WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1943

Part 6. SOUTHWESTERN STATES 

INTRODUCTION

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

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure

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

supply wells and springs and to maintain th,e flow of streams during periods 

of fair weather. Water levels in wells register th* stages of these

4

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

Irrigation, or Industrial uses,'and the extent to which they are replenished In seasons of abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes In 

pressure recorded on flowing wells indicate depletion or replenishment of 

the artesian reservoirs.

Annual publication of records by Geological, Survey

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure 

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

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

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

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

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

the country. Hawaii Is Included in the southwestern section. (See fig. 1.) 

The following table gives the numbers of these reports. This series of

water-supply papers is In a sense an inventory, year by year, of the

 , i 

ground-water supplies of such parts of the country as have been covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the southwestern States and gives records of 

water level and artesian pressure In about 1,793 observation wells of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies In Arizona, California, Hawaii, 

and New Mexico. Of these wells, 72 ate equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records of water, 

level are given In this volume, inducting those for the years before 1943. 

For wells whose previous records have been published this volume gives only 

the current records. If a complete description of a well has been published 

In a previous report, only the well number or the-well number and a brief 

Identifying description are given In this report. The numbers In parenthese8x 

Immediately following a well number are those of the water-supply papers In 

which earlier records of that well are given and the pages on which they 

appear. An asterisk Indicates that a description of the well Is given In 

the paper whose number Is so marked. This report Includes about 12,280 Individual determinations of water level and artesian pressure.

Land-surface datum

Hitherto, In Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian 

heads for some wells have been given In feet above or below the measuring 

points and for other wells In feet above or below sea level or above or 

below various assumed datum planes. It was considered Inadvisable to adopt 

a standard procedure In expressing water levels and artesian heads until 

after a period of trial with datum planes of different kinds. The time has 

now come, however, for the adoption of a .uniform practice as to datum In 

making the records to be published In the annual water-level reports. It
IHTRODUCTIQH

has become evident that the water levels In each well should be expressed 

with reference to a permanent datum plane established for that well In order 

to preserve the continuity of the record If the measuring point Is changed. 

The chief objection to the use of datum planes other than the land surface 

has been that the significance of the water* level with respect to the land

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

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian pressure In observation wells In 1943. The shaded section represents ,the part 

of the country covered by this volume.

surface Is thereby concealed. It appears, however, that this objection can 

be overcome by using a precise datum plane that approximates the land surface.

The adoption of land-surface datum planes as the standard to be used In 

expressing water levels and artesian heads will not prevent the use of other 

datum planes for the summary tables and for maps and graphs In the annual 

water-level reports or In other reports. The use of the sea-level datum and 

the 10-foot datum planes are to be encouraged for purposes of study and Interpretation, but the land-surface datum planes will be used exclusively for 

publishing original records. Bench marks must be established, as heretofore, 

near each observation well to prevent the loss of the precise record If the
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

measuring point or the well itself is destroyed. New data as to the position of the measuring point and of the bench marks, in feet above or below 

land-surface datum plane, will be published in the appropriate annual 

reports.

In accordance with the above, the water levels and artesian heads for 

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

datum planes. If the water levels or artesian heads are referred to landsurface datum for the first time, a conversion factor is given in the 

descriptive matter preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of the 

older and newer records. TOierever the conversion factor is given in the 

report for 1942, it is not repeated in this report.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells In order to make available current information on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected because 

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

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

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1942 the network 

included about 130 wells in 40 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942; the other 90 were selected from 

wells measured regularly in connection with cooperative ground-water investigations. The coverage of the country is still far from adequate, and 

it is expected that stwie wells not now included will be added ,to the network 

from time to time.

General summary of changes in/ ground-water level-in 1943 in the 

southwestern part of the United States

In 1943 the precipitation in Arizona, California, and New Mexico was 

above normal, but in Hawaii it was below normal. The fluctuations of both 

water level and artesian pressure in wells depend, however, on many factors 

besides the amount of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells 

there are fluctuations caused by differences in the rate of pumping or 

artesian flow from other wells in the area, but most of the observation 

wells are not noticeably affected by pumping or artesian flow. JThe general 

trends t>f the water levels and artesian pressure in Arizona, California, 

and New Mexico in 1943 are discussed under these States, and the trends in 

Hawaii are discussed in the text on that Territory.

PROGRAM OP WORK 

By S. P. Turner

The investigation of ground-water resources in Arizona, which was begun in 1939 and of which a program of water-level measurements in observation wells forms an essential part, was continued in 1943 by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the 

State Land Comnissioner of Arizona. In Safford Valley, until July 1, the 

Office of Indian Affairs, United States Department of the Interior, also 

cooperated, in this investigation the Geological Survey has concentrated 

its efforts on making an inventory of the greatly increased pumpage in the 

State due to war activities and on determining the effect of this pumpage 

on the ground-water levels in the following areas: The Santa Cruz River 

Basin in Final, Pima, and Santa Cruz Counties; the Gila River Valley in 

Final, Graham, and Greenlee Counties; and the Queen Creek area in Haricopa 

and Final Counties. Making the pumping inventory involves two preliminary 

steps: First, the discharge of each well is measured as often as possible, 

and second, the relation of the discharge to the power input is determined. 

With these two factors, the total pumpage from the well can be computed. 

If the power is generated from electricity or natural gas, it will be 

metered and the input thereby ascertained. If no record of the power input 

is available, however, the operator of the pump is asked to keep a record 

of the length of time, in hours, that the pump is in operation, and this 

record is used to estimate the power input. For the few wells for which 

no record either of power input or pump operation can be obtained, the 

pumpage is estimated on the basis of the acreage irrigated and the amounts 

of water used to irrigate similar crops on neighboring farms.

The amount of water pumped for irrigation, municipal supplies, and 

other uses was greater in 1943 than in 1942. The percentage of increase 

in each of the areas studied is as follows:

6
ARIZONA

Percent

Oraham County (Safford Valley) ....... 50

Greenlee County (Duncan Valley). ...... 450

Marioopa County (Queen Creek area) ...... 11

Pina County (Santa Cruz Basin) ....... 16

Final County (Santa Cruz Basin). ...... S

Santa Cruz County ............. 7

Contributing factors to the increased pumpage were below-normal precipitation during 1942 and 1943, increased crop production to meet wartime 

demands, and a decrease in the cost of power in certain areas, which eneouraged the planting of winter vegetables.

Attention should be called to the fact that most of the areas that 

are depending solely on ground-water supplies for their Irrigation needs 

are rapidly depleting these supplies by overpumping. On the other hand, 

areas using both surface and ground water for irrigation are not depleting 

the% ground-water supplies, because part of the surface water applied to. 

the land is recharged to the ground-water reservoirs, thus partially 

counteracting the effect of pumping.

The Geological Surrey continued in 1943, as in 1942, to cooperate with 

the United States Engineer Office, War Department, on the problem of water 

supplies for army camps and airfields. In addition, several special investigations were made by .the Survey during the year that resulted in increased 

water supplies for mines and industries serving the war effort.

In March the Geological Survey, at the request of the Defense Plant 

Corporation, United States Department of Commerce, and its agent, the 

Phelps-Dodge Corporation, began a project designed to determine th,e amount 

of water consumed by. river-bottom plants in the alia River Valley in 

Graham county. As a part of this project, the water levels in many eft the 

observation wells already established in Safford Valley were measured more 

frequently than in earlier years. All measurements made during the year 

in these previously established wells appear in this report.

A preliminary report on an investigation, begun in 1939 in cooperation 

with the State Water Commissioner of Arizona and the United States Engineer 

Office, War Department, of ground-water conditions- in the Santa Cruz Basin 

was issued in May 1943. This report covers the results of the investigation In parts of Plma, Final, and Santa Cruz Counties.

GRAHAM COUNTY (SAPPORD VALLEY) 

By R. L. Cushman

Ground-water investigations in Safford Valley during 1943 by the 

Pederal Geological Survey were carried on under two distinct programs, ' 

namely, the State cooperative program and a program undertaken at the request of the Defense Plant Corporation of the United States Department of 

Commerce. Both these programs are discussed briefly under "Program of 

work," on j'ages 6-8 of this report.

State cooperative program -

The State cooperative program, which is continued from year to year,

consisted In 1943 of the making of water-level measurements, the collection

>

of information to be used In making an inventory of the pumpage in the 

valley, and the operation of the experiment station located just north of 

Safford. Under this program 2,877 water-level measurements wece made during"T;he year in 184 wells, 3 of which are equipped with water-stage 

recorders.

'Defense Plant Corporation program

The program undertaken for the Defense Plant Corporation was begun in 

March 1943 for the purpose of determining the amount of water that might 

be saved by the elimination of the phreatophytes that grow in profusion on 

the flood plain of the Gila River. In order to study the c6nsumptive use 

of water by phreatophytes, a process technically known as evapotranspiration, a specially equipped experiment station was established near Glenbar. 

Here a standard "class A" weather station and 29 sunken tanks filled with 

soil were -Installed. In 12 of the tanks the soil was left unplanted, so
ABIZOHA, GRAHAM COUNTY 9

that the rate and effect of evaporation from'bare soil surfaces could be 

studied; in the remaining 17 tanks the soil was planted with the phreato- , 

"phytes common to the Safford Valley salt cedar or tamarisk, baccharis, and 

cottonwood in order to determine the variations ahd amounts of water Involved in evapotranspiration when water levels are maintained at depths 

of 2, 4, 6, and 8 feet below the ground level.

Also, under this program, studies were made of water levels in the 

Oila Valley lowland between Thatcher and the eastern boundary of the San 

Carlos Indian Reservation, In this area 1,331 observation wells were put 

down especially for this project and 27,336 periodic water-level measurements, ranging from weekly to monthly, were made. As these new wells do 

not come under the continuing State cooperative program,the measurements 

made in them are not included In this report, included, however, are the 

many additional measurements made for the Defense Plant project in the 

wells already established under the continuing program.

Flu6tuatlons of water level

An average of the 2,877 water-level measurements made under the State 

cooperative program shows a 0.9 foot decline in ground-water level In the 

Safford Valley during 1943. Several factors contributed to this decline: 

River flow decreased 26 percent during the year; ground-water putapage increased almost 50 percent (35,000 acre-feet as compared with 10,900 acrefeet in 1942); and there was too little rainfall less than 9 Inches to 

produce recharge; neither was there delayed recharge from the winter of , 

1942, when, as in 1943, the precipitation was decidedly below normal.

Figure 2 consists of graphs showing the fluctuations of water level 

in several typical observation wells in the Safford Valley during the period 

1939-43, the total purapage by months, and the monthly precipitation at 

Safford. These graphs show an early seasonal decline in the average 

ground-water level, -which Is attributed to seepage of water from the 

ground-water reservoir into the river because of low flow and to heavy 

withdrawals beginhing in the latter part" of March, when many irrigation, 

wells were put in operation.

The water level In well 662, situated in the upper or eastern section 

of the valley and not affected by nearby pumping, fluctuated very little. 

A slight downward trend occurred between the first of May and the first of 

August as a result of transpiration by nearby mesqulte and seepage of 

ground water to the river.

The graph of well 597, which is 2 miles west of Solomonsville, illustrates the fluctuations in a heavily pumped area near a canal. The effect 

of a long period of pumping during the summer months may be plainly aeen.

Well 616, south of Safford and near a canal, is away from the Immediate effects of pumping. The graph of this well is interesting because it 

clearly shows the effect of the delayed recharge from the heavy rains that 

fell in the winter of 1940-41 and in September 1941. The water level 

started to rise in June 1941, which was 6 months after the very wet month*

*

of November and December 1940. It rose steadily for 2 months and then 

leveled off. But 6 months after the heavy rains of September 1941 it began 

to rise again, peaked in August 1942, and then declined steadily. This 

delayed recharge to the ground-water reservoir in the Qila River gravels 

was caused by flow from the nearby mountain streams recharging the alluvium at the base of the mountains and thence being slowly transmitted to the 

river gravels. - - .

The graph of well 282, situated near a canal west of Pima, shows 

fluctuations in a well affected by canal and irrigation recharge without 

the immediate counter effect of nearby pumping.

The graph of well 76, at the western end of the cultivated part of . 

the valley, also shows fluctuations in an area at a distance from pumped 

wells. Transpiration by a heavy growth of raesquite nearby caused these 

fluctuations, which were indicated by the chart of the water-stage recorder 

with which, the well is equipped.

OREEKISE COUHTY (DOTCAIT VALLEY)

By R. L. Cushman

The Duncan-Virden Valley, which .lie's along the upper Qila River, includes the Duncan Valley, in Qreenlee County, Aria., and the Virden Valley, 

in Hidalgo County, N. Mex. The records of water levels in TTirden Valley 

are therefore given in the New Mexico section of this volume, although 

conditions affecting ground water in the area as a whole are here discussed. 

