a great deal In the latter part of June and remained at a fairly high 

level during July, August, and September,

The water level In Perquimans County well, at Harvey Point, is affected 

greatly by pumpage of the wells which supplied the naval air station at 

that place. The water level rose nearly £.5 feet during January and 

February, then declined steadily until the middle of July. At that time 

the Navy withdrew from the base. The water level rose steadily during
NORTH CAROLINA, ALAMAHCB COUNTY 187

August and was 5.64 feet below the surface on August 29, the last day

for which a measurement is available. The recorder was removed at that time

because no one was available to tend it.

The water level in Washington County well 1 rose nearly 1.5 feet 

during February, but declined 3.41 feet during the following 5 months. 

The level rose 3.89 feet in June and July but declined 2.29 feet during 

August, September, and October. The level was nearly constant during 

November and rose 1.66 .feet during December,

By E. M. Gushing and G. K. Mauney 

PROGRAM OP WORK

The program of water-level measurements in wells in Memphis and in 

Shelby County, which is being carried on as a part of the investigation of 

the ground-water resources of the Memphis area, begun in 1940, was continued 

in 1945 in cooperation with the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division.

PUMPAGE

During 1945 pumpage in the Memphis area decreased. The end of the war 

brought about curtailment of production in certain industries which in turn 

resulted in less water being pumped from the water-bearing sands. It is 

estimated that the average daily quantity of water pumped from the "500- 

foot" sand was about 95 million gallons. This amount is about 10 million 

gallons a day less than the estimated pumpage in 1944. * A cessation of 

production toward the end of 1945 at the Chickasaw Ordnance Works, west of 

Millington, resulted in a decrease in the average daily pumpage of about 6 

million gallons.

For 1945 the average daily pumpage from the "1,400-foot" sand was about 

9 million gallons. In 1944 it was about 10 million gallons a day,

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In general, water levels in the Memphis area rose during 1945. In 

most of the observation wells the water levels did not decline to the lowest levels of 1944. Exceptions to this general trend occurred in southwest 

Memphis and in the vicinity of the Sheahan Pumping Station in east Memphis. 

The lowest water levels recorded in four observation wells in southwest 

Memphis ranged from 0.7 foot to 2.9 feet lower than the lowest levels of 

1944. Near the Sheahan Pumping Station the lowest water level was about 

1.5 feet lower than the lowest level of 1944.

202 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 19*6, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The greatest rise in water levels occurred in wells in north Memphis. 

Here the lowest water levels recorded in six observation wells ranged from 

1.7 to 3.4 feet higher than the lowest levels of 1944, as a result of decreased pumpage in the vicinity.

The fact that the water levels in most wells generally did not reach 

the low points of 1944 should not be interpreted to mean that water levels 

will rise in the next few years. In Memphis the average rate of decline 

of the water levels from 1939 to 1944 was about 4 feet a year. Decreased 

pumpage during 1945 is causing adjustments in the configuration of the 

water-level surface. It is believed that after these adjustments have 

taken place the water levels will continue to decline, but at a rate less 

than 4 feet a year.

Figure 10 shows the hydrographs of water-level fluctuations in typical 

wells in the Memphis area. Well 79:7-17 is located in the Parkway well 

field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division. As might be expected, 

the yearly range in water level in an active well field is extremely large.

The water level in well 79:1-1, north of Memphis (see fig. 10), has a 

much smaller range of fluctuations and probably reflects the combined 

effect of the entire pumpage in Memphis and the pumpage of the Chickasaw 

Ordnance Works west of Millington.

The fluctuations of the water level in well 79:1-3, east of the city 

(see fig. 10), probably are caused by pumpage in the Memphis area as a 

whole.

A total of 4,622 water-level measurements in 37 observation wells is 

included in this report. Twelve of the wells were equipped with automatic 

water-stage recorders; in 21 wells the water level was measured about once 

a week, and in the other"4 wells measurements were made about once a month. 

The lowest daily water level in wells equipped with recorders was determined from recorder charts. For these wells 3,319 water-level determinations were made, and 1,303 water-level measurements were made in the 

remaining 25 wells.

VIRGINIA

IHTRODUCTIOy

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

cooperation with the Virginia Geological Survey, were continued in 1945* 

The wells included in one of these programs are in the northern part of 

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

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

The long-range program, a systematic study of the ground-water resources 

of the State, was carried forward.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

By Rodney Hart 

Program of work

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

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

automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on the Bacon well and 

measurements by the wetted-tape method were made weekly in the other wells. 

