INTRODUCTION 

By 0. E. Meinzer and L. K. Wenzel

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

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

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

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

recorded on flowing wells may Indicate depletion or replenishment of the 

artesian reservoirs.

The regular publication of records of water levels and artesian 

pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935, 

and from that year through 1939 one volume containing these data was published each year. The volumes were Issued as Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, 845, and 886. The number of observation wells and the quantity of 

records on water levels and artesian pressure obtained from them have increased gradually from year to year. As a result the records for 1940 were 

published In six volumes, Water-Supply Papers 906-911 inclusive. WaterSupply Paper 906 contains the records for the northeastern States, 907 for 

the southeastern States, 908 for the north-central States, 909 for the 

south-central States, 910 for the northwestern States, and 911 for the 

southwestern States and Hawaii. Records for 1941 are being published in 

six volumes also, each volume covering a section of the United States 

corresponding to that covered by one of the volumes containing .records for 

1940. (See fig. 1.) This series of reports Is in a sense an inventory, 

year by year, of the ground-water supplies of those parts of the country 

that are covered.
2 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

This volume covers the north-central section and gives records of 

water levels or artesian pressure in about 1,350 observation wells of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Of these wells 

27 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells for 

which records had not heretofore been published, complete records of water 

levels are given in this report, including those for years before 1941. 

For wells whose previous records have been published, however, this volume 

gives only current records. If complete descriptions of the wells were 

given in one of the previous reports, only the well numbers or the well 

numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given in this report. The 

report includes about 17,400 individual measurements of water levels or 

artesian pressure.

The water levels in this report are given with reference to datum 

planes of different kinds. Some are given in depths below measuring point 

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

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

are given in height above an assumed datum plane. As the measuring points 

on some of the wells were changed in 1941, the records may not be directly 

comparable with those in previous annual volumes, but changes in measuring 

points are recorded in this report. Water levels given in height above see 

level or above assumed datum planes are generally comparable with those 

given in the previous volumes. Unless otherwise stated, the depth of wells 

is usually the measured depth below the measuring point.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this report are due Miss Dorothy M. Ireland, Mrs. Roxie Lou Davis, and Mrs. 

Margaret F. Monk, who typed the offset copy; and to Rodney Hart, who prepared the illustrations and gave other assistance in preparing the copy. 

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVELS IN 1941 

IN THE NORTH-CENTRAL PART OF THE UNITED STATES

In 1941 the precipitation in all the north-central States was above 

normal, and in most parts of the region the water levels in wells rose 

appreciably. The fluctuations of the water levels and artesian pressure 

in wells depend, however, on many factors besides the amount of precipitation. Consequently, it is usually not possible to find a simple relation
INTRODUCTION

between the changes in water level or artesian pressure and the departures 

from normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the interpretative 

text of the several State sections in this volume. They summarize the 

changes in ground-water levels and artesian pressure that occurred in 1941

Figure 1. Outline map of the United States, showing sections of the

country covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels

and artesian pressure in observation wells in 1941. The

shaded section represents the part of the country

covered by this volume.

in the parts of the underground reservoirs in the north-central States that 

are tapped by the observation wells.

Iowa, Owing to copious rains during the late summer and early fall, 

the water levels in shallow observation wells over the State were on the 

average higher in December 1941 than in December 1940. The average rise in 

46 wells in 15 counties was 2.7 feet. In many of the wells the rise in water 

level was 10 feet or more, but in a few wells there was a small decline.

The water levels in wells in the Tarkio Creek area, in Iowa and adjacent 

parts of Missouri, rose to the highest stages since measurements were begun 

In 1934 as the result of the heavy precipitation, which at Shenandoah amounted
4 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

to 48.07 inches 14.07 inches above normal. The average of the water 

levels in the wells stood about 7.7 feet higher in December 1941 than in 

December 1940. A large part of the total rise took place in the months of 

September and October, when the rainfall at Shenandoah amounted to 23.11 

inches.

Kansas. In response to unusually abundant precipitation the water 

levels in most of the observation wells reached in 1941 the highest stages 

during their periods of record,and in most of the wells there was an appreciable net rise in water level during the year. In 18 of 21 counties 

for which records of a year or more are available, there was a net rise in 

water level during the year in 60 to 100 percent of the wells. In the 3 

counties in which the percentage of wells showing net rises was only 50 

percent or less, most of the observation wells were pumped or were affected 

noticeably by nearby pumping during the year. Water-level trends in these 

wells, therefore, reflect the extent of nearby pumping rather than the 

amount of recharge.

