SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1941

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, 1941. The work was begun in 1888 in connection with 

special studies relating to irrigation. Measurenents of the flow of streams and of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 9,120 gaging stations 

in the United States and also at many gaging stations in Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1941, 

4,850 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurenents were made 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 on pages 10 and 11.

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 the 

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

whose average velocity is 1 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 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 

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

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot" is the quantity of water required to cover an acre 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 run-off 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.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

discharge, and general information used to supplement the records of stage and discharge

1
2 EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

direct readings on a nonrecordlng 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 structures in use at gaging stations are shown on plate 1.

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

dally 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 "shlfting-control method," in which correction factors based on Individual discharge measurements are fasea In applying the gage heights to the rating tables.

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 the slope or fail 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 for them the rate of 

change of stage is used as a factor in the determination of disc-harge.

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the 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 the 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. The days 

included in the periods of ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are indicated in the table by symbols referring to footnotes.

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 daily discharge of 

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

tables are published for all stations except those at which the daily 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 gives the type of gage, its latitude and longitude 

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 for 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 daily discharge If there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge If useful); and the 

minimum gage height (unless it is of no importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage

EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

recorder or a nonrecordlng 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 stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 square miles or if the peak 

discharges usually exceed the corresponding mean discharges for the day by less than 10 

percent.

For stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of daily discharge gives 

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

of twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the dally mean discharge is determined from 

gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice daily or oftener, as stated 

in the station description. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except those 

on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge corresponding to the daily mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the 

daily mean gage height may not indicate the true daily mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for obtaining the daily mean discharge from a continuous gage-height 

graph and containing as an essential element a curve representing the stage-discharge 

relation at the station.

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

for each month of the figures given in the table of daily discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the 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 daily discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow 

in cubic feet per second during the month.

For most gaging stations on lakes'and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For a few of the 

more important lakes and reservoirs a table showing dally contents is given. A skeleton 

table of capacity at given stages is usually elven in the first report in which data for 

a station are published but is omitted from succeeding reports.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

5 percent; "good," within 10 percent; "fair," within 15 percent; and "poor," within 20 or 

a higher percent.

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 evapora-, 

tion due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "secondfeet per square mile" and "run-off in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion 

records are included Indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless
4 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

'Satisfactory adjustments can be made for changes in contents of reservoirs or for other 

changes Incident to use and control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and run-off 

in Inches are also omitted if the drainage area includes large noncontributing areas or 

If the average annual rainfall over the drainage area 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 streans, 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 summary 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 nay 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.

which the 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, 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 measurements" 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. 6), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

stations In the area covered by that report. Gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of record have been collected are represented. These summaries are available 

also as separate reprints.

From tine to time reports have bsen published that are compilations of records for 

various areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. These reports contain records 

previously published (some &f which have been revised), as well as some records not contained In the annual series of water-supply papers. The following table gives the numbers and titles of these reports, arranged In alphabetical order by States and drainage 

basins.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 21

Ohio River at Bellaire, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°59'05", long. 80°44'20", in sec. 28, T. 2 N., 

R. 2 W., 1.9 miles downstream from Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge at Bellaire, Belmont County, and at river mile 96.4. Datum of gage is 608.0 feet above mean sea level 

(unadjusted). Prior to Mar. 15, 1941. staff gage at lock 13, 0.3 mile upstream, at 

datum 5.2 feet lower. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, 4.0 miles downstream, at datum ' 

0.1 foot higher.

Drainage area.- 25,170 square miles.

Records available.- March 1939 to March 1941 (fragmentary), April to September 1941.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 242,000 second-feet June 6; maximum gage height, 

31.00 feet June 6; minimum discharge not determined.

1939-41: Maximum discharge, 321,000 second-feet Apr. 21, 1940; maximum gage height, 

40.4 feet, present site and datum, Apr. 21, 1940; minimum discharge not determined.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 10,000 second-feet and those for period of no 

gage-height record, which are fair. Discharge computed by using fall as determined 

by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor. Prior to Mar. 15, base gage read 

hourly; discharge computed by using fall as determined by once-daily reading of 

auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Discharge less than 25,000 second-feet on days 

when no figures are given. Flow partly regulated during low flow by locks, dams, 

and reservoirs above station.

