ABSKIACT

The Wood River unit is mainly terrace land that lies on the north side of the Platte River between the city of Kearney and the town of Wood River. As irrigation from pumped wells is practiced extensively in the unit and is a major factor in the economy of the area, it is important to know the amount of water pumped annually from the ground- water reservoir and if the amount of discharge is greater than the annual recharge.

Measurements of the water level in several observation wells in the area have been made periodically since the fall of 1930* These records show that in parts of the Wood River unit the water level has lowered since 1930; the net decline during the period from 1930-^9 vas about 6.5 ft in one well situated about > miles north of the town of Wood River. - This indicates that the average annual discharge is greater than the average annual recharge, at least in a local area.

Water is discharged from the ground-water reservoir by pumping from wells, by seepage into the Platte River and into Wood River, by underflow eastward, and by transpiration and evaporation in the areas of shallow depths tcy-water* All, irrigation^ domestic, stock, municipal, and industrial^water supplies are obtained from wells. The ground water is recharged principally by precipitation that falls-Within the area, by effluent seepage from the Platte Biver and perhaps- locally from Wood River, by underflow from the west, and by return flow from a part of the water pumped from wells for irrigation.

A field census, made in the summer of 19^8, showed 1,113 irriga­ tion wells in the Wood River unit in 19^7- Of this total, the kj2 electrically driven pump installations were operated for an average of

hr during the 19^7 irrigation season. Discharge measurements were made on 142 representative irrigation wells; the average yield was 856 gpm. The average electrically pumped well discharged 69.7 acre-ft of water during 19^7, the average amount of water applied to each irrigated acre was 1.52 acre-ft and the total annual pumpage was 77>600 acre-ft. Pumping-plant efficiencies were determined for 86 electrically powered pumping plants; the average plant efficiency was 57-3 percent.

The report contains three maps, one showing the locations of all irrigation wells and the depths to water below land surface, another showing contours of the water table as of March and September 19^8, and another showing the change in ground-water levels for the period be­ tween 1931 and

INTRODUCTION

Location and Extent of the Area

The Wood River unit in Buffalo and Hall Counties, Nebr., is a component part of the "Grand Island division" of the lower Platte River basin for which the United States Bureau of Reclamation has pro­ posed a plan for full development of the water resources. (See fig. 1.) The Wood River unit includes that part of the Platte River valley that lies north of the Platte River and extends from near Kearney on the west to approximately 1 mile east of the town of. Wood River where a canal route normal to the axis of the valley has been proposed. It also ...includes the land in the Wood River valley below Amhersto The area totals about 233 sq miles. The Platte Valley segment is about 25 miles long, and the Wood River segment is about 13 miles long. The Wood River valley ranges in width from 1 to 2 miles whereas the Platte River valley ranges in width from about 7 miles at Kearney to 12 miles at Wood River. The Platte Valley segment of the unit is traversed by the Wood River, which enters the Platte River valley at a point about k- miles north of Kearney and flows eastward, nearly parallel to the Platte River, about 5 miles to the south.

The city of Kearney is adjacent to the west edge of the area and, according to the 1950 United States census, has a population of 12,106. Populations in 1950 of the main towns in the area are as follows: Shelton, 1,032; Gibbon, 1,059; Wood River, 856; and Riverdale, 116.

Agricultural Development and Irrigation

Before the advent of the settlers the area included in the Wood River unit was covered with a dense luxuriant growth of mixed grasses, which tended to develop very fertile soils. The materials on which these soils are developed are extremely variable; they range in texture from clay to sand and generally are more sandy near the Platte River.

The soils of the Wood River unit have been mapped and described in soil survey reports of Buffalo County (Hayes and others, 1928) and Hall County (Veatch and Seabury, 1918).

The first farmers in the area were Mormons who had settled in 1853 along the Oregon Trail near the present site of the town of

Shelton. Most of tha early white inhabitants were cattlemen, but when other settlers arrived and appropriated the land for crop uses, the cattlemen moved farther west. Agriculture was developed slowly by the pioneers who suffered many setbacks. The lack of markets And transpor­ tation facilities was a retarding influence and the grasshopper plagues bf the middle 1870's were almost disastrous. Severe droughts in the 1890 f s resulted in total crop failures in some localities. Prairie hay

, has been an important crop in the valley since agriculture was first practiced in the area. Wild hay is still important , although it has been replaced largely by alfalfa, except in the marshy and swampy areas near the Platte River.

It was not until the late 1920's that some of the farmers began to realize the possibilities of ground-water irrigation and, hence, began to install irrigation wells. The first wells were hand-dug by the farmers and were cased with lumber, which was replaced later by masonry or concrete. Some of these ea"rly wells are still in use, but most of them have been replaced.

At first many farmers were reluctant to accept the introduction of irrigation in this area, largely because it entailed additional labor, thus necessitating a change from large-farm to small-farm opera­ tion. The severe drought of the 1930's, however, prompted farmers to turn quickly from dry-land farming to irrigation, and wells were in­ stalled as rapidly as the available drillers could construct them. The deep-well turbine-type pump had recently been improved and soon all other kinds including vertical and horizontal centrifugal pumps became almost obsolete. Development of modern power units added much impetus to the growth of pump irrigation and, more recently, the program of rural electrification with its low electric power rates contributed to this growth. At the present time nearly half the wells are powered by electricity.

Purpose and Methods of the Investigation

The pumping from wells for irrigation in the Wood River unit im­ poses heavy demands on the ground-water reservoir. Records of water levels, which have been measured periodically in observation wells since 1930, indicate that the water level has been declining in certain parts of the area, particularly in the higher terrace areas northwest

of the town of Wood River. Both local and Federal organizations have formulated tentative plans for the construction of irrigation canals to bring water into, .the area from jatorage reservoirs above, .the valley in the Wood River "basin. They have proposed the establishment of a bal­ anced gravity-well irrigation system which would irrigate lands not now under irrigation and which would contribute to the ground-water supply by means of infiltration to the water table from surface-water irriga­ tion. At the present time no surface-water developments are in the Wood River unit.

Almost every development of surface-water irrigation in the Platte River valley has caused perplexing drainage problems, and in some places no adequate provision has been made for their solution; as a result, some agricultural lands have become waterlogged or damaged by seepage. If surface-water irrigation is developed in the Wood River unit, drainage problems will probably arise, especially in areas where the water table is near the land surface. Thus, -tile continued collec­ tion of records of ground-water levels will become increasingly impor­ tant.

The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation has determined that a total of 120,768 acres of land situated in the Wood River unit could be irri­ gated by a well-gravity system. Of this total 53>6l5 acres, or a little less than half, are presently irrigated from wells. The balance, or 67,153 acres, represents lands widely scattered over the entire unit that are not now irrigated but are under cultivation.

Before the proposed plans can be developed, an appraisal of the water resources of the Wood River unit must be made. Earlier investi­ gators of the ground-water resources of the Platte River valley esti­ mated the total quantity of ground water being pumped for irrigation; however, these estimates were bas^ed on a miniMim of. data. In order to obtain,data for a more accurate appraisal, an inventory of all pumping plants and their 'ground-water withdrawals was begun in the summer of 19^*8. For this inventory, about 1,000 well operators were interviewed. The following information for the 19*4-7 season was obtained; estimates of the number of hours of operation and of the yields of the wells; the number of acres irrigated by the wells; and the crops irrigated by the wells.

In addition to information reported on pumping plants, the normal operating discharges of 1^2 wells were measured. A Hoff current meter was used for measuring yields, and it proved to be ideal for rapid

measurements because it is quite adaptable to the different outlet con­ ditions and .to the variable discharges, of each, well *

Wherever it was possible, the pumping level in each irrigation well was measured by use of an electrical sounding device. Power input was determined for all electrically powered pumps from which discharge was measured.