Nebraska. In 1941 the change in average water level in 118 key wells 

distributed over the State was a rise of 0.55 foot; for the period 1934 

through 1941 there was a net decline in the same wells of 0.08 foot. During the 7-year period there has been, therefore, essentially no appreciable 

net average change of water level in the wells despite the fact that precipitation in the State in the same period was about 22.5 inches below normal. 

Water levels in'wells in all parts of Nebraska rose in 1941, but the rises 

were most pronounced in the northeast and southeast sections. It is estimated that the water stored in the underground reservoirs of the State 

increased about 4,000,000 acre-feet in the year.

North Dakota. The average of the water levels in 22 key wells situated 

in different parts of the State rose slightly more than 1.3 feet in 1941. 

This is the only annual net rise that has occurred since observations were 

begun in September 1937. In the first 3^ years of record the average water 

levels in corresponding months show, in general, decreases in each succeeding year, but in May 1941 the water levels began a recovery that brought 

them to a new high average stage by October. The year closed with the 

avferage water level above that at the close of any previous year since the 

observations wei"e begun.
INTRODUCTION

South Dakota. A comparison of the average water levels in a group of 

22 wells in southeastern South Dakota shows that in 1941 there was a net 

rise in 7 wells, a net decline in 14 wells and almost no net change in one 

well. The average net change in these wells was, however, a net rise of 

0.23 foot.

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By T. W. Robinson and A. P. Gerardi

The cooperative program of water-level measurements in observation 

wells in Iowa; begun in 1938, was continued in 1941 by the Federal 

Geological Survey in cooperation with the Iowa Geological Survey.

The observation-well program at the end of 1941 included 208 wells, of 

which 8 were equipped with automatic water-level recorders. Six wells were 

dropped during the year and 108 added. Approximately 1,400 individual 

measurements of water level were made during the year. The water levels in 

six wells equipped with 8-day automatic water-level recorders were measured 

weekly. Some wells were measured once a month and others less frequently. 

A few were measured only once during the year. In addition to the regular 

observation-well measurements, numerous measurements of water level and 

pressure-gage readings were made on individual wells whenever the opportunity 

was afforded.

As a result of copious rains during the late summer and early fall, 

the water levels in the shallow wells were on the average higher in December 

1941 than in December 1940. The average rise in 46 shallow wells located 

in 15 counties was 2.7 feet during the year. In many of the wells the rise 

in water level was 10 feet or more, but in a few wells there was a small 

decline.

The following table gives the average rise of water levels in the 

shallow wells, by counties, from December 1940 to December 1941, the 

precipitation at the nearest United States Weather Bureau station during 

1941, and departure from normal. The normal of the precipitation for 1940 

was used to obtain the departure.

An average of the precipitation in the area in which the wells are 

located was about 36 inches, or approximately 5 inches above the 68-year 

average for the State. The water levels rose even in some areas in which 

the precipitation for the year was below the annual normal, as in Calhoun 

and Lyon Counties. In Sac County, where the precipitation was 7.22 inches 

below normal, the water levels declined in all of the 3 observation wells, 

the average being 0.71 foot. In general the water levels in the shallow 

wells showed a definite rise during the winter and spring, a sag in the 

summer, a sharp rise in the fall, and a small decline during December.

Most of the deep observation wells, in which the water is under 

artesian pressure, are located close to or in areas of heavy pumping. The 

water level in these wells shows the effect of seasonal pumpage. In 

general the water levels were highest during the winter and spring and 

lowest during the mid-summer months of July and August, when pumping is 

the heaviest.

The fluctuation of the water level in a well 2,250 feet deep, at Ames, 

is shown in figure 2, as obtained from recorder charts. This well taps 

the Jordan sandstone. There is no pumping from this aquifer for a distance 

of about 10 miles from the well, and there has been no pumping from the 

well since about a year prior to the beginning of the record. The water 

level is affected by changes in atmospheric pressure and also apparently 

by pumping at distant points and possibly by variations in the rate of 

recharge. The water level is highest during late winter and early spring

and lowest in mid-summer, which corresponds to variations in seasonal 

pumpage. The general trend of the water levels during the period of record 

is upward. The lowest water level observed was 47.97 feet below the 

measuring point on July 27, 1940, and the highest was 42.98 feet below the 

measuring point on December 4, 1941.

