Part 6. 30UTHWSSTBJW STATES

INTRODTJOTIOH 

By 0. S. Helnzer and L. K. Wenzel

The rook formations of the earth are great natural underground 

reservoirs in which a part of the water derived from rain and snow is 

stored to supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams 

during periods of fair weather, V&ter levels in wells register the stages 

of these natural reservoirs} they show the extent to which water supplies 

are depleted by drought or by heavy puaping for public waterworks, Irrigatlon, or Industrial uses and the extent to which they axe 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.

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian 

pressure in the IJnlted 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 1959* 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 aeetion. 

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

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

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

been covered.

observation wells of the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies In 

Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Hew Mexico. Of these wells, 71 are 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells not previously reported complete records of water level are given In this volume, 

Including those for the years before 1942. 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

4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN GROUND-WATER LEVEL IN 1942 

IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OP THE UNITED STATES

In 1942 the precipitation was below normal In Arizona and New Mexico, 

normal In California, and somewhat above normal In Hawaii. As would be 

expected from this difference In precipitation from place to place, the 

fluctuations of water level during 1942 also differed from place to place. 

The fluctuations of water level and artesian head In wells depend, however, 

on many factors besides the amount of precipitation. Consequently, It Is 

usually not possible to find a simple relation between the changes In water 

level or artesian head and the departure from normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the Interpretive texts 

that appear In, this volume under the three States covered and the Territory 

of Hawaii. They summarize the changes In ground-water level and artesian 

head that occurred In 1942 In the parts of the underground reservoirs In 

the southwestern States and Hawaii that are tapped by the observation wells.

Arizona. The ground-water level In Graham County, Safford Valley, 

was about 0.4 foot higher at the end of 1942 than at the end of 1941. The 

pumpage for Irrigation during the year was 18,900 acre-feet, or more than 

twice the pumpage during 1941. The fact that the water levels were higher 

at the end of 1942 than at the end of 1941 In spite of the greatly Increased 

pumpage may be explained as the delayed effect of the recharge that occurred 

In the wet winter of 1940-41 and In September 1941.

California. The water level In well 42a at Baldwin Park, a key observation well In the San Gabriel River Basin, declined from a mean dally 

altitude of 312.82 feet, the highest of the year, reached on January 1, to 

a low mean dally altitude of 295.16 feet, reached on December 30. On 

December 31, 1942, the mean dally altitude of the water level was 295.17 

feet 17.65 feet below the high stage of the year aad 17.70 feet below the 

stage of December 31, 1941. The water level in the Williams well, a key 

well in the Santa Ana Basin, showed a net decline of 11.50 feet, Water 

levels in 10 wells distributed over the San J^olnto Valley Indicate a mean 

decline of 4.2 feet. The change ranged from a rise of 3.54 feet to a 

decline of 15.39 feet. Water levels in five observation wells in the Tla 

Juana River Basin registered an average decline of 1.24 feet. ^
INTRODUCTIOH 5

In the San Diego River Basin water levels declined from October 1941 

to November 1942. In a well at El Monte Park the decline was 9.54 feet; 

in six wells above Vicente Creek the net average decline was 2.45 feet, in 

8 wells below San Vicente Creek it was 1.89 feet; and in 6 wolle in Mission 

Valley it was 1.38 feet.

The water levels in four observation wells in the San Dleguito River 

Basin showed a net average decline of 2.04 feet from November 1941 to 

November 1942.

Hater levels in the MoJava River Basin declined generally throughout 

the year, except in the valley between Victorville and Eodge and in the 

Lenwood-Barstow area, where no definite changes were noticeable.

In Antelope Valley, the downward trend of the water levels which has 

been in effect for several years continued during 1948. The stages reached 

in December 1942 ranged from 1 to 8 feet lower than those reached in 

December 1941 and averaged about 4 feet lower.

The water levels in 24 observation wells in the Mokelxrane area, San 

Joaquln County, rose an average of 2.02 feet during the period January 1 to 

May 31 and declined an average of 1.30 fee* during the period June 1 to 

December 31. At the end of the year they averaged 0.72 foot higher than 

at the end of 1941.

Territory of Hawaii, Hater levels in most wells on Oahu, Hawaii, 

Lanai, and leeward Maul showed a net rise in 1941; those in wells on Kauai, 

Molokai, and windward Maui showed a decline. The average rainfall for the 

Territory was 98.10 Inches, which is 13.40 inches above the average for 

1941 and 7.7 Inches above normal. The drought that started in 1940 ended 

in 1942. The total pumpage during 1942 was 184,462,67 million gallons, 

which is 20,338.21 million gallons less than during 1941.

Hew Mexico. In ths eastern part of the State the year 1942 was marked 

by a readjustment of water levels following the very heavy precipitation 

of 1941. In Portales Valley, Roosevelt County, and in the House area, 

Quay County, water levels declined somewhat in areas in which they rose 

considerably during the preceding year but continued to rise somewhat in 

areas in which their rises in the preceding year were small. In northern 

Lea County, where there are few irrigation wells, rises in water level that
6 WATER LEVELS AHD AKHBSIAK PHESSUHB, 1942, SODTHWBSTBM STATES

began in 1941 continued in 1942; in the pumped areas the water levels 

declined. The shallow water table in the Roawell artesian basin declined 

In the heavily pumped areas hut rose slightly in the margins of those areas. 

The artesian head of the water in the San Andres limestone in the Roawell 

artesian basin at the end of 1942 was at about the same level as at the 

end of the preceding year. In moat of the heavily pumped Doming area, in 

the southwestern part of the State, water levels declined during 1942, 

indicating withdrawals of water in excess of recharge.
ARIZONA

INTRODUCTION 

By S. P. Turner

The program of water-level measurement? in Arizona, which forms part 

of a general investigation of the ground-water resources of the State, was 

continued during 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department 

of the Interior, in cooperation with the State land Commissioner of 

Arizona, the United States Engineer Office of the T»ar Department, and the 

Office of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior. The program 

in 1942 covered the Santa Cruz Valley, in Plma, .final, and Santa Cruz 

Counties; the Queen Creek area, in Xaricopa and final Counties; Safford 

Valley, in Graham County, and Dun can Valley, in Qreanlee County.

Because of the reduction in personnel due to the war, the number of 

measurements in each observation well and, consequently, the total number 

in the State, were less in 1942 than in 1941, But the number of wells 

observed was greater, owing to the addition of aome, not heretofore 

included, in the lower part of the Santa Cruz River Basin and in the Gila 

River Basin in the stretch from the Ashuret-Hayden Dam to the mouth of 

Santa Cruz River,

Since the beginning of the war there has bean intermittent cooperation 

between the Geological Survey and the United States Engineer Office on the 

problem of water supply for the various existing and proposed camps and 

airfields. In order*to determine the fluctuations of water level in wells 

at camps and airfields and to study the effect of these additional withdrawals on the water levels and total ground-water supplies of the areas 

in which they are situated, routine measurements of wells at the camps 

and airfields have been and will continue to be made.

During 1942 pumpage for irrigation increased in all the areas studied, 

the increases over the preceding year ranging from about 15 percent in 

Duncan Valley to about 115 percent in Safford Valley. These increases 

were the result of a dry year in 1942 as compared to 1941, 7

Records of all measurements of water level in Arizona in 1942, totaling 

2,374 in 414 observation wells, are given in this report.

Preliminary tabulations containing information on the ground-water 

resources in several of the areas under investigation were released in 

mimeographed form during 1942. They are as follows:

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Arizona are listed alphabetically by counties and 

numerically within each county. If appropriate, the ground-water area is 

added after the county name. Complete descriptions are given only for newly 

added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a well 

number indicate 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 that paper. The water level in 

each well is expressed in feet below a fixed measuring point "unless otherwise indicated.

GRAHAM COUNTY (SAPPORD VALLEY)

By W. T. Stuart and R. L. Cushman

The observation-well program in Safford Valley, Graham County, begun 

in 1939 ,was continued during 1942 by the Federal Geological Survey in 

cooperation with the State Land Commissioner of Arizona and the Federal 

Office of Indian Affairs, although somewhat curtailed by the wartime 

reduction in personnel. The work included collecting data on the quantity 

of water pumped for Irrigation and records on the experimental station, 

which was operated throughout the year.

In all, l,63fa measurements of water level were made in 189 wells, in 

one of which a weekly water-stage recorder was maintained. The average of 

these measurements shows that the ground-water level was about 0.4 foot 

higher at the end of 1942 than at the end of 1941. The pumpage for 

irrigation during the year was found to be 18,900 acre-feet, or more than
ARIZQKA, GRAHAM COUNTY

twice the pumpage during 1941. The fact that the water levels were higher 

at the end of 1942 than at the end of 1941 in spite of the greatly increased 

pumpage may be explained as the delayed effect of the recharge that occurred 

in the wet winter of 194Q-41 and in September 1941.

Hie fluctuations of the water levels in several typical observation 

wells for the period of record, the total puapage by months, and tae 

monthly precipitation at Safford are shown by graphs in figure 2. The 

graphs shew that the fluctuations In 1941 and 1942 were similar but that 

they were more pronounced in 1942. The greater fluctuations in the later 

year were caused by the combination of heavier pumping and good recharge. 

The graph for well 662, which is in the eastern and upper part of the 

valley, shows the fluctuations in a well isolated from pumping. This well 

was substituted in the program for well 433, a nearby we'll that went dry 

at the end of June 1942. (Graphs of well 433 appear in Water-Supply Papers 

911 and 941.) In well 597, which is 2 miles west of Solomonsville, the 

fluctuations in 1942 are typical of those in a heavily pumped area near a 

canal. The graph for this well indicates a rise in water level in April as 

the result of irrigation recharge at the beginning of the growing season 

and a decline during the summer months as the result of heavy pumping. In 

well 616, which is south of Safford and near a canal, the fluctuations, as 

shown by the graph, reflect the effects of recharge frott the canal and from 

the underflow of Stockton Creek and its tributary washes. The graph for 

well 282, which is near a canal west of Pima, shows the effect of canal and 

irrigation recharge on water level without the counter effect of nearby 

pumping. The graph for well 76, which is at the western end of the 

cultivated part of the valley, also shows fluctuations in an area away from 

pumped wells. In this well there was little change in the water level 

until June, and then there was a decline, owing to ground-water percolation 

into the river during low flow.

GREENLEE COUNTY (DUNCAN VALLEY) 

By H. M. Babcock and R. L. Cushman

Duncan Valley Is the western part of the area commonly known as the 

Duncan-Vlrden Valley, which lies along the jupper Glla River, In Greenlee 

County, Arlz., and Hidalgo County, N. Mex. A detailed Investigation of the 

ground-water resources of the Duncan-Vlrden Valley was conducted during the 

period October 1, 1939,to May 31, 1941, by the Geological Survey, United 

States Department of the Interior, In cooperation with the United States 

Engineer Office, War Department, and a preliminary report on It was released 

by the Geological Survey. The work included the periodic measurement of 

water levels In observation wells, which was continued for the remainder of 

the year 1941 and all through 1942. In 1942, 33 wells were under observation.

During 1942 the water levels In most of the observation wells, 25 of 

which are in Greenlee County, Arlz., were measured twice, and the amount of 

water pumped was computed. In all, 68 water-level measurements were made, 

52 of which were made In wells In Greenlee County. About 1,600 acre-feet 

of water was pumped from wells in the entire area.

Graphs showing the fluctuations of water level In several of the 

observation wells, the monthly precipitation at Duncan, Ariz., and the 

monthly pumpage for Irrigation are given in figure 3. Because only 

Infrequent measurements of water level were made In 1942, the fluctuations 

In that year are represented by dashed lines.

