WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1939

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

levels and artesian pressures, the first, second, third, and fourth of 

which were published as Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845, 

respectively. This series of reports is in a sense an inventory, year 

by year, of the water supplies of those parts of the country that it 

covers. The present report gives records of water level or artesian 

pressure in about 5,500 observation wells in 35 States and the Territory 

of Hawaii that were obtained by the Geological Survey and cooperating 

Federal, State, Territorial, county, and local agencies. About 265 of 

these wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. The complete records of water levels in some wells not heretofore published are 

given in this report, including those for years before 1939. For the most 

part, however, this volume gives current records on wells whose previous 

records have been published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845, 

and it includes about 67,000 individual measurements of water level or 

artesian pressure made in 1939. If complete descriptions of the wells 

were given in one of the previous reports of this series, the well numbers 

only or the well numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given in 

this report.

2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

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

areas, chiefly areas of heavy pumping. In Indiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, 

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

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

observation wells.

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

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

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

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

are given with reference to sea level; and some are given in height above 

an assumed datum plane. As the measuring points on some of the wells were 

changed in 1939, the records may not be directly comparable with those in 

the previous annual volumes; but changes in measuring points are recorded 

in this report. Water levels given in heights above sea level or above 

assumed datum planes are generally comparable with those given in the 

previous volumes. Unless otherwise stated, the depth of wells is usually 

the measured depth below the measuring point.

report are due Misses Martha M. Evans and Goree M. Pellen, who typed the 

offset copy; Rodney Hart, who prepared many of the illustrations; and

GENERAL SUMMARY OP CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVEL IN 1939

Ground-water levels declined generally over the United States in 1939. 

Precipitation was below normal in most of the States along the eastern 

seaboard and in all States west of the Mississippi River except Arkansas. 

As a result of the low precipitation, recharge to most underground reservoirs was relatively small, and ground-water levels at the end of the year 

were generally at lower stages than at the end of 1938.

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

lower at the end of 1939 than at the beginning of the year. Further 

progressive decline in water levels took place in 1939 in observation 

wells in Kings County, on the western end of Long Island, where the water, 

table over a large area has been drawn down below sea level. The water 

levels in many of the wells on the Island east of Kings County established
INTRODUCTION 3

new high stages in the spring of 1939, but because the precipitation in 

the last part of the year was small the high stages were not maintained 

and the water levels dropped below their stages at the corresponding time 

in 1938.

Water levels in four wells in the central part of the State of 

New York reached new maximum stages and also new minimum stages in 1939. 

Abnormal precipitation in February caused unseasonable rises in water 

levels, whereas subnormal rainfall in the fall caused correspondingly 

large declines.

In the Atlantic City area, New Jersey, water levels in wells that 

tap the so-called "800-foot sand" were higher during the first part of 

1939 than during the corresponding period in 1938 but were lower during 

the last part of 1939 than during the last part of 1938. On the other 

hand, water levels in wells that tap the No. 1 sand in the Runyon area 

were much lower during the first 10 months of 1939 than in 1938 but were 

much higher during the last 2 months. Fluctuations in both areas appear 

to be In direct response to changes in the rate of pumping from the two 

sands.

Water levels in 30 observation wells in Pennsylvania at the end of 

January 1939 showed the lowest average on record for that time of year, 

but owing to abnormal recharge from precipitation they had risen by the 

last of February to a higher average than any recorded previously for that 

part of February. Low precipitation in late summer and fall caused the 

water levels to decline greatly and to reach new minimum stages for 

November. Observations on most of these wells were begun in 1931.

Water levels in five observation wells in northern Virginia, which 

were at low stages at the beginning of 1939, rose notably during the 

spring as a result of high precipitation and then declined during summer 

and fall until they again reached very low stages.

Water levels in seven out of nine observation wells in different 

parts of North Carolina that were not appreciably affected by pumping 

had net declines in 1939 that ranged from 0.7 foot to 7.9 feet.

Water levels in observation wells in the Tiger River area of South 

Carolina at the end of 1939 showed the lowest average of the 5-year 

period of record.

An investigation that is being made in the Coastal Plain of Georgia 

indicates that, as a result of heavy pumping, the piezometric surface in 

an area about Savannah is now 65 feet or more below its original level and 

is at places as much as 30 feet below sea level.
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

In the heavily pumped areas near Cincinnati, Ohio, water levels In 

many wells rose rapidly during March and April 1939 as a rersult of heavy 

precipitation. In the period from July 1 to December 1, 1939, the precipitation was almost 5 Inches below normal, and the water levels In 

shallow wells dropped rapidly. In the heavily pumped areas In Mill Creek 

Valley the water levels were generally as high In November and December 

1939 as on corresponding dates In 1938, or somewhat higher.

The water level In a typical well In Roscommon County, In the 

northern part of the Southern Peninsula of Michigan, fluctuated through 

a range of about 1.3 feet In 1939, but at the end of the year It was 

about the same stage as at the beginning of the year. In 1938 a net 

decline of 0.8 foot In water level took place.

Water levels In 35 out of 42 observation wells In Indiana declined 

during 1939, when the average net decline for all the wells was 1.45 feet, 

which Is In addition to an average net decline of 0.7 foot In 1938. The 

water level In some of these wells Is affected by pumping.

Water levels In 12 wells In the Tarklo Creek area, In Iowa and 

Missouri, had an average net decline of 0.13 foot In 1939. In 1938 an 

average net rise of 0,44 foot had taken place In these wells.

In North Dakota the water levels In 42 observation wells distributed 

over the State were In general lower throughout 1939 than at corresponding 

times In 1938. At the end of 1939 the average of the water levels was 

0.23 foot lower than at the end of 1938 and 0.74 foot lower than at the 

end of 1937. The precipitation In North Dakota In 1939 was 84 percent of 

normal.

Water levels In observation wells In southeastern South Dakota that 

are unaffected by heavy withdrawals were at or near the lowest stages 

recorded since observations were begun In 1936.

Water levels in 167 selected observation wells In Nebraska had an 

average net decline of 0.22 foot In 1939, which contrasts with a net 

average rise of 0.18 foot in 1938. The average at the end of 1939 was 

the lowest for the period of record, which began In 1934. The precipitation in Nebraska In 1939 was only 69 percent of normal.

Of the 33 observation wells in Ford County, Kans., water levels in 

all except 2 showed net declines in 1939. Precipitation at Dodge City 

was 7.53 inches below normal. In the Limestone Creek area, Kansas, 

water levels declined In 26 out of 39 observation wells. In southcentral Kansas the water levels in 36 of 43 observation wells had a net 

decline.
INTRODUCTION 5

In the Oklahoma Panhandle, comprising Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas 

Counties, the average of water levels in 119 observation wells were essentially the same at the end of 1939 as at the end of 1938, although the 

precipitation was 4.2 inches below normal. In the Stillwater Creek area, 

Oklahoma, water levels in 12 wells had an average decline of 0.9 foot in 

1939. The precipitation in this area was 7.2 inches below normal.

At the end of 1939 the water levels in observation wells in the Elm 

Creek and Deer Creek areas, near Temple, Tex., averaged 2.35 feet lower 

than at the end of 1938 and 6.26 feet lower than at the end of 1937.

Net declines in water level for 1939 were recorded in most of the 

observation wells in the Mimbres and Portales Valleys and in the shallow 

and artesian wells in the Roswell basin. In all these areas there is heavy 

pumping for irrigation.

Water levels in observation wells in Utah in 1939 had average net 

declines in 25 of 32 ground-water areas. These prevailing declines were 

apparently the result of low precipitation in the last part of the year. 

Water levels in most of these areas were still higher at the end of 1939 

than at the end of 1936.

Water levels in 39 wells in the Plathead Valley between Plathead Lake 

and Kalispell, Mont., declined an average of 0.26 foot in 1939.

In the Palouse River Basin, Idaho, water levels in water-table wells 

averaged 0.21 foot lower at the end of 1939 than at the end of 1938, and 

water levels in artesian wells averaged 1.32 feet lower.

Water levels in 20 wells in the Spokane Valley, Wash., averaged 1.16 

feet lower at the end of 1939 than at the end of 1938.

Average net declines in water levels in 1939 were recorded in all six 

of the areas in Oregon under observation that is, in Baker Va]J.ey, Port 

Rock Valley, Grande Ronde Valley, Harney Valley, 'Walla Walla Basin, and 

Willamette Valley.

In California the precipitation in 1939 was only 67 percent of the 

average. In the Baldwin Park well, No. 42a, in the San Gabriel River 

Basin, the water level stood about 9.5 feet lower at the end of 1939 than 

at the end of 1938 but about 3.5 feet higher than at the end of 1937. In 

the Williams well in the Santa Ana River Basin, the water level had a net 

decline of about 2.75 feet in 1939, and 8 wells in the San Jacinto Valley 

had an average net decline of 0.9 foot. In 24 key observation wells in 

the Mokelumne area, California, there was an average net decline of 3.6 

feet in the year. This decline canceled essentially all the gain of the 

preceding 3 years.
ARIZONA

By S. P. Turner

An investigation of the ground-water resources of Arizona was started 

on August 1, 1939, In cooperation with the Arizona State "Water Commissioner 

and with the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. The work done so far 

has been concentrated in the Glla and Santa Cruz River drainage basins. 

On January 1, 1940, the status of the investigation with respect to waterlevel measurements, was as follows:

Queen Creek Area. This Includes the area between the Salt River on the 

north, the Gila River on the south, the Superstition and Final Mountains 

on the east, and the Salt River Irrigation District on the west. 

1 well with water-stage recorder, 

3 wells with maximum-minimum strip recorders,

44 additional wells measured each month. 

Santa Cruz River Valley from Mexican border north to Casa Grande.

31 wells with maximum-minimum strip recorders,

84 additional wells measured each month. 

San Pedro River Valley near Benson and Saint David.

15 wells measured four times a year.

Avra Valley along Brawley wash from Sierrita Mountains to Junction with 

Santa Cruz River.

4 r wells with maximum-minimum strip recorders,

16 additional wells measured four times a year. 

Duncan-Virden Valley of upper Gila River.

1 well with water-stage recorder, 

5 wells with maximum-minimum strip recorders, 

16 additional wells measured each month. 

Safford Valley of upper Gila River.

1 well with water-stage recorder, 

19 wells with maximum-minimum strip recorders, 

100 additional wells measured each month.

No records have been published for these wells, but the full record 

Is to be published next year,

ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE REGION 

By D. G. Thompson

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

region, which comprises Arkansas County, large parts of Lonoke and Prairie 

Counties, and very small parts of Jefferson and Monroe Counties, Ark., were 

continued in 1939 by cooperative agreement between the Arkansas Agricultural 

Experiment Station and the Federal Geological Survey. This is the thirteenth 

successive year that measurements have been made in this region, the first 

measurements having been made by the Federal Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological Survey, in September 1927, The work of 

measuring the wells was done by employees of the Agricultural Experiment 

Station under the general supervision of Prof. Deane G. Carter and under 

the Immediate direction of Kyle Engler and L. C 0 Carter. As in past years, 

T. J. Fricke, engineer of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, has cooperated 

informally in the well-measurement program and in the study and interpretation of the field records. During 1939 a report on some features of the 

investigation in the Grand Prairie region, especially of those phases of it 

carried on by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, were published 

by that organization as its Bulletin 371, "Problems of water resources for 

rice irrigation, 11 by Deane G. Carter and Kyle Engler. A briefer paper by 

the same authors was published under the title, "Ground-water resources, 11 

in Agricultural Engineering, July 1939.

Water-Supply Paper 777 contains records of 18 wells from the beginning 

of measurements, in 1927 or 1928, through 1935; Water-Supply Paper 840 contains the complete records of 16 additional wells; and Water-Supply Paper 

845 contains the complete records of 5 additional wells. The present report contains the measurements of these wells, with the complete record 

through 1939 of 11 additional wells, or a total of 50.

As stated in the earlier reports of measurements of water level just 

mentioned, the trend of water level or artesian head in the Grand Prairie 

region from year to year may be determined by annual measurements made as 

late as possible in the spring but before pumping for rice irrigation begins. 

Accordingly, for most of the wells in most years only a single measurement, 

in the spring, has been made. Measurements made in the fall, after the 

irrigation season has ended, give some suggestion as to the effects of pumping during the previous summer; but, because local irregularities due to 

pumping during the summer have not been smoothed out, they are not so conclusive as the measurements made during the following spring. For well 280,

7
8 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

which is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder, measurements are 

given of the depth to water level whenever the recorder charts were changed, 

which was generally at weekly intervals. A continuous record of the fluctuations of water level in this well has been obtained since August 1928.

As described in previous reports, the water level in all wells in the 

Grand Prairie region fluctuates at times as much as 0.8 foot in 24 hours 

and more than 1 foot in a few days -as a result of changes in atmospheric 

pressure. To make accurate comparisons of the water level on corresponding 

dates in different years, corrections for fluctuations of atmospheric 

pressure must be made by comparing the pressures, as determined from barograph records at some place nearby, at the time of measurement in successive 

years. Messrs. Engler and Pricke have made such corrections for about 350 

wells that were measured by them in the spring of 1938 and of 1939 and on 

the basis of the corrected data have prepared a map of the Grand Prairie 

region showing lines of equal change in water level in 1939. The map shows 

that a net decline in water level took place throughout most of the region, 

but the amount of change in level differed considerably in different parts 

of the region. In general, the differences In decline can be attributed in 

large part to differences in quantity of water pumped for irrigation.

Out of a total of 353 wells that were measured In both 1938 and 1939, 

327 showed an average drop of 0.925 foot^ and 26 showed an average rise of 

0.7V8 foot. The average decline was somewhat less than that between the 

spring of 1937 and the spring of 1938. The greatest decline, more than 6 

feet, occurred in a small area at the extreme southeastern part of the 

region, including a part of the area known as Little Prairie, and in an 

area farther west, a few miles north of the settlement of Arkansas Post. 

Observations in previous years show that the water level in this part of 

the region is affected by the level of the Arkansas and White Rivers and 

of channels connecting them. The decline In this area is, accordingly, 

believed to be due to a lower level of these streams at the time of 

measurement in 1939 than in 1938. In 1938 the water levels in this area 

were higher than in 1937. Declines of a foot or more occurred during the 

year in several parts of the Grand Prairie region. These include two 

large, irregular-shaped areas between Lonoke and Hazen; a narrow, elongated area extending southward from Hazen to the boundary line between 

Prairie and Arkansas Counties; an area a few miles west of Crocketts 

Bluff; an area just west of Olena; and an area about 5 miles northwest 

of Gillette. In two small areas, one about 3 miles north of Almyra and
ARKANSAS 9

the other about a mile southwest of De Witt, the observed decline, corrected 

for differences in atmospheric pressure, was less than 0.20 foot. Along 

the extreme western edge of the Grand Prairie, between parts of T. 43., 

R. 5 W., T. 5 S., R. 5 W., and T. 6 S., R. 4 W., the water level apparently 

rose in amounts ranging from a few hundredths of a foot to more than 1.0 

foot.

It is believed that originally, in practically the whole region, the 

so-called shallow or Pleistocene water-bearing beds were completely saturated 

and the water was under artesian pressure. In a preliminary report on the 

Grand Prairie region,^ made public in 1931, it was stated that by the 

spring of 1929 the water level had declined so much that the upper part of 

the water-bearing beds had been drained in several areas that totaled about 

100 square miles, or about 64,000 acres. It was estimated that at least 

220,000, and perhaps more than 333,000, acre-feet of water had been removed 

from storage. On the basis of 286 well logs and other data, Mr. Engler 

determined that by the spring of 1939 the area in which the upper part of 

water-bearing beds had been drained had enlarged to include almost the 

whole prairie, except only areas near the border of the Grand Prairie. 

The total area in which drainage is believed to have occurred is about 

422,000 acres. Using an average figure for the annual decline in water 

level throughout the region and an assumed porosity of 30 percent, Engler 

further estimated that the amount of water withdrawn from storage in the 

1938 irrigation season was about 85,000 acre-feet. The total acreage 

irrigated in that year was about 129,000 acres. Of this, about 15,000 

acres were irrigated from deep wells that draw from beds of Tertiary age 

and from surface water, and about 114,000 acres were irrigated from 

shallow wells that draw from Pleistocene beds. If we allow a consumption 

of 1.8 acre-feet per acre, about 205,000 acre-feet of water was pumped from 

the wells in the Pleistocene beds. Deducting 85,000 acre-feet from this 

quantity gives 120,000 acre-feet as the quantity of water believed to have 

moved underground to the wells from areas of recharge, which, as stated in 

the report of 1931, are all believed to be outside the Grand Prairie region.

During the past year Mr. Engler made several pumping tests, on the 

basis of which, by using a method described as the Thiem method, =J he

estimated the permeability (that is, the ability to carry water) of the

I/ Ground-water supplies for rice irrigation in the Grand Prairie 

region, Arkansas: U. S. Dept. Interior Press memo. 49844, 21 pp., 2 maps, 

Jan. 26, 1931.

2/ For a description of this method see Wenzel, L. K.. The Thiem 

methoa for determining permeability of water-bearing materials and its 

application to the determination of specific yield, results of investigations in the Platte River Valley, Nebr.; U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply 

Paper 679-A, 1936.
10 WATER LEVEIS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

water-bearing materials that surround the test wells. Using the average 

of the results from three pumping tests an average figure for thickness 

of water-bearing materials and an average hydraulic gradient Engler 

arrived at another estimate for the rate of inflow of ground water into 

the Grand Prairie region, namely, about 104,000 acre-feet. This is not 

greatly different from the recharge estimated on the basis of quantity 

of water pumped, minus the quantity taken from storage.

If we assume an average consumption of water of 1.8 acre-feet per 

acre, the two figures determined by Engler for estimated inflow or 

recharge in other words, the safe annual yield of shallow water-bearing 

beds in the Grand Prairie region under present conditions would be sufficient to irrigate from 58,000 to 67,000 acres of rice. In the preliminary 

report of 1931, referred to above, it was estimated that the safe yield 

did not exceed 175,000 acre-feet and might be as low as 150,000 acre-feet. 

By the use of a somewhat lower estimate of consumption per acre of rice 

irrigated, namely 1.5 acre-feet, it was estimated in that report that the 

safe yield was sufficient to irrigate between 100,000 and 117,000 acres 

of rice. The more recent estimates, based on a much longer period of 

observation and on many more field data, show that both the safe yield 

and the area that can be irrigated by ground water from the Pleistocene 

water-bearing beds are much less than originally estimated.

As pointed out in Water-Supply Paper 845, a study of water-level 

measurements obtained in the fall of 1938 shows that water is moving 

toward the Grand Prairie region from rather distant localities to the 

west, northwest, and north of the region. Furthermore, in the ricegrowing territory north of the Grand Prairie region the water level has 

declined somewhat as a result of pumping. If there should be a considerable 

increase in the acreage irrigated in this northern territory, with a consequent increase in consumption of ground water, the inflow from this direction into the Grand Prairie region would probably decrease, and the ultimate 

safe yield would be even less than the estimate given above. The consumption of ground water from the Pleistocene beds must be reduced greatly if 

the slow but continual decline in water level is to be stopped.

Water levels in the following wells are given in feet below the measuring points described in Water-Supply Papers 777, 840, and 845.

Unless otherwise stated the measuring points for the following wells 

are either as given in the original published description or in the last 

amended statement published in footnotes in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817,

the change in altitude have not been made.

For 1939 the depths to water level whenever the recorder charts were 

changed, usually at weekly intervals, are given below. Comparison of the 

1939 record with previous years may be made by reference to the graph of 

the lowest water level reached each day since the recorder was installed 

in August 1928, which was published as figure 1, p. 9, in Water-Supply 

Paper 840. Lowest water level in 1939, 94.86 feet Aug. 21. In comparison, 

lowest water level in 1938, 93.90 feet Sept. 4. Highest water level in 

1939, 88.00 feet Jan. 29, as compared to 87.71 feet in 1938. The high 

points are primarily induced by extreme conditions of low atmospheric 

pressure. These figures are not corrected to a uniform atmospheric

GENERAL SUMMARY 

By P. C. Ebert

The Geological Survey continued during 1939 its program of measuring 

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

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

upper San Gabriel Valley. Systematic measurements by other agencies of 

the depth to water level in wells in several areas in California were also 

continued during 1939. The State of California, Department of Public Works, 

Division of "Water Resources, assembled the records of water level that were 

collected during 1938 by the agencies interested in the south coastal 

basins and published them in Bulletin 39-G, Records of ground-water levels 

at wells for the year 1938.

CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA

The following general summary of climatological data for the calendar

2/ 

year 1939 is taken from a report of the Weather Bureau:

"The total precipitation for the State was 67 percent and the total 

snowfall was 89 percent of. the 43-year average. Monthly averages exceeded 

the normal slightly in May and July. The September rainfall was nearly 

four times the normal amount, but the excess was confined to desert regions 

and southwestern counties. Precipitation was subnormal during the other 

9 months, with deficiency large in the first 2 and the last 2 months of 

the year. The total snowfall for the first 3 months of 1939 was moderately 

heavy, but snowfall was generally light thereafter, with large deficiencies 

in November and December. The snow cover at the end of December was 

negligible below the 8,000-foot level, and was decidedly deficient above 

that level.

"Annual precipitation totals exceeded the normal in the desert regions 

and San Diego County, and locally elsewhere in southern California and the 

Southern San Joaquin Valley, but were subnormal elsewhere, with deficiencies 

largest in central coastal and Sacramento valleys and over the western 

slopes of the northern and middle Sierra Nevada. The annual surplus in 

the desert regions and locally in other limited areas of southern 

California was due to the excessive rains that attended the tropical storm 

that moved inland near the Los Angeles Harbor on September 25. In the 

northern fifth of the State a large percentage of the annual precipitation occurred in December."

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

San Gabriel River Basin 

3/ 

Well 42a at Baldwin Park showed a continued drop in water level to a

mean daily altitude of 300.38 feet on February 5, then rose 1.55 feet to 

the peak for the year of 301.93 feet on April 20. On December 31, 1939,

the water level was at an altitude of 291.40 feet, which is 10.55 feet

31, 1938.

Santa Ana River Basin 

San Bernardino Area

The water level in the Williams well rose gradually from January 1 

to May 6, when the depth to water level was 15.25 feet. The low gtage 

of the year 26.75 feet occurred September 30 and was a decline of 11.5 

feet from May 6. On December 30, 1939, the water level was 2.76 feet 

below its stage on December 31, 1938.

The following statement was furnished by the San Bernardino Valley 

Water Conservation District:

"Results of monthly measurements on 293 wells show that the groundwater level over about one-third of the area above the Bunker Hill dike 

was higher at the end of 1939 than at the end of 1938. The areas showing 

gains are Redlands, Del Rosa, the west portion of San Bernardino, and 

Lytle Creek. The water table in all other sections, including Warm Creek, 

Highland, East Highland, Loma Linda, and Mentone is lower now than 1 year 

ago. At present the water table is higher in all sections than at its 

low stage in 1936. In general the basin has recovered in the past 3 

years a little over 50 percent of the decline suffered from 1923 to 1936. 

West of San Bernardino in Lytle Creek the water table has risen to within 

80 percent of its low stage in 1916. Wells along Warm Creek and in the 

Antil region show a recovery of about 25 percent. The water levels in 

the Williams well and other wells in the vicinity of Redlands have 

recovered 60 percent of the previous decline."

South Coastal Plain

The water level in well 41b, in the coastal plain of southern 

California, rose gradually from January 1 to March 30, at which time the 

elevation of the water level was S4.43 feet. The lowest observed stage 

unaffected by pumping occurred on September 14, when the elevation of the 

water level was 13.73 feet. The water level on December 28, 1939, was 

17.91 feet 0.41 foot above its stage on December 15, 1938.

San Jacinto Valley

Measurements of water level made during 1939 in eight wells distributed over the valley indicate a change in water level ranging from a rise 

of 2.2 feet to a decline of 6.6 feet. The greatest rises and declines 

occurred in wells adjacent to the San Jacinto River and in wells at 

Winchester and east of Hemet, which tap material that may have been 

deposited in an ancient channel of the river.

In the northern and western parts of the valley, in the vicinity of 

March Field and Perris, the change in water level during the year was

!/

0.6 foot or less. Water levels in well 72 and its companion well 72c,

at Perris, have declined 41.0 feet during 35 years of record. During

_4/ See Water-Supply Papers 468, 817, 840, and 845.
CALIFORNIA 19

the same period the water levels in well 69a and its companion well 69, 

between Perris and March Field, declined 1.5 feet. Water levels in both 

these sets of wells are affected only slightly by variations in annual 

precipitation. During a period of 19 years the water level in Riverside 

County well near March Field rose 20.9 feet. The water level in this 

well, which is near the north end of the valley, shows a greater annual 

change and is more responsive to variations in annual precipitation than 

the other well.

Water levels in the eight wells measured during the year declined 

0.9 foot.

Tia Juana River Basin

The average of water levels in five wells rose 0.3 foot from December 

1938 to November 1939. During the year, water levels in these wells had 

seasonal fluctuations that ranged from 1.5 feet in well 0140b to 5.0 feet 

in well 0130b.

San Diego River Basin

The water level in well L37 at Lakeside, Calif., rose 0.8 foot, and 

 vater levels in other wells in the basin rose about 0.5 foot, from December 1938 to December 1939. The average net rise was rather uniform from 

EL Monte to Old Town.

San Pasqual Valley

The water level in well H34b, at the upper end of the valley, showed 

a net gain of 0.5 foot from November 1938 to November 1939, whereas three 

wells farther down the valley showed an average net loss in water level 

of 0.2 foot. The water level in well H31b, at a considerable distance 

from the San Dieguito River, declined 1.6 feet.

San Luis Rey River Basin

Water levels in three wells at the narrows above Oceanside, Calif., 

rose several feet from December 1938 to December 1939, whereas well P17, 

at San Luis Rey, Calif., declined 0.6 foot. The average of water levels 

in eight wells between San Luis Rey and Monserate Narrows declined 0.3 

foot during the year.

Santa Maria Valley

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

21 selected wells have been made on the first day of January, April, July, 

and October since April 1938. On April 1, 1939, water levels in 11 wells
20 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

were higher and In 9 wells lower than they were on April 1, 1938. The 

water level In 1 well was affected by pumping. Rises In the wells ranged 

from 0.42 foot to 13.43 feet and averaged 4.19 feet; declines ranged from 

0.21 foot to 10.57 feet and averaged 3.73 feet. The average rise In water 

level In the 20 wells was 0.61 foot. Between January 1, 1939, and January 

1, 1940, however, water levels In only 2 wells showed a rise one of 0.07 

foot and the other of 1.05 feet--whereas water levels In 18 wells showed 

a decline. Declines ranged from 0.43 foot to 18.4 feet. Water levels 

In the 20 wells declined an average of 5.13 feet during 1939.

Sallnas Valley 

According to H. P. Cozzens, county surveyor of Monterey County:

"Water-level measurements of 120 wells In Sallnas Valley extending 

from Moss Landing adjacent to Monterey Bay upstream to San Ardo, a distance 

of 80 miles, were made in April and October 1939. The 1939 measurements 

showed an average decline In water level of 2 feet from the 1931-39 average. 

This decline Is probably the result of deficient rainfall.

"In some of the wells In the lower portion of the Valley the 1939 

measurements Indicate a decline In water level of 30 feet from the levels 

of 1916, as Indicated by a few available records."

Santa Clara Valley

The following summary of ground-water conditions In the Santa Clara 

Valley during 1939 was 'furnished by G. W. Hunt, district engineer of the 

Santa Clara Valley Conservation District:

"Due to the fact that the surface run-off was very small and the 

pumping draft heavy during 1939, there was a decline In ground-water levels 

throughout Santa Clara Valley. For the study of ground-water conditions, 

the Valley has been divided into two areas; one, the former area of artesian 

flow; and the other, the remainder of the Valley.

"ARTESIAN AREA:

"The former area of artesian flow lies at the northern end of Santa 

Clara Valley and comprises 26 percent of the total area. In this area 

during 1939 the average water levels dropped 5.6 feet. On January 1, 1959, 

the average water level was 20.0 feet higher than It had been on January 1 

of the preceding year. It continued to rise until the beginning of April, 

at which time It was higher than It had been for many years. With the 

beginning of the spring pumping season the water levels dropped rapidly 

and by the end of the year were 5.6 feet lower than on the same date the 

previous year.

"Due to the high water levels during the first few months of 1939 a 

large number of wells started to flow. In 1938 a few wells along the edge 

of the marsh land flowed for about 2 months. This had been the first time 

In many years that there were any flowing wells In the Valley. During 

1939 this condition continued until the latter part of April. The area 

In which these flowing wells were located extended about 3.5 miles Inland 

(Southerly) and up to elevations of about 40 feet above sea level.

"REMAINDER OF THE VALLEY:

"At the beginning of 1939 the average water level In the remainder 

of the Valley was 20.3 feet higher than at the beginning of 1938. There 

was a rise over this area (with the exception of the heads of the alluvial 

cones) until April and from then on a steady decline In water levels. The 

decline In water levele at the heads of the cones during the spring months
CALIFORNIA 21

was due to the fact that there was practically no run-off in the streams 

entering the Valley. 3y the end of 1939 the average water level in this 

area was 18.4 feet lower than on the corresponding date in 1938.

"CONCLUSION:

"Although the water levels throughout Santa Clara Valley declined 

during 1939, the condition is not serious. The average water level for 

the entire Valley in November 1939 was 30 feet higher than in November 

1934, at which time the water levels were at an all-time low. The 

probability of another year, in which the distribution of rainfall is 

such that it will produce practically no run-off, occurring in the near 

future is very slight. Consequently there is no cause for alarm due to 

this rather large decline in water levels."

Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys 

Edward Hyatt, State engineer, furnished the following information:

"No measurements of ground-water elevations in the Sacramento Valley 

and that portion of the San Joaquin Valley north of Chowchilla River were 

made by this office during 1939.

"Ground-water measurements in the fall and early winter of 1939 in 

the upper San Joaquin Valley south of Chowchilla River showed some average 

lowering of the ground-water table in areas recharged by Chowchilla, Presno, 

San Joaquin, Kings, Kaweah, Tule, and Kern Rivers, and by Deer, Poso, and 

Caliente Creeks, and other minor streams. Lowerings in Madera Irrigation 

District averaged approximately 4 feet, and in Presno, Consolidated, and 

Alta Irrigation Districts, approximately 2.5 feet. Average lowerings in 

the Kaweah Delta and Lindsay, Tule-Deer Creek, and Earlimart-Delano areas 

varied from 3 to 6 feet. Substantial lowerings were also recorded in the 

McParland-Shafter, Rosedale, and Edison-Arvin areas."