A record of power consumption for each electrically powered in­ stallation, was obtained either from the Rural Electrification Adminis­ tration offices at Grand Island or Kearney or from the Consumers Public Power District office at Kearney. 1!hese records gave the billed horse­ power and the kilowatt-hour consumption; the billed horsepower is 90 percent of the rated horsepower for the plant. All pump installations served by the Rural Electrification Administration in Buffalo County were tested at least once each season to determine the rated horse­ power input of each plant; thus, the records obtained are believed to be up to date and reasonably accurate. Installations in Hall County are not checked every year, but all have been tested in recent years and the horsepower rating is believed to be accurate within 10 percent. From these records the average hours of operation for each of the Vf2 electrically powered pumping plants in the area were determined to be hk2 by dividing the total kilowatt hours for the season by the rated horsepower multiplied by 0.7^6 (1 hp «. 0.7*1-6 lew).

Approximately ^3 percent of all wells in the area are powered with electricity. It is reasonable to assume that the average oper­ ating time for engine-driven units closely apprmdLoates that of the electrically powered units and that a close estimate of the average operating time for all plants can be obtained from the records pf electrically pumped wells. Each electrically powered well was operated for an average of M2 hr in

Acknowledgments

The investigation in the Wood River unit was under the general supervision of A. H. Sayre, Chief of the Ground Water Branch of the United States Geological Survey, and G. H. Taylor, regional engineer of the Ground Water Branch in charge of the Missouri River basin ground- water investigations. The study was under the direct supervision of H. A. Waite, district geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Nebraska.

The U. S. Geological Survey and the Conservation and Survey Divi­ sion of the University of Nebraska have been cooperatively investigating the ground-water resources of Nebraska since July 1, 1930. In 19^5 the Geological Survey expanded its program of ground-water studies in con­ nection with the program of the U. S. Department of the Interior for the development of the Missouri River basin. This study is a part of the program of investigations by the Ground Water Branch being made in the Missouri River basin.

The following personnel of the Lincoln office participated in the field work and in the preparation of the report: R. S. Brown, F. E. Busch, G. C. Chipps, R. L. Schreurs, F. G. Schnittker, and H. S. Unger.

Appreciation is expressed to all those who were of assistance in the course of the field investigation. Personnel in the Grand Island office of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation were very cooperative at all times. Personnel in the Grand Island and Kearney offices of the Rural Electrification Administration and in the office of the Consumers Public Power District at Kearney furnished data on the electetc-power consumption of the electrically powered pumping plants in t^earea. The collection of statistics on irrigation wells neeeseitat&d a visit to almost every farm in the area and an interview with almost .every farm operator. The farmers willingly supplied information about their wells and irrigation practices.

GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS

The geologic formations exposed at the surface in the Wood River unit are unconsolidated sediments of Recent or Pleistocene age. These unconsolidated sediments, collectively referred to as mantle rock,

Bedrock Formations

The Ogallala formation, of Pliocene age, immediately underlies the Pleistocene sediments in the Wood River unit. It rests on the Nio­ brara formation, of Cretaceous age, in the vicinity of the town of Wood River and on the Pierre shale, also of Cretaceous age, in the western part of the Wood River unit near Kearney. The Pierre shale is near its easternmost limit in this region and is not present in the eastern part of the unit.

Cretaceous System

The Niobrara formation is subdivided into two members. The Fort Hays, or lower member, consists of gray to yellowish-gray massive lime­ stone, and is ^0 to 6*0 ft thick. The overlying Saoky Hill member con­ sists of lead-gray and yellow shaly chalk and is from less than a foot to about 350 ft thick.

The Pierre shale consists of black, gray and brownish clay shale, thin layers of bentonite, indurated shaly chalk, well-defined concre­ tionary zones, and, in the upper part, thin sandstones. It ranges in thickness from about 150 to about ^00 ft except where it thins to a featheredge as a result of post-Cretaceous erosion.

13

Tertiary System

The Ogallala formation,of Pliocene age, is the only Tertiary for­ mation underlying the Wood River unit. It is of Continental origin, having been laid down by streams, and consists of interbedded hard and soft layers of sandy gravel, sand, silt and clay. Some layers are cemented by liiae, but others are relatively unconsolidated, Tke Qgallala is progressively f jLner-textured in an eastward direction. These finer-grained deposits, consisting principally of silt and silty sandstone, have been described as the Seward facies (C6ndra, Reed and

..Gordon, 1950, p. 15) of tae Ogallala formation and underlie the Pleis­ tocene deposits throughout the Wood River unit. The maximum thickness of the Ogallala formation in the Wood River unit is approximately 250 ft although the formation reaches a maximum of about ^00 ft in the Platte River valley farther vest.

Mantle-Bock Formations

Holdrege formation. The oldest Pleistocene deposits in the area consist of sand and gravel principally in tt^e valleys developed on the pre-Pleistocene surface. The deposits are of wide-spread occurrence in south-central Nebraska, originally forming a constructional plain interrupted only by the high divides of the ancestral drainage basins. These fluviatile sediments coalesced eastward, where they graded pro­ gressively into outwash deposits and till deposited during the Nebraskan stage of glaciationo The fluviatile material consists mostly of ©rosional products carried in by streams from higher plains and moun­ tains to the west. These basal Pleistocene deposits, referred, to as the Holdrege formation, range in thickness from a featheredge to about 50 ft in the Wood River unit. The lower part of the Holdrege is con­ tinuous with the pre-Nebraskan sand and gravel and the upper part is correlative with the Nebraskan tillo

Fullerton formation. Following the retreat of the Nebraskan glacier, the surface of the sand and gravel of the Nebraskan till were exposed to weathering and erosion with the concurrent development of soil and the local deposition of fine to coarse sediments in eroded areas. These deposits have been named the Fullerton formation. They range in thickness from 5 to about 30 ft. The Fullerton formation is

coextensive with the underlying Holdrege formation and is likewise dis­ continuous, owing to erosion both prior to and since the deposition of the formations that overlie it. The Fullerton formation is equivalent in age to silts of the Aftonian stage of eastern Nebraska,

Grand Island formation. The Grand Island formation, like the Holdrege formation, is composed mainly of alluvial sand and gravel and some glacial outwash, but its upper part is composed principally of fine sand. Deposited during the advance and subsequent retreat of the Kansan glacier, this formation ranges in thickness from about 20 to 75 ft in the Wood River unit. The Grand Island formation is coextensive with the underlying Pleistocene deposits but it is more continuous. It is exposed in the bluffs and gullies on the south side of the Platte River valley from Shelton westward and in this area it is the source of sand which has been reworked by the wind into sand dunes on the south side of the valley. The lower part of the Grand Island formation and the Holdrege and Fullerton formations lie below the floor of the Platte River valley in the Wood River unit.

Sappa formation. During the quiescent stage that followed the Kansan glaciation, clay and fine sand were deposited on the Grand Island formation. These deposits, named the Sappa formation (formerly called the Upland formation) range in thickness from about 5 to 50 ft or more. Although probably continuous at the time of deposition, this formation was subsequently subjected to weathering and eroded to the extent that it was reduced to more or less patchy occurrences before the deposition of the overlying formations.

Crete formation. Post-Kansan erosion reduced the Grand Island- Sappa constructional plain to a deeply and maturely dissected surface. The Crete formation (Condra, Reed and Gordon, 1950, p° 24), consisting mostly of sand and gravel modified by materials derived locally from valley slopes, was then deposited in the channels. The thickness of the formation i£ as much as 30 ft.

