SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1945'

/ SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of ®. 

stage and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the united States during the 

water year ending September 30, 1945. The work v/as begun In 1888 In connection vflth 

special studies relating to irrigation. Measurements of ttie flow of streams and of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 10,300 gaging stations 

in ttie 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1945, 

5,600 gaging stations, Including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made 

during the water year at many other points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organizations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting In collecting data, cooperation 'of the first, 

kind is acknowledged In connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation of the second kind Is acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," in the introductory matter that precedee the gaglng-statlon records In each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the second kind appears on page 12.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units in which stream-flow data are presented In this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" Is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot Is thi 

rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity Is 3, foot per second.

"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 runoff Is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Runoff In inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered If all the water 

draining from It in a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface. It is used 

for comparing runoff with rainfall, which Is usually expressed In Inches.

An "acre-foot" is ttie quantity of water required to cover an a'cre to the depth of 

1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term Is commonly used In connection 

with storage for Irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a runoff of 0.0372 Inch from 1 square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the term "relation between gage height 

and discharge."

"Control" is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage that determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach 

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1945,.PART 4

"Contents" Is a term applied to the volume of water In a reservoir. It is computed on 

the basis of a level pool and does not Include bank storage unless otherwise Indicated.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, measurements of 

discharge, and general information used to supplement ttie records of* stage and discharge 

measurements in determining the dally flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

mej^r by the general methods outlined in standard textbooks on tfle measurement of river 

discharge. "Typical structures injise at gaging stations are shown In figure 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the daily mean gage height to those rating tables gives the 

daily mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge are computed. 

If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual 

change in the physical features that form the control, the dally mean discharge Is determined by the "shifting-control method," in which correction factors based on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used *ln applying the 

gage heights to the rating tables. At times the stage-discharge relation for a station 

may be temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control. 

For such times the daily mean discharge Is computed by what is essentially the "shifting- , 

control" method, described above.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by backwater from 

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other.sources, which necessitates the use of the "slope 

method," In which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream Is a factor in the determination of discharge. Information requisite for determining ttie slope or fall Is obtained 

by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations 

the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage, and Tor them the rate of 

change of stage is used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations in the northern part of ttie United States and at some In the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation Is affected by ice during 

the winter, which makes it Impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of Ice effect is computed on ttie basis of the gage-height record and 

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations In the same or nearby basins. For those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice, the days Included in 

the periods of ice effect either are indicated in the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given In a general note following the table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of Ice effect, 

shortly before -the first period, or shortly after the 'last period are similarly Indicated 

by a footnote.

For most of the gaging stations on streams In the area covered by this report the data 

presented comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of 

the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and runoff. Skeleton rating

tables are published for all stations except those at which the dally discharge for the 

greater part of the year was determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, 

or other special methods. .,

The description of the station glvss the type of gage,.Its latitude and longitude as 

 determined from the best available maps, and Information In regard to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage or storage, and the 

accuracy of the records. Under "Average discharge" Is given the average discharge for the 

number of years Indicated. It Is given only tot stations for which there are 10 or more 

complete years of record. Under "Extremes" are" given the maximum discharge and gage height; 

the minimum discharge-If there Is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge If 

there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge If useful); and the minimum gage 

height (unlsss It Is of no Importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge 

corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a, water-stage recorder or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum discharge represents the 

lowest stage, unless otherwise qualified. Selected peak discharges with the times of 

their occurrence are given, below the table of monthly discharge, for some stations. This 

supplementary Information Is generally omitted for a station at which the drainage area of 

the stream Is less than 10 or more than 10,000 square miles or at which, on most days, the 

peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent. ^

For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except those on streams subject to 

suddsn or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge corresponding to the dally mean 

gage height. For stations subject to such" fluctuation the dally mean gage height may not 

Indlcats the true dally mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge 

for parts of ths day or by using the discharge Integrator, an Instrument for obtaining the 

dally mean discharge .from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as an essential 

element a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. For stations 

equipped with nonreccrdlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives the discharge In 

second-feet corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage or the mean of twice-daily 

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage the dally mean discharge Is determined 

from'gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice dally or oftener, as 

stated In the station description. x

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

tot sach month of the figures given In ths table of dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives ths maximum daily discharge, not the momentary discharge when the water 

surface was at crest stage. Likewise, in the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given 

Is the minimum dally discharge. The column heaaed "Mean" gives the average flow In cubic 

feet per second during the month.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprlss a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stags and contents. For some reservoirs 

a table showing dally contents is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages Is 

usually given in the first report In which data for a station are published but is omitted 

from succesding reports.