Mojave River Basin

Observations during spring and fall were continued on about 90 wells 

in the area. The flow in the Mojave River during the winter of 1938-39 

was below normal; generally, changes in water levels were those caused by 

the movement of the ground water placed in the basin during the years of 

high run-off, 1936-37 and 1937-38.

In the lands adjacent to the Mojave River, upstream from Victorville, 

water levels declined during 1939 in amounts varying from 6 feet at the 

extreme upper end of the valley to 1 foot or less near Victorville. Water 

levels in wells between the bottom lands and the borders of the basin 

declined about in proportion to the distance from the Mojave River. Water 

levels in a few wells on the borders of the basin rose slightly.

Water levels in the Victorville-Helendale-Hodge area changed very 

little, as they showed only the usual seasonal fluctuations. In the 

Hodge-Hinckley area the water level dropped about 3 feet in wells in the 

bottom lands downstream from Hodge Crossing and rose about 4 feet in a well 

near the Barstow-Mojave Highway. The level in the latter well may be 

affected by pumping. Measurements of depth to water level in a well 

between the river bottom lands and Barstow-MoJave Highway indicate that
22 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

the peak water level in that locality following the recharge of the basin 

in 1936-37 and 1937-38 occurred in the spring of 1939. The water level 

in this well in November 1939 was about 6.5 feet higher than in January 

1937. Small but persistent declines were indicated in the area southeast 

of Harper Lake. Water levels in wells in the Lenwood-Barstow area have 

remained about stationary or have declined slightly.

The water level in the area between Barstow and the Van Dyke ditchintake dropped 1 to 2 feet. Downstream from the ditch-intake, the water 

level, as shown by well LI, dropped about 6 feet during the period from

November 1938 to November 1939. In the basin bounded on the west by

5/ 

Daggett and Yermo and on the east by the Kouns-Newberry sand-dune belt,

the changes in water level ranged from a decline of 5 to 6 feet in the 

vicinity of Daggett to a decline of 1 foot or less in the sand-dune belt 

and to a rise of about 1 foot in the south border of the valley near 

Minneola. The pattern of the movement of the ground water in this 

basin, following the large recharge of 1937-38 and 1938-39, was quite 

similar on the north and south sides of the river. Wells to the east 

and downstream from Kouns-Newberry break indicated no definite change in 

water level; water levels in the vicinity of Newberry and in the NewberryTroy Lake area continued practically stationary.

Antelope Valley

Observations during 1939 were made in this area shortly before and 

after the irrigating season, in March and November, respectively. The 

difference in the two observations indicates a lowering of water level of 

from 1 to 14 feet throughout the valley, with most of the wells indicating 

a lowering in water level of from 5 to 6 feet. Declines varied mainly 

with the amount of pumping during the season in the vicinity of the 

observation wells. A comparison of water levels in November 1939 with 

'those of November 1937 indicates an average net decline in 2 years of 

about 2 feet in observation wells in the Roosevelt-Redman area and in 

the northwestern part of the valley, and declines of from 5 to 6 feet in 

the rest of the valley.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 

MOKELUMNE AREA 

By A. M. Piper

During 1959 the program of water-level measurements in wells in the 

Mokelumne area, California, was continued by the East Bay Municipal Utility 

District on about the same scope as in 1938. The records obtained by the 

Utility District for 24 selected observation wells in San Joaquin County 

have been taken in earlier water-level reports and in this report to 

represent average water-level fluctuations of the area. The causes of 

these fluctuations were treated at some length in a recent report. ^ 

The 24 records also serve roughly as an index to changes in ground-water 

storage in the area.

The water level in one of the 24 wells was measured weekly until 

mid-May, and monthly thereafter; in the remaining 25 wells, quarterly to 

monthly. Altogether, 269 water-level measurements were made during the 

year. No water-level recorders or float gages were operated.

52 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The following table shows the averages of the year-end water levels 

In the 24 wells beginning with 1933. It Indicates that the substantial 

upward trend of water levels, which began In 1935 and continued unchecked 

through 1938, has ceased and that the recent trend has been sharply downward. Indeed, the year-end water level of 1939 was only slightly higher 

than the corresponding level of 1935, when the upward trend began.

the periods from January to May, Inclusive, and from June to December, 

Inclusive, 1937-1939. During the first period the aggregate withdrawal 

from wells for Irrigation ordinarily Increases to a maximum and during 

the second period the withdrawal diminishes to a minimum. The table 

Indicates that in the first period in 1939 the increasing withdrawal 

depleted ground-water storage considerably, whereas in 1937 and 1938 

replenishment exceeded withdrawal. Thus, in 1939 either the withdrawal 

was considerably greater and occurred earlier or the replenishment was 

relatively small and came late In the year, or both.

NEW HAVEN COUNTY

By John G. Ferrls

An investigation of ground-water conditions In Connecticut was started 

In October 1934 as a project of the Federal Relief Administration (replaced 

by the Works Progress Administration in 1935), under the sponsorship of the 

State Planning Board and the State Water Commission, and under the technical 

direction of the Federal Geological Survey. The inventory of wells and 

springs and a tabulation of periodic measurements of water levels in 

selected wells, collected through December 1937, were published In November 1938 as Bulletins GW-1 to GW-6~~ of the Works Progress Administration 

for Connecticut.

Detailed Investigations of the ground-water resources of the New Haven

area In 1919 Indicated that local over-pumping had already resulted in salt

2/

water Intrusion. The more recent work of the Works Progress Administration Indicated that conditions are now more critical than they were In 

1919. Moreover, It seemed likely that further over-development would take 

place with the rapid Increase In use of ground water for air conditioning. 

These conditions indicated the desirability of starting a systematic program 

of collecting basic data that would show the trend of over-development. In 

1939, It became necessary to curtail the work being carried on by the Works 

Progress Administration. Accordingly, cooperation was arranged between the 

Federal Geological Survey and the Connecticut State Water Commission for 

the purpose of obtaining water-level measurements In observation wells 

selected to give a comprehensive picture of the effects of the pumping for 

Industrial purposes and for air conditioning.

"Wherever possible, observations have been made In wells at Industrial 

plants listed In Water-Supply Paper 540. The numbers assigned to wells In 

that report refer to the establishment or owner and Include all wells at 

that location or under that ownership. In the present report a separate 

number has been given to each well, and cross reference to the numbering 

system used In Water-Supply Paper 540 Is given In the descriptive headings.

At the end of 1939 one automatic water-stage recorder was in operation 

and weekly water-level measurements by the wetted-tape method were being 

made in 23 additional observation wells in New Haven. A total of about 660 

individual water-level measurements were made in 1939. The measurements 

were made from clearly marked substantial points at or near the top of the 

well, such as top of casing, top of coupling, or top of recorder shelf. 

Instrumental levels were run to each well to determine the altitude of 

the measuring point above mean sea level. Reference bench marks were set 

at all wells.

The precipitation at New Haven was about normal in 1939. However, 

the first four months of the year had more than average precipitation, the 

excess at the end of April being more than 5 inches above the average. 

May, June, and July were deficient in precipitation, with a total for the 

three months of almost 7 inches below normal.

The records of ground-water level here given do not cover a period 

long enough to warrant conclusions or summaries.

FLORIDA

By W. P. Cross and H. H. Cooper, Jr.'

Observations of water levels and artesian pressure In wells In Florida 

were continued during 1939 In connection with the cooperative ground-water 

Investigations by the Florida Geological Survey, Herman Gunter, State Geologist, and the Federal Geological Survey. Measurements of water levels In 

wells were made also In Dade and Broward Counties In connection with a 

ground-water Investigation started In 1939 by the Geological Survey In 

cooperation with the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and Coral Gables, and 

with Dade County. A brief statement of the work and availability of 

records of water level In wells In Florida prior to 1936 Is given In WaterSupply Paper 777; observations made In 1936, 1937, and 1938 on the Sharpes 

Ferry well (Marion County 5) and the Blue Grotto sinkhole, In Marion County, 

are given In Water-Supply Papers 817, 840, and 845. A graph showing fluctuations of artesian pressure from 1933 to 1937, inclusive, In the Sharpes 

Ferry well Is included in Water-Supply Paper 840.

During 1939, observations by the district office of the Federal 

Geological Survey at Ocala, Fla., were continued on the Sharpes Ferry well 

and the Blue Grotto sinkhole. A recording pressure gage was operated on 

a well owned by C. S. Lee near Oviedo, In Seminole County.

Most of the wells In Dade and Broward Counties vary In depth from a 

few feet to about 250 feet and tap water in limestone or sand of Miocene,

Pliocene, and Pleistocene ages. A few of the wells, however, are as much

2/ 

as l,00u feet deep and tap artesian water In limestone of Eocene and

Miocene ages. The artesian water, however, Is generally too highly miner17 

alized to be satisfactory for domestic and public consumption.

Periodic measurements of water level were being made by the Federal 

Geological Survey in 68 observation wells in Dade and Broward Counties 

at the end of 1939. Four of the wells are equipped with automatic waterstage recorders, and the rest are measured weekly. About 790 individual 

water-level measurements were made during the year in connection with the 

observation-well program.

Subnormal precipitation during the first 4 months of 1939 created 

some concern regarding ground-water supplies for the cities of Miami and 

Miami Beach, and as a result periodic observations of water levels in 

selected observation wells and canals in these cities were begun. Groundwater levels during May were in general the lowest for the year. Rainfall 

during the rainy season--June to September caused considerable recovery 

of water levels, and heavy rains in October produced the highest water 

levels of the year. Water levels were receding rapidly at the end of 

1939.

The rainfall at Miami during 1939 was 57.39 inches, compared with a 

33-year average of 58.82 inches. Precipitation during the first 4 months, 

however, was only 3.40 inches, compared with a normal of 9.61 inches. 

Rainfall during the rainy period from June to September, when about half 

the annual precipitation usually occurs, was about normal. Rainfall 

during the last 3 months of 1939 was considerably above normal.

GEORGIA

By M. A. Warren and A. C. Munyan

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in wells in the

I/

Coastal plain of Georgia were continued during 1939 as part of a cooperative ground-water investigation by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

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

Resources. The measurements were made in wells in counties bordering the 

Atlantic Coast and in Dougherty County in southwestern Georgia. The work 

in the coastal area was by M, A. Warren of the Federal Survey and that in 

Dougherty County was by A, C. Munyan, Geologist of the State Division of 

Mines, Mining, and Geology.

Water-stage recorders on well 8, Chatham County, and well 3, Dougherty 

County, and a pressure recorder on well 3, Glynn County, were continued in 

operation during 1939. Approximately 460 individual measurements of water 

level were made in 48 observation wells in 1939.

The piezometric surface of the artesian water in 1939, or the height 

to which water would rise with reference to sea level in tightly cased 

wells that penetrate the Ocala limestone, is represented by contours in 

the accompanying figure. The contours conform in a general way to the 

structure of the Ocala limestone and indicate that the movement of the 

artesian water in general is toward the coast. One of the most conspicuous 

features shown by the contours is the effect of heavy withdrawals of water 

from wells in the Savannah area. The piezometric surface in this area is 

now 65 feet or more below its original level and is at places as much as 

30 feet below sea level.

By Hr T. Stearns 

ISLAND OF OAHU

During 1939 the Geological Survey made 297 monthly measurements of 

water level In 24 wells on the island of Oahu. The Board of Water Supply, 

city and county of Honolulu, made 208 measurements in 103 wells within the 

district of Honolulu, of which 97 wells were measured more than once, and 

the Board maintained automatic water-level recorders on 9 wells. One 

additional recorder was operated by the Geological Survey. In 1939 the 

Honolulu Board of Water Supply pumped 6,200,000,000 gallons, and private 

wells in Honolulu yielded 5,200,000,000 gallons.

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

storage in 1939; in the other areas the loss in storage was small.

The following table summarizes water levels in wells in Oahu for the 

period 1935-39. The highs recorded from 1937 to 1939 exceeded previous 

high water levels in some of the wells as far back as 1917. This resulted 

from a series of very wet years beginning in 1936 as shown by the high 

average annual rainfall in the Territory listed in the following table. 

The period of low rainfall from 1931 to 1935 caused heavy pumpage on all 

the plantations, which, combined with the low recharge in the intake 

region of the artesian areas, caused the water levels to reach very low 

stages in 1935 and 1936. In areas 7, 8, and 11 these lows exceeded any 

since 1911, when monthly measurements were begun.

ISLAND OF MAUI

As elsewhere in the Territory the increased rainfall beginning in 

1936 caused a rise in the water levels in wells in Maul. This rise was 

not so great as in Oahu because the Maul wells are not artesian, and hence 

the water levels in them do not fluctuate as widely as those on Oahu. 

Moreover, the water table in Maul was not greatly drawn down by pumping 

during the preceding dry years. In 1936 the water level rose, in 1937 it 

was practically unchanged, in 1938 it declined, and in 1939 it rose. 

Starting in the winter of 1939 a period of antitrade-wind weather caused 

very dry weather on the windward slopes of all the islands, but most plantations on the lee slopes, such as the Pioneer Mill Company, benefited 

from the so-called "Kona" showers. These rains decreased pumpage.
86 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

Maul ContInued

The East Maul Irrigation Go. delivered 82,801.11 million gallons of 

water to central Maul during 1939. The pumping season of the Maul Agricultural Co. began In January but all of the pumps were not running until 

May. The pumps were shut down In November and December. All the pumps 

of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Co. except No. 8, which was started on 

May 18 and shut down on November 16, were started the first week of 

January and were shut down at the end of December.

The chloride content, In parts per million, for the Maul Agricultural 

Co.'s wells on December 31, 1939, was as follows: 366 at Lower Pala 

(Nos. 1, 2, 4, and 6), 197 at Upper Pala (No. 7), 197 at Kuau (No. 12), 

and 166 at Kaheka (Nos. 3 and 5).

The data In the following table were furnished by H. J. Eby, 

R. E. Hughes, and C. A. Brown.

ISLAND OP MOLOKAI

The two years' records of water level in the wells on Molokai indicate 

only very small fluctuations. The most important change has been the slow 

increase in the chloride content in Tl due apparently to the slow dispersion 

of the fresh water used for drilling the hole in June 1938.

A test hole that encountered perched water at depths of 157 and 174 

feet was bored at the Kaunakakal shaft. Basal water was struck at about 

9 feet above sea level with only about 30 parts per million of chloride. 

The unusually high head and low chloride may result from the perched water 

running down the hole.

million, in observation wells on Molokai, 1939

ISLAND OP HAWAII

On March 6, 1939, following a period of heavy rain, the water level 

In the Olaa shaft reached the unprecedented altitude of 25.86 feet or 

9.51 feet above the pump chamber floor. Each year since 1937 the water 

level has reached a progressively higher peak. The shaft at Kalwlki has 

shown no appreciable change In water level since measurements were begun 

in January 1938.

Idaho, some continuing water-level records have been obtained In two 

areas of that State in connection with projects whose areas lie chiefly 

In Washington. The two areas are (l) the Rathdrum Prairie region, in 

Bonner and Kootenal Counties, which is an eastward extension of and pospibly the principal area of ground-water recharge for the Spokane Valley 

of Washington; and (2) the higher part of the basin of the South Pork of 

the Palouse River, in Latah County, which is adjacent to Whitman County, 

Wash. The purpose and status of the cooperative investigations through 

which water-level records are being collected in these two areas in Idaho 

are given in the Washington section of this volume.

In the Rathdrum Prairie region measurements of water level were 

made In five wells about once a month during 1939} in all, 54 measurements were made In 1939. No water-level recorders or float gages were 

maintained in the region. In four of the five wells, the water level 

fluctuated relatively little during the year and was about midway between 

the highest and lowest levels yet observed In those wells; the following 

table summarizes the water-level fluctuations. In the fifth well, the 

water level rose nearly 100 feet between January and April and has remained 

high thereafter! a wholly adequate explanation for this inordinate rise 

is not yet at hand.

In that part of the Palouse River Basin which lies In Latah County, 

Idaho, records of water level were obtained in 1959 for 12 observation 

wells, of which 10 wells tap unconflned water (water-table condition) and 

2 wells tap confined water (artesian condition). A water-level recorder

IDAHO 91

was operated throughout the year on 1 of the water-table wells. Measurements of water level were made once a week in 2 other water-table wells 

and about once a month in the remaining 7 water-table wells and the 2 

artesian wells. Altogether, 233 water-level measurements were made in the 

year. Observations were discontinued on 1 water-table well in 1939, so 

that 9 water-table wells and 2 artesian wells were under observation at 

the end of December.

The following table summarizes the water-level fluctuations during 

the year: Unlike the contiguous area to the west, the water table in 

Latah County did not rise unusually high at any time and fluctuated only 

moderately; at two wells it declined to the lowest level yet observed. 

But like the contiguous area, on the other'hand, water levels in the 

artesian wells in Latah County continued their downward trends.

INDIANA.

By C. L. McQuinness

The cooperative program of water-level measurements In observation wells 

in Indiana, begun In 1935, was continued In 1939 by the Federal Geological 

Survey and the Division of Geology of the Indiana Department of Conservation. 

The detailed investigation of ground-water conditions in the Indianapolis 

area, begun in 1938, was also continued in 1939.

Water-level measurements, though discontinued in several observation 

wells in the State in 1939, were begun in 8 wells in Indianapolis. Measurements were made at least once in about 75 wells. At the end of the year 

water levels were being measured periodically in about 60 wells. As measurements are made voluntarily by members of the State Department of Conservation, 

the Civilian Conservation Corps, and municipal water departments, acknowledgment is due these organizations for their cooperation.

Measurements are made twice a month in most of the wells; once a month, 

in a few wells; once a week in a few other wells; and daily in one well in 

Indianapolis. About 1,500 individual measurements were made in 1939. Two 

float-type automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on wells in 

Indianapolis during the year.

Essentially complete water-level records were obtained for 42 wells in 

1939. Thirty-five wells showed net declines in water level for the year, 6 

wells showed net rises, and 1 well had the same level at the end of the year 

as at the beginning. In the 6 wells showing net rises in water level, the 

rises ranged from 0.2 foot to about 2.5 feet. In the 35 wells showing net 

declines in water level, the declines ranged from leas than 0.1 foot to 

5.65 feet.

There was an average net decline in water level of about 1.45 feet in 

the 42 wells.

Of 14 wells in northern Indiana, 4 showed net rises in water level, 9 

showed declines, and 1 showed no net change. For the 14 wells the average 

net decline was about 0.6 foot. Of 24 wells in central Indiana, 2 showed 

net rises in water level, and 22 showed net declines. For the 24 wells the 

average net decline was about 2.05 feet. Four wells in southern Indiana 

showed net declines in water level that averaged 0.95 foot.

Precipitation in the State during the year was about a half inch below 

normal. It was above normal from January through July, except for May, 

when there was a deficiency of nearly 2£ inches. The accumulated excess

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845.

INDIANA 97

at the end of July was nearly 6 inches. The precipitation was below normal 

during the last 5 months of the year, when the deficiencies ranged from a 

few hundredths of an inch in October to 2-| inches in September.

Water levels in most of the wells that showed seasonal fluctuations were 

at the highest stages of the year during the middle of March, although in 

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

of April or in the early part of May. The lowest stages were reached in 

most wells rather late in the year, and in about 20 wells the water levels 

were still declining at the end of the year. The lowest water levels 

during the period of record were reached in about 20 wells late in 1939 or 

early in 1940. Previous record low stages in most wells were reached in the 

summer and fall of 1936 in about 10 wells in 1936 low stages are still the 

lowest of record.

The average total range of fluctuation in the 42 wells for which the 

records of 1939 are essentially complete was about 6.6 feet 0.4 foot more 

than the 1938 average. Fluctuations in individual wells ranged from 0.8 

foot to about 19 feet. Twenty-two water-table wells, presumably not affected 

by pumping, showed fluctuations that ranged from about 1.2 feet to about 19 

feet an average of about 7.5 feet, or 0.5 foot more than the 1938 average.

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

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

Papers 817, 840, and 845. Names of the observers are given for each well 

or group of wells, except for wells in which the only measurements for 1939 

were made by G. P. Fix, Assistant State Geologist, or by the writer.

Marion 2. Security Trust Bank Building, 130 East Washington Street, 

Indianapolis. Continuous water-stage recorder installed Dec. 20, 1939. 

Measuring point 688.27 feet above mean sea level. Measurements given in 

Water-Supply Paper 845 for Nov. 25 and 30, and Dec. 7, 14, 22, and 28, 1938, 

should be corrected by subtracting 0.49 foot.

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

100 feet north of creek, about 700 feet west of South Meridian Street (4200 

block), and about 350 feet south of Edwards Avenue, Indianapolis. Kquipped 

with automatic water-stage recorder from Dec. 11, 1937, to Dec. 20, 1939. 

Artesian well, diameter 8 inches, depth 304 feet. Penetrates limestone. 

Measuring point, top of the casing, about 5 feet above land surface and 

698.2 feet above mean sea level. Water is under sufficient head to flow 

at the surface during periods of high water level. Water level greatly 

affected by pumping from a well 1,000 feet north, at the greenhouse of Fred 

Magendanz. The Magendanz well is 4 inches in diameter and 368 feet deep 

and penetrates limestone; is equipped with an engine-driven lift pump with 

a capacity of about 30 gallons a minute; is used for sprinkling both indoors and outdoors, and for washing vegetables; and is pumped when required 

for sprinkling from an hour or two to as much as 18 hours a day. A record 

of the times at which the pump on the Magendanz well was started and stopped 

was kept for a period of about seven weeks during July and August 1939, and 

for every pumping period the water level in well 4 showed a marked and 

continuous decline until the pumping stopped, when the water level almost 

immediately stopped declining and began to rise. This indicates that at 

least the major fluctuations in water level in well 4, observed during the 

summers of 1938 and 1939, were probably caused by the pumping of the Magendanz 

well.

The fluctuations of watep level in well 4 caused by pumping from the 

Magendanz well ranged from a few tenths of a foot to more than 5 feet, depending largely upon the length of the pumping period and the position of the 

water level before pumping started. The largest daily fluctuation in 1938 

was 6.24 feet on Aug. 30, and in 1939 was 5.98 feet on May 24. The total 

annual range of fluctuation was 10.32 feet in 1938, from 1.25 to 11.57 feet 

below measuring point, and 11.11 feet in 1939, from 3.18 to 14.29 feet below measuring point. According to the recorder charts, the Magendanz well 

was pumped about 150 times during the period Apr. 19-Nov. 1, 1938, for a 

total of about 600 hours; during the period May 4-Oct. '17, 1939, the well 

was pumped only about 130 times, but for a total of about 700 hours. Before 

and after the limiting dates during both years the pump was seldom operated 

more than about an hour.

The water level in well 4 appears to be affected also by pumping from 

one or more unidentified wells, probably wells penetrating limestone at 

distances greater than 1,000 feet, but the fluctuations produced by such 

pumping are relatively small in comparison to the fluctuations caused by 

pumping from the Magendanz well. The water level in well 4 is also apparently affected by changes in barometric pressure, but these fluctuations are 

generally apparent only during the winter months when the Magendanz' well 

is seldom pumped. The water level is not affected greatly, if at all, by 

pumping from nearby wells penetrating sand and gravel overlying the limestone. Water levels in well 4 were consistently lower in 1939 than In 1938, 

but.that this was not caused entirely by the longer total period of pumping 

from the Magendanz well during the summer of 1939 is shown by the fact that 

water levels in several other rock wells in Indianapolis were somewhat lower 

in 1939 than in 1938.

Marion 13. Indianapolis Sanitation Plant. "East" observation well, 

about 500 feet east of power plant. Driven test well, diameter 8 inches, 

depth about 11 feet. Taps water in unconsolidated deposits. Measuring 

point, top of casing, about 5 feet above land surface and 673.40 feet 

above mean sea level.

Marion 14. Indianapolis Sanitation Plant. "Resettler" observation 

well, about 400 feet southeast of power plant, at southeast edge of reSettler tank. Driven test well, diameter 2 inches, depth 25 feet. Taps 

water in unconsolidated deposits. Measuring point, top of casing, level 

with land surface and 685.68 feet above mean sea level.

Marion 15. Indianapolis Sanitation Plant. "No. 2 driven well", 

about 550 feet north of power plant and 64 feet northeast of supply well 

6. Driven test well, diameter 2 inches, depth 28 feet. Taps water in 

 unconsolidated deposits. Measuring point, top of c'asing, about 2 feet 

above land surface and 689.22 feet above mean sea level.

Water levels in wells 15-15 are affected by pumping from six supply 

wells and a gravel pit that tap water in unconsolidated deposits. Five 

of the supply wells are in a group that extends from 500 to 700 feet 

north of the power plant and the other well is about 600 feet northeast 

of the power plant. The gravel pit is about 1,500 feet northwest of the 

power plant. The water level in well 11, which penetrates bedrock, is 

presumably not greatly affected by pumping from the unconaolidated deposits; the nearest known pumping rock wells are more* than a mile distant. 

Well 12 presumably taps water in unconsolidated deposits, but the major 

water level fluctuations in it are apparently more similar to those in 

well 11 than to those in wells 15-15.

Measurements in wells 11-15 were made by P. W. Richards^ George 

Perguson, and D. 0. Bender, Indianapolis Sanitation Plant.

Water levels in wells 13, 14, and 15, in feet below 

measuring point, 1928-59

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By T. W. Robinson

An agreement for a cooperative investigation of the ground-water

I/ 

resources of Iowa was entered into in 1938 by the Federal Geological

Survey and the Iowa Geological Survey, and work was begun September 1, 

1938. The investigation is conducted under the general supervision of 

0. E. Meinzer, geologist in charge, Division of Ground Water, of the 

Federal Survey, and A. C. Trowbridge, State Geologist and Director of 

the State Survey. The purpose of the investigation is to obtain data 

on past and present pumpage of water from underground sources and to 

correlate and interpret these data with reference to fluctuations of 

water level in wells and with the geologic source of water supplies. 

Geologic phases of the investigation are conducted chiefly by H. G. 

Hershey, of the State Survey; and hydraulic engineering phases, chiefly 

by the writer.

The water supplies of Iowa are obtained mostly from wells. Large 

quantities of water have been and are being pumped in many places, chiefly by municipalities but also by industrial concerns, from many waterbearing formations of different character and geologic age that occur in 

the State. It is planned to study each of the important water-bearing 

formations as a unit and to obtain, so far as possible, records of past 

water levels and estimates of past pumpage, and it is further planned 

to keep the records current. A substantial start has been made on this 

part of the project by securing the cooperation of water superintendents 

of municipalities in furnishing past records of pumpage, in keeping records 

of current pumpage, and in making measurements of water level in wells. 

As a result of earlier work of the Iowa Geological Survey on the geology 

of the State and the collection and interpretation of well logs and well 

cuttings, the formations from which municipal wells derive their water

_!/ The results of a previous cooperative ground-water investigation 

between the Federal Geological Survey and the Iowa Geological Survey were 

published in 1912 as U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 293 and as 

Iowa Geological Survey Report XXI.

113

are known more or less definitely, but current geologic studies of recent 

ground-water developments are contributing further information In regard 

to the geologic sources of ground water.

Another phase of the cooperative investigation involves the periodic 

collection of water-level records in wells unaffected by heavy pumping 

both In shallow wells that penetrate alluvium or glacial drift and in deep 

wells that penetrate older formations. In addition to current water levels 

in these wells, records of past water levels are obtained wherever possible.

With the exception of a small area in the northeast corner of the 

State, known as the "drlftless area," the older consolidated rocks of Iowa 

are covered by glacial drift, which generally contains deposits of sand 

or gravel that yield moderate supplies of water to wells. The consolidated 

rocks of Cambrian, Ordoviclan, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and 

Cretaceous Age likewise generally include one or more water-bearing beds. 

Most of the water In the consolidated rocks and much of the water in the 

drift is under artesian pressure, but usually the pressure is not sufficient 

to cause the wells to flow at the surface. Water is found also in the 

alluvium of the larger streams and In the flood plain of the Mississippi 

and Missouri Rivers.

By the end of 1939, about 160 Individual measurements of water level 

had been made In 32 observation wells In connection with the cooperative 

investigation. This does not Include many pressure-gage readings that 

were made on wells equipped with air lines and pressure gages. The length 

of the air line in such wells is usually unknown, and hence the pressure 

readings cannot be converted Into depths to water level. The pressure 

readings are permanently recorded, however, so that they can be so converted 

when the length of the air line Is ascertained. It is often difficult or 

impossible to obtain measurements of water-level In municipal wells unless 

they are equipped with an air line of known length and a pressure gage, 

either because of the construction of the wells or because they are sealed 

at the top to avoid contamination. Many drilled farm and industrial wells 

are difficult to measure because the casings are small or because the pump 

covers the top of the casing.

Water-level measurements are made once a month in all those wells for 

which local observers are available except the ones equipped with waterlevel recorders. For the three wells on which weekly automatic waterlevel recorders are in operation, measurements are made once a week. For 

the more remote wells, water levels are measured at irregular intervals.
IOWA 115

During 1938 and 1939, six pumping tests were made to determine 

water-yielding capacities of wells and water-bearing formations; and in 

the summer of 1939 an investigation was begun to determine ground-water 

conditions in the Dakota sandstone of northwestern Iowa. The study of 

the Dakota sandstone includes the determination of the position, slope, 

and shape of the piezometric surface; the direction of movement of the 

water; and the probable areas of recharge and discharge. A paper by 

the writer entitled "Artesian water in the Dakota sandstone in northwestern Iowa" was presented at the meeting of the Society of Economic 

Geologists in Minneapolis, Minn., on December 28, 1939.

During the winter and spring of 1939, a study was made of the 

fluctuations of water-level, registered by an automatic water-stage 

recorder, in a well owned by the State University of Iowa at Iowa City. 

The fluctuations,which are approximately semidiurnal in period, were 

correlated with the transit of the moon and were concluded to be "earthtides" produced by the attraction of the moon and sun. /

According to records of the United States Weather Bureau, the precipitation in Iowa in 1939 was only about 80 percent of the average. The 

precipitation in September was only 0.82 inch, which was the least 

recorded for that month in 67 years of record and was 3.02 inches below 

normal. For the period from September to November the precipitation for 

the State was only 36 percent of normal. Water levels in shallow watertable wells in glacial drift, particularly those in the western part of 

the State where the fall drought was most severe, declined to low stages 

as a result of the subnormal precipitation. Water levels in the deep 

wells that tap water in the consolidated rocks were not, however, appreciably affected.