Loveland formation. The early phase of deposition represented by the Crete formation gave way to widespread deposition of the Loyeland formation, which consists of stratified silt and clay with some laminae of very fine sand within the valleys and massive reddish-brown loess mantling the upland surfaces. The deposition of sand and gravel of the Crete formation and of loess and silt of the Loveland formation with subsequent soil formation took place during the period of the advance and retreat of the Illinoian glacier. The Loveland formation ranges in thickness from about 20 to 50 ft.

Todd. Valley formation and Peorian loefta.*-- She Loveland construc­ tional plain was subjected to mature dissection, and deposition was again resinned, with aggradation of valleys by the fine gray sand and gravel of the Todd Valley formation. This phase of sedimentation gave way to widespread deposition of the buff to yellowish Peorian loess , tthich, in some upland areas , ranges in thickness from about 30 to ^5 ft or more* One fairly thick soil has been recognized on top of the Peorian loess, and other traces of old soils have been recognized in some places « The Todd Valley formation is of lovan age and the

loess is of lowan to Mankato age.

Bignell loess. Soil formation on the surface of the Peorian loess was followed by deposition of the Bignell loess (Schultz and Stout, 19^5 ), which consists of grayish silt, on terraces and uplands bordering the Platte *and other valleys ° Tix« thickness of this loess is as much as 20 ft and its age is probably Mankato to Recent.

Becent deposits . Ho sharp line divides Recent deports from those of Pleistocene age. Recent alluvium of the Wood River unit is restricted to the bottom lands and is lia%fed to a few feet of re­ worked surface materials. In addition to alluvial deposits, Recent deposits consist of wind-blown loess and of topsoil developed on the valley terraces and upland surfaces.

CLIMATE

Precipitation

The mean annual precipitation at Keamey from 189^ to 19^8 iras about 23.3 in° The minimum annual recorded precipitation was 11. ?6 inoin 1931*-, and the maximum was 40.07 in.in 193£«. The heaviest pre­ cipitation usually accompanies local thunderstorms in the summer. Normally about 65 percent of the rainfall occurs during the growing season, and in the early part of the summer rainfall is fairly evenly distributed, but late in July and through August and September i,t generally is less evenly distributed. Droughts frequently occur in late summer when the corn, which is the principal crop, is taaseling. Because this is a critical time in crop growth, irrigation is almost always needed for full development, even though the total annual

16

precipitation may be above normal. 30 in.

The average annual snowfall is about

at Kearney and from 1915 to l$kk at Grand Island show that the annual precipitation during these periods was generally below the average for the period of record. The cumulative departure graph indicates that the drought, usually associated with the 1930 's, actually began in 1916, became increasingly severe in the early thirties, and reached its climax in 19^0.

The prevailing winds are from the south in summer and from the northwest in winter; however, winds from other directions are frequent, The winds are usually moderate to strongo In summer, they are often accompanied by high temperatures and low relative humidity, both of which cause rapid evaporation of the soil moisture. High winds, strong enough to damage property and trees, occasionally occur with thunderstorms. Hail often accompanies the thunderstorms and fre­ quently damages the crops. During the 19^-8 field season, when data for this report were being collected, hail storms did much damage to crops, particularly to corn. Tornadoes rarely occur in the Wood River unito

Temperature

The mean average temperature of the area is about 50°F. Tempera­ tures of more than 100°F are common in midsummer; winter temperatures often drop below zero, and sometimes they drop *s low as -30°F.

The average growing season is about 160 days. April 29 is the average date of the last killing frost in spring although, in 19^7, a killing frost occurred on May 29,which represented the latest of record, The average date of the first killing frost in the fall is October 5; September 12, 1902, is the earliest date of killing frost on record 0

FLUCTOATIOHS OF THE WATSR TABLE

The water table beneath the Wood Eiver unit fluctuates in essen­ tially the same way as does that of any surface-water impoundment; during some periods the ground-water reservoir is replenished and the water table rises, and during other periods withdrawals exceed the available recharge and the water table declines» As changes in gage height of the water surface in a surface-water reservoir reflect changes in the amount of water stored therein or the net differences between

18

inflow and outflow likewise, .the changes, in water level in wells indi­ cate the changes in storage to the ground-water reservoir or net differ­ ences between inflow and outflow. However, because a large percentage of the volume in a ground-water reservoir consists of solids and only a small portion consists of voids, the addition or withdrawal of a given quantity of water causes fluctuation of the water table that is greater than the fluctuation of the water surface of a surface reservoir of the same volume. In the Wood River unit the ground-water reservoir is replenished by precipitation which penetrates the soil and percolates to the water table, by underflow from the valley farther west, by seepage from the Platte and Wood livers at times when the water surface in the rivers is higher than the adjoining water table, and by return seepage from irrigation water. Ground water is discharged from the area by underflow, well pumpage, transpiration, evaporation, and effluent seepage into streams.

If the quantity of ground water withdrawn from the area during a certain period is greater than the recharge, the water table declines * During a period of dry years the water table may decline progressively, but during a subsequent period of wet years it may rise again to its former level or it may even exceed its previous maximum high level* -A- decline of the water table during a dry year does not necessarily mean an excessive or dangerous withdrawal of water from the ground-water reservoir, although this condition is generally indicated when a period of decline extends over a prolonged period of years. During wet years not only is recharge increased but also withdrawals from the ground- water reservoir may be decreased as a result of decreased irrigation, demands., In dry years the heavy pumping contributes to the lowering of the water table, but it increases the potential storage capacity of tfae ground-water reservoir; thus, in following wet years, the soil may absorb water that would have been wasted if the water table had not been low.

The increase in pump irrigation in the lower Platte River valley is beginning to Affect stream flow; when the water table is lowered b^ pumping for irrigation, recharge from stream water is greater. This is evidenced by available stream flow data for the stretch of the Platte River, which is adjacent to the south edge of the Wood River unit* The nearest upstream river gaging station is 2.5 miles south of Odessa, which is 10 miles west of Kearney, or about 12 miles west of the western boundary of the unit and the nearest station downstream is 5 miles southeast of Grand Island at a point about 18 miles downstream from the southeast corner of the unit. Stream flow data collected at these

19

stations show that the river may be a losing stream for periods of six months to one year. It is "believed that these losses in stream flow are in part caused by contributions to the ground-water reservoir of the Wood River unit and adjacent areas which has been depleted largely because of pumping for irrigation. The graph of the cumulative differ­ ence in flow of the Platte River between the Odessa and Grand Island stations for 19^6, 19^7, and 19^8 (see fig. 5) shows that the Platte

Only during the periods of mid-February to May 19^7 and March, May, and June of 19^8 was the river a gaining stream. The cumulative changes in the weighted average water level of the Wood River unit and of the water level in the whole lower Platte River valley are also shown in figure 5« "£he weighted average water level in the Wood River unit fluctuates more than that of

20

the entire lower Platte River valley. This suggests that both dis­ charge and recharge of the ground water are more rapid and in greater joagnitude in the Wood River unit than in the remainder of the valley. The large dips in the graph are due largely to the pumping of ground water for irrigation, and the rises in the graph indicate effective recharge after periods of pumping. Comparison of the two curves shows a greater cumulative rise in weighted average water levels from September 19^7 to June 19^8 in the Wood River unit than in the lower Platte River valley. Preceding and during this same period, the Platte River was a losing stream * This suggests that the apparent greater recharge to the ground-water reservoir in the Wood River unit may be due to influent seepage from the Platte River.

Het Changes in Ground-Water Storage

A decline in the water levels in some parts of the Wood River unit has been observed since 1930 > "the water table has risen slightly during some periods, but the general long-term trend has been downward. This is particularly true northwest of the town of Wood River from the River to the north edge of the valley.

