SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1936

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, 1936. The 

work was begun In 1888 in connection with special studies relating to irrigation. 

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,200 points In the United States 

and also at many points In Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1936, 3,160 

gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating 

organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points.

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

eitner 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 7.

DEFINITION OF TERJE

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 the 

rate of discharge of water flowing In a channel when the cross-sectional area Is 1 square 

foot and the average velocity is 1 foot per second*

"Second-feet per square mile" Is the average numoer 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 time 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 in inches.

An "acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic teet, is the quantity required to cover an 

acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used In connection with storage for 

irrigation.

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

24 hours.

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

discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the 

gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

of discharge, and general Informacion used to supplement tu« gage heights and discharge 

measurements In determining the dally flow. Tho records of stage are obtained either
2 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

from direct readings on a nonreoording 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. Typical gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge 

measurements. The application of the daily gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally 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 usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of the stream* 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose daily discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, its latitude and longitude 

determined from the beet 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 for stations for which there are 10 or 

more complete years of record. Information under "Extremes" gives the maximum discharge 

and gage height; the minimum disbar .je If there is little or no regulation; the minimum 

daily discharge if there Is ext ^Ive regulation, and also the minimum discharge if useful; and the minimum gage heigh, except when 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 represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualified.

The table of daily discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecording gages, 

the discharge in second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readings of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for intervals of the day or by using the discharge integrator, 

an instrument for obtaining the 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 "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the discharge given In the table of daily 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.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow .data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation 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 daily records are accurate within

5 percent; "good", within 10 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 noncontributlng 

districts In the measured drainage area, by lack of Information concerning water diverted 

for Irrigation or ether 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 .srrors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas In which the annual 

rainfall Is less than 20 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 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 gives a general Idea of the flow at the station. Ths 

table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies of the variation In flow. It 

should be borne In mind, howevei, that the observations In each succeeding year may be 

expected to throw new light on aata previously published, and that greater degrees of refinement In computations and records may be warranted with Increased data and use of Improved equipment.

PUBLICATIONS 5

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 nade 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 1936. The data for any particular station 

will, In general, 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. Special papers 

containing comnllatlon of records previously published and also records not contained In 

the annual series of water-supply papers have been published for some States and drainage 

basins. For exanrole, stream-flow records for tne New-Kanawha River Basin In part 3 from 

1895 to 1920 are contained in Water-supply Paper 536.

discharge measurement, and records for stations downstream. Discharge for Dec. 16, 17, 

July 3-6 computed on basis of records for stations downstream. Discharge for high 

stages determined from graphs based on twice-daily gage readings. Some regulation at 

low stages from power operations upstream.

16 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River at Louisville, Ky.

Location.- Lower staff gage at Lock and Dam 41, lat. 38°16'40", long. 85°47'39", at 

Louisville, 23 miles above Salt River. Cero of gage is 371.58 feet above mean sea 

level (general adjustment of 1929). Auxiliary gage for slope-method computations is 

the upper staff gage at Lock and Dam 43, 26.2 miles downstream.

Drainage area.- 91,200 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 622,000 second-fset Mar. 28, 29; maximum gage 

height, 65.6 feet Mar. 29; minimum daily discharge, 6,150 second-feet Sept. 29.

Remarks.- Records good above and fair below 10,000 second-feet. Discnarge below 45,000 

second-feet, gage height 15.0 feet, computed from records of flow through power-house 

and dam at Dam 41; discharge for stages 15.0 to 30.0 feet computed by slope method; 

discharge for stages above 30.0 feet computed from loop rating curves. Flow during 

low stages regulated by operation of power plant at Dam 41. Gage-height records 

furnished and most of discharge measurements made by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. 

Records February to April are a revision of those published In Water-supply Paper 800, 

based on further study of discharge measurements and effects of slope.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 17

Ohio River at Metropolis, 111.

Location.- Water-stage recorders located at Paducah, Ky. , and Joppa and Metropolis, 111.,

and staff gages at navigation dams 52 and 53 are operated In order to obtain sufficient

gage-height data to permit computation of discharge at Metropolis, which Is In lat.

37°9', long. 88°44'. Most Important gage Is at foot of Jefferson Street In Paducah,

Ky., a quarter of a mile below Tennessee River. Zero of this gage Is 286.23 feet

above mean sea level (general adjustment of 1929). 

Drainage area.- 203,000 square miles. 

Records available.- January 1934 to September 1936 in reports of U. S. Geological Survey; since January 1928 in reports of Mississippi River Commission.

Daily gage heights for gage at Paducah have been published In reports of

records, one discharge measurement, and records for stations In adjacent drainage 

areas. Discharge for Jan. 5, 6, Mar. 19-21, Apr. 12 computed on basis of records 

for stations In adjacent drainage areas. Discharge for high stages determined from 

graphs based on twice-daily gage readings. Slight diurnal regulation at low stages 

from power operations upstream.

 eTTect and of missing gage-height record, which are fair. Subsequent to that date 

records are fair except those below 15 second-feet, which are poor. Records for 

periods of Ice effect and missing gage heights were computed by comparison with 

other stations In the drainage basin and cllmatologlcal data. Records collected by 

West Virginia Power & Transmission Co. under general supervision of the Geological 

Survey, in connection with a Federal Power Commission project.

Revised records 1924-27 supersede those published In previous water-supply

Average discharge.- 14 years (1920-29, 1931-36), 2,901 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 100,000 second-feet, determined by slopearea method, Mar. 18 (gage height, 30.65 feet, from floodmarks); minimum observed, 244 second-feet July 22 (gage height, 2.37 feet); minimum daily discharge, 

271 second-feet July 22.

1915-29, 1931-36: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 18, 1936; minimum gage 

height, 1.96 feet July 10, 1918 (discharge not determined).

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 22 to Jan. 9, 

Jan. 22 to Feb. 27, which are poor and were computed-on basis of gage heights, 

weather records, one discharge measurement, and records for station at Connellsvllle. Discharge for high stages determined from graphs based on twice-daily 

gage readings. Diurnal regulation from operation of hydroelectric plants upstream.

1931 to September 1936 in reports of U. S. Geological Survey; August 1913 to September 1936 in reports of Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1920-36), 610 second-feet.

Kxtremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 35,800 second-feet, determined by slope-area 

method, Mar. 17 (gage height, 16.4 feet, from floodnark); minimum, 11 second-feet 

July £3 (gage height, 1.46 feet).

1913-36: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 17, 1936; minimum, 11 second-feet Aug. 

13, 1930, July 23, 1936.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 3-8, Dec. 23 to 

Jan. 3, Jan. k;9 to Feb. 25, which are poor and were computed on basis of gage 

heights, weather records, one discharge measurement, and records for stations in 

adjacent drainage areas. Discharge for high stages determined from graphs based 

on twice-daily gage readings. Slight regulation at low stages from power operations upstream.

Rating tables, water year 1935-36 except periods of ice effect (gage heights, in feet, and

Flood of 1878 reached a stage of about 40 feet.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of Ice effect, Dec. 21 to Jan. 3,

 Jan. 24 to Feb. 14, which are fair and were computed on basis of gage-height graph, 

weather records, and records for station at Alllsonla and other stations on New 

River. Flow regulated at all but high stages by operation of power plants at Buck 

and Byllesby, 73 miles upstream.