MARICOPA COUNTY (QUEEN CREEK AREA)

By B. M. Gushing

5ttie measuring of water levels In observation wells in the Queen Creek 

area, in Maricopa and Final Counties, begun as part of the general investigation of the ground-water resources in the State, was continued during 1942, 

as was also the collecting of data on the quantity of water pumped for 

irrigation from wells in this area and in several adjacent areas. In all, 

166 individual measurements were made in 45 wells in the area during the 

year. In the part of the area that is in Maricopa County, 123 tape measurements were made in 34 wells, one of which is equipped with a continuous

water~stage recorder. _______

a Measurement made in new well.
32 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

Measurements made of wells In the part of the Queen Creek area that is 

in Final County are given in this report under that county, but the 

fluctuations of water levels in wells In the entire area are discussed under 

Maricopa County, because the larger part of the area is in Maricopa County. 

Graphs showing the fluctuations in typical wells during the period of record 

are given in figure 4, as are also graphs showing the pumpage, by months, 

In the Queen Creek Irrigation District and the precipitation, by months, 

at Superior, Ariz. Most of the pumpage was from wells in Maricopa County. 

The following table gives the pumpage for irrigation in 1942, by months, 

in the Queen Creek Irrigation District and in several adjacent areas.

The water-level measurements in the outlying wells show a progressive 

decline in water levels, which indicates that water is still being withdrawn at a rate In excess of the* rate of replenishment. The water-level 

measurements in the wells in the area of heavy pumping show a seasonal 

lowering of the water table as a result of this pumping. (See graph of 

well 261, fig. 4). When pumping stops, watsr levels in the heavily, 

pumped area rise as a result of recharge by underground percolation from 

outlying areas. Thus the yearly decline in the water table caused by the 

pumping Is spread over the entire area. (See graph of well 41, fig. 4.)

Water levels In the relatively shallow wells in the valley of Qusen 

Creek near the base of the Final Mountains began to decline in the early 

spring of 1942 and continued to decline throughout the year. (See graph 

of well 23, fig. 4.) This decline is due to the lack of surface flow 

in Queen Creek and the slow percolation of the ground water from the canyon 

into the area below.

The water level in well 35 {see fig. 4), situated on the desert plain 

about half a mile from Queen Creek and a few miles downstream from the mouth 

of the canyon, continued to rise during the year. This rise is the continuation of the one which began In the spring of 1941 and is caused by the 

recharge resulting from the unusually wet winter of 1940-41. The delay in 

the manifestation of this recharge is attributed to the depth of the water 

table in this well. t

PIMA COUNTY 

By H. R. McDonald and M. J. Scott

Measurementsof water levels In observation wells In Plma County were 

continued In 1942 as part of the program covering the Santa Cruz Valley In 

Plma, Plnal, and Santa Cruz Counties, In which the United States Engineer 

Office cooperated until July 1. In all, 161 Individual measurements were 

made during the year In 56 wells In Plma County.

Graphs showing the fluctuations of water level In five observation 

wells In Plma County and one In Santa Cruz County, over a period of more 

than 3 years, are given In figure 5 This figure shows also the combined 

pumpage from wells In both counties during 1941 and 1942 and precipitation 

during the period of the program at the University of Arizonastation of the 

United States Heather Bureau at Tucson.

Precipitation during 1942 was several Inches below normal,but during 

each of the two preceding years It was several Inches above normal. Recharge 

to the ground water for the 3 years of the Investigation Can therefore be 

considered as at least normal.

The total pumpage from wells In the Santa Cruz Basin In Plma and Santa 

Cruz Counties In 1942 was about 100,000 acre-feet, which exceeded the pumpage In 1941 by approximately 20,000 acre-feet. The pumpage In parts of the 

area In each of these years probably exceeded somewhat the safe perennial 

yield, which has been estimated to be about 80,000 acre-feet for the two 

counties.

Water levels were measured monthly In Plma County In 5 wells and less 

frequently in 51 other wells.

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

northwest of Tucson. The water level In this well rose slightly during the 

winter of 1942 but declined abruptly during the Irrigation season. It

recovered quickly after pumping ceased, but at the end of the year it was 

more than 4 feet lower than at the beginning of the year and about 1C% feet 

lower than in December 1939. The 3-year trend was downward, indicating 

that withdrawals exceed recharge.

Well 2823 is a shallow dug well situated 500 feet north of Rillito 

Creek in the area northeast of Tucson. It has not been used since measurements began in 1939. Because of the coarse material prevalent in the area 

and the proximity of the well to Rillito Creek, the effects of recharge and 

pumping in the vicinity are quickly registered in this well. During the 

winter months of 1942 floods in Rillito Creek raised the water level in the 

well, but in April pumping, coupled with the dry spring season, caused it 

to decline. The decline continued throughout the remainder of the year. 

However, the ground-water reservoir had been recharged to such an extent 

during the unusually wet winter of 1940-41 that the water level at the end 

of the year was tbout 2 feet higher than when measurements were begun in 

1939.

VJell 4156 is an unused, relatively deep well situated east of Tucson 

and isolated from heavy pumping. Since this well taps the deep groundwater horizons that are tapped also by some wells in Tucson, its mild 

fluctuations show the effects of long-time withdrawals and recharge in the 

area. Recharge occurring during the winter of 1940-41 caused a slight rise 

In the water level of this well beginning in Sept0mber 1941 and lasting 

through March 1942. From March to the end of 1943 the water Isvel declined 

slightly. During the 3-year period of measurement it declined almost 1 

foot.

Well 4379 is a used irrigation well 4 miles south of Tuoson, near the 

Santa Cruz River, in the vicinity of the wells that supply water to the 

city of Tucson. The water level in this well rose during the period January 

to April 1942, declined during the irrigation season, started to rise again 

in September, and was approximately 1 foot lower at the end than at the 

beginning of the year. During the 3-year period of observation, it declined 

about 3^ feet.

Well 8686 is a domestic well in a heavily pumped area near Sahuarita, 

18 miles south of Tucson. Its water level declined moderately during the 

irrigation season of 1942 and r»ecovered at the close of the season, but 

it was 1 foot lower at the end of December than at the beginning of the year
ARIZONA, PIMA COUNT?.

and 3% feet lower than at the beginning of the period of observation 3 

years before. The downward trend of the water level in the five wells here 

discussed and also In the 51 other observation wells in Pima County is 

typical of the lowering of the level of the water table in the larger part 

of the area.

FINAL COUNTY 

By E. M. Gushing

'flells in Final County under observation in 1942 included 89 in the 

Santa Cruz and Gila River Basins, in which 306 measurements of water level 

were made, and 11 in the Queen Creek area, in which 43 measurements were 

made. This represents the addition of 38 wells, all in the Santa Cruz and 

Gila River Basins, to the number in the county under observation in the 

preceding year. The addition 1 was made in order that the effects of pumping 

and recharge in the Santa Cruz River Basin might be measured not only in 

the Casa Grande-Bloy area but in all that part of the basin between the 

Pinal-Pima county line and the confluence of the Santa Cruz with the Gila 

River and in the Gila River Basin between the Ashurst-Hayden Dam and the 

confluence of the Santa Cruz and Gila Rivers. The United States Engineer 

Office cooperated until July 1 in the program covering the Santa Cruz River 

Basin.

The water-level fluctuations in the'll*wells in Final County that are 

in the Queen Creek area are discussed with those of other wells in that 

area under Maricopa County, as the larger part of the Queen Creek area is 

in Maricopa County. Graphs showing the fluctuations in 3 of these wells 

appear in figure 4, which is also included under Maricopa County.

The pumpage during 1942 from the ground-water reservoir in the Santa 

Cruz and Gila River Basins in Final County was about 500,000 acre feet, 

which includes pumpage from wells of the San Carlos Irrigation District 

and of the United States Indian Service, as obtained from their records.

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 the 

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 Grande Ruins National Monument.

Well 890, situated a few miles northwest of Casa Grande, is at the 

western edge of an area irrigated mainly by surface water and at the 

eastern edge of an area irrigated by pumped water. The water level in this 

well remained at about the same elevation during the first quarter of the 

year and then began to decline slightly as the result of pumping. About

June the recharge from irrigation and canal seepage overbalanced the effect 

of pumping, causing a rise in the water level that continued until irrigation ceased in November. After the irrigation season the water level 

showed little change, with just a slight decline at the end of the year.

Well 975, situated about 1 mile northeast of Casa Grande, was used 

again as an irrigation well during 1942. The graph of this well shows a 

decline of the water level in each of several months, caused by pumping of 

the well, and the consequent recovery of the water level after pumping 

ceased.

Well 1532, which is about 7 miles southwest of Casa Grande, is in an 

area of heavy pumping. Measurements of this well showed that pumping

lowered the water table during 1942 and that the water table partially 

recovered at the end of the pumping season. As can be seen on the graph, 

the water level was about 4 feet lower at the end of 1942 than at the end 

of 1941.

Well 1795, -which is in the center of the heavily pumped area south of 

Eloy, was more heavily pumped in 1942 than in 1941. The fluctuations of 

the water level In this well are similar for the 2 years, showing rapid 

decline during the pumping season and partial recovery at the end of the 

season, but the static water level was several feet lower at the end of 

1942 than at the end of 1941.

Well 1798, about 6.5 miles southwest of Eloy, is near the western edge 

of the heavily pumped Eloy area. The graph of this well for 1942 shows a 

steady decline in the water level, which was a continuation of its constant 

decline since measurements began in April 1940, a definite indication that 

water is being withdrawn from the Eloy area at a rate in excess of the rate 

of replenishment.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY 

By H. R. McDonald and M. J. Scott

The observation of selected wells In Santa Cruz County in 1942 formed 

part of the program covering the Santa Cruz Valley, the larger part of which 

lies in Plma and Final Counties. The United States Engineer Office cooperated 

in the program until July 1. During the year 53 Measurements of water 

level were made in 10 wells in Santa Cruz County.

A graph showing fluctuations of water level In one well In Santa Cruz 

County Is Included In figure 5, which Is made up of graphs of typical 

wells in the Santa Cruz River Basin In this county and in Plma County. 

The same figure shows also the combined pumpage In the two counties during
ARIZONA, SAHTA CHGZ COUHTY 57

1941 and 1942 and the precipitation during the period of the program at the 

University of Arizona station of the United States Weather Bureau at Tucson.

The rainfall In Santa Cruz County during 1942 was below normal, but 

during the preceding year It was a little above normal. The ground-water 

recharge during 1942 should be considered as somewhat below normal.

The combined pumpage from wells In Plma and Santa Cruz Counties was 

25 percent greater In 1942 than In 1941, being about 100,000 acre-feet In 

1942 and 80,000 acre-feet In 1941. The pumpage In each of these years 

probably exceeded the safe perennial yield.

The greatest decline In water level In 1942 observed In the county was 

In well 1525. This well Is located near the Santa Cruz River about 0.2 mile 

downstream from the Infiltration gallery and pumping station that furnishes 

water to the city of Nogales. During 1942 the water level declined from 

January to June, began to rise In July as a result of recharge from the 

flood flow In the SantaCruz River, and continued to rise during August and 

September. It dropped slightly In October, remaining approximately static 

thereafter to the end of the year. Prom the time of the first measurement, 

In November 1939, until December 30, 1942, the water level declined 23 feet. 

During these 3 years, the water levels In the other 10 observation wells 

In the county declined from 2 to 10 feet.