Many of the irrigation wells that were inventoried in 19^8 were either in existence in 1931 or have replaced wells that were in the same general locality in 1931 Hydrologic data, collected from July 1931 to July 1932 as part of an investigation of the geology and ground- water resources of south central Nebraska (Lugn and Wenzel, 1938) in­ clude depth-to-water measurements for many of these irrigation wells. Water-level measurements made in irrigation wells in 19^8 were compared with those made in 1931 and 1932. These comparisons are shown for 168 wells in table 2 (pp. 50-52)0 The water levels in 158 of these wells showed declines of 0.01 to 9.75 ft, and the water levels in the other 10 wells showed rises of 0.08 to 1»42 ft. Ifcese 10 wells are situated in a shallow-water belt immediately adjacent to the Platte River and it is believed that the water levels in them are affected readily by recharge from the river. The greatest observed decline occurred in well 11-12-llbcc which is near the north edge of the valley about 8 miles north and 2 miles west of the town of Wood River.

The locations of the wells in which the depths to water were measured in 193! or 1932 and again in 19^8 are shown in plate 1. The

21

numerals on the map indicate the rise (+) or decline (-) of water level between the readings . (See column 6 of table 2.) Polygons were constructed about the well locations by erecting perpendicular bi­ sectors on the lines which connect adjacent well locations. Because all points within a given polygon are nearer to the observation well within that area than to any other observation well on the map, it is assumed that the water-level difference of that well applies to the whole polygon . The polygon method of determining the weighted average change in water levels over an area is an adaptation of the Thiessen method (Thiessen, 1911, p. 1082), which was originally used for deter­ mination of the mean depth of precipitation over a given area. The weighted average decline of the water table in the Platte River valley part of the unit was about 2*6 fto The area of this part of the unit is approximately 215 sq mi. Therefore, if the specific yield (that is, the ratio of the volume of water which an aquifer will yield by gravity to the total volume of the aquifer) is about 20 percent, the above weighted -average decline represents a loss in ground -water stor­ age of about 71,000 acre -ft from 1931-32 to

Changes in ground -water storage, based on fluctuations of water levels in observation wells, have been determined for monthly periods during 19^6 and for bimonthly periods during 19^7 and 19^8. The pro­ cedure for making these determinations is that described above . This method was first applied by Ray Bentall to studies of changes in ground-water storage in the lower Platte River valley (Waite and others, 19^9 > P° 3*0° ^he cumulative departure in ground -water storage in the Wood River unit during 19*1-6, 19^7, and 19^8, and the cumulative departure from normal precipitation at Kearney are shown graphically in figure 6, The seasonal changes in ground-water storage (figo 6 B) show that after the lowest ground -water level is reached near the end of the pumping season each year, the amount of ground -water storage increases progressively until late the following spring. .The. .amount of ground water in storage was reduced in July and August of each of the 3 years? the amount of depletion each year is nearly the same in magnitude, but the .amount of recharge varies considerably the recharge in the spring of 19^6 was very small, primarily because the amount of precipitation was deficient. The graph also suggests that recharge from precipita­ tion occurs with but little lago

Fluctuations Caused by Pumping

When a well is pumped, the water table surrounding the well takes the approximate form of an inverted cone. The slope of this depression is dependent among other things upon the quantity of water 1?eing pumped. As pumping continues, water flows toward the well from an increasing distance, and the cone of depression becomes progressively larger. When the pumping is stopped, the cone of depression gradually fills with water from the area beyond the limits of the cone; thus, the regional water table declines until it eventually parallels but is lower than its original surface. This process is repeated each time a well is op­ erated and, as a result, the water table at the end of the pumping season is lower than it would have been without the pumping.

Pumping is usually started in June and is continued intermittently until late September. The amount of pumping varies considerably from year to year; it depends principally upon the distribution of summer precipitation and upon the available soil and subsoil moisture at the beginning of the growing season. The average annual fluctuation in the water table is less than 3 ft. The water levels generally are highest in June or July and are lowest at the end of the pumping season in September or October.

Fluctuations Caused by Precipitation

The soils in the Wood River unit range from heavy-textured soils on the higher terraces to light-textured soils on the lower terraces. Some of the light soils of the bottom lands were formed from sand wind blown into small dunes which produce* a hummocky relief. Sandy soils cover about 2k percent of the unitv

The sandy soils are loose and are generally very porous; conse­ quently, rain that falls on them quickly penetrates the surface and soon percolates downward to the zone of saturation. In contrast, the heavier soils of the upper terraces are relatively compact and, because infiltration is slow, much of the amount of water that reaches the zone of saturation varies considerably within relatively short distances. For this reason, the water table does not rise uniformly after a rain but takes a temporary shape of mounds and hollows. When the rain ceases, the higher water table again levels out.

Graphs, obtained from data from two wells equipped with recording gages, demonstrate the unequal recharge from precipitation. (See fig. TO) One of the recording gages is installed on well 9~l^"Wc, near Gibbon, and the other on well ll-ll-25cc, which is k miles east of the Wood River unit. A 3- to 4-in. rain fell in the vicinity of these wells on June 22, 19^7; the water table rose more than 3 ft in well 11-11-25cc, but it rose only about 6 in. in well 9-l4-ldc. The water table in both wells was about the same depth below land surface before the rains it was 16.5 ft at well ll-ll-25cc and 17.5 ft at well 9-lij--ldc. The differences in the character of the materials penetrated by each of the wells is shown by the following drillers' logs;

Fluctuations Caused by Changes in Stage of the Platte River

In the Platte River valley the fluctuations of river stage probably affect the ground-water levels at greater distances from the river than they do in most other valleys; a small rise or fall in the stage of the stream produces a change of gradient over an area extend­ ing several miles from the river, because the water table for several miles adjacent to the Platte River has essentially the same direction of flow and gradient as the river (Lugn and Wenzel, 1938, p. 119)'

Whenever the Platte River rises above the water table at its banks, water percolates from the river into the ground until the adjacent water table is raised to a level approximating that of the stream. When the stage of the river is below the water table, water flows back into the stream until the water levels reach equilibrium. Consequently, when water is:pumped from the ground-water reservoir for irrigation, Platte River water percolates into the ground-water reser­ voir.

Water-Level Measurements

The fluctuations of the water table in the Wood River unit have been recorded since 1930, when a water-level observation program for the Platte River valley was initiated by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. Water-level measurements in about 60 obser­ vation wells in the Platte River valley between Grand Island and Gotheriburg were made periodically from 1930 through the suamer of 1936; measurements were made at infrequent intervals, fro® 1936 to late 19^5 > and since then, measurements have been made every 2L months. Twelve of these wells are in the Wood River unit. Hydrographs of the water levels in the ten wells which have the most complete records are shown in figure 8. All water-level measurements that have been made since the Missouri River basin program was initiated are shown in table 3 (pp- 53-63). Two of these wells, 9-l4-ldc in Buffalo County and 9~12-9ba in Hall County, were equipped with recording gages; the lowest daily water levels for each of the two wells are given in table 3. The recorder on well 9-12-9ba was removed on March 26, 19*1-7 at the request of the well owner who planned to install a pump on the well; periodic measurements have been continued since the recorder was

CONFIGURATION OF THE WATER TABLE

In order to ascertain the configuration of the water table, water levels were measured in a total of 50 wells within the unit and adja­ cent areas. The altitudes of the measuring points above mean sea level had previously been determined by spirit level at each of these wells by the Geological Survey. Water-level measurements were made in March 19^8, and a water-table contour map was constructed. The water levels in 16 wells were measured again in September 19^8. Contours of the water table for March and September are shown in plate 2. The altitude of the water table at each observation well is shown beside the respec­ tive well symbol plotted on the map. The altitudes for March are shown either with or without an underline, and the altitudes for September are shown below the line. Because the water table was lower in Septem­ ber than in March, nearly all the contour lines for September are up valley from the equivalent contour lines for March. Most of the contour lines show that the change in water-table altitudes between March and September is greatest in the area immediately adjacent to the Platte River; thus the greatest declines of the water table during the summer occurred in the lower valley benches. The areas showing the greatest declines have the most irrigation wells and most ground water pumped. In addition, large quantities of ground water are discharged, in the shallow-depths-to-water areas as a result of evapotranspiration pro­ cesses .

