SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NORTH ATLANTIC 

SLOPE DRAINAGE BASINS, 1927

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 State^ during 

the year ending September 30, 1927.

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 tl «i Geological Survey and the classification of 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 assuring in 

collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the f rst kind 

are made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on pages 9 and 10.

Measurements of stream flow have % been made at about 5,330 

pouits in the United States and also at many points in Alrska and 

the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1927, 1,750 gaging stations were

being maintained by the Geological Survey and tl °, cooperating 

organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were 

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

collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, 

river profiles, and water power in many sections of tH 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 which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms nay 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 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 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 YTere uniformly 

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth in inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, ir 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 defned:

"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. It should be noted that the 

control may not be the same section or sections at all stages.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 1, 1926, and ending September 30, 1927. At the beginning of 

January in most parts of the United States much of the precipita-
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

tion in 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.

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 gage or chain gage, or from a water-stage 

recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Meas-

. Typical gaging station

urements of discharge are made with a current meter. The general 

methods are outlined in standard textbooks on the measurements 

of river discharge. A typical gaging station, equipped with waterstage recorder and measuring cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage 

height to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is determined.

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
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1927, PART I

minimum recorded stages, 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, 

unless 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 

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

are accurate within 5 per cent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," 

within 15 per cent; and "poor," 20 per cent 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 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 artifical 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. All figures
PUBLICATIONS 5

representing "second-feet per square mile" and "run-off ir inches" 

published by the Geological Survey in earlier reports should be used 

with caution because of possible inherent but unknown sources of 

error.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated area^1 of the 

United States are located 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 b^low the 

stations must be satisfied first.

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.

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 investigations of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, 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 I. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John River to York River).

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (Jamer* River tothe Mississippi).

III. Ohio River Basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River Basin.

V. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado River Basin. 

X. The Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California.

XII. North Pacific slope basins, in three parts:

A, Pacific slope basins in Washington and upper Columbia River Basin.

B, Snake River Basin.

C, Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower Columbia River Basin.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extend over a series of years and miscellaneous measurements at 

many points other than regular gaging stations have been made 

each year. 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, tte numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 

1927. The data for any particular station will be found in the 

reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. 

For example, data from 1902 to 1922 for any station in the area 

covered by Part III are published in Water-Supply Papers 83, 98, 

128, 169, 205, 243, 263, 283, 303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 473, 

503, 523, and 543, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin 

for those years. Results of miscellaneous measurements are published 

by drainage basins.

92 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1927, PART 1

GLENS FAILS FEEDER AT GLENS FALLS, N. Y.

LOCATION. Slope station at upper end of feeder canal at Glens Falls, Warren 

County. Three water-stage recorders determine slope from point of diversion from Hudson River at feeder dam to a point near first lock (No. 13) 

below.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 6 to September 30, 1927. Discharge measurements 

only from 1895 to 1918.

REMARKS. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy formula, variations in 

coefficient "C" throughout the season being computed from current-meter 

measurements. Records generally good except those for September 9 and 

25-30, which are fair. Spillways automatically divert excess flow between 

gages; also some leakage. Flow regulated by demands of Champlain Canal 

and for floating logs.

HUDSON RIVER BASIN 95

MOHAWK RIVER AT COHOES, N. 7.

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder 50 feet below School Street plant of Cohoes 

Power & Light Corporation at Cohoes, Albany County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 3,500 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October, 1925, to September, 1927, at present location. 

From December, 1917, to July, 1925, at Crescent Dam, 2 miles upstream. 

From July to October, 1925, records of discharge were determined from gage 

heights above Cohoes Power & Light Corporation dam in conjunction with 

operating records at School Street plant. These records are directly comparable with records at present location.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 54,800 second-feet March 15 

(gage height, 16.8 feet); minimum, 35 second-feet October 17 (gage height, 

4.03 feet).

1925-1927: Maximum discharge, that of March 15, 1927; minimum, 31 

second-feet September 19, 1926 (gage height, 3.97 feet).

REMARKS. Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, December 12 

to January 10, January 15, and 18-21, or of no record, January 11-14, 16, 

17, March 4 and 5, and those for extremely low stages, which are good. Diversions at Crescent Dam through Lock No. 6 for use in Barge Canal during 

navigation seasons and for municipal supply just above station, some of 

which is returned to river above measuring section. Considerable amount 

of water is received into Delta Reservoir from Black River Basin through 

Black River Canal (flowing south) and Lansing Kill, through feeders from 

the upper Chenango drainage area, and during navigation season from 

Oswego Basin through the summit level of the Barge Canal, which partly 

compensate for diversions. Flow partly regulated by storage reservoirs 

above station.