TIME'BASIS

At 2 a.m. on February 9, 1942, as an emergency measure, the Nation shifted from 

standard time to "war time," and clock time in the several zones of the country was moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. At 2 a.m., war time, on September 30, 1945, a change was made
PUBLICATIONS ' * 5

back to standard time and clock time was moved back 1 hour, or to 1 a.m. This made September 30 a 25-hour day. Time given herein for the water year 1945 prior to the change on 

September 30 refers to war time; time after the change refers to standard time. To convert 

war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour. Records of daily discharge prior to February 9, 

1942, were computed, and those subsequent to September 30, 1945, will be computed on the 

basis of standard time; records between those- dates were computed on the basis of war time. 

The discharge given for'September 30, 1945, Is the mean for 25 hours. The mean discharge 

and runoff for the month of September have been computed from the total second-foot-days 

for the month without adjustment for the fact that September 30 was a 25-hour day. The 

small error resulting from this procedure has been disregarded.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS N

The accuracy or stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stage- 

' discharge relation or, If the control Is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

The station description gives a statement In regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, In general, the error In the daily records Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean 

discharge and runoff are, in general, more accurate than the dally records.

Yield'at some stations as Indicated by monthly means may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, Increase or decrease In evaporation 

due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "second-feet per 

square mile" and "runoff In Inches" are not published unless storage or diversion records 

.are included Indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes In contents or reservoirs or for other changes Incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir Is not Included in the adjustments for 

changes In reservoir contents, unless Its inclusion Is Indicated. Figures of second-feet 

per square mile and runoff In Inches,are also omitted If the drainage area includes large 

noncontrlbuttng areas or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage area 4s less 

than 2O inches.

Many gaging stations on streams In the Irrigated areas of the United states are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

does not show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations 

below the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge .presents In sunmary the distribution of the flow past the 

station. The table of daily discharge affords opportunity for more detailed studies of the 

variation In flow. As further observations in each succeeding year may be expected to 

throw new light on data previously published, It should be borne In mind that such data are 

subject to revision In succeeding water-supply papers.

PUBLICATIONS

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually In 14 parts, each

Papers on surfatfe water supply containing records from 1899 to date, grouped by years 

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 8. The data for any particular gaging 

station will, in general, be found in the reports covering the years during which tfte 

station was maintained.^ For example, the data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by part 3 are published in Water-supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years^.

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 measurements11 at the 

end of each report, the streams and points of measurement listed appearing in the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations in the body of the report. An index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published In Water-supply Paper 119.

Each of ,the reports on surface water supply for the year 1939, issued as Water-Supply 

Papers 871 to 884 (see table on p. 8), contains, for the ares covered by that report, a 

summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 1O or more complete years of 

record have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate reprints.

Financial assistance was furnished by the Corps of Engineers, United states Army, in 

the operation of 43 gaging stations, of which 8 were In Mlcnigan, 1 In Indiana, 9 in 

New York, 14 in Ohio, 5 In Vermont, and 6 In Wisconsin.

Financial assistance was furnished also by the Fish and wildlife service, United states 

Department of the Interior, and by the United states Department of State.

Full cooperation exists between the Geological Survey, United States Department of the 

Interior, and the Dominion Water and power Bureau, Department of Mines and Resources, 

Canada. On waters adjacent to the international boundary certain stations are maintained 

Jointly by the United States and Canada under the terms of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 

1909, and others are maintained under a subsequent agreement between the two Governments. 

The records from all these stations are obtained In such a manner as to be equally ac- -- 

ceptable and available in both countries. These stations are designated International 

gaging stations-.

14 GAGING-STATION RECORDS

ST. LAWRENCE RIVER MAIN STEM 

Niagara River at Buffalo, N. Y.