The water-.table contour lines are,Approximately perpendicular to the general direction of the course of the Platte River. Therefore, the direction of ground-water movement is, for the most part, j»arallel to the river; however, the movement is slightly away from the river in some areas, particularly in the area ^ust east of Kearney. The general movement of ground water in the Wood River unit is east to northeast; thus, the ground water is moving into the unit from the westo Wenzel (Lugn and Wenzel, p. 13^) estimated that approximately 5,300,000 gal of water a day moves down the valley in the vicinity of Kearney. If this figure is correct, about 6,000 acre-ft of water a year percolates into the Wood River unit as underflow from the westo The gradient of the water table is essentially the same as the gradient of the river, that

29

is about 7 ft to the mils.. The contour lines show no appreciable move­ ment -of ground water from the uplands north of the valley but do indi­ cate some movement of water from the. Platte River into the .area. The configuration of the contours suggests that precipitation within the Platte River valley is first in importance as a recharging agent, and that recharge from the Platte River during periods of high, stages is, perhaps, second- During the fall of the year, when the ground-water levels are low, this factor is particularly important; a further de­ cline in the water table would result in a greater recharge from the Platte River. Recharge from underflow from upstream regions of the valley is third in importance ,

DEPTH TO THE WATER TABLE

At the time each irrigation well was inventoried, the depth to water below land surface was measured. Static water-level measure­ ments could not be obtained in a few wells that were sealed or in wells that were being pumped at the time they were visited. Practi­ cally all wells in the area were visited during the summer and fall of 19^8. The depth-to-water measurements were plotted on the irri­ gation well location map of the unit, and lines showing equal depths to water below land surface were drawn. (See pi* 30 Because of the uneven surface of the land and because the measurements were made over a period of several months, these lines are only an approximate representation of the depth to water , However, the result of taking so many measurements throughout the area would tend to minimize the effect of topography and time.

A map showing the depth to water below land surface is the lower Platte River valley in March 19^7 appears in an earlier report (Waite and others, 1948). The water table is nearly a plane surface which slopes with the approximate gradient of the Platte River. The surface topography of the area, however, is somewhat irregular, and ranges from flat to gently rolling| thus, the depth to water is largely governed by irregularities in the topography In general, the depth to water becomes greater as the distance from the Platte River increaseso The greatest depth to water in any of the wells inventoried in the area was 58017 ft below land surface at well ll-12-15abb which is near the edge of the valley north-northwest of the town of Wood River. In the Platte River valley segment of the

' 30

unit, the area is divided into nearly equal .parts by tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad which are approximately parallel to the Platte River; "between the railroad tracks and the Platte River the depth to the water table generally la less than 20 ft, and between the railroad and the north edge of the valley the depth to the water table generally is siore than 20 ft. The average depth to water is between 20 and 25 ft below the land surface.

GROUHD-WATER DISCHARGE

Prior to pump irrigation in the Wood River unit, the average annual discharge by natural processes was approximately equal to the average annual recharge. Ground water is discharged from the unit by plant transpiration, by evaporation, by seepage into streams, by springs, and by outflow to the east and northeast in the direction of the water- table gradient. The rate at which ground water is discharged by these processes is influenced by many factors, the most important of which are the depth to the water table, the season of the year, and, near the river, the changes in stage of the river. Differences in the depth to water beneath the area cause more ground water to be discharged in some parts of the unit than in others. More water is discharged by plant transpiration in areas adjacent to the Platte River tbaa in other areas where the water table lies at a greater depth. Evaporation of ground water is confined to places where the water table is within a few feet of the surface or to where ground water seeps out along stream channels. Comparatively little ground water is discharged by seepage into streams in the Wood Rfver unit; some water is discharged through springs along the Wood River, and some is discharged to the Platte River «h£n it is at low stages. Much imtmrBl dlsch£ir^e of ground water, takes .place by underflow to the northeast. This discharge would practically equal the recharge by underflow from the west if there were no other recharge or discharge from the ground-water reservoir while the water is in tran­ sient storage beneath the unit. In the Wood River unit the inflow does not exactly balance the outflow because of the wide variation in the transmissibility of the water-bearing materials through which the water is moving and because of other complexities of the recharge-discharge relationships prevailing throughout the unite The hydrologic properties of water-bearing materials are discussed in an earlier report on the lower Platte River valley.

31

The use of large amounts of ground water for irrigation has caused a progressive lowering of the water table in s.Qme areas. When the. water table is lowered, the natural discharge by evaporation, by transpiration, by flow from Beeps, and springs y and by underground movement .of water out of the unit is decreased. If the rate of de­ crease in the natural discharge equals the rate of withdrawal by pump­ ing, minus the rate of recharge by percolation from irrigation, the position of the water table will become practically stationary. Dur­ ing the pumping season ground-water withdrawals in the pumping area north of the river could proceed to such an extent that the water table could be lowered substantially. When this happens a gradient sloping toward the pumping area is set up and ground water will move into the area of decline at an increased rate*

Discharge from Wells

Domestic and Industrial Supplies

Residents of the Wood River unit obtain most of their domestic and stock water supplies from the ground water. A few cisterns are used for the storage of rain water for laundry purposes, but water from these systems represents only a very small part of the total amount consumed. In the rural communities, most of the domestic and stock wells have a small diameter and are jetted, driven, or drilled; they are equipped with pitcher, force, rotary, or jet pumps^ which are driven by hand, windmill, gas engine, or electric motor. The yields of these wells are only a few gallons a minute, and much of the pumped water returns to the ground The total amount &£ water pumped for rural domestic and stock use is comparatively small and, because the area is agricultural, the use of ground water for indus­ trial purposes is negligible.

Irrigation Supplies

The area of the Wood River unit is about 233 sq mi, or approxi­ mately 149,000 acres. According to statistics compiled by the Bureau of Reclamation (19^5), water pumped from wells irrigated 53,615 acres,

32

which is more than one-third the total area in the unit. According to the inventory made as part of this .investigation^ 51^55 acres were irrigated by the 1,113 wells in the. Wood Siver unit, in 1947. On the average, each section has about five wells and each well irrigates 45<>9 acres. Ninety sections have six or more irrigation wells and many have nine or ten.

In 1931 and 1932 the locations of all irrigation wells in the lower Platte River valley "between Chapman and Gotheriburg were mapped for a cooperative ground-water survey of south central Nebraska (Lugn and Wenzel, pi. 10); about 350 irrigation wells were in the Wood River unit at that time. Thus, there was an increase of more than 760 wells from 1932 to 1948. Presumably, the number of acres irrigated during that period increased correspondingly.

Ground water is the source of nearly all irrigation water in the unit. A few pumping plants pump water directly from the Wood River, but they are relatively small installations and supply only a very small percentage of the total amount of irrigation water.

All irrigation pumping plants were visited during the summer of 191*8 and the winter of 1948-49. Nearly all pump operators were inter­ viewed at this time; a summary of the crop data thus obtained is shown in the following table.

