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, 1932.

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 public lands and examinatior of the 

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

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, anc1 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 aFected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,590 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1932, 2,790 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 we^e also collected 

in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water power in many sections of the country and will be 

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

DEFINITION OF TERMS

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

associated with a certain class of work. These termr 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: in 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 «,s 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 time and area.

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

if all the water flowing from it in a given period we^e 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 feet, 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.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation", an abbreviation for tl ^ 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 gfre which determines the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPL.ANATIOJ8>QF DATA

The data presented in this repor {,( qoyjjrtlie year beginning October 

1, 1931, and ending September 30,^1932. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or 

in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this 

stored water 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 run-off for the year beginning October 1 is practically 

all derived from precipitation within that year.

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

and staff gages, cable, and car.

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of 

stage, measurements of discharge, and general information used to 

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 G^ain gag^pr 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
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 5

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.

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 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, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and 

minimum recorded discharges, and the accuracy of the records. The 

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent the 

crest discharge unless a water-stage recorder was in operation or a nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.

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 waterstage 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 at regular intervals 

during 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^ mflow, and interpretation of 

records.
PUBLICATIONS 5

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that 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 run-off in inches may b^ 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 tables of monthly discharge give a general idea of the flow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed etudies 

of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, howeve^, 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-stations 

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 srbjects 

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:

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

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

Mississippi River).

3. Ohio River Basin.

4. St. Lawrence River Basin.

8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 5

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extends 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 tl Q. 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 

1932. 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 for 1910-20 for any sts.tion 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.