Since measurements in all of the Swart wells, with the exception of Swart 

162, were discontinued after February 1944, Swart well 162 will be referred 

to in the future as simply the Swart well. A total of about 282 individual 

measurements of water level was made during 1945 by the wetted-tape method. 

Fluctuations of water level

Inasmuch as the observation wells in the northern part of Virginia 

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

levels are greatly affected by precipitation. The precipitation and departure from normal at Washington, D- C., in 1945, which are representative 

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

month and for the year in the foil-owing table:

It will be seen from the preceding table that the precipitation was a 

little more than 3.5 inches above normal in 1945 in contrast to the almost 

normal reading of +0.04 inch in 1944. This increase in precipitation is 

reflected in the net rise in water levels in all of the wells in the 

northern Virginia area.

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

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

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

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

As indicated by this summary, the greatest rise in water level 

occurred in the Bacon well, near Fairfax, where the water level was 2.15

and Ross wells, which indicates a small increase in ground-water storage 

since December 1944. With the exception of the Halls Hill and Swart wells, 

the lowest water levels recorded during 1945 in the other four wells 

occurred in November. The lowest stage in the Halls Hill well occurred in 

January and in the Swart well, at the end of June. There was, however; a 

noticeable decline in water level in these two wells in November also. 

Some recharge occurred in March, but the highest water levels for the year 

occurred in late July and early August in all of the wells. This was due, 

for the most part, to the excessive amount of rain--more than 5 inches 

above normal that fell during July. Figure 11 shows the weekly fluctuations of water level which occurred in the six observation wells in northern Virginia during 1945, the weekly averages of water level for the four 

deepest wells, and the weekly precipitation at Washington, D- C.

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA

By D. J. Cederstrom

Program of work

Eight observation wells were Included In the water-level program In 

southeastern Virginia at the end of the year. Three of the wells are 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders actuated by floats. Tape 

measurements were made also, generally about once a week. A total of 405 

measurements was made In 1945.

A detailed study of the Roanoke area was made by Bruce Latta during 

the writer's absence on a war assignment. Other field work was done and 

much time was given to the writing of reports. Virginia Geological Survey 

Circular 3, "Selected well logs In the Virginia Coastal Plain north of 

James River", and Structural geology of southeastern Virginia", which 

appeared In vol. 29, No. 1, of the Bulletin of the American Association of 

Petroleum Geologists, both by D. J. Cederstrom, were published In 1945.
SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA 227

Fluctuations of water level

Petersburg area

Measurements were continued on the Pilcher well, near Petersburg, 

(Chesterfield County well 36). See figure 12. At the beginning of the 

year the water level was about 1 foot above normal .or about 16.5 feet 

below the land surface. In spite of somewhat subnormal rainfall, a rise 

of 2 feet was recorded by March 24. In the following 2 months a decline 

of about 1 foot was recorded, bringing the water level down to 2 feet above

normal, even though rainfall was somewhat above normal. In this period 

much of the rain which fell was taken up by vegetation. 'A temporary rise 

was recorded in June but on July 16 the water level was again about 2 feet 

above normal.

Prom July 14-19, inclusive, 10.47 inches of rain fell as a result of 

which water levels rose almost 3 feet and stood 5 reet above normal, 12.5 

feet below the land surface, on July 29. A decline set in and on September 

16 the water level had receded to about 2.5 feet above normal. Heavy rains 

fell again in the middle of September over 4 inches being recorded from
228 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAU PRESSURE, 3-945, SOTTTHEASTBKR STATES

September 14-18, inclusive--which caused water levels to rise almost 1 

foot. Prom September 23 to December 2, a period of deficient rainfall, 

water levels declined 2.25 feet, 16 feet below the measuring point, or 1.5 

feet above normal. Heavier rains in December and less demand by growing 

plants resulted in a rise of water levels to about 15 feet below the land 

surface, or 2.5 feet above normal at the end of the year.

The rainfall for the year was 9.69 inches greater than normal and the 

net rise in water level was about 1.5 feet. During the first half of the 

year the rainfall was deficient 4 months out of 6, and by July 1 the accumulated departure from normal was -4.68 inches. During this period water 

levels in the Pilcher well varied widely but, early in July, showed no 

gain or loss over the levels of early spring. The very heavy rains of 

July, which totaled 16.08 inches, or 11.35 inches above normal, more than 

account for the total excess rainfall for the year. Due to the July rains, 

water levels rose sharply but began to decline rapidly again during the 

month of August when rainfall was deficient. Smaller rises were recorded 

with the greater-than-normal rainfall of September but moderate rains of 

October and November failed to provide enough recharge to maintain water 

levels and early in December the water level was about 0.5 foot above the 

level of January 1. Heavy rains in December resulted in a rise of about 

1 foot above the December low by the end of that month.