INTRODUCTION

The following report shows the progress made In 1942 by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, In the measurement of 

water levels In California. Part of this work was done In connection with 

Intensive Investigations of the ground-water resources made In special areas 

by the Geological Survey In cooperation with other agencies. In the part 

of the report that deals with southern California In general, the wells are 

classified by river basins; In the other parts,they are classified by 

counties.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Most observation wells In California for which records are given In 

this report are listed herein either by river basins or by counties, both 

of which are arranged alphabetically. Three of the wells among those 

classified by river basins, however, because of their importance as key 

wells, are placed at the beginning of the list, even though this Interferes 

with the alphabetical arrangement of the basins. Within each river basin 

or county, the wells are listed numerically, with the exception of one of 

the key wells, which Is listed by name. Complete descriptions are given 

for only newly added wells. The numbers In parentheses Immediately following a well number Indicate 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 that paper. The water 

level In each of the wells listed under a river basin is expressed in feet 

below a fixed measuring point; the water level in each well listed under a 

county is expressed in feet below land-surface datum,, which is a precise 

plane of reference that coincides with the average level of the land surface 

at the well. In the descriptive text, if any, preceding the water levels 

given for each well listed under a county, the position of that reference 

plane Is defined with reference to the current measuring point at the well 

and to the datum plane for water levels published in earlier reports. For 

convenience, the name of the ground-water area is added after the county

name if appropriate.

RIVER BASINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

By P. C. Ebert

The Federal Geological Survey continued during 1942 Its program of 

measuring the depth to water level In selected wells In southern California. 

In addition, systematic measurements were made by other agencies in several 

areas In this general region. The Division of Hater Resources of the 

Department of Public Works', State of California, continued the assembling of 

records of wells in the south coastal basins collected by various agencies 

but did not, aa in previous years, publish a report embodying these records.

CLIMATOLOGIC DATA

The following general summary of climatologic data for the calendar

I/ 

year 1942 la taken from a report of the Heather Bureau:

"The annual precipitation for 1942 approximated the 46-year average. 

It was well above normal In the central and northern coastal basins and the 

Sacramento drainage basin, approximated the normal in the San Joaquin 

drainage basin, and was deficient elsewhere, especially in southern 

California where some stations had less than half of their usual annual 

amount. Monthly State averages exceeded the normal only in April, Hay, 

August and November. In southern California all months had subnormal 

precipitation except April and August. Local floods occurred in the southeastern desert regions following heavy rains on August 9, with property loss 

heavy in the Death Valley area. The number of thunderstorms was smaller 

than usual. Damage by grass, brush, and forest fires was subnormal.

"The total annual snowfall was only 79 percent of the 46-year average. 

April, May, and June were the only months with excesses. The total snowfall 

for the 1941-42 season, however, exceeded the normal, except in southern 

California, and water for irrigation was ample. The snow cover at the end 

of the year was only 34 percent of the normal. The ground was then generally 

bare below the 4,000-foot level in northern California, below the 5,000-foot 

level in the middle Sierra Nevada, and below the 6,000-foot level in the 

southern Sierra Nevada and mountains of southern California."

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL 

*

San Gabriel River Basin

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

2/ 

42a at Baldwin Park, in the upper San Gabriel Valley. The water level in

this well declined from a mean daily altitude of 312.82 feet, the highest of 

the year, reached on January 1, to a low mean daily altitude of 295.16 feet, 

reached on December 30. On December 31, 1942, the mean dally altitude of 

the water level was 295.17 feet--17.65 feet below the high stage of the 

year and 17.70 feet below the stage of December 31, 1941.

62 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

Santa Ana River Basin 

San Bernardino area

The water level In the Williams well stood at 15.42 feet below the 

reference point on January 5. It rose to 11.16 feet by February 7, declined 

to 15.25 feet by March 14, and then rose to 10.94 feet, the high point of 

the year, which it reached on May 2. From this date on the decline was 

continuous until the low stage of the year, 24.92 feet,was reached on 

November 21.

The water level In the Redlands well, U. S. 101, declined from 42.97 

feet below the reference point, at which stage it stood on January 5, 1942, 

to a stage of 43,48 feet, which it reached on January 1, 1943.

Measurements of water level made during 1942 in 10 wells, distributed 

over the valley, indicate a mean decline of 1.7 feet from .November 1941 to 

November 1942. The range of change varied from a rise of 5.95 feet, in 

well 94, near the north rim of the valley, to a decline of 9.87 feet, in 

well 117, west of Redlands.

San Jacinto Valley

The water level in well 72c rose from 72.52 feet below the reference 

point, its stage on November 7, 1941, to 71.64 feet, its stage on November 3, 

1942.

Measurements of water level made during 1942 in 10 wells,- distributed 

over the valley, indicate a mean decline of 4.2 feet. The range of change 

varied from a rise of 3.54 feet to a decline of 15,39 feet.

Tla Juana River Basin v

The water levels in all 5 observation wells in this basin declined 

during the year. The net decline from November 1941 to November 1942 

ranged from 1.85 feet, in well 0120, to 0.77 foot. In well 0140b, and 

averaged 1.24 feet in the 5 wells.

Otav River Basin

The water levels in both wells declined during the year. The net 

decline from November 1941 to November 1942" averaged 1.68 feet. 

Sweetirater River Basin

In'well Oldc, which is 21 feet deep, the water level in November 1941 

was 12.70 feet below the measuring point; that is, there was 8.5 feet of 

water in the well. In November 1942 this well was dry.
CAUPOBKIA 63

San Diego River Baain

In this basin water levels declined from October 1941 to November 

1942. In veil L28 in El Monte Park the decline was 9.54 feet. In 6 wells 

above San Vlcente Creek the net average decline was 2.45 feet, in 8 wells 

below San Vicente Creek it wa 1.89 feet, and in 6 wells in Mission Valley 

it was 1.38 feet.

San Dieguito River Basin

The water levels in 4 observation wells in San Pasqual Valley showed 

a net average decline of 2.04 feet from November 1941 to November 1942, the 

decline in the individual wells ranging from 1.58 feet, in well H34b, to 

2.41 feet, in well G17a.

San Luis Rey River Basin

In the Bonsall Basin 8 wells showed a net average decline of 0.56 foot 

from December 1941 to December 1942, and 8 wells In the Mission Basin showed 

a net average decline of 6.46 feet. The declines in the individual wells 

ranged from 14.16 feet, in well F32, to 2.97 feet, in well P30. Two wells 

in this area had incomplete records.

Mojave River Basin

Observations of water levels in the Mojave River Basin were continued 

In 80 wells, most of which were measured in both the spring and fall of 

1942. The annual discharge of the Mojave River during this year was Isss 

than normal, and at no time was there continuous flow from the Forks to 

Barstow.

Water levels in -wells in the area near the Porks declined on an average of 0.6 foot, whereas in wells near the river channel in the stretch 

from Hesperia Crossing to Viotorville they showed an average drop of 2.6 

feet. The greatest decline registered in this area was 5.2 feet, in well 

TJ0.3, which is located on the east bank of the river at Eesperia Crossing. 

The water levels in wells on the mesa east of the river showed .declines 

averaging about 1.5 feet.

Wella in the valley between Viotorville and Hodge showed very little 

change in water level from the previous year: the average net change was 

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

Baratow-Mojave highway, there was an average drop in the water table of 

2.3 feet. The decline was greatest in well 56A, which is near the river 

channel, and became less toward the above-mentioned highway about in
64 WATER LEVBLS AHD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

proportion to the distance of each well from the river. In wells in the 

area north of the highway no definite trend in water level during the year 

was noted.

Water levels in the Lenwood-Barstow area did not change noticeably. 

Wells in the area between Barstow and Daggett showed a general decline In 

water level. She decline amounted to 1.7 feet in Barstow ana increased 

toward Daggett, where, in well LI, the decline was 6 feet. The water level 

in this well is following the same pattern it followed during the year 

1938-39.

Water levels in the sub-basin between Daggett and the Eouns-Hewberry 

sand dune belt declined generally, the declines averaging 3.1 feet. The 

wells that were measured east of the sand-dune belt in the Hewberry-Troy 

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

Antelope Valley

Observations of water level in 1942 in this valley were made before 

and after the irrigation season. They indicated a continued downward 

trend in the levels. Declines varied in amount throughout the valley, 

being greatest in areas of most intensive pumping. The stages in December 

1942 ranged from 1 to 8 feet lower than in December 1941 and averaged about 

4 feet lower.

WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Measurements were discontinued in 1941 in wells ELa and Elb in San 

Diegulto River Basin and L10, L83, and M40 in Mojave River Baain. These 

five wells have been omitted ,therefore, from the list that follows. The 

first three wells in the list are key wells.

LOS AHGELBS AMD OBAHSB COUNTIES (LOHG BEACH-SANTA AHA AREA) 

By J. F. Poland and A. A. Qarrett 

PROGRAM OF KOBE

Since 1940 the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior, 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 most of the coastal plain In Los Angeles and Orange Counties. 

The investigation is concerned especially with the contamination of the 

ground-water bodies by salt water along the coast and the watertlghtness of 

the Newport-Inglewood structural zone.

Before the intensive cooperative Investigation was begun, measurements 

had been made In the Long Beach-Santa Ana area* for periods varying In 

length, chiefly by the San Gabriel Valley Protective Association, the Orange 

County Flood Control District, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, 

the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the city of Long Beach, and 

other local agencies and by R. A. Shafer, acting for the Bixby-Bryant 

Interests. A more nearly complete list of the agencies and the periods of

their activity, or, If still continuing, the beginning dates of those

2/ periods, have been published In an earlier report. y^0 measurements were

made at monthly or more frequent Intervals in about 680 wells, of which 

about 220 were In the coastal zone of the area. The limits of the Long 

Beach-Santa Ana area and of the coastal zone as covered in this report are 

shown in figure 7.

During the year work was completed on an index to factual data on some 

4,000 water wells In the area. The Index Is made up of three lists of the 

wells, arranged according to different numbering systems. The three

according to the nature of the data available. The Index, which was prepared In cooperation with the Orange County Flood Control District, Orange 

County Water District', Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and , 

Board of Water Commissioners of the city of Long Beach, was released In June 

1942 to the Washington office and certain field offices of the Federal 

Geological Survey and to the cooperating agencies.

SCOPE OF RBCOSDS

Late In 1940 and early In 1941 the Geological Survey began quarterly 

measurements of water level In 134 water wells In the coaetal zone to 

supplement the water-level data available from other agencies. These wells 

were selected primarily to obtain records In areas not Intensively covered 

by other agencies, to afford the closest feasible determination of head In 

the several water-bearing zones along and near the Newport-Inglewood 

structural zone. They Include closely spaced wells of different depths 

paired to Indicate the differential head between the several zones. So far 

as possible wells for which depths and perforated Intervals were known were 

selected.

Xn addition, water levels have been measured periodically In 68 shallow 

observation wells constructed by the Geological Survey on low lands In and 

near five gaps through the coastal hills and mesas of the Hewport-Inglewood 

zone. In the several gaps are deposits of Recent age, which, In two of the 

gaps, attain a maximum thickness of about 150 feet. The shallow wells were 

constructed to afford observation points on certain bodies of shallow ground 

water that occur Inlhe upper 20 to 50 feet of these Recent deposits. The 

following table lists the 62 wells.

On other observation wells' that were paired to indicate the differential head across the Newport-Inglewood structural zone, water-level 

recorders have been installed and operated by the Geological Survey. Along 

the coast between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach three pairs of deep 

observation wells were constructed on the coastal side of the above-mentioned 

structural zone as part of the cooperative program wella. 5/12-13D1 and 

13D2, near Seal Beach; wells 5/11-18N1 and 18P1, in Sunset gap; and wells 

5/11-29E1 and 29E2, on Bolga Chica mesa. On these wells, also, water-level 

recorders have been operated.

Water-level recorders have been operated by the Geological Survey on 

a total of 26 wells for periods ranging from a month to more than 2 years. 

The following table lists these wells by number and gives for each its 

depth, the position of the water-yielding zone it taps,"and the period

In all, during the period extending from late 1940 through 1942, the 

Geological Survey has measured the depth to water quarterly in 196 wells 

134 water wells and 62 shallow observation wells and has operated waterlevel recorders on 25 others. More than 2,920 individual measurements of 

depth to water have been made.

