MISSISSIPPI EIVEE BASIN, 1933

AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1933.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat.L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geological Survey and the classification of the public lands and examination of the 

geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the 

following items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources.

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated, either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are 

made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,680 

points in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and 

the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1933, 2,800 gaging stations were 

being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating

organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were 

made at other points. In connection with this work data were also 

collected hi regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, 

river profiles, and water power hi many sections of the country and 

will he made available in water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OP TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity of 

water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. The 

principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, secondfeet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. They may be 

defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A 

second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing hi a channel of 

rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, on 

the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards tune and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered 

if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed hi inches.

"An acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used hi connection with storage for irrigation.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation", an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control", a term used to designate the natural section or stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OP DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1,1932, and ending September 30,1933. At the beginning of January 

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in the 

preceding 3 months is stored in the form ol snow or ice, or hi ponds, 

lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this stored water
EXPLANATION OF DATA <8

passes off in the streams during the spring break-up. At the end of 

September, on the other hand, the only stored water available for 

run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the runoff for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived from 

precipitation within that year.

The base data collected at gaging stations consists of records of 

stage, measurements of discharge, and general information used to

FIGURE 1. Typical river-measurement station showing concrete well and house for water-stage recorder

and staff gages, cable, and car.

supplement the gage heights and discharge measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a staff or chain gage or from a water-stage recorder 

that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of 

discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge. 

A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder and 

measuring cable and car, is shown in figure 1.
'4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1933, PART 7

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared 

from the discharge measurements. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 

this report comprise a description of the station, a table showing the 

daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off.

The description of the station gives information in regard to the 

location and type of gage, diversions that decrease the flow at the 

gage, artificial regulation from pondage or storage, and the accuracy 

of the records. Information under "Discharge" gives the maximum 

and minimum recorded discharges and the average discharge. The 

maximum, does not necessarily represent the crest discharge unless a 

water-stage recorder was in operation or a nonrecording gage was read 

at the time of the crest. Likewise, the minimum may not represent 

the lowest discharge. The average discharge is the average of the 

mean annual discharges for the years indicated. It is given only for 

stations for which there are 10 or more complete years of record.

The table of daily discharge gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the daily gage height, which may be a 

once-daily reading or the mean of twice-daily readings of a nonrecording gage, or the mean daily gage height obtained from a water-stage 

recorder graph.

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation, the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily 

gage height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such 

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge for intervals of the 

day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for obtaining 

mean daily discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the maximum daily discharge, and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily discharge. 

The column headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. On this average flow are based computations 

recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined on page 2.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of records.
: . PUBLICATIONS 5

The station description gives a statement m regard:'to' the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates thai, in;general, the 

daily records are accurate within 5 percent; "good," wifiBinlO percent; 

"fair", within 15 percent; and "poor",, within 20 percent or more.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high 

accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures 

showing discharge per square mile and depth in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, or by inability to 

interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river 

above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "run-off in 

inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. 

The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining 

areas in which the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed 

studies of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, 

that the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to 

throw new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

streams, and the discharge recorded does not show the water supply 

available for further development, as prior appropriations below the 

station must first be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water power, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and 

annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries coincide 

with natural drainage features as indicated below:

PAKT 1. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John River to York River).

2. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River to 

Mississippi River).

Stream-flow records have been obtained at about 6,680 points in 

the United States, and the data obtained have been published in the 

reports tabulated on page 8.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extend over a series of years. Miscellaneous measurements at many 

points other than regular gaging stations have been made each year 

and are published under "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" 

at the end of each report in the same relative order as the regular 

gaging stations. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 

1933. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found in 

the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 

303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain records 

for the Ohio River Basin for those.years.

16 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1933, PART 7 

MISSISSIPPI KIVEE NEAR VICKSB¥116, BDBS.;

LOCATION. Tn T. 16 N., R. 3 E., at combined highway and railway bridge of 

Vicksburg Bridge & Terminal Co., 1% miles below mouth of Yazoo River and 3 

miles southwest of Vicksburg.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 1,144,500 square miles (revised) (measured "by Mississippi 

River Commission).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 1930 to September 1933. Stages only, April 1930 

to June 1931.

GAGE. Water-stage recorder in concrete house on fourth pier from left bank. 

The downstream cavity of the pier is used as the stilling well. Water is 

admitted to the well by three 6-inch intake pipes at different elevations and 

inclined 30 degrees from the vertical* Zero of gage is 46.16 feet above mean 

sea level.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Disqharge measurements are made from the 

downstream side of the highway section of the bridge. The highway section 

is on the upstream side of the bridge, and the railway section on the downstream 

side. The metering equipment is lowered through an opening between the 

floors of the highway and railway. The equipment is operated by means of a 

reel and boom mounted on a low-wheeled truck frame. The truck frame also* 

carries a four-cylinder automobile engine which sxipplies power for operating 

the metering equipment and moving the truck from point to point along the 

bridge. Depth of water and position of meter are shown by a depth indicator 

attached to the reel. During medium and high stages the depth of water and: 

velocity are such that the metering equipment is carried downstream and the 

indicated depth is too large. Conversion to true depth is effected by use of 

two correction tables, one of which gives the correction to slant length of 

supporting line above water surface, and the other gives the correction to> 

curved length of line below water surface. The use of each table requires a 

measurement of the vertical angle in the supporting line above the water surface, and this measurement is accomplished by use of a protractor applied to the 

line just below the bridge floor. The corrections to indicated depth are lessened 

by the use of large sounding weights. The maximum sounding weight used 

at the Vicksburg station is 300 pounds.

DISCHARGE. Maximum during year, 1,360,000 second-feet June 8-11; maximumgage height, 47.50 feet June 10; minimum, 156,000 second-feet Oct. 3 (gage 

height, 5.08 feet).

1930-33: Maximum, 1,410,000 second-feet Feb. 26, 1932; maximum gage 

height, 50.27 feet Feb. 29, 1932; minimum, 125,000 second-feet Nov. 19, 1931 

(gage height, 2.85 feet).

Maximum stage known since 1870, 58.7 feet May 4, 1927 (Weather Bureau 

record from their gage at Vicksburg, Miss.).

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. Daily discharge determined by shiftingcontrol method. Changes in stage-discharge relation determined by frequent 

measurements. Gage heights partly estimated Aug. 8-9, 16. Discharge 

interpolated Aug. 11-15. Records excellent.