Cooperation.- Gage readings at lock 13 and results of 14 discharge measurements furnished 

by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Discharge, In second-feet, water year October 1940 to September 1941

Highway 35 at Point Pleasant, W. Va., 0.4 mile upstream from Kanawha River and 14.1 

miles upstream from Gallipolis lock and dam. Datum of gage is 514.10 feet above mean 

sea level, Sandy Hook datum (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary 

water-stage recorder, lat. 38°41'30", long. 82°11'05", at old lock 26, 0.7 mile upstream from Gallipolis lock and dam, 13 miles downstream from Kanawha River, and 13.4 

miles downstream from the base gage. Datum of gage is 505.22 feet above mean sea 

level, Sandy Hook datum (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 52,760 square miles.

Records available.- March 1940 to September 1941.

Extremes.- 1940: Maximum discharge during March to September, 473,000 second-feet Apr. 22; 

maximum gage height, 51.38 feet Apr. 23; minimum discharge not determined but less than 

13,200 second-feet; minimum gage height, 22.70 feet June 28.

1940-41: Maximum discharge during water year, 236,000 second-feet June 7 (gage 

height, 31.13 feet); maximum gage height, 31.20 feet June 7; minimum discharge not 

determined but less than 7,500 second-feet; minimum gage height, 23.26 feet Sept. 13.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 30,000 second-feet, which are fair. Discharge 

computed on the basis of fall-stage-discharge relation between gages at Point Pleasant 

and old lock 26 except as noted in dally-table.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and results of 29 discharge measurements furnished by 

Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1941 (fragmentary prior to October 1939).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 253,000 second-feet June 8; maxinum 

gage height observed, 37.9 feet June 8; minimum daily discharge determined, 6,070 

second-feet Sept. 25 but may have been less during October.

1938-41: Maximum discharge observed, 544,000 second-feet Feb. 5, 1939 (gage height, 

60.6 feet); minimum daily discharge determined, 4,300 second-feet Oct. 19, 1939. 

Maximum stage known, 73.6 feet Jan. 27, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 30,000 second-feet and for Aug. 19, which are 

poor. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by four readings daily of auxiliary staff gage during open-river periods, and hourly readings during slack-water 

periods except as noted in daily table. Base gage read four times daily during openriver periods, and hourly during slack-water periods.

Cooperation.- Records collected and prepared in cooperation with Corps of Engineers, 

u. s. Army.

28 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River near Maysville, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage, lat. 38°38'10", long. 

83U42'15", at lock and dam 33, 2.2 miles downstream from Cabin Creek and 3.5 miles 

upstream from Maysville, Mason County. Datum of gage is 452.57 feet above mean sea 

level, Ohio River datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff 

gage at lock and dam 34, 29.0 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage is 445.6 

feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. Water-stage recorders installed July 17, 

1941.

Drainage area.- 70,130 square miles at dam 33 (authority, U. S. Weather Bureau). 

Records available.- January 1939 to September 1941 (fragmentary prior to October 1940).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 253,000 second-feet June 8; maximum 

gage height observed, 35.8 feet June 8.

1939-41: Maximum discharge observed, 556,000 second-feet Apr. 23, 1940; maximum 

gage height observed, 59.5 feet Apr. 24, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 75.3 feet Jan, 27, 1937; maximum discharge, 820,000 secondfeet (estimated) Jan. 27, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those between 12,000 and 20,000 second-feet, which are

fair, and those below 12,000 second-feet and for periods of inadequate or no gage-height 

record, which are poor. Discharge computed during open river periods by using fall as 

determined by four readings daily of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Discharge computed for slackwater after July 17 using fall as determined by auxiliary recorder as 

a factor. Base staff gage read four times daily.