In Duncan Valley 53 measurements were made in £2 wells in 1943,"during the 

seasons when the approximate highest and lowest stages in water level .could 

be expected.

Fluctuations of water idvel

The pumpage from irrigation wells in the oWican-Virden Valley during 

the period 1940-43 is shown below. The great Increase in puapage in 1943. 

was caused by low rainfall and the resultant low flow in-the Qila River

and by the increased crop production during the

areas unaffected by pumping. The graph of well! 171 shows a gradual rise

in water level, probably owing to recharge during the wet seasons of 1940 

and 1941, which was delayed in reaching the well because of its slow transmission through the underlying lake beds.

MARICOPA COUNTY (QUEEN CREEK AREA) /

By E. M. Gushing and J. P. Hoatetter

s

The Queen Creek area is in both Maricopa and Final Counties, but as 

the larger part is in Maricopa County, the progress made in .1943 in the 

continuing cooperative investigation of its ground-water resources is discussed under Maricopa County. The water-level measurements for the nine, 

observation wells in Final County, however, are included with those for 

 other wells listed under that county. For the entire area 65 measurements 

were made,in 39 wells during 1943; in Maricopa County. 49 measurements were 

made in 30 wells.

Fluctuations of water level

A comparison of the water-level measurements made in 26 of the observation wells in the Queen Creek area in 1943 with those made in the same wells 

on corresponding days in 1942 shows a gradual downward trend of the water 

table, which averaged more than 3 feet during the year. This decline was 

caused by heavy withdrawals from the ground-water reservoir and indicates 

that they greatly exceeded the recharge. A brief discussion of the 

fluctuations of water level in four typical wells, .as illustrated by graphs 

in figure 4, follows:

The graph of well 23, a shallow dug well -situated in the Queen Creek 

Canyon near the base of the Final Mountains and isolated from irrigation 

pumping, records the rise and fall of the underflow in the sand and gravel 

of the flood channel of Queen Creek. Well 35 is a deep well on the desert 

plain about half & mile from Queen Creek and a few miles downstream from 

the mouth of the canyon. The water level in this well rose slowly during 

1943. This rise was a continuation of the rise that began in the spring of

1941 and shows that recharge is continuing in this part of the Queen Creek 

area. In well .41, at the eastern edge of a heavily pumped section,- the 

water level declined slowly during the year as a result of thip pimping. 

The graph Indicates that there was no recharge in this part of the Queen 

Creek area. The graph of well 261, which is in a section of heavy pumping, 

shows the sane fluctuations in water level as occurred in this well in 

previous years, with a continuation of the downward trend*

The continued downward trend of the water levels in wells 41 and 261, 

as shown by their graphs r and of the water levels in Other wells, as shown 

by the measurements nade in them and given in this report, indicate that 

the annual pumpage in the Queen Creek area greatly exceeds the safe yield 

of underground water ,and that dangerously large amounts are being withdrawn from storage. f

The total pumpage in the Queen Creek area in 1943 was about 173,800 

acre-feet, an increase of 11 percent over 1942 and 110 percent over 1941.

For the purpose of this investigation the Queen Creek area has been 

divided into five irrigation districts, as follows: (1) The Roosevelt

Water Conservation district, which lies between the Salt River Valley Vfater

# 

Users' Eastern canal, on the west, and the"Roosevelt Water Conservation

District canal, on the east. (2) The Bulldog-Superstition area, which adjoins the above-described district on> the east and is separated from it by , 

the Roosevelt Water Conservation District canal; it is bounded on th§ north 

by the Salt River, on the east by the Superstition Kountaina, and on the 

south by an east-west line through the center of T. IS. {3} The Queen 

Creek Irrigation district, which adjoins the Bulldog-Superstition area on 

the south; it is bounded on the west by the Roosevelt Water Conservation 

District canal, on the south by Santan Mountain and the Chandler Heights 

Ci,trus Irrigation district, and on the southeast by the Magmi area.. (4) The 

Chandler Heights Ci'trus Irrigation district, which fonas the eastern part 

of the area lying between Sonoqui Wash and Santan Mountain, (5) The Magma 

area, which lies southeast of the Queen Creek Irrigation. Qlstrict, the 

south line of T. 2 S. forming the boundary between, the two; it is near 

the railroad junction of Magma. ,

The table that follows affords a comparison, by years, of the pumpage ' 

in the five districts during the period 1941-43:

PIMA COUNTY 

By E. M. Gushing and M. J. Scott

Investigations of ground-water resources in the Santa Crtiz River 

Valley in Pima County were continued in 1943 as part of the general cooperative program 'in the. State, discussed on pages 6-8, in which special attention 

was given to determining the effect of heavy pumping on the underground 

reservoir. Measurements of water level were made during the year in 28" 

observation wells monthly in 6 wells considered as typical and twice or

oftener in the remaining 22 wells, in all, 135^ measurements were made.

', Fluctuations of water level

fhe average decline in water level in 1943 for all the wells measxired 

in Pima County was 1.5 feet and was the result of the deficiency in rainfall during the last 2 years and the increase in purapage due to the war 

effort.

The total pumpage during the year for all uses irrigation, municipal, 

and industrial was about 100,-000 acre-feed;, representing an increase of 

16 percent over the pumpage in 1942. The increase was-not, uniform, however, 

in the different parts of the county. Northwest of Tucson, in,an area of 

heavy pumping for irrigation, the pumpage increased 28 percent; south of 

Tucson, in an area where winter vegetables constitute a major crop, the 

pumpage increased 9 percent; and municipal pum-page increased about 10 percent. About 310 wells were considered in the pumpage inventory» of which 

290 were equipped with electric motors and 20 with oil or liquefied-- 

petroleum-gas -engines. - 

A brief discussion of the fluctuations of water 'level.in five of the 

wells that were measured monthly, as illustrated by graphs in figure 5 , 

follows i

Well 1337 is an unused well In an area of heavy pumping about 16 miles 

northwest of Tucson. T^ie water level in this well declined during January 

and February, rose slightly during March, but resumed its downward trend 

in April and continued to decline until the end of July,/when a rise began 

that continued through November. The fact that the water level showed a 

greater, decline in'January and February of 1943 than in January and February of 1942 can be attributed to the 10 percent increase in pumpage during 

these 2,months in 1943. The rise irr water level during the period August 

to November was caused by. recharge from floods on the Santa Cruz River and 

also by a decrease in the requirements for pumped water. At the end of 

1943, however, the water level was 4.08 feet lower than at the beginning of 

that year and 14,.61 feet lower than in December 1939.

Well 2823 is an unused dug well northeast of TUcson-and 500 feet north 

of Rillito Greek. The graph shows that the water level in this well, which 

had been declining since April 1942, continued its downward, trend through- " 

out 1943 except for slight rises in March and August, paused by rScharge 

from floods in Rillito Credk. ' The water level was 3.94 feet lower at the 

end of the year than at the beginning.

Well 4156 is an unused well east of Tueson and Isolated frora heavy 

pumping. The water level in this well fluctuated Very little during 1945, 

but at the end of the year it was 0.50 foot -lower than at the beginning of 

the year and 1.35 feet lower than in December 1959* This moderate decline 

in water level shows the effect of withdrawals over a long period from the 

deeper water-bearing strata, with insufficient recharge.

Well 4579 is 4 miles south of Tucson and about 500 feet east of the 

Santa Crur. River. In 1945 the water level in this well declined during the 

first half of the year, rose in July and August, declined again in September, and rose during the last quarter, but at the end of the year it was

; 

1.72 feet lower than at the beginning. The water level in this wel\ fluctuates in response to the variations in pumpage for the city of Tucson.

Well 8686 is about a quarter of a mile south of Sahuarita, in a heavilypumped area. The decline of its water level during the winter may be attributed to thfr pumpage required for the irrigation of winter vegetables, and 

the rise in July and August to recharge from summer floods in the Santa

Cruz River. The water level was 1.58 feet lower at the end of the year

/ 

than at the beginning.

PHIAL GOflMTY. 

By E. M~. Gushing and J. P. Hostetter

In Final County in 1943 .the continuing cooperative investigation of 

ground-water conditions, which covers several, counties and is diseuaspd in . 

the general introduction to the Arizona section of this volume, consisted 

mainly , as in the other counties concerned, in the making of water-level 

measurements and inventories of pumpage in three areas, two of which extend into other counties, These areas are the Santa Cruz River Basin, 

which extends southward through .Piroa and Santa Cruz Counties; the Queen 

Creek area, which extends westward into Maricopa County; and the part of 

1jhe Oil a River Basin that lies between the month of the S&nt*. Cruz Rivei* 

and the Ashurst-Hayden Dam. The program in the Queen Creek area is discussed under Maricopa County, but the nine wells in the Final County part 

of that area are listed under Final County, together with the other wells v 

in this county whose Water levels were measured during the year. The program in the part of the Santa Cruz Basin, that lies in Pima and Santa Cruz 

Counties is discussed under those counties, under which, also, are given 

the water-level measurements made in wells in that part of the basin.

The well-*ieasureinent program in Final County in 1943 included ^77 wells, 

all of which were measured- at least once during the year, sorae twice or 

oftene.r, and 9 at monthly intervals. In all, 180 measurements were made. 

Fluctuations of water level

The dlscussionv that follows takes into account all wells observed in 

Final County except those in the Queen Creek area* which have already been 

considered in the discussion of the fluctuations of water level in that . 

area, included under Maricopa County, on page 47of this volume. Measurements made in the other observation wells in Final County during the 

12-month period November 1942 to October 1943 show that there was, an average decline in water level of 3.5 feet for this pariod. The decline was 

caused principally by heavy pumpage in parts of the county, but partly, 

also, by a deficie»cy in rainfall. The precipitation at the Casa Qrande .. 

Ruins National Monument during 1943 was only 5.84 inches, which waa 1.2 

inches less than in 1942 and 4.77 Inches below normal. The pumpage in

1943 amounted to 515,000 acre-feet, which represents an increase of 3 

661861 O- 45- 5
60 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

percent over 1942 and 47 percent over 1941. The increase was entirely 

from privately owned wells, as the pumpage fron wells owned by the'San 

Carlos Irrigation District was approximately 8 percent less in 1943 than 

in 1942. About 540 wells were considered in the pumpage inventory, of 

which 400 were equipped with electric motors, 90 with oil or liquefiedpetroleum-gas engines, and 50 with natural-gas engines.

Graphs showing the fluctuations of water level in typical'wells in the 

Casa Grande-Eloy area of the Santa Cruz Basin during the period of investigation are given in figure 6 , as are also graphs showing the pumpage, by 

months; from the ground-water reservoir, and the precipitation, by months, 

at the Casa Orande Ruins National Monument.

Well 890 is an unused well situated a few miles northwest of Casa , 

Orande. The rise in its water level during the summer months may be attributed to recharge from surface water that had been applied to the land for

*

irrigation. The water level was only 0.33 foot lower at the end of the 

year than at the beginning.

Well 975 is an active irrigation well situated about a mile northeast 

of Casa Orande. The graph shows a decline in water level in this well during the irrigation season and recovery after pumping had ceased. At the 

end of 1943 the water level was 0.73 foot lower than at the beginning of 

the year.

Well 1532 is an unused well about 7 miles southwest of Casa Orande, 

in an area of heavy pumping. The water level in this well declined continuously during the first 8 months of 1943 but partially recovered during 

the last 4 months. The measurements show that the water level was 4.57 

feet lower at the end of the year than at the beginning, indicating the 

very heavy withdrawal from ground-water storage during 1943.

Well 1795*is an active irrigation well south of Eloy, in the center 

of an area'of heavy pumping. The graph of this well shows a steep downward trend of the water level during the irrigation season, with only 

partial recovery at the end of that season, so that its stage was 7.66 feet 

lower at the end of 1943 than at the end of 1942. Fron April 1940, when 

measurements in tills well were begun, to the close of 1943 the water level 

had declined 10| feet.

Well 1798 Is an unused well about 6.5 miles southwest of Eloy, near 

the western edge of the heavily pumped Eloy area. The water level In this 

well declined throughout the year, continuing Its constant decline since 

measurements began In April 1940. The total decline since the well was 

first observed has been about 18J feet, which Indicates that most of the 

water pumped In the' Eloy area Is taken from storage. The water level was 

3.23 feet lower at the end of 1943 than at the beginning.

