INTRODUCTION 

By A. H. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

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, 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 wella indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure 

in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935 and has 

continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published 

in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 the records 

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

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections "of 

the country. Hawaii is included in the southwestern section. (See fig. 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 north-central States and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure in about 1,360 observation wells of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, 

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. 

Of these wells, 31 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.' 

For some wells not previously reported complete records of water level are 

given in this volume, including those of the years before 1944. 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 

14,210 individual determinations of water le,vel 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 points 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 

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

1943, however, It was decided that uniform practice should be adopted.
INTRODUCTION 3

AccorQingly precise datum planes were established approximating the land 

land surface at each well. The water levels and artesian heada for all 

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

planes. 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 point 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 o"n general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1944, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

because the 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 1944 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 1944 in the north-central part of the

United StateIn 1944 the precipitation in 6 of the & States in the north-central

section of the country was above normal, but in Illinois, Missouri, and 

Wisconsin it was below normal. The fluctuations of both water 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 cauae-d by differences in the rate of pumping or artesian flow 

from other wells in the area, but most of the observation wells are not 

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 level were continued in 1944 In the one well 

in Illinois an the Nation-wide network of observation wells. This well is 

at Pririceton, Bureau County. It is equipped with a float-tape gage, and 

was first observed in November 1942; observations have been made at

approximately weekly intervals since that time.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of the water level in the well at Princeton during 

1944 followed the general annual pattern of the past record. The lowest 

level on record, 19.31 feet below land-surface datum, was reached on 

February 19, and the highest level of the year on May 27 when it was 4.93 

feet below land-surface datum. The maximum variation in stage during the 

year was 14.38 feet. At the end of the year the water level was 0.70 

foot below its stage at the end of 1943.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of the water level in observation wells in Iowa, some of 

niiich were established in 1934, were continued in 1944 in cooperation with 

the Iowa Geological Survey. Most of the observation wells were established 

over the State as a whole in 1938 when a cooperative program of investigation of the ground-water resources of the State was begun by the Federal 

Geological Survey and the Iowa Geological Survey. In'the Tarkio- Creek 

Valley, in southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri, an observationwell program was organized by the Federal Geological Survey in 1934 in 

which the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of 

Agriculture participated for several years. All of these wells in Iowa 

are now included in one program.

Past records of the water-level measurements made in the wells in 

the Tarkio Creek area are published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, 845, 886, 908, 936 and 988, and those for the wells established in 1938 

first appear in Water-Supply Paper 886.

At the beginning of 1944 measurements were being, made on 269 wells. 

During the year 89 wells were "dropped from the program, and st the end of 

the year 179 wells were under observation. Automatic water-stage recorders 

were maintained on 9 wells. The water level was measured weekly in 5 

wells, monthly in about 63 welrls, and quarterly in most of the remaining 

wells. Approximately 1,510 measurements were made in 1944 as contributions 

to the observation*well program. In addition, many watei»-level measurements 

were made on wells in connection with pumping tests and in gathering 

da%fi on new wells throughout the State. These additional measurements 

and descriptions of wells are not included in* this report.'

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The year 1944 was one of the wettest on record in Iowa. The average 

precipitation over the State for the year was 37.26 inches, 5.65 inches 

above normal. Precipitation was 'above average in Mafch, April, May, and 

August, average in January, February, July, and December, and below 

average only in September, October, and November. This excess of 

precipitation, chiefly as rain, had the expected affect on shallow ground 

waters.

Water levels in shallow wells were generally higher at the close of 

1944 than they were at the close of 1943. During the year the trend was 

upward as compared with declining water-level trends in shallow wells in 

Iowa during the two preceding years when precipitation was Tiot_so great. 

The following table shows the average net change in water levels in 

selected shallow wells, by counties, in 1944.

illow observation wells were established in the Tarkio Creek area, 

which covers parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, in Iowa, and of 

Atehison County, in Missouri, in 1934. Water-level measurements have been 

made in this group of wells at least once a month for almost the entire 

period of record. In 1944 these measurements were made by D. L. Hummel. 