Records for the observation wells are listed alphabetically by county 

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

the measuring points, except the water levels in well 76-6-10 Nl, in 

Johnson County, which are expressed in feet above the measuring point.

TARKIO CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

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

The observation-well program in the Tarkio Creek area i/was continued 

in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil 

Conservation Service. Of 73 wells under observation at the beginning of 

1939, 3 wells (11, 23, and 51) were dropped during the year. Records of 

water level in 7 wells (43a, 44a, 83-87) are included for the first time 

in this report. Wells 1 and 2 were equipped with water-stage recorders 

throughout the year. Water-level measurements in 12 wells (1, 2, 5-7, 

10-12, and 14-17) were used in computing average water levels in 1938 

and 1939, except that well 11 was dropped September 19, 1939. The measurements were made by W. M. Mulnix, of the Geological Survey.

The precipitation was much below normal in the area, during both 1938 

and 1939, and as a result the water levels were at low stages during this 

period. They were lower during the spring of 1938 than at any other time 

on record, but in the 12 wells they had an average net rise of 0.44 foot 

in 1938 as a result of the precipitation during spring and summer.

Water levels in these wells declined an average of 0.36 foot from 

January 1, 1939, to February 15, 1939. They rose 2.09 feet by March 15 

and declined 0.78 foot by June 6, and then rose sharply 1.75 feet by 

July 5. As the precipitation for the last half of 1939 was very low, 

they declined an average of 2.83 feet from July 5 to the end of the year. 

For 1939 their average net decline was 0.13 foot.

12 observation wells, 1959

PINNEY COUNTY 

By B, P. Latta

An observation-well program was started in Plnney County, Kans., in 

September 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Kansas State Geological Survey and the Kansas State Board of Health. The 

investigation is being made under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal 

geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas.

Finney County, in the southwestern part of the State, lies in the 

Great Plains province and is characterized by wide areas of flat to rolling 

surfaces. It is underlain by the Carlile shale and Niobrara chalk of Cretaceous age, the Ogallala formation of Tertiary age, Quaternary dune sand, 

and alluvium.

The Ogallala formation and the alluvium are the most productive waterbearing beds in the county. Most of the domestic and stock wells and many 

irrigation wells obtain water from sands and gravels of this formation. 

Alluvium is the chief source of water in the Arkansas Valley and supplies 

water to many irrigation wells.

In September 1939, 26 wells were selected at strategic points in Finney 

County, and periodic measurements of water levels were started. Well 28 

was added to the program in December. The wells were measured once a month 

by the wetted-tape method. Five of these (13, 15, 17, 18, 25) are shallow 

wells 'in the Arkansas Valley. Well 10 Is in the Arkansas Valley, but It is 

a deep well that taps water in the Ogallala formation. A total of 130 

wetted-tape measurements was made in 1939. All water-level measurements 

prior to November were made by the writer; those during and after November, 

by R. B. Christy.

A continuous automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained on a 

well In Finney County since July 17, 1936, by the Division of Water Resources 

of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. Descriptions and complete waterlevel records of this well have been made available through the courtesy of 

Mr. G. S. Knapp, Chief Engineer, and are included In this report. 

K. D. McCall, assistant engineer of the Division of "Water Resources, has 

serviced the recorder.

Water-level fluctuations

The United States Weather Bureau maintains a rain gage at Garden City, 

in Finney County. In 1939 the total precipitation was 10.45 inches, or 9.77 

inches below normal. The monthly precipitation for the first 3 months of 

the year was above normal; during the remaining months, with the exception 

of December, the monthly precipitation was j much below normal.

Of the 26 wells under observation from September through December, water 

levels in 19 showed net declines ranging from 0.03 foot to 0.92 foot. Water 

levels in 7 wells showed net rises ranging from 0.02 foot to 0.91 foot. 

Water levels in three of the five wells that tap water in alluvium in the 

Arkansas Valley showed net rises ranging from 0.22 foot to 0.91 foot.

The water level in well 1, which taps water in alluvium in the Arkansas 

Valley, showed a net decline of 1.22 feet for the period from January 10 to 

December 31, 1939. The water level in this well rose steadily 0.46 foot 

from January 10 until May 11; from May 11 until September 1 it fluctuated 

erratically due to nearby pumping for irrigation; and from September 1 to 

the end of the year it declined 1.51 feet. During 1939 the water level had 

a maximum range in fluctuation of 2.01 feet. Well 1 reached the highest 

water level observed during its entire period of record 11.12 feet above 

datum August 6, 1937; and its lowest observed water level 8.97 feet above 

datum December 31, 1939. A net decline in water level of 1.38 feet occurred 

during the period from July 17, 1936, to December 31, 1939.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions and water levels for the 

28 wells under observation at the end of the year. The well observed by the 

Division of Water Resources has been designated as well 1. Original field 

numbers are used for the other wells. Water levels in well 1 are expressed 

in feet above an arbitrary datum; those in all other wells are given in 

feet below the measuring point.

146 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

FOBD COUNTY 

By H. A. Waite

The observation-well program in Ford County, Kans., _!/ was continued 

in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas 

State Geological Survey and the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas State 

Board of Health. The investigation in Ford County is being made by the 

writer, under the general supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist 

in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas.

The inventory of the wells in Ford County was completed August 31, 

1939. The altitudes of measuring points of about 370 wells, including 

all observation wells, were established by means of a plane table in 

September, October, and November, the instrumental levels being run by 

D. 0. Branson, Everett Johnson, and C. C. Williams. Ten rotary test holes 

were drilled in the county in November and December by a drilling rig 

purchased with cooperative funds. Additional test holes will be drilled 

in the county in 1940.

At the beginning of 1939, water-level measurements were being made 

in 37 wells. Observations during the year were discontinued on wells 24, 

36, 68, and 100 and were begun on wells 13, 32, 68A, 237, 343, and 359. 

At the end of 1939 the water-level program included 39 observation wells. 

Three automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 4 wells. On 

January 16, 1939, the recorder on well 17 was moved to weJ.1 59, in the 

Arkansas Valley near Howell. After September 5 the recorders on wells 10 

and 25 were moved to Scott County, and the recorder on well 59 was moved 

to Meade County. A total of 468 wetted-tape measurements were made during 

1939. Measurements from January 1 to March 31 were made by P.. H. 

Brockhausen; from April 1 to November 9 by the writer; and from November 10 

to December 31 by R. B. Christy.

Water-level fluctuations

Of the four wells on which water-stage recorders were operated In 

1939, the water levels In three (wells 10, 17, and 59) were affected by 

changes in atmospheric pressure. Wells 17 and 59 penetrate the Ogallala 

formation, and well 10 taps the Dakota sandstone. The fourth well 

(well 25) is shallow and penetrates alluvium; the water level in it 

responds rapidly to recharge from rainfall and is affected by pumping 

from nearby irrigation and industrial wells.

Of 33 wells for which water-level measurements are available for the 

entire year, 5 are on the upland north of the Arkansas Valley, 21 are in 

the Arkansas Valley, and 7 are on the upland south of the valley. The 

water levels in all except 2 of the wells showed net declines ranging 

from 0.11 foot to 1,70 feet from January 3 to December 12-13, 1939. Wells 

10 and 60 had net rises In water level of 0.59 and 0.26 foot, respectively. 

The water levels In 4 of the 5 wells on the upland north of the Arkansas 

Valley declined an average of 0.63 foot. The difference between the 

highest and lowest stages reached during the period of record In the 5 

wells ranged from 0.55 foot to 2.25 feet, but in 3 of them the difference 

was less than 1 foot.

Water levels in 20 of the 21 wells In the Arkansas Valley registered 

an average net decline of 0.68 foot. In this group the difference between 

the highest and lowest levels reached during the period of record ranged 

from 0.46 foot to 4.79 feet, but in most of the wells the difference was 

less than 2 feet. The maximum, difference of 4.79 feet occurred in well 

79B and was due to heavy pumping'nearby. Pour wells in the group (wells 

72, 76, 79B, and 79C) are In the valley between Dodge City and Port Dodge 

and are affected by heavy pumping from nearby Irrigation and industrial 

wells. Water levels In these 4 wells show an average net decline of 1.33 

feet for the period January 3 to December 12-13, 1939.

In the same period, water levels In the seven wells on the uplands 

south of the Arkansas Valley declined an average of 0.29 foot. The 

difference between the highest and lowest water levels observed during 

the period of record In the wells ranged from 0.32 foot to 1.75 feet, and 

In five of the seven wells the difference was less than a foot.

Precipitation at Dodge City In 1939, as reported by the United States 

I/feather Bureau, was 12.98 Inches, of which 8.27 inches were recorded during 

the first half of the year. With precipitation 7.53 Inches below normal,
148 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

1939 was the ninth driest year of record. During the first 3 months of 

the year the precipitation was slightly above average, the greatest excess 

occurring as the result of heavy snowfall near the end of February. From 

April through December the precipitation was below average, the greatest 

deficiencies occurring In April, July, September, and October. Precipitation during July was 2.21 Inches below normal.

Although water levels In most of the wells in the Arkansas Valley 

rose only slightly from January through March, nevertheless those In 19 

of the 21 wells In the valley reached their highest stage on or about 

March 31. In April the water levels In most of the wells began a decline 

that did not end until October or November, at which time the lowest 

stages of the year were recorded. A part of the decline is believed to 

be a result of subnormal precipitation, although water levels In many of 

the wells were affected by pumping also. Water levels In most of these 

wells rose moderately in December.

The water levels in two wells on the uplands north of the Arkansas 

Valley, In the northeastern quarter of the county, declined steadily for 

the entire year. The water level in well 47, in the same part of the 

county, declined for about 10 months but rose moderately from November 

through December. The water level In well 10 rose gradually from March 

until the middle of June; then It declined until the first week In July. 

A subsequent rise carried the water level to Its highest stage on August 19, 

after which It gradually declined during the rest of the year.

Six of the seven wells on the uplands south of the Arkansas Valley 

are pumped for Irrigation, and hence the fluctuation of water levels in 

them during the pumping season may not reflect regional fluctuations of 

ground-water level. Water levels In most of these wells declined until 

about October 1, after which they rose through December. The water level 

In the seventh well (well 26) was unaffected by pumping, fluctuated very 

little from May through October, and showed a slight decline for the year.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions of all wells added to 

the observation-well program In Ford County In 1939, together with records 

of water levels for all wells under observation during the year. Included 

for the first time are altitudes of all measuring points. The water-level 

records are grouped under three headings as follows: (1) Observation wells
KANSAS 149

on the uplands north, of the Arkansas Valley, (2) observation wells in the 

Arkansas Valley, and (3) observation wells on the uplands south of the 

Arkansas Valley. Field numbers of the wells are used.

Attention is called to the following sentence at the bottom of 

page 94, in Water-Supply Paper 845, "Descriptions and measurements within 

each group are listed in order from east to west." This statement is 

incorrect and should be deleted.

158 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

GRAY COUNTY 

By B. P. Latta

In October 1939 an observation-well program was started In Gray County, 

Kans., by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the Kansas 

State Geological Survey and the Kansas State Board of Health. The work was 

done under the direction of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist In charge of 

ground-water Investigations In Kansas.

Gray County Is In the southwestern part of the State and Is a part of 

the Great Plains province. With the exception of an area of sand hills 

south of the Arkansas River, which has a dune topography, the county has 

a flat to rolling surface. It Is underlain by sands, gravels, silts, and 

clays of the Ogallala formation of Tertiary age, by Quaternary dune sand, 

and by alluvium. Most of the wells In the county obtain water from the 

Ogallala formation. The alluvium, however, Is more productive than the 

Ogallala and yields water to many irrigation wells In the Arkansas Valley. 

The dune sand Is unimportant as a water-bearing formation.

At the end of the year 26 wells, of which 6 are In the Arkansas Valley, 

were being measured monthly by the wetted-tape method. A total of 100 

Individual measurements were made from October 5 to December 31, 1939. 

Measurements from October 5 to November 8 were made by the writer; those 

on and after November 8, by R. B, Christy.

In 1939 the precipitation recorded by the United States Weather Bureau 

at Clmarron, Gray County, was 6.91 Inches below normal. Of the 26 observation wells, only well 26 has been under observation for a sufficient period 

to permit a correlation to be made of the fluctuations In water level In It 

with the precipitation. The water level In this well declined 0.36 foot 

from October 11, 1938, to December 14, 1939.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions and water levels for 

the 26 observation wells In Gray County listed numerically according to 

field number. Water levels are given In feet below the measuring point 

at each well.

HAMILTON AfrD KEARNY COUNTIES

By T.'G. McLaughlln

An observation-well program was begun In Hamilton and Kearny Counties, 

Kans., In the fall of 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation 

with the Kansas State GeologicaljSurvey and the Kansas State Board of Health. 

The Investigation was made under!the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal

geologist In charge of ground-water Investigations In Kansas. Ground-water

i/ / 

Investigations were made In this area by Sllchter In 1906 and by Darton

In 1913. Hamilton and Kearny ar^ adjoining crountles In the southwestern 

part of Kansas, and Hamilton Couijity Is bordered on the west by the State 

of Colorado. The surface Is a flat to rolling plain except south of the

Arkansas River, where there Is ar area of sand dunes. The counties are

drained by the Arkansas River, which flows from west to east across the 

middle of the two counties.

162 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The counties are underlain principally by the Ogallala formation of 

Tertiary age and by Quaternary sand dunes. Upper Cretaceous formations, 

Including the Dakota, Graneros, Greenhorn, Carllle, and Nlobrara, crop out 

along the Arkansas River and at Isolated localities both north and south 

of the river. The Dakota sandstone, the Ogallala formation, and the 

alluvium along the Arkansas River supply most of the wells In these 

counties.

Of the 44 wells selected for monthly observation, 21 were In Hamilton 

County and 23 were In Kearny County. During the year, 152 Individual 

measurements of water level were made In the wells. All measurements before 

November 1 were made by the writer} all after November 1, by R. B. Christy.

The precipitation In Hamilton County In 1939 was 8.07 Inches 9.13 

Inches below normal. This was the lowest precipitation of any county In 

Kansas. The precipitation In Kearny County was 8.26 Inches 7.26 Inches 

below normal.

The water levels In 7 of the 10 observation wells along the Arkansas 

Valley declined steadily during the period of observation. On the uplands 

the water levels declined In 18 of 33 wells and rose slightly or remained 

the same In the 15 other wells.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

In the pages that follow are given descriptions and water levels of 

the 44 observation wells. The wells are listed by field numbers. The 

water level In each well Is expressed In feet below the measuring point.

LIMESTONE CREEK AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

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

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

I/ 

Kansas, was continued in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. Water-level measurements were 

being made in 42 wells at the beginning of the year. Wells 58, 59, and 60 

were discontinued during 1939, after they had been damaged by livestock, 

and hence at the end of the year 39 wells were under observation. An automatic water-stage recorder was maintained on well 51 during the first half 

of the year, but the record for the most part was unsatisfactory; therefore 

only the periodic wetted-tape measurements for this well are included. 

About 1,560 wetted-tape measurements were made in 1939. Measurements of 

water level were made about weekly during the first half of the year and 

twice monthly for the remainder of the year. Most of the measurements were 

made by Charles W. Stewart, John H. Diamond, and Orin L. Dawes, and a few 

were made by W. H. Hardin, Edward Smerchek, and Edward A. Baity, all of the 

Soil Conservation Service. Records of the precipitation recorded at 32 

stations in the Limestone Creek area were furnished by the Soil Conservation

Service. _________________________________________________

Several of the wells in the vicinity of the Beeler Pond were damaged 

by livestock during the year and levels were run to reestablish the altitude of measuring points with reference to the bench mark. Included for 

the first time are descriptions of bench marks that were established during 

the year to replace those that had been previously destroyed. The altitudes and descriptions of the bench marks are given in the following table:

Water-level fluctuations

According to records of 32 stations, 30 of which are maintained by the 

Soil Conservation Service, the average precipitation in the Limestone Creek 

area in 1939 was 21.04 inches. Of this, 15r54 inches or about 70 percent 

of the total precipitation, occurred from May through August. The water 

levels in 13 of the 39 wells under observation at the end of the year 

showed net rises from January 4, 1939 to December 80, 1939, ranging from 

0.09 foot to 3.10 feet; the water levels in the remaining 26 wells showed 

net declines for the same period ranging from 0.02 foot to 8.30 feet. The 

greatest net decline in water level, 8.30 feet, occurred in well 8. In

a Altitude does not agree with that of 39.89 feet given in WaterSupply Paper 817, p. 67; it is not known whether the bench mark or the 

measuring point was altered.
168 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

1938, the maximum net rise--16.21 feet occurred in this well in response 

to recharge from heavy precipitation. The decline in water level in the 

well during 1939, therefore, represents a gradual return to normal conditions following the abnormally high stage of the previous year. The 

highest and lowest water levels in 1939 in each of the 38 wells, the dates 

on which they occurred, and the net changes in water level for the period 

from January 4 to December 20, 1939, are given in the following table.

In general, the average of the water levels in the 12 wells fluctuated 

less in 1939 than in any previous year of record. Prom January 4 to June 7, 

1939, the average water level rose 0.18 foot. Precipitation in May was only 

3.02 inches, which was insufficient to cause a rise in average water level, 

but an abrupt rise occurred after June 7 and the water levels reached the 

highest average stage of the year on June 14. Precipitation in June was 

6.23 inches. Only 0.65 inch of rain fell in July, and the water levels 

declined steadily until about August 2. Precipitation in August was 5.64 

inches, and the second highest stage of the year was reached on August 17.

After August 17 the average of the water levels declined steadily to the 

lowest stage of the year on October 11, when it was 0.72 foot lower than 

the highest stage of June 14, and 0.25 foot lower than on January 4. The 

water levels rose an average of 0.32 foot from November 8 to December 20 

and on the latter date averaged 0.13 foot higher than on January 4, 1939, 

and 0.78 foot higher than on January 1, 1935.

174 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

MEADE COUNTY 

By J. C. Frye

An investigation of the ground-water resources of Meade County, Kans., 

was started in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the Kansas State Geological Survey and the Kansas State Board of Health. 

Detailed field work was begun July 5, 1939, by the writer under the direction of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas. In 1939, the depth to water level or artesian pressure 

was measured in about 90 percent of the 326 wells that were visited.

Meade County, situated in southwestern Kansas just north of Beaver 

County, Okla., is at the east edge of the High Plains province. It is 

drained by the Cimarron River, which flows across the southern part of the 

county, and by Crooked Creek and Sand Creek, which are tributaries of the 

Cimarron. Most of Meade County is underlain by Tertiary and Pleistocene 

rocks, but it also has outcrops of Permian rocks in the southeastern part. 

Although most of the wells derive their water from the Tertiary and Pleistocene formations, a few tap water in the Permian rocks, and some penetrate 

Cretaceous formations that are not exposed in the county. Most of the 

domestic and stock supplies and the municipal supplies of Fowler, Meade, 

and Plains are obtained from wells. Only eight wells are pumped for irrigation.

A shallow artesian basin occurs along the valley of Crooked Creek, in 

the northeastern part of the county. Since 1886, when the first flowing 

well was drilled on the farm of B. F. Cox, nearly 1,000 wells have been 

constructed in the basin. Only about 250 of these wells, however, were in 

usable condition in 1939. Inasmuch as many of the wells are allowed to 

flow throughout the year, considerable water has been wasted. The maximum 

artesian head measured in the basin during the present investigation was 

sufficient to raise the water level 17.4 feet above the land surface. The 

greatest depth to water level 220 feet below the land surface was measured 

west of the artesian basin.

At the end of 1939, periodic water-level measurements were being made 

in 28 wells near the edges of the artesian basin, on the high plains, and 

in the dissected southeastern part of the county. The wells were measured 

monthly in 1939 by the wetted-tape method. Measurements prior to November 1 

were made by the writer; those for November and December, by R. B. Christy.
KANSAS 175

A Stevens 8-day automatic water-stage recorder has been maintained on well 

234, at the east side of the artesian basin, since August 31. This recorder 

was serviced by the writer prior to November 1, and since that date by 

Christopher Sobba. A total of 272 individual measurements of water level 

were made from July 5 to the end of the year.

Water-level fluctuations

During the last 6 months of 1939 there was a general decline in water 

levels in the southwestern part of the county; there were only small 

fluctuations in the northern part, and there were irregular fluctuations in 

the eastern part. For the period of record, 15 wells showed net rises in 

water level ranging from 0.04 foot to 3.81 feet, and 13 wells showed net declines ranging from 0.07 foot to 3.85 feet. The maximum fluctuation of water 

level observed from July through December in wells unaffected by pumping was 

6.23 feet, in well 76; the minimum fluctuation was 0.09 foot, in well 61. 

There was an average net decline in water level of 0.07 foot in the 28 wells. 

The decline in water level appears to have resulted partly from a deficiency 

in precipitation and partly from pumpage for irrigation. Precipitation in 

1939 was 8.65 inches below normal.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions and water levels for the 

28 wells under observation at the end of the year. All measurements are 

given in feet below the measuring points. Field numbers of the wells are 

used.

180 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

MORTON COUNTY 

By T. G. McLaughlin

An investigation of the ground -water resources of Morton County, Kans., 

was made in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

Kansas State Geological Survey and the Kansas State Board of Health. The 

work was carried on under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist 

in charge of ground-water Investigations in Kansas.

Morton County, a nearly flat, featureless area in the extreme southwest 

corner of the State, is bordered by Colorado on the west and by Oklahoma on 

the south. It is drained by the Cimarron River and its tributaries. It is 

underlain principally by the Ogallala formation and by dune sand, although 

it has outcrops of Dakota sandstone In several places along the North Fork 

of the Cimarron and of Triassic (?) red beds at Point Rock along the 

Cimarron River. A thin mantle of loess covers the north half of the county. 

Of the wells in Morton County, about two-thirds tap water in the Ogallala 

formation and about one-third tap water in the Dakota sandstone. A few 

wells, however, obtain supplies from the alluvium of the Cimarron River or 

possibly from the red beds in the southwestern part of the county.

Water levels in 113 wells in Morton County were measured at least once 

as a part of the present investigation. Of these wells, 19 were selected 

for periodic observation, and, beginning July 1, the water levels in them 

were measured once each month in 1939. A total of 112 individual measurements of water level were made in the observation wells. Measurements 

prior to November 1 were made by the writer; those after November 1, by 

R. B. Christy.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

Descriptions and water levels for the 19 observation ^wells are given 

on the following pages. The wells are listed by townships from north to 

south and by ranges from east to west. Within a township the wells are 

listed by section number. Publication numbers of the wells are used. The 

water level in each well is expressed in feet below the measuring point.

184 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

SCOTT COUNTY 

By H. A. Waite

A cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of Scott 

County was started in September 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey, the 

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

State Board of Health. A preliminary investigation of the ground-water 

resources of the shallow-water basin in Scott and Finney Counties was made

!/

by Moss in the summer of 1933. In May 1934 a reconnaissance of the Scott 

County shallow-water basin was made by the writer in connection with an

investigation of the ground-water conditions in the southern part of the

£/ 

High Plains. The water levels were measured in about 12 irrigation

wells in the pumping district. Three of these wells are included in the 

present water-level observation program. Additional studies were made in 

the Scott County shallow-water basin in November 1936 by W. R. Stanley, 

under the direction of H. P. Burleigh, for the Resettlement Administration. 

In the fall of 1939 an observation-well program in Scott County was started 

by the writer under the direction of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist in 

charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas. It is planned to complete 

a detailed ground-water investigation in Scott County during the field 

season of 1940,

At the start of the present investigation, 29 wells were selected at 

strategic points in the county for periodic water-level observation. Two 

of these wells, 32 and 33, were equipped with Stevens 8-day automatic waterstage recorders. A total of 147 wetted-tape measurements was made in 1939. 

All water-level measurements until November were made by the writer; all 

measurements thereafter, by R. B. Christy. The two recorders maintained 

by the Geological Survey were serviced each week by J. R. Haverfield.

Continuous automatic water-stage recorders have been maintained on 

two wells in Scott County for several years by the Division of Water 

Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. Descriptions and complete water-level records of both wells have been made available through 

the courtesy of Mr. G, S. Knapp, Chief Engineer, and are included in this 

report. Well 1 has been observed continously since October 23, 1931, and 

well 2 has been observed continuously since April 18, 1934. These two 

recorders are being serviced by K. D. McCall, assistant engineer of the

Division of Water Resources.______________________________________

KANSAS 185

The Ogallala formation, which supplies nearly all the wells In Scott 

County, is the chief source of water In the shallow-water basin. The 

shallow-water basin derives Its name from the fact that there Is no surface drainage from the area and from the fact that water is obtained at 

depths ranging from 20 to 90 feet, In contrast to surrounding areas In 

which water stands from 90 to 150 feet below the surface. The development 

and use of ground water for supplemental Irrigation In the shallow-water 

basin began about 1910. Probably the greatest development took place as 

a result of prolonged droughts during the last decade. At the end of 1936 

there were about 40 Irrigation wells In operation In the area, whereas at 

the end of 1938 there were more than 60. Additional Irrigation wells were 

drilled during 1939. The yields of irrigation wells In the shallow-water 

basin range from about 500 to 2,000 gallons a minute.

The following table Is based on records of the Division of Water 

Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and shows the Increase 

In Irrigated acreage during the last 9 years.

Water-level fluctuations

The following discussion Is based largely upon the water-level records 

of wells 1 and 2, furnished by the Division of Water Resources, since they 

extend over a period of several years. The water-level records of the 

observation wells established In 1939 cover only the period from September 

through December. Wells I and 2 are both within the pumping district, the 

former near the southwestern margin and the latter about 1 mile south of 

Scott City, near the middle of the pumping area. The water levels in both 

wells are affected by pumping In nearby wells, the greatest effect being 

recorded In well 2.

The United States Weather Bureau maintains a rain gage at Scott City, 

in the middle of Scott County. In 1939 the total precipitation was 14.63 

Inches, or 5.22 Inches below normal. The greatest deficiencies occurred 

during July, September, and October. Of the total annual precipitation, 

9.17 Inches fell during the first half of the year. Subnormal precipitation during 1939 was doubtless responsible for the heavy pumping for 

Irrigation.
186 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The water levels In wells 1 and 2 showed net declines of 0.79 foot and 

2.07 feet, respectively, for the period from January 1 to December 31, 1939. 

The water level In well 1 rose 0.38 foot from January 1 until May 6, after 

which it declined steadily until December 31, with a maximum range In fluctuation during 1939 of 1.17 feet. The water level In well 2 rose 0.49 foot 

from January 1 until April 25, after which It declined steadily until 

December 15. The maximum fluctuation In well 2 during 1939 was 2.61 feet. 

In well 1, the highest observed water level during Its entire period of 

record 14.12 feet above datum occurred May 14 and 16, 1934; and Its 

lowest observed water level 10,41 feet above datum occurred December 30 

and 31, 1939. Well 2 reached the highest observed water level during its 

entire period of record--13.85 feet above datum April 25, 1939; and Its 

lowest observed water level--11.24 feet above datum December 15-23, 1939. 

A net decline In water level of 3.28 feet In well 1 occurred during the 

period from October 23, 1931, to December 31, 1939; a net decline of 2.06 

feet In well 2 was recorded for the period from April 18, 1934, to December 

31, 1939.

In general, the water levels In the 29 wells selected In 1939 for 

periodic observation were declining during the period from September through 

December. During the period of observation, the water levels In 22 wells 

of this group showed net declines ranging from 0.01 foot to 3.94 feet; water 

levels in the 7 other wells showed net rises ranging from 0.01 foot to 1.06 

feet. Out of 18 wells In the pumping district, the water levels In 12 

showed net declines ranging from 0.19 foot to 3.94 feet.

Wells 32 and 33, equipped with automatic water-stage recorders, are 

within the pumping district; water levels In them are affected by pumping 

in nearby Irrigation wells and by changes In barometric pressure.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions and water levels of the 

31 wells under observation at the end of 1939. The older of the two 

recorder wells observed by the Division of Water Resources has been designated as well 1; the other as well 2. For the remainder of the wells, 

original field numbers are used.

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

of Health, and with the city of Wichita.

Field work In the "Equus beds" area was resumed in June 1939. J. C. 

Frye, B. F. Latta, and C. C. Williams spent several weeks running tee^rometric 

levels. With a rotary drilling machine purchased from cooperative funds, 43 

test holes were drilled In the area by a crew comprising Bills Gordon,

Perry McNally, and Pred Holden. The city of Wichita drilled and tested 25 

permanent municipal wells and 50 observation wells in southern Harvey County 

and drilled about 20 observation wells near the Burrton oil field.

At the beginning of 1939, a total of 55 wells were under observation, 

including 34 wells observed monthly (erroneously given as 33 in Water-Supply 

Paper 845, p. 116), 13 wells and one lake observed weekly, and 7 wells 

equipped with recorders. During the year the staff gage at Lake Inman (No. 

511, McPherson County) was discontinued, and 7 wells were discontinued as 

observation wells, as follows: Wells 105, 156, and 737, Harvey County; and 

wells 27, 54, 183, and 232, Sedgwick County. The recorder on well 19, 

McPherson County, was moved to well 877, Harvey County, and the recorder 

on well 309, McPherson County, was removed. Periodic water-level measurements were begun in 36 new observation wells as follows: Wells 821, 831, 

832, 833, 852, 872, 873, 874, 875, 876, 877, 878, 879, 880, 881, 883, 884, 

885, 886, 887, 888, 889, 890, 891, 892, 893, 894, 895, 899, and 1,112, in 

Harvey County; and wells 802, 826, 842, 845, 846, and 847, in Sedgwick 

County. At the end of the year a total of 83 wells were under observation, 

including 6 wells observed quarterly, 38 wells observed monthly, 33 wells 

observed weekly, and 6 wells equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. 

A total of about 4,087 wetted-tape measurements were made in 1939, 2,137 of 

which are included in the present report. Mr. G. H. von Hein, who made all 

the periodic water-level measurements and took care of the recorders, was 

employed by the Federal Geological Survey during the first quarter of the 

year and by the city of Wichita during the last three-quarters of the year. 

Most of the 36 new wells added to the program in 1939 are test wells that 

were drilled in the winter of 1938-39, but a few are privately-owned wells 

located and described by Mr. von Hein. In addition to the 83 wells under 

observation at the close of the year, 75 municipal wells were observed 

weekly by Mr. von Hein during the last half of the year. The descriptions 

and water levels of these 75 wells are not included in the present report, 

but they may be included in the report for 1940. 