In brief, the water level In wells In Final County In and near the 

areas having a surface-water supply showed little or no decline during the 

year, but the water level In wells in the area depending solely on ground 

water declined markedly as a resxilt of excessive pumping. The riarked decline In the last-naned areas Indicates large withdrawals from ground-water 

storage.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY 

By E. M. Gushing and M. J. Scott

The measurement of water levels in observation wells in Santa Cruz 

County in 1943 and the making of a pumpage inventory formed part of the 

program covering the entire Santa Cruz River Valley, which, in turn, is 

part of the continuing cooperative investigation of ground-water resources 

in Arizona discussed on pages 6-8. The larger part of the Santa Cruz Valley 

lies in Pima and Final Counties, and under those counties, therefore, will 

be found the records on wells situated in that part of the valley.

During the year 41 measurements of water level, distributed among

nine observation wells, were made in Santa Cruz County. Measurements were 

made month 

ing seven.

monthly in two of the wells, and twice during the year in the remainFluctuations of water level

The water levels in the wells measured in Santa Cruz County showed an 

average decline of 0.95 foot during the calendar year 1943. Their downward trend throughout the year is attributed to the facft that precipitation 

was below normal in both 1942 and 1943.

70 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

The total pumpage in 1943 in the Santa Cruz Valley in Santa Cruz 

County was about 15,000 acre-feet, representing an increase of 7 percent 

over 1942. Considered in the pumpage inventory were about 50 wells, 23 of 

 which were equipped with electric motors and 27 with oil or liquef iedpetroleum-gas engines.

Figure 5 , which appears on page 54 , in the Pima County section of 

this report, includes a graph of well 1525, Santa Cruz County. This is a 

domestic well equipped with a windmill. It is about 0.2 mile downstream 

from the Hogales' municipal pumping station, and the graph shows the effect 

of the pumping at this station on the water levels in the surrounding area. 

The water level in well 1525 declined more than 7 feet during the period 

January to- June, but by the end of September, owing to recharge from floods 

on the Santa Cruz River, it had recovered about 5 feet. At the end of the 

year it was 5.67 feet lower than at the beginning of the year and 29.05 

feet lower than in November 1939, when the first measurement was made.

SCOPE OP THE WATER-LEVEL PROGRAM

This report shows the progress made in 1943 in the measurement of 

water levels in California by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with several other Federal, State, 

and local agencies. It also reviews, in general, the other principal 

water-level programs in the State, in which the Geological Survey did not 

participate but concerning which general information is available.

The following table shows, by ground-water areas, under counties, the 

distribution in the State in 1943 of (1) observation wells, (2) waterstage recorders and float gages, and (3) records of tape measurements or 

automatic recorders as given in this report. As may be seen from the 

table, the report lists 6,367 water-level measurements made during 1943, 

distributed among 447 observation wells in 8 of the 58 counties in the 

State. Seven of the eight counties are in the southern part of the State, 

six of them south of the Tehachapi Mountains, as is also the part of the 

seventh covered by this report. The remaining one of the eight counties, 

San Joaquin, .is in the central part of the State. For two counties, San 

Diego and Santa Barbara, water levels in wells in all the principal groundwater areas are given; for the other six counties, water levels in only 

scattered basins or areas are included.

74- WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PBmsURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTEBH STATES

»

In addition to this program in which the Geological Survey partici- /

pated, systematic measurements of water level were made by other agencies 

in several areas in southern California. Measurements were continued in 

ground-water areas in Ventura County by the Ventura County Water Survey,

and a summary of fluctuations in ground-water levels for the period 1928-

I/ 

41 was published. The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District

continued measurements in more than 300 wells in the San Bernardino Valley, 

and summarized the indicated changes in ground-water levels in a statement 

issued in mimeographed form. In continuation of observations begun in 

1937, the Division of ^Irrigation of the Soil Conservation Service, United 

States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant 

Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering, of the same Department, the 

Bureau of Reclamation and the Division of Irrigation of the Office of 

Indian Affairs, both of the United States Department of the Interior, and 

the j&iperial Irrigation District made monthly measurements in about 150 

observation wells in the Yuma-^Bard area between the Colorado River and the 

Ail-American Canal. The Division of Water Resources of the Department of 

Public Works, State of California, continued to assemble records, collected 

by various agencies, of wells in the south-coastal basins. The records 

assembled for 1941 have been published in the Division's Bulletin 39-J, 

which is one of and continues the series beginning with Bulletin. 39, published in 1933, and includes also records for wells in San Jacinto andAntelope Valleys from the time they were first measured through 1941. ,

As has already been brought out, no water-level records for the 

northern part of California appear in this report, and the central part is 

represented by records for only a' part of one county--the Mokelumne River 

area of San Joaquin County. Many State, county, and local agencies, however, carried on systematic programs of water-level measurements in 1943 

in the central part of California, which includes the large San Joaqaln 

and Sacramento Valleys and many smaller basins. Ttoua* in sewral hundred . 

wells distributed ra£her widely over the San Joaquin Valley, water lev«ls 

were measured periodically by irrigation districts and local waterconservation agencies, largely in collaboration with the Division of Water

Resources of the California Department of Public Works. In tlte Sacramento

and Santa Clara Valleys and elsewhere several substantial water-level '

programs were maintained.' Unfortunately, the facilities available to the 

Geological Survey have' not been adequate to include the records of these 

programs in thia report.

.'RAINFALL AND SNOWFALL ' 

The following general summary of olimatologio features for California

for uhe calendar year 1943 is quoted from the annual report on such data

£/ issued by the Weather Bureau: >

"The annual precipitation for the State for 1943 was somewhat less 

than the 47-year average /period beginning with 1G977. It was well above 

normal in the San Joaquin, south Coast, and Southeastern Desert Drainage 

Basins, approximated the normal in the Northeastern Interior Drainage 

Basins, and was far below normal elsewhere. Monthly averages for the State 

exceeded the normal in January, March, April, and June, with plus, departures most pronounced in January and March. Totals for the southern portion 

of the state were much above the normal in December, but minus departures 

elsewhere brought the State average markedly below the December normal. 

Heavy rains in March, and excessive runoff from snow caver in the southern 

Sierra Nevada during subsequent months, caused the flooding of 112,000 

acres of land adjacent to Lake Tulare by June 10th, causing estimated 

damage in the neighborhood of'$3,500,000.

"The total annual snowfall for the State was only 60 percent of the 

nomal. ^Tune and July were the only months with excesses. The total for 

the 1942-43 season was but 66 percent of the normal. The snow cover at 

the end «f the year was 6 percent of the nomal. She ground was then 

generally bare below the 3,000-foot level in northern California, below 

the 4,000-foot level in- the middle Sierra. Nevada, and below the 5,000-foot 

level in the southern Sierra Nevada and mountains of southern California."

Because ground water is derived essentially from pain or snow, the 

volume in storage and the water levels in wells generally fluctuate in 

response to fluctuations in precipitation, \4here there is a marked seasonal 

variation in precipitation, aa is true of the entire Pacific Coast region, 

ground-water storage generally is greatest and natural ground-water levels

are highest at or soon after the height of the wet season, but during the

*

ensuing dry season the unconfinetl ground-water storage is depleted by natural discharge and the water levels in wells commonly recede. This depletion 

goes on until soil-moisture deficiencies have been replenished by the first 

rains of the next wet season. Thus, for the climatic conditions of 

California the ground-water level comnonly is related leas closely to precipitation within, the calendar year than to precipitation within a "water 

year," which spans one wet season and the following dry season tltat is, 

which ends in early autumn. For this treatment of clSaatic conditions and 

for the following summary treatment of runoff the water year is taken as 

ending September 30, the most practicable average date for near-maxiaum 

depletion of unco'nfined ground-water storage and near-minimum runoff.

76 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

The first of the two following tables shows the average monthly and 

seasonal distribution of precipitation in California for the 47-year period 

1897-1943. The second table shows, for the water year ending September 30, 

1943, the distribution of the precipitation by provinces and the wetness 

in each in relation to the average precipitation for the 50-year period 

ending September 30, 1940, as based on the records at 15 representative 

stations in the State. It will be seen from this table that the precipitation during the water year 1942-43, in/percentage of the average for the 

50-year period, varied considerably from one part of the State to another 

and was substantially greater than the average in most areas for which 

water levels are given in this report.

RUNOFF

The runoff In California streans during the water year ending Septem- , 

ber 30, 1943, ranged from less than the average to more than three times 

the average. Representative of the runoff in streams in the northern and

central parts of the State are the year's total for Trinity River at Lewls-

 »

ton, in the north-coastal drainage, which was 110 percent of normal, and 

that for Kings River at Piedra, in the southern Sierra drainage, which was 

130 percent of normal. In southern California the greatest runoff occurred 

in the frontal mountain areas whose drainage is tributary to the San 

Gabriel and Los Angeles Rivers and in the areas 'draining to the headwaters 

of the Santa Clara River. The water year 1942-43, with more than three 

times the average runoff in these areas, is one of the three wettest years 

on record. Southern San Diego County is the area that had the least runoff; 

there the total for the water year was substantially less than average. In 

most other areas of southern California, however, the runoff was in the 

intermediate part of its range of 100 to 300 percent of the average. 

SUMMARIES OF PROGRAMS, HXDROLOQIC CONDITIONS, AND WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS 

Coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties

Program of work

Since 1940 tile Geological Survey, in cooperation with the 'Orange 

County Flood Control District, the Orange County Water District, the; Los 

Angeles County Flood Control District, and the Board of Water Commissioners 

of the city of Long Beach, has been engaged in an intensive Investigation 

of the ground-water bodies that underlie the so-called Long Beach-Santa Ana 

area that is, most of the coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. 

The Investigation is concerned particularly with the contamination of the 

ground-water bodies by salt water and with the watertlghtnesa of the 

Newport-Inglewood structural zone. Reports pertaining to this investigation, released by the Geological Survey in 1943, are as follows:

An earlier release explains the three well-numbering systems widely 

used in this area and presents a cross-index correlating- the three systems. 

The numbering system used by the Geological Survey has also been described 

in Water-supply Paper 949*, on pages 87 and 189.

The intensive program of water-level measurements whiciiwas carried on 

in 1941 and 1942 by the Geological Survey, and for which records have been 

published in an earlier report, had been largely, but not entirely, discontinued by the end of 1942. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained or established during 1943 on 16 wells, records for which Tare given 

in this report. The following table lists these wells by location symbols 

and gives the period during which continuous records of water level were 

made. For all but three of these wells the depth and the position of the 

water-yielding zone tapped have been given in a previous report. For the 

three additional wells Hos. 5/11-18J2, 5/11-26H3, and 5/13.-26N3 available

*

In 1943, an investigation was started by the Geological Survey in the 

Torrance.-Santa Monica area in cooperation with the Los Angeles County Flood 

Control District and certain municipalities. This investigation is concerned fundamentally with the perennial yield and chemical character of the 

ground-water supplies in the so-called West Basin, which lies between the 

Palos Verdes Hills on the south, the Santa Monica Mountains on the north, 

the Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Newport-Inglewood structural zone 

on the east. In effect, it extends the area in which salt-water contamination and the permeability of the Newport-Inglewood structural zone have 

been under study northwestward from the Long Beach-Santa Ana area to the 

Santa Monica Mountains. By this extension the complete investigation spans 

all the Newport-Inglewood zone and the full coastal fringe of the Los 

Angeles Basin.

A field canvass of the wells in the Torrance-Santa Monica area was 

started in October 1943, but no periodic measurements of the depth to water 

had been made by the end of 1943, and hence no water-level measurements 

for wells in that area are included in the present report.

'Hydrologic conditions and fluctuations of water level

Rainfall for the calendar year 1943 in the Long Beach-Santa Ana area 

was about 50 percent greater than the long-term average, according to 

records published by the United States Weather Bureau, but for the water 

year ending September 30, 1943, it was only about 20 percent greater than 

average. In January it was about double the average, and in both February 

and March' it was greater than average. Hence withdrawal of ground water 

for irrigation was light until May. The rainfall was deficient in the

autumn of 1943 until December, however, and therefore ground-water with-

\ 

drawals continued throughout the autumn, especially in those parts of

 

Orange County producing citrus fruit, which have a large acreage.

The coastal plain 'of Los Angeles and Orange Counties is divided into 

two distinct ground-water basins by the Newport-Inglewood structural zone. 

(See Water-Supply Paper.949, p» 78, fig. 7.) -For the main coastal-plain 

basin northeast of the structural zone the average yearly withdrawal of 

ground water since 1930 has been about 320,000 acre-feet. For the groundwater basin southwest of the structural zone, which has been designated

6/ 

the West Basin by Eckis, the withdrawal has been somewhat less than a

Works, Water Resources Div., Bull. 45, p. 198, 1934.

quarter as great, or about 50,000 to 70,000 acre-feet a year. During the 

war period beginning in 1941, the withdrawal from the West Basin has Increased substantially in 1943 it was at least 25 percent greater than in 

1940. Some increase'in withdrawals also has occurred in certain parts of 

the main coastal-plain basin, especially in the 'industrial and residential 

areas west of the Rio Hondo. On the other hand, withdrawals to the east 

of the Rio Hondo are made largely for use in agriculture and so are low 

during years of greater-than-average rainfall, and they are not influenced 

appreciably by war activities. Therefore it is believed that the withdrawal 

from the main basin as a whole has not increased greatly since 1940.