'Records of the wate'r levels in wells in the Missouri part of the area 

are given in the section of this volume that deals with that State.

In April of this year the average water level in the Tarkio Creek area 

approached the record high of 20.6 feet that occurred in March 1942. 

The greatest rise of 1944 occurred in the months of March and April when 

the difference in average water level was 6.72 feet. There were 7.80 

inches of precipitation in April. The high water table continued through 

May and June, the average water levels were 19.61 feet and 19.87 feet, 

respectively. During the remainder of the-year the levels declined 

progressively till November when the average water level-was 13.91 feet 

and December when it was 14.01 feet which was 2.15 feet above the lowest 

average level for January (11.86 feet). The fluctuation of the average 

water level in this area and the precipitation since August 1934 are shown 

by months in figure 2.

The fluctuation of water level in a shallow unused well in the southerr* 

part of Webster County, near Harcourt, is shown in figure 3. The well 

is 41.8 feet deep, taps water in glacial drift and is representative of 

several shallow observation wells in the county which penetrate the same 

water-bearing bed. This aquifer is confined over a large part of Webster 

County and receives most of its recharge in places where sandy drift 

material extends to the surface. _The graph shows the close correlation, of 

water levels to amount of precipitation during the year. The water level 

was 6.66 feet below land-surface datum on January 1, but i't declined 

steadily to the lowest point of the year, 7.1-5 feet, on January 26. \ 

Thereafter there was a steady rise to the high levels for the year of 1.42,

I.32, and 1.45 feet below land-surface datum on May 3, Hay 21, and June

II, respectively. Thereafter the level declined, steadily to the end of the 

year, and on December 31 it was 5.84 feet below land-surface datum. 

Lesser fluctuations were caused by changes in atomospheric pressure.

Using well 83-7-11E1, at Cedar Rapids, Linn County, as illustrative 

of wells affected by industrial pumping, figure 4 shows the fluctuations 

of water level in this well in 1944. In the graph the daily noon water 

level is shown as a point unless the fluctuation is more than 0.4 foot, 

in which case it is shown as a vertical line connecting the high and low 

water level for the day. The well is finished at a depth of 195 feet in the 

upper portion of a formation from which most of Cedar Rapids industrial 

wells and air-conditioning wells draw their supply. The unused well is 

about 3 miles north of the heavily pumped area and about half a mile from 

two wells used for industrial and air-conditioning purposes. On December 

30, 1944, the water level in well 83-7-11E1 was 75.51 feet below land-sur-

*

face datum, which is 2.7 feet below its stage of December 31, 1943 and 7.5 

feet lower than its stage of December 31, 1941. The average decline for 

these 3 years is 2.5 feet as of December 31 of each year.

The fluctuation of the water level is an unused municipally owned well 

in Mason City, Cerro Gordo County (well 96-20-3L2) is shown in figure 5. 

The daily fluctuation is shown by a line connecting the high and the low 

water level for the day. This well is 1,219 feet deep and it is cased 

from the surface to a depth of 99 feet and from 349 to 7lO feet. The 

principal aquifer is the Jordan sandstone, which here has a thickness of 

approximately 70 feet.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The numbers assigned by the Federal Geological Survey to its observation wells in Iowa, other than those in the Tarkio Creek area, show the 

location of the wells according to the rectangular system for subdivision 

of public land. Each number is made up of three segments, separated 

by hyphens. The first and second segments indicate the township and range, 

and the third indicates the section, one of the 40-acre subdivision 

of the section as shown in the accompanying diagram, and by its serial 

number; a particular well. In the second segment of the number of the 

only existing observation well in the State east of the fifth principal 

meridian (well 81-6E-22H1, in Clinton County), the letter E is added 

after the digit representing the range and will be added in the numbers 

of any wells established east of this meridian in the future. In the 

numbers of other wells, it is understood that the range indicated is west 

of the meridian.