Water-level fluctuations

Water levels in four of the six wells equipped with recorders (wells 

12, 294, 307, and 506) show decided barometric effects. Well 26, in 

Sedgwick County, is near the middle of the old well field of the Wichita 

Water Company; hence the water-level fluctuations in this well are mainly 

the result of intermittent pumping from four or five wells nearby.
200 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The United States Weather Bureau maintains rain gages at Wichita, 

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

McPherson County. In 1939 the average annual rainfall deficiency for the 

four stations amounted to 3.12 inches, and the deficiency at each of the 

four stations was: 1.46 inches at Wichita, 4.24 inches at Sedgwick, 2.98 

inches at Newton, and 3.79 inches at McPherson.

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

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

year and which were not appreciably affected by pumping during the year. 

During the year the water levels in 36 of the 43 wells showed net declines 

ranging from 0,05 foot to 2.50 feet, and the average net decline was 0.80 

foot. In 7 of the wells, however, the water levels showed net rises ranging 

from 0.08 foot to 1.41 feet, and the average net rise in the 7 wells was 

0.42 foot. The greatest net decline in water level 2.50 feet occurred 

in well 824, Harvey County; and the greatest net rise 1.43 feet occurred 

in well 310, McPherson County. Although well 310, a deep well in shale, 

showed the greatest net rise in water level during the year, well 311, a 

shallow well in sand just a few feet from well 310, showed next to the 

greatest net decline in water level--2.41 feet during the same period. 

Apparently, well 310 was receiving recharge at the close of the year from 

precipitation that fell much earlier, probably in August; whereas well 311 

was affected by the drought during the last 4 months of the year. The 

highest and lowest water level in each of the 43 wells, the dates upon which 

they occurred, and the net changes in water level during the year are given 

by counties in the following tables.

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

beginning of the year. During the period from January through May the 

precipitation generally was Insufficient to produce much recharge, and the 

water levels in most wells continued to decline. In some wells the water 

levels reached the lowest stages of the year ^arly in June. In June an 

average of 8.22 inches of rain was recorded at the four stations_, which 

was 3.76 inches above normal, and the water levels in most of the wells 

rose appreciably. In July, however, the precipitation was again below 

normal and most of the water levels declined. In August the average precipitation at the four stations was 2.96 inches above normal, and the water 

levels In most wells reached the highest stages of the year. As widespread 

drought conditions prevailed during the remaining 4 months of the year, 

water levels In most wells declined sharply and reached the lowest stages 

of the year in December.

STANTON COUNTY 

By B. F. Latta

An investigation of the ground-water resources of Stanton County, 

Kans., was made during the summer of 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Kansas State Geological Survey and the Kansas State 

Board of Health. The work was carried on under the supervision of S. W. 

Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in 

Kansas. It is the first investigation of the ground-water resources of 

the area since the early survey by Darton, which included the northern 

part of the county.

Stanton County, a sparsely populated county in southwestern Kansas, 

borders on Colorado. It is a part of the Great Plains province and has a 

flat to rolling surface. With the exception of two small areas in the 

southwestern part, where the Dakota group is exposed, the county is underlain by sands, gravels, silts, and clays of the Ogallala formation. About 

one-fourth of the wells in the county obtain water from the Dakota sandstone; the remainder, including the five irrigation wells, tap water in 

the Ogallala formation. Three of these five irrigation wells were drilled 

late in 1939.

The water levels in 111 wells were measured at least once during the 

investigation, and the water levels in 17 other wells were measured 

regularly about once a month. From July 19 to December 31, 1939, 101 

measurements of water level were made in these 17 observation wells. 

Measurements prior to November 15 were made by the writer; those on and 

after November 15, by R. B. Christy.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

On the following pages are given descriptions and water levels for 

the 17 observation wells in Stanton County. Descriptions and measurements 

are listed in order by townships from north to south and by ranges from 

east to west. Within a township they are listed according to section 

number. Water levels are given in feet below the measuring points.

Introduction

The program of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Louisiana, conducted in connection with the cooperative ground-water 

investigations by the Federal Geological Survey and the Louisiana Department of Conservation, was expanded in 1939 to include observation wells in 

Alien, Evangeline, La Salle, St. Tammany, and Tangipahoa Parishes. At the 

end of the year observations were being made periodically on 116 wells in 

10 parishes (see fig. 3); whereas observations at the end of 1938 were 

being made on only 90 wells in 5 parishes. Measurements were made weekly 

in 9 wells near Alexandria, in Rapides Parish, and biweekly in 13 other 

wells in Grant, La Salle, and Rapides Parishes. Water-stage recorders were 

operated on 5 observation wells in Rapides Parish, on 2 in Jefferson Davis 

Parish, on 1 in Acadia Parish, and on 1 in Alien Parish. The other observation wells in the State were measured from one to seven times in 1939. 

Approximately 1,224 individual measurements of water level were made in 

the observation wells during 1939.

During the past year areal ground-water investigations were completed 

in Rapides, Grant, and La Salle Parishes, and a report on the water 

resources of Rapides Parish was sent to press in December to be published 

as a State bulletin. Detailed field work was continued, however, in Rapides 

Parish in connection with the municipal water supply for Alexandria. Two

brief reports, one concerning the general ground-water program in the

2/ 

State and the other dealing with the occurrence of fluoride in the ground

3/ 

water of Avoyelles and Rapides Parishes, were published during the year.

Central Louisiana

The water-level observation program in central Louisiana was extended 

from Grant Parish into La Salle Parish in the summer of 1939. The groundwater supplies of La Salle Parish are drawn from sands of four ages: 

Eocene (Cockfield formation), Miocene (Catahoula formation), Pliocene ?,

and Pleistocene. Wells tapping these sands are chiefly drilled or bored, 

and they range from about 15 feet to 600 feet In depth and from 1-g to 10 

Inches In diameter. Most of the wells, however, are less than 150 feet 

deep and obtain soft water from the Pliocene ? sands that mantle the highlands. A total of 111 measurements were made In 1939 In 3 wells In La Salle 

Parish and In 11 wells In Grant Parish. Insufficient measurements were made 

In Grant Parish during 1938 to permit comparison with water levels In 1939.

In Rapldes Parish, water levels In the "1,000-foot" sand, which 

supplies most of the water used In Alexandria and vicinity, continued the 

general decline observed In 1938, although they staged a small recovery In 

the early part of 1939 (see fig. 4). At the end of the year, water levels 

In wells 1, 5, 26, and 35, all of which are within the Alexandria city 

limits, were 5 to 11 feet lower than at the end of 1938. The annual pumpage 

for the city waterworks increased only about 10,100,000 gallons from about 

1,119,500,000 gallons In 1938 to about 1,129,600,000 gallons in 1939.

The rainfall recorded at the station of the U. S. Weather Bureau In 

Alexandria was 49.80 Inches in 1939, In contrast to 66.28 inches In 1938. 

The following table gives data on the decline in water levels:

Southwestern Louisiana

In 1939, a total of 431 Individual measurements of water level were 

made In 45 key wells In the rice-lrrlgatlon district of southwestern 

Louisiana. Three of the key wells are In southern Alien and Evangellne 

Parishes; the remainder are In Jefferson Davls and Acadla Parishes, where 

the pumpage Is greatest. The Irrigation wells of the district yield large 

quantities of hard water under artesian pressure from thick sands and 

gravels of Pleistocene age encountered at depths from 150 to 500 feet. 

Figure 5 Is a graph of the fluctuations of water level In 1939 In three 

wells equipped with water-stage recorders. Well Al-1, In the southern part 

of Alien Parish, shows the least effect of the heavy summer pumping for Irrigation because It Is near the north edge of the principal rice-farming area.
232 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

Southeastern Louisiana

Sands and gravels at depths of 50 to 2,000 feet supply large quantities of soft water to wells in southeastern Louisiana. Most of the wells 

penetrating the deeper sands and gravels flow at the surface and have closedin pressures of 5 to 40 pounds to the square inch. A few shallow wells Just 

north of Lake Ponchartrain also flow and have closed-in pressures of about 

5 pounds to the square inch. Shallow flowing wells furnish water for irrigating the many truck farms in the area south of Hammond, which is known as 

the "strawberry belt." Twenty-one observation wells were established in 

Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parishes in 1939.

Well descriptions and water-level measurements

Records of water levels measured in the 116 observation wells during 

1939 are given on the following pages. Complete descriptions are included 

only for those wells whose descriptions are not given in Water-Supply Paper 

845. All water levels are expressed with reference to the measuring point. 

The measuring point for most of the irrigation wells in the rice-farming 

area is the bottom edge of the discharge pipe, which extends obliquely 

upward from the vertical well casing. A bench mark at or near the land 

surface has been established on each well, and the distance measured along 

the discharge pipe between the measuring point and the bench mark is 

recorded in the table of wells. The position of the water level below the 

bench mark can be computed merely by subtracting from the water-level measurement the recorded distance between the measuring point and the level of 

the bench mark.

MARYLAND

By A. H. Horton

Periodic measurements of water levels have been made since April 18, 

1932, In one observation well In Maryland by the Federal Geological Survey 

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

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

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

station of the Northwest Branch of the Anacostla River, 1-| miles southwest 

of Colesvllle, Montgomery County. A continuous water-stage recorder was 

maintained on this well during 1939. Water levels are given In feet above 

the same datum to which Is referred the gage on the Northwest Branch of 

the Anacostla River.

MASSACHUSETTS

By M. L. Brashears, Jr.

In 1938 a study of the ground-water resources of Massachusetts was 

started by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. Work was begun In the Lowell and Aberjona 

River Valley areas, where considerable quantities of ground water are withdrawn, and also In Wlnchendon and Leomlnster, where ground-water levels are 

not affected by pumping. An Inventory of wells was started In the Lowell 

area In October 1938. Observations of water levels In wells were first 

made In the Lowell area during May 1939; In the Aberjona River Valley during 

August 1939; and at Leomlnster and Wlnchendon during July 1939.

Most of the observation wells penetrate unconsolldated glacial material, 

which ranges In composition from stratified sand and gravel to more or less 

unstratlfled sandy clay. A few of the observation wells probably penetrate 

bedrock for a few feet or end at the contact of the bedrock with glacial 

deposits. It appears probable that well Lowell 22 penetrates bedrock to a 

considerable depth.

To the present time, an Inventory of wells has been completed In 12 

townships and partly completed In 10 townships In the Lowell area. Weekly 

water-level measurements were made In 10 wells In the Lowell area and In 8 

wells In the Aberjona River Valley area during the last half of 1939. During 

the same period, three automatic water-stage recorders were operated continuously at Lowell, Leominster, and Wlnchehdon. About 450 Individual measurements of water level were made In 1939.

At the end of 1939, water levels In 5 of the 8 wells In the Aberjona 

River Valley and In 6 of the 11 wells In the Lowell area showed a net rise 

during the period of record, which began In the summer of 1939. The water 

level In the well at Wlnchendon showed a net decline and In the well at 

Leomlnster a net rise during the period of record from the summer to the . 

end of 1939. During the same period the lowest water level measured 

occurred during October or November In 6 of the 8 wells In the Aberjona 

Valley, In 9 of 'the 11 wells In the Lowell area, and In the wells at 

Leomlnster and Wlnchendon. In general, the rainfall In the vicinity of the 

observation wells was below normal during the period of water-level measurements in 1939. Water levels in all the observation wells in the Lowell and 

Aberjona River Valley areas are probably affected by withdrawals close by, 

whereas water levels in the wells at Leomlnster and Wlnchendon are probably

not so affected,

MICHIGAN

By C. L. McGuinness, 0. P. Polndexter, and Norman Billings

The cooperative program of water-level measurements In observation 

wells In Michigan, 'begun In 1932 by the Geological Survey Division of the 

Michigan Department of Conservation and by the Federal Geological Survey, 

was continued In 1939. Areas with observation wells are shown In an 

accompanying figure. At the end of the year, monthly or semimonthly 

measurements of water level were being made In 78 wells In forested areas 

In the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. Regular measurements In all 

observation wells In Charlevolx County were discontinued at the end of 

1938, but measurements In 6 wells In the county were made once In 1939, 

A total of about 1,700 Individual measurements of water level were made 

during the year, mostly by members of the Michigan State Civilian Conservation Corps. A, W. Befgquist was In direct charge of the observationwell program until June 1939; Norman Billings, senior engineering aide, 

Michigan State Civilian Conservation Corps, during the rest of the year.

The float-type water-stage recorder that was Installed In November 

1934 on a well at the Forest Fire Experiment Station in Roscommon waa in 

operation throughout the year. Weekly water levels In this well In 1939 

are given in this report, and fluctuations In its water level during the 

period of record are shown In an accompanying figure.

In the Roscommon well there was a fairly steady decline in water level 

from 7.62 feet below the measuring point on September 23, 1938, to 7.95 

feet on January 9, 1939. Between January 9 and January 15 the water level 

rose about 0.25 foot, possibly as the result of recharge from a brief thaw. 

It then declined to 8.02 feet below the measuring point on March 23, the 

lowest stage reached during 1939, but on March 23 It began to rise, apparently as the result of recharge from melting snow, and by March 26 It had 

reached a stage 6.99 feet below the measuring point. A slight decline 

followed this rise; then on April 15 the water level began to rise again 

so that on May 10 and 11 It reached the highest stage of the year 6.69 

feet below the measuring point. A decline to 7.00 feet below the measuring point followed on June 19, when apparently as the result of rains the 

water level rose to 6.76 feet on June 22. It then declined until August 8,

when, again apparently as the result of rains, it rose from 7.61 feet below 

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845.

the measuring point to about 7.50 feet. It then declined slowly, with 

minor fluctuations, until the end of the year and on December 30 was 7.89 

feet below the measuring point. The range in fluctuation during 1939 was 

1.33 feet, the smallest annual range on record.

During the fall of 1939 the program of water-level observations in 

wells was expanded to include measurements of water levels and collection 

of records of pumpage in a few of the larger cities in the southern part 

of the State that use ground water for public supply, including Lansing 

in Ingham County, Kalamazoo in Kalamazoo County, Pontiac in Oakland County, 

Battle Creek in Calhoun County, Jackson in Jackson County, and Three Rivers 

in St. Joseph County. The water departments of Lansing, Kalamazoo, and 

Pontiac have made water-level measurements in selected wells for several 

years. The fluctuations of water level in some of these wells are shown 

graphically in the accompanying three figures. Descriptions of the observation wells and of the measurements made in 1939 in all six cities are given 

in this report. Measurements made in observation wells in Lansing from 

December 1929 until the end of 1939 are included, but records prior to 

January 4, 1939, in Pontiac and prior to July 30, 1939, in Kalamazoo are 

given only in the accompanying figures.

Except in the aforementioned six cities in southern Michigan, descriptions of most of the wells for which records are given in the following pages 

are contained on pages 125 to 182 of Water-Supply Paper 840. Descriptions 

of wells not included in Water-Supply Papers 840 or 845 are given in this 

report.

270 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

Ingham County

Observation wells 1 to 8 inclusive are a part of the public watersupply system of Lanslng, operated by the Board of Water and Electric 

Light Commissioners, Lansing. All wells penetrate bedrock. Water-level 

measurements are made by members of the Mechanical Engineering Department, 

Board of Water and Electric Light Commissioners, Lansing. Measurements 

are generally made when all wells in the particular field or at the 

particular station have been shut off at least one day, but water levels 

may be affected by pumping from distant wells. Measurements are made 

with an accuracy of one-half inch, and are converted into decimal figures.

Ingham 1. Well 2 at Cedar Street pumping station, near southeast 

corner Cedar Street and Michigan Avenue. Drilled well, diameter 12|f 

Inches, depth 446 feet. Measuring point, top of cap on casing, 0.7 foot 

above land surface and 846.76 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 2. Well 9 at Cedar Street pumping station, near northeast 

corner Cedar and Kalamazoo Streets. Drilled well, diameter 12 inches, 

depth 423 feet. Measuring point, top of cap on casing, 2.8 feet below 

land surface and 845.65 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 3. Well 5 in Pennsylvania Avenue well field, at northwest 

corner Pennsylvania Avenue and Grand Trunk Railroad. Drilled well, diameter 

12 Inches, depth 338 feet. Measuring point, top of cap on casing, 1.3 feet 

above land surface and 824.09 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 4. Well 9 In Pennsylvania Avenue well field, about 500 feet 

east of Pennsylvania Avenue and just north of Grand Trunk Railroad. Drilled 

well, diameter 6 inches, depth 218 feet. Measuring point, top of cap on 

casing, 0.8 foot above land surface and 830.43 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 5. Well 7 In Riverside well field, just north of Cedar River 

on approximate line of Mifflin Avenue. Drilled well, diameter 12-.inches, 

depth 457 feet. Measuring point, top of cap on casing, 1.8 feet above land 

surface and 826.66 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 6. Logan well, at Logan Street pumping station, Lapeer and 

Logan Streets. Drilled well, diameter 20 inches, depth 424 feet. Measuring point, top of coupling on casing, 4.7 feet below floor of pumping 

station and 853.28 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 7. Seymour well, at Seymour Avenue pumping station, on north 

side Josephine Street about 500 foet east of Seymour (Grand River) Avenue. 

Drilled well, diameter 14 inches, depth 395 feet. Measuring point, edge 

of hole in base of pump, 817.72 feet above mean sea level.

Ingham 8. Townsend well, at Townsend Street pumping station, on east 

side Townsend Street opposite Olds Street. Drilled well, diameter 14 

Inches, depth 423 feet. Measuring point, hole in base of pump, 826.53 feet 

above mean sea level.

The accompanying figure shows fluctuations of water levels In wells 

4 and 8 from 1930 through 1939. The fluctuations shown are due mostly to 

the effects of pumping from other city wells. The effects of precipitation 

are not Immediately apparent in the fluctuations.

The earliest available records of water levels in the observation wells 

are given below. For the Cedar Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Riverside 

fields the numbers of the wells in which water levels were measured are not 

known. The Seymour and Townsend wells for which water levels In 1919 are 

given were replaced In 1930 by the present wells, but the new wells were 

drilled near the old wells. The present Logan well is apparently the same 

well In which the 1929 measurement was made.

The sharp decline in water level in well 4 during the latter part of

1935 probably resulted from the placing in service of several city wells

situated north of the Pennsylvania Avenue well field (P.M. wells 6-13 and

P.A. wells 20 and 21). The water level in well 8 does not show as large

a decline during the period of record as does the water level in well 4.

It is probable that the fluctuations of water level in well 8 more nearly

represent the general trend than do the fluctuations in well 4.

of 2-lnch pipe, approximately level with pump house floor and 764.51 feet 

above mean sea level.

Kalamazoo 2. City of Kalamazoo. Well C of city waterworks, about 

1,100 feet southwest of central pumping station. Drilled public supply 

well, diameter 40 Inches, depth 137 feet. Penetrates unconsolidated 

deposits. Measurements made in 2-lnch pipe just outside well casing. 

Measuring point, top of 2-lnch pipe, approximately level with pump house 

floor and 764.97 feet above mean sea level.

Kalamazoo 3. City of Kalamazoo. At Belch Street pumping station of 

city waterworks, between supply wells 1 and 2. Drilled test well, diameter 

2 inches, depth 30 feet. Penetrates unconsolldated deposits. Measuring 

point, top of 2-lnch casing, approximately level with land surface and 

766.78 feet above mean sea level.

Wells 1 to 3 Inclusive are situated at approximately equal Intervals 

on a line extending southwest from well 1 to well 3. Measurements are 

made by Ployd Rothwell, chief operator, pumping station, Leo Witters, 

superintendent. Measurements are generally made on Sunday, after all 

city wells have been shut down at least six or eight hours. Water-level 

fluctuations In the wells from the beginning of record through 1939 are 

shown In the accompanying figure.

The water level In well 3 reached Its lowest stage for the period of 

record in August 1931. This low stage was probably the result of droughts 

In 1930 and 1931, together with heavy pumpage from city wells. The pumpage 

In July 1931 was the greatest for the period of record. Although the water 

level rose about 8 feet from August 1931 to May 1932, a daficiency In precipitation during the spring of 1932 probably decreased ground-water 

recharge and thus prevented the water level from reaching a still, higher 

stage. The water level did not decline as low during the summer of 1932 

as In 1931, possibly because the summer pumpage in 1932 was less than In 

1931, although the total annual pumpage was about the same during the two 

years and was nearly the same as the average for the period from 1931 to 

1939. The annual pumpage during 1933, 1934, and 1935 was below the average, 

and during 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939 It was above the average. In the 

spring of 1933 the precipitation was somewhat above normal and, although 

water-level records are not available for most of 1933, It Is possible 

that stages higher than any observed during the period of record were 

reached during that year. The pumpage during the winter of 1933-34 was 

the lowest for the period of record and, although precipitation was somewhat deficient during the spring of 1934, the water levels reached stages 

as high as at any time during the period of record. Pumpage was moderately 

heavy during the summer of 1934, due probably to the drought, and water

levels declined rather rapidly from the high stages reached during the 

spring. The water levels recovered to moderately high stages during the 

spring of 1935 and, probably because the pumpage during 1935 was the 

lowest during the period of record, did not fluctuate greatly during the 

year. Precipitation was about normal in 1955. In the spring of 1936 

rainfall was deficient and the water levels did not recover greatly from 

the low stages reached in the latter part of 1935. Due to drought and 

increased pumping during the summer of 1956 the water levels declined 

to the lowest stages since 1951. The stages reached in 1956 were also 

lower than any reached since that year. In 1937 precipitation was about 

normal and, although the total annual pumpage was slightly greater than 

the average for the period of record, the water levels did not decline 

greatly during the year, and in well 5 the water level showed an irregular 

upward trend during most of the year. Stages about as high as those 

recorded in 1954 and 1955 were reached during the spring of 1958, but the 

pumpage during August was nearly as great as in August 1951, and the water 

levels reached slightly lower stages than in 1937. Possibly because the 

pumpage during the winter of 1938-39 was higher than the average, the 

water levels did not reach stages as high during the spring of 1939 as 

during the spring of 1958. The rate of pumping waa maintained at a fairly 

high level during the summer of 1959 and the water levels declined to 

stages that were in general slightly lower than in 1958. At the end of 

the year the water levels were about 1 foot lower than at the end of 1958.

Measuring point, top of sheet-iron cap welded to top of 8-inch casing, 

2.75 feet above land surface and 924.65 feet above mean sea level.

Oakland 2. City of Pontiac. Well 21 in Walnut Street well group, 

about 40 feet northwest of supply well 3. Unused drilled public supply 

well, diameter 8 inches, depth unknown, but presumably penetrates some 

unconsolidated water-bearing beds as does supply well 5, which is 256 

feet deep. Measuring point, top of 2-inch pipe, 1.17 feet above top of 

cap on 8-inch casing, 5.75 feet above land surface and 952.25 feet above 

mean sea level.

Oakland 5. City of Pontiac. Just outside pump house of East Boulevard 

supply well, near intersection of East Boulevard and Mt. Clemens Street. 

Drilled test well, diameter 2 inches, depth approximately 176 feet. Measuring point, top of 2-inch casing, 0.6 foot below land surface and 882.62 

feet above mean sea level.

Water levels in wells 1 to 3 inclusive are affected by pumping from 

nearby supply wells. Measurements made by members of the Department of 

Water Supply, Pontiac, H. L. Monroe, superintendent, H. W. MacDuff, chief 

engineer. Water-level fluctuations in the wells from the beginning of 

record through 1938 are shown in the accompanying figure.

In 1929 the precipitation was above normal, including an excess in 

the spring when conditions for ground-water recharge are generally most 

favorable, and in May 1929 the water level in well 1 reached the highest 

stage during the period of record, although the total pumpage from city 

wells during May was greater than in any one month of any succeeding year, 

and the total pumpage during 1929 was more than 50 percent greater than the 

average yearly pumpage during the period 1929-1939. Water-level records 

are not available for 1930. In 1931 the pumpage was less than in 1930, 

but as the deficient spring precipitation in 1950 and 1951 probably 

resulted in greatly decreased ground-water recharge in those years, the 

highest stage of the water level in wel,! 1 in 1951 was about 10 feet 

lower than the highest stage in 1929, and the water level in the summer 

reached a stage as low as that recorded at any time during the period of 

record. The pumpage in 1952 was the lowest for the period of record, and 

the water levels in wells 1 to 3 inclusive showed some recovery during 

the latter part of the year. In well 3 the water level reached a stage 

about 15 feet higher than in the spring of 1951, possibly as a result of 

both decreased pumpage and abnormal precipitation during the spring of 

1935. In 1934 a deficiency in spring precipitation and an Increase in 

pumpage over that of 1932 and 1935 resulted in the water levels reaching 

lower stages than in 1933. In 1935 the pumpage was higher than in 1934, 

but it was more evenly distributed throughout the year and water levels 

did not fluctuate greatly. Precipitation was about normal in 1955. In 

1956 another drought, together with an increase in pumpage, caused a 

decline in water levels to stages that were lower than at any time since 

1931. In 1937 precipitation was about normal, but a considerable increase 

In pumpage caused still lower stages to be reached during the summer and 

fall. In 1938 precipitation was again about normal, and pumpage decreased 

considerably, resulting In a rise In water levels during the spring to 

stages 15 feet or more higher than the low stages of 1937. In 1939, 

although precipitation was about normal, the water levels did not rise 

as high during the spring as in 1958 and they declined to somewhat lower 

stages in the fall, possibly as a result of increased pfvmpage during the 

year.

MISSISSIPPI

By G. P. Brown and V. M. Poster

The State-wide investigation of water levels in wells begun in 1938 

by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Mississippi 

Geological Survey was continued during 1939. Most of the measurements 

were made in wells in counties near the Gulf Coast and in the Mississippi 

alluvial plain in northwestern Mississippi, but a few were made in wells 

in the loess hills and in the north-central hills east of the alluvial 

plain.

The observation-well program at the end of 1939 included 25 wells, 

on 6 of which water-level recorders were operated. Of the water-level 

recorders in operation at the end of the year, four are of the pressure 

type and two are of the float type.

A progress report describing general ground-water conditions in the 

alluvial plain and on the Gulf Coast was submitted to the State Planning 

Commission, Jackson, Miss., and to the State Geologist, Oxford, Miss.

The water levels in wells at Belzoni, in the south-central part of 

the alluvial plain, fell 1.8 feet from May to October, when the lowest 

stages of the year were recorded. Water levels recovered 0.6 foot from 

October to the end of December. The fluctuations of water levels in wells 

at Marks, in the northern part of the alluvial plain, were similar to those 

at Belzoni, except that the lowest levels were recorded in November. The 

water level in well LePlore 134, at Greenwood, declined 9.24 feet from 

June 5 to September 10. During this period 1,100 gallons a minute was 

pumped nearly continuously from a well that is 0.6 mile southwest of the 

observation well and that penetrates the same kind of sand as that which 

surrounds the observation well. Prom September 10 to the end of the year 

the pump on the well close by was not operated, and the water level rose 

approximately to its level in June. The lowest water levels in wells at 

Gulfport were recorded in September.

The information obtained thus far on water levels in Mississippi shows 

a general decline in artesian pressure when compared with the measurements 

reported in Water-Supply Paper 576. Water levels appear to have fallen 

several tens of feet during the past 30 years, both in the alluvial plain 

and along the coast. Although the decline appears to have been greatest 

280
MISSISSIPPI 281

in areas of heavy withdrawal, measurements made In connection with the 

present investigation have not been carried on for a sufficient period to 

Indicate the present trends of water levels.

The water levels given on the following pages are the highest and 

lowest stages reached each month for those wells on which a continuous 

record was obtained.

FLATEEAD VALLEY BETWEEN FLATHEAD LAKE AND KALISPELL 

By R. C. Cady

The periodic measurement of water levels in 39 wells in the valley

and delta area between Flathead Lake and Kaliapell was continued through

I/ 

1939. To the 147 readings that had been collected since July 1928 were

added 8 other readings.

Average monthly water levels and comparisons with those of 1938 and 

1929 are given in the following table. Water levels in the first half 

of 1939 were a fraction of a foot higher than in the corresponding part 

of 1938, but in the latter half of the year they were lower than in 1938. 

Water levels in 1939 were from 0.90 foot to 1.59 feet lower than in 1929.

It should be noted that where a measurement was missing, a calculated 

substitute reading was inserted in computing the average water levels 

for 1939. This was done by comparing the readings of the well with readings of other wells nearby. The water levels are expressed in feet above 

the altitude 2,800 feet above sea level.

By L. K. Wenzel

The State-wide program of water-level measurements In wells was continued In 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the 

Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska.

The following tables summarize water-level fluctuations In 167 key 

wells throughout the State. The first table gives average water levels, 

in feet above assumed datum planes, In wells In the fall of the 6 years 

from 1934 through 1939. In four of the six sections of the State, the 

average fall stage was lower In 1939 than in 1938; In the other two the 

north-central and south-central sections it was slightly higher.

In all the sections of the State the average fall stage was lower In 

1939 than In 1934; for the entire State It was the lowest on record. The 

precipitation In Nebraska In 1939 as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau 

was only 69 percent of normal. The second table gives average net changes 

In water level, based on measurements made In the fall of each year, and 

also average net changes In water level from 1934 to 1939. In 1939 the 

averages for the eastern and western sections of the State declined, whereas 

for the central sections they rose. The decline In the eastern and western 

sections probably was caused by subnormal precipitation, but part of the 

rise In the north-central section may be attributed to rather large rises 

of water level in wells In the middle Loup Valley, where diversions of 

water from the Loup River were made for Irrigation during the year. The 

rise In the south-central section 0.02 foot Is too small to be significant.

There was an average net decline In water level of 0.22 foot In 1939 in 

the 167 key wells In the State, a decline that contrasts with a net rise of 

0.18 foot In 1938. The water levels In the wells in the fall of 1939 averaged 0.38 foot below the fall stage of 1934 and 0.62 foot below the fall 

stage of 1935, In which year the highest fall stage was recorded. If It Is 

assumed that the average net decline of 0.22 foot recorded In the 167 wells 

In 1939 represents the average fluctuation 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 

decrease In ground-water storage In 1939 of about 1,600,000 acre-feet.

Measurements made In 1939 of water levels in 410 observation wells are

given on the following pages. Included in -this group are 52 wells In Hall

288 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

and Merrlck Counties tnat are being observed through Informal cooperation 

with the Grand Island Water Department; 6 wells In Garden County that are 

being observed through Informal cooperation With the Bureau of Biological 

Survey; and 6 wells In Keith County that are being observed through Informal 

cooperation with the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District. 

Measurements In 16 of the wells In Franklin, Nuckolls, and Webster Counties 

were made In 1939 In connection with a detailed Investigation of the geology 

and ground-water resources of parts of these counties by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division of the 

University of Nebraska. Dally tape measurements, furnished by the Nebraska 

Department of Roads and Irrigation, are given for well 85, In Morrlll County. 

