Although the hydraulic gradient between the water table and the piezometric surface indicated that water moved downward most of the time, a reversal in direction was noted for dry periods. Hydrographs of water levels in wells in the southwestern part of the Green Swamp area (fig. 25, well 805-155-1 and fig, 26, well 808-155-2) show that the water table fluctuated between 5 and 10 feet during the period 1959-62. The water table remained near the surface during the wet years of 1959 and 1960, and the aquifer afforded little capacity for storing: rainfall. During the dry years of 1961 and 1962, the water table was progressively lowered by pumping from the Floridan aquifer south of the Green Swamp.