INTRODUCTION 

By S. W. Lohman 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued in 1944 in 

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

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

of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health. In addition to the 

State agencies named, the city of Wichita cooperated in Harvey, McPherson, 

and Sedgwick Counties, and the Soil Conservation Service, of the United 

States Department of Agriculture, cooperated in Jewell County. Three 

counties not heretofore included, Cowley, Edwards, and Sumner, were added 

to the program in 1944, making 40 counties in which wells were observed

during the year.

i 

Results of cooperative ground-water investigations in the following

areas were published in 1944: Neosho River Valley in the vicinity of

I/ 2/ ' Parsons, and PInney and Gray Counties.-7 Field work was continued in

Barton, Harvey, McPherson, Republic, Sedgwick, and ffyandotte Counties and 

investigations were begun in Edwards and Pawnee Counties.

At the beginning of 1944, periodic water-level measurements were - 

being made in 406 observation wells in the State. During the year measurements were discontinued in 17 wells and begun or resumed in 40 wells. At 

the end of the year, 429 wells were under observation. Of the 433 wells 

measured in 1944, 95 were measured quarterly, 500 monthly, 4 semimonthly 

and 22 weekly, and automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 12.

The recorders on 4 of these 12 wells 1 in Flnney County, 1 in Grant County, 

and 2 in Scott County are maintained by the Division of Water Resources 

of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. During the year 4,908 wettedtape water-level measurements were made in the State. For convenience, 

the data given in this paragraph have been arranged in tabular form, by 

counties, as follows:

a Excludes 104 wells which are pumped or affected by pumping.

The year 1944 was the second wettest year on record, in Kansas, being 

exceeded only by 1915, As Indicated in the preceding table, the precipitation was above normal in each of the counties given in the table and 

ranges from 115 percent of normal in Clark County to 174 percent of normal 

in Edwards County. As a result the water levels rose during the year in 

most of the observation wells in 34 out of 37 counties. Moreover the highest stages of record were reached in most wells in S4 of the 37 counties.

Barton County 

By B. P. Latta

An investigation of the ground-water resources of southern Barton 

County was made in 1942 in connection with the investigation of the geology 

and ground-water resources of Stafford County, which adjoins Barton County 

on the south. (See Water-Supply Paper 946, pp. 168, 169.) The geology 

and ground-water resources of the northern part of Barton County were 

studied during the summer of 1944 to complete the investigation of Stafford 

and Barton Counties. Eleven wells were added to the observation-well program in Barton County during 1944. Six of the new wells (100, 101, 104, 

107, 111, and 112) tap the Dakota formation, of Cretaceous age, 4 (wells 

103, 109, 110, and 131) tap alluvium, and one (well 105) taps Pleistocene 

terrace deposits.

The descriptions and water-level measurements for the 11 new observation^wells in Barton County, together with the water-level measurements 

for 4 wells whose records began in 1942, are given on the following pages.

Most measurements for wells 883, 884, 885, 886, 887, 894, 895, and 

1,112 are affected by pumping of nearby Wichita municipal-supply wells. 

Because dates of measurement of pumped wells and observation wells do not 

coincide, footnotes designating pumping effect are omitted from the measurements recorded for the above numbered wells.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Periodic measurements of water level were made by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in 3 wells in Minnesota 

during 1944.

The water level in the well neay Hanska, Brown County, fluctuated 

between a high of 3.05 feet on May 22 and a low of 7.31 feet on December 

26. These readings are the lowest and highest on record for this well 

since the first recorded measurement on July 31, 1942. The water level 

was 2.29 feet lower at the end of the year than at the beginning.

Weekly measurements of water level were made also in the other two 

wells, one near the town of Deer Rivor, in Itasca County, the other at 

Eveleth, in St. Louis County.

PROGRAM OP WORK

In 1944 water-level measurements were made on a monthly basis In 18 

wells in Atchison County, and 2 wel2s in Phelps County, and on a weekly 

basis in 1 well in Grundy County as a part of the Kation-wide network of 

observation wells maintained by the Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior. The wells in Atchison County have been 

systematically measured since 1934; they are in the Tarkio Creek area 

which includes additional wells in Montgomery and Page Counties, Iowa. 