Cooperation.- Records collected and prepared in cooperation with Corps of Engineers, 

u. S. Army.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 29

Ohio River at Cincinnati, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°05'35", long. 84°31'25", at Front and Rose 

streets, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, 1.0 mile downstream from Licking River and 1.2 

miles upstream from Mill Creek. Datum of gage is 428-8 feet above mean sea level, 

Ohio River datum. Auxiliary staff gage, at dam 37, 12.0 miles downstream. Datum of 

auxiliary gage is 425.3 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. During slackwater periods discharge determined from water-stage recorder at Southern Railway 

bridge, 1.1 miles downstream from upper gage, with auxiliary water-stage recorder 10.6 

miles downstream, 0.3 mile upstream from dam 37. Datum of each gage is 425.30 feet 

above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 76,580 square miles, at Cincinnati, including that of Licking River 

( authority, U. S. Weather Bureau).

Records available.- December 1936 to March 1937, October 1937 to September 1941 (fragmentary for some years).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 242,000 second-feet June 9; maximum gage height, 

35.62 feet June 9; minimum daily discharge determined, 7,860 second-feet Sept. 26, but 

may have been less during October.

1936-41: Maximum discharge, 894,000 second-feet Jan. 26, 1937; maximum gage height, 

78.8 feet Jan. 25, 26, 1937, site and datum then in use.

Remarks.- Records good except those between 12,000 and 20,000 second-feet, which are fair, 

and those below 12,000 second-feet, for periods Oct. 1 to Nov. 3 and Nov. 6-26 and for 

periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Discharge above 50,000 second-feet 

computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary staff gage read four times a day as 

a factor. Discharge for slackwater periods (below 50,000 second-feet) computed from 

gage heights from the water-stage recorder at Southern Railway bridge by using fall 

as determined by the auxiliary water-stage recorder, 0.3 mile upstream from dam 37, 

as a factor except as noted in daily table.

Cooperation.- Records collected and prepared in cooperation with Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army.

Ohio River at Metropolis, 111.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. SVOS'Sl", long. 88°44'27", at Paducah & Illinois 

Railroad bridge, at Metropolis, Massac County, 9& miles downstream from Tennessee 

River and 37 miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 276.27 feet above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, lat. 370 12'33", long. 88°02'08", 

0.5 mile upstream from dam 53, 3 miles southwest of Grand Chain, Pulaski County, and 

18 miles downstream from Metropolis. Datum of auxiliary gage is 276.30 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 203,000 square miles at Metropolis (authority, Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army;.

Records available.- January 1934 to September 1941. Since December 1881 (occasional discharge measurements at Paducah or Metropolis), in reports of Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army, and of Mississippi River Commission.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 309,000 second-feet Apr. 12, 13, 14, June 14; 

maximum gage height, 28.97 feet June 15; minimum daily discharge, 25,500 second-feet 

Sept. 26.

1934-41: Maximum discharge, 1,780,000 second-feet Feb. 1, 1937 (total discharge, 

including overflow through Bay Creek and Cache River Valleys, 1,850,000 second-feet); 

maximum gage height, 66.60 feet Feb. 2, 1937; minimum daily discharge, 23,700 secondfeet Nov. 3, 1938.

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow controlled by navigation dams above and below 

Metropolis except during periods of high water when dams are lowered and open-river 

conditions prevail.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with, and results of 22 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

MONONGAHELA RIVER BASIN 87

West Fork River at Butcherville, W. Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°05'25", long. 80°28'05", at Butcherville, Lewis 

County, 0.5 mile upstream from Freemans Creek, 3,500 feet downstream from bridge on 

Weston-Clarksburg interurban electric railway, and 3 miles north of Weston. Datum of 

gage is 983.00 feet above mean sea level (State Road Commission bench mark).

Drainage area.- 181 square miles.

Records available.- April 1915 to September 1941.

Average discharge.- 26 years, 306 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,760 second-feet Aug. 27 (gage height, 17.87 

reet); minimum, 1.3 second-foot Aug. 10, 11, 14, 15 (gage height, 10.42 feet).