During the year a total of about 1,950 Individual measurements of water 

level were made In the 410 observation wells.

The observation wells, which are listed alphabetically by county and 

numerically within each county, have numbers that correspond to those given 

In Water-Supply Papers 817, 840, and 845. This report gives complete 

descriptions of only those wells whose records appear for the first time. 

For most wells the water levels are sxpressed 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 the datum for wells that have been 

established since January 1, 1935, has been Interpolated from the average 

water level In a group of similar wells on a selected date. 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 that has 

been referred to one or more bench marks near the well.

NEW JERSEY

By H. C. Barksdale and E. J. Schaefer

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure in wells in New 

Jersey were continued during 1939, as a part of a cooperative investigation of the State's ground-water resources, by the Federal Geological 

Survey and the New Jersey State Water Policy Commission. The main purpose 

of the investigation is to determine as closely as possible the safe yield 

of the more important aquifers in the State. Most of the work has been 

concentrated in a few areas in which critical ground-water problems appear 

to have developed, but the investigations are being extended over larger 

areas as fast as available funds and personnel will permit. The areas in 

which water-level observations have been made during the year are indicated 

by shading on the accompanying map. As records for all the wells that are 

being measured in the State have not yet been reported in the series of 

annual reports on water levels and artesian pressure, shaded areas are 

shown in some counties in the accompanying figure for which no records have 

yet been published.

Most of the wells measured in New Jersey during 1939 are in areas where 

quantitative investigations are being made and where water levels are 

affected to some extent by pumping. A few observation wells are outside the 

influence of artificial withdrawals of water and are observed primarily for 

the purpose of studying the effect of climate on ground-water recharge, 

discharge, and storage.

At the end of the year, 148 observation wells were being measured at 

more or less regular intervals. Most of the wells were measured monthly, 

& few weekly, and two at least once a day. Water-stage recorders were 

maintained on 50 wells. Of the recorders, 40 are the property of the State 

and Federal governments, and 10 are owned by municipalities, water-supply 

companies, and industrial companies. About 5,600 individual measurements 

of water level were made during the year.

A study was begun in 1939 in the vicinity of Penns Grove, Salem County, 

N. J., to determine the effect of pumping from two new-type wells or "water 

collectors" in which several screens many feet long radiate from a central 

collecting well or shaft. No investigations were terminated in 1939. 

Quantitative studies in the Atlantic City, Camden, Astoury Park, Runyon,

337

Figure 11. Map showing areas of observation wells in New Jersey.
NEW JERSEY 339

Canoe Brook, and East Paterson areas were continued. In the Atlantic City 

and Runyon areas, where serious problems of salt-water Intrusion exist, 

special studies were made to observe or predict the advance of salt water 

Into sands that have heretofore yielded fresh water.

In most of the observation wells that tap artesian aquifers, the major 

fluctuations of water level during the year were produced by pumping. In 

the Atlantic City area, water levels In wells that tap the so-called 800-foot 

sand were higher during the first part of 1939 than during the corresponding 

period In 1938 but were lower during the last part of 1939 than during the 

last part of 1938. Water levels In wells that tap the No. 1 sand in the 

Runyon area were much lower during the first 10 months of the year than in 

1938, but thereafter they were much higher than In 1938. The fluctuations 

of water level In both areas appear to be in direct response to changes in 

the rate of pumping from the two sands. Similarly, the head In other artesian aquifers appeared to respond primarily to fluctuations in pumping.

During the first 4 months of the year the precipitation in New Jersey 

was about normal; and the water table, where not affected by pumping, stood 

at approximately average levels. For the rest of the year the precipitation 

was much below normal, and at the end of the year the water table was unusually low. In the northern part of the State the water levels In surface 

reservoirs that are usually fed chiefly by ground-water run-off during the 

growing season likewise were at exceptionally low levels at the end of the 

year.

A water-stage recorder has been maintained continuously on the Morrell 

well, in Middlesex County, since August 1923. Fluctuations of water level 

in this well during 1939 are compared with those during preceding years of 

record in the accompanying figure. On 109 days in 1939 the water level in 

this well was lower than on corresponding days In any previous year of 

record. The downward trend of water level In the well was Interrupted by 

heavy rains near the end of August, however, and the lowest stage of the 

year was much higher than the lowest stage on record. Fluctuations of water 

level in this well are believed to be typical of those in wells in parts of 

the New Jersey coastal plain, where the water table is relatively near the 

surface. The August rains produced much less recharge in areas where the 

water table was farther below the surface, and in several water-table wells 

the lowest water level on record occurred near the end of 1939.

In this report the wells are listed alphabetically by counties to conform with the practice now general for other States. The wells in the New 

Jersey report have heretofore been listed alphabetically by areas. In order

to provide cross references between this report and previous reports, the 

county name is given at the top of each page, and the name of the area in 

which the well is situated is given in the descriptive text for that well. 

The following table gives the principal ground-water areas and the counties 

that lie partly within them.

At the beginning of the records for Middlesex County a table is 

included that gives average water levels during 1939 in dug wells in the 

Runyon area near Runyon. A description of the method of preparing these 

averages is given in Water-Supply Paper 845. The water levels in wells' that 

are more than 25 feet deep appear to fluctuate differently from those in 

wells whose depths are less. The wells have therefore been segregated into 

two groups, as was done in former years, and the water levels in them have 

been averaged separately.

Most of the water levels given in the following tables are expressed in 

feet above or below mean sea level. For wells where the altitude of the 

reference point has not been satisfactorily determined, however, the water 

levels are given in depths below the measuring point. For wells equipped 

with water-stage recorders, a.daily water level is given usually the one 

judged to be most significant. For most wells whose water levels are 

affected by pumping or by tides, the lowest water level each day is given. 

An exception to this rule is well 36.23.1.9.6 at Longport, Atlantic County, 

for which the daily average of water levels at the two high tides and two 

low tides is reported.

During 1937 the level net in the Runyon area was completed and adjusted. 

The records for three wells, 29.1.4.3.9 (F-3), 29..1.4.4.1.A (S-l), and 

29.1.5.7.2 (F-14), all in Middlesex County, were reported in Water-Supply 

Paper 840 before the adjustment had been made. In Water-Supply Paper 845 

the altitudes of the measuring points on these wells were not corrected. 

The records of water level for the first two of these wells, however, were 

reported in Water-Supply Paper 845 on the basis of the corrected altitudes 

of measuring points, but the water levels in well 29.1.5.1.7.2 were reported 

on the basis of the unadjusted level net. The corrected altitudes of measuring points are given in this report in the descriptive text for the wells.

CHAVES AND EDDY COUNTIES

ROSWELL ARTESIAN BASIN 

By A. M. Morgan and 0. J. Loeltz

In the Roswell artesian basin practically all the land under cultivation is irrigated by water derived directly or indirectly from underground

sources. The chief sources are artesian water"" In the San Andres limestone

2/ 

and shallow water in the valley fill. The minor sources of Irrigation

water are the spring-fed perennial flows of the lower courses of the larger 

tributaries of the Pecos River, the flow of drains, and the flow of the 

Pecos River. Most of the normal flow of the three minor sources is derived 

from natural ground-water seepage and return water from irrigation In the 

artesian basin. Beginning In 1938, releases of water from storage In 

Alamogordo Reservoir above Port Sunnier have been made during the irrigation season, when the lands irrigated from the Pecos River received water 

from outside the artesian basin.

The total acreage of Irrigated land In the artesian basin In 1939 was 

about the same as that in 1938 106,000 acres. Some new land was Irrigated 

for the first time in 1939, and some land previously irrigated was allowed 

to remain Idle. About 800 acres were Irrigated for the first time in 1939 

by water derived from shallow wells. About 7,000 acres were Irrigated by 

water pumped from the Pecos River, of which 2,000 acres are In Eddy County 

and 5,000 acres In Chaves County.

Fluctuations in artesian head

Fluctuations of artesian head In the Roswell artesian basin in 1939, 

as Indicated by three representative wells equipped with water-stage 

recorders, are shown In the following table. The mean daily artesian head 

was ascertained by inspection of the recorder graph; the mean monthly head 

was obtained by averaging the mean dally head; and the mean annual head was 

determined by averaging the mean monthly head. The records of artesian 

head were furnished through the courtesy of E. G. MInton, Jr., artesian-well

supervisor of the Roswell artesian basin. Records of artesian head in the 

three wells from 1925 through 1938 are given In Water-Supply Papers 777, 

817, 840, and 845.

Records for 1939 for all three wells show a major seasonal fluctuation 

of artesian head similar to that of previous years. In all three wells the 

head dropped sharply In the early spring when irrigation began and rose 

sharply in the fall and winter. Minor fluctuations of head, caused by 

changes in draft brought about by changes in local precipitation, occurred 

In each of the wells during the summer. In the Artesla well the head 

Increased in May and August, when precipitation was above normal In the 

vicinity of Artesla. In the Berrendo and Orchard Park wells the head 

Increased In July, a month of heavy rainfall In the vicinity of Roswell.

In each of the three wells the mean annual water level for 1939 was 

the lowest of record. In the Berrendo well the mean water level In 1939 

was 1.1 feet lower than that for 1938, and the monthly mean level in 

December 1939 was 1.6 feet lower than that In December 1938. In the 

Orchard Park well the mean stage for 1939 was 5.5 feet below that for 

1938, and the mean stage for December 1939 was 3.8 feet lower than for 

December 1938. The lowest mean monthly water level in the period of record 

was reached in this well in August 1939, when it was 3.5 feet lower than 

the minimum monthly stage of 1938. In the Artesia well the mean stage for 

1939 was 3.4 feet lower than the mean for 1938, and the mean for December 

1939 was 0.6 foot below the mean for December 1938. In this well the minimum monthly stage for 1939, In July, was 4.6 feet below that for 1938.

Water levels in shallow wells

The investigation of shallow ground-water resources in the Roswell

3/

basin, in Chaves and Eddy Counties, N. Mex.,~ begun In 1937 in cooperation with the State engineer, was continued through 1939. The field 

investigation of the geology of the area and the collection of well data 

were essentially completed late in 1937, but the observation-well program 

was continued through 1938 and 1939.

Measurements of water level in 54 selected wells scattered over the 

basin have been made monthly or semimonthly for various periods between 

May 1937 and December 1939. Regular observations of water levels in 30 

wells have been made since 1937. Measurements on 5 wells were discontinued in 1938 and on 5 more wells in 1939. In 1939, 14 additional wells 

were selected to replace observation wells that had to be abandoned and to 

supplement the records obtained from those remaining. At the close of 1939 

the water levels in 44 wells were being measured regularly. Of the 44 

wells, 33 are In Chaves County and 11 In Eddy County. Water-stage recorders 

have been Installed on 7 of the 44 observation wells--4 In Chaves County 

and 3 In Eddy County.

The records of all but one of the wells In which the water levels are 

measured monthly show seasonal fluctuations of water level that appear to

be due principally to pumping for Irrigation. The water levels reach the

high point for the year in the winter or early spring and the low point in 

late summer. The amount of seasonal fluctuation varies from less than 1 

foot to over 16 feet, depending on the proximity and number of irrigation 

wells in the vicinity. In general, the pattern of fluctuation in any well 

in 1939 was similar to that of the same well in previous years, but in 

nearly all wells the water levels at comparable periods were lower in 1939 

than In 1938 or 1937.

In January and early February of 1938, 1939, and 1940, when the water 

levels throughout the basin were at or near the highest stage for the year, 

and when there was the least local disturbance of water levels by pumping, 

the water levels In many additional wells were measured. The following table 

shows the number of wells measured in each year:

County 1938 1939 1940

Chaves 290 299 298

Eddy 119 132 114

Total 409 451 412

Of the 409 wells observed in 1938, the water levels In 378 were measured in 1939, and 326 were measured again in 1940. In 1940 the water levels 

In 362 of the 431 wells measured in 1939 were remeasured. The change in 

water levels shown by these measurements were plotted on maps and contoured 

at 2-foot intervals. The accompanying two figures show the changes in water 

level from January 1939 to January 1940 that occurred in those parts of 

Chaves and Eddy Counties that are in the Roswell basin. Two other figures 

show the changes in water level that occurred in the same area from January 

1938 to January 1940.

During 1939, as shown by the changes in water level from January 1939 

to January 1940, the water levels lowered over practically all the area In 

a belt from 5 to 9 miles wide a belt that adjoins the Pecos River and that 

extends from Dayton to a few miles north of Roswell, a distance of 52 miles. 

The belt of lowered water levels is warped along the cross tributaries to 

the Pecos River (In which a perennial flow is maintained by ground-water 

discharge), such as Berrendo River, Rio Hondo, South Spring River, Rio 

Felix, walnut Draw, and Cottonwood Creek. In the northern part of the 

basin, near Roswell, the belt of lowered water levels swings northwestward 

from the Pecos River and is separated from the river by a belt, 4 to 5 

miles wide, In which the water levels rose slightly.

382 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

In Chaves County the change In water levels ranged from a small rise 

to a decline of over 6 feet. The greatest decline took place in the section of heavy shallow-water development between Lake Arthur and Orchard 

Park. In this section water levels fell throughout an area 6 to 9 miles 

wide and 22 miles long. Along the north-south axis of this area the 

decline waa over 4 feet, and It was over 6 feet in a series of "lows" 

along the axis. The maximum drop measured was 7.21 feet in an irrigation 

well west of Dexter. The average decline in water levels in this area of 

about 100 square miles was about 3.5 feet.

In Eddy County the decline in water levels ranged from less than 1 

foot to 3.08 feet, but it exceeded 2.5 feet in only a few wells. Lowering 

of over 2 feet occurred in several small isolated areas scattered over the 

section of general decline in water levels, the largest area of which is 

about 12 square miles and includes or adjoins the area of fairly intense 

ground-water development immediately south of Cottonwood Creek. The 

average decline in water levels in Eddy County amounts to about 1.5 feet 

over about 75 square miles.

Along the Chaves County-Eddy County line, in the southeastern part of 

T. 15 S., R. 24 E., and extending into the northwestern part of T. 16 S., 

R. 25 E., an anomalous rise of water levels ranged from 0.18 foot to 4.60 

feet. Similar rises of water levels in several other small areas occurred 

between January 1938 and January 1939 but were largely eliminated between 

January 1939 and January 1940. In this small area, however, water levels 

rose in both years. The sharp rise of water levels in this section during 

a period of pronounced lowering of water levels over the greater part of 

the basin appears to be associated with the upward leakage of artesian 

water possibly recently developed leakage from artesian wells in the 

vicinity.

In the period from January 1938 to January 1940, the water levels in 

Chaves County declined in the same areas that showed a decline from 

January 1939 to January 1940. The total net fall during the 2 years amounted 

to over 9 feet along the center line of the heavily developed section between 

Lake Arthur and Orchard Park. In this section the decline averaged about 5 

feet over about 100 square miles. In the vicinity of Roswell the decline 

amounted to almost 2 feet west of the city and almost 4 feet in a few wells 

southwest of the city. East of Roswell the water levels rose from a few 

hundredths of a foot to a maximum of 2.4 feet.

In Eddy County the water levels declined over practically all the 

6- to 9-mlle belt adjoining the Pecos River. The decline ranged from less 

than 1 foot to a maximum of 4.57 feet and amounted to over 3 feet In an 

area of about 25 square miles that extend from 2 miles south of Artesla 

northward to Cottonwood Creek.

LOTA COUNTY

MIMBRES VALLEY

By C. S. Conover

The program of measuring water levels In observation wells In the 

Mlmbres Valley and of gathering Information on the amount of water pumped, 

along with other pertinent data, was continued during 1939 in cooperation 

with the State engineer of New Mexico, T. M. McClure.

The Mlmbres Valley is an extensive desert plain, or bolson, In southwestern New Mexico, underlain to a considerable depth with Quaternary and 

older sands and gravels and clays derived from surrounding mountains. The 

valley Is traversed .by the Mlmbres River, an ephemeral stream In Its lower 

course. The normal flow of the Mlmbres River sinks Into the river bed 

shortly after leaving the bed rock of the Mlmbres Mountains. Only in years 

of heavy rainfall does the river reach the flood plain east of the Little 

Florida Mountains. Basic Information on the hydrology and on fluctuations 

of ground-water level in the Mlmbres Valley has been published in the 8th 

to 13th Biennial Reports of the State engineer of New Mexico and in Geologl 

cal Survey Water-Supply Paper 637. It is expected that the accompanying 

maps and water-level measurements, together with other data and a more 

detailed discussion, will be published In the forthcoming 14th Biennial 

Report of ths State engineer of New Mexico.

In 1939, according to a survey by the writer, more than 10,000 acres 

of land were Irrigated with water pumped from wells In the Mlmbres Valley. 

This is an Increase of about 1,000 acres over 1938.

The precipitation for 1939, as reported by the U. S. Weather Bureau 

at Doming, was 8.00 Inches, or 1.00 Inch below normal. This deficiency of 

rainfall may have caused a slight Increase In pumping for the year.

At the beginning of 1940, the water-level program Included about 120 

observation wells. Measurements were made once (in January 1939) in 63 

wells and bimonthly in the other 57 wells. The measurements made once a 

year are used In preparing maps that show yearly changes In ground-water 

levels In the valley; those made bimonthly are used for following the trend 

and change in ground-water levels during the year. As the observation wells 

are distributed over the whole area, they show changes In the entire valley. 

At the end of 1939 four water-stage recorders were In operation on representative wells.

The change in ground-water levels In the Mlmbres Valley from January 

1939 to January 1940 Is shown in an accompanying figure. Over the whole 

area under observation the ground-water level declined, but the maximum 

decline occurred In areas of heavy pumping. In the heavily pumped area 

east of the Little Florida Mountains, water levels In all the wells that 

were measured declined more than 0.8 foot, and the water levels In some 

of the wells declined more than 2 feet. In the area of heavy pumping 

northwest of the Little Florida Mountains the water level declined a 

maximum of almost two feet. In another heavily pumped area southwest 

of Deraing--the maximum decline of ground-water level was more than 2 feet; 

a decline of more than 1 foot occurred In all except one of the wells 

measured. In an area about 7 miles south of Doming, where the draft is 

less, the maximum decline of ground-water level was more than 1 foot; a 

decline of more than 0.7 foot occurred in all the wells measured.

The change in ground-water levels from February 1930 to January 1940 

is shown In an accompanying figure. A pronounced lowering of the groundwater level has occurred over a large part of the valley In the 10-year 

period. In the area of heavy pumping east of the Little Florida Mountains 

the decline has been iqgre than 16 feet; In the area of heavy pumping southwest of Demlng it has been more than 12 feet; and in the pumped area northwest of the Little Florida Mountains It has been more than 5 feet.

In the following tables the complete records of water level are given 

for the observation wells. Only the measuring points now In use are described. The former well numbers referred to In the well descriptions are 

numbers assigned to the wells in the 9th, 10th, llth, 12th, and 13th 

Biennial Reports of the State engineer of New Mexico. The altitude of 

the measuring points and the depths and diameters of some of the wells are 

taken from the 10th Biennial Report of the State engineer of New Mexico. 

Errors found In the reports previously published have been corrected In 

the accompanying descriptions and tables.

PORTALES VALLEY 

By C. S. Conover

The program of measuring water levels In observation wells In Portales 

Valley and of gathering other pertinent data was continued during 1939 in 

cooperation with the State engineer of New Mexico, T. M. McClure.

A general statement of the geology and water resources of Portales 

Valley Is given In Water-Supply Paper 845, pages 242, 245. It Is expected 

that a progress report on Portales Valley covering work carried on from 

1938 to 1940 will be published In the forthcoming 14th Biennial Report of 

the State engineer of New Mexico.

At the end of 1939 the water-level program Included about 200 observation wells In which water-level measurements are made once a year In 

January. These measurements are used In preparing maps that show the 

yearly changes In ground-water level In the valley. Water levels In 54 

wells are also measured bimonthly so that the trend and change In groundwater levels may be observed during the year. The observation wells are 

distributed over the entire area, and thus the changes In water level in 

them reflect average changes In the valley. Pour weekly water-stage 

recorders were operated during the year on representative wells In 

different sections of the valley.

The amount o'f pumping of ground water for Irrigation varies each 

year and Is Influenced by the amount and distribution of rainfall and by 

the kind and amount .of crops grown. The precipitation as reported by the 

U. S. Weather Bureau at Portales for 1939 was 16.89 inches, or 1.18 inches 

below normal. Much of the precipitation occurs during the growing season 

and thus makes dry farming possible In years of normal or high precipitation. According to an estimate by the Portales Chamber of Commerce and 

the office of the Roosevelt County Agent, about 13,000 acres were irrigated 

in 1939 with water pumped from wells in the Portales Valley. This is an 

Increase of about 2,000 acres over 1938.

The accompanying maps show the change in ground-water level in the 

Portales Valley between January 1939 and January 1940 and the change 

between January 1932, when the program of water-level measurements was 

started, and January 1940.

Prom January 1939 to January 1940 the water levels continued to 

decline in an area of heavy pumping northwest of Portales. The maximum 

decline observed in the year was 1.80 feet in wells 1.34.18.343 and 

1.34.21.141, about 5 miles and 3 miles, respectively, northwest of 

Portales. In another area of heavy pumping east of Portales the 

ground-water level rose between January 1939 and January 1940. The 

maximum rise observed was 1.09 feet in well 1.35.33.331 about 3 miles 

southeast of Portales. Local severe hail storms during the growing season damaged many crops in this area to the extent that the crops were 

abandoned and the land was not watered in the latter part of the season. 

Frequent rains in this area, which came when the crops needed water, 

reduced the amount of water pumped. The decrease in pumping due to the 

hail storms and raina is probably the principal cause for the net rise of 

ground-water level in this area during 1939.

In the neighborhood of Arch the ground-water level declined from 

January 1939 to January 1940. The maximum decline, amounting to 1.55 

feet, occurred in well 2.36.27.211, one-half mile west of Arch. This 

decline follows the rise in this area during the previous 2 years.

In the period from January 1932, when the program of measurements 

was started, to January 1940, the water level has declined throughout an 

area several miles wide that extends along the axis of the valley from 

about 9 miles west of Portales to 8 miles east of it. The maximum decline 

or ground-water level during this period has been more than 8 feet and has 

occurred in the most heavily pumped area, 3 miles northwest of Portales. 

The water level has fallen more than 5 feet in an area north and northwest 

of Portales that has a maximum length of 7 miles and a maximum width of 

more than 4 miles.

In the upper and lower parts of the valley the water levels had a 

small net rise during this period. In the upper part of the valley the 

area of rise extends west from a north-south line about 9 miles west of 

Portales. Very little water is pumped for irrigation in this area. The 

maximum rise observed 1.36 feet occurred in well 1.32.3.44. In the 

neighborhood of Arch, in the lower part of the valley, the maximum net

rise of water level over the 8-year period was a little more than 1 foot. 

In this area also comparatively little water is pumped for irrigation, 

although pumpage has increased somewhat since 1932.

The rise of water level in outlying, lightly pumped areas suggests 

that recharge to the underground reservoir has been relatively abundant, 

perhaps throughout the valley, but that such recharge has been more than 

offset by pumping in the central part of the valley.

NEW YORK

CENTRAL NEW YORE 

By A. W. Harrington

Periodic water-level measurements in four wells in central Hew York 

were continued in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the New York State Department of Conservation, in connection with a study 

that is being made to determine the effects of reforestation on stream 

flow. Previous records are published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, and 845. All the wells are equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders, but only weekly observations are published herewith.

The land surface near the wells, which are in areas of similar 

topography and geology, is hilly, for the relief ranges from about 300 

feet near the Sage Brook well to about 700 feet near the Shackham Brook, 

Cold Spring Brook, and East Homer Creek wells. The rocks of the region 

consist mostly of Paleozoic sandstones, shales, and limestones that are 

overlain by a thin mantle of glacial till. Small discontinuous deposits 

of alluvium also occur in the vicinities of the wells. Nearly all the 

unconsolidated deposits consist of unstratifled glacial till that ranges 

from 1 foot to 30 feet in thickness, but at most places they are about 10 

feet thick.

The chief water-bearing formation that the wells penetrate is the 

tough, compact glacial till, the pore spaces of which are small. As the 

water table stands close to the land surface near the wells, there is considerable evaporation and transpiration directly from the zone of saturation. As a result, fluctuations of water level in the wells are generally 

rapid and large.

Water levels in the four wells showed unusual fluctuations in 1939 

both new high and low stages were recorded. Abnormally heavy precipitation 

in February caused the water levels to rise to high stages, where they were 

maintained throughout early spring. Unusually light precipitation In April 

and May resulted in a pronounced decline of water levels, and, although 

heavy rains occurred in June, the previous high stages were not again 

reached. From July through November, when the precipitation was below 

normal, the water levels in all the wells declined to the lowest stages

on record. The Shackham well 1 became dry in early September and remained

so until early November. Vfeter levels in the other wells reached their 

lowest stages in the latter part of October. The precipitation in December being heavy, the water levels rose to or nearly to their stages at 

the beginning of the year. Water levels in two of the wells made small 

net gains for the year.

Records of water level for the Shackham Brook well 1, Sage Brook 

well 2, and Cold Spring Brook well 1 are given In feet below the measuring points; the records for East Homer Creek well 1 are given in feet 

above an assumed datum.

LONG ISLAND 

By R. M. Leggette

The ground-water investigation on Long Island was continued during 

1939 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the New York 

State Water-Power and Control Commission and with Nassau and Suffolk 

Counties. At the end of the year automatic water-stage recorders were 

in operation on about 25 observation wells. In addition to observations 

with these instruments, water-level measurements were made weekly during 

the year in about 112 observation wells and monthly.in 22 observation 

wells. A total of about 4,800 individual measurements of ground-water 

level were made during 1939.

In Water-Supply Paper 845 temporary well numbers were used for some 

observation wells. In the present report each well is designated by an 

official number based on a well-numbering system in general use on Long 

Island, and the temporary well number, if such was previously used, is 

given following the official number. Descriptive data are given only for 

those observation wells at which some change was made in 1939 or for wells 

whose records were not given in Water-Supply Paper 845.

a Well pumped dry between June 12 and June 20; recovery was very 

slow and subsequent readings may be affected, 

b Frozen.

The water level In most of the observation wells was lower at the 

end of 1939 than at the beginning of the year. Most of the wells In which 

the water level showed a net rise during the year are either deep artesian 

wells or wells In the west end of Long Island, where changes In rate of 

pumping nearby greatly affect the fluctuations of water level In them. In 

Kings County, on the west end of the Island, where overdevelopment has 

lowered the water level below sea level, further progressive decline took 

place during 1939. This Is Indicated by th^ foregoing table, which ahows 

that the water levels In most of the observation wells In Kings County 

reached the lowest stages on record during the last half of 1939. The highest observed water levels In most of the observation wells on Long Island 

for the entire period of record occurred during the spring or early summer 

of 1939. ,

a Based on Instrumental records of lowest dally water level 
NEW YORK 473

For several years much concern has been felt on Long Island because 

of the overdevelopment of ground-water resources of the western part of the 

Island. The excessive draft In Kings County has lowered ground-water levels 

to below sea level over an area of more than 40 square miles In places to 

more than 29 feet below sea level. This extensive decline has resulted In 

considerable encroachment of salt water. The regional draw>-down has, of 

course, spread laterally, although opinion differs greatly as to the distance 

that the effect has extended eastward on the Island.

The rise and fall of ground-water levels reflect changes of storage in 

underground reservoirs. As with surface reservoirs, the quantity of water 

stored in underground reservoirs varies with the amount of Intake or 

recharge and with the amount of discharge or withdrawal. If recharge Is In 

excess of discharge, ground-water storage will increase and ground-water 

levels will rise. Conversely, If discharge Is greater than recharge, groundwater storage will decrease and ground-water levels will decline. Overdevelopment of the ground-water resources of an area will therefore 

Invariably result In a progressive decline of ground-water levels. On 

the other hand, ground-water levels In areas where overdevelopment has not 

been critical will display no persistent downward trends. In critical 

areas, or in areas that may become critical, it is therefore desirable to 

follow systematically the trends of ground-water-level fluctuations.

In attempting to determine whether ground-water levels have declined 

progressively as a result of overpumplng, one must consider all contributing 

factors of both recharge and discharge. Chief among the factors of recharge 

Is precipitation, which largely determines the amount of recharge to the 

underground reservoir. Other factors being equal, ground-water levels will 

rise during or following periods of heavy precipitation and will decline 

during or following periods of deficient precipitation. Thus, if over a 

period of years there is a net decline of ground-water levels of the magnitude that might be expected because of differences of precipitation, such 

a decline does not indicate overdevelopment.

The trend of fluctuations of ground-water level can be observed in 

different ways. If periodic water-level observations are available for 

many wells, maps showing contours on the water table can be prepared from 

time to time and comparisons can be made among the maps. Such maps are 

very desirable for certain types of study because they show conditions over 

large areas on a particular date, but they have many disadvantages for 

determining the trend of ground-water-level fluctuations. Careful drawing
474 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

of the maps Involves much work, Is time consuming, and entails more or less 

personal interpretation. In many areas water-level measurements are not 

available at enough locations to provide adequate data for drawing the 

contours. Furthermore, an erroneous contour pattern may be obtained over 

a considerable area if data for one or more unsuitable wells are unknowingly used. Water levels in pumped wells, perched water-table wells, or 

artesian wells are obviously unsuitable for use in drawing contours on the 

water table because they do not indicate the true position of the main 

water table.

The trend of ground-water-level fluctuations may be indicated by a 

comparison of profiles showing water levels on different dates in a line 

of observation wells. The chief weakness of this comparison is that the 

fluctuations so shown are representative of only those in a relatively 

narrow band along the line of wells. This weakness can be overcome, of 

course, by establishing additional lines of wells; but in order to make 

comparisons that are representative of the area as a whole, some method 

for obtaining a mean of all the profiles must be used. Such a method is 

similar to the average water-level method described below.

Both contour and profile methods of studying ground-water-level trends 

are reasonably satisfactory for comparing water levels on perhaps two or 

three dates. Both methods become complicated, cumbersome, and confusing, 

however, when a comparison is made of water levels on more dates, especially 

on many successive dates. For example, if comparisons on a yearly basis are 

desired and the available records cover a period of 8 years, it would be 

rather difficult to obtain a clear comparison by superimposing eight profiles. If comparisons on a monthly basis are desired, the still greater 

number of profiles makes the comparisons even more complicated and confusing. Moreover, it-may not be practicable to prepare contour maps and profiles once each month for determining changes in ground-water storage.