All periodic measurements of depth to water made by the Geological 

Survey in the Long Beach-Santa Ana area during the period 1940-42 are 

included in this report. Records not included are those for a considerable 

number of wells for which less than three measurements have been obtained 

and certain series of measurements made in some wells within very short 

periods for the purpose of special study. Records that fall in these two 

classes are not considered as representative of periodic measurements. For 

wells on which recorders have been operated by the Geological Survey, depth 

to water is given at 5-day intervals for the periods of recorder operation. 

These depths have been taken from the recorder charts.

The 6 wells constructed for the Geological Survey on the coastal side 

of the Newport-Inglewood structural zone and 28 others, which, by reason of 

their location and depth, may be regarded as representative, have bden 

selected to show the typical fluctuations pf water level in the Long BeachSanta Ana area. !The 6 wells constructed for the Geological Survey have been

and 5/12-12P3, figures in parentheses indicate reported depths; for the

and 5/12-13D1 and 13D2 figures in parentheses indicate depth to which well 

was drilled before backfilling and setting casing.

designated "permanent"observation wells in this report; the 28 others, for 

most of which there are available periodic records of water levels spanning 

more than 10 years, have been designated "continuing" observation wells. 

It is planned to continue the records for both permanent and continuing 

observation wells in succeeding annual water-level reports. Of these 34 

wells, 6 have been measured by the Geological Survey only, 9 by the 

Geological Survey and other agencies, and 19. by other agencies only.

For 12 of the continuing observation wells, records have been published

5/ 

previously; for the 16 others the available records are included among

those on pages 89-175. Most of these records span a 10- to 12-year period, 

and measurements are available for most of the wells included at about 

weekly intervals.

GROUND-WATER WITHDRAWALS AND WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS 

Development of ground-water supplies in the Long Beach-Santa Ana area

commenced about 1860. In 1904. W. C. Mendenhall estimated the withdrawal

§/

of ground water within this area to be about 150,000 acre-feet. During

the three decades following the canvass by Mendenhall, many irrigation 

wells of large diameter were constructed and, with the development and widespread use of deep-well turbine pumps, the withdrawal of ground water 

increased more than twofold. By the early 1950's, the annual consumption of 

ground water had reached about 330,000 acre-feet, and since then, except in 193f 

when there was an increased draft to compensate for low seasonal precipitation, it has remained nearly constant.

Initially there were flowing wells over about 290 square miles, or 37 

percent, of the coastal plain. By 1904, the area of flowing wells had 

decreased -to an estimated 190 square miles, and by 1928, as a result of the 

increased draft, nearly all wells on the coastal plain had ceased to flow. 

Continued heavy draft of ground water, together with subnormal rainfall in 

6 of the 8 years following 1928, resulted in 1936 in the lowest water level 

on record. (See hydrograph for well 4/10-2212 in fig. e.) During the 

autumn low-water period of 1936, water levels in veils were below sea level

over about 320 square miles, or 40 percent, of the coastal plain. In 4 of

the 6 years following 1936, rainfall was above normal and water levels 

rose considerably, so that during the period 1940-41 flow by artesian 

pressure was rejuvenated In an area of about 16 square miles lying 

immediately northeast of the Newport-Inglewood structural zone and extending 

from Long Beach to Huntlngton Beach. Caring the early part of 1948, this 

area of flowing wells diminished slightly.

The hydrograph for well 4/12-8P1 (see fig. 8) illustrates conditions 

in an area a few miles northeast of Long Beach. Here withdrawals for 

municipal and other uses have been maintained at a sufficiently high rate 

since 1936 to depress water levels, contrary to the general trend, which 

is toward recovery.

Summary of water-level fluctuations

The following table summarizes the observed range of water levels in 

a group of 54 selected wells, composed of the 6 permanent and 28 continuing 

Observation wells and 20 additional wells selected to give most effective 

geographic distribution in the most critical portions of the coastal zone. 

(For the location of these wells, see fig. 7.) All except two of the 

wells are believed to tap confined water -bodies; the exceptions are well 

2/12-13A1, near Whittier Narrows, and well 4/9-7B1, near the mouth of Santa 

Ana River Canyon, which are water-table wells. Among the wells in this 

table are 39 whose water-level records extend continuously from 1933 or 

earlier years to the end of 1942; for 27 of these the lowest measured water 

level occurred in the period 1934-36, and for 10 the highest measured water 

level occurred in 1941 or 1942.

The data in the table have been compiled from measurements made by the 

following agencies and persons: Geological Survey, California Division of 

Water Resources, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Los Angeles 

Department of Water and Power, Orange County Flood Control District, San 

Gabriel Valley Protective Association, city of Long Beach, city of Newport

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

The wells whose water levels in 1942 are given in the following tables 

are listed by numbers assigned to them by the Federal Geological Survey. 

The numbering system used by the Survey for wells in the Long Beach-Santa 

Ana area is the same as that used for wells in Santa Barbara County and is 

explained in the paper on that county. (See p.189). Most of the observation wells in the Long Beach-Santa Ana area are described for the first 

time in this report.

In accordance with the uniform system of reference recently adopted 

by the Geological Survey for records published in the annual water-level 

reports, water levels in each well are expressed as depth to water in feet 

below a land-surface datum, which for each well is a plane of precise 

reference that approximates the level of the land surface as of 1942. For 

many wells in this area the position of the land surface is not stable; 

however, if the land-surface datum is established by reference to the 

position of the measuring point and, where possible, is also connected with 

a suitable reference bench mark, the record can be continued from year to 

year in terms of a precise level that is independent of change in either 

the measuring point or the actual land surface.

In previous reports on the Long Beach-Santa Ana area, measured depths 

of wells have been expressed in feet below top of casing or other measuring 

point, but in the present report they are expressed in feet with reference 

to the land-surface datum. This is done for the sake of conformity, as both 

depths to water and depths of perforated intervals are expressed in feet 

below land surface.

For an adequate analysis of hydrologies conditions in the critical area 

proximate to the Newport-Inglewood structural zone, it-was necessary to 

know the altitudes of measuring points at observation wells established or 

constructed by the Geological Survey. Because this structural zone is 

known to be seismioally active, it was suspected that altitudes determined 

in the early 1930's might not be dependable, owing to earth movements during 

or subsequent to the Long Beach earthquake of 1933. Accordingly, a trial 

third-order level line was run in Santa Ana gap and on Huntington Beach mesa 

late in 1941, and it was found that differential earth movement of the order
88 WATER LEVELS AND AfffBBIAU PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

of a foot had occurred In part of that area since 1932. Subsequently, 

altitudes of measuring points for all observation wells within at least a 

mile of the Hewport-Inglewood structural zone were tied to a common level 

net.

To accomplish this tie, about 80 miles of third-order levels were run 

from and through previously established bench marks to the 68 observation 

wells constructed by the Geological Survey In the coastal zone. By means 

of a first-order level net developed by the city of Long Beach In 1941 It 

was possible to anchor this third-order level net to bench mark "tidal 8" 

which Is on the first-order net, In Los Angeles Outer Harbor, and from 

current work by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey It was known 

that bench mark "tidal 8" had remained stable with respect to mean sea 

level. Also, It was found that recent earth movement had been negligible 

at three previously established bench marks one In the Dominguez gap and 

two In the Santa Ana gap. The third-order levels run by the Geological 

Survey were adjusted accordingly, to establish a local so-called "sea-level 

datum of 1941." Subsequently, by running about 70 additional miles of 

levels with transit and stadia or with alidade and level rod,the altitudes 

of outlying wells were adjusted to this local datum. Altogether, the 

altitudes of about 170 of the 225 observation wells constructed or 

established by the Geological Survey In the coastal zone, and also of 

certain of the previously established observation wells of other agencies 

have been adjusted to the sea-level datum of 1941.

For those wells not tied to the level net adjusted to the datum of 

1941, altitudes determined by other agencies. If available,have been given, 

and the responsible agency has been cited. For the few remaining wells 

not tied to any level net, altitude of land-surf ace has been Interpolated 

to the nearest foot from topographic naps of the Geological Survey.

point, top of base plate on southeast side of well, 0.08 foot above casing, 

1.00 foot above land-surface datum and 20.22 feet above mean sea level 

(altitude by Orange County Flood Control District). In Water-Supply Paper 

941, water-level measurements after Dec. 21, 1932, were incorrectly 

referred to top of casing instead of top of base plate; thus the published 

figures for 1933-41, in feet with reference to sea level, are 0.08 foot too

170 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE-, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

SAN JOAQUIH COUNTY (MOKELDMKB AREA)

By J. W. Robinson

PROGRAM OP WORK

During 1942 the East Bay Municipal Utility District continued its 

program of measuring the water level in observation wells in the Mokelumne 

area, which is in the central part of the so-called Great Valley. Many of 

the wells have been measured by other agencies also. Of these observation 

wells, 24 were selected in 1935 by the Federal Geological Survey as typical, 

and their records were used as the basis of an approximate index to changes 

in ground-water storage in the area. In 1942 the water level in each of 

the 24 wells was measured monthly, and, all together, 274 measurements were 

made. Ho water-level recorders or float gages were operated.

The first of the following tables correlates the average yearly 

fluctuations in water level since 1933 in the 24 selected wells with the 

yearly fluctuations in rainfall. Excessive rainfall and rising water 

levels began in 1940 and continued to the end of 1942.

The second table shows the water-lev*! changes in 1942 by periods of 

increasing and diminishing withdrawal for irrigation.

The preceding tables indicate that replenishment in 1942 was greatest 

during the first half of the year, as in 1940 and 1941. During 1942, 

rainfall- waa especially heavy during April and May, ordinarily a period of 

increasing withdrawal for irrigation. Prom July through October rainfall 

was deficient, and the average water level declined rapidly from Its midyear peak. At the end of December, however, notwithstanding this decline, 

the water levels in the 24 wella averaged 0.72 foot higher than at ths 

end of 1941.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The numbers assigned tc the observation wells of the Mokelumne area 

indicate their location according to a projection of the rectangular 

system of public-land surveys.!/ in the number 3717A1, for example, the 

first digit indicates the township (T.3H.), the second digit indicates the 

range (R. 7 E.), the next two digits indicate the ssction (sec. 17), and 

the letter indicates the 40-acre subdivision of the section. Within each 

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

digit or digits of the number. Thus, well 3717A1 Is in the HW|HW| sec. 17, 

T, 3 N., R. 7 E., and was the first well in that tract to be listed.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

By G. A. La Rocque, Jr., G. P. Worts, Jr., and J. E. Upson 

PROGRAM OF WORE

The Inventory of the ground-water resources of Santa Barbara County, 

which began In January 1941, was continued In 1942 by the Geological Survey, 

United States Department of the Interior, In cooperation with the county. 

In connection with this Inventory, periodic measurements of water level 

were made during the year In 195 wells, located In six ground-water areas. 

Measurements were discontinued In 15 wells and begun In 48 additional wells, 

and water-level recorders or "high-low" float gages were maintained on 

21 wells. The measurements were made for the Geelogical Survey by G. A. 

La Rocque, Jr., J. E. Upson, G. P. Worts, Jr., L. Porter, Jr., and W. T. 

Jamlson. In four of the areas measurements were made also by five local 

agencies, as follows: In the Santa Maria Valley, by the Santa Maria Valley 

Water Conservation District, the city of Santa Maria, and the San Jaoquln 

Power Division of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co; In the Middle and Lower 

Santa Ynez Valleys, by the city of Santa Barbara; and In the Carplnterla 

Basin, by the Carplnteria County Water District. These local agencies 

have made their measurements available to the Geological Survey. The 

following table Indicates the scope of the well-measurement program:

CALIFORNIA, SAHTA MRBARA COUNTY - 177

SUMMARY OF, HYDROLOGIC FEATURES

As it has progressed, the ground-water inventory has shown that the 

four principal lowland areas include seven distinct ground-water areas. 