Progress was made in the collection of records of pumpage from underground sources, especially in Cerro Gordo County, where pumpage records or 

estimates were obtained from all of the municipalities and for most private 

users of ground water. During the year many pumping tests were made by 

the State and Federal Surveys to determine the water-yielding capacities 

of wells and the transmissibilities of water-bearing formations.

Records of the observation wells are listed alphabetically by 

counties on the following pages. All water levels are expressed in feet 

below the measuring point. If descriptions of wells and measuring points 

are not given in this report they will be found in Water-Supply Paper 886 

or 908.

TARKIO CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By T. W. Robinson

I/ 

The observation-well program in the Tarkio Creek area, in Iowa and

an adjacent part of Missouri, was continued in 1941. Of the 75 wells under 

observation at the beginning of 1941, 4 wells (37, 43A, 69, and 77) were 

dropped during the year. The water-level measurements were made monthly, 

usually between the 25th and the end of the month. A total of 709 

individual measurements of water levels was made during the year. The 

measurements were made by W. M. Mulnix until July 1 and by D. W. Knox for 

the remainder of the year.

Water-level neasurements in 9 to 12 wells (1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 

14, 15, 16, 17) were used in computing the average water levels, in 1941, 

given in the following table.

The precipitation for the year at Shenandoah was 48.07 inches, which 

was 14.07 inches above normal. In response to this heavy precipitation, 

the greatest rise in water levels occurred since measurements were begun 

in May 1934. The average water level stood 7.71 feet higher in December 

1941 than in December 1940. The water levels rose 4.20 feet from the end 

of December 1940 to the end of June 1941, and then declined 3.15 feet 

during July and August. During the extremely wet season from the end of 

August to the end of November, there was a rise of 6.96 feet, which was 

followed in December by a decline of 0.30 foot. A large part of the total 

rise took place in the months of September and October, when,according to 

the records of the United States Weather Bureau, a total of 23.11 inches

of rain fell at Shenandoah._____________________ _______________

KANSAS

INTRODUCTION 

By S. W. Lohraan

The Kansas section of the 1940 water-level report (Water-Supply Paper 

908) contained records for 21 counties. The present section contains records 

for 25 counties and includes for the first time records for Ellis, Grant, 

Haskell, and Russell Counties. Observation well programs in each of the 25 

counties are being conducted by the State Geological Survey of Kansas and 

the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in 

cooperation with the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board 

of Agriculture and the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of 

Health. The program in Jewell County is being carried on In cooperation 

also with the Soil Conservation Service, United States Department of 

Agriculture; and the programs in Harvey, McPherson, and Sedgwick Counties 

are being carried on in cooperation also with the city of Wichita.

At the beginning of 1941 periodic water-level measurements were being 

made in 437 observation wells. (Erroneously given as 486 wells at end of 

1940 in Water-Supply Paper 908.) During the year 30 wells were discontinued 

and periodic water-level measurements were begun or resumed in 60 other 

wells. The descriptions of all wells in which measurements of water level 

were made for the first time during 1941 are given in this report under tha 

county in which they are situated. The descriptions of the other wells . 

were given in the reports for previous years (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, 845, 886, and 908). At the end of 1941 periodic water-level measurements were being made in 467 wells, including 7 wells observed quarterly, 

339 wells observed monthly, 110 wells observed weekly, and 11 wells 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. A total of 7,246 wettedtape water-level measurements was made during the year. These data are 

classified by counties In the following table.

During 1941 cooperative ground-water reports on the following areas of

Kansas were published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas: Stanton

i/ 2/ 3/ 

County, Atchison County, Lawrence and vicinity, and southeastern

4/ 

Kansas. In addition an article explaining water-level trends in Scott

5/ 

County was published. During 1941 ground-water investigations were made

in the following areas of Kansas by the authors named: Grant and Haskell 

Counties by Thad G. McLaughlin; Kiowa County, by Bruce P. Latta; Barber 

County, by Prank Byrne; Jewell County, by V. C. Pishel and H. A. Waite; 

and Russell and Ellis Counties, by J. C. Frye and J. J. Brazil.