Trends of ground-water-level fluctuations with the passage of time are 

shown clearly by a simple graph In which water level is plotted against 

time. Such a graph shows at a glance the trends that have taken place 

during the period of record. If periodic measurements of water level in 

one observation well over a period of years are plotted against time, the 

graph will show the trends of the fluctuations in the area surrounding that 

well. An observation well in another part of the area may, of course, show 

somewhat different fluctuations because of differences of such factors as 

geology, topography, recharge, and discharge. If water-level data are
NEW YORK 475

available for a sufficient number of adequately distributed observation 

wells, the areas represented by each well will overlap, and the total area 

that Is represented by all the wells will be essentially equal to the 

entire area In which the observation wells are situated. Thus, If for any 

one date the measurements of water level In many observation wells distributed over an area are averaged, the result may be considered to represent 

the water level In a hypothetical well, In the vicinity of which such controlling factors as geology, topography, recharge, and discharge are the 

average for the area. The Indicated fluctuations of water level In this 

hypothetical well are a measure of the average change In ground-water 

storage for the area as a whole. This Is precisely the factor that Is 

required In a study of the relation between recharge and overdevelopment.

The average water-level method of following ground-water-level trends 

has advantages over the other methods Just mentioned. An average for any 

one date can be obtained quickly and without personal Interpretation, which 

makes It feasible to keep currently Informed from month to month as to the 

changes In ground-water storage, and thus provides a basis for studying the 

causes of changes In ground-water storage. The value for the average water 

level can be easily computed within a day or so after the Individual waterlevel measurements have been made. If an unsuitable well Is unknowingly 

Included In determining the average, the value for the average water level 

Is affected only In proportion to the total number of wells used. The 

method generally gives significant results with a much smaller number of 

observation wells than Is needed for preparing a satisfactory contour map. 

Insofar as the number and distribution of observation wells Is adequate, 

the method gives a close approximation of the true average position of the 

water table or plezometrlc surface In an area. As will be shown, even If 

the number of observation wells Is relatively small the changes In groundwater storage from year to year may be Indicated rather closely.

Obviously, the use of the average water-level method Is limited. Many 

problems pertaining to ground-water levels can best be studied by means of 

contour maps and profiles. However, It Is believed that the average waterlevel method constitutes an economical, a convenient, and a reliable method 

for following trends of ground-water-level fluctuations.

In the area east of Kings County, Long Island, are many observation 

wells In which periodic measurements of water level are made. The waterlevel data so obtained provide a basis for using the average water-level 

method to determine changes In ground water storage In the area. Such

24*000 O 40 31
476 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

changes in storage as may be Indicated have a direct bearing on the question 

as to how far eastward the effect of excessive pumping in Kings County has 

extended or whether overpumping has taken place in the area in which the 

observation wells are situated.

The accompanying figure shows graphically the fluctuations of the 

average ground-water level on Long Island in the area east of Kings County. 

Before 1913, and during the period 1915 to 1918, measurements in several 

observation wells were made at irregular intervals; but the data are not 

adequate for the purpose of averaging. Unfortunately, no records of groundwater level are available for Long Island for the period 1919 to 1932. 

Measurements for 1912 to 1914 were made by the Department of Water Supply, 

Gas, and Electricity, of the city of New York. It should be noted that the 

graph in the figure shows fluctuations of water level with reference to 

an assumed datum and not with reference to mean sea level. Changes in 

ground-water storage indicated by this graph are in no way dependent upon 

the choice of any particular datum plane, because the changes would be the 

same irrespective of the datum used. i/ In a report by Meinzer and Stearns, individual water-level measurements in about 22 observation wells were averaged, and a curve was plotted 

showing average fluctuations for the entire drainage basin of about 90 square

miles. This method of averaging water levels was later revised somewhat and

!/ 

developed further by Lohman, working in Pennsylvania.

In carrying out a program of periodic observations of water level in 

a group of wells it is inevitable that from time to time some wells will be 

destroyed or otherwise become unsatisfactory for purposes of observation. 

Moreover, it is often desirable to add observation wells to the program. 

Thus, if the measurements are to be used for determining averages, they 

should be expressed in such a manner that the effect on the averages of the 

dropping and adding of wells will be small^ If the water levels are 

expressed with reference to mean sea level, the average water level may be 

appreciably changed if the altitude of the water level in the well being 

dropped or added is much greater or smaller than the average altitude. 

This objection can largely be overcome by arbitrarily assigning the same 

value to the water level in each well on a particular date and relating 

subsequent measurements to these assigned value.s.

For the wells on Long Island, a zero datum was established 10.00 feet 

below the water level in each well on December 5, 1936. The altitude of 

the measuring point of each observation well, in terms of the assumed datum, 

was thus established as the depth to water level in the well on December 5, 

1936, plus 10.00 feet. The date December 5, 1936, was chosen because the 

water levels were then at a low stage and because all the wells used for 

averaging were measured on that day. The measurements used for the averages 

prior to December 5, 1936, were not all made on the same day, although in 

general they were made within a period of about 1 week. The averages thus 

obtained were considered to represent the conditions on a day in about the 

middle of .the period during which the measurements were made. This unavoidable procedure is believed to have introduced only minor inaccuracies into 

the results. Average water levels after 1936 are, with a few exceptions, 

based on measurements made on two successive days near the end of each month. 

Water-level measurements made before and after December 5, 1936, are all 

referred to the zero datum at each well. The average water level for each 

month was obtained by taking the arithmetical average of the sum of the 

individual water levels in the observation wells expressed in terms of the 

assumed datum.

The number of observation wells used for averaging each month was 

increased or decreased from time to time, depending on whether wells were 

added or deleted. In general, this affected the value for average water 

level very little. When a new well was added the water level in it was 

assigned a value equal to the average water level in all other wells on 

that date.

The observation wells on Long Island that are used for averaging are 

mostly driven wells of small diameter that were put down specifically for 

water-level observations. No pumped wells, perched water-table wells, or 

artesian wells are included in the averages. Most of the wells are in the 

central and southern part of the Island, in Queens, Nassau, and western 

Suffolk Counties. The area covered extends from Aqueduct, in Queens County, 

to Lake Ronkonkoma, in Suffolk County, a distance of about 40 miles. Of 

the 80 wells in the average at the end of 1939, 62 are in Nassau County, 

15 in Suffolk County, and 3 in Queens County. The number of observation 

wells used for averaging ranged from 13 wells in 1913 to 80 wells at the 

end of 1939. The addition of new wells as they became available seemed 

desirable because, other things being equal, the greater the number of wells 

used the more nearly the computed average approaches the true average for
HEW YORK 479

the area. The number, location, and distribution of observation wells used 

for averaging affects to some extent the value that is obtained for the 

average water level. Thus, it is to be expected that an average based on 

13 wells will be somewhat different from an average based on 80 wells. The 

amount the average value is changed by adding new wells can be determined 

readily by a comparison of the average of water levels in one group of wells 

on a particular date with the average of a different group of wells on the 

same date. The following table gives such a comparison.

The value given at the bottom of each column is the one used in the 

accompanying figure for that particular date. This table shows that the 

averages for the several groups of wells differ by only a few tenths of a 

foot. For example, on December 30, 1939, the average based on 80 wells was 

11,26 feet above assumed datum, whereas the average on this date based on 

the 13 original wells used for averaging in 1913, was only 0.28 foot higher. 

This, and other examples in the above table, indicates that the averages 

based on the original 13 wells are in general slightly higher than the true 

average for the area as a whole. Thus, if a comparison is made between the 

high points for 1913 and 1939 on the average water-level graph, the net rise 

during the 26-year period was probably slightly greater the graph indicates 

0.3 foot than that shown by the graph.
480 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The relation between average ground-water level and precipitation is 

shown In the accompanying figure. The precipitation graph Is based on the 

average of two stations about 50 miles apart and Is believed to represent 

approximately the average precipitation In the Intervening area. The 

observation wells on which the average ground-water-level graph is based 

are all within the area between the two precipitation stations. A comparison of the two graphs shows a rather close relation between the upward and 

downward trends of precipitation and ground-water level. The average 

ground-water level on any one date is, of course, more a function of the 

precipitation during the preceding few months or years than the precipitation during still earlier years or the long-time trends of departure. Thus, 

for example, It is not to be expected that ground-water levels would be 

lower In 1939 than in 1913 merely because the graph showing departures from 

normal precipitation has a major downward trend during that period.

In 1903 a detailed contour map of the water table covering about the

3 

west half of Long Island was prepared by the Burr-Hering-Freeman Commission.

It seemed desirable to compare the data on this map with the average groundwater-level graph shown in the accompanying figure. The average water level 

on July 1, 1939, Is based on measurements in 62 wells 52 in Nassau County, 

9 in Suffolk County, and 1 In Queens County. The contour map of 1903 provides a basis for locating 55 of these wells (45 in Nassau County, 9 in 

Suffolk County, and 1 in Queens County) and for determining the altitude 

of the water table at those locations on July 1, 1903. The values determined 

in this manner were converted from Brooklyn Waterworks datum to mean sea 

level datum by adding 1.2 feet. As the altitude of the measuring points of 

these wells is known, it Is therefore possible to express the values of 1903 

in terms of assumed datum used in the accompanying figure. In this manner 

the average ground-water level on July 1,. 1903, was determined to be 14.8 

feet above assumed datum. Thus, during the 36-year period, July 1, 1903, 

to July 1, 1939, the ground-water level had a net decline of about 1.8 feet. 

Of the 55 locations used in determining the net change of water level during 

the 36-year period, about 16 are in areas that have at times been affected 

by nearby pumping. Therefore, as a check, average water levels for the two 

dates were determined without using the water levels at these 16 locations. 

The net decline for the 36-year period, as based on the averages of the 39 

locations, was within a few hundredths of a foot of the net decline based

on the 55 locations.____________

The net average decline of ground-water level of about 1.8 feet during 

the 36-year period Is of course the composite result of all the factors of 

recharge and discharge. In this connection consideration should be given 

to the departures from average precipitation during the different periods 

preceding July 1, 1903, and July 1, 1939. The following table provides a 

basis for comparing these departures.

periods before July 1, 1903, was more above normal than It was during 

equivalent periods before July 1, 1939. Thus, It Is to be expected that 

ground-water levels would be somewhat higher on July 1, 1903, than on 

July 1, 1939. The water-level data available for 1903 Indicate that In 

areas where the water table was less than about 20 feet below the land 

surface, the excessive precipitation during June resulted In a rise of 

water levels of more than 1 foot In some localities."" The water table

on July 1, 1903, doubtless was higher, particularly In those parts of the 

Island where the water table was relatively near the land surface, than it 

would have been had the precipitation during June 1903 been normal. Furthermore, hydrographs for four wells covering the period 1898 to 1903 show

that the water levels In them on July 1, 1903, were from about 0.4 foot to

I/ 1.8 feet higher than on July 1 of any of the preceding 5 years. If the

contour map available for comparison had been based on measurements made 

on July 1, 1900, for example, Instead of on July 1, 1903, the net decline 

of average water level for the 39-year period, 1900 to 1939, would doubtless have been much less than the decline of 1.8 feet Indicated for the 

36-year period, 1903 to 1939. Comparisons with ground-water-level data for 

still earlier years Indicate also that July 1, 1903, wae a time of unusually

higlj ground-water levels. In 1867 a map showing contours on the water table

6/ 

In parts of Queens and Nassau Counties was published. A statement on page

59 of this report Implies that the water-level measurements on which this 

map was based were made In the late fall of 1859 or early spring of 1860.

A comparison of the data for 1903 with that of 1859-60 Indicates that

I/ 

ground-water levels In 1903 were from 3 to 5 feet higher than In 1859-60,

In spite of the fact that the precipitation during 1859 was more than 17 

Inches above normal. The low water level In 1859-60 appears to be the 

result of subnormal precipitation during the 3-year period preceding 

1859.

The considerations given above appear to Indicate rather clearly that 

the water table on Long Island was unusually high on July 1, 1903, and 

that the difference In average ground-water level on July 1, 1903, and 

July 1, 1939, Is to a considerable extent the result of differences in 

antecedent precipitation.

K 203. As is indicated in the descriptive data for this well in 

Water-Supply Paper 840, the measured depth is much less than the reported 

depth, indicating that the well is partially filled. During 1939 observations were started on another well (K 1057) that ends in the same formation, about 3,000 feet northeast of K 205. A comparison of the water-leval 

records for the two wells indicates clearly that K 1057 is the better 

observation well. Observations on K 203 have,therefore, been discontinued. 

The records show that the mean daily water level in K 203 is about 0.1 to 

0.3 foot higher than that in K 1057. The lowest daily water level in 

K 203 is about 0.5 to 1.0 foot higher than that in K 1057.

NORTH CAROLINA

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By E. D. Burchard

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

Carolina, as described In Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845, was 

continued In 1939. Water-level recorders were operated on five wells 

throughout the year; measurements were made dally to weekly In four other 

wells.

In 1939 there were net declines In water level In six of the eight 

wells on which satisfactory records were obtained. A net rise of about 

0.2 foot occurred In the Preuler well at Roanoke Rapids, and a rise of 

about 0.3 foot occurred In the Brick Pit well near Goldsboro. Water levels 

In the Plshdam well near Northslde and In the Kurfee well at Mocksvllle 

declined about 7.9 feet and 3.3 feet, respectively. Net declines In water 

level of about 0.7 foot to 2.7 feet were recorded In the Alston well near 

Nashville, In the Terrell well near Copeland, In the Baldirin well at Blantyre, and In the Governor Holt well at Haw River.

Records of water level In 1939 In the nine wells under observation 

are given on the following pages. The water level In each well Is expressed 

In feet above an assumed datum.

Preuler well.

518 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

DEEP RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Pishel and J. W. Gambrell

The observation-well program In the Deep River area «/ In 

Guilford, Porsyth, and Randolph Counties, near High Point, N. C., was 

continued in 1939 by the Geological Survey. Water-level measurements 

were made about weekly In 21 wells at the beginning of the year. Well 

24 was discontinued as an observation well In November. About 900 

Individual measurements of water level were made by M. Delk during 1959.

The average water levels on successive dates for 1939 were obtained 

by averaging water levels In 21 wells (la, 2, 4, 5, 7-9, 9b, 10-12, 14, 

15, 18-21, 23-25, and 27). The average of the water levels declined during 

the summer and fall of 1938 as a result of low precipitation, but It began 

to rise in November and had risen 2.8 feet by January 1, 1939. It rose 

3.25 feet more until March 10, declined 4.49 feet until August 5, rose 

2.46 feet until August 19, and then declined 3.75 feet until December 

23. The water levels which had recovered an average of 0.61 foot by 

December 29, showed a net average decline of 1.57 feet for the year. They 

averaged 1.06 feet lower on January 1, 1940, than on January 1, 1935.

ELIZABETH CITY AREA 

By A. G. Fiedler

Observations of the fluctuations of ground-water level near Elizabeth 

City, N. C., were continued In 1939 through the cooperation of the 

Elizabeth City Public Utility Commission, The records reported herein 

are collected for obtaining reliable Information on the fluctuations of 

ground-water level In the Elizabeth City well field and also In the same 

general region but sufficiently distant from the well field, where the 

water level Is not especially affected by pumping from the field.

Records were obtained on two wells equipped with water-stage recorders. 

Well 31T Is a shafLlow well about 2,500 feet northwest of the pumping plant 

In the city well field, and well 33T Is a shallow well just west of the 

pumping plant and Is within the well field proper. Detailed descriptions 

and water-level records of the wells for previous years are given In WaterSupply Paper 81V (pp. 225-228), Water-Supply Paper 840 (pp. 316-318), and 

Water-Supply Paper 845 (pp. 343-345).

The water levels In well 31T are not appreciably affected by pumping 

In the well field, and accordingly they reflect the natural recharge and 

discharge from the underground reservoir. The records of water level taken 

from the recorder charts represent the lowest water level, In feet below 

the measuring point, for'days for which records are available. The highest 

level during the year occurred on February 11 and was 1.82 feet below the 

measuring point. The lowest level recorded was 5.69 feet below the measuring point on December 26 and 27. Slightly higher or lower levels may have 

occurred on days for which records are not available. Ho new maximum or 

minimum stages were recorded In this well during 1939. The lowest water 

level on December 31, 1939, was 0.85 foot lower than the water level on the 

same date In 1938.

According to the U. S. Weather Bureau, the precipitation for 1939 at 

Elizabeth City, N. C,, was 57.36 Inches, which was 9.86 Inches above normal. 

The precipitation was fairly well distributed throughout the year and was 

above normal In all months except May, June, September, and December. The 

highest monthly precipitation was 10.15 Inches In August 4.65 Inches above

246000 O iO 34
584 WATBR LEVBLS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1959

normal. The water level in well SIT responds fairly promptly to changed in 

precipitation and generally rises following heavy rains, provided the soil 

has not dried out completely. The largest amount of recharge usually occurs 

from January through March, when vegetation is largely dormant and evaporation losses are low; however, recharge also takes place at other times during 

the year when infiltration is in excess of that required to satisfy the 

soil-moisture deficiency. Though the annual precipitation'was above normal, 

the water level at the end of the year was 0,85 foot lower than at the 

beginning, largely because precipitation in December was only 1.48 inches-- 

2.42 inches below normal.

The water level in well 33T, situated within the well field, reflects 

changes in recharge; but the strongest influence affecting the water level 

is that created by the pumping of surrounding wells. [Records of water 

levels for this wall taken from the recorder charts, represent the minima 

on the days for which records are available. The highest water level 

recorded during the year, in well 33T, was 4.39 feet below thn measuring 

point on March 18, and the lowest level was 13.50 feet below the measuring 

point on November Z and December 31. The level on December 31, 1939, was 

2.62 feet lower than the level on the corresponding date of 1938. The 

records for the year are not sufficiently Complete, and the water levels 

in this well have not been recorded for a sufficiently long period to 

permit a definite statement of the significance of the net decline.

The pumpage for 1939 from the Elizabeth City well field is estimated 

on the basis of incomplete records to be about 160 million gallons, in 

contrast with about 195 million gallon? for 1938. The precipitation in 

the Elizabeth City area was above normal and was essentially the same in 

amount in both 1938 and 1939, That the water level at the end of 1939 

was lower than at the beginning of the year is not believed to be evidence 

of marked depletion, however, but rather may be caused by the existence of 

the well within the cone of influence of seven shallow, gravel-packed wells 

which were completed during the summer and which furnished, during the last 

half of 1939, almost 50 percent of the water supply for the city.

The following summary table gives the highest and lowest water levels 

recorded in wells 31T and 33T. The significant feature of the records for 

well 3IT Is that, during the 4% years for which records are available, the 

lowest water level was recorded each year during the period from June to 

December, but it occurred in a different month each year. This fact is 

further evidence of the close relation between the ground-water level and
NORTH CAROLINA 525

the precipitation In the Elizabeth City area. It Is apparent from the 

record that the lowest level for the year and the time that It occurs are 

not dependent so much upon the aggregate precipitation during the year as 

they are upon the duration of the period of deficient precipitation preceding the time when the lowest leve'l occurs. Even though the precipitation 

may be somewhat below normal, If It Is well distributed during the year, 

the lowest level that Is reached by the water table Is likely to be 

definitely higher than In a year when, though the precipitation Is above 

normal, there may be one or more extended periods of deficient precipitation during the later half of the year when normally the natural losses 

from the ground-water reservoir by transpiration and evaporation are large. 

These facts are especially significant with reference to the capacity of 

the Elizabeth City well field to meet the demand for water by the city, 

because the storage capacity of the underground reservoir Is limited and 

the safe yield from the field Is determined largely by the duration of 

extended periods of drought. It Is equally significant that for several 

years during the period of record for well 31T the highest water levels 

were recorded during months which In other years produced the lowest water 

level of those years. This rather anomalous situation merely Indicates 

that recharge takes place promptly In response to precipitation that Is 

In excess of that needed to satisfy soil-moisture deficiency.

The summary of the records In the following table for well 33T Is not 

especially significant because the records to date do not cover a sufficiently long period.

NORTH DAKOTA 

By L. K. Wenzel and P. W. Voedlsch

!/

The program of water-level measurements In wells In North Dakota 

was continued In 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with 

the Horth Dakota Geological Survey. Eight wells were dropped from the 

program and eight new wells were added. At the end of the year the water 

levels In 80 wella were under observation.

Water levels In most of the wells were measured weekly by local 

observers employed for the project; but In some they were measured at odd 

Intervals, and In a few they were measured only once or twice In the year. 

Water levels In about 25 wells were measured through courtesy of the city, 

State, and Federal agencies. About 3,000 Individual measurements of water 

level were made In 1939. Two automatic water-stage recorders were operated 

on wells during the year.

The following table gives average monthly water levels'from September 

1937 to December 1939 based on the records of 10 to 42 wells scattered over 

the State. In general, the average water levels In corresponding months 

during subsequent years show decreases In average water level from previous 

years. The average water level was 100.05 feet above datum In December 

1937, 99.54 feet above datum In December 1938, and 99.31 feet above datum 

In December 1939. Records for 29 wells were used to compute average water 

levels for 1939. Water levels In 7 of these wells stood higher at the end 

of the year than at the beginning; whereas In 22 wells they stood lower. 

There was an average net decline o'f 0.65 foot In the 29 wells In the year. 

The precipitation In North Dakota In 1939 as reported by the United States 

Weather Bureau was only about 84 percent normal. The deficiency may account 

for the prevalence of net declines of water level In this year.

Figure 22. Average water level, in feet above assumed datum planes, 
NORTH DAKOTA 629

The water levels in six wells at the field station at Denbigh, N. Dak., 

have been measured about twice a month alnce August 15, 1932, by the United 

States Forest Service. During 1939 these wells (wells 101-106, McHenry 

County) were incorporated into the State program, but records of water 

levels in them are included in this report for the first time. Average 

water levels for the period of record are given in the following table, 

and these data are shown graphically in figure 22. These wells were not 

always measured on the first or fifteenth day of each month, but for ease 

of comparison they are given so in the table. The table indicates that 

the average of these water levels fluctuated In 1937, 1938, and 1939 In 

about the same manner as the average of water levels in wells scattered 

over the State, which are Included In the foregoing table. The trend In 

water level has been generally downward; and average water levels on 

corresponding days of the same month of succeeding years, with the exception of the years 1935 and 1937, show a downward trend for the period of 

record. The largest annual variation in average water level in these 

six wells was 1.10 feet in 1933, and the least was 0.54 foot in 1935; 

an average net decline In water level of 0.74 foot occurred from October 1, 

1933, to October 1, 1939. The soil In the vicinity of the wells Is sandy, 

and the terrain is nearly level. As a consequence, much precipitation 

is absorbed by the soil and only a small part of it runs off. Fluctuations of water level In wells of this area are therefore.not so large as 

in wells In drift-covered areas of the State, where the character of the 

soil is lesS favorable for recharge and the land surface is more hilly. 

The precipitation In the Denbigh area, except in 1935 and 1937, has been 

below normal since 1929.

Since October 1937, regular measurements of water level have been made 

in two artesian wells (wells 2A, La Moure County, and 72A, Dickey County), 

which derive their water supply from the Dakota sandstone formation of 

Cretaceous age. The measurements were made in connection with a study of 

the artesian water supply of the Dakota sandstone formation in the EllendaleJamestown area. At the conclusion of this study the wells were incorporated 

into the State program of observation wells, but the records of all measurements appear for the first time in this report. Water levels in both these 

wells are affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, and the water level 

in well 2A is also affected by the emission of gas.

Records for 80 observation wells are included in this report. The 

wells are listed alphabetically by county name and numerically within each 

county. Complete descriptions are given for only those wells whose descriptions are not included in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845. Except where 

otherwise noted, all water levels are expressed in feet above an assumed 

datum 100 feet below the water level in that well on January 1, 1938, or 

nearest date of measurement. The height of the measuring point above the 

datum for wells that have been established since January 1, 1938, has been 

interpolated on a later date from the average water level in a group of 

selected wells. The depth to water level below the measuring point for any 

measurement may be computed by subtracting the height of the water level 

above the datum from the altitude of the measuring point. Water levels for 

any one well are directly comparable even though the measuring point may be 

changed, because the record Is given in height above a datum that has been 

referred to one or more bench marks near the well.

BUTLER AND HAMII/TON COUNTIES 

By P. H. Klaer, Jr.

The investigation of ground-water conditions in Butler and Hamilton 

Counties, Ohio, begun in June 1938, was continued during 1939 by the Federal 

Geological Survey in financial cooperation with the Boards of County 

Commissioners of Butler and Hamilton Counties. The investigation is being 

conducted by D, 0. Thompson and F. H. Klaer, Jr., of the Geological Survey, 

under the general supervision of 0, E. Meinzer, geologist in charge of the 

Division of Ground Water. It is expected that most of the work will be 

completed by July 1, 1940,but measurements of water level in selected observation veils may be continued for a longer period. A description of the 

investigation and measurements of water levels made in observation wells 

in 1958 are given on pages 370-585, Water-Supply Paper 845.

At the end of 1939, the water levels in about 75 wells were being 

measured weekly as a part of the investigation. During the year about 

7,500 individual measurements were made by H. F. Fittman, C. L. Elliott, 

and the writer.

During the year 15 automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 

wells, most of which were in areas of heavy pumping where fluctuations of 

water level are of sufficient magnitude to make weekly measurements of little 

value. Throughout the year 8 recorders were maintained continuously on the 

same wells, and 7 recorders were installed on 10 different wells for shorter 

periods.

A study of water-level records obtained over a period of about 18 

months shows a definite seasonal fluctuation of water level that is most 

prominent in shallow wells and least prominent in deep wells. In many 

 hallow wells, the seasonal fluctuations have amounted to as much as 14 

feet, the low levels generally having been reached in December 1958 or 

January 1939 and the high levels in April 1939.

The fluctuations of water level in wells that end in the deeper waterbearing beds depend largely on changes in the rate of pumping from industrial 

wells. As the rate of pumping from industrial wells depends largely on 

business conditions su.d on the seasonal activity of industries, these fluctuations sometimes coincide with the natural seasonal fluctuations. As a
OHIO 557

result, It is difficult to determine whether some of the rises of water 

level in the deeper wells are caused by decreased pumping or by recharge 

from precipitation.

In the Norwood area there was a gradual rise in water level of about 

4 feet from January through June 1939. From July to November, when pumpage 

for municipal supply was greater than frcm January through, June, the water 

level declined about 5 feet. During November and December the municipal 

pumpage was decreased, and the water level rose about 0.5 foot. The water 

level in well 16-5, in the Norwood municipal well field, was 0,3 foot lower 

on December 31, 1939, than on the same date in 1938.

In the Ivorydale area the water level in well 17, in the Procter and 

Gamble Company well field, waa relatively high at the end of 1938. A sharp 

decline of about 2 feet by the end of January was followed by a slow decline 

of about 0.5' foot from January to August. The rate of decline then became 

greater, and from August to November the water level dropped about 2 feet. 

The water level rose slowly about 0.5 foot during December. The lowest 

stage of 1939 was about 1.5 feet lower than the lowest stage of 1938.

Fluctuations of water level in the Lookland area are caused mostly 

by changes in the rates of pumping,from wells nearby. When the pumping 

from wells was decreased In January, the water level rose about 3 feet. 

From February to August the water level fluctuated within a range of about 

6 feet, depending on changes in rates of pumping) and from August to November it declined Irregularly about 7 feet, due In part tc Increased industrial pumpage and to deficient rainfall. During December the water level 

rose slightly. The water level In well 14, at the Gardner-Richardson Company plant, showed a net decline of almost 8 feet for the year, which 

resulted mainly because the seasonal low level for 1938 was reached in 

August, whereas the seasonal low level for 1939 was not reached until 

December. The water level at the end of 1939 was only 0.1 foot lower than 

the low level of August 1938,

The water level in well 13,, at the municipal water plant of the village 

of Wyoming, rose about 1 foot from December 1938 to December 1939. It rose 

about 3 feet from January to August and then declined about 2 feet from 

August to, December.

In the Mill Creek Valley north of Lookland, water-level measurements 

made in wells 18 and 56 show that a general rise In water level of about 

6 feet occurred from January to April. As a result of one storm, April 14 

to 18, water levels in bcth wells rose 5 feet more within 10 days. From
558 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

April to December the water levels In the wells declined 9 to 13 feet, but 

nevertheless the water level in well 18 had a net rise of 0.4 foot in the 

year and the water level in well 56 had a net rise of 2 feet.

In the upper part of Mill Creek Valley, water levels on January 1 were 

generally low. They rose about 3.5 feet during January and February, fluctuated irregularly during March and April, and then declined 3 to 5 feet 

from April through May. After a rise of 2 to 3 feet in June, the water 

levels declined 6 to 7 feet from July to December and were about 3 feet 

lower on December 26, 1939, than on the same date in 1938.

In the divide area between Mill Creek Valley and Miami Valley, water 

levels in wells were low in January. They rose 5 to 9 feet during February, 

March, and April, declined about 2 feet in May and June, and then declined 

7 to 12 feet more from July to December. Water levels in most wells in 

this area declined 2 to 7 feet in the year.

In the Miami Valley south of Hamilton, water levels in wells rose more 

or less continuously from January to June and then declined from June to 

December. The rises in the first part of the year and the declines in the 

last part were about the same 8 feet. Nearer the Miami River, the high 

level for the year was reached in April, and except for a small rise in 

June the water levels declined from April -to December. Most wells showed 

net declines of water level of about 0.5 foot for the year.

Water levels in wells in Hamilton rose from the end of January to April 

but declined irregularly, except for an abrupt rise in June, from April to 

December. The rises in the early part of the year ranged from 10 to 12 feet; 

the ensuing declines were from 11 to 13 feet. The water levels declined 

about 1 foot in the year.

In Middletown, water levels in wells in the shallow water-bearing --beds 

rose about 7.5 feet from January to March, declined 2.5 feet in March, and 

then rose 8 feet during April. From April to June the water levels declined 

about 10.5 feet, in June they rose 6 feet, and from June to December they 

declined 7 to 14 feet. There were net declines of water level in wells and 

gravel pits for the year of 2 to 8 feet.