Location.- Lat. 42°52'40n , long. 78°53 1 25", at-head of Niagara River at Buffalo. Flow 

computed by means of several U. S. Lake Survey gages on river.

Drainage area.- 263,500 square miles.

Records available.- January 1905 to September 1945 (prior to October 1935, monthly discnarge only).

Average discharge.- 41 years (October 1904 to September 1945), 191,000 second-feet (not 

including aiversions from Lakes Michigan and Erie).

Extremes.- Maximum dally discharge during year, 241,000 second-feet May 22; minimum dally, 

137,OCX) second-feet Jan. 7.

1905-45:- Maximum monthly mean discharge, 242,000 second-feet May 1929; minimum 

monthly, 117,000 second-feet February 1936.

Remarks.- Records do not Include flow diverted from Lake Michigan by Chicago Sanitary & 

Ship Canal -and from Lake Erie by Welland Canal in Ontario, and Black Rock and New York 

State Barge (old Erie) Canals at Buffalo. Daily discharge of Niagara River computed 

from gage height at Buffalo and fall from Buffalo to Black Rock. As this reach Is 

occasionally partly blocked by Ice, all winter flows have been compared with daily 

flows computed from the Canadian gage at Morrison Street, corrected for diversion 

through Queenston power plant. The latter figures have been used whenever comparison 

indicated obstruction by Ice In upper river.

Cooperation.- Records of dally discharge furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Hote.- Terminal water-surface elevation for year ending Dec. 31, 1944, was 

2.89 feet "lower than that of preceding year, corresponding to a decrease in 

contents of 84,540,718 cubic feet or S178'.481 second-foot days. This adjustment applied to above, gives a mean for year of 9.651 second-feet, O.764 

second-foot per square mile, and 10.405 Inches runoff from drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation for year ending Sept. 30, 1945, was 2.10 

feet higher than that of preceding year, correspqnding to an increase in 

contents of 65,447,756 cubic feet or 754.549 second-foot days. This adjustment applied to above, gives a mean for year of 16.755 second-feet, 1.328 

second-feet per square mile, and 18.030 Inches" runoff from drainage area.

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.A., Sept. 50, 1945; eastern standard 

time thereafter. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'00", long. 76"30*25", at lock Win-Oswego, 

Oswego County, three-quarters of a mile upstream from mouth. Datisa^of gage-is 246.00 

feet above mean sea level (New York State Barge Canal datum), , ' '

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Records available.- November 1933 to September 1945. April 1897 to December 1901, and, of 

doubtful accuracy, October 1927 to September 1928 at High Dam, about three-quarters of 

a mile upstream. , .

Average discharge.- 11 years (1934-45), 6,376 second-feet.

Extremes..- mxlmum discharge during year, 23,40.0 second-feet Mar. 26 (gage height, 10.34 feet},'1 Includes mean daily discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 30 second-feet 

(regulated) Nov. 6 (gage height, 1.08 feet); minimum daily discharge, 906 second-feet 

Nov. 12.

1933-45: Maximum discharge, 37,500 a«cond-feet Mar. 28, 1936, 'Includes mean dally 

discharge of canals; maximum gage height, 13.46 feet Apr. 10, 1940; minimum discharge

Remarks.- Records exoellenj; except those for periods of backwater frpm Lake Ontario or 

doubtful gage-height record, which are good. This record represents total discharge at 

Oswego and Includes flow in Hydraulic and Barge Canals. A large amount of natural 

storage and some artificial regulation is afforded by the many large lakes and the . 

Barge Canal system In river basin. Large diurnal fluctuations at low ajid medium flow 

caused by power plants above station. Oswegd River Basin receives water from'Erie 

division of Barge Canal through lock 32 near Plttsford. ^rnall dlvsrslon from basin is 

occasionally ma'de from tributary streams through summit level of Barge Canal at New 

London into-Mohawk River Basin. During part of year entire flow from 45 square miles 

of drainage area of Mud Creek may be diverted from Chemung River Basin Into Lake Keuka 

in Oswego River Basin. Nearly all of flow from 15.7 square miles of the Tloughnioga 

River Basin may be diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Qswego River Basin.