The following table summarizes the trends in ground-water levels and 

in precipitation during 1941 in the 21 counties of Kansas in which waterlevel records are available for a full year or longer. Detailed information 

on the highest and lowest water levels of record, the net changes in water 

level in 1941, and the net changes in water level during the entire period 

of record is given in tables that begin each of the 21 county chapters. No 

such information is included for wells in the 4 counties in which waterlevel measurements were begun in 1941._____________________________

52 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE

As indicated in the above table, the precipitation during 1941 was 

substantially above normal in each of the 25 counties, and ranged from 110 

percent of normal in Sedgwick County to 176 percent of normal in Kearny 

County. In response to the unusually abundant precipitation the water 

levels in most of the wells reached in 1941 the highest stages during their 

periods of record, and in most of the wells there was an appreciable net 

rise in water level during the year. In 18 of the 21 counties for which 

records of a year or more are available, there was a net rise in water 

level during the year in 60 to 100 percent of the wells. In the three 

counties in which the percentage of wells showing net rises was only 50 

percent or less, most of the observation wells were pumped or were affected 

noticeably by nearby pumping durJ.ng the year. Water-level trends in these 

wells, therefore, reflect the extent of nearby pumping rather than tfee 

amount of recharge.

ELLIS COUNTY 

By J. C. Frye

An investigation of the ground-water resources of northeastern Ellis 

County and western and southern Russell County, Kansas, was started in 

1941 by the Federal Geological Survey and the Division of Sanitation of thej 

Kansas State Board of Health, with the cooperation of the State Geological 

Survey of Kansas and the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State 

Board of Agriculture. The work comprises a field and laboratory study of 

the Cretaceous sandstones that underlie oil fields in these counties, with 

reference to the quantity and quality of the ground water in the sandstones 

and the suitability of the sandstones as reservoirs for disposition of oilfield brines. The Tertiary and Quaternary deposits of the area were also 

studied. This work is being done by J. J. Brazil, of the State Board of 

Health, and the writer, under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal 

geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas, and Ogden S. 

Jones, Geologist of the Oil-Field Waste Disposal Section of the Division of 

Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health. Assistance was rendered 

during the period August to December 1941 by Gordon Shaffer.

Ellis County is in the central part of the Plains Border section of 

the Great Plains province. It is drained by the Saline and Smoky Hill 

Rivers and by Big Creek, a tributary of the Smoky Hill. All of Ellis 

County is underlain by Cretaceous rocks, although in certain areas they are 

overlain by Tertiary deposits. Pleistocene terrace deposits occur along 

the major valleys. Most of the domestic, stock,and municipal supplies in 

the county are obtained from wells.

At the end of 1941 monthly water-level measurements were being made in 

six wells in Ellis County by the wetted-tape method. All measurements were 

made by Gordon Shaffer. A total of 12 individual water-level measurements 

was made from October to the end of the year.

GRANT COUNTY

By T. G. McLaughlin

A survey of the geology and ground-water resources of Grant and 

Haskell Counties, Kansas, was begun in the summer of 1941 by the State 

Geological Survey of Kansas, and the Federal Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health, 

and the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
KAHSAS 69

Grant County Continued

The investigation was made under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, 

Federal geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas. 

Ground-water investigations were made in a part of this area by Haworth 

in 1897 and by Dartori" in 1913.

Grant and Haskell are adjacent counties in southwestern Kansas. The 

area is a relatively flat plain except in local areas of sand dunes, and 

in the valleys of Cimarron River and its tributaries. Both counties are 

underlain by thick deposits of sand, silt, and gravel of Tertiary and 

Quaternary age. All wells in these counties obtain water from these 

deposits.

Twenty-eight wells were selected for monthly observation of water 

levels 14 in Grant County and 14 in Haskell County. A total of 190 wettedtape measurements was made in 1941. All water-level measurements were made 

by Woodrow W. Wilson.

points that occurred during 1941 are given below. The old measuring point 

of well 46 was the top edge of a 2-inch slot in a square wooden cover resting on the tile casing. The new measuring point is the top edge of the 

tile casing on the north side. The original measuring points of wells 47 

and 51 are still being used, but they have been lowered by settling in the 

amounts given in the following table. Wells 52, 54, 55, 57, and 61-63 are 

bored observation wells cased with 1^-inch galvanized iron pipe. The 

casings originally extended above the land surface and were attached to 

wooden posts for protection. The measuring point at each of these wells 

remains the top of the casing, but the casings have been damaged or broken 

by cattle, hence the measuring points are now lower by the amounts given 

in the table. The elevations of the measuring points were redetermined 

on October 1, 1941, by H. A. Waite and V. C. Pishel, and are given below.