The first measurement in the Grundy County well was recorded in 1942. 

During 1944 the measurenents made in the 21 wells In Missouri totaled 

276. None of the wells are equipped with water-stage recorders.

The measurements in the Phelps County wells were made by engineers 

of the Rolla office of the Survey's division of surface water through 

the courtesy of H. C. Beckman, district engineer. The measurements in 

the Atchison County wells were made by D. L. Hummel, and those in the 

Grundy County well by W. H. Rstes, owner of the well.

FLUCTUATIONS' OF WATER LEVEL

In the Grundy County well the lowest stage was recorded on, February 

1 with a measurement of 7.36 feet and the highest on April 30 with a 

reading of 0.50 foot, a rise of 6.86~feet.v The watej? level was 3.34 feet 

higher at the close of the year than it was at the close of 1943.

Fluctuations of water levels in wells in Atchison County, together 

with the other wells in the Tarkio Creek area, are discussed in the section of this volume that deals with Iowa.

PROGRAM ,QF WORK

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

begun In 1934, In cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division of 

the University of Nebraska, w.as continued In 1944. Records of water level 

In the wells and some Interpretation of the fluctuations of the water levels 

are given in the annual reports of the Geological Survey on water levels 

and artesian pressure. The reports already published are Water-Supply 

Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 908, 938, 946 and 988.

Measurements of water levels made In 422 wells are given In the 

present report. Included In the group are 240 wells In the observation 

of which the following organizations are cooperating Informally: Gran^l 

Island Water Department, 46 wells In Hall County and 2 wells In Merrf.ck 

County; Pish and Wildlife Service, United States Department of the Interior, 

9 wells In Garden County; Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation 

District, 1 well In Arthur County, 19 wells In Dawson County, 2 wells In 

Garden County, 23 wells In Gosper County, 65 wells In Keith County, 66 

wells* In Lincoln County, and 7 wells In Phelps County. The dally tape 

measurements for well 85 In Morrlll County were furnished by the Nebraska 

Department of Roads and Irrigation.

Two wells, 600 and 601, were equipped with 8-day automatic waterstage recorders. Well 600, situated In the South Platte Valley, south of 

O'Pallons, Is serviced each week by Warren Doollttle, of the Platte Vallej 

Public Power and Irrigation District, and well 601, situated In the Middle 

Loup River Valley, southwest of Arcadia, Is serviced each week by members 

of the district office of the Surface Water Division of the Geological 

Survey at Lincoln. The water-level records for each of these wells are 

given under the county In which the well Is situated.

NEBRASKA 141

Tables are included showing the monthly and the average dally pumpage, 

over a period of years for the municipal supplies of Grand Island and 

Lincoln.

Monthly measurements of the water levels in eight key wells in Nebraska were continued during 1944. These wells were selected for observation In connection with the preparation of statements on water-level conditions in Nebraska that are prepared currently for the monthly Water 

Resources Review. Monthly measurements of the water level in one of the 

eight wells (Well 2-6600W or'US 62), situated just west of the Lincoln 

City well field, near Ashalnd, are given under Saunders County. This well 

'is measured by personnel of the Ashland pumping station. In all, 2,891 

Individual measurements of water level were made in Nebraska in 1944.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The precipitation in Nebraska in 1944 was 27.38 inches, which is 4.82 

inches above normal and 10.20 inches above the precipitation-in 1943. As 

a result, the water levels in many of the observation wells had net rises 

for the year.

Water levels in the vicinity of Grand Island rose, in general, during 

1944 as a result of an increase in precipitation. The precipitation for 

the year at Grand Island was 31.63 inches, which is 5.97 inches above 

normal, and 17.74 inches more than in 1943. The precipitation was above 

normal for 8 of the 12 months during 1944. As a result, the water levels 

in 42 wells showed net rises during the year ranging from 0.28 foot to 

5.31 feet and averaging 2.46 feet; in 3 wells the water levels showed the 

following net declines during the year: 0.25 foot, 0.33 foot, and 3.11 

feet, an average of 1.23 feet. *

The two following tables give, for each observation well in the State, 

the highest and the lowest water levels of record and the difference between

them, the length of record, and the net changes in water level in 1944, and ft ' 

the net change during the period of record.