The graph for well 4/13-23G2, which is the "Silverado" well of the * 

city of Long Beach (see fig. 7 ), illustrates conditions in the southern 

part of the West Basin, where-withdrawals for industrial use Have increased 

about 30 percent since 1940. In this "well the water level declined more 

than 10 feet during the period 1940-43. To show the trend In the main 

coastal-plain basin, the. graph for well 4/11-19K1 (U. S. 47), at Los 

Alaraitos, is also plotted <Sn figure 7 . This well is about on the boundary between Los Angeles and Orange Counties and-furnishes a good index of 

water levels in the central area of confined water. In this well the 

piezometric surface has risen slowly but fairly steadily since the- historic 

low-water period of 1936.

The following table summarize's the observed range of water levels in - 

the 20 wells selected to show typical fluctuations in wells in the Long 

Beach-Santa Ana, area and designated in Y/ater-Supply Paper 949 <as "continuing" observation wells. (For the location of the wells, see Water-Supply 

Paper 949, p. 78, fig. 7.) Because the historic low-water period for the 

coastal plain occurred in the autumn of 1936, the year-end water levels 

for 1942 and 1943 are compared with the year-end levels for 1936. Of the 

28 wells, 24 are in the main coastal-plain basin and 4 are in the West 

Basin. One of those in the West Basin, well 4/13-14L1, taps the shallow

water-bearing zone of Recent age in Dominguez Gap; the other three tap the

v 

main aquifer of Pleistocene age from which tfhe heavy withdrawals are nade.

Because water levels in the wella tapping this aquifer have declined several feet since 1936, the average level is given, at the end of the table, 

for the wells in each of the two ground-water basins.

Mojave Desert region, .Kern. Los Angeles, and 3an Bernardino Counties

Antelope Valley, Kern and Los Angeles Counties

Observations of water level in Antelope Valley were continued in 1943 

in 29 wells, which were measured in both spring and autumn. The measurements indicate a continuation of the downward trend in levels shown by the 

observations of the past several years. ' The average stage for the entire 

basin in December 1943 was 2.8 feet lower than the average stage in Deeera-, 

ber 1942. As in previous years, the greatest decline occurred in the 

southern part of the valley, where it averaged about 4 feet. 'Water levels 

in the Rednan area, where the land surface is lower, declined 2.3 feet on 

the average.

Mojave River Basin, San Bernardlno County

Observations of water level In the Mojave River Basin were continued 

In 1943 In 106 wells, most of which were neasured in both spring and 

autumn. The discharge of the Mojave River near Vlctorvllle during the 

 water year ending September 30, 1943, was 178 percent of the 18-year average, and there-was continuous flow at Barstow from January 23 to the middle 

of -May.

Measurements of water level In wells In the area near the Porks Indicate net rises ranging from 8.6 feet to nore than 15 feet. Near Hesperia 

Crossing the rise averaged 2.5 feet. No definite trend In water-level In 

wells on the mesa east of the river was noted.

Wells In the valley between Victorville and Hodge showed very little 

change In water level from the preceding year; the average net change was 

a rise of 0.2 foot. Downstream from Hodge, between the river and the 

Barstow-Mojave highway, there was a net rise ranging from 4.0 feet In well 

9/3W-14D1 (formerly M56a), near the river, to 0.6 foot at Hlnkley. -In 

wells In the area north of the above-mentioned highway, no definite trend 

In water level during the year was noted. 

Net rises In water level In the Lenwood-Barstow area ranged from-0.3 

foot In well 9/2W-19B1 (formerly H43), near Lenwood, to an average.of 1.2 

feet in wells at Barstow. The rise increased toward Daggett, where, in 

well 9/1E-18E1 (fornerly LI), It was 5.2. feet.

East of Daggett, near the Daggett airfield, the water levels showed 

an average net rise during the year of 4.9 feet. North o"f the river and 

east of Yermo the average net rise was 3.8 feet.

The wells that were measured in the sand-dune area between Newberry 

and Troy Lake showed no definite trend in water level during the year. 

Mokelumne River Basin, San Joaquin County

During 1943 the East Bay Municipal Utility District continued measurements »f water level In typical observation wells of the Mokelumne area, 

In the central part ,of the Great Valley. Records for 24 of the wells were 

first published by the Geological Survey in Its annual report on water 

levels for 1935 (V/ater-Supply Papej? 777), when they were selected as the 

basis for an index to changes in ground-water storage In the area. In 

1943 water levels in these wells were measured about monthly, 293 measurements having been made during the year. No water-%stage recorders or float 

gages were operated.

The first of the two fqllowing tables correlates the average yearly 

water-level changes since 1933 in the 24 selected wells with the fluctuations in yearly rainfall, The upward trend of the water levels beginning 

in 1940, caused by greater than average rainfall, was halted in 1943 by a 

diminution in rainfall. The second table shows the changes in water level 

in 1943 during each of the two significant periods of the year in relation 

to irrigation that of increasing withdrawal and that of diminishing withdrawal .

A continuous water-stage recorder was in operation all year on well

, 7/ 

(formerly 42a) at Baldwin Park, which is regarded as typical of

wells in the upper San Gabriel Valley. The water level in this well declined steadily from a mean daily stage of 295.17 feet above sea level, on 

January 1, to a stage of 294.59 feet, the lowest of the year, on January 20. 

The following day it began to rise, and it rose steadily until May 26, when 

it reached its highest stage ofl the year, 324.97 feet. On December 31 its 

mean daily stage was 307.31 feet 17.66 feet below the highest stage-of 

the year, 12.72 feet above the lowest stage of the year, and 12.14 feet 

above the stage of December 31, 1942.

Basins in San Diego County

In contrast to the general decline in water level in the wells of San 

Diego County observed in 1942, the measurements in 50 wells in this county 

in 1943 indicate a small net rise during the year. Except for the Sweetwater River Basin, in which the only well measured showed a net rise of 

10.22 feet, the average net rise in the several basins, as shown in the 

following table, ranged from 0.06 foot in the Tia Juana River Basin to 

1.69 feet in the San Luis Rey River Basin. The greatest net rise In any 

one well was 10.30 feet in well 11/4W-18 (formerly F32), in Mission Basin

88 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

of water level were made by the Geological Survey in six areas of the 

county; in two areas measurements were made by four local agencies, as 

follows: (1) In the Santa Maria Valley, by the Santa Maria Valley Water 

Conservation District, the city of Santa Maria, and the San Joaquin Power 

Division of Pacific Gas & Electric Co.; (2) in the Carpinterla Basin, by 

the Carpinteria County Water District. These measurenents by local agencies 

have been made available to the Geological Survey. The distribution of 

water-level measurements in 1943 in the several areas has already been Indicated. (See table on p. 72.)

General hydrologle conditions

Rainfall throughout the county was comparatively heavy during the 

period 1941-43. As computed from data published by the United States 

Y/eather Bureau, precipitation during the calendar year 1943 was more than 

double that in 1942 and about 130 percent of the long-term averages for 

the 10 stations for which there are "20 or more years of record. Throughout 

the county, from 30 to 50 percent of the precipitation of 1943 fell during 

the heavy storm of January 21-23. During these 2 days the storm rainfall 

at. Santa Barbara was the greatest for the 76 years of record, or 11.96 

Inches; at Junoal Dam, near the head of the Santa Ynez River, the storm 

rainfall was 23.02 Inches, the heaviest fall recorded In the county. Nearly 

all this rainfall quickly ran off and was not effective in replenishing the 

ground-water reservoirs. This was true especially in the Carpinterla and 

Goleta Basins, which are not large and which are floored with fine-grained 

deposits. In the Santa Maria and Guyana Valleys, on the other hand, the 

storm runoff traversed long reaches, of relatively coarse-grained deposits, 

and there probably replenished the ground-water bodies much more effectively.

The remainder of the year's precipitation fell chiefly in February, 

March, and December. Owing to the heavy rains during the winter and early 

spring, withdrawal of ground water for Irrigation in 1943 was delayed 

throughout most of the county until late May, but the relatively dry autumn 

made It necessary, In places, to continue withdrawals Into December.

The generally excessive rainfall and stream flow in 1940 and 194^. and 

again In 1943 have caused the level of unconfined ground-wa,ter bodies' to 

rise generally and rather steadily throughout the county but have had a
CALIFORNIA 89

leas pronounced effect on the level of confined water bodies. The rise 

was greatest In the northern part of the county, where by T3ecember 1943 

the water Ievels 4in certain wells had reached their highest stages of 

record. In the Santa Maria Valley water levels In key observation wells 

rose as much as 23 feet during the calendar years l§41-43, which Indicates 

a substantial Increase in ground-water storage in this area.

In the southern part of the county, where the principal water bodies 

are largely confined, the water level rose only locally during the calendar 

year 1943 and declined in parts of each ground-water basin. These declines 

were probably due to the residual draw-down from late withdrawals and to 

lack of rainfall in October and November 1943.

Carplnterla Basin

Figure 8 shows the net change in water level in wells of the Carplnterla Basin during the calendar year 1943, also the monthly precipitation 

and the fluctuations of water level in a typical well in 1942 and 1943. In 

this basin the principal ground-water body is largely confined. On the 

average, throughout the basin the water level rose about 0.2 foot in 1943. 

The net rise was greatest In the eastern part of the basin, where, in 

places,it was more than 8 feet, but in the western end of the basin it was 

slight. This rise probably was the result of replenishment from the 

greater-thari-average rainfall during the first three months of the year, 

replenishment which, although delayed, was sufficient to offset the greaterthan-average withdrawal during the prolonged irrigation season. In the 

central and southern parts of the basin, the water level declined during 

4-943, probably owing to the combination of lag in replenishment and late ^

withdrawals.

The graph of well 4/25-27Q2 (fig. 8) shows that the fluctuation of 

water levels in 1943 was essentially the same as in 1942. The highest 

stage of 1943'was somewhat above that of 1942, a condition that was evidently the result of the increased rainfall in 1943.

Goleta Basin

In wells of the Goleta Basin, in which the principal, ground-water body 

also is largely confined, water levels averaged about 9.2 foot Tower at the 

close of 1943 than at the close of 1942. As shown In figure 9 -they de- ~*

for irrigation are heaviest, but rose in the northern and western parts. 

Withdrawals of ground water were greater than average owing- to the lack of 

appreciable rainfall before late December.

Throughout most of 1943 water levels were generally lower than in 1942 

at corresponding times, but they rose sharply in December as withdrawals 

ceased and as the lagging replenishment from the greater-than-average rains 

brought their stages back nearly to those of December 1942. 

Middle Santa Ynez Valley

In wells of the Middle Santa Ynez Valley the water levels of December 

1943 were 1.9 feet higher, on the average, than those of December 1942. 

The greatest net rise, about 4 feet, occurred in the eastern and southeastern 

parts of the valley (fig. 10). Water levels declined in the area along the 

Santa Ynez River west of Buellton and in the central part of the broad 

eastern segment of the valley, but the decline was less than 2 feet except 

in two wells.

The general net rise of water level during 1943 probably resulted 

from replenishment derived directly from the 'excessive rainfall during the 

winter of 1942-43. The net decline along the Santa Ynez River west of 

Buellton doubtless was caused jointly by late summer withdrawals and by 

low stream flow, and thus, indirectly, by deficient rainfall in the autumn 

of 1943.

Lower Santa Ynez Valley

In the Lower Santa Ynez Valley, in which the principal ground-water 

body is largely confined, the water levels of December 1943 averaged about 

0.4 foot below those of December 1942. Except in the northwest quarter of 

the valley (see fig. 13), water levels declined from 1 to 3 feet during 

the year, probably owing to the low stream flow and to the relatively prolonged withdrawals, both caused by relatively low rainfall during October 

and November 1943.

In the northwest quarter of the valley, water levels rose generally 

about 1 foot during the year; in one small area near the Santa Ynez River 

the net rise was nore than 3 feet. This rise probably was due largely to 

cessation of withdrawals in the extreme western end of the Lompoc Plain.

Santa Maria Valley

In wells of the Santa Maria Valley, in which the principal ground-water 

body is unconfined over an extensive area, the water levels of December 1943 

averaged about 3.8 feet above those of December 1942, and nowhere in the 

valley was the water level lower than in December 1942J The rise was 

greatest in wells along the Santa Maria River, and in areas north and northwest of Santa Maria and east of Sisquoc, it was more than 10 feet. (See 

fig. 12.) V/est of Santa Maria water levels rose' to higher stages, and by 

December the'small area of artesian flow at the extreme western end of the 

valley extended farther to the east than at any time in the past 15 yeara. 