MINNESOTA

Clay County

By A. C. Byers

Periodic measurements of the water levels in 4 wells in Minnesota 

were begun in July 1940 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the North Dakota State Geological Survey and the city of Pargo, 

North Dakota, in connection with an investigation of the ground-water 

resources of the Pargo area. The descriptions of the wells and the 

records for 1940 have been published in Water-Supply Paper 908. During 

1941 three new wells in Minnesota were added to the program. These are 

in the locality known as Pleasant Ridge, which is described in following 

paragraphs. By the end of the year, water levels were, therefore, being 

measured weekly in seven wells in Minnesota. About 380 measurements were 

made by the wetted-tape method by L. K. Wenzel, Ralph Mader, and Alan C. 

Byers.

The water levels in three of the four wells in which measurements 

were made throughout the year showed a net decline and the fourth showed 

a small rise. The average net decline of water level in the 4 wells was 

0.61 foot.

The low swell known as Pleasant Ridge extends northward through 

sections 29 and 52 of T. 139 N., R. 47 W. The material underlying this 

swell is glacial outwash, the thickness of which is unknown but is at 

least 100 feet. Cross-bedded sands containing some boulders grade downward into coarse gravel. The superficial Lake Agassiz clay is here very 

thin, being only 2 to 4 feet thick in some places. The clay has been 

stripped off in four places where sand pits have been opened. The Fitzgerald, Connelley, and Benedict pits are being worked for sand and gravel; 

the Wiedemann pit was intended to supply water for irrigation of sugar 

beets, but proved impractical for the purpose because of sloughing of the 

sides. The central part of each pit is occupied by a pond, the surface of 

which is about 20 feet below the surrounding land surface. The groundwater conditions are of the water-table type. 

150
MINNESOTA 151

A gravel-packed well, 16 inches in diameter and B.4 feet deep is located 

near the Fitzgerald and Connelley pits, and is used to irrigate sugar beets. 

Its capacity is about 4,000 gallons a minute. Some water is also pumped 

from the Benedict pit for irrigation.

In order to get data in regard to the drawdown of water levels during 

the heavy seasonal pumping, 3 driven wells were installed--one each in the 

Fitzgerald, Connelley, and Wiedemann pits on the edges of the ponds. As 

no measurements of water levels have been made previously in that vicinity, 

an arbitrary datum was established for each well by assuming the water 

level on July 9 to be at an altitude of 100 feet.

No measurements were made of the pumpage from the sand and gravel deposits, but it is estimated that between 60,000,000 and 80,000,000 gallons 

was pumped for irrigation in the period from early July until mid-August. 

The average maximum drawdown due to this pumpage for the 3 observation 

wells was 3.80 feet. At the end of 1941 the water levels in the 3 wells 

averaged 1.14 feet below th^ir levels before pumping began.

NEBRASKA 

By H. A. Waite and L. P. Buck

The State-wide program of water-level measurements In wells, begun In 

1934, was continued in 1941 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation 

with the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. 

Records of water level and some interpretation of the fluctuations of the 

water level in the wells from 1934 through 1940 are given in previous 

annual volumes of the Geological Survey (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 

845, 886, and 90S).

Measurements of water levels made in 375 observation wells are given 

on the following pages. Included in this group are 46 wells in Hall 

County and 2 wells in Merrick County that are being observed through informal cooperation with the Grand Island Water Department; 8 wells in 

Garden County that are being observed through informal cooperation with 

the Pish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior; and 7 wells in 

Dav/son County, 1 well in Garden County, 1 well in Gosper County, and 30 

wells in Keith County that are being observed through informal cooperation 

with the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District. Daily 

tape measurements, furnished by the Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation, are given for well 85 in Morrill County. A total of 1,701 individual measurements of water level, most of them made in 1941, are given on 

the following pages.

The precipitation in Nebraska in 1941 was 24.45 inches, 1.94 inches 

above normal and 7.20 inches above 1940. As a result, the water levels in 

most of the observation wells-had net rises for the year. The following 

tables summarize the water-level fluctuations in key wells throughout the 

State. The average water levels have been recomputed for 1940 using a 

total of 138 wells instead of 133. The average water levels for 1940 as 

shown in Water-Supply Paper 908 differ slightly, therefore, from those 

given in the following table.