In order from south to north thea-e are Carpinteria Basin, Goleta Basin, 

Middle Santa Ynez Valley, Lower Santa Ynez Valley, San Antonio Valley, 

Santa Maria Valley, and Guyana Valley. (See figs.9 to 15). In general, 

the ground-water bodies of these several areas are derived largely from 

seepage of streams but partly, also, from water from outlying water-bearing 

materials, which they receive by underground percolation.

In the Carpinteria and Goleta Basins of the south-coastal lowland, the 

ground-water bodies receive their supply in part by the seepage of water 

from the small streams that head in the Santa Ynoz Range, in part, evidently 

by percolation from saturated bodies of unconsolidated and partly consolidated 

deposits adjacent to the basins, and probably, in smaller part, by the 

infiltration of rain. These basins are so narrow and their storm runoff is 

so flashy that most of each year's rainfall passes swiftly to the sea.

The basin of the Santa Ynez River comprises two ground-water areas, 

namely, Middle Santa Ynez Valley and Lower Santa Ynez Valley,separated by 

the Santa Rita Hills and the Santa Rita Valley, which lie north of the river 

and parallel to it.

The Middle Santa Ynez Valley includes a narrow alluvial tongue, 

extending along the river, and a broad terraced upland, extending east of 

Alamo Pintado Creek beyond Santa Ynez and Los Olivos. The alluvial tongue 

is replenished chiefly by seepage from the river. The terraced upland about 

Santa Ynez is underlain by a thick body of semiconsolidated alluvium, which 

has become an extensive ground-water reservoir. This reservoir receives its 

supply in large part by the infiltration of rain but probably in part, also, 

by the seepage of water from intermittent streams that head in the San 

Rafael Mountains, to the northeast. It is separated from the Santa Ynez 

River by a barrier of impermeable rock and therefore receives no water from 

it. Instead, it discharges into the river through perennial spring-fed 

streams.

The Lower Santa Ynee Valley includes the Lompoc Plain and adjacent 

hilly and terraced areas. In this valley the principal water-bearing zones
178 WATER LBVBLS AND ARTESIAN PHBSSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES
Figure 10. Map of the Goleta Basin plain, Calif., showing net ch

December 1941 to Decembe
180 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

underlie the Lompoc Plain and the corresponding terraces along the river 

upstream. These zones are replenished largely from the Santa Ynez River 

and from tributary streams that enter the plain from ths south, but some 

replenishment probably takes place by underground percolation from 

unconsolidated and semiconsolidated deposits that underlie the terraced 

and hilly terrain to the northeast.

Similarly, in the Santa Maria Valley replenishment of the ground-water 

bodies, for the greater part, takes place by the seepage of water from the 

Santa Maria River, which is formed by the confluence of the Cuyama and 

Sisquoc Rivers. Sdme replenishment, howsver, apparently takes place by the 

lateral percolation of ground water from the extensive hilly and upland 

area south and southeast of Santa Maria. Much of this water is derived 

initially from rain, which becomes ground water by infiltration.

In the Cuyama Valley the chief sources of replenishment are the Cuyama 

River and the smallsr streams that enter the valley from the south.

In Santa Barbara County most of the rain falls in winter and spring, 

and little or none in summer and fall. During the year ending September 30, 

1942, ths rainfall was about average, but substantially less than during 

the year ending September 30, 1941. This Is brought out by the first of 

the two following tables, which gives the rainfall, by months, during each 

of those years at the Weather Bureau stations at Santa Maria and Santa 

Barbara, whose climatologic records are among the longest for stations in 

Santa Barbara County. The second table gives the rainfall, by months, 

during the 13-month period December 1941 to December 1942, at 12 supplemental 

stations, which are maintained by the Federal Geological Survey. The rain 

gages at these supplemental stations are read at intervals ranging from 

15 to 30 days, some of this work being done by local observers. Though the 

rainfall indicated at a station for any particular month may be somewhat 

too large or t oo small, depending on the dates on which ths gage was read, 

the quantities shown are generally in relative agreement with the rainfall 

measured at the Weather Bureau stations at Santa Maria and Santa Barbara.

During the spring of 1942 the water level in most wells rose to high 

stages concurrently with the cessation of pumping for irrigation and with 

relatively high rainfall in April. Late in the year, because of the deficiency of autumn rainfall, the flow of streams was small, and local withdrawals of ground water for irrigation continued into December. The net 

result from January to December was a general decline from the high water 

levels of December 1941, which had followed the heavy rainfall of that 

year. Hydrographs for eight typical wells are given in figure 15. . They 

show water levels with reference to land-surface datum but not to sea-level 

datum. However, in all but two of the wells water levels remained appreciably 

above sea level in the years shown. The position of sea level is therefore 

marked only on the graphs for the two wells in which water levels fell below 

sea level. These are wells 4/28/17H11 and 4/25/27Q2. ,

Figures 9 to IS show in some detail the net changes of ground-water 

level, during the 13-month period December 1941 to December 1942, in the

several ground-water areas of the county.

Nearly everywhere in the Carplnterla and Goleta Basins there was a 

net decline of water level during the year. (See figs. 9 and 10.) Kils 

decline was greatest In the areas of largest withdrawal. In those areas 

the decline In places exceeded 10 feet and was the greatest In the comity. 

In two small areas In the Goleta Basin and in one small area in the 

Carplnterla Basin, however, there was a slight net rise in water level. 

These areas of net rise suggest delayed replenishment from outlying groundWater bodies following the very heavy rainfall in the winter of 1940-41.

In the Lower Santa Ynez Valley (see fig. 12) the water level declined 

everywhere, and th% decline was greatest In the areas of heaviest pumping. 

The water level declined In most of the Middle Santa Ynez Valley, also 

(see fig. 12)» and here too, the decline was greatest in the areas of 

largest withdrawal. It was least along the river, where to some degree 

the ground-water levels respond to fluctuations in river stage. In areas 

of little pumping and in areas of lagging replenishment from outlying 

ground-water bodies the water level rose.

In the Santa Maria Valley (see fig. 13) the net decline in water level 

was greatest on the northern edge of the valley, along the Santa Maria 

River. In the southern part of the valley the water level rose, owing in 

part to comparatively sm^ll withdrawals and In part, possibly,to replenishment by continued underground percolation from deposits that crop out in 

the hills to the south. Water thus percolating Is derived primarily from 

rain, which becomes ground water by infiltration.

For the Cuyama Valley the net change (see fig. 14)Is shown only at 

Individual wells. At all but one of the wells, the net change was a decline, 

and this decline was greatest near the upper end of the main valley.

CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY 189

YffiLL-NUMBERIHG SYSTEM

The numbers assigned by the Federal Geological Survey to ita observation wells in Santa Barbara County show the location of the wells according 

to the rectangular system for subdivision of public land. For example, in 

the number 4/25-19F4, the part that precedes the hyphen indicates the township and range (T. 4 N., R. 25 W.). The one or two digits following the 

hyphen indicate the section (sec. 19), and the letter indicates the 40-acre 

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

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

final digit of the number. Thus, well 19F4 Is the fourth well to be listed 

in the SEiNWj sec. 19. As virtually all of Santa Barbara County is in the 

northwest quadrant of the San Bernardlno meridian and base line, the foregoing symbol for township and range can be used throughout the county. 

Some parts of the county have never been public land; for these the 

rectangular system of land subdivision has been extrapolated.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

For an explanation of the plan followed in listing the well records 

for California, see page 60. For Santa Barbara County, the records of 

only those wells in which more than four measurements have been made are 

Included in this report. Descriptions are given of all wells listed, 

including those described in ftater-Supply Paper 941.

HAWAII

By H. T. Stearns 

INTRODUCTION

The systematic investigation of the geology and ground-water resources 

of the Territory of Hawaii was continued In 1948 by ths Geological Survey, 

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

of Hydrography of the Territory. The results of the investigation on the 

island of Maul, covering a period of 10 years, were published in a bulletin 

of the Hawaii Division of Hydrography^ whioh includes a geologic nap of 

Maui, on a scale of 1;62,500, showing all wells, tunnels, and test borings 

on that island. Further progress was made in the investigation on the 

island of Hawaii. In addition, numerous special investigations were made 

for the armed forces.

The total ground-water draft during 1942 for the Territory of Hawaii 

was 184,463 million gallons (about 565,750 acre-feet, or an average of 505 

million gallons a day). This was 20,238 million gallons less than in 1941. 

Hawaii was the only one of the islands with an increase in pumpage during 

the year. More than half of the drop in the total pumpage is attributable 

to the decrease on Oahu, where heavy rains occurred.

Water levels in most wells in Oahu, Hawaii, Lanal, and leeward Maui 

showed a net rise in 1941; those in wells in Eauai, Molokai, and windward 

Haui showed a decline. Average rainfall for the Territory was 92.10 inches, 

which is 13.40 inches above the average for 1941 and 7.7 inches above 

normal. The drought that started in 1940 ended in 1942.

RECORDS OF ARTESIAN HEAD, WATER LEVEL, AND PUMPAGE

Most of the tables in this report set forth data on ground-water 

conditions in the Territory in 1942, 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. ____

\J Stearns, H. T., and Hacdonald. 0. A., Geology and ground-water 

resources of the island of Maui, Hawaii; Hawaii Dlv. of Hydrography Bull. 7, 

344 np., 1942. 239
240 WATER ISVBLS AND AHPESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

In the records of artesian head and water level, the numbers in parentheses immediately following the number or name of a recovery device 

whether well, shaft, or test boring or preceding a table indicate the 

water-supply papers in which earlier pertinent recordsare given and the 

pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that the paper so specified contains a description of the well, shaft, or test boring to which the 

table relates or that it contains more information than the papers not so 

specified.

The artesian head and water levels are expressed in feet with reference 

to mean sea level. In some wells, the artesian head, as given, is the 

measured water level in the well; 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 1942 the Geological Survey made 276 monthly measurements of 

artesian head and 571 chloride determinations on 175 wells on the island 

of Oahu. The Board of Water Supply, City and County of Honolulu, made 203 

measurements of artesian head on 103 wells, 100 of which were measured more 

than once. The Geological Survey maintained two automatic water-stage 

recorders throughout the year, and the Board of Water Supply maintained 

nine.

During 1941, 309 measurements of artesian head were made on 40 wells, 

292 chloride determinations were made on 59 wells, and two automatic waterstage recorders were maintained by the Geological Survey. The Honolulu 

Board of Water Supply, made 415 water-level measurements on 106 artesian 

wells, of which 103 were measured more than once, and maintained 13 automatic recorders.

The termination of the drought brought relief to the underground 

storage from the heavy pumpage during 1941. Total pumpage for the island 

amounted to 121,111 million gallons, or 13,098 million gallons leas than 

in 1941. Of the 12 artesian areas 5 showed gains in underground storage, 

but the artesian heads are not as high as they were during the period 1937- 

39 except in areas 8 and 9. The average rainfall on Oahu for the year 

amounted to 81.08 inches, 5.04 inches above normal and 35.78 inches above 

the average for 1941.
HAWAII, ISLAND OP OAHU 241

The development of ground water along the north shore of Pearl Harbor 

continued, but indications are that the peak has been passed.

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

Hawaii Division of Hydrography Bulletin 2.

ISLAND OP MAUI

The water levels in the wells owned by the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar 

Co. and the Maui Agricultural Co.,on the windward side of the island,showed 

a net decline during 1942 of 0.05 to 0.44 feet, except tor those in.pumps 3, 

4, and 7 of the Maui Agricultural Co., which rose slightly. Of the 6 wells 

of the Pioneer Mill Co.,on the leeward side of West Haul, the water level 

in three showed a net rise, in two a net decline, and in one no change. 

The United States Navy completed a new Maul-type well at the Puunene airport.