1915-41: Maximum discharge observed, 9,800 second-feet Mar. 13, 1918, Jan. 2, 

1919 (gage height, 24.0 feet, at site then in use, present datum); no flow at times 

during October 1919, September, October, December, 1922, caused by either diversion or 

pondage at small dams upstream.

Maximum stage known, 27 feet in 1888 at site 3.500 feet upstream, from information 

by local residents (discharge, 12,600 second-feet). The stage on that date may have 

been affected by backwater from a dam which has since been washed out.

Remarks.- Records good.

Average discharge.- 28 years (1909-17, 1921-41), 440 second-feet.

Extremes.- 1938-39: Maximum discharge during water year, 10,400 second-feet Feb. 3 

(gage height, 12.85 feet), from rating curve extended above 7,000 second-feet by 

velocity-area studies; minimum, 2.1 second-feet Sept. 29 (gage height, 2.82 feet).

1939-40: Maximum discharge during water year, 8,700 second-feet July 1 (gage 

height, 12.11 feet), from rating curve extended above 7,000 second-feet by velocityarea studies; minimum, 4.0 second-feet Oct. 20 and 21 (gage height, 3.08 feet).

MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN 143

Reservoirs in Muskingum River Basin, Ohio

During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, constructed 14 dams 

on the Muskingum River and tributaries for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. 

The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but at 11 of them 

a conservation pool is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and industrial 

uses, to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low flow, and for 

recreational and wild-life conservation purposes.

There are no gates on spillways of the dams, except at Senacaville. All regulation 

is done by gates in tunnels through the dams, except at Beach City and Charles Mill, 

where there are also by-pass gates in the conservation weir; at Senacaville, regulation 

at higher stages can be assisted by operation of lli-foot taintor gates on spillway.

The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level is.1,539,000 acre-feet, of 

which 211,400 acre-feet (revised) is retained in the conservation pools.

The Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, assumed operation of the reservoirs on Aug. 13, 

1939, and furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used to compute data contained 

herein.

Revisions.- Figures published in Water-Supply Paper 893, for water year 1939-40, have 

been revised on basis of capacity curves' based on later surveys. The revision is large 

for some of the lower values but is small for higher values. All figures have been 

revised and are published herein, even though some differ but little from figures previously published.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of records for station at Ivanhoe.
202 KANAWHA RIVER BASIN

New River at Radford, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08', long. 80°34', at Radford, Montgomery 

County, 2,000 feet downstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 11, 5 miles downstream 

from Little River, and 5i miles downstream from Claytor Dam. Datum of gage Is 

1,712.36 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 2,748 square miles.

Records available.- August 1939 to September 1941 In reports of U. S. Geological Survey. 

October 1907 to September 1915 (revised records) In Bulletin 31, Virginia Geological 

Survey. August 1898 to September 1907 previously published In reports of U. S. 

Geological Survey and Bulletins 3 and 10 of the Virginia Geological Survey, believed 

to be unreliable because of doubtful gage-height record. Gage-height records collected at same site since 1895, but at different datum, are contained In reports of 

U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1907-15, 1939-41) 3,795 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 13,200 second-feet Dec. 29 (gage height, 4.96 

feet); minimum, 364 second-feet June 1 (gage height, 1.33 feet); minimum dally, 612 

second-feet June 1.

1907-15, 1939-41: Maximum discharge, 218,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage 

height, 35.96 feet), from rating curve extended above 73,000 second-feet on basis of 

records for other stations on New River and flow over Claytor Dam (computed by 

Appalachian Electric Power Co.); minimum, that of June 1, 1941.

Floods of Sept. 15, 1878, and July 16, 1916, reached stages of 37.4 and 35.7 

feet, respectively, at site and datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports 

of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of no gage-height record, which 

are fair. Flow regulated by power plant and storage at Claytor Reservoir (capacity, 

206,000 acre-feet). Some additional regulation at low flow by dam and power plant 

on Little River half a mile above mouth.