The records from 1935 through 1937 and during 1939 are based on 167 

wells; those in 1938 on 160 wells; those In 1940 on 138 wells; and those 

In 1941 on 135 wells. The number of wells included in the averages has 

diminished during the last 3 years because some of the wells went dry, 

were destroyed, or were otherwise rendered unfit for observation. The 

table shows that in 1941 the averages of the water levels in the observation wells rose in all 6 sections of the State. There was an average net 

rise of 0.64 foot in the 135 wells during the year. At the end of 1941, 

the averages in all sections of the State except the north-central and 

northwest sections were higher than at the end of 1934. In north-central 

Nebraska there was an average decline in water level in the 7-year period 

of 0.21 foot,and in northwest Nebraska there was an average decline of 

0.22 foot. For the entire State there was an average net rise of 0.14 foot 

during the 7-year period.
156 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The records for only 118 of the 135 key wells are complete from 1934 

through 1941. Using only the records on these wells, the change In the 

average water levels for the State in 1941'Is computed to be a ris* of 

0.55 foot and the .cumulative net change for the State for the period 1934 

through 1941 Is computed to be a decline of 0.08 foot. If it Is assumed 

that the average net rise of 0.55 foot recorded In the 118 key wells in 

1941 represents the average net fluctuations of the water table over the 

State, and that the specific yield of the formations In which the water 

occurs in 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 1941 of about 4,000,000 

acre-feet. On the same basis, the decrease In ground-water storage In the 

7-year period ending with 1941 may be computed to be about 600,000 acrefeet. The precipitation In Nebraska during the 7-year period was about 

22.5 Inches below average a deficiency equivalent to about 92,700,000 

acre-feet of water. Since 1934 the decrease in ground-water storage has, 

therefore, been only about 0.6 percent of the deficiency In the precipitation.

During 1941, the water levels In 11 of the 135 observation wells 

reached new high stages and those In 14 of the wells reached new low 

stages.

Water levels In wells In the vicinity of Grand Island rose during 

1941 as a result of an Increase In precipitation. The precipitation for 

the year at Grand Island was 25.23 Inches, 1.83 Inches below normal, but 

13.32 Inches more than In 1940. Because the water-level measurements of 

the wells In the vicinity of Grand Island are not complete for the last 

part of the year, the water levels In 1941 In only 22 of the wells are 

directly comparable to those of 1940. The 22 wells all showed a rise In 

water level ranging from 0.27 foot to 1.68 feet.

The observation wells, which are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county, have numbers that correspond bo those 

given In Water-Supply Papers 817, 840, 845, 886, and 908. This report 

gives complete descriptions for only those wells whose records appear for 

the first time. For most wells the water levels are expressed In feet 

above an assumed datum, which Is 100 feet below the water level on January 1, 1935. The height of the measuring point above datum for wells that
NEBRASKA 157

have been established s^nce January 1, 1935, has been interpolated from 

the average water level in a group of similar wells on a selected date. 

The water levels are directly comparable even though the measuring point 

has been changed, because the record is given as a height above a datum 

;hat has been referred to one or more bench marks.

NORTH DAKOTA 

STATE-WIDE PROJECT

By W. C. Rasmussen

I/ 

The program of water-level measurements in wells in North Dakota was

continued in 1941 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

North Dakota Geological Survey. Fourteen wells were dropped from the program and 11 wells were added. At the end of the year water levels in 173 

wells were under observation.

Water levels in 62 wells were measured weekly by 37 local observers. 

Water levels in 13 wells were measured weekly and 7 wells were measured 

occasionally through the courtesy of city, State, and Federal agencies. 

The remaining 91 wells were measured by the writer once, twice, or several 

times during the year. About 5,500 individual measurements of water level 

were made in 1941. Eight automatic water-stage recorders were operated on 

wells during the year.

The ground-water investigation of the vicinity of Fargo was continued 

by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Dakota Geological Survey and the city of Fargo. A discussion of this project is 

given under the heading of Cass County. A detailed investigation was made 

of the ground water in an area south of Oakes, in Dickey County. Copies 

of a preliminary report based on this investigation are filed in typewritten form in the office of the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C., and in the office of the State 

Geological Survey, Grand Forks, N. Dak., where they may be consulted by 

interested persons. A ground-water investigation of Pembina County was 

begun in 1941. All of this work was done in cooperation with the North 

Dakota Geological Survey.