Hopewell area

Measurements of water levels in Prince George County well 13, at 

Hopewell, indicate that artificial recharge at the nearby Solvay Proces. 

Company began about the middle of December 1944, at which time the water 

level rose to about 36.5 feet below land-surface datum, or about 2 feet 

above normal. During January and February the water levels remained near 

or above this stage but declined less than 1 foot in March, April, and May. 

It is thought, therefore, that artificial recharge ceased early in March 

and, although water levels declined somewhat thereafter, they stood about 

1 foot higher than normal in the succeeding inactive period because of the 

large volume of water which had been added to the underground reservoir.

After May 19 pumping began at the Solvay Process Company. Water 

levels during the heavy pumping season of 1945 were about 13 feet lower 

than the static level of May 19, or 3 feet higher than the lowest points 

reached in the 1944 pumping season.
229

Upon cessation of heavy pumping at the Solvay Process Company, after 

October 14, water levels in the observation well began to rise. By November 16 the water level was 38.5 feet below the land surface. (37.75 to 

38.75 feet below the land surface is considered normal under nonpumping 

conditions.) it is thought that artificial recharge may have begun late 

in November because by the end of the year the water level was leas than 

36 feet below the land surface.

Sussex County

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

S. Vilhite well, at Wakefield, were continued in 1945. The accelerated decline of water levels, which began in 1942 and continued in 1943, began to 

slacken in 1944 and ceased in 1945. The decline may have been due to the 

droughts of 1941-42, but it seems more likely that water levels at Wakefield 

have declined in response to heavy discharge at Franklin, 20 miles to the 

south-southeast. The accelerated decline and late decrease in decline of 

water levels in this well corresponds with the record of wells 29 and 89, 

in Southampton County.

Franklin area

Measurements made in 1945 on Isle of Wight County well 161, at 

Franklin, show that the steady decline of water levels, due to almost continuous heavy pumping at the Chesapeake-Camp Corporation pulp mill, has 

almost ceased. During the latter part of 1944 the water level in the observation well was about 17.5 feet below land surface. In 1945 the lowest 

water level in this well was 18.75 feet below the land surface and during 

the greater part of the year it was generally about 18 feet below the land 

surface.

Water-level measurements were discontinued on well 97b, at South Quay, 

Nansemond County.

Measurements made in 1943 on the courthouse well at Courtland, Southampton County well 89, show a net decline of 1.56 feet from October 31, 

1944, to July 5, 1945. On December 20, however, the water level was 0.43 

foot higher than on July 5.

Measurements in Southampton County well 29, the Virginian Railway well, 

at Sebrell, showed a net decline of 0.43 foot from October 30, 1944, to 

July 5, 1945, and a further decline of 0.18 foot by December 20, indicating 

further stabilization of the cone of depression centering about Franklin.

York-James peninsula 

Port Eustis

Measurements were continued on well Milstead 1, at Port Eustis, 

Warwick County. Water levels fluctuated within narrow limits in response 

to variations in discharge of ground water at Port Eustis. In general, 

water levels were about the same as in 1944.

Camp Peary

No significant change occurred in water level in the Camp Peary observation well in 1945. As in 1944, water levels declined temporarily 

about 1 foot when a few wells were put into limited service for cooling 

and other uses.

Northumberland County

The record of the Dawson well at Byrdton, Northumberland County, is 

similar to that of the Pilcher well near Petersburg. Water levels rose 

over 4 feet in January and February but declined about 4.5 feet during 

March, April, and the first half of May. Slight recovery occurred in the 

period May 13-July 15.

Heavy rains in July brought the water level to within 1.5 feet of the 

surface, a gain of 4.5 feet in 2 weeks. The water level fell to about 6 

feet below the surface in the following 5 weeks and remained there until 

late in October, when a further decrease of more than 1 foot occurred and 

water stood 7 feet below the surface. Heavy rains and slight water use by 

vegetation in December brought about a recovery of water level. On December 23 the water level was less than 4.5 feet below the surface and, reflecting a heavy rain on December 29, it rose to 1.40 feet below the 

surface on December 30.

If comparison is made with the measurement on January 6, 1946, when 

the water level was 2.42 feet below the surface, rather than with the 

measurement made on December 30, 1945, the net gain for the year was 4.07 

feet.

The net gain in the Pilcher well was only 1.5 feet. The Pilcher well 

is drilled in rock in rolling country and reflects the long time trends 

better than the Dawson well which, being on a flat terrace with poor runoff, 

produces greater and almost instantaneous variations of water level in 

response to local rainfall.

