The general pattern of flow of water in 1962 was slow movement from all directions toward the cones of depressions or the Mississippi River and other streams. The lowering of water levels in the Alton, Wood River, National City, and Monsanto areas that has accompanied withdrawals of ground water in these areas has established hydraulic gradients from the Mississippi River towards pumping centers. Ground-water levels were below the surface of the river at places and appreciable quantities of water were diverted from the river into the aquifer by the process of induced infiltration. The piezometric surface was above the river at many places. For example, southwest of the Granite City cone of depression water levels adjacent to the river were higher than the normal river stage and there was discharge of ground water into the river. The average slope of the piezometric surface in areas remote from pumping centers was 5 feet per mile. Gradients were steeper in the immediate vicinity of major Figure 51. Drainage system and estimated elevation of piezometric surface about 1900 in 1956 than in 1961, and ground-water levels were lower in the vicinity of streams and lakes in 1956 than they were in 1961. During June 1962, when water levels were near peak stages, a mass measurement of ground-water levels was made, and data collected are given in tables 23, 24, and 25. The piezometric surface map for June 1962 is shown in figure 54. Features of the piezometric surface maps for June 1961 and June 1962 are generally the same. The deepest cone of depression in June 1962 was centered in the Monsanto area where the lowest water levels were at an elevation of about 350 feet. A smaller cone of depression occurred near the Mississippi River about 1.5 miles west of the large Monsanto cone of depression in the vicinity of a small pumping center. The water levels in the center of this cone of depression were at an elevation of about 355 feet. The elevations of the lowest water levels in other important cones of depression were: 385 feet in the Wood River area, 390 feet in the Alton area, 395 feet in the Granite City area, and 390 feet in the National City area.