The following table gives average monthly water levels from September 

1937 to December 1940 based on records of 10 to 42 wells located in different parts of the State. Records for 22 wells were used to compute average 

water levels in 1941. In the first 3^ years of the record the average 

water levels in corresponding months show, in general, decreases in each 

succeeding year, but in May 1941 the water levels began a recovery which 

brought them to a new high average by October. The year closed with the 

average water level above that at the close of any previous year since the 

observations were begun in 1937. The precipitation in North Dakota in 

1941, as reported by the United States Weather Bureau, was 37 percent 

above normal. Excessive rains fell in April, May, June, August, September, 

and .October, with the September rainfall almost 3 times its 50-year average. In July the rainfall was only 72 percent of normal. These variations 

in rainfall may explain the fluctuations shown in the water-level table, 

with the sag in August due to the subnormal July rainfall, and the record 

high in October due to the thrice normal September rain.

Average water levels for the period of record are shown graphically 

in the accompanying figure. This figure also shows the average water levels 

from 1933 to 1941 of six water-table wells at Denbigh, N. Dak. A fair 

correlation of the State average with the Denbigh average is observable, 

with good agreement of the trends, so that a comparable extrapolation of 

average water levels is available back to 1935.

Records for 187 observation wells are included in this report. The 

wells are listed alphabetically by county and numerically within each 

county. Periodic measurements have been made in wells in every county in 

the State, and in 1941 measurements were made on wells in every county except Grand Forks, where two wells that were previously measured have gone 

dry. Complete descriptions are given only for those wells whose descriptions are not included in Water-Supply Papers 840, 845, 386, or 908. In 

the absence of a description, reference is made to the volume in which it 

may be found.

Except where otherwise noted, the water level in each well is expressed 

in feet above an assumed datum plane, which is 100 feet below the water 

level in that well on January 1, 1938, or on" the nearest date of measurement. In each observation well that has been established since January 1, 

1938, the water level on the first day of measurement is generally taken 

to be the same as the average of a group of selected representative wells; 

that is, if the average is 100.26 feet, the datum plane for that well is 

100.26 feet below the water level on that day. The depth of the datum 

plane below the measuring point is then 100.26 feet plus the depth to the 

water level below the measuring point. To compute the depth to water level 

below the measuring point subtract the recorded height of water level above 

the datum plane from the recorded altitude of the measuring point. Hater 

levels for any one well are directly comparable, even though the measuring 

point may have been changed, because the record is given in height above 

a datum plane that has been referred to one or more bench marks near the 

well.

Fargo area 

By A. C. Byers

She investigation of the ground-water resources of the Fargo area, 

begun in 1940 in cooperation with the North Dakota State Geological Survey*

and the city of Pargo y, was continued in 1941. Field work on the problem 

was completed in the fall of 1941, but measurements of the observation 

wells are being continued. Of the wells reported under Cass County, all 

except wells 8, 10, and 29 are measured as part of the Pargo area program, 

and during 1941 about 1,000 individual measurements of water levels in 

these 17 wells were made by the wetted-tape method. Automatic water-level 

recorders were maintained on 6 wells, and about 1,800 water levels from the 

charts are recorded in this report. The measurements were made by L.'Ki

Wenzel, W. C. Rasmussen, Ralph Mader, and Alan C. Byers. Measurements of 

2/ See U. S. Qeol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 908.
NORTH DAKOTA 191

six wells within the limits of Fargo were made by H. G. Palmer, by courtesy 

of the city of Fargo. Measurements were discontinued on 2 wells, so that 

at the end of 1941 a total of 18 wells were being measured In Cass County, 

15 of these being part of the Fargo area program. ' " ! -

In order to provide Information concerning-the effect of pumping the 

well used by the city -of Fargo to supplement Its surface water supply, the 

well was pumped more strenuously In 1941 than In previous years. Pumping 

was begun on June 2,for '8 hours each day; early in August^the duration of 

puaping was increased to 10 hours each-day. The pump waa shut down at the 

and of,-pumping on September 30, after pumping about 50,000,000 gallons 

during the season.. The water levels In wella 28, 12,.5, 5, and 127 showed 

effects of the"pumping, and the water level in well 67 gave a small indication. At the end of 1941 the water levels in these 6 wells .averaged 8.83 

feet below their average level at the end of 1940.

Jfee water level in well 58 was affected by the pumping of well 57, 

and at the end of 1941 it was 3.91 feet below the level at the end of 1940. 

The average water level in wells 8, 10, 29, 43, and 122, which are shallow 

,water-table wells in the Lake Agassiz silt, was 0.83 foot above the average level at tfe.e. end of 1940.