Thus, ground-water storage in this valley has increased substantially in 

recent years.

% Cuyafia Valley

In wells of the Guyana Valley the water levels at the end of 1943 

averaged about 1 foot higher than at the end of 1942, and nowhere in the 

valley had the water level declined. (See fig. 13.) The rise was greatest 

in the eastern part of the valley and least in the western part, where 

withdrawals are greatest. The net rise doubtless was due to the groundwater replenishment that was provided by the greater-than-normal rainfall 

in 1943 and that more than offset the increased withdrawals for irrigation.

In the Guyana Valley some 25 wells have been drilled to supply water 

to more than 3,000 acres of land placed under irrigation since 1940. 

Despite this considerable increase in the use of ground water, the water 

table has risen slightly since water-level measurerients were begun, in 

1941. Thus it is evident that during the period 1941-43 the ground-water 

recharge was at least equal to the withdrawals.

SYMBOLS ASSIGNED TO OBSERVATION YffiLLP

For uniformity in.this report all observation wells have been assigned 

symbols according to the method used heretofore for wella in the coastalplain area of Los Angeles and Orange Counties and in Santa Barbara County. 

Thus, new symbols are herein assigned to observation wells of the Mojave 

River Basin in San Bernardino County, the Mokelumne River Baain in San 

Joaquin County, the San Gabriel River Basin in Los Angelea County, the Santa 

Ana River Baain in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and the several 

basins of San Diego County. These symbols indicate the locations of the

wells according to the rectangular system of public-land surveys, as described In the next two paragraphs. The table on page 99 correlates the 

numbers of certain wells as used In previous reports- with the symbols assigned to then In this report.

For exanple, for well 2/12-13A1, on the coastal plain of Los Angeles 

County, the part of the symbol that precedes the hyphen Indicates the township and range (T. 2 S., R. 12 W.). The one or two digits following the 

hyphen indicate the section (sec. 13), and the letter indicates the 40-acre 

subdivision of the section as shown by the accompanying diagram. Within 

each 40-acre tract the wells are. numbered serially as indicated by the 

final digit of the symbol. Thus, well 13A1 was the first well listed In 

the NEjNEi sec. 13.

In eonne'ction with this method of assigning location symbols several 

conventions are applied, as follows: (1) Numerous districts in California 

have never been public land; for these the rectangular system of subdivl-' 

slon has been projected, commonly after projections by local officials for 

purposes of land assessment. (2) If the ground-water basin or area under 

consideration is wholly in one quadrant of the particular base line and 

meridian (Humboldt, lit. Diablo," or San. Bernardino meridians, In California), 

the cardinal directions for township and range are not Indicated. However, 

if the basin or area spans parts of two quadrants, the cardinal directions 

are abbreviated as necessary for clarity for example, wells 15/1E-17 and 

15AW-13 in the San Diego River Basin and well IS/10-17 in the San Gabriel 

River Basin.1 (3) For a well whose location is known only approximately 

the .symbol is shortened to the designations of township, range, and section 

only; also, if there are two or more such wells seemingly in a common 

section, their symbols are differentiated by lower-case letters affixed to 

the section number for example, wells 10/3W-20 and 10/3Wr20a of the San 

Luls Rey River Basin in San Diego County.

HAWAII

By H. T. Stearns 

INTRODUCTION

The systematic investigation of the geology and ground-water resources 

of the Territory of Hawaii was continued in 1943 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Division 

o'f Hydrography of the Territory, progress being made especially on the 

island of Hawaii. In addition, many special investigations were made for, 

the armed forces, not only in the Territory of Hawaii but also in areas 

embraced in the war theaters of the central and south Eacific and south 

Atlantic waters. Confidential reports on ground water and rock supplies 

in these areas were submitted to the War Department as a result of these 

investigations.

The^total draft of ground water in the Territory during 1943 was 

202,075 million gallons (about 620,369 acre-feet, or an average of 554 

million gallons a day). This was 17,612 million gallons more than in 1942, 

an increase accounted for by heavy pumpage on Haul and Oahu to alleviate 

conditions caused by drought. On Holokai there was a slight increase. On 

the islands other than these three the pumpage was less ( than in 1942.

Water levels in most wells on the islands showed a net decline in 1943. 

The average rainfall for the Territory was 72.37 inches, which is 19.~69 

inches below the average for 1942 and 13.62 inches below normal. 

RECORDS OP ARTESIAN HEAD, WATER LEVEL, AND PUMPAGE

Thev tables 'in this report set forth data on ground-waller conditions 

in the Territory in 1943, such as artesian head, water level, and the 

chloride content of the waters. In the section on Oahu is a table listing, 

by name and number, the artesian areas on that island and giving the time 

of high and low artesian heads in each; in the records that follow, these 

areas are referred to by the numbers shown in this table. At the end of 

the report is a table showing, by pumping plants, the ground-water draft

in the Territory during the year. 

184
HAWAII, ISLAND OP OAHU 135

In the tables of well records, the measurements of artesian head or 

water level are giVen, In feet, with Teference both to mean sea level and 

to land-surface datum. They are lifted in two columns, designated A and 

B those in A being referred to mean sea level and those in B to land-surface 

datum. The symbol). + in column B indicates that the artesian head or water 

level la above land-surface datum; no symbol indicates below land-surface 

datum. In some of the wells the measurement_givea is the water level; in 

others it is the height to which the water would rise in a casing or tube 

as indicated by the shut-in pressure.

ISLAND OP OAHU

During 1943 the Geological Survey made 283 monthly measurements of 

artesian head and 347 determinations of chloride on 134 wells on the Island 

of Oahu. The Board of Water Supply, City and County of Honolulu; made 118 

measurements of artesian head on 102 wells, 16 of which were measured more 

than once. Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained by the Geological Survey throughout the year on 2 wells and by the Board of Water Supply

on 11 wells. i

The prolonged drought that began in 1940 was broken in 1942 by heavy 

rains but began anew in 1943. The total pumpage for the island was 

130,847 million gallons, or 9,736 million gallons more than in 1942. All 

12 artesian areas (see table on p. 186 ) showed losses in underground 

storage. The Average rainfall on Oahu for the year was 65.62 inches, 

which is 15.46 inches less than in 1942 and 10.98 inches below normal.

The water level in area 4 declined 1.33 feet below the> previous all 

time low of 1926 as a result of the drought and increased.pumpage.

Red Hill and Barbers Point shafts, which are owned by the United States 

Navy, were completed and put into use during the year. The Halawa shaft, 

which is owned by the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, is still under con-

*

struction.

The location of all wells is shown on the geologic map of Oahu in

slightly, they showed a net decline for the yeal-of 0.06 to 0.43 foot. 

Pumpa 1, 5, and 6 of the Maui Agricultural Co. ^howed no change. Water 

levels in the six wells of the Pioneer Mill Co. on the leeward side of Weat 

Maui showed a net deeline for the year of 0.20 1;o 1.88 feet. The chloride 

content £n all wells on Maui in 1943 was alightl.y higher than in 1942.

The East Maui Irrigation Co. ditch deliveries to the Isthmus amounted 

to 65,287.60 million gallons in 1943, an increaiie of 2,762.64 million 

gallons over their deliveries in 1942. The Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.

started three of its pump's in January and the others in February. The Maui

\ 

Agricultural Co.'s pumping season began in January. All the Pioneer Hill

Co.'s pumps except one were started in January; one was started in February. 

The pumping season for the three plantations closed in December.

ISLAND OF UOLOEAI

The water level in test boring Tl showed a" slight net rise in 1943 

above its stages during the period June to, December 1942. The monthly 

stages are the highest yet recorded for this hole. The maximum of 6.36 

feet occurred in March and again in October. The chloride content was 

higher during the last 4 months of the year than at any previous time.

The water level in the Connant well showed a net decline from its 

stages in 1942. The highest measurement during the year was 1.08 feet on 

May 15. In the Kamalo well the water level varied only slightly from its 

stages of 1942, ranging from 1.75 to 1.92 feet. Ualapue well showed little 

change during 11 months of the year, but its December water level of 3.67 

feet is the lowest yet recorded for this well.

The United States Army in 1943 installed a pumping plant on a dug 

well at Kamakana, 4 miles east of Kaunakakai. It was pumped during the ' 

last 3 months of the year.

ISLAND OF HAWAII

The water level in the Olaa shaft declined during 1943. It ranged 

from a high of 15.26 feet on August 7 to a low of 13.17 feet on December 

31.

In the Kaiwikl shaft measurements of water level were made Ifc 1948 

during the period February to May, but irregularly, owing to excavation 

work to enlarge the shaft. No measurements were made during the corresponding period in 1942, but a comparison with measurements made in 1941 

shows that there was little variation in water le,vel. No chloride determlnations were made in 1943.

PIJMPAGE

The following table gives the draft from all large ground-water pumpIng plants iii the Territory of Hawaii.^ The wells represented include 

Irrigation, domestic, and industrial wells. The draft from individual 

wells on Oahu is not included. The numbers in parentheses- in the records 

for Oahu and Maul are those used by the Federal Geological Survey for the 

wells or other recovery devices.

The total pumpage during 1943 was 202,074.72 million gallons. This 

was 17,612.05 million gallons more than in 19,42 but 2,626.16 minion 

gallons less than in 1941. Oahu, Maul, mnd Molokal were the only islands 

on which the draft for the year showed an increase. Renewal of the 

drought which began in 1940 and new development and use of water supplies 

by the armed forces of the United States account for the increase.

.The draft from individual wells on Oahu is estimated to be about 85 

million gallons a day.

NEW MEXICO

INTRODUCTION 

By G. R. Murray

PROGRAM- OP WORK

The Investigation of ground-water resources in New Mexico, which has 

been In progress in parts of the State for many years, was continued in 

1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in 

cooperfftlon with the State engineer. An observation-well program, under 

which the artesian head or the water level is measured in selected wells, 

forms an integral part .of the investigation. As in previous years water 

levels were measured in most observation wells in irrigated areas in the 

State in January or February, after their recovery from the effects of pumping during the irrigation season. In addition to the measurements made in 

the winter, measurements of water level were made in selected groups of observation wells in Chaves, Eddy, Lea, Quay, and Roosevelt Counties at 

2-month intervals, in Grant, Luna, and Sierra Counties at 3-month intervals, 

and in Torrance County at 4-month intervals. In all £,326 measurements 

were made during the year exclusive of Hidalgo County. 

FLUCTUATIONS IN WATER LEVEL

Water levels, in general, declined throughout New Mexico in 1945. Precipitation was below normal in nearly all areas in the State, au4 unusually 

large amounts of water were required for the production of crops. Even in 

nonirrigated areas water levels declined in most wells, because the relatively high stages at which they stood after the abnormal precipitation of 

1941 could not be maintained with the subnormal to.normal precipitation 

since 1941. In the Roswell artesian basin, in Chaves and Eddy Countlea, 

there was a general decline during the year in artesian head and in the 

water levels of shallow wells. As in previous years, declines in the 

shallow-water levels were greatest in several small areas of concentrated 

pumping situated along the stretch from Orchard Park south to Lakewood. 

Declines in artesian head, also, were greater in the southern part of the

basin. Although water levels attained new high stages In 194S in the 

202
HBW MEXICO ' 203 '

outcrop area of the San Andres limestone, their stages at the end of the 

year were lower than at the beginning. In the Portales Valley, In Roosevelt 

County, where Irrigation by ground water is extensive, large declines- in 

water level took place. Similarly, appreciable declines took place In the 

House area, in Quay County, where development is intensive, though confined to a small area,. In the lightly pumped though extensive Lovington 

area, in Lea County, water levels declined in general, f but significant 

declines were restricted to small areas of relatively heavy pumping.

Excessive withdrawal of* ground water i continued in the Deming area, in 

Luna County. Water levels declined throughout the irrigated area, exceptionally large declines taking place In the parts of the area east, west, 

and south of Deming, where pumping is especially heavy.

WKLL-NOKBERING SYSTEM

The system of numbering wells In Hew Mexico, used In all counties except Hidalgo and Sierra, is based on the common subdivisions in sectlonized 

land, and, by means of it, the well number, in addition to designating the 

well, locates Its position to the nearest 10-acre tract in the land net. 

The number Is divided into four segments by periods. The first segment 

denotes the township north or south of the Hew Mexico base line; the, second 

denotes the range east or west of the Hew Mexico principal meridian; and 

the third denotes the section.- In an area suchr as Roosevelt County, where 

wells are situated both north and south of the base line, an H Is added to 

the first segment of the well number if the township J.s-north of the base 

line, but no letter is added If the townsHlp Is south of the base line. In 

areas in which no confusion can arise, the direction north or south of tae 

base line or east or west of the meridian Is not given.