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

to 68,524.96 million gallons for the year, or 17,495 aillion gallons leas 

than in 1941. All pumps of the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. except one 

were started in January and shut down In December. One was started in May 

and shut Sown in November. The Maul Agricultural Co.'s pumping season 

started in January, and by the end of February all but two pumpa were 

running. These two were started in July. Two pumps were shut down in 

November and the others in December. The pumping season of the Pioneer 

Mill Co. began in January and closed in November and December.

ISLAHD OF MOLOKAI

The water level in test boring Tl was higher during the period June to 

December 1942 than at any time previously. This was partly due to a stretch 

of 0.67 foot in the cable used for measuring the well.

a These are the numbers of the wells as given In Bulletin 7 of the 

Hawaii Division of Hydrography and on the new geologic map of Maul, 

b No previous record.

The water level in the Connant well was lower in 1942 than at any time 

since meaaurementa were begun, in 1938, ranging from 0.75 foot to 1.67 feet. 

In the Kamalo well the water level showed a alight net decline from ita 

atage in 1941, ranging from 1.67 to 2.00 feet. The TTalapue well ahowed 

little change from the preceding year except in April and October, the

The water level In the Olaa shaft showed a slight net rise during 194S. 

It ranged from a high of 19,25 feet, on March 20, to a low of 13.79 feet, 

on December 31. The water level In the Kalwlkl shaft was higher during the 

last half of the year than at any time In 1941, ranging from 6.96 feet on 

June 1 to 5.92 feet on December 2. Owing to excavation work, no measurements were made during the first half of the year. The well Is being 

enlarged to supply water for washing sugar cane. The salt content did not 

change during the year.

A Maul-type well is being excavated at Faauilo by the Hamakua Mill Go. 

to obtain water for washing mechanically harvested sugar cane.

ISLAKD OP KAUAI

The artesian- head and the chloride content in Kauai wells In general 

showed a slight decline in 1942 except in well 14N, in which the head was 

higher throughout the year than in the preceding year, owing to the fact 

that the well was not pumped as continuously as during 1941.

Well 43 has been discontinued as an observation well because of a

leaky casing.

PUMPAOE

The following table gives the draft from all large ground-water pumping plants in the Territory of Hawaii. The draft from Individual wells on 

Oahu, which is not included, is estimated to be about 25 million gallons a 

day. The total pvmpage during 1942 was 184,462.67 million gallons. This 

was 20,238.21 million gallons less than in 1941.

The numbers in parentheses in the records for Maui and Oahu are those 

used by the Federal Geological SurTey for the wells or other recoTery 

devices.

PROGRESS OF WORK

Work on the Investigation of ground-water resources in Hew Mexico was 

continued In 1948 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior, in cooperation with the State engineer. The program of waterlevel measurements was carried on as In previous years except that, owing 

to the press of war work, the measurements were made at somewhat irregular 

intervals. In all,2,148 measurements were made during the year.

FLUCTUATIONS IN WATER LEVEL

In the eastern part of the State the year 1942 was marked by a readjustment of water levels following the very heavy precipitation of 1941. 

In Portales Valley, Roosevelt County, and In the House area, Quay County, 

water levels declined somewhat In the areas In which they rose considerably 

the preceding year and rose somewhat In areas In which they rose but little 

in that year. In northern Lea County, where there are few pumps, rises in 

water level that began In 1941 continued in 1942. In the pumped areas the 

water levels declined. The shallow water table In the Roswell artesian 

basin declined In the heavily pumped areas but rose slightly In the margins 

of those areas. The artesian head of the water in the San .Aadres limestone 

In the Roswell artesian basin at the end of 1942 was at about the same 

level as at the end of the previous year. Water levels in the outcrop area 

of the San Andrea rose during the year.

In most of the heavily .pumped Darning area, In the southwestern part of 

the State, water levels declined during the year, Indicating withdrawals of 

water in excess of recharge. This is not Indicated, however, in a small 

part of this area, west of Doming, where wells had been deepened within the 

last * years, following the completion of a test well drilled by the State

engineer. The test well showed the presence of additional aquifers, below

255
256 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

thosa commonly tapped, carrying water under greater head than the shallower 

aquifers. It seems clear that In this part of the Deming area there has 

been a readjustment of head tending to equalize It In the two sets of 

aquifers, for the water level In the deeper wells has declined, while that 

In the neighboring, shallower wells has risen. 

WELL DESCRIPTIONS, RECORDS OF ARTESIAN HEAD, AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

lost observation wells In New Mexico are listed under the counties In 

which they are situated and numerically within each county. Artesian wells 

In the Roswell artesian basin and In the artesian-Intake area of that basin, 

however, are listed by name under the heading "Chaves and Eddy Counties." 

Complete descriptions are given only for newly added wells. The numbers 

In parentheses Immediately following a well number or name Indicate the 

water-supply papers In which earlier records of that well are given and 

the pages on which they appear. The artesian head, in the six wells for 

which It Is given, Is expressed In feet above mean sea level. Nearly all 

water levels reported for New Mexico are expressed In feet and referred to 

land-surface datum. This datum corresponds to the actual land surface as 

closely as that surface can be determined and Is referred to fixed points 

In the vicinity In order to fix Its position definitely. The surface 

features of pumping and other wells In New Mexico are frequently changed, 

and It Is Impossible to maintain fixed and assumed points from which th« 

water levels can be measured. It Is therefore convenient to set an 

arbitrary datum Independent of any one point, to which the level of the 

water of the well can be referred. The land-surface datum makes It possible 

to give directly the depth to water, which is oae of the primary features 

of Interest about a well*

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The system of numbering wells In New Mexico used in this report, 

except for Hidalgo and Sierra Counties, Is based on the common land subdivisions and serves a dual purposes it both designates the well and 

locates it to the nearest 10-acre tract« The monbeF Is divided into four 

segments by periods* The first segment denotes the township, south or 

north of the New Mexico base line} the second denote* the range «ast OF
NEW MEXICO, WELL-HOMBEHim SYSTEM 257

« 

west of the New Mexico principal meridian; and the third Is the number of 

the section. In general, the direction north or south of the base line or 

east or west of the meridian Is not given, Inasmuch as no confusion can 

arise for any one county with the exception of Roosevelt County. An N is 

added after the first number In this county If the township Is north of 

the base line; If no letter Is given the township Is south of the base 

line. The fourth segment of the number gives the 10-acre tract In the 

section. The section Is divided Into four quarters numbered 1, 2, 3, and 

4, for the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast quarters respectively, numbered thus In the normal reading order. The first digit of the 

last segment gives the quarter. Similarly the quarter 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 In the same manner, and the third digit denotes the 10-acre 

tract. Thus, well 12.36.24.123 In Lea County Is located In SWjNEjNWi aec. 

24, T. 12 S., R. 36 B. 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 within a definite 40-acre tract, zeros are used for both the second and third 

digits. If It cannot'be located more closely than the section, the fourth 

segment Is omitted. In Water-Supply Paper 911 and previous water-supply 

papers, the digits corresponding to unknown smaller tracts were simply 

omitted, but some confusion In cataloging arose from this practice. Veils 

with numbers in Water-Supply Faper 941 and this paper whose last segment 

ends In one or two zeros correspond to wells whose numbers in Water-Supply 

Paper 911 and earlier papers are the same except for the omission of the 

last one or two zeros. Letters a, b, c, ..... are added to the last segment 

for the second, third, fourth and succeeding wslls In the same 10-acre 

tract.

BS AND EDDY COUNTIES (ROSWBLL ARTESIAN BASIN)

By P. Donald Akin

The program of Inventorying water levels and artesian head in the 

Roswell artesian basin was continued in 1942 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 Hoswell artesian basin was begun by 

A. 0, Fiedler and 3. S. Nye in 1925, and an intensive investigation of the 

shallow ground-water resources of the basin was begun by A. K. Moirgan in 

1937. The findings of these investigations have been published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 639 and in the 7th to 13th Biennial Reports of the State engineer of New Mexico. Data on artesian head have 

been published in Hater-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 911, and 941. 

Data on shallow-water levels have been published in Hater-Supply Papers 845, 

886, 911, and 941.

The precipitation in 1942 -at Roswell, as reported by the United States 

Weather Bureau, was 14.77 inches, which is nearly equal to the normal 

precipitation of 14.94 inches. The precipitation in May and June was more 

than 1 inch below normal for each month, and the precipitation in April, 

August, and*December was more than 1 inch above normal for each month.

All the data necessary for a thorough-going estimate of the amount 

of ground water used in the Roswell artesian basin in 1942 are not yet
KEff MEXICO, CHAVES AND EDDY COUNTIES; ARTESIAH WELLS 259

available. Preliminary data Indicate that an additional 1,000 acres of 

land were brought under irrigation with shallow ground water in 1942. The 

acreage irrigated with artesian water in 1948 remained nearly few same as 

in previous years. The total area Irrigated was about 105,500 acres, of 

which 57,100 acres was irrigated with artesian water, 32,300 acres with 

shallow ground water, and 16,100 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.

Although as the precipitation was about normal in 1942, the average 

depth of shallow ground water used was less than the 2.8 feet used in 

1939 and 1940, or about 2.2 feet. The average use of flowing artesian 

water appears to have been about the same as the amount of shallow water 

used per acre, despite the fact that pressure was much higher. The Orchard 

Park and Artesia observation wells sh6wed unusually large draw-downs during 

the summer. If it is tentatively assumed that 2.2 acre-feet of water per 

acre was used on lands irrigated with shallow water and the same amount 

used on lands irrigated with artesian water, .about 71,000 acre-feet of 

shallow water and about 125,600 acre-feet of artesian water were used In 

the baain.

ARTESIAN HJSLLS

Six continuous water-stage recorders were operated in 1942 over artesian observation wells distributed throughout the basin* 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 daily minimum 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 the 

mean monthly minimum heads. The mean annual head is the average mean 

monthly head Tor the year.

Fluctuations in artesian head 

The water-level fluctuations in the artesian recorder wells followed

the same general pattern in 1942 aa in the years prior to 1941. The water 

levels were high in January and February, before general irrigation began. 

As soon as irrigation began the water levels started to decline and they 

continued to decline generally until August. At the end of the heavy irrigation season in August, the water levels began to rise and rose more or 

less steadily throughout the remainder of the year.

In the Berrendo and Berrendo-Smith wells, at the north end of the 

irrigated area, the water levels recovered after the irrigation' season to 

about the January stages, and in the Artesia well, the southernmost of these 

observation wells, the mean monthly water level was 0*7 foot higher in 

December than in the previous January. The seasonal draw-down of the water 

levels in the Berrendo and Berrendo-Smith wells during the summer was about 

the same as in previous years, but in the Artesia well it was much greater, 

probably indicating an abnormal summer draft for irrigation in that part of 

the area in 1942.

In the other wells the recovery of the water level was not complete. 

In the Mountain View well the mean monthly water level was about 0.5 foot 

lower in December than it was in the previous January. The seasonal drawdown in 1942 was about the same as in 1940. In the Orchard Park well the
268 WATBR LOTBLS AND ARTESIAN PRBSSUBB, 1942, SODTHTOSTBRH STAOBS

mean monthly water level in December was 4.7 feet lower than in the previous January. The summer draw-down was somewhat greater in 1942 than it 

had been in previous years. In the Greenfield well the mean monthly water 

level in December was 5.5 feet lower than in the previous January. 

WELLS IN THE ARTESIAN-INTAKE AREA

Monthly water-level measurements were begun in 1940 in six wells near 

the eastern edge of the principal intake area for the Roswell artesian basin 

and measurements were continued in these wells through 1941. In 1942, water 

levels were measured monthly in five of the wells. Measurements in the 

Fite community well were abandoned in 1942 and in its stead the McAuliffe 

well, in the same general area, was measured monthly from May to the end 

of the year.