Measurements of water level in the deeper water-bearing beds in Middletown have been made in two wells at the East End plant of the American 

Rolling Mill Company. The fluctuations of water level in this locality due 

to pumping nearby wells are so great that it is impossible to determine at 

the present time whether the water in the deeper beds is being replenished 

by recharge. The water level in well 23-13 declined irregularly about 6
OHIO 559

feet from January 1 to April 7. During April and the first week in May, 

when pumpage from nearby wells of the company was decreased, the water 

level in the well rose about 6 feet. Pumpage was then increased, and the 

water level declined about 6 feet from May 8 to July 4. Prom July 4 to 

August 7, pumping from nearby wells was reduced to about 40 percent of the 

average, and the water level rose about 16 feet. Prom August 7 to December 

9, when pumping was very heavy, the water level dropped 24.5 feet. A rise 

of 7 feet occurred in December, when pumpage was again decreased. The water 

level in well 23-13 was about 13 feet lower on December 31, 1939, than on 

the same date in 1938.

Precipitation recorded at the Abbe Observatory Station of the United 

States Weather Bureau in Cincinnati, for the period July 1, 1938, to July 1, 

1939, was almost 13 inches above normal. The greatest excesses occurred 

during March and April, when conditions for recharge were unusually favorable. The ground was apparently unfrozen, and the growing season had not 

yet begun. Losses by transpiration were, therefore, small. A severe storm 

from April 14 to 18, during which 4.92 inches of rain was recorded at 

Cincinnati, 3.62 Inches at Hamilton, and 3.30 inches at Middletown, caused 

rapid rises of water levels in most wells in the area. The water level In 

a test well rose 14 feet as a result of the storm. Heavy precipitation 

during the last 2 weeks in June caused additional rises in many shallow 

wells, although the rises were not so great or so widespread as those in 

April.

Precipitation for the last half of 1939 was below normal, the accumulated deficiency for the 6-month period being 7.74 inches. The greatest 

deficiencies occurred in September, when the precipitation was only 26.8 

percent, and in November, when the precipitation was only 29.8 percent of 

normal. The precipitation for the year recorded at the Abbe Observatory 

was 2.54 inches above normal.

The period of deficient precipitation occurred in large part during 

the growing season, when much water is removed from the ground by plants. 

The decline in water levels was probably greater, therefore, than it would 

have been had the precipitation been equally deficient during the .winter, 

when vegetation Is dormant.

In July 1939 the water levels in most observation wells of the area 

were at about the same stages as in July 1938. Prom August to December, 

1939, however, they declined almost without interruption as the result of 

low precipitation and increased pumpage for industrial purposes, and at
560 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

the end of the year the water levels were much lower in many cff the wells 

than at the end of 1939. The usual low seasonal level had not been reached 

by the end of 1939, and the general decline in water levels was continuing.

In the following tables, water-level measurements ere given in feet 

below measuring points. If water-level measurements for a well were given 

in pages 370-383 of Water-Supply Paper 845, the descriptions of the well 

and the measuring point, if unchanged, are omitted in this report. For 

wells on which automatic water-stage recorders have been installed, the 

lowest daily water level, as determined from the recorder charts, is given. 

Water-level measurements for pits are staff-gage measurements and represent 

the height of the water level above the zero of the gage.

The wells are grouped by townships so that the measurements for wells 

in the same locality may be given in the same table.

588 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

City of Canton 

By A. N. Sayre

Canton lies In the northeastern part of Ohio near the edge of the 

glaciated area. The mean annual precipitation Is about 39 Inches. Three 

tributaries of Nlmlshlllen Creek flow through the city. Except for water 

that Is pumped from one of these tributaries for Industrial use, the 

entire water supply for the city and its Industries Is pumped from wells. 

The outwash gravel that underlies parts of the city to a depth of 100 to 

200 feet supplies most of the water. A sandstone of Mlsslsslpplan age, 

known to the drillers as the "Big Injun Sand," supplies a small amount 

of water to wells. This formation, which Is encountered In wells 200 to 

400 feet deep, contains water that Is, generally speaking, much softer 

than that In the gravel.

The average dally pumpage by the city and all its Industries is about 

40,000,000 gallons. About three-fourths of this is pumped by three organizations. The Tlmken Roller Bearing Co., In the southwestern part of the 

city, pumps about 11,000,000 gallons a day from a large well In the gravel 

deposits. The Republic Steel Corporation, in the northeastern section of 

the city, uses water from wells both in the gravel and in the sandstone 

and also from Nlmlshlllen Creek. An average of 3,700,000 gallons a day 

Is pulped from the wells that' end In the gravel and 4,800,000 gallons a 

day from wells that end in the sandstone. Wells In the northeastern part 

of the city, which now supply water for the entire city, consist of nine 

wells drilled Into the gravel near the northern limits of the city. During 

1939 these wells furnished an average of 11,321,000 gallons a day.

The depth to the static water level In each of the city wells (wells 

2-6, 8-11) on the first of each month, as supplied by H. A. Byers, is 

given on the following pages. Weekly water levels in a test well (well 20) 

drilled through the gravel by the Republic Steel Corporation at Lippert 

Street and Warner Road, N.E., are supplied by E. V. Beftoulides, This 

well Is not pumped, and the nearest pumped well Is about 500 feet to the 

east.
OHIO 589

A water-stage recorder is maintained on well 21, owned by the Ohio 

Power Co. The recorder is serviced by C. R. Phillips. This is the westernmost well of a battery of 35 wells, staggered on two parallel lines on 

8-foot centers. These wells extend about 40 feet below the bottom of a 

tunnel that is itself 25 feet below the land surface. All the wells were 

formerly pumped by suction, but now only the easternmost well is pumped, 

and that only for air conditioning during the daytime In summer. The wells 

end in gravel. About 400 feet east of the observation well is a well that 

ends in the Big Injun sand and is pumped for boiler water. The recorder 

 chart shows sharp rises and declines of water level that appear to have 

more or less regular periodicity and are believed to result from compression 

of the aquifer by trains of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad, which pass 

within a few feet of the well. They also show a downward trend of water 

level when the air-conditioning well is pumped but no apparent change in 

water level from the pumping of the deep well. There are no other wells 

within several blocks of well 21.

A total of 165 Individual measurements of water level were made in 

the 11 observation wells In 1939.

PANHANDLE COUNTIES 

By S. L. Schoff

The observation-well program in the Oklahoma Panhandle, reported 

in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845, was continued in 1939 as part of the 

investigation of ground-water resources of the area that was begun in 1937 

by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey. Measurements in 1939 were made in 119 wells, of which 42 are in 

Beaver County, 30 in Cimarron County, and 47 in Texas County.

The general plan has been to measure the observation wells bimonthly, 

in the last 10 days of January, March, May, July, September, and November. 

However, in 1939 it was not feasible to make measurements in January, and 

those scheduled for the last of March were delayed until the first 10 days 

of April. Thus, only 5 measurements were made in most of the wells. Prom 

1 to 13 measurements of water level were made in 10 wells that were added 

to the program in 1939. To provide information on water-level fluctuations 

between the regular bimonthly measurements, from 12 to 16 measurements were 

made between July 8 and October 14 in each of 6 wells near Beaver. Of the 

570 individual measurements of water level that were made in wells in the 

Panhandle in 1939, 252 were made in Beaver County, 132 in Cimarron County, 

and 186 in Texas County.

Bench marks described in this report were set at nearly all the 

observation wells in July.

Through the courtesy of the Oklahoma Electric & Water Co., an automatic water-stage recorder was installed in October on a weU. formerly 

used to supply part of the water for the town of Beaver. The well (Beaver 

County 528) taps water in the alluvium of the North Canadian (Beaver) 

River. The water level in it has fluctuated very little during the period 

of record; it declined 0.04 foot from October 12 to 28 and had risen lay 

the end of December to a stage 0.28 foot above that of October 28. Because 

the fluctuations are very small and uniform, only tape measurements made by 

the well observer when servicing the recorder are given in this report.

In the spring of 1939, the Soil Conservation Service began to develop 

ground water for irrigation in the Paloduro Valley, in southeastern Texas 

County. Many test holes were drilled in the search for suitable well

591

locations, and eight 20-Inch gravel-walled wells were put down In the 

alluvium. These were grouped In three pumping plants, one pumping plant with 

two wells, one with four wells, and a third with four wells, two of which 

were constructed privately, Water-level measurements were made In November 

in one well of each group (Texas County wells 125, 150, and 158), and It ia 

expected that additional measurements will be made seraiannually, before and 

after the pumping season.

In 1939, the investigation of the ground-water resources of Oimarron 

County, which was begun In 1938, was completed, and an Inventory of wells 

In Beaver County was about one-half finished. A report entitled "Geology 

and ground-water resources of Texas County, Okla.," by the writer, was 

published In October by the Oklahoma Geological Survey as Bulletin 59.

Fluctuations of water level

Water levels In observation wells that tap water In the alluvium of 

stream valleys were mostly higher In April 1959 than In November 1958. 

Tney declined rather persistently throughout the summer, probably as a 

result of the general lack of rainfall; and, despite some recovery between 

September and November, they were generally lower In November 1939 than In 

the same month in 1938,

The water levels in wells 648 and 649, near Beaver, reached the highest 

stages of record on July 8 as a probable result of heavy precipitation, which 

In Juno was 1.24 Inches above normal. A similar but less pronounced rise in 

water level occurred in well 401, which Is deeper and which probably taps 

the Ogallala formation, but the water levels In wells 526, 527, and 635, all 

of which probably tap water In the Permian red beds, showed no effect of the 

heavy rains.

Water levels in wells tapping water In the Permian red beds and In the 

Ogallala (?) formation In eastern Beaver County declined irregularly in 

1939, and In November they averaged 0.27 foot lower than in November 1938. 

On the other hand, water levels In wells In northwestern Beaver County rose 

appreciably in the first half of the year, and in November 1939 they averaged 

0.33 foot higher than a year previous.

In wells on the uplands of CImarron County the rise In water level that 

began late In 1938 continued through September 1939 and reached In that

foot above the average stage in July 1938. Prom September to November 1939, 

water levels In the wells declined an average of 0.07 foot and In November

OKLAHOMA 595

Water levels in wells on the uplands of Texas County fluctuated 

irregularly in 1939. In April they averaged 0.01 foot higher than in 

November 1938} In May they averaged 0.09 foot lower; in July they averaged 

the same as in the previous November} in September they reached the highest 

average stage of the 2-year record 0.10 foot above the stage in November 

1938. But in November 1939 the water levels averaged 0.03 foot lower than 

a year previous and were at the same stage as at the beginning of record 

in January 1938.

The following tables present not only average water levels in several 

groups of wells in each county, but weighted averages for the Panhandle as 

a whole, in feet above assumed datum planes. Insofar as possible, the datum 

for each well was established 100 feet below the water level in that well 

in November 1938 because in this month measurements were made in more of 

the wells than in any other month. For wells not measured in November 1938 

the datum is 100 feet below the water level of November 1937, and for those 

wells added to the program in 1939 it is 100 feet below the water level in 

November 1939. As no datum has been established for wells that have not 

been measured in one of the November months In the last 3 years, such wells 

are omitted from the averages.

In the following tables the average water level for any month represents the average of all measurements made in that month. No correction 

has been made for omitting wells in which no measurements were made in that 

month. In general, the fluctuations of water level are small, and the addition or omission of a given well has only a very small effect on the average.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the year ending November 30, 1939, at five Weather 

Bureau stations In the Panhandle averaged 13.79 Inches 4.18 Inches below 

normal. Precipitation, which ranged from 2.55 Inches at Boise City to 

5.75 Inches at Beaver, was below normal at all stations. As all stations 

received more than the normal amount of rain In the months from December 

1938 through February 1939, the deficiencies In the latter part of the year 

were especially large. In the 3 months from September through November 

1939, departures from normal were negative at all five stations, as follows: 

Beaver, 3.64 Inches; Hooker, 3.79 Inches; Qoodwell, 3.62 Inches; Boise City, 

3.65 Inches; Kenton, 1.81 Inches.

Pumpage

The amount of water pumped from the larger municipal, Industrial, and 

Irrigation wells In the Oklahoma Panhandle In 1939 Is estimated to be about 

847 acre-feet, divided as follows: Beaver County, 170 acre-feet; Clmarron 

County, 64 acre-feet; Texas County, 613 acre-feet. These figures Involve 

approximations because some of the town supplies are not metered. The 

quantities used by the railroads and withdrawn from farm windmills have 

not been estimated because of Inadequate data. The estimate for Texas 

County Is much larger than the estimates for Beaver and Clmarron Counties 

because that county has more and larger towns than the others and has the 

principal active Irrigation wells.

STILLWATER CREEK AREA OF SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By S. L. Schoff

i/ 

The observation-well program in the Stillwater Creek area, near

Stillwater, Payne County, Okla., was continued in 1939 by the Soil 

Conservation Service, R. N. Wall, technician in charge. During the year 

J. F. Relf, Associate Engineer of the Soil Conservation Service, measured 

water levels in 14 wells at intervals of about 4 weeks an aggregate of 

172 individual measurements.

The water levels in the following table are given in feet above 

assumed datum planes that were established 10 feet below the water level 

in each well on January 1, 1935, The average water levels are computed 

from measurements made in 12 wells (1-4, 7-9, 11-13, 15, and 17} except 

In September, when well 9 was omitted because it was in use; and in 

December, when well 11 was omitted because the water table declined below 

the bottom of the well and when well 12 was omitted because the casing 

was damaged.

On January 6, 1939, the average of the water levels was about 0.5 

foot higher than a year previous. The average of the water levels, which 

rose 0.27 foot during January, reached a stage 1.14 feet higher than that 

of late January 1938. It declined through February and March, and then 

rose by May 24 to the highest stage of the year 0.47 foot above the stage 

on January 6, The average of the water levels declined through the summer 

and were consistently lower than on comparable dates in 1938. A new low 

average stage of 6.62 feet was reached on October 11 and was 1.23 feet 

below the stage of January 6. Water levels in the wells recovered somewhat thereafter, but at the end of the year they were about 0.9 foot lower 

than at the beginning of the year.

The precipitation at Stillwater in 1939, as reported by the U. S, 

Weather Bureau, was 26.62 inches, or 7.21 inches below normal. Precipitation was considerably above normal in January, and slightly above normal 

in June, July, and August, but in other months It was 0.15 inch to 3.31 

inches below normal. In the last 4 months of the year the total deficiency 

was 6.16 inches.

The Soil Conservation Service maintained 13 rain gages in the Stillwater Creek area. The precipitation at these stations ranged from 21.25 

inches to 29.89 inches and, Including the precipitation recorded by the 

Weather Bureau at Stillwater, was 26,19 inches for the year.

CLEVELAND OOUNTY 

By S. L. Sohoff

The water level In a well In Cleveland County, central Oklahoma, has 

been measured by the writer' at Irregular Intervals since March 31, 1939, 

In connection with ground-water studies that are being conducted by the 

Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological 

Survey. The well is in the Canadian River Valley, about 2^ miles northeast of the channel and on a terrace about 50 feet above the flood plain. 

The terrace is probably stream-cut and is underlain by the Hennessey shale, 

of Permian age. Locally there are patches of Pleistocene or Recent 

deposits on it. The well probably enters the Hennessey shale. Water for 

domestic and stock use is withdrawn, at least occasionally, by means of a 

rope and bucket. The erratic fluctuations In water lev;l during the period 

of weekly measurements from October 16 to November 14 cannot be attributed

to recharge from rainfall. In one well the water level was lower several 

days after a rain than it was before; hence It Is probable that the water 

level recovers slowly after withdrawals, as might be expected In a shale, 

and little significance can be attached to fluctuations of magnitude shown 

in the fallowing table. The record over a period of years may be of considerable value, however, as the owner reports that about 1927 the water 

level was less than 5 feet below the surface. In 1939 It was about 14 

feet.

The small observation-well program in Oregon (see Water-Supply Paper 

845) was continued in 1939 by cooperation among the Geological Survey, 

the Oregon State Engineer, and the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Stationi 

No observation wells were discontinued or established during the year. 

The distribution of observation wells and the number of measurements during 

the year are shown by the following table:

Of the six areas listed in the table, all but the Willamette Valley 

are in the semiarid part of Oregon that lies east of the Cascade Mountains^ 

The Willamette Valley lies between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast 

Range. It haa sufficient rainfall about 40 inches a year on the averageto be classed as humid; nevertheless, in summer and early autumn its rainfall is usually no more than in the semiarid areas.

In all wells of the Baker, Port Rock, Grande Ronde, Harney, and 

Willamette Valleys water levels were measured thrice during the year by 

Gt A. La Rocque, Jr., of the Geological Survey. In the Harney Valley, 

additional measurements in two wells on the Experiment Station farm were 

made by Obil Snattuck and R, E. Hutchison, voluntary observers. In the 

Walla Walla Basin, measurements were made in each well once or twice a 

month by or under the direction of J. M. Spencer, district watermaster; 

alao, float gages were maintained on two of the wells and were observed 

periodically by the owners, 0. K. Goodman and Walter Hermann, who served

without pay._________________________________________

616 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

In this report the observation wells in the Walla Walla Baain have 

been renumbered to show their location in the official rectangular system 

for subdivision of the public land; the scheme of the new numbers ia 

that explained in Water-Supply Paper 845. Thua, all current observation 

wells in Oregon except those in the Willamette Valley are now so numbered. 

The wells in the Willamette Valley are numbered serially to agree with 

descriptions in a forthcoming report, -i/ Of the 11 observation wells in 

the Harney Valley, 3 are described under serial numbers in a report 

recently published ^/; these serial numbers are given in this report.

The following table summarizes the net water-level changes during 

1939 in the six areas covered by the observation-well program in Oregon. 

It shows a net decrease in ground-water storage and a net decline of the 

head in bodies of confined ground water in each of the six areas. In the 

Port Rock Valley the rate of decline in head during the year was slightly 

greater than from 1936 to 1938, but it waa only slightly more than half 

that from 1932 to 1936. In the five remaining areas, however, the recession 

of water levela in 1939 offset the general increase in ground-water storage 

during the preceding year.

a Water level below bottom of dug part of well.
PENNSYLVANIA

By R. C. Baker

The State-wide program of ground-water observations was continued in 

1939 in cooperation with the Pennsylvania State Department of Internal 

Affairs, Topographic and Geologic Survey.

In 1939, measurements of water level were made weekly in 30 observation wells, and an automatic water-stage recorder and a rain gage were 

maintained at well 100. About 1,571 individual measurements of water 

level were made.

The average water levels in 1939, given in the accompanying table, 

are based on measurements made weekly in all the wells except well 115, 

which is 450 feet deep and is not considered comparable with the others. 

Another table gives average water levels in the wells for selected months 

in 1939 and for the same months in other years when the water table was 

unusually high or low. Subsequent tables give records of water levels in 

individual wells in 1939, expressed in feet above an assumed datum plane 

at each well. None of the wells are appreciably affected by pumping.

A comparison of average water levels in 1939 with the averages on 

corresponding dates in previous years shows that in 1939 the average of 

the water levels fluctuated through a range of 6.28 feet--the second 

largest annual fluctuation in the period of record. Only in 1936, when 

the range was 7.87 feet, did the average have a larger annual fluctuation. 

The large range in 1939 is apparent in figure 23 which shows graphs of the 

average weekly water levels in 1939, of the averige of all weekly water 

levels throughout the years of record prior to 1939, and of the highest 

and' lowest average weekly water levels recorded prior to 1939. The accumulated departure from normal precipitation for 1939 is sfc-wn also in the 

figure.

In 1939 the water level in 1 observation well reached a new high stage, 

whereas water levels in 12 other wells reached new low stages. One new low 

stage was recorded in August; four new low stages were recorded in September, three in October, and four In December. During the year 2 of the 

observation wells were dry on 1 or more days.

At the beginning of 1939, water levels in observation wells averaged 

12.59 feet above the assumed datum planes. The average remained about the

624

same throughout January and at the end of the month was the lowest on 

record for that time of year; the average level in January was also the 

lowest of record. In February, water levels in wells rose notably, and 

in the last 2 weeks of the month they stood at higher average stages than 

on any corresponding dates in the period of record. The average level in 

March was the second highest of record, and in April it 'was the highest 

of record.

As the precipitation in May was 2.25 inches below normal, water levels 

declined to about the average stage for that month in previous years. They 

declined seasonably from May to the first part of August. Subnormal precipitation during late summer caused them to decline more than seasonably, 

so that by the end of September they averaged about 1.5 feet below the 

normal stage for that time of year. The average rise of the water levels 

was irregular in October, November, and December, but it was less than 

seasonal for that period; and for the last week of 1939 the average was 

11.21 feet above the datum planes--!.8 feet below the average for that 

week for the period of record and 1.4 feet below the average for the last 

week in 1938. The average in November was the lowest on record, and the 

averages in September, October, and December were next to the lowest on 

record.

The drought in the latter part of 1939 produced the longest period 

of extremely low ground-water levels during the 8 years of record. It is 

fortunate that water levels were high in the spring of 1939, because if 

they had been at or below the average stage, the drought probably would 

have caused them to decline to stages even lower than were recorded in 

1939 and a more serious water shortage would have occurred.

The low water levels at the end of the year do not necessarily forecast low levels in 1940. In a period of only 3 weeks in February 1939, 

water levels rose from the lowest average stage to the highest average 

stage recorded for those weeks. A similar favorable period in 1940 would 

probably restore water levels to or above their average stage. On the 

other hand, if the low water levels should persist until the growing 

season of 1940, extremely low stages might occur in the summer or fall 

of the year.

TIGER RIVER AREA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

By V. C. Fishel

i/ 

The observation-well program In the Tiger River area in Spartanburg

and Greenville Counties, S. C., was continued in 1939 by the Federal 

Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, S. L. 

Jeffords, project manager. Fourteen wells (3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 17, 18, 19, 

32, 34, 35, 36, and 39) were discontinued during the latter part of 1938, 

well 31 was discontinued January 3, 1939, and well 12 was discontinued 

July 17, 1939. Nine wells were being measured at the end of the year. 

During the year M, E. Franklin, of the Soil Conservation Service, made 

about 250 individual measurements of water level in the observation wells.

Average water levels from January 3 to July 17, 1939, were computed 

from the water levels in 10 wells (1, 2, 6, 12, 15, 16, 33, 37, 38, and 

40). Well 12 was not included in the averages from July 17 to December 31. 

As observation on several of the wells was discontinued, the 1939 averages 

are not an exact continuation of the- 1938 averages.

Precipitation was considerably above normal in 1936 so that water 

levels in the observation wells rose an average of about 3 feet in that 

year. Precipitation was also high in January and February 1937, when water 

levels rose about 2.5 additional feet, and reached in March the highest 

average level observed during the period of record, which extends from 

June 1934 to January 1940. Water levels then declined more or less persistently for 22 months and did not cease declining until Jgebruary 1939. They 

declined an average of about 3 feet in 1937, 2.6 £e«t In 1938, and 0.5 foot 

In January and February 1939.

Recharge to underground reservoirs usually occurs during spring* In 

1939 the water levels rose an average of 2.3 feet from February 13 to 

June 5, after which they declined the rest of the year. Their average 

declined 2.7 feet from June 5, 1939, to January 2, 1940, and on January 2, 

1940, it was 0.73 foot below that at the beginning of 1939. Water levels 

on January 2, 1940, were at the lowest stage of record,

I/ See Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845 for records of 

ground-water levels, 1934-38.

CITY OP HURON 

By A. N. Sayre

Water-level measurements in gage hole 1 and records of pumpage frt» 

the municipal wells 4 miles west of Huron were given in Water-Supply 

Papers 817, 840 and 845. The water levels and pumpage data for the Huron 

well field given in this report were obtained from a graph furnished by 

Mr. Dow I. Sears, city manager of Huron.

The wells in the well field supplied all water used by the city from 

January 1 to July 17 and from November 25 to December 31. The water 

supply for the period July 18 to November 24 was taken from reservoirs 

in the James River. The total pumpage from the wells during 1939, 

153,590,000 gallons, was considerably less than the pumpage during 

1938, 230,000,000 gallons. The water level in the gage hole was 9.2 

feet higher on December 31, 1939, than it was on December 31, 1938.

SOUTH DAKOTA S41

SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA 

By T. W. Robinson

A cooperative agreement for the measurement of water levels in southeastern South Dakota was entered into in the fall of 1939 by the Federal 

Geological Survey and the South Dakota Geological Survey. Work on the 

cooperative project was begun in December 1939 under the general supervision of 0. E. Meinzer of the Federal Survey and E. P. Rothrock, State 

Geologist.

The purpose of the project is to obtain records of the fluctuations 

of water levels and artesian pressure in wells. The work is at present 

confined to wells that penetrate shallow water-bearing formations, largely 

glacial drift and alluvium. The project is essentially an expansion of 

a smaller program of water-level measurements in wells that has been 

carried- on since 1936 by the State Geological Survey. In April 1935, 

water-level measurements were made in 4 wells south of Huron, Beadle 

County, by M. E. Eirby of the United States Army Engineers. In August 

1936, V. C. Fishel and L. E, Wenzel of the Federal Survey remeasured the 

water levels in the wells and also measured the water levels in 17 additional wells in Beadle, Bon Homme, Eingsbury, Minnehaha, Moody, Turner, 

Union, and Yankton Counties. Beginning in 1937, the water levels in these 

21 wells were measured at irregular intervals by E. P. Rothrock, State 

Geologist. In December 1939, shortly after the present cooperative agreement had been entered into, the writer measured the water levels in 19 

other wells located in Bon Homme, Clay, Hutchinson, Lincoln, Minnehaha, 

Turner, Union, and Yankton Counties. In addition, many of the wells 

established by Fishel and Vi/enzel in 1936 were inspected. One of these 

early wells had to be abandoned, so that 39 wells were included in the 

water-level program at the end of 1939. Including the 10 measurements 

made in December, 49 individual measurements of water level were made

during the year.

I/ 

A report was published in 1938 by E. P. Rothrock" summarizing to the

fall of 1938 the water-level fluctuations in lakes and in 16 of the observation wells in eastern South Dakota.

I/ Rothrock, E. p., and Ullery, Dorothy, Ground-water fluctuations 

in eastern South Dakota: South Dakota Geol. Survey, Rept. of Investigations, No. 30, 29 pp., 1938.
642 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The precipitation In southeastern South Dakota during 1939 was, in 

general, below normal. Beginning about mid-August, It was decidedly below 

normal and resulted in a rather severe drought in the fall. The lowest 

water levels In 1939 occurred during December.

A study was made of nine of the wells (wells 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 19, 20, 

21, and 22) that have the most nearly complete records. In December 1939 

the water levels in seven of these wells were either about as low as the 

lowest levels recorded In previous years or were at lower stages.

On the following pages the observation wells are listed alphabetically 

by county name. All the water-level measurements are expressed In feet 

below the measuring point. Measurements of water levels In 1935 were made 

by M. E. KIrby of the United States Army Engineers; those in 1936, by 

V. C. Pishel and L. K. Wenzel of the Federal Geological Survey. All measurements from 1937 to December 1939 were made by E. P. Rothrock, State 

Geologist. Those in December 1939 were made by the writer.

STATE-WIDE PROJECT 

By R. W. Sundstrom

The measuring of water levels and artesian pressures at regular 

Intervals In selected observation wells In Texas was 'continued during 

1939 as a part of the cooperative ground-water Investigation of the 

State, which lo being carried on by the Federal Geological Survey and 

the Texas State Board of Water Engineers. Measurements of water level 

In a few wells began as early as 1928; observations on many others were 

begun In 1929 and 1930 In conjunction with the starting of Intensive 

Investigations In different parts of Texas, Including the Winter Garden 

district, In Dlmmlt and Zavala Counties, and the Houston-Galveston area. 

Since 1930 the water-level program has grown so rapidly that at the end 

of 1939 It Included wells In many parts of the State.

W. ft. White, of the Federal Geological Survey, has supervised the 

watf»T«_ievel program since Its beginning, as well as the other cooperative 

ground-water Investigations In Texas. The entire staff engaged on groundwater studies In Texas, as well as Mr. A. C. Cook, assistant engineer with 

the State Board of Water Engineers, have contributed to this report.

Measurements of water leveD In about 1,300 selected observation wells 

In 78 counties distributed over a large part of the State are given on the 

following pages. Many single measurements of water level In wells, not 

Included In this report, are given In mimeographed publications that were 

released In 1939 In connection with a water-well Inventory project of the 

Federal Work Projects Administration. That project Is sponsored by the 

State Board of Water Engineers and is carried out in cooperation with the 

Federal Geological Survey. Such publications were released during the 

year for Carson, Castro, Colllngsworth, Crosby, Gonzales, Ochlltree, 

Edwards, San Patrlclo, and San Saba Counties.

Measurements of water level and artesian pressure before 1939 are 

given In Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845.

Character of water-level fluctuations

The observation-well program In Texas covers a large area over which 

the geology, precipitation, ground-water recharge, and ground-water discharge 

range considerably. As a result, many types of water-level fluctuations are 

observed In the observation wells. In some parts of the State the

649
650 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

fluctuations In nearby wells may differ considerably because the wells tap 

formations at different depths. In several areas the fluctuations in 

Individual wells have been greatly Influenced by changes In rate of withdrawal from nearby wells.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Jackson. Matagorda. and Wharton Counties. The heaviest withdrawals 

of ground water In these counties are made for public water supply and for 

rice Irrigation. In most of the observation wells outside the heavily 

pumped areas, water levels declined 1 foot or less from 1934 to 1939. 

Records obtained In the heavily pumped areas are as yet too meager to 

Justify a conclusion regarding the trend of water levels.

Houston-Galveston area and adjacent region. The fluctuations of 

ground-water levels in this territory have been discussed In much detail 

by Messrs. White, Llvingston, and Turner In a mimeographed report on 

ground-water resources. ' Further discussion of water-level fluctuations 

will be published later in reports on Investigations that are still In 

progress.

EAST-CENTRAL AND EAST TEXAS

Water-level fluctuations have been observed In wells extending frott 

Austin northeast to the Texas-Louisiana boundary line, along and across 

outcrops of most of the Important water-bearing sands of Tertiary age. 

As observations of these fluctuations have been made only since 1938 the 

records are too meager to permit Interpretations of the significance of 

the fluctuations* Th3 records Indicate, however, that the water levels 

have declined slightly in most of the observation wells In Angelina, 

Bastrop, Cherokee, Gregg, Lee, Nacogdoches, Navarro, Panola, Robertson, 

and Shelby Counties.

HIGH PLAINS

About 600 observation wells are in the Texas High Plains. Some of 

these wells are in districts where heavy withdrawals of ground water are 

being made for irrigation; others are in areas adjacent to pumped districts; 

and still others are remote from areas of heavy withdrawals. The fluctuations of water level to the early part of 1939 have been discussed by 

White, Broadhurst, and Lang In two mimeographed reports. / ' During

1939, water levels showed average net declines in the heavily pumped 

districts as follows: Plainview, comprising parts of Hale, Ployd, and 

Swisher Counties, about 1.5 feet; Hereford, comprising parts of Deaf 

Smith, Castro, and Farmer Countieg, about 0,8 foot} Muleshoe, comprising 

parts of Bailey and Lamb Countieg, about 0.7 foot; and Lubbock-Littlefield, 

comprising parts of Lubbock, Hockley, and Lamb Counties, 0.7 foot. In 

areas surrounding the heavily pumped districts there was a general but 

small decline. In areas remote from pumping, the water levels in some 

wells rose slightly whereas In other wells they declined slightly; but 

they showed a small average decline.