Approximately 90 percent of the irrigated acreage in 1947 was planted with corn; the remainder vas planted.wittt sugar .beets, beans, potatoes, alfalfa, and small grains. Corn is the main crop in the unit because it has a hig£i cash value and it is especially adaptable to the type of irrigation practiced in the area. A few truck gardens are irrigated! however, most of them are located in or near the towns and are watered by small pumping plants, some of which are no larger than domestic supply wells.

An estimate of the amount of water applied per irrigation acre can be readily determined from the proper data. The number of acre- feet of water that any well discharges is equal to the time the well is in operation multiplied by the discharge in acre-feet per unit time. In 1947, in 142 representative wells, the discharge averaged 856 gal a minute or "?" acre-ft per hour (a discharge of a gallon a minute is

equal to .000184133 or f- acre-ft per hour). The number of hours

a well is in operation during the season can be calculated by the formula

hours pumped = __kilowatt hours consumedhorsepower rating of the plant x 0.7^6

The pertinent electrical energy data were obtained from the power companies, and it was computed that the 472 electrically powered wells operated for an average of 442 hr each in 1947 0 Therefore,

the average discharge for each well in the unit was 69.7 acre-ft, and the average amount of irrigation water applied per acre in 1947 was Io52 acre-ft (69-7 * 5-9 = 1.52). A summary of these calculations for 1945, 19^6, 1947, and 1948 is shown in the table on the following page.

The total annual pumpage for irrigation in the Wood River unit varies considerably, although, in general the quantity of pumped water has increased. The amount of irrigation varies somewhat with the amount and distribution of precipitation received during the growing season. Most irrigators have a tendency to consider that the precipi­ tation during a crop season supplements the irrigation rather than to consider that the irrigation-supplements the precipitation.

the fields are planted, they are prepared for irrigation and are irri­ gated at intervals depending on the amount of precipitation received and the time since the last period of rainfall or since the last appli­ cation of water.

In general, the first application of water is the largest "because the loose soil is usually low in moisture content and more readily absorbs water and allows greater percolation of the water. Most irrigators do not allow the soil to become too dry because some of the crops would be damaged by drought if considerable time was required to resaturate the soil. Consequently, precipitation does not affect the amount of pumping as much as it did when irrigation was new to the area. Sometimes too much water is applied. After the pumping has begun, many of the plants operate without supervision in fact, they often operate throughout the night. Waste occasionally results; too much water may be applied to the crop, or the banks of the irrigation ditch may collapse and allow water to flow into road ditches and other places that do not require irrigation.

Yields of Irrigation Wells

The rate of discharge of the irrigation wells in the Wood River unit varies considerably. Small driven wells, used for irrigating gardens, produce only a few gallons a minute, but some of the large wells probably yield more than 2,000 gpm. The yields were measured for

35

irrigation wells which were selected at random and were being pumped under operating conditions; the largest yield measured was 1,860 gpnu

In order to estimate accurately the pumpage of ground water in the Wood River unit, the discharges of the irrigation wells were measured under operating conditions . Most farmers in the area use siphon tubes (spiles) to divert water from the main ditches into the lateral ditches; if the pump is stopped, 'the siphon tubes must be reset when operation is resumed; consequently, it 1 is necessary to select a measuring device that could be used while the plant is in operation. The factors considered in the selection of measuring equipment were? diameter, length and position of discharge pipes, range in velocity in discharge pipes, and ease and speed of operation of measuring equipment. Ordinarily there was free discharge at the outlet of the pump although the discharge of a few wells is submerged in a catchment basin After all factors were carefully considered, it was decided that the discharge could be most satisfactorily .meas­ ured with a Hoff current meter, an instrument that had been used successfully by W* E. Code (19^3, p. 17) in pumping-plant investiga­ tions in Colorado. The Hoff current meter has a k-ln. rubber pro­ peller that turns a horizontal shaft. A ring guard> which has a slightly greater diameter than the propeller, is attached near the rear of the propeller and prevents it from striking the sides of the discharge pipe. The meter, with the added guard ring, can be inserted into any discharge pipe that |tas a diameter greater than ^ in. In order to obtain reasonably accurate measurements, the dis­ charge pipe must be flowing full. Partly full pipes were sometimes made to flow completely filled by partly obstructing the opening. Rohwer (19^2), irrigation engineer, Division of Irrigation, Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, describes the use of current meters in measuring pipe discharges. The meter was rated and checked for accuracy by the writer in the pump-testing laboratory of the Western Land Roller Co., Hastings, Hebr. The pump discharges that were used in rating the meter were from 6-, 8-, and 10-in» discharge pipes. A total of 55 known rates of discharge, measured continuously by a Sparling meter and a Republic flow gage, was used to calibrate the Hoff current meter.

Data collected on the measured wells are shown in table k (pp 0 6^-68)0 The depths to water were measured with an electrical- sounding device,. Static water levels were obtained earlier in the season when the pumps were idle; at that time the static water levels

36

may have been slightly higher than the nospumping levels during the irrigation season. Therefore, the amount of drawdown in each case may be slightly less than the amount shown in the table.

Well Construction and Types of Irrigation Pumps

The development of more efficient pumps and irrigation practices has been accompanied by an improvement in well construction. During tfc£ «*rly period of pump irrigation in the Wood River unit, the methods of well construction were many and frequently makeshift. Resourceful farmers often installed their own wells, particularly in areas where the water table was near the land surface. Later, local residents, after establishing themselves as professional well drillers, con­ structed most of the wells. Several of these drillers have expanded their businesses to include the manufacture of pumps, well casings, screens, and well-drilling equipment.

At first, some irrigation well casings were made of wood, and occasionally oil barrels were used. One of the most popular earlier types of casing, however, was galvanized iron tubing which was 2k in. in diameter; blank casing was used in fine-textured materials, such as clay or very fine sands, but otherwise the casing was perforated. Practically all of the perforated casing used is pre-perforated. At the present time very few wells are constructed using 2^-in. casing.

The first type of pump in common usage was the horizontal cen­ trifugal pump, which operates with a practical suction lift of 20 to 25 ft and which must, therefore, be either submerged or within the above limits of the source of supply. The earliest pump of this type could not be submerged; consequently, a deep pit, which had its floor a foot or two above the water table,was constructed, and the pump was placed at the bottom of the pit. The sides of the pit were generally faced with boards, masonry, or concrete. A farm tractor at the land surface was generally belted to the pump pulley in the pit. A few of these old installations are still in use.

The vertical centrifugal pump was the first pump that did not require installation in a pit. It rotated in a horizontal plane and was small enough to be installed inside of a 2k -in. casing. The pump was lowered into the well to a suitable depth below the water table,

37

and was then operated by a long vertical shaft that extended from the pump to a pulley above the ground surf ace --belt power was applied to

pulley. Many of these pumps are still in service.

The deep -well turbine has become the standard irrigation pump in the area* About 90 percent of the irrigation wells in the Wood River unit are now equipped with deep -well turbine pumps which have dis­ charge pipes k, 6, 8, or 10 in. in diameter; the 6- and 8 -in. pipes are the most commonly used.. The unit has 72 vertical centrifugal pumps, 28 horizontal centrifugal pumps, and more than 1,000 deep -we 11 turbines. Most wells and pumping plants are now installed by experi­ enced well drillers who practice the latest methods of well construc­ tion and placement of pumping equipment. An l8-in 0 galvanized iron casing, which is equipped with a properly designed screen, is gener­ ally installed; the well is packed with gravel around the screen and is developed after drilling. Because of these improvements, the efficiencies of modern Installations are considerably greater.

