<p><span>An automatic </span>water<span>‐stage recorder has been maintained on an </span>observation<span>‐</span>well<span> </span>in<span> Arlington County, </span>Virginia<span>, about 1‐½ miles from the United States Weather Bureau, </span>in<span> Washington, D.C., since June, 1928, but there are a few interruptions </span>in<span> the record. This is a dug </span>well<span>, about 28 feet deep and extends through terrace deposits of gravelly silt or loam. It has not been used for </span>water<span>‐supply during the period of record. The recorder was installed by the United States Geological Survey and the record has been given considerable study by O. E. Meinzer, W. N. White, and L. K. Wensel, all of the Geological Survey. </span>In<span> July, 1931, the study of this </span>well<span> was made a part of a more comprehensive </span>investigation<span> of the ground‐</span>water<span> resources of </span>Virginia<span> </span>in<span> cooperation with the State Geological Survey, which was assigned to the writer. The </span>well<span> is essentially of the </span>water<span>‐table type, and its hydrograph shows approximately the periods of rainfall‐penetration and the relative amounts of recharge </span>in<span> each of these periods. The record is especially instructive because of certain unusual climatic conditions that have existed </span>in<span> the last four years. </span></p>