SOOTH TEXAS

Duval County. In 1939 there were in this county 44 observation 

wells, of which 22 were less than 100 feet deep and 22 were from 100 to 

340 feet deep. The records for most of these wells extend back to 1933;

for the others, to 1931. Results of the observations from 1931 to 1936

4/ have been discussed by Sayre. '

Outstanding features of the rainfall record, as disclosed by records 

of the U. S. Weather Bureau at Alice, in Jim Veils County, and Falfurrias, 

In Brooks County, are as follows: July, August, and September, 1933, were 

exceptionally wet, as the precipitation during these 3 months amounted to 

23,36 Inches at Falfurrlas and to 15.74 inches at Alice; the summer of 

1935 was also exceptionally wet. The rainfall from 1937 to 1939 was much 

below average. Water levels in nearly all the wells show the effects of 

variations in rainfall, as can be seen in the pronounced rises that 

followed the heavy rains in 1933 and 1935.

Water levels in most of the shallow wells were slightly higher in 

1939 than in 1933, but in a few of the wells they were somewhat lower. 

In most of the county the water levels in the deep observation wells were 

slightly higher in 1939 than in 1933. In the extreme southeastern part 

of the county, however, they were much lower in 1939, owing, it is believed, 

to withdrawals of ground water for irrigation in an adjacent area in the 

northern part of Brooks County near Falfurrias and In the southern part of 

Jim Kells County.

Brooks County. Water levels in shallow wells in the northern part 

of the county, mostly in the vicinity of Falfurrias, declined from 1933 to 

1939,- when the average net decline amounted to about 9 feet. A part of

the decline, however, was due to the fact that the water-level measurements

in most of the wells were started late In September 1933, when the stage 

of the water table was exceptionally high as a result of recharge from 

the heavy rains of July, August, and the early part of September. In 

the southern part of the county the water levels In the shallow wells 

were about the same stage In 1939 as Iri 1933. Water levels In the deep 

wells In the vicinity of Falfurrlas are chiefly Influenced by Irrigation. 

Water-leval measurements, usually made In January long after the end of 

the Irrigation season, indicate a very small net change In water level 

from 1933 to 1936. Prom 1936 to 1938 there was, however, an average net 

decline of about 2.5 feet. Measurements made In October 1939 Indicate 

that there may have been a further decline during 1939 t but as no measurements were made In January 1939 a close comparison with previous measurements Is not possible; therefore the further decline during 1939 cannot be 

ascertained.

Jim Walls County. Periodic measurements of water level in 10 selected 

wells have been made since the summer of 1933 In south-central and southern 

parts of Jim Wells County. Of these wells, 7 are less than 100 feet deep, 

1 is 125 feet, 1 Is 475 feet, and 1 Is 629 feet.

Records show that water levels In the shallow wells fluctuate with 

the rainfall, for the water levels rose sharply In all of them after the 

heavy rains of 1933 and 1935. The water levels in some of the wells were 

lower'In October 1939 than In October 1933 and In others they were slightly 

higher. One of the deep wells showed a net decline In water level of 1.75 

feet during the 7-year period and the other showed a net decline of about 

7 feet. These wells presumably are affected by pumping for irrigation in 

the Palfurrias area In northern Brpoks and southern Jim Wells Counties.

Kleberg County. Well measurements In this county were started in the 

winter of 1932-33. Results of the measurements to 1935 have been reported 

by Livlngston and Bridges . °-' The report reveals a pronounced decline in 

water levels from the time Irrigation began in 1904 to March 1935. Water 

levels continued to decline from March 1935 to April 1939, during which 

time the 16 observation wells for which good records are available 

displayed an average net decline of about 3.5 feet.

BALOONES FAULT ZONE

Water-level observations in the Balconea fault zone, which comprises 

parts of Bexar, Oomal, Guadalupe, Haya, Kinney, Travis, Uvalde, and 

Val Verde Counties, were started in 1929, when observations were first 

made on wells in Uvalde and Medina Counties. In 1932, observations were 

begun in Bexar County, and in 1937 they were extended to include Kinney, 

Comal, Hays, Travls, Guadalupe, and Val Verde Countiee. Most of the 

observation wells in this area tap water in the Edwards limestone, which 

is the source of the water discharged by the large springs of the Balcones 

fault zone in Travls, Hays, Comal, Bexar, Uvalde, Kinney, and Val Verde 

Counties, of the public and industrial water supplies of San Antonio and 

several large towns, and of most of the water used for irrigation in 

Uvalde and Bexar Counties. The water enters the limestone in a zone of 

outcrop along the Balcones escarpment, which crosses the northern parts 

of Bexar, Medina, and Uvalde Counties and extends beyond to the east and 

the west of these counties. As the water in nearly all the observation 

Wells is under artesian pressure the water levels in them usually respond 

quickly to heavy rains on the Intake area.

Results of water-level measurements in Uvalde County from 1929 to 

October 1934 are given in Water-Supply Paper 678J-6-/those in Bexar County 

from 1932 to June 1935, In Water-Supply Paper 773-B.-'

Outotanding features of the 10-year record in Uvalde County are the 

rioes of water level in the welle after the heavy rains in May and June 

1930, April and May 1931, July and September 1932, and May to July 1935. 

Similar rises of water level occurred in wells in Bexar and Medina Countiesafter heavy rains in April and May 1935, Since 1936 the general trend of 

water levels in most of the wells has been downward; water levels In wells 

In Uvalde and Kinney Counties, however, showed moderate rises in the fall 

of 1939. In Uvalde County the highest stages recorded during the 10 years 

of observation were in 1932, 1933, and 1936. The lowest stages occurred 

In the winter and spring of 1929-30. Water levels in all the wells for 

which records are available were materially higher in 1939 than in 1929. 

In Bexar and Medina Counties the highest stages were reached in 1936, and 

the lowest in the winter of 1934-35. The average stage in the fall of 1939

was slightly above the average in the winter of 1954-55.________________

Records of water-level fluctuations in the wells in Val Verde, Kinney, 

Guadalupe, Comal, Hays, and Travis Counties are too short to permit a 

critical analysis.

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimmit and Zavala Counties; the Winter Garden district. Pumping from 

wells for the irrigation of winter vegetables and fruits and summer feed 

crops has been made on a comparatively large scale in this area during the 

past 20 years. The Carrizo sand, from which nearly all the water is derived, 

crops out in a belt about 1 to 7 miles wide extending across the western 

part of Dimmit County, the western and northern parts of Zavala County, and 

parts of eastern Maverick and southern Uvalde Counties. The sand averages 

about 200 feet in thickness and dips generally to the east and southeast, 

and the belt in which it can be reached within a depth of 1,000 feet 

averages about 15 miles wide. The water supply in the sand comes from rainfall on the outcrop area and from the seepage from streams that .cross the 

outcrop. Ground-water level measurements in this area were started in 1929 

and 1930. The results to September 1933 are discussed in mimeographed 

reports ' /prepared by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the Texas State Board of Water Engineers.

The fluctuations of water level from 1929 to 1939 are fully discussed 

in a report on ground-water resources of the area, which is in preparation.

Outstanding features of the 10-year record are as follows: On the outcrop area in wells that are remote from heavy pumping the water levels show 

relatively little seasonal or yearly fluctuation and have changed only 

slightly during the decade. Where pumping has been fairly heavy on or near 

the outcrop, a decline amounting to several feet has been in progress. Down 

the dip, the lowest stages in water level during the 10-year period were 

recorded in the late winter and spring of 1929-30 and 1931-32, and the highest stages were recorded in the late summers of 1931, 1932, and 1933 after 

the exceptionally heavy rains in 1931 and 1932. The water levels gradually 

declined from the peak in the summers of 1931-33. In the winter and spring 

of 1938-39 and the summer of 1937, however, they were in general higher 

than during corresponding periods in 1929-30.

EL PASO COUNTY 

By A. N. Sayre

The water levels in 37 selected wells in the El r-aso area were measured 

once a month during 1939, and the water levels in 3 others wells 41, 51, 

and 75b were observed continuously by means of automatic water-stage 

recorders installed on them.

The average 'daily pumpage during 1939 was 16,900,000 gallons, as compared with 16,234,000 gallons during 1938. The smallest pumpage occurred 

during January, when it averaged. 12,100,000 gallons a day; the largest 

occurred during June, when the daily average was 23,200,000 gallons. The 

daily pumpage during July 22,592,000 gallons was nearly as large. In 

the El Paso area in 1939 the total pumpage was about 6,183,000,000 

gallons, of which the El Paso Water Department pumped 3,187,000,000 

gallons from 12 wells 676,921,000 gallons from the Montana well field, 

1,112,000,000 gallons from wells in the downtown area, and 1,398,141,000 

gallons from wells in the Mesa well field.

The pumpage from two of these well fields showed great differences 

from that in 1938, and these differences are reflected in changes in water 

levels in and about the respective fields. The pumpage in the Montana well 

field in 1939 was about two-thirds of the pumpage in 1938, and the water 

levels in 10 wells in the area of influence averaged 3.6 feet higher at 

the end of 1939 than at the end of the preceding year. The pumpage in 

1939 in the downtown area was about the same as in 1938, and water levels 

declined in 8 wells, whereas they rose in 3 wells. However, the average 

of the water levels in the 11 wells declined 0.34 foot during the year. 

In the Mesa field the pumpage was about one-third greater in 1939 than it 

was in 1938, and the water levels in 8 wells in the area affected by the 

pumping declined an average of 1.54 feet.

In the following tables the water levels are expressed In feet above 

mean sea level. Hell numbers correspond to those in Water-Supply Paper 

817 except for those added to the program since 1937. The highest and 

lowest water levels on record for each well, except as noted in this 

report, are given in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845.

I/ The pumpage data for C. Juarez were not available at the time 

this report was written, and it was assumed that the pumpage was the same 

aa in 1938.

ELM CREEK AND DEER CREEK AREAS OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

The observation-well program in the Elm Creek and Deer Creek areasnear Temple, Tex., was continued in 1939 by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. Measurements of water 

level by the wetted-tape method were made weekly in 15 wells; continuous 

records for all or part of 1939 were obtained for 6 other wells by means 

of automatic water-stage recorders.

The average of the water levels in the wells was 11.52 feet above the 

assumed datum planes on December 30, 1938, and 9.17 feet on December 28, 

1939 a decline of 2.35 feet in the year. In 1938 there was an average 

net decline of 3.91 feet. The average stage of the water levels at the 

end of 1939 was the lowest on record for that time of year. It was more 

than 8 feet below the average stage at the end of 1936 and about 0.8 foot 

below that at the end of 1934.

The ground-water investigation in Utah was contim sd during 1939 

in financial cooperation with the State Engineer. Fifty percent of the 

cost of the project was supplied by the State of Utah through the State 

Engineer's office, and the State Engineer made available to the writers 

the data collected by his office on ground water in the State, particularly the number, location, and altitude of wells. Detailed investigations of the geology and ground-water- resources of Cedar City Valley, 

Parowan Valley, and the Beryl district in Escalante Valley all in 

Iron County were continued, and a preliminary report on the projects 

was begun. The State-wide program of observations of ground-water level 

was expanded to include 935 wells. Periodic measurements were made of 

the water levels or artesian pressure in 830 of the wells during the 

year, and 160 miscellaneous taeasuraments were made in the other 105 wells. 

A total of 6,012 individual measurements of water level or artesian 

pressure was made in 1939. The following tabulation shows the distribution, by counties, of the observation wells in Utah and the number of 

measurements made in them in 1939.

The State Engineer, in connection with his administration of ground 

water in Utah, continued to collect data in 1939 on wells, drains, and 

tunnels. He reports that, as of January 1, 1940, information had been 

obtained on 25,040 wells in the 24 counties for which water levels are 

given in this report. Measurements were made in 1939 in an average of 

about one of each 28 wells in the 24 counties. Records for an average 

of about one of each 43 wells were available for a comparison of groundwater levels in 1939- with those in.previous years. Records were obtained 

for a part or all of the year from 30 wells equipped with automatic 

recording gages.

In addition to the measurements of water level or artesian pressure 

made In connection with the cooperative Investigation with the State 

Engineer, Mr. T. P. Wentz, Provo River Water Commissioner, and the United 

States Bureau of Reclamation made observations of water levels In wells 

In Wasatch and Summit Counties; and Mr. Henry R. Watson, working under 

the direction of Mr. S. T. Hardlng, consulting engineer for the Board of 

(Utah Lake) Canal Presidents, made observations of water levels In wells 

In Wasatch County. Records of these observations are not Included In this 

report.

A summary of the net changes In water level In observation wells In 

Utah In 1939, a comparison with net changes In 1936, 1937, and 1938, and 

the approximate number of wells In each county are given In the following 

table. The summary does not Include all the wells that are being measured 

periodically, -because a yearly comparison of the changes of water level In 

some of them could not be made, and the location or Individual characteristics of other wells did not Justify their Inclusion. Net changes In water 

level are based on measurements made during the fall and winter of each 

year, chiefly on those made-In December. In most valleys, particularly 

In- the more Intensively developed parts of the valleys, the observation 

wells have been selected to give a more or less uniform areal distribution 

regardless of the number of wells In the valley. Thus, the tabulated net 

rlee or decline of water level during each year Is the mathematical average 

of changes of water level In the observation wells In each valley, and may 

be considerably different from the changes of water level In wells In any

200000-40 48
764 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

particular part of the valley. For example, the average net decline of 

water level in 1939 in 68 wells in Cedar City Valley, Iron County, was 

0.7 foot, whereas the average net decline in 33 wells in the main pumping 

district was 1.3 feet, and in 35 wells outside the pumping district it was 

only 0.1 foot; the average net rise of water level in 31 wells in Parowan 

Valley during 1939 was 0.6 foot, whereas in 11 wells in the main pumping 

district the rise was 0.9 foot, and in 20 wells outside the pumping 

district it was only 0.5 foot. A more detailed analysis of the average 

net rise or fall of water level in each area indicates that the net change 

of water level in individual wells may range considerably from the average 

net change over the entire area. For example, there was an average net 

decline in water level of 0.8 foot in 11 wells in 1939 in the East Shore 

area, Box Elder County, although the net change of water level in individual 

wells ranged from a decline of 2.9 feet in one well to a rise of 3.4 feet 

in another well. The foregoing explanation has been made in an effort to 

prevent the drawing of erroneous conclusions from the following summary 

table.

766 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAH PRESSURE, 1939

The trend of the ground-water levels In Utah, as shown by the changes 

of water level In observation wells, was downward In 1939. The average 

water level In the State declined In 25 of the 32 areas for which comparative figures are available. The average water level was essentially 

unchanged In three areas, of which "Weber County Is the most developed, 

and It rose In four areas. In the Mllford district, Beaver County, the 

average water level rose 0.1 foot, and In Parowan Valley, Iron County, it 

rose 0.6 foot. Both are areas In which there Is considerable pumping from 

wells. The other two areas showing average net rises In water level are 

relatively unimportant as to ground-water development.

During 1939 the greatest average net decline 3.9 feet occurred In 

Juab Valley, Juab County The average net decline In the part of Davis 

County south of Parmington an Intensively developed ground-water area 

was 3.7 feet. In Utah Lake Valley, Utah County, and In Jordan River 

Valley, Salt Lake County, which contain the greatest number of wells per 

county of all counties In the State, the water levels In the observation 

wells declined an average of 1.9 feet and 1.0 foot, respectively.

The lack of precipitation during the last part of 1939 probably caused 

to a considerable extent the wide-spread decline In ground-water levels. 

The program relating to the control of flowing wells to prevent waste was 

actively prosecuted by the State Engineer during 1939, and as a result 

large quantities of ground water were conserved for future use. Had not 

this waste been prevented the decline In water levels In many areas would 

have been greater.

Of the 27 ground-water areas in Utah for which comparative data are 

available, only three had an average net decline In water level for the 

period 1936 to 1939, Inclusive: Erda district, Tooele County, 1.5 feet; 

Chicken Creek Valley, Juab County, 0.4 foot; and Beryl district, Iron 

County, 0.2 foot. Tne net rise of ground-water level from 1936 to 1939 

Inclusive In the other 24 areas was considerable. The largest net rise 

was 11.1 feet, In the artesian wells In Ogden Valley, Weber County, where 

the head was raised as a result of the construction of the reservoir. The 

next was 8.3 feet, in the Milford pumping district, Beaver County. The 

ground-water levels In the State during 1935 were probably as low as, or 

lower than, at any other time on record. This was the result of a succession of years with deficient precipitation culminating in the drought of 

1934, and Increased ground-water development. The records of water levels
UTAH 767

show that during the last 4 years the average ground-water level In only 

one relatively important area, the Erda district, declined below its 

average stage in 1934 and 1935. The decline in this district may have 

resulted at least in part from subnormal precipitation during the 4 years 

1936 to 1939. Based on records of the United States Weather Bureau, the 

cumulative departure from normal precipitation (48 years of record) over 

the entire State during this 4-year period was +6.6 inches, whereas the 

cumulative departure from normal precipitation (42 years of record) at 

Tooele, a few miles from the Erda district, was -5.7 inches.

The following measurements of water level and of artesian pressure 

were made by the Geological Survey, except as noted. The tabulation 

Includes all measurements made in 1939 by the Geological Survey In observation wells in Utah. Plowing wells were closed 10 minutes before the 

pressure head was measured. All altitudes given were determined by instrumental leveling by the State Engineer. Observation wells are arranged 

alphabetically by county and numerically within each county. Errors 

discovered in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, and 845 have been corrected In the following tabulation. Descriptive data are given only for those 

wells which have not been described, in the prior publications, unless there 

are corrections or additions.

Hydrographs for more or less typical wells in ground-water areas are 

shown on the following pages for the purpose of illustrating the trend of 

the ground-water levels in the areas.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

By V. C. Pi3hel

!/ The observation-well program In Virginia was continued In 1939. Waterstage recorders were maintained on the Bacon, Roas, Swart Stream, Swart 5, 

and Swart 162 wells, and measurements were made about weekly In the other 

wells. About 700 Individual measurements of water level were made during 

1939.

The precipitation In northern Virginia, as Indicated by records of the 

United States Weather Bureau at Washington, D. C., was 1.95 inches above 

normal for the first 4 months of 1939. In May, however, It was only 0.41 

Inch 3.29 Inches below normal and In July and August It was also considerably below normal. The accumulated departure from normal precipitation to 

the end of August was 4.41 inches. In September and October the precipitation was sufficiently above normal to cause water levels to rise In some 

of the shallow wells; but the water levels In deeper wells were not affected. 

The precipitation for the year was 1.62 Inches below normal.

The water level in the Bacon well was 18.89 feet below the measuring 

point on January 1, 1939. The high precipitation In January and February 

caused the water level to rise 3.90 feet by March 6. The water level 

changed very little during March and April and was 0.05 foot lower on May 1 

than on March 6. In May It declined 1.06 feetj In June, 1.18 feet} In 

July, 0.98 foot; In August, 0.62 foot; and in September, 0.47 foot. The 

water level, which had risen 1.46 feet by November 22, was down to 0,71 

foot by December 31. At the end of the year It was 0.12 foot higher than 

at the beginning of the year.

The water level In the Bell well was 5.84 feet below the measuring 

point on January 1. It rose about 3 feet during January and February but 

declined about 7.5 feet during the summer. It rose to the highest observed 

stage of the year on October 2 but then declined during October, November, 

and December* It had a net decline of 1.13 feet In the year*

I/ See Water-Supply papers 777, 817, 840, and 845.

VIRGINIA 905

The water level in the Glendale farm well was 15.26 feet below the 

measuring point on January 1. By February 5 it had risen to 6.80 feet 

the highest stage on record but it had declined 0.07 foot by February 12 

and 4.33 feet more by February 19. It continued the downward trend until 

about October 8, at which time it reached the lowest stage on record; it 

was then 1.65 feet lower than on January 1 and 8.45 feet lower than on 

February 5. The precipitation in the fall resulted in a rise in water 

level of 1.77 feet by December 31. The water level was 0.12 foot higher 

at the end of the year than at the beginning.

The water level in the Halls Hill School well was 27.25 feet below 

the measuring point on January 1. It had declined 0.28 foot by January 

23 but had risen 5.45 feet by May 1. It then continued to decline, with 

the exception of minor rises in October and December, for the remainder 

of the year. There was a net rise of 0.16 foot in water level in the 

year.

The water level in the Ross well followed the trend of that in the 

Halls Hill School well, but it reached its highest stage of the year 

about the middle of March, which was about ! & months prior to the time 

the water level in the Halls Hill School well reached its highest stage. 

The water level in the well was 26.04 feet below the measuring point on 

January 1. It had risen 3.84 feet by the middle of March but then 

declined 4.33 feet by December 31 to the lowest stage since December 

1931. It had a net decline of 0.49 foot in the year.

Water levels in the Bacon, Glendale farm, and Halls Hill School 

wells had an average net rise of 0.13 foot in 1939, whereas the water 

level in the Ross well declined 0.49 foot.

New shelters were built for the Swart wells during June 1939. An 

accompanying table gives the altitude of the new measuring points with 

respect to bench mark 2 of the Bacon well. This bencfc. mark was arbitrarily assigned an altitude of 500 feet.

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA 

By D. J. Cederstrom

Periodic measurements of water levels in selected wells in southeastern 

Virginia were begun in 1938 in connection with a cooperative ground-water 

investigation by the Federal Geological Survey and the Virginia Geological 

Survey, Arthur Bevan, State Geologist. The area under investigation consists of that part of the Coastal Plain of Virginia lying south of the 

James River, and it includes eastern Chesterfield and Dinwiddie Counties 

and all of Prince George, Surry, Sussex, Southampton, Isle of Wight, 

Nansemond, Norfolk, and Princess Anne Counties.

The most productive wells tap water in Cretaceous sands, which underlie a Miocene marl in most places but which crop out along the Pall Zone. 

The Cretaceous sands and clays feather out at the Pall Zone but thicken 

eastward to about 1,600 feet at Norfolk. They lie at successively greater 

depths toward the east and at Norfolk are encountered in wells about 600 

feet below the land surface.

Many domestic and industrial wells and some public supplies are developed from the Cretaceous sands. At Hopewell, heavy pumping for industrial purposes is taking place. In the vicinities of Franklin and Courtland, in Southampton County, and in the area bordering the James River in 

Sussex, Isle of Wight, and Nansemond Counties much water is being discharged 

from the formation through flowing wells. The daily discharge of flowing 

wells in the area bordering the James River is estimated to be at least 

4,000,000 gallons.

In the vicinity of Norfolk some water for industrial use and for irrigation is obtained by wells, generally less than 70 feet deep, from the 

Miocene sand and shell formations. Throughout the State many shallow farm 

wells are developed in terrace formations.

Five-wells were being measured periodically at the end of 1939, four 

of them at weekly intervals and the fifth at monthly intervals. Two of the 

wells are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. A total of 90 

individual measurements of water level were made in 1939.
912 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

*

There are many publications that deal with the ground-water resources 

of the area..-'

Water-level measurements are available for only a part of the year, 

and hence only a cursory interpretation of them can be made.

Well 36, in Chesterfield County, showed a net decline in water level 

of 0.62 foot from October 10 to December 31, 1939. The well is at the 

Pall Zone, and the water in it, which is under water-table conditions, 

probably fluctuates mainly in response to precipitation.

Well 56, in Prince George County, taps water under artesian pressure 

in Cretaceous sands. The fluctuations of water level in it are apparently 

caused mostly by pumping for industrial use nearby. The first measurement 

of water level was made May 29, near the beginning of the season of heavy 

pumping. The water level declined more or less steadily from that date to 

October 16, when the lowest stage of the year was reached 5.57 feet below 

the level of May 29. The water level then fluctuated irregularly until 

about November 6, when a rise began that lasted through the rest of the 

yean on December 25 it was 9.15 feet higher than on October 16 and 3.58 

higher than when measurements were begun. It is believed that the water 

level at the end of the year was still considerably depressed by the pumping of wella nearby. Throughout the period of record it was subject to 

violent fluctuations that were caused apparently by short cessations of 

pumping from wells nearby.

The fluctuations of water level in well 51, in Prince George County, 

are similar to those of well 56 but are not so large.

Prom June 14 to November 9, the fluctuations of water level in well 

42, in Prince George County, appear to reflect the rate of withdrawal at 

Hopewell, The progressive lowering of water level that began December 5, 

however, may represent the enlargement of the cone of depression about 

Hopewell that resulted from heavy summer pumping, or it may be the result 

of subnormal rainfall along the Pall Zone.

VIRGINIA 913

The precipitation in the first part of 1939 was below normal. On 

August 15 the maximum accumulated departure for the year was reached 2.9 

inches below normal. On October 10, the first day on which well 36, in 

Chesterfield County, was measured, the accumulated departure was 0.1 inch 

above normal. Weekly rainfall was subnormal for the remainder of the 

year with the exception of the week ending November 7, when it was 1.9 

inches above normal, and at the end of the year (December 26) an accumulated departure of -2.5 inches existed. It is believed that the effects 

of precipitation are reflected in the fluctuations of water level in well 

36; but in the other wells, situated at considerable distances from the 

outcrop area of the water-bearing strata, the effects of precipitation, 

if present, are masked by variations in water level that are caused by 

pump i.n£?

WASHINGTON

By A. M. Piper

During 1939, continuing records of water level at observation wells 

In the State of Washington were collected by the Geological Survey In 

connection with four cooperative projects. The purpose and status of 

these four projects are described In the following paragraphs.

At Tacoma, In Pierce County, the Investigation to determine the 

feasibility of more extensive use of ground water for municipal purposes 

was carried far toward completion In cooperation with the Department of 

Public Utilities of the city. Some records of water level In wells have 

been given In two preliminary reports; I/ current records will be incorporated in a forthcoming general report.

A State-wide canvass of public water supplies from wells and springs 

was completed in cooperation with the Department of Conservation and 

Development of the State of Washington. In conjunction with this canvass, 

a small beginning was made on a State-wide net of permanent observation 

wells; other wells will be added to this net as facilities permit. Records 

of water level from this" project will be given In a separate report. 5/

In Spokane County the Investigation to determine means for most 

effectively using the large underflow In the Spokane River Valley was 

continued through 1939. For this area, another report 5/ describes 

general features of geography, geology, and ground-water hydrology; It 

also describes the observation wells and gives data on water levels In 

observation wells through 1938. These data are unique for the Pacific 

Horthwest in that they afford continuous records covering a term of 10 

years or more for many wells. Records of water level for 1939 in 22 

wells In the State of Washington are given in the following pages. These 

current records were collected in cooperation with the State Department 

of Conservation and Development and in collaboration with the Water 

Division of the city of Spokane and with the Washington Water Power Co.

916 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1939

The measurements were made by G. A. La Rocque, Jr., of the Geological 

Survey, A. H. Schafer of the Water Division of the city; and by C. R. 

Meils and W. E. Johnson of the power company.

In this area, water-level recorders were operated throughout 1939 

on 3 wells and during a third of the year on a fourth well. In addition, 

float gages were maintained at 3 wells and water-level observations made 

weekly. In the remaining 15 observation wells, the water level was 

measured once in 3 weeks on the average. In all, 804 measurements of 

water level were made during the year, in addition to the check measurements at wells equipped with water-level recorders. At the end of the 

year, 21 observation wells were being maintained in the area.

Throughout 1939 the water level was somewhat lower than the average 

in all observation wells of the Spokane Valley; on an average, the highest water level observed in 1939 was 4,72 feet below the maximum yet 

recorded and the lowest water level observed was only 2.46 feet above 

the minimum. The following table summarizes water-level fluctuations 

in 1939:

In the basin of the South Fork of the Palouse River, in Whitman 

County, Wash., and Latah County, Idaho, the observation-well program 

initiated by the Soil Conservation Service In 1934 was continued in 1939 

through cooperation between the Geological Survey, the Soil Conservation 

Service, and the Flood Control Coordinating Committee. Water-level measurements were continued throughout 1939 at all 37 water-table wells that had 

been under observation in the baain on December 31, 1938. Of these, 27 

wells are in Whitman. Water-level records for these 27 wells are given 

on the following pages. A total of 1,022 water-level measurements were 

made during the year by or under the direction of E. Z. Gray of the Geological Survey. A water-level recorder was operated throughout the year on 

well 23 A. In addition, water-level measurements were made weekly In 8
WASHINGTON 917

wells, monthly in 6 wells, and weekly or monthly in the 12 wells on the 

Soil Erosion Experiment Station farm. Water-level measurements were continued also in the 3 observation wells in Whitman County that tap confined 

(artesian) water. At these wells, in which water levels were measured twice 

a month throughout the year, 65 measurements were made.

The range in water level during 1939 in all 27 water-table wells of 

the area was greater than the average. In 7 wells the water level rose 

higher and in 6 wells fell lower than any stage heretofore observed in those 

particular wells} in 2 wells both new maximum and new minimum water levels 

occurred during the year. The following table summarizes these fluctuationst

COON CHEEK ABBA OP SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE 

By V. C. Fishel and C. C. Yonkers

The observation-well program in the Coon Creek area in Vernon, Monroe, 

and La Crosse Counties, Wis., was continued through part of 1939 by the 

Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, 

L. B. Cummings, project manager. Water-level measurements were made about 

weekly in 14 wells until the latter part of September, when they were temporarily discontinued. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained 

on wells 8 and 9. About 550 individual measurements of water level were 

made in the observation wells by E. Couch, Victor Kilmer, H. S. Peterson, 

and F. L. Bobbins, of the Soil Conservation Service.

The measurements of 10 wells (2-4,8-14) were used for computing average 

water levels for 1939. Water levels in the wells were generally higher 

during 1938 than during the preceding 4 years, and on January 1, 1939, they 

averaged about 11.0 feet above the assumed datum planes. Water levels had 

only minor fluctuations in January and February, but in March they rose an 

average of about 0.9 foot; they declined an average of 0.3 foot until 

April 13 and then rose 0.4 foot until April 22, on which date they reached 

the highest average stage of the year; and then they declined an average 

of 1.3 feet until September 29, when measurements were discontinued. Prom 

January 1 to September 29, 1939, they had an average net decline of 0.4 

foot.