PUMPAGE

The following tables give the total draft from'the Important groundwater developments for the public supplies of Lincoln and Grand Island. 

The public supply for the city of Lincoln is pumped from 9 wells installed 

on the floodplain of the Platte River, about 3 miles north of Ashland. 

The first pumping from the Lincoln well field, near Ashland, began In 

August, 1932, and by the end of 1944 a total of approximately 35,165 million 

gallons of water had been withdrawn from the ground-water reservoir. The 

public supply at Grand Island Is obtained by pumping from a group of wells 

drilled Into the Pleistocene sands and gravels of the Platte Valley and 

situated for the most part within the city.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water Investigations and measurement of water levels in observation wells in North Dakota were continued in 1944 in cooperation with the 

State Geological Survey of North Dakota. At the end of 1944 water levels 

were being measured in 132 observation wells, of which 6 were equipped with 

automatic water-stage recorders and 34 were measured weekly or bi-weekly 

by local observers or throxi.gh the courtesy of city, State or other Federal^ 

agencies. Measurements were discontinued in 15 wells for various reasons. 

In this report are given the records of a total of 1,692 water-level 

measurements made in 1944 and, In addition, 1,762 water-level determinations 

obtained from the wells equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

In cooperation with the North Dakota State Department of Health and 

the State Geological Survey, a detailed study of the ground-water conditions 

in the Dickinson area and a reconnaissance 'of the ground-water conditions 

in the Pessenden area were completed, and reports on both investigations 

were released to the public by placing typewritten copies on file at the 

offices of the respective cities, the North Dakota and United States 

Geological Survey offices at Grand Porks, N. Dak., and the United States 

Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. An investigation of the ground-water 

resources of the Mlnot area was begun in 1944, and water-level measurements 

were continued in connection with ground-water studies in the Oakes and 

Pargo-Moorhead areas.

PRECIPITATION

The average annual precipitation for the State in 1944, as reported 

by the United States Weather Bureau, was 21.45 inches, or 20 percent above 

normal. Departures from normal precipitation ranged from -2.86 inches to 

+ 11,45 inches at different stations in the State. The greatest positive 

departures occurred in the north and northeast portions of the State. 

Averages for the State were above normal in March, May, June, August, and

November, with greatest monthly departures of +2.91 inches and +2.31 Inches

were all less than 1 inch.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The average monthly water levels for the State from 1937 through 1944 

are shown in the following table. These averages are based on selected 

observation wells. The averages for 1944 were computed from records of 

18 wells distributed over the State in which water levels were measured

weekly. Figure 8 is a graphical presentation of these data. In general, 

the water levels went down during the earlier part of the year, reaching 

low stages for the year in March and April. The water levels generally 

began .to rise in April and May, in response to recharge from snownelt and 

rain, and continued to rise throiigh the summer, reaching high stages for 

the year in September. In general they went down in October, rose slightly 

in November as a result of rain, and went down again in December. The 

average water levels for the State were 0.33 foot higher in December 1944 

than in December 1945.

In the Red River basin the water levels were generally higher in 1944 

than, in 1943. The greatest measured rise was 5.98 feet in Ransom County 

well 1. However, the water levels declined at Fargo, in Cass County, and 

at Langdon, In Cavalier County, and in wells in Eddy, Foster, and Griggs 

Counties and adjacent areas. The greatest lowering of water level was 

8.63 feet in well 45 at Langdon.

In the central part of the Devils Lake and Upper Sheyenne basin, the 

water levels were higher In 1944 than in 1943 but in the southern and 

northern parts they were lower.

In the James River basin the water levels were higher in 1944 than in 

1943 except in some wells in Wells, Eddy, and Foster Counties, in the northern part of the basin, in Dickey and LaMoure Counties, in the southern 

part. The greatest rise was 3.58 feet in Poster County well 125, and the 

greatest decline was 2. 09 feet in Dickey County well 102.