Irrigation-Pump Power

Electricity, which is distributed at relatively low power rates in the Wood River unit, has been rapidly gaining popularity as a source of energy for irrigation-well pumping plants. A direct- connected vertical electric motor makes an ideal power plant for the deep-well turbine because the motor easily overcomes the low starting torque of the turbine and hence gains full speed withoug becoming overloaded. In addition, this type of installation requires little attention. However, unlike engine-powered plants which can be regu­ lated by changing the engine speed, the electric motor operates at a constant speed; hence, this type of power has the disadvantage of producing a nearly constant rate of pump discharge.

Tractors are second in importance as a source of power. They are economical to operate and can be used for other purposes when they are not required for pumping. One tractor may be used to pump two or more wells, if they are pumped at different periods» Inasmuch as a natural-gas pipe line traverses the area from Kearney to Wood River, some irrlgators who have wells near this line use natural gas to fuel the stationary or tractor engines which are used for operating pumps. Natural gas is purchased at tjtie low rate of 18^ per 1,000 cu ft; con-

38

sequently, fuel costs for pumping with natural gas are relatively low, as shown in the table below.

Depth and Diameter of Irrigation Wells

Most irrigation wells in the Wood River unit are comparatively shallow, as shown in the table below. Only 10 were reported to be more than 100 ft deep. Well 10-13-15ccb and well 10-13-l^dbc were reported to be 2^2 and 225 ft deep, respectively.

The diameter of most irrigation wells is either 18 or 2k in. Most of the newer wells have 18-in. casings; this may be due to the high cost of steel and to high drilling costs. The 18-in. casing easily accommodates the deep well turbine pumps and, when used in a properly designed and developed well, it is adequate in size.

Evaporation

Evaporation of water from the Platte River and tributary streams during the summer months is a component part of the natural discharge for the Wood River unite Wenzel (Lugn and Wenzel, p* 153) ig&timated that, between Chapman and Gothenburg, 15,000 acre -ft of Mater evaporated yearly from what was then the dry bed of the Platte River and from the adjacent lands where the water table was near the ground surface. Since the time that Wenzel made his observation, the Kings ley Dam has been constructed on the North Platte River near Key- ^teaeo Lake McGonaughy, the storage reservoir created by this dam, has, a capacity of about 2,000,000 acre-ft, and water is released for power and irrigation . Return flow from these and other developments MiataiBs an almost continuous flow in the Platte River i consequently, the- river bed no longer becomes completely dry for extended periods in the summer, and thus evaporation loss has greatly increased . If JLt is assumed that the river has an average width of 0»4 mile between Odessa and Grand Island and if it is assumed that the rate of evapo­ ration approximates the average rate that has been computed from data from all evaporation stations in Nebraska, the total evaporation loss £r©® this section of the Platte River would be more than 56,000 acre^- ft<* Because the flow in the river is so variable, the loss from sur- £aee and ground water by evaporation ranges between the above amounts ; it might average about 40,000 acre-ft yearly*

Weather Bureau and the Uo So Department of Agriculture maintain seven evaporation stations in Itebraska. These are at Bridgeport, Kings ley Dam, .Lincoln, Stod North Platte, near Mitchell and near Ros^mont, and at the Box Butte Experiment Farm near Alliance . The average evaporation for all of these stations , except Mitchell, was 48<>28 in. for 1946 and 49.46 in, for 1947.

There is much opportunity for evaporation from the water sur­ faces of the wide Platte River and adjacent pond and marsh areas and because of this, evaporation from ground water is not nearly as great a& evaporation from surface water. In areas where either the water table or the capillary fringe is near the land surface, air is readily diffused through the interstices of the soil and important evaporation losses may result. However, a dense vegetative cover soon develops in such areas, and most of the ground-water discharge is by plant trans- pirationo

40

Transpiration

Precipitation during the growing season in the Wood River unit is not generally sufficient for successful crop production, and, for this reason, supplemental irrigation is necessary, especially during the middle and late summer when there is much evaporation Plants must have adequate water if they are to attain optimum growth. If the avail­ able soil moisture is insufficient, the roots may reach the capillary fringe or may penetrate the zone of saturation, and the plants will then obtain their water supply directly from the ground-water reservoir. In a semiarid environment a plant that takes the available water at the expense of surrounding vegetation or that best withstands periods of drought has the greatest chance for survival; in upland areas the great­ est competition between plants is for water. Along the low land bor­ dering the Platte River, the competition for water is not a limiting factor in the plant ecology because the ground water is easily acces­ sible to the plants; as a result, there is a heavy growth of vegetation that derives most of its supplemental water from the ground-water reser­ voir.

About 10 percent of the land surface, or 28,500 acres, in the Wood River unit is less than 10 ft above the water table. Most plants in this area derive some supplemental water from the ground-water reservoir, and the discharge of ground water by transpiration is much greater than by evaporation. In the Platte River valley between Chapman and Gothen- burg, an area which overlaps the Wood River unit both upstream and downstream, Wenzel (Lugn and Wenzel, p. 151) estimated that the amount of ground water lost by transpiration was 12 times the quantity pumped from wells in 1931-32. However, this differential would be much less now because af the increase in the number of.irrigation wells; at the time of the above.study 809 irrigation wells were operated in the area; by 19^6, according to a survey made by the Uo S* Bureau of Reclamation, the number of pumping plants had increased to about 3,275. There were about four times as many wells in 19^6 as in 1932, and the amount of pumpage has probably increased proportionately. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that in 19^7 the amount of water lost by transpiration was more nearly three times the quantity of water pumped from wells.

Water-loving plants, such as rushes, sedges, cattails, and reeds, form much of the vegetative growth near the river and along sloughs and old channels where the water table is near or on the surface. Willow trees grow profusely along the Platte River and cover many acres in

/these low areas where the soil is always moist. Occasionally they are .found growing in higher places. Because willows produce great quanti­ ties of seed which are highly viable, a new dense growth of seedlings Appears each summer on sand bars and along the river banks. These luxuriant growths are dependent, to a great extent, upon ground water for their water supply<,

Many cottonwoods, also, grow along the river where the water table is only a few feet below the ground surface. The cottonwood, like the willow, grows best on the flood plain, but also grows in the higher, better drained areas; its deeper root system probably reaches ground water that is as much as 20 ft below land surf ace. Many other trees and shrubs grow along the Platte River, Wood River, and Prairie Creek in areas where the water table is shallow. These include the hackberry, ash, boxelder, black walnut, elm, buffalo berry, dogwood, elderberry, currant, wild grape, sumac, and ivy. Most of these prob­ ably obtain supplemental water from the capillary fringe.

The roots of some grasses extend 6 to 7 ft deep and obtain water from the zone of saturation. Much of the poorly drained soil of the flood plain is meadow, hayland, or pasture; grasses in these areas attain a luxuriant growth<» Much of the vegetation in uncultivated, poorly drained areas consists of wild herbaceous plants which are deep rooted and obtain water from the ground-water reservoir.

Cultivated crops also obtain water from the ground-water reser­ voir. Corn, oats, barley, and other cereal crops have roots that penetrate the soil to a depth of 7 or 8 ft. Alfalfa, a crop that requires much water, has roots attaining depths of 20 to 30 ft. Alfalfa is grown in the Wood River unit as a soil builder in crop ro­ tation schedules and is used .for hay and for the commercial production of alfalfa meal*

By means of water-level fluctuation data, Wenzel (Lugn and Wenzel, p. 118) showed that transpiration may cause decline of the water table* An automatic recorder was installed in well 9-12-Idee which is in the Wood River unit about 3 miles south and half a mile west of the town of Wood Biver, and a hydrograph was obtained for the period of June 16 to June 23, 1931. At that time, the well was sur­ rounded by a field of corn and was 75 ft from a 40-acre field of alfalfa and 25 ft from a field of barley, The hydrograph showed that, on most days, the water level declined from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and then rose until 8 a.m. the next day. The total rise each day was less than

the previous loss and hence the water table declined progressively. This water-level record supports the conclusion that ground water is consumed in the Wood River unit through the process of plant trans­ piration .