WEST VIRGINIA 

By H» P. Johnston

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in West Virginia was continued in 1945, 

in cooperation with the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey as 

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

Periodic measurements of water levels were made in 21 wells during the year, 

and single measurements were made in about 150 other wells. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were maintained on six wells during most of the 

year, five other wells were measured weekly, three biweekly and seven 

monthly. A total of 870 individual measurements of water levels in wells 

or of flows from springs or wells are listed in this report. Hot listed 

are several hundred additional measurements of water level that were made 

during the testing of local water-supply1 installations.

The general investigation of the ground-water resources throughout 

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

the water-bearing alluvial deposits along the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. 

Detailed investigations were continued at Parkersburg. Investigations 

were completed at Point Pleasant and other military installations. Data 

on local ground-water conditions furnished by the State and Federal 

Geological Surveys were used extensively throughout the State and numerous 

reports were prepared for war agencies, municipal and other interests 

during the year.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER IEVEL

The average precipitation in West Virginia during 1945, as recorded 

by the Weather Bureau, United States Department of Commerce, was 50.37 

inches, which is 7.20 inches above normal and 5.59 inches more than in 

1944. Precipitation was 5.46 inches above normal in the northeastern 

panhandle, 9.73 inches above normal in the northern division of the State

and. 3.66 inches above normal in the southern division. The precipitation 

234

W. Va., and precipitation at the

was above normal for all quarters of the year. September, with 4.20 

inches above normal, was the wettest September of record and November with 

2,52 inches above normal, was the second wettest November of record.

The water table generally rises following periods of heavy precipitation and declines during dry seasons. However, the effects of precipita* 

tion may be modified considerably by other factors such as the retarding 

of downward percolation by frozen soil, and the capture of water for 

plant use or for the replenishment or soil moisture. The water level in 

well 9-6-46, at Morgantown, fluctuated importantly with variations in 

local precipitation, as shown in figure 13.

Large quantities of water from melting snow and heavy precipitation 

during February, and March, September, and November 1945 were accompanied 

by rises in the water level. On February 26 the highest stage of record 

was recorded 2.68 feet below land-surface datum. As a result of lower 

precipitation and increased transpiration during the early summer, the 

water level declined and reached the low for the year on July 23 13.70 fe«t 

below land-surface datum. The heavy rains in September and November again 

caused a rise in water levels. The year closed with the water levels at 

9.47 feet below land-surface datum or 4.37 feet below the level at the 

opening of the year.

The fluctuation of water levela of wells In the deeper alluvial gravels 

along the Ohio and Kanawha River valleys are related primarily to the 

variations in the stage of the adjacent rivers. Where one or-more wella 

are pumped heavily, as at the Parkersburg waterworks, river water may be 

entering the aquifer throughout the year. At most places, however, 

recharge from the river occurs only during floods or periods of high river 

stage. The major rise in water level at well 27-3-21, Xbout 150 feet from 

the Ohio River, at Parkersburg, occurs during periods of high river stage 

In the spring. The water level then declines more of less regularly until 

there is another rise in the river. The fluctuations in water level at 

well 50-1-5, at Kenova, in Wayne County, also reflects the variations 

in river stage, but the change lags behind the high water crest in the riv$r 

from one to two weeks. There were four flood crests in the Ohio River 

during the month of March and corresponding high levels in the nearby 

wells.
WEST VIRGINIA, FAYETTE COUNT* 237

Water levels in bedrock wells in unpumped areas fluctuated moderately 

during 1945 and were below normal at the end of the year. In the heavily 

pumped areas in Morgantown and Charlestown critical conditions developed 

with the lowest water levels of record but they recovered by the end of 

the year so there was only a slight departure from the December levels of 

1944.

In well 9-6-27, at Morgantown, the water level was below normal at 

the opening of the year and was the lowest of record during the first of 

September, being 2.23 feet lower than the previous recorded low of August 

17, 1944.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

Observation wells in West Virginia have been assigned segmented 

numbers that indicate their location by county, magisterial district, and 

position with the district. For this purpose the counties are numbered 

consecutively in a general southward direction, beginning with Hancock 

County, which is at the northern tip of the State; the magisterial districts within each county are also numbered consecutively according to the 

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

the individual wells are numbered consecutively, roughly according to their 

geographic location relative to other wells in the same district. Thus, in 

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

represents Monongalia County, 6 represents Morgan district, and 27 represents the individual well in that district. Springs and mine drains are 

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

number, as 9-6-S1.