The fourth segment of the number, which consists of three digits, 

denotes the particular 10-acre tract In which the well is situated. For 

this purpose, the section Is divided into four quarters, numbered 1, 8, 3, 

and 4, In the normal reading order, fo? the northwest, northeast,*southwest, 

and southeast quarters, respectively. The first digit of the fourth segment gives the quarter section, which is a tract of 160 acres. Similarly 

the quarter section Is divided Into four 40-acre tracts numbered in the 

same manner, and the second digit denotes the 40-acre tract. Finally, the 

40-acre tract is divided Into four 10-acre tracts, and the third digit 

denotes the 10-acre tract. Thus, well 12.36.24.123 in Lea County is 

661861 O-45- 14
204 WATSR LEVELS AND ARTBSIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

located in the SW^NEiNW^ sec. 24, T. 12 S., R. 36 £. If a well cannot be 

located accurately to a 10-acre tract, a zero Is used as the third digit, 

and if it cannot be located accurately within a 40-aere tract, zeros are 

used for both the second and third digits. If the well cannot be located 

more closely than the section, the fourth segment of the well number is 

omitted. In Water-Supply Paper 911 and earlier reports the digits corresponding to unknown 10-aere and 40-a'cre tracts are simply omitted, but this 

practice caused some confusion in cataloging the wells. In Water-Supply 

Paper 941 and subsequent reports, wells the last segment pf whose numbers 

ends in one or two zeros correspond to wells whose numbers in earlier reports are the same except for the omission of the last one or two zeros. 

Letters a, b, c, ........... are added to the last segment to designate the

second, third, fourth, and succeeding wells in the same 10-acre tract.

The following diagram shows the method of numbering the tracts within 

a section:

WELL DESCRIPTIONS, RECORDS OP ARTESIAN HEAD, AND 

WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Measurements for most of the observation wells in New Mexico are listed 

alphabetically by counties, and numerically within each county. Two groups
HBffl MEXICO, CHAVS3 AND BDDY COUNTIES 205

of measurements those of artesian head in the Roswell artesian basin and 

those of water level in the artesian-intake area of that basin are listed 

 under the common heading "Chaves and Eddy Counties," and in these groups 

the wells are indicated by name only. The listing of water-level measurements in the shallow-water wells of the Roswell artesian basin, however, 

follows the general plan, each well appearing under the county In which it , 

is situated. Records of artesian head are expressed as water level in 

feet above aea level,

OHAVES AND EDDY COUNTIES (ROSWELL ARTESIAN BASIN) 

By P. D. Akin

The program of inventorying records of water level and artesian head 

in the Roswell artesian basin was continued in 1943 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the State engineer of New Mexico. Most of 

the Roswell artesian basin lies in Chaves County, but a considerable part 

lies in northern Eddy County, 

The first intensive investigation by the Federal Geological Survey of 

the artesian-water resources of the Roswell artesian basin was begun by 

A. G. Fiedler and S. S, Nye in 1925, and aft intensive Investigation of the 

shallow-water resources was begun by A. M, Morgan in 1937. The findings 

of these investigations have been published in Geological Survey WaterSupply Paper 639 and in tfee 7th to 13th biennial reports of the State engineer of New Mexico. Data on artesian head have been published in WaterSupply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 911, 941, and 949. Data on 

shallow-water levels have been published in Water-Supply Papers 845, 886, 

911, 941, and 949. A comprehensive report of the hydrology and agricultural development of the Pecos Valley has been published by the National

Resources Planning Board as part 10 of the Regional Planning series, "The

\ 

Pecos River Joint^Investigation In the Pecos River Basin in New, Mexico and

Texas", 1942,

The precipitation in 1943 at Roswell, as reported by the United States 

Weather Bureau, was only 8.78 inches, or about 59 percent of the normal 

annual precipitation of 14.94 inches. The precipitation during the period 

April to September was' only 5.48 inches, or about 55 percent of the normal 

precipitation for that period. The monthly precipitation was below normal 

for all months except May, June, and December.
206 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

Much water was used for irrigation in 1949 because of the dry weather 

and the increased production of crops induced by wartime demands. It is 

estimated that in the Roswell artesian basin 554,300 acre-feet &£ water 

was used for this purpose, of which 191,300 acre-feet was artesian water, 

109,100 acre-feet was shallow ground water, and 54,200 acre-feet ^ras surface 

water. More water for irrigation, from all three sources combined, was 

used in 1943 than in any previous year of record. The amount used was 

about one and one-half times the amount used in 1942 and more than twice 

the amount used in 1941.

It is estimated that about 119,800 acres of land was irrigated in 1945, 

of which 64,600 acres was irrigated with artesian water, 56,900 with 

shallow ground water, and 18,500 with surface water. These figures include 

lands using water from two or more sources, the acreage of such lands being 

distributed proportionally among.the several sources. The estimate of 

119,800 acres for 1945 is about 5,000 acres greater than the estimate for 

1941. Approximately 1,500 acres of this increase can be accounted for by 

new developments of land under permits for shallow wells not previously 

drilled. It has been estimated that approximately 1,000 acres of new land 

was developed under these permits in 1942 and about 500 acres in 1945. The 

remaining increse of 5,500 acres amounts to about 5 percent of the total 

irrigated acreage in 1941 and probably can be accounted for by lands which 

were idle or fallow in 1941 but which were farmed in 1943 under the inducement of wartime demands.

ARTESIAN WELLS

Six continuous water-stage recorders were operated in 1943 ,on artesian 

observation wells. The records obtained from these wells were used to compute the mean monthly and mean yearly artesian heads, as has been done In 

previous years. The mean monthly heads are computed from the recorder 

records by the following procedure: The daily maximum and dally minimal 

heads are obtained from the recorder charts by inspection, missing days 

being interpolated. Mean monthly maximum and mean monthly minimum heads 

are then computed by averaging the daily maximum and daily minimum heads 

for the month. The mean monthly head is then considered to be the average 

of the mean monthly maximum and mean monthly minimum heads. The mean 

annual head i*s the average of the mean monthly heads for the year, la all, 

126 water-level measurements were made in artesian recorder wells during 

the year.

Fluctuations In artesian head

In 1945 the water levels In the artesian recorder wells were high 

during January and the first few days In February. They began to decline 

early In February, owing to the beginning of irrigation, and declined 

steadily until about the 10th of May, when Irrigation was somewhat reduced 

because of rainfall. There followed a few days of recovery, but, as Irrigation was soon resumed, the water levels began again to decline and continued to decline until the last of June or first of July, when Irrigation 

was again reduced because of rainfall and the water levels rose somewhat. 

The rains during the last part of June were heavier than the rains during 

May,and the recovery of the water levels during the early part of July was 

accordingly greater than their recovery in May* Full Irrigation was resumed by the middle of July, and the water levels again declined until, 

during the latter part of August, they reached their lowest stages of the 

year; Hear the end of August and during the first part of September, as 

irrigation began to decrease with the end of the growing season, the water 

levels began to rise, and they continued to rise throughout the remainder 

of the year.
NEW MEXICO, CHAVE3 AND EDDY COUNTIES 209

The mean monthly water level for August waa the lowest of the year in' 

all the recorder wells. It waa from 1.7 to 12.1 feet lower than the mean 

monthly water level for August 1942 at the same wella, the Greenfield well 

showing the greatest difference and the Berrendo well the least. The mean - 

monthly water level for August 1943 at the Orchard Park well waa the lowest 

of record for that well.

The mean monthly water levels for December 1943 were from 1.5 to 3.8 

feet lower than the mean monthly water levels for December 1942, the least 

difference being in the Berrendo well, at the north end of the basin, and 

the greatest difference being in the Artesia well, in the southern part of 

the basis. The average mean monthly water level for December 1943 for the 

six recorder wells was 2.7 feet lower;than the average for December 1942.

In January 1944 E. G. Minton, Jr., artesian well supervisor, measured 

the artesian head and water level at 47 artesian wells for which the head 

and water level had been measured in January 1943. The differencea in the 

1943" and 1944 artesian heads in the several wells ranged from an increase » 

of 7.5 feet to a decreaae of 6.2 feet. The average change of head in the 

47.wells waa a decrease of 0.7 foot. The average change o'f head in the six 

artesian recorder wells for the same period waa a decreaae of 1.6 feet.

WELLS IN THE ARTESIAN INTAKE AREA

Monthly water-level measurements were made in 1943 in six wells near 

the eastern edge of the principal intake area for the Roswell artesian 

baain. The water levels in all the observation wells in the intake area, 

except the J. Hetfbat well, reached their higheat atagea of record in 1943^ 

The average change in water level in all the wells from December 1942 to 

December 1943 waa a decline of 1,22 feet. In all, 72 water-level measurements were made in the artesian-intake wells during the year.

SHALLOW WELLS

In order t^o observe the yearly water-level changes in the shallow wells 

in the Roswell artesian baain, water levela were measured in 419 wells 1» 

January and February of 1945. Of theae, 6 wells were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders and 28 others were measured at bimonthly intervals throughout the year in order to note the seasonal fluctuations. Of 

the 419 wella in which water levels were measured, 297 are In Chaves County 

and 122 in Eddy County, in all, 700 water-level measurements were made 

during the year. Measurements were discontinued in 29 wells,

Fluctuations in water level

"Water-level measurements made in the winter of each of'the years 1043 

and 1944 were used to prepare maps showing the change in water level from 

January 1945' to January 1944.

In the northern part of the Roswell artesian basin, in Chaves County, 

water levels declined over most of the area in 1943. In the heavily pumped 

area near Orchard Park, in T, 12 S., R. 25 E., and in a large area west of 

Hagennan, In Tps, 13 and 14 S,, Rs. 25 and 26 E., declines of_4 to 6 feet 

occurred, and In the heavily pumped area southwest of Hagerman, In T. 14 S., 

Bs. 25 and 26 E», declines of 6 to 8 feet occurred. _ '.

, The only general rise of water level In this part of the basin occurred 

in an area extending from east of Roswell, -In T. 10 S., Rs. 24 and 25 E., 

to the vicinity of East Grand Plains In T. 11 S., Rs. 24 and 25 E, Local 

rises in small areas occurred northeast, south, and west of Hagerman and 

northeast of Lake Arthur. The rises were» generally less than a foot, but 

those in a few of the wells Were larger.

In the southern part of the Roswell artesian basin, which is in the 

extreme southern part of Chaves County and In Eddy County, water leyels 

declined over nfost of the area. They declined 4 to 6 feet over a large 

area on the west side of the pumping district, from about midway of T. 16 3. 

to the southern part of T. 18 S. and mostly in R. 25 E. in a small area In 

T. 18 S,, Rs. 25 and 26 E,, they declined 4 to 8 feet.

Water levels declined 4 to 8 feet in a considerable area near Lakewood, 

in Tps, 19 and 20 S., R. 26 E. In one well in this-area, the decline was 

10.30 feet.

In the southern part of tjae Roswell artesian basin there were two 

general areas In which the water levels were higher in 1943 than In 1942. 

One of these areas is in the southern part of Chaves County, in T. 15 S., 

R. 24 E. The general rise of the water level In this area ranged from a 

fraction of an inch to 4.69 feet. The other area of general rise 1'ies 

mostly In Eddy* County, in the northeastern part of T. 16 S., R. 25 E., and 

In the northwestern part of T. 16 S., H. 26 E.,-but extends into Chaves 

County. The general rise of the water level In this area ranged from a 

fraction of an inch to 5.22 feet. Local rises -of the water level occurred 

in T. 16 S., R. 25 E., In T, 16 S., R. 26 E., and south of Dayton in 

T. 18 S., R. 26 E. , .

The general areas of rise in 1945 agree closely with the areas in 

which the rise was comparatively small in 1941, after the heavy rains. 

These are also the areas in which the water level rose or declined but 

little in 1942. This suggests that seme natural adjustment of the water 

table is still in progress, more than two years after the rains that caused 

the narked rise in water level in 1941. It may also be suggested that part 

of the water-level rise in these areas may have been caused by the downward

percolation of artesian and surface irrigation water, as large parts of the

»

areas in which the rises occurred lie in parts of the basin that are irrigated principally by artesian and surface water, and therefore only a small 

proportion of the water used to irrigate them is shallow ground water. .

In general, the lowering of-the water levels can be attributed to the 

removal of water from underground storage by pumpage for irrigation. It 

may be due in part, however, to continued adjustment of the water table 

after the rains of 1941, especially in those areas where the rise of the 

water table was relatively great in 1941.