GROUND-WATER RECHARGE

Precipitation

Most of the ground-water recharge in the Wood River unit is de­ rived from local precipitation which averages about 23 in. annually. The part of the precipitation that reaches the zone of saturation is dependent upon many factors. Some of the precipitation becomes surface- water runoff, some evaporates, some is transpired by plants, and the remainder seeps downward to the zone of saturation and recharges the ground-water reservoir. When the amount of water that is absorbed by the soil is greater than the amount that can be held by capillarity, the surplus will move downward to the zone of saturation. In the early spring the amount of water contained in the soil is usually near capacity and excess water moves downward to the zone of saturation quite readily; thus, ground-water levels usually show a general rise in the spring. However, during the growing season, much water is discharged by evaporation and transpiration and water levels decline. The soil moisture is generally largely depleted toward the end of tfye sumer. This deficiency must be overcome before recharge to the ground water takes place in the following season.

The amount of water that is absorbed by the soil and that may then become available for recharge depends upon the character of the soil and the underlying material through which the water must pass enroute to the zone of saturation. In sandy areas where the ground is quite porous, water is readily absorbed and transmitted downward to the water table, but in loess-covered areas, particularly in the region which is north­ west of the town of Wood River and which extends to the northern limit of the valley, the soil and subsoil are compact and water is absorbed very slowly. After water levels have been lowered in the summer by heavy pumpage and plant transpiration, the ground-water reservoir is recharged by precipitation until the following spring. The rate and amount of this rise is dependent on the amount and distribution of the precipitation.

Seepage from Streams

A very close relationship exists between the amount of flow in the Platte River and the amount of water in ground-water storage. Studies by Wenzei (Lugn and Wenzel, pp. 153-15^, 186-187) in 1930, 1931 and 1932 proved that the Platte River is sometimes a losing stream and sometimes a gaining stream. A rise or fall in the river stage is accompanied by a rise or fall in the water levels in observa­ tion wells near the river except when the water table is affected by local rainfall. Farmers who live near the river often have observed that the water level in their wells would rise and fall with the stage of the river. The flow of the river at the Grand Island stream gaging station is often less than the flow at the upstream Odessa gaging station. (See fig. 9)- Inasmuch as this loss often is in the late

Figure 9---A, Monthly gain or loss, 'in acre-feet, in the Platte River between gaging stations #t Odessa and Grand Island; B., monthly rainfall, a'^rage of two stations, Grand Island and Kearney.

fall and winter months, it cannot be attributed to evapotranspiration, but to water percolating from the Platte River into the ground-water reservoir. During the period of record since the Odessa station about 10 miles west of Kearney was established in September 1938> losses in stream flow between the two stations have occurred at some time each year. The losses are not always of equal magnitude nor are they in the same months each year, but they are usually greatest during the fall and early winter. The greatest difference in flow was observed for the month of December lykk when the total loss was more than 52,000 acre-ft. Because these losses are in the fall of the year, it is reasonable to assume that some of this water recharges the ground-water aquifer which has been depleted during the summer months as a result of evapotrans- piration and of pumping for irrigation. However, during the early fall of 19^6, when the precipitation was greater than for any other fall season of record, the river was a gaining stream; thus, the river was losing little or no water to ground-water storage because recharge from precipitation was sufficient. The river again became a losing stream in December when the precipitation was below normal; hence, the recharge during the period of heavy precipitation in the early fall months had not effected a complete recovery of the water table. In 19^-7> heavy rains occurred in the spring, the heaviest rainfall was in early June, and during the summer only slight precipitation occurred. The Platte River, which had been a gaining stream throughout the spring, began to lose water in May and remained a losing stream until the following May when the precipitation was again sufficient to recharge the ground water in the area.

Irrigation Water

Ground-water recharge'also takes place by percolation from water pumped from wells that has been spread on the fields and by seepage from the ditches transporting the water to these areas, The amount of pumped water that escapes plant transpiration and evaporation and per­ colates downward to the zone of saturation is believed to be small. In general, water is applied to the land at times when there is a deficit in the belt of soil moisture and it is not often applied in excess of the crop requirement. The principal crops grown in the area are row crops, and therefore very little of the land is flooded by applied water. When crops are excessively watered and when irrigation water collects in depressions, some seepage to the zone of saturation may take

place.. As irrigation practices are improved, this condition is gen­ erally the exception and it is becoming less important each year« The high cost of fuel for power and other operating expenses in recent years has caused farmers to exercise greater care in applying the pumped irrigation water. On lands nearest the Platte River where the water table is less than 10 ft below the land surface, there is prob­ ably a higher return of water to the zone of saturation. These lands are often quite sandy and water percolates into them more readily than on the higher lands where the soils are generally fine textured and less permeable. Pump irrigation is not practiced extensively in the shallow-water areas because most crops grown in these areas can obtain supplemental water by subirrigation.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

A total of about 77,600 acre-ft of ground water was pumped for irrigation in the Wood River unit in 19^7. The average annual pumpage in this unit from 19^5 to 19^8, inclusive, was approximately 68,000 acre-ft. Water-level measurements made in 168 irrigation wells in 1931 and 1932 and again in the same wells in 19^8 showed an average net decline in water level of about 2.6 ft. The greatest net decline, 9=75 ft, was in well 11-12-llbcc which is near the northern limit of the Platte Valley about 8f miles north and 2 miles west of the town of Wood River.

The area of the greatest decline in the water table occurred northwest of the town of Wood River in an area which extends from the Wood River to the northern edge of the Platte River valley. Because this area lies from 6 to more than 12 miles from the Platte River, the immediate and effective recharge from the river is small. Removal of large quantities of ground water by pumping must necessarily be accom­ panied by a lowering, of the water table in the area involved unless surface water is introduced concurrently with ground-water removal. Thus, the fact that water levels have declined in this part of the Wood River unit from 1931 to 19^9 does not necessarily imply that there has been an overdraft.on the ground-water reservoir. As the area of the lowered water table increases, the hydraulic gradients from surrounding areas increase and the amount of ground-water inflow into the area increases. After pumping is discontinued at the end of the pumping season, ground water from outside areas continues to

recharge the area of lowered water table at a disd.nish.Ing rate as the depression fills with water. If pumping is resumed before the water table has recovered completely, the water levels in wells in the depres­ sion area would be lowered further. A large part of the net decline in water levels in wells in this part of the Wood River unit from 1931 to 19^9 probably resulted from only partial recovery of the water table after the years of subnormal precipitation and heavy pumping.

Hydrographs of ground-water fluctuations from 1931 to 19^9 in wells in the area of declining water levels indicate that from 19^1 to 19^9 when precipitation has been normal or above, the water levels in wells have either remained relatively constant or have shown an upward trend. Therefore, under the present conditions, the recharge of ground water is slightly greater than the discharge. However, in the future, there may again be periods of subnormal precipitation; as a result, the natural recharge will decrease, discharge owing to pumping for irriga­ tion will increase, and the water table will again decline.

Drought of several years' duration might result in a serious over­ draft of the ground-water resources in parts of the Wood River unit. The importation of surface water to this area would supplement the natural recharge to the ground-water reservoir and tend to even out the major fluctuations in ground-water levels. Adequate water-level obser­ vation data would be necessary for the efficient operation of such a program.

Special attention must be given to areas where it is probable that the application of surface water will result in high water-table condi­ tions. In such areas, it is recommended that a large number of obser­ vation wells be installed in a grid system pattern so designed as to give maximum ground--water information in the areas and that adequate provision be made for the collection of water-level records and for their analysis by qualified professional persons.