264 SCIOTO RIVER BASIN

Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54 I 3411 , long. 83°00 I 33'1 , at sewage-treatment 

works of city of Columbus, Franklin County, 0.4 mile downstream from highway bridge 

on Frank Road. Datum of gage is 680.40 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. Drainage area.- 1,624 square miles.

Records available.- April 1921 to September 1941.

Average discharge.- 20 years, 1,317 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 10,100 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 15.1 

feet); minimum, 50 second-feet Oct. 6 (gage height, 5.78 feet).

1921-41: Maximum discharge, 39,600 second-feet Mar. 21, 1927 (gage height, 24.7 

feet); minimum, 42 second-feet Sept. 6, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 85.9 feet Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 138,000 second-feet, estimated by Franklin County Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable with 

present gage heights because of subsequent channel improvement and levee construction.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of ice effect, which are fair. Flow regulated by O'Shaughnessy and Griggs Reservoirs for municipal supply of city of Columbus. 

(See p. 268.) Diversion for water supply made several miles above gage; sewage return 

flow normally discharged at gage.

Rating table, water year 1940-41, except period of Ice effect (gage height,

in feet, and discharge, in second-feet) 

(Shifting-control method used Oct. 1 to Nov. 27, June 25 to Sept. 30)

356 GREEN RIVER BASIN

Rough River near Falls of Rough, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°37', long. 86°30', 2.6 miles downstream from 

North Fork, 3i miles northeast of village of Falls of Rough, Grayson County, 4.1 miles 

upstream from Rock Lick Greek, and 7.1 miles (revised) upstream from mill dam. Datum 

of gage is 429.20 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary gage used for 

slope rating is staff gage 100 feet upstream from mill dam at Falls of Rough and 7.1 

miles downstream from base gage. Datum of auxiliary gage is 368.01 feet above mean sea 

level,- datum of 1929. Low-water gage, water-stage recorder at Falls of Rough, 600 feet 

upstream from Pleasant Run, 1,200 feet downstream from mill dam and 7.4 miles (revised) 

downstream from base gage. Datum of gage is 418.15 feet above mean sea level, datum 

of 1929. Prior to June 27, 1941, staff gage at same site but at datum 1.0 foot higher.

Drainage area.- 449 square miles, excluding that of Rock Lick Greek. 

Records available.- January 1940 to September 1941.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,800 second-feet Jan. 25; maximum gage height 

11.22 feet Jan. 25; minimum daily discharge, 9.1 second-feet Sept. 21.

1940-41: Maximum discharge, 8,080 second-feet Apr. 20, 1940 (gage height, 25.7 

feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum daily, that of Sept. 21, 1941.

Remarks.- Records good except those prior to July 11, those for regulated days, and those 

for period of no gage-height record, which are poor. Low-water records include flow of 

Rock Lick Greek and, because of difference in drainage areas, figures of per square 

mile run-off were not computed. Low-water gage read twice daily prior to June 27 

Auxiliary staff gage read twice daily.

Cooperation.- Results of two discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S 

Army.

Drainage area.-10,700 square miles. 

Kecoras available.- October 1922 to September 1941. 

Average aiscnargeT- 19 years, 17,010 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 78,000 second-feet Apr. 7; maximum gage

neignt, 29.45 feet Apr. 7; minimum discharge, 304 second-feet Oct. 29 (gage height,

o 09 ieet) 

1922-41: Maximum discharge, 186,000 second-feet Dec. 30, 1926; maximum gage

height, 59.80 Dec. 30, 1926, from graph based on gage readings: minimum discharge,

that of Oct. 29, 1940. 

Remarks.- Records excellent except those below 5,000 second-feet, which are good, and

tnose for periods of open valves at dam 7, which are poor. Some diurnal, fluctuation

at low flow by power plant on Caney Fork.