In the Souris River basin the water levels were generally higher than 

in 1944, and new highs were established for the period of record. Exceptions occurred in part of McHenry County, an adjacent area in Pierce 

County, and a small area in Ward County. The largest recorded net rise in 

the basin was 10.82 feet in Bottineau County well 112. This was also the 

largest net rise in the State. The next largest recorded rise was 10.34 

feet in Divide County well 70. The greatest net lowering of water level 

in the basin in 1944 was in McHenry County well 113.

In the Missouri River basin the water levels declined in a wide area 

\

adjacent to the Missouri River. The greatest decline was 7.26 feet in 

Mclntosh County well 96. The next largest decline was 5.61 feet at the 

other extremity of the region in Williams County well 78. The water 

levels rose in a large area in the southwestern part of the State and in 

small areas adjacent to the Souria River basin, on the north, and the 

James River basin, on the east. The greatest rise was 1.48 feet in Sioux 

County well 2.

Pargo area

The water levels were measured in 7 observation wells In the PargoMoorhead area- throughout 1944 In cooperation with the city engineer for the 

city of Pargo, and in continuance of the ground-water Investigation begun 

In that area In 1940. Six of the wells are equipped with automatic waterstage recorders, and weekly water-level measurements were made In well 28, 

which is not equipped with a recorder. Mr. H. G. Palmer, of the Fargo city 

engineer's office, made the water-level measurements and serviced the 

recorders In the Pargo area in 1944.
NORTH DAKOTA, GASS COUNTY 235

The water-level fluctuation in well 58, located near the pumped well 

at the Union Stockyards, in lest Fargo, followed about the same pattern in 

1944 as was observed in previous years. The water level rose during the 

first part of the year and reached its maximum stage early in June, then 

declined throughout the rest of the year, except during September and early 

October, when it rose slightly. During most of the year the water level 

was at about the same stage as in comparable seasons in 1943, but was 

above the 1943 stage at some times. However, in December 1944 the water 

level lowered rapidly whereas in previous years it either lowered at a 

decelerated rate or began to rise in December. The unusual lowering in 

December was probably due to increased seasonal pumpage. The water level. 

was 2.93 feet lower at the end of 1944 than at the end of 1943.

Wells 3, 4, 5, 12, 28, and 67 are located within the Pargo city limits. 

Well 28 evidently became plugged in May 1944 as a result of surface water 

entering the well, as the water level since that time has been about 30 

feet higher than previously. No ground water was pumped from well 14 by 

the city of Fargo in 1944, and as a result the water levels in wells 3, 

5, 12, and 67 were relatively inactive during the year as compared to 

previous years, the change in water level being less than 1 foot during the 

year. The water-level fluctuations in well 4 followed a pattern similar to 

that of previous years but the change in water level during the year was 

only slightly more than 1 foot. The average water level in the five wells 

was 0.14 foot lower at the end of 1944 than at the end of 1943.

SOUTH DAKOTA

By E. G. Otton and P. D. Akin 

PROGRAM OF WORK

The program of inventorying ground-water levels in observation wells 

in South Dakota, begun in 1939, was continued during 1944 in cooperation 

with the South Dakota Geological Survey. In addition, a detailed study of 

the ground-water resources of the Big Sioux and Skunk Creek Valleys In the 

vicinity of Sioux Falls was completed In cooperation with the city of Sioux 

Falls and In joint authorship with E. P. Rothrock, State Geologist.

Water-level measurements in 59 wells are given In this report. Weekly 

or monthly measurements were made In 49 wells and In 10 wells readings were 

taken once or twice during the year. Two wells In the northern part of 

the State have been added to the observation-well program, having been 

established as a part of the Nation-wide program. Measurements were discontinued in one well during the period and no measurements were made during 1944 in 10 other wells included in previous reports. Data from 20 

selected wells in which water levels were measured In connection with the 

Sioux Falls investigation have been added. One automatic water-stage recorder'was maintained in the Sioux Falls area.