GRANT COUNTY

By C. R. Murray

The observation-well program in Grant County began April 24, 1943, 

when the Federal Geological Survey installed an automatic water-stage 

recorder on a well on land belonging to Albert P. Mracek near the town of 

Central, just east of the Fort Bayard Military Reservation. The well was 

drilled by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, on the advice of 

Charles V. Theis, of the Federal Geological- Survey, in order to test the 

possibilities of the area for furnishing a water supply for a military 

cantonment whose establishment was contemplated. This well started in the 

upper part of the Syrena formation of the Magdalena group and was drilled 

to a depth of 288 feet. On completion it pumped approximately 570 gallons 

a minute, with a draw-down of about 28 feet after 24 hours pumping. 

Fluctuations in water level

The water level in the Mracek well is reported to nave been 220 feet 

below the surface, or at an altitude of 6,089 feet above sea level on January 8, 1943, when the well was tested. On April 9 it was 218.97 feet below 

land-surface datum, and it was 219.78 'feet on April 24 at the time the 

recorder was installed. From May 1 to December 31 the water level declined 

12,72 feet, or an average of 1.6 feet a month. This monthly average decline 

was exceptionally uniform and continuous, July alone departing much from it, 

with a decline of only 0.85 foot. The greatest monthly decline was 1.91 

feet in September. Five tape measurements of water levels were made in 

1943.

The cause of the steady decline of water level in the Mracek well seems 

to be the removal of water from storage. It appears that pumping in mines 

in the vicinity of the well is removing water from the formations .supplying 

the well at a more rapid rate than that at which the well is being naturally 

recharged. It is true that if the water in the lower strata of the lime-

« N

stone was under a lower artesian head than the water in the upper strata, 

then water from the higher beds would drain into the lower beds, and this 

would cause a reduction of water level in the well; but, as under these 

conditions equilibrium should be quickly established and a new static water 

level obtain, the decline^cannot be accounted for by climatic changes. 'All 

things considered, the removal of water from storage seems the most likely 

explanation of the continuing large decline.

HIDALQX) COUNTY (VIRDEN VALLEY)

By R. L. Cushman

The Virden Valley, in Hidalgo County, is the eastern part of the area 

commonly known as Duncan-Virden Valley, which lies along the upper Gila 

River. The western part of the area, Duncan valley, is in Oreenlee County, 

Ariz.

Periodic measurements of water levels in observation wells in the-

! /

Duncan-Virden Valley were begun in 1939, as part of a detailed investigation of its ground-water resources, by the Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior, in cooperation'with the United States Engineer 

Office, War Department, and have been continued each year since, m Virden, 

Valley 20 measurements were made in 9 wells in 1943, during seasons when 

the water levels, were at approximately their highest and lowest stages of 

the year.

heavily pumped area; that of well 5, which is at a distance from, heavy 

pumping and therefore unaffected by it, shows the fluctuations caused by 

rainfall and river flow. Both these wells are in Duncan Valley, but the 

figure includes also graphs of two wells in Vlrden Valley Nos. 201 and

LEA CODHTY

By C". R. Hurray and P. D. Akin .

Investigation of the ground-water.resources of the part of the High 

Plains surrounding Lovington', In Lea County, was continued In 1945 by the

Federal Geological Surrey In cooperation with the- State engineer of Mew

i 

Mexico. Progress reports presenting the results of the Investigation have

been published In the 9th to 15th biennial reports of the State engineer. 

Additional data on the water-level changes, precipitation, acreage of land 

irrigated with ground water, and the quantity of water used for irrigation 

have been published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Papers 817, 911, 941,' 

and 949.

Measurements were made in 86 wells in January, in 29 wells In March, 

in 28 wells In May, July, and September, and in 30 wells In November, making a total of 229 measurements fqr the year. Continuous records of waterlevel fluctuations In 2 wells were obtained with automatic water-stage 

recorders. "

.Fluctuations In water level

The precipitation in Lea County was only about 80 percent of normal 

In 1943. The United States Weather Bureau reported 11.96 inches of precipitation at Lovington, 12,41 inches at Robbs, and 12.46 inches at Tatum. 

The precipitation was 8,21 inches below normal at Lovington and 2.60 Inches 

below nonnalv at Eobbs. Considerable precipitation fell during May, June, 

July, and September, but August was dry. The precipitation during December 

at the three stations mentioned averaged nearly 2 inches but came too late 

to affect significantly the .amount of water pumped -or the position of the 

water table during the. year.

It is estimated that about 6,000 acre-feet of ground water was used to 

irrigate 5,200 acres of cropland in Lea County in 1945. In 1942 about 

3,500 acre-feet was used on 3,000 acres, and in 1941 about 1,560 acre-feet 

on 2,600 acres, the remainder of the water requirement in 1941 being furnished by the heavy precipitation of that year. In addition to the water 

pumped for Irrigation, large quantities are pumped for stock, for municipal 

supplies, aad for use in Industry. The total amount of ground water used 

in Lea County in 1943 is estimated at 12,600 acre-feet, as compared with 

9,660 acre-feet la 1942,
248 WATER LEVELS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

During 1943 water levels In general declined slightly. In 78 wells 

for which measurements are comparable, there was an average decline of 0.42 

foot, with 22 wells showing rises and 56 showing declines during the year. 

The wells that showed rises In water level are mostly Isolated from areas 

of relatively concentrated pumping, wellsiin the latter areas almost invariably showing declines. More wells showed rises In water level north of 

Lovlngton, both near Tatum and near McDonald, than south of Lovington* 

where nearly all water levels declined. The greatest rise In water level 

observed was 0.26 foot in well 13.37.7.12, which is 6 miles southeast of 

Tatum, and the largest decline recorded was 2.52 feet in well 17.37.36.141, 

which is 14 miles southeast of Lovington and Just east of Humble City.

Although the declines In the* Lovington area in 1943 were small, they 

were equivalent to significant percentages of the rises that occurred during 1941. Water levels were still in a favorable position at the end of 

the year. However, it appears that the rises which began in 1941 and continued in many wells during 1942 culminated by 1943. Under normal weather 

conditions, accelerated though not necessarily serious declines in water 

level are to be expected even with the present pumping regimen under which 

irrigation wells are, in general, widely scattered.

256 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTfiWBSTEHN STATES

LTO. COUNTY (MMBKES VALLEY) 

By C. R. Murray

Investigation of the ground-water resources of the Mimbres Valley was 

continued In 1943 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the 

State engineer of New Mexico. Progress reports on this Investigation, 

which was begun In 1927, have been published In the 10th to 13th biennial 

reports of the State engineer and In Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 

637, Statistical data on water levels, precipitation, acreage Irrigated, 

and quantity of water pumped have been published In Geological Survey 

Water-Supply Papers 817, 845, 886, 911, 941, and 949.

Measurements of water level were made In 122 wells In January, and In 

about 60 of these In April, July, and October, making a total of 328 

measurements during the year. Automatic"Water-stage recorders were In 

operation on 4 wells during the year. The measurements made during January 

show the yearly change In the amount of ground water In storage In the 

valley, and the* measurements made throughout the year snow seasonal fluctuations caused largely by the withdrawal of water for Irrigation. 

Fluctuations In water level

The precipitation recorded by the United States Weather Bur««u_at 

Demlng In 1943 was 7.80 Inches. This Is' 1.20 Inches below normal, 2.44 

Inches less than In 1942, which was a year of slightly above normal precipitation, and 5.09 Inches less than In 1941, which was a year of exceptionally heavy precipitation. Fortunately, 7.11 inches of the year's total In 

1943 fell during June, July, and August, when it was most beneficial to 

growing crops. Most of it fell as very localized thundershowers rather 

than as regional rains, and the amount-received by different tracts of land 

varied greatly.

The'amount of land Irrigated with ground water increased from about 

13,000 acres in 1942 to about 13,750 acres In 1943. Estimates of the acreage under Irrigation in 1941 and 1940 were 12,170 and 11,730 acre*, respectively. The amount of ground water pumped for use in agriculture and 

industry in 1945 is estimated at 1 about 29,OdO acre-feet. Corresponding 

estimates for 1942, 1941, and 1940 were 24,500, 21,000, and 25,500 acre-feet, 

respectively.
Figure 16. Map of Mimbres Valley, Luna County, K. Hex., showin

January, 1943 to January 1944.^
258 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

Figure 16 shows the changes in water level in the Mimbres Valley from 

January 1943 to January 1944. Water levels declined from a fraction of a 

foot to several feet over the irrigated" lands of the valley. There were 

three lar,ge areas, totaling more than 100 square miles to the east, west, 

and south of Doming in which the decline in water level was in excess of 

1 foot, the individual areas comprising about 53, 17, and 32 square miles. 

These large areas include smaller areas, totaling about 1O square miles, in 

which declines in excess of 2 feet occurred. The greatest decline in water 

level in any one well in. the area shown in figure 16 was 3.36 feet in well 

24.10.12.111, which lies southwest of Doming and northeast of Red Mountain. 

It was in this same general area that the only rise of an appreciable ar.eal 

extent occurred in 1942. With this one exception, the patterns of the 

changes in water level for the 2 years were similar, though the changes extended over larger areas in 1943. -

Along the Mimbres River, northwest of the area shown in figure 16, In 

Tps. 21 and 22 S., Rs. 10 and 11 W., water levels again declined in 1943, 

the decline averaging about 3 feet and ranging from 0.55 foot in well 

21.10.6.112 to 6.53"feet In well 21.11.13. Water levels In this area are 

still slightly higher, however, than they were prior to 1941, in which year 

large rises occurred as a result of the abnormal flow of the Mimbres River. 

During 1943 more water was removed from the Irrigated area "of Mimbres 

Valley by pumps and natural drainage than was supplied to it by' rainfall 

and stream flow. This excessive withdrawal caused the water table to decline throughout the extensive area shown. It appears that under the 

present pumping regimen and climatic conditions water levels will continue 

to decline rather rapidly" for some years to come. A period of above-normal 

precipitation might slacken the rate of decline or even cause a rise in 

water levels In the.Miuibres Valley, bufc, under the climatic conditions 

that can normally be expected, Increased pumping lifts are anticipated for 

the Deming area.

By C. R. Murray and P. D. Akin

Further study of the ground-water resources of the House area, in 

Quay County, was made in 1943 by the Federal Geological Survey In cooperation with the State engineer. Earlier data obtained during the investigation, which began in 1940 and has been conducted under the supervision of 

Charles V, fheis, on changes in water levels, precipitation records, the 

acreage of land irrigated, and the quantity of water pumped have been published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Papers 941 and 949.

Measurements of water level were made in 34 wells in the House area in 

February, March, May, July, September, and November-, making a total of'804 

measurements in 1943. Automatic water-stage'recorders were in operation 

on S wells during the year, giving a continuous record of'water-level 

fluctuation*.

Fluctuations in water level

Precipitation in 'the House area returned to about normal in 1943 after 

two wet years. The United States Weather Bureau reported 13.82 inches of 

precipitation at Hassell, 7 miles west and 4 miles north from House. This 

is 0.53 inch above normal but considerably less than,the 21.56 inches that 

fell in 1942 and the 42.52 inches in 1941. Of the year's precipitation, 

11.51- inches fell during the period May to September, when it could be used 

by crops to supply,in part, their water needs.

It is estimated that about 1,300 acres in the House area was irrigated 

with ground water in 1943. The estimates .for 1942 and 1941 were 1,250 and 

720 acres, respectively. Approximately 3,300 acre-feet of water was pumped 

 for irrigation in 1943, as compared with about 2,500 acre-feet in 1942 and 

580 acre-fe»t in 1941.

DeclJfces in water level took place in nearly all observation wells in 

the House area in 1943, as shown in figure 17. A general decline of a 

fraction oT a foot took place along Alamosa Creek for a distance of at 

least 12 miles, and declines in excess of 1 foot"took place in two areasone &' pear-shaped aj*ea, about 5% miles long and 3 milea wide at Its widest 

part and containing about 9 s(iuare miles, northeast of Heuas, and the ether 

an elliptical area of about 0.4- square mile, about 6 stifle* amst «f House.

T. 5 N., B. 29 E., and the other in sec. 13 ^in the same township >are Included in the areas in which declines occurred in 1943. The water level In 

well 5N.29.18.444, just north of House, declined 1.88 feet during 1943, and 

that in well 5N.30.20.'333, 0 miles east of House, declined 1.58 feet, 

despite the fact that at the time the 1942 measurement was made the static 

level was lower than normal because the windmill on the well was pumping. , 

Again in 1943 the areas of greatest decline were those in which the greatest 

rise occurred in 1641, and they also correspond to the, areas of heaviest' 

pumping, but only a part of the 1941 gains have been lost up to the present 

time.