Rating tables, water year 1940-41, except periods computed using rate of chang 

of stage as a factor (gage height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)

Cumberland River at Clarksville, Term.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 36°31'20n , long. 87°22'40n , at Louisville & Nashville Railroad Dridge at Clarksville, Montgomery County, li miles upstream from Red River and 

 19 miles upstream from lock and dam C. Datum of gage is 330.86 feet above mean sea

level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary staff gage at lock and dam C, 19 miles downstream.

Datum of auxiliary gage is 336.30 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum. 

Drainage area.- 16,000 square miles, Including that of Red River. 

Kecoras avaiiaDle.- October 1922 to September 1923 (gage heights only) and October 1924

to September 1941 in reports of Geological Survey. October 1922 to September 1924

flow of Red River.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1924-41), 24,100 second-feet, 

extremes.- naximum discharge during year, 74,200 second-feet Apr. 9 (gage height, 33.0

reet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum dally observed, 359 second-feet

Oct. 24, caused by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; minimum gage height

observed, 15.0 feet May 14, Aug. 19.

1924-41: Maximum discharge, 290,000 second-feet Jan. 24, 1937; 'maximum gage

minimum observed, 2.5 second-feet Sept. 19, 22, 23 (gage height, 0.44 foot).

1940-41: Maximum discharge during water year, 1,930 second-feet Apr. 4 (gage height, 

13.11 feet); minimum observed, 2.1 second-feet Oct. 22 (gage height, 0.42 foot). 

Flood In February 1939 reached a stage of 18.5 feet, from floodmark. 

Flood In March 1929 reached a stage about 1 foot higher than that of February 1939.

Remarks.- Records fair prior to Dec. 11 and good thereafter, except those for periods of 

indefinite stage-discharge relation, doubtful gage record, or Ice effect, which are 

poor. Staff-gage read twice dally.

Cooperation.- Results of 18 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers,

Drainage area.- 1,572 square miles.

Records available.- August 1938 to September 1941.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 16,500 second-feet July 7 (gage height, S.27 

feet); minimum, 872 second-feet Sept. 25, 30 (gage height, 3.94 feet).

1938-41: Maximum discharge, 71,200 second-feet Aug. 30, 1940 (gage height, 

15.94 feet), by computation of flow into Cheoah Reservoir below station; minimum, 

482 second-feet Jan. 3, 1940 (gage height, -8.62 feet), result of low temperature.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are 

rair. some diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by power plants above station. 

Some regulation by a headwater reservoir after Feb. 12, 1941. (See p.539 for 

change In contents of reservoir.)

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 541

Tuckasegee River at Bryson City, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°25'45", long. 83°27'10", 400 feet downstream from 

oriagn on State Highway 288 at Bryson City, Swain County, and half a mile downstream 

from Deep Creek. Datum of gage is 1,716.54 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, 

supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 655 square miles.

Kecoras available.- November 1897 to September 1941. November 1897 to September 1913

of Conservation and Development Bulletin 34.

Average discharge.- 43 years (1898-1941), 1,590 second-feet.

Kxtremes.- naximum discharge during year, 9,270 second-feet July 7 (gage height, 5.18 

reet); minimum, 208 second-feet Sept. 23, 24 (gage height, 0.69 foot): minimum dally, 

295 second-feet Sept. 24.

1897-1941: Maximum discharge, 61,600 second-feet Aug. 30, 1940 (gage height, H5.96 

feet), from rating curve extended above 25,000 second-feet on basis of logarithmic 

plotting and slope-area determination at gage height 15.96 feet; minimum, 27 secondfeet Sept. 10, 1925 (gage height, 0.48 foot); minimum daily, 31 second-feet Sept. 9, 

10, 1925, caused by filling of reservoir on Oconalufty River, or 186 second-feet 

Oct. 13, 1925, normal regulation.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 300 second-feet and those for periods of Incomplete gage-height record, which are fair. Some diurnal fluctuation caused by 

power plant above station. Flow regulated by headwater reservoir after Feb. 12, 

1941. (See p.539 for change In reservoir contents.)