SOUTH DAKOTA

By T. W. Robinson 

SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA

The observation-well program, begun in 1939 in southeastern South 

Dakota, was continued in 1941 in cooperation with the South Dakota Geological Survey. Measurements of water levels were made monthly in 34 wells 

and either twice or three times a year in 10 wells. Measurements were discontinued on one well, and one new observation well was added during the 

year. Two measurements each were made on 5 wells, namely, Nos. 11, 12, 13, 

14, and 15, in which no measurements of water level were made in 1940. 

About 375 individual measurements were made in 1941.

A comparison of the average water levels in a group of 22 wells shows 

that in 1941 there was a net rise in 7 wells, a net decline in 14 wells and 

almost no net change in one well. The average change in these wells was, 

however, a net rise of 0.23 foot. In comparing the water levels in December 1941 with those in December 1939, it is found that there was a net rise 

in 9 wells, a net decline in 12 wells, and no significant change in 1 well, 

the average being, however, a net rise of 0.62 foot.

The accompanying figure shows the water-level fluctuations in five 

water-table wells since December 1939, when the cooperative observationwell program was begun. The topographic situations of the wells is quite 

different. Well 1 is about 4 miles from the Missouri River on its old 

flood plain. Wells 5 and 24 are both on the upland, but locally differing 

in topography. Well 5 is on a rolling upland plain, whereas well 24 is in 

hilly terrain.* The low water level of well 24 in April 1941 may be the 

result of pumping shortly before the measurement was made. Well 31 is in 

alluvium about one mile from the Big Sioux River and is probably affected 

by the stage of the river. Well 42 is on a glacial outwash plain. Wells 

1 and 5 are unused, whereas the other three wells are used occasionally.

226 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

The precipitation in southeastern South Dakota was below normal during January and February 1941 and nearly normal during March. During 

April, June, and October the precipitation was above normal,but during May, 

July, and August it was below normal. During the remainder'of the year the 

precipitation was only slightly above or below normal.

On the following pages the observation wells are listed alphabetically 

by counties, and numerically within each county. The numbers correspond 

to those given in Water-Supply Papers 886 and 908. The descriptions of 

most of the wells and their measuring points are given in Water-Supply 

Paper 886 and are not repeated in this paper. All the records of water 

level are expressed in feet below the measuring point. Measurements of 

water level were made by the Federal Geological Survey in June, July,- and 

August. During the remainder of the year the measurements were made by 

the State Geological Survey.

CITY OP HURON

The recording of water-level measurements in gage hole 1 In the city 

well field near Huron, which was begun in 1934, was 'continued by the city 

authorities in 1941. There was no pumpage from the well field during the 

year as the entire city supply of 313,000,000 gallons was supplied by the 

James River. This is the first year since 1934 that no water was pumped 

from the field. Records of water levels and pumpage from 1934 through 

1940 are given'in Water-Supply Papers 817, 840, 845, 886, and 908. The 

water levels from gage hole 1 for the Huron well field given in this report were furnished by H. M. Pierce, city engineer.

The water level in gage hole 1 was higher in December 1941 than In 

any December since measurements were begun. The high water level has resulted chiefly from the year of rest from pumping. In December 1941, the 

water level in gage hole 1 was 12.4 feet higher than on-December 31, 1940; 

4.7 feet higher than on December 31, 1939; 14.4 feet higher than on December 31, 1938; 11.3 feet higher than on December 25, 1937; 8.8 feet higher 

than on December 31, 1936; 8.3 feet higher than on December 31, 1935; and 

7.7 feet higher than on December 29, 1934.

COON CREEK AREA

By L. K. Wenzel

I/ 

The observation-well program In the Coon Creek area In Vernon,

Monroe, and LaCrosse Counties, Wls., was continued through August 1941 by 

the Federal Geological Survey. A total of 70 Individual measurements of 

water level was made by Prank J. Pencl In 10 wells during the year.

Measurements In the 10 wells were used for computing average water 

levels for 1941, The water levels In well 3 for January and February, when 

the well was dry, were obtained by Inspection from the water levels In 

nearby wells.

The average water level at the beginning of 1941, as shown by measurements made on January 4 and 5, was 10.62 feet above the assumed datum 

planes. The average water level declined In January but rose slightly In 

February and considerably In March, reaching an average stage of 11.61 

feet during the first part of April.- Recharge was apparently greatest In 

March. The average water level declined 0.15 foot to 11.46 feet by the 

first week In July and then declined 0.60 foot to 10.86 feet by August 2 

to 4, at which time measurements were discontinued. Water levels In 

August were at comparable stages with those In August of previous years.