Bae water levels in all the wells in which measurements were made 

continuously throughout 1942, except the J. Herbat well, were higher in 

December than in January. In the J. Herbst well, the water level seems 

to be affected to some extent by stream flow in the Hondo River, which is 

near the well, and in consequence was 0.96 foot lower in December than in 

January. The water levels in all ths wells were S tc IS feet higher in 

December 1942 than in January 1941.

SHALLOW WELLS

In order to observe the yearly water-level changes In the shallow wells 

In the Roswell artesian basin, 430 wells were measured in January and 

February of 1942. Of these, 6 were equipped with automatic water-stage 

recorders and 34 were measured at monthly or bimonthly intervals throughout 

the year In order to note the seasonal fluctuations in water level. Of the 

430 wells measured, 303 are in Chaves County and 127 are in Eddy County. 

A total of 676 measurements was made during the year. Measurements were 

discontinued in 29 wells. Prior to September the measurements reported 

herein were made by Omar J. Loeltz, and the succeding measurements were 

made by the writer.

Fluctuations in water level

The winter water-level measurements were used to draw maps showing 

the change in water level from January 1942 to January 1943. Figure 16 

Is a map showing the change In water level from January 1942 to January 

1943 for the part of the Roswell artesian basin that Is in Chaves County, 

and figure 17 is a similar map for the part of the basin that is in Eddy 

County. These maps show a general lowering of the water level during 1942 

along the central part of the farming district from the vicinity of Roswell 

to about midway between Artesia and Dayton. The lowering ranged from a few 

hundredths of a foot to 7 feet, the larger declines being more or less 

localized in areas of heavy pumping near Roswell, in the vicinity of Orchard 

Park, west and northwest of Hagerman, south and west of Lake Arthur, and 

southwest of Artesia. Other declines occurred in smaller areas northeast

of Roswell, south of Roswell, northeast of Dayton, and near Lakewood. 

Rises of the water level occurred generally along the western edge of the 

farming areas from the north end of the ground-water irrigation district 

to the Chaves-Eddy county line, and in a large area around Dayton. A few 

more or less localized rises occurred along the eastern edge of the farming 

areas from the north end of the district to the latitude of Orchard Park 

and in a small area east of Dexter. The rises were generally less than 1 

foot, although in a few of the wells they were as much as 3 to 4 feet.

The general decline of the water level may be attributed largely to 

the effects of pumping. Some of it,however, and possibly also the rises 

in some of the areas, may be the result of a gradual adjustment of the 

water table over the basin after the spectacular rise in 1941 which resulted from the unusually heavy rains In the basin.

HIDALGO COUHTY (VIHDEN VALLEY)

Measurements disBy H. M. Babcock and R. L. Cushman

Virden Valley is the eastern part of the area commonly known as the 

Duncan-Virden Valley, which lies along the upper Gila River in Oreenlee 

County, Aria., and Hidalgo County, N. Mex. A detailed investigation of the 

ground-water resources of the Duncan-Virden Valley was conducted during the 

period October 1, 1939, to May 31, 1941, by the Geological Survey, United 

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

Engineer Office, War Department, and a preliminary report on it was released by the Geological Survey. The work Included the periodic measurement of water levels in observation wells, which was continued for the

remainder of the year 1941 and all through 1942.

During 1942 the water levels in most of the observation wells were 

measured twice, arid the amount of water pumped was computed. Hydrographs 

of two of the observation wells > monthly precipitation, and pumpage are 

shown in figure 3, in the Arizona section of this volume. Sixteen 

water-level measurements were made in Hidalgo County.

The water levels reported for Hidalgo County are expressed in feet 

below a fixed measuring point.

LEA GOUHTY. 

By C. R. Murray and P. D. Akin

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Lea County was 

continued during 1942 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with 

the State engineer of New Mexico. Progress reports on this Investigation, 

which describe the geologic and hydrologic features of the occurrence of 

ground water in Lea County, have been published In the 9th to 13th Biennial 

Reports of the State engineer of Hew Mexico, Water levels and other

hydrologic data on Lea County have been published in Geological Survey 

a Dry, STVs f«et below measuring point, 

b Dry, 52.3 feet below measuring point, 

c Dry, 14,2 feet below measuring point.
HEW HBHOO, LBA COUHfY 295

Water-Supply Papers 817, 911,and 941. These reports should be consulted 

for detailed descriptions of the wells whose water levels are given in the 

following tables.

Water levels were measured in 28 wells in February, March, July, September, October, and November 1942 and in 56 others in February only. 

Automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 3 wells in the county 

in 1942.

Precipitation, pumpage. and fluctuations in water level

After the extremely wet year of 1941, the precipitation returned to 

about normal in 1942. As reported by the United States Weather Bureau, 

the precipitation was 17.63 inches at Lovington, which was 2.46 inches 

above normal, in contrast to 34.81 inches in 1941} at Hobbs it was 12.75 

inches, 2.26 inches below normal, in contrast to 32.19 inches in 1941; and 

at fatum, it was 17.68 inches in 1942, in contrast to 36.49 inches in 1941.

The return of the precipitation to about normal necessitated the use 

of considerable ground water for growing crops. It is estimated that about 

3,500 acre-feet of water was used on approximately 3,000 acres of cropland 

in Lea County in 1942, whereas only about 1,550 acre-feet was used on about 

2,600 acres in 1941. It has been previously estimated that about 3,200 

acre-feet of ground watsr was used on approximately 2,950 acres in 1940. 

The use of ground water for industrial purposes appears to have been about 

the same in 1942 as in previous years. The total amount of ground water 

pumped in Lea County during 1942 for agricultural, stock, and industrial 

use is estimated, on the basis of preliminary data, to have been about 9,550 

acre-feet.

The maximum observed rise in water level in any well in Lea County in 

January 1943, with respect to its position in February 1942, was 2,88 feet, 

and the largest decline was 2.11 feet; however, all measured water levels 

were 1 foot to nearly 11 feet higher than they had been at the beginning of 

1941. North and northeast of Lovington, water levels rose in nearly all 

the wells and in certain wells attained stages more than 6 feet above their 

stages in January 1941. Water levels in observation wells near Tatum were 

higher in early 1943 with respect to their stages in January 1941 than in 

any other area in Lea County. In the area immediately surrounding Lovington, 

water levels in early 1943 were from a few hundredths to a few tenths of a
296 WATER LWBLS AMD AHCISIAH PBBSSUKB, 1948, SOUmWBSTBHN STA33SS

foot lower than In early 1942 but were in general slightly acre th»a 1 foot 

higher than in early 1941, In the area west of the highway between Lovington 

and Hobbs water levels rose slightly during 1942, and in the area east of 

the highway they maintained about the same level. In the area immediately 

north of Hobbs, water levels were a few tenths of a foot higher in early 

1945 than in early 1942, but in the southern part of Hobbs they were a few 

tenths of a foot lower than in the previous year. West of Hobbs, along the 

escarpment of the High Plains, water levels were slightly higher than in 

early 1942, but in the vicinity of Pearl, below and south of the escarpment, 

they were, in general, from a few hundredths to more than 2 feet lower. Water 

levels in a few wells in this area, however, for example, wells 20.55*1.222 

and 20.57.9.110, were nearly 5 feet higher in early 1943 than in early 1942 

and from 6 to nearly 11 feet higher than in early 1941.

It is believed that the continued rise in water levels in Lea County 

is the result of recharge from the abnormal precipitation of 1941. Exceptionally large rises in water level in individual wells are probably caused toy 

changes in the pumping regimen near the wells. The fall in water levels 

near Lovington is believed to be the result of a heavier draft by Irrigation 

pumps on the ground-water supply here than-elsewhere in the county. West 

and south of the High Plains escarpment the lower water levels are probably 

the result of the natural discharge of temporarily stored ground water toward 

the Pecos River.

LUNA COUHTY (MIMBRB3 VALLEY) 

By C. R. Murray

The investigation of the ground-water resources of the Mlmbrea Valley 

was continued in 1942 by the Federal Geological Surrey 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 of Hew Mexico and in Geological Survey 

Water-Supply Paper 637. These reports describe the geologic and hydrologic
Figure 18. Change in water level in Mlmbpes Valley, N. Hex., fr
804 WATBR IS7BLS AHD AKDBSIAH PKBSSUHB, 1942, SOUTHwBSTEHH STATB3

features of the occurrence of ground water in the Mimbres Valley. Water 

levels and other hydrologic data on Luna County have been published in 

Water-Supply Papers 817, 845, 886, 911,. and 941. These reports should be 

consulted for detailed descriptions of the wells whose water levels are 

given in the tables that follow.

Precipitation, pumpage. and fluctuations in water level

The precipitation at Denting in 1942, as reported by the United States 

Weather Bureau, was 10.24 inches. This is 1.24 inches above the normal of 

9.00 inches. A large proportion of the precipitation occurred in July, 

August, and September. In 1941, the total precipitation recorded was 

14.89 inches, 5.89 inches above normal..

Approximately 13,000 acres of land was irrigated by ground water in 

the Mimbres Valley in 1942. The acreages irrigated in 1941 and 1940 have 

been previously estimated at 12,170 and 11,730 acres, respectively. The 

amount of ground water used for agricultural and industrial purposes in 

1942 Is estimated, from preliminary data, at about 24,500 acre-feet. The 

estimated amounts for 1941 and 1940 were 21,000 and 25,500 acre-feet, 

respectively.

Water levels were measured in 70 wells in January, March, May, and 

October 1942, and in 59 additional wells in January only. Automatic waterstage recorders were in operation on 5 wells in Mimbres Valley during the 

year. The measurements made during January were used in preparing maps 

showing the yearly change in the ground-water reservoir in Mimbres Valley, 

and the measurements made on the selected group of wells throughout the 

year show the seasonal fluctuations of the water table.

Changes of water level from January 1942 to January 1943 are shown on 

figure 18. Water levels declined during 1942 over about 200 square miles 

of the area shown. In the area south of Deraing, where water levels declined 

in 1941, they declined again in 1942, and over about 21 square miles they 

declined more than 1 foot. Bast of Bed Mountain, water levels rose a 

fraction of a foot over an area of about 7 square miles; but just to the 

north they declined more than 1 foot over an area of about 2 square miles. 

It was in this same area that a large rise occurred in 1941. In the 

vicinity of Deraing, and toward the east along the Mimbres River, water 

levels declined more than 1 foot over an area of nearly 3 square miles.
HEW MEXICO, LOTA COUMTY 305

East of the Little Florida Mountains and the ground-water dam, which 

extends north of the mountains, water levels continued to decline. A 

lowering of more than 1 foot took place over an area of about 15 square 

miles, in about 3.5 square miles of which the lowering was greater than 2 

feet, the greatest decline In any one well being 3.19 feet In well 24.7.8.221. 

Two small, isolated rises In water level are shown on figure 18, one near 

the center of T.25 S., R. 10 W., and the other Just west of the north end 

of the Little Florida Mountains.

Northwest of the area shown In figure 18, In Tps. 21 and 22 S., Rs. 

10 and 11 W., water levels declined about 3.5 feet during 1942. A rise of 

about 6.5 feet had occurred in this area during 1941 as a result of the 

abnormal flow of the Mimbres River.

The general lowering of ground-water levels in Mimbres Valley is caused 

by the removal of ground water from storage by Irrigation wells. In the 

area In which the lowering has been greatest, irrigation with ground water 

has been most intensive. The rise of water levels east of Red Mountain may 

be caused partly by the southeasterly movement of water fron the area just 

to the north, where a large rise occurred In 1941. The western part of the 

area in which the rise occurred In 1942 is only lightly pumped, and a 

smaller lowering of water levels there Is to be expected. Just north of the 

eastern part, a number of wells have been deepened within the last two years 

to depths of a few hundred feet. The water In the lower aquifers Is under 

pressure and tends to recharge the shallower aquifers In the vicinity of 

the deep wells. Use of water from the lower aquifers also lessens the draft 

on the shallow water,and at least a temporary slackening In the rate of 

lowering of water levels should occur.