In all, 763 individual water-level measurements are included In this 

report.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Records compiled by the IT. S. Weather Bureau show that the average 

precipitation for the State for 1944 was 24.?7 inches, an average that has 

.been exceeded only 3 times during the period of record beginning in 1890. 

The 1944 departure from the average annual precipitation for the State was 

+5.34 inches. The monthly precipitation was above average in all months 

except March, April, and December.

WELL -NUMBERING SYSTEM

Previously, two methods of numbering wells have been used In the South 

Dakota annual water-level report. One method has been used In numbering 

the various city wells. It Is based upon the common land subdivisions and 

serves to designate the well and to give Its location to the nearest 40- 

acre tract within the section. The other method of numbering the wells was

to assign numbers to the wells In normal sequence within the various counties

* 

as the wells were added to the water-level program.

The second method has been abandoned In this report and all wells are 

now assigned numbers according to the first method. The system Is as 

follows: The well number Is divided Into three segments separated by 

hyphens. The first segment Indicates the township. The second segment 

Indicates the range. The third segrrent Is composed of a number, a letter 

and another number. The number preceding the letter is the number of the 

section In which the well is located. The letter Indicates the 40-acre 

tract within the section according to the diagram given below. The number 

succeeding the letter Indicates 'the number of the well In sequence within 

the 40-acre tract. For instance, if water levels are being measured in 

only one well within the 40-acre tract the number succeeding the letter 

will be 1. If water levels are being measured In three wells located

within the same 40-acre tract, the number succeeding the letter will be 1 

for the well first established for observation, 2 for the second well 

established and 3 for the third.

Three coordinate systems are used In land subdivision in South Dakota. 

That part of the State lying east of the Missouri Elver and Huges, Lynan, 

Trlpp and Gregory Counties west of the Missouri River is referred to the 

fifth principal meridian and a base line crossing central Arkansas. That 

part of the State west of the above counties and south of the White River 

and all of Washington County is referred to the sixth principal meridian 

and a base line running along the Kansas-Nebraska State line. The rest of 

the State is referred to the Black Hills meridian with base line in central 

South Dakota. *

All of the wells listed in this report are referred to the fifth 

principal meridian and the Arkansas base line, except the well in Hardlng 

County which Is referred to the Black Hills meridian. Consequently all the 

wells, except the one in Hardlng County, will be north and west of the 

coordinate axis and no symbols are used to indicate the quadrant. The 

letter N is added to the first segment of the number of the well in Hardlng 

County and the letter E is added to the second segment to indicate that 

this well lies in the HE. quadrant of the coordinate system.

Wells reported here which were used in the report on the Sioux Falls 

investigation have the well number assigned in the Sioux Palls report 

shown in parentheses with the suffix S.P.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Observations of water level in wells In Wisconsin were continued, 

during 1944 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior. At the beginning of the year there were-10 wells on the program, 1 in Ashland County, measured weekly, and the remainder, measured 

monthly, In the so-called Coon Creek area which lies in the basins of 

Coon Creek and Little La Crosse Rivers in Monroe and Vernon Counties. 

In October and November 10 wells, 1 of which was equipped with a waterstage recorder, were added to the program. All the new wells are located 

in the northern part of the Wisconsin River Valley and were measured weekly. At the end of the year 19 wells were under observation. During the 

year about 200 Individual measurements of water level were made.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Precipitation in Wisconsin in 1944 was 29.10 inches, which Is 1.50 

inches below normal. Precipitation at La Crosse, the Weather Bureau 

station closest to the Coon Creek area, was 26.04 inches, which is 4.82 

inches below normal. Trends In ground-water levels in the Coon Creek area 

are shown in the following tables.

All the observation wells in the Coon Creek area show a net decline 

during 1944 but only three of the nine show a net decline for the whole 

period of record. All the observation wells in the Coon Creek area are 

located in valley bottoms or on valley slopes. There is no record of the 

many wells located on the high divides in the area.

Well As 1, in Ashland County, showed a net rise of 0.24 foot during 

1944 from measurements taken Jan. 3, 1944, and Jan. 1, 1945. The well 

reached its highest levels in early June and its lowest levels in August 

and September.