ROOSEVELT COUNTY (PORTALES VALLEY) 

By C. R. Murray and P. D. Akin

Investigation of the ground-water resources of Portales Valley was 

continued in 1943 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

State engineer of New Mexico. Since its inception in 1931 the investigation has been conducted under the supervision of Charles V. Theis. Several 

progress reports setting forth the results of the Investigation have been 

published in the 10th to 13th biennial reports of the State engineer. Data, 

most of which are of a purely statistical nature, such as water-level 

measurements, precipitation records, acreage irrigated and quantity of 

water pumped, have been published In Geological Survey Water-supply Papers 

845, 886, 911, 941, and 949.

Water-level measurements were made in 168 wells in the valley In January, when water levels had largely recovered from the heavy pumping of the 

irrigation season, and in 53 wells in March, May, July, September, and 

November, making 434 measurements for the year. The measurements made in 

January show the over-all yearly changes in water level, and the bimonthly 

m'easurements show the more immediate effects of changes in the pumping 

regimen, which depend primarily on. weather conditions. During the year 

automatic water-stage recorders were In operation on 4 wells, giving a 

continuous reeewl of «iter»level fluctuations'in these wells..

Fluctuations in water level 

The precipitation recorded by tlxe United States Weather Bureau at

Portales for 1943 was 8.45 Inches, or 9.62 Inches below the normal of 18,07

 

Inches. Thla Is much less than the precipitation In 1942 and 1941, when

17.36 and- 44.10 Inches, respectively, were recorded. Little of the year-'a 

precipitation occurred during the summer months, June, with 2.26 Inches, 

being an exception, so that there was an exceptionally heavy draft on the 

ground-water supply to produce the crops grown In the valley. It Is estimated that about 17,000 acres of land was Irrigated In Portales Valley In 

1943 and that about 46,000 acre-feet of water was pumped for irrigation. 

The estimates of the acreages irrigated In 1942 and 1941 were 16,700 and 

16,000 acres, respectively, and the estimates of ground water pumped were 

23,600 and 9,760 acre-feet, respectively.

The increased use of water for irrigation in 1943 caused marked declines 

in water level throughout Portales Valley. Changes in water level from 

January 1943 to. January 1944 in part of the valley are shown in figurs 18. 

Water levels declined over an elliptical area of about 300 square miles in 

this part of the valley more than a foot over about 120 square miles extending along Its axis. This elliptical area of decline is about 30 miles 

long_from northwest to southeast and near Its southeast end extends through - 

the Arch area.

Included in the area of 120 square miles mentioned as showing declines 

of more than a foot are two smaller areas in which water levels declined 

more than 2 feet one of about 48 square miles surrounding Portales and one

of about 13 square miles surrounding Arch and In parts of these two smaller

 

areas declines exceeded 3 feet. The part surrounding Portales enclosed by _

the 3-foot contour of decline contains about 30 square miles and the part 

surrounding Arch about half a square mile, as indicated by two wells. In 

a still smaller area surrounding Portales containing about 14 square miles 

declines In excess of 4 feet occurred, and two areas included in this 14 

square miles showed declines in excess of 5ifeet. Of the two last-meatloned 

areas, one, of about 3 square miles, is just northwest of Portales, and the 

other; of l.fi square miles, is just southeast of Portales. Well 1.34.27.211, 

which is northwest of Portales, showed a decline of 6.12Tf*et.

Water levels also declined significantly in Blackwater Draw, which 

lies between the sand-hill areas north of Portales. The extent of the 

areas over which declines of 1 and 2 feet occurred is somewhat uncertain, 

as water levels are measured in only a few observation wells in the" sandhill area between Portales Valley and Blacfkwater Draw. The number of 

observation wells in Blackwater Draw is also small and the wells are*rather 

widely spaced; however, as declines in excess of 2 feet were measured in 

several of tn* wells, an appreciable lowering of the water table took.place 

in this area.

The declines in water level in Portales Valley in 1945 were greater 

and more extensive than the declines in 1942. The cone of depression that 

has resulted from the concentrated pumping around Portales spread out both 

parallel to and across the valley, taking in the area about 9 miles northwest of Portables where -there had been a rise in water level in 1942 and 

also the s^rea northeast of Portales where many wells showed rises in wate? 

level in 1042. Well 1.34.13.412 in this area, however, showed a rise of 

1.09 feet during 1945. The distribution on each side of Portalea of the 

two areas where declines in excess of 5 feet occurred and the pinching together of the other contour lines in the vicinity of Portales show clearly 

that within the corporate limits of Portales lesjs water is pumped than in 

the immediately adjacent areas. In Blackwater Draw the area of decline in 

water level in 1945 appears similar in shape v and extent to the area of decline in 1942, but declines were considerably larger in 1943.

Water levels began to decline in many wells in Portales Valley shortly 

after the beginning of the year and continued to decline rather steadily 

until the end of September, when they became about stationary, and they 

either remained so or else rose slightly until the end of the year. The 

large declines along the Portales Valley and Blaokwater Draw appear,to be 

caused by a combination of the effects of transpiration and evaporation 

and of pumping water'from irrigation wells, pumping being a much larger 

factor in Portales Valley than in the lightly pumped Blackwater Draw area, 

Despite the large declines in water levels in 1942 and 1043, water levels r ~

in nearly all wells in the Portales Valley are still higher than they were

Just previotts to the period of abnormal precipitation io. 1941j,^owefwr, if

i ' v - 

declines as large-as those of 1942 and 1943 occur to 1944, ."the water levels

in many wells will be as low as they were just prior to th* period of abnormal precipitation in 1941.

SIERRA COPWTY (HOT SPRIMQS ARM)

By C. R, Murray

Water-level measurements were continued in Sierra County fa 1943 under ! 

the observation-well program- established in 1939, at which time the investigation of the thermal waters at Hot Springs was begun bj the Federal 

Geological Survey in cooperation with the State engineer of Hew Mexico. A 

general rejjprt on the investigation has been prepared for publication In a 

forthcoming biennial report of the State engineer. Records of 'water-level 

fluctuations sinee 1939 have been, published in Geological Survey WaterSupply .Papers '911, 941, and 949.
296 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

Measurements were made In 14 observation wells In April, July, and 

October, and these added to 12 other measurements made at Irregular tlmea 

make a total of 54 water-level measurements during the year. Twelve of 

the observation wells obtain thermal artesian water from the Magdalena 

limestone; the remaining well Is dug only Into the alluvium. This shallow 

well and two of the artesian wells were equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders^throughout 1943.

Fluctuations In water level and artesian head

There was little change In water level or artesian head from November 

24, 1942, to April 28, 1943. Measurements made on these two days are 

practically Identical, and the records obtained by the water-stage recorders 

show only slight fluctuations during this period. Water levels and artesian 

head began declining about the first of May and continued through September. 

During the period April 28 to July 8 the average fall In artesian head In 

the 12 observation wells was 0.22 foot, and during the period July 8 to 

October 10 It was 0.23 foot. Beginning In October and continuing to the 

end of the year there was little change In artesian head, the average change 

during the. period October 10, 1943, to January 6, 1944, being a rise of 0.01 

foot. An average that better represents the rise during this period^ however. Is about 0.06 foot, obtained by dropping certain erratic measurements 

In computing It. The decline In artesian head for the period April 28, 

1943, to January 6, 1044, averaged about 0.45 foot. The fluctuations In 

water level were similar to* the changes In artesian head, although smaller. 

For example, well 6A showed a decline of 0.07 foot during the period April 

28 to July 8f a decline of 0.17 foot during the period July 8 to October 10, 

a rise of 0.09 foot during the period October 10, 1943, to January 6, 1944, 

and Its net change In water level for the period April 28, 1943, to January 6, 1944, was a decline of 0.13 foot.

Hydrographs of artesian head made for 1941, 1942, and 1943 are quite

<» 

different. In well 6, which can be considered typical of the artesian

wells, the artesian head in 1941 was,about 0.5 foot above the land surface 

until September, when- it began to rise, reaching 1.6 feet by the end of the 

year. It remained fairly stationary In 1942 until the end of May, when it 

rose sharply to nearly 3.00 feet. It then began declining, reaching about 

1.0 foot by the end of September and remaining at about that level for the 

rest of the year. In 1943 the artesian head began declining in May,
NEW MEXICO, SIERRA COUNTY 297

decreasing to about 0..6 foot by the end of September and remaining at about 

that level for the rest of the year. As in the previous years the stage 'of 

the Rio Grande at Hot Springs in 1943 was the chief factor in controlling 

artesian head and water levels.

TORRAHCB COUNTY (ESTAMCIA VALLEY) 

[ By C. R. Murray

Water-level measurements were continued in 1943 in the observation 

wells established in 1941 throughout Estaneia Valley by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the State engineer of New Mexico. The well 

program forms part of an investigation of the ground-water resources of the 

valley. Records of measurements in these wells for 1941 and 1942 have been 

published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Papers 941 and 949. A comprehensive report by 0. E. Melnzer, of the Federal Geological Survey, on the - 

geology and hydrology of Estanoia*Valley was published in 1911 as WaterSupply Paper 275. In that report, in addition to describing the geologic

conditions which control the occurrence of ground water la the valley, Mr. 

Melnzer discusses the practical aspects of irrigation by ground water in 

the area and the Interrelated factors, climate and soils.-

Fluctuations In water level

As Estancla Valley Is a closed basin, the position of the water table 

is dependent primarily on the amount of precipitation received within Its 

boundaries. Other factors influencing the position of the water table are 

the rate of evaporation from the salt lakes, the xsate of transpiration and 

evaporation from areas in which the depth to water is slight, and the rate 

at which water may drain from the valley through subsurface channels. As 

the rate at which natural withdrawal proceeds is probably fairly uniform, 

variations In precipitation no doubt form the principal factor In producing 

sudden changes In water level In the valley. The amount of water used for 

Irrigation, stock, and Industrial purposes Is only a small percentage of 

that removed by natural processes. In 1943 the United States Weather 

Bureau reported 10.56 inches of precipitation at Estancla, which Is 2.85 

Inches below normal, and 13.81 Inches at Mclntosh, about 7 miles north of

Estancia, which Is 0.31 Inch above normal. N ,

> 

As In previous years most of the water used for Irrigation was pumped

from two wells, Nos. 5.8.17.311 and 5.8.17.323, owned by Ray Brown. About 

150 acres was Irrigated by these wells. The land was planted "to vegetables, 

some of which were grown for seed, and corn and oats. It- Is estimated that 

about 150 acre-feet of water was pumped from these wells. Windmills supplied 

water for numerous gardens In the valley and were used on wells 9.9.32.121 

and 121a by G. L. Deen for raising several acres of alfalfa and potatoes 

and other garden vegetables. '

Measurements were made in approximately 60 wells In February, 'June, 

and September, making a total of 174 measurements In 1943. One automatic 

water-stage recorder was In operation In the valley in 1943. .In 53 wells 

for which records are comparable there was an average decline of 0.09 foot 

during 1943, 21 wells showing-rises and 32 showing declines. Water levels 

declined in general in the central part of the valley and rose along its 

eastern and western margins. The few observation .-wells located in R, 7 E. 

and those in the eastern part of R. 10 E. uniformly show rises in water 

levels*. Of the rises that occurred along the central part of the valley,
Tsrm MEXICO, TQRHANCE COUNTY - ' 301

in Rs. 8 afcd 9 £., practically all were in veils lying north of Estancia, 

wells west of Witt being especially consistent in showing'Vises. Water - 

levels In wells south of Estancia declined almost without exception. The 

great ^st'fteel in e in water level, 1.45 feet, took place in well 6.8.24.111, 

2 miles south of Estancia, and the largest rise, 2.59 feet, in, well 

6.9.9.g22, 4 miles east of Estancia. The latter well has a low specific 

capacity, yielding only about 0.5 gallon per foot of draw-down, and the 

water level ir strongly affected when the windmill on the well is pumping; 

therefore, soitfe of the observed rise may be due to the effects of pumping 

even though no pumping occurred 12 hours previous to the measurements made 

in February of each of the years 1943 and 1944.

As in other areas in New Mexico water levels are in general at an intermediate stage between their stages previous to the heavy rains of 1941 

and the high Stages they attained subsequently; however, in many wells no 

declines have taken place as yet, and water levels are at their highest 

recorded Stages.

It thus appears that water may still be moving into Estancia Valley 

from the west at a rate greater than normal as a result of the heavy precipitation in 1941, but evaporation and transpiration in the" central part

of the valley ar.e probably taking place at an accelerated rate, and water '

i

levels in this area may continue to decline. Precipitation,in the form of 

snow, was considerably" above normal in Estancia Valley and the Manzano 

Mountains to the west in December 1943, which makes the outlook for the 

position of the water table in 1944 favorable.