514 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

QUAY COUNTY (HOUSE AREA) 

By C. R. Murray and P. D. Akin

The investigation of the occurrence anduse of ground water for Irrigation in the House area, Quay County, was continued in 1942 by the Federal 

Geological Survey in cqpperatlon with the State engineer of Hew Mexico. 

This investigation was begun in 1940 and has been conducted successively by 

C. S. Conover and P. D. Akin under the immediate supervision of C. V. Thels. 

Water levels, well descriptions, and other hydrologic data on the House 

area are published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 941. 

Precipitation, pumpage. and fluctuations in water level

The precipitation at Hassell in 1942, as reported by the United States 

Weather Bureau, was 21.56 inches, which is 8.27 inches above the normal of 

13.29 inches. Hassell is about 7 miles west and 4 miles north from House. 

Most of the precipitation occurred during the period April to October. 

Although the precipitation in 1942 was considerably above normal, it was 

only slightly more than half of the 42.52 inches recorded in 1941.

A rough survey of crop acreage in 1942 by Mr. Akin Indicated that about 

1,250 acres in the House area was irrigated with ground water,and it is 

estimated that approximately 2,500 acre-feet of water was used fof this 

irrigation. This was considerably more than the 580 acre-feet pumped in 

1941 for irrigating about 720 acres and the 1,570 acre-feet used In 1940 

on 785 acres.

Water levels changed appreciably during 1942 In the Eouoe area, the 

largest rise being 1.26 feet, in well 5.29.5.342, and the greatest decline, 

1.22 feet, in well 5.29.18.233. They declined in a atrip about a mile wide 

along Alamosa Creek from the center of T. 5 H., R. 30 E. to the center of 

sec. 31, T. 6 N., R. 29 E. It was In this strip that they had risen more 

than 4 feet in 1941. In the vicinity of House, the strip along the creek 

in which the water levels declined In 1942 widens to about 1$ miles, forming 

a pronounced embayment over the same area in which exceptional rises occurred 

in 1941.

Most of the observation wells in the House area outside the part of it 

in which levels declined showed rises ranging from about 0.45 foot to 1.25 

feet. This part of the area coincides roughly with the part In which rises
NEW MEXICO, QUAY COUNTY 315

of 2 to 4 feet load occurred In 1941, but it also Includes sec. 13, 

T. 5 N., R. 29 B., where water levels declined in 1941. It Is apparent that 

these adjustments In water level are working toward a condition of equilibrium after the unusual amount of recharge following the heavy precipitation 

In 1941.

ROOSEVELT COUNT? (PORTALB3 VALUY) 

By C. R. Murray and P. D. AJcin

The investigation of the ground-water resources of Portales Valley was 

continued in 1942 by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

State engineer of Hew Mexico. It was begun in 1951 by Charles V. Theis and 

has since been conducted under his supervision. Results of the investigation 

have been published in the 10th to 13th Biennial Reports of the State 

engineer of Hew Mexico. Water levels, descriptions of wells, and other 

hydrologic data on Portales Valley have been published in Geological Survey 

Water-Supply Papers 845, 886, 911, and 941.

Water-level measurements were made on 55 wells in January, March, July, 

September, October, and November 1942, and in 125 others in January only. 

Five automatic water-stage recorders were in operation in Portales Valley 

in 1942.

Precipitation, pumpage. and fluctuations in wafrer level

The precipitation at Portales in 1942, as recorded by the United States 

Weather Bureau, was 17.35 inches, 0.72 inch below the normal of 18.07 inches. 

This was much less than the 44.10 inches recorded in 1941, and the amount 

of ground watdr needed for irrigation was correspondingly much larger than 

that used in the preceding years. A rough survey of croplands in Portales 

Valley by Mr. Akin indicated that about 15,700 acres was irrigated in 1942, 

and it is estimated that about 23,500 acre-feet of water was pumped for 

irrigation. In 1941 only about 9,750 acre-feet of ground water was used on 

15,000 acres, but in 1940 about 25,800 acre-feet of ground water was used on 

13,700 acres.

Changes in water levels from January 1942 to January 1943 are shown in 

figure 19. In general, water levels declined along the axis of Portales 

Valley and in Blackwater Draw but rose in the intervening sand-hills area. 

The amount of decline of the water levels along Portales Valley was not 

uniform, as there were three areas of exceptional lowering. A decline in 

water level of 3.73 feet was observed in observation well 1.32.3.440, in 

sec. 3, T. IS., R. 32 E., at the west end of the area shown in figure 19. 

In well 2.34.4.441, southwest of Portales, a. decline of 4.35 feet was

recorded. This well was surrounded by an elliptical area of about 33 square 

miles in which water levels declined more than 1 foot. Water levels In 

about 11 square miles in this elliptical area declined more than 2 feet. 

In well 2.36.26.423, about a mile southeast of Arch, the water level declined 

3.42 feet. Surrounding this well is a second elliptical area, in which water 

levels declined considerably in 1942$ only the western part of the second 

area is shown in figure 19. Separating the three areas of large decline 

are two small areas; in the one in the north half of T. I S., R. 33 E. water 

levels rose more than 1 foot, and in the other, along the boundary between 

Rs. 35 and 36 E., T. 2 S., they declined only a fraction of a foo . 

Water levels along Portales Valley began to decline about the middle of March 

and declined rather rapidly until the middle of August, after which they 

remained stationary or roae slightly.

In Blackwater Draw most water levels declined a fraction of a foot, the 

maximum recorded decline being 1.06 feet in well 1.35.6.141. Lowering of 

water levels took place over a stretch of at least 15 miles along the draw, 

as shown in figure 19.

In the sand-hills area between Blackwater Draw and Portales Valley, 

water levels in general rose a fraction of a foot; in an area of about 14^ 

square miles northeast of Portales, however, the rises amounted to more than 

1 foot. The largest observed rise was 2.91 feet, in well 1.35.19.432.

The pattern of water-level fluctuations during 1942 appears to be the 

result of the very heavy precipitation in 1941. The water levels declined 

during 1942 in the two valley areas consisting of Portales Valley proper and 

Blackwater Draw, where they had risen many feet in 1941, and they rose during 

1942 in the sand-hill area lying between, where they had risen only a few 

feet in 1941. Neither the changes in 1941 nor those in 1942 appear to be 

correlated primarily with the localities of heavy pumping. The valley areas 

ordinarily form a locality of discharge by transpiration and evaporation for 

part of the ground water, as is shown by the shape of the water table, but 

in 1941, because of the accumulation of surface water 5.n these low areas, 

they became localities of unusually heavy recharge. During the nearly normal 

year of 1942, transpiration and evaporation almost certainly disposed of 

more water In these low valley areas than in 1941, because of the extraordinarily high water table In 1942, with the result that the water levels
322 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

in these low areas declined more rapidly than usual. However, because the 

water table in the low valley areas was still high in 1942, percolation of 

ground water from the sand-hill areas could not take place as rapidly as 

usual, with the result that the water accumulated more or less in place 

in the sand-hill areas and the water levels there rose. Perhaps the 

accumulation under the sand-hill areas may be due in part to the very slow 

penetration of the 1941 rainfall,but, if so, the lag before reaching the 

water table was of the order of a year.

SIERRA COOHTY (HOT SPRINGS ABBA) 

By C. B. Hurray

The investigation of the thermal waters at Hot Springs, conducted by 

the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation, with the State engineer of 

Hew Mexico was continued in 1942 by making periodic measurements of water 

level in wells in the area. Well descriptions, water-level measurements, 

and other geologic and hydrologlc data on tihe Hot Springs area have been 

published in Geological Survey Water-Supply Papers 911 and 941. A general 

report giving the results of the investigation will be published in a 

forthcoming biennial report of the State engineer of Hew Mexico.

Water-level measurements were made in 14 observation wells in the 

area in Maroh, August, and November 1942. Three automatic water-stage 

recorders were in operation during the year two on wells deriving water 

from the Magdalena limestone and one on a shallow well dug into the alluvium.
NEW MEXICO, SIERRA COOHTY 337

Fluctuations in water level and artesian head

Water levels and mrtesian head were most strongly Influenced, In 1942 

as formerly, by the stage of the Rio Orande at Hot Spring?, Pumping or 

artesian flow of water from wells caused the principal dally fluctuations 

of artesian head, and evaporation and transpiration caused the principal 

dally fluctuations of the water table. Judging by the record obtained by 

the recorder on well 6, the artesian head rose sharply, beginning April 

13, In response to a sudden Increase In the discharge of water from Elephant 

Butte Reservoir. By early June It had rlaen approximately 1.7 feet, after 

which It declined, except for temporary rises caused by several heavy rains 

In August, until the end of September. It then rose slightly, but at the end 

of the year It was about 0.5 foot lower than at the beginning of the year. 

Artesian head at Its lowest stage In 1942 was about as high as Its highest 

stage in 1939 and 1940, In which years the flow of the Rio Orande at Hot 

Springs was regulated according to seasonal irrigation requirements rather 

than by the more uniform needs of the hydroelectric plant now operating at 

Elephant Butte Item. The fluctuations of the water table, as shown by the 

recorder on well 6a, are similar to the fluctuations of the artesian head. 

Water levels began rising about April 10 and by May 22 had risen 2 feet. 

They then declined sharply, and, except for very large flash rises occasioned 

by heavy rains in August, they continued to decline until the end of 

September. After a slight rise during the last 3 months of 1942, water 

levels at the end of that year were about 0,8 foot below their stages at 

the beginning of the year, but they were abeut 0.8 foot above their stages 

at the time the record for well 6a began, in March 1941.

TORRANCB COUMTY (BSTANCIA VALLEY) 

By C, R. Murray

The Investigation of the ground-water resources of Bstancla Valley 

by the Federal Geological Survey in cooperation with the New Mexico State 

engineer was continued in 1942 by making periodic water-level measurements 

in observation wells. Geological Survey Hater-Supply Paper 275, published 

in 1911,is a detailed report by 0. E. Meinzer on geologic and hydrologic 

conditions In Estancia Valley. Water levels, well descriptions, anil a very 

brief description of ground-water conditions in Estancia Valley have bsen 

published in Water-Supply Paper 941.

Precipitation, pumpage. and fluctuations in water level

The amount of precipitation received in Estancia Valley la the major 

factor Influencing the position of the water table, aa only a small amount 

of water is pumped for irrigation and Industrial use. The precipitation at 

Estancia In 1942, as reported by the United States Weather Bureau, was 13.50 

Inches, 0.09 Inch above normal, and at Mclntosh, near the north end of the 

valley, It was 18.24 inches, 1.25 inches below normal. The number of acres 

of commercial vegetables irrigated decreased from about 160 in 1941 to about 

100 in 1942, of which 70 waa dry beans. Irrigation was less intensive In 

1942 than in the previous year, and the amount of ground water used decreased 

from about 500 acre-feet in 1941 to about 75 acre-feet in 1948,

Water levels were measured in about 64 wells in January, April, and 

August 1942. One automatic water-stage recorder was in operation throughout 

the year. In the areas in which the depth to the water table Is less than 

20 feet, most water levels declined several tenths of a foot from April to 

.August, and although some recovery took place in the later part of the year,
HEW MEXICO, TORRAKCB COUJIST. 341

the water levels In most wells In these areas were slightly lower at the 

end than at the beginning of the year. In wells In which the depth to the 

water table was greater than 20 feet, water levels generally rose throughout 

the year, but in some wells the effect of the natural discharge in the 

shallow-water areas produced some lowering of their water levels in the 

summer months. Water levels in wells northwest of Estancia rose more consistently than in those to the southwest, where rises had been greatest in 

1941.
