SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS, 1942

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, 1942. The work was begun in 1888 in connection with 

special studies relating to Irrigation. Measurements of the flow of streams and of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 9,400 gaging stations 

in the United States and also at many gaging stations in Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1942, . 

4,970 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating 

organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements 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 afrecte^; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 11.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units in which stream-flow data are presented in this report and other terns 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 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 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 runoff of 0.0372 inch from 1 square m'ile.

"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 

measurements in determining the daily 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 

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 

' 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 daily 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 in 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 the 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 for tnem 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 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 

or are given in a general note following the table.

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 runoff. 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 

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 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 daily mean discharge is determined from gageheight 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 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.

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 dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge and 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 hearted "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 some reservoirs 

a table showing daily 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 succeeding 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. This made February 9 a 33-hour day. Time prior to 2 a.n.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1942, PART 1

February 9 as given herein refers to standard time; time after 2 a.m. February 9 refers 

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

Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, published herein have been computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed 

on the basis of war time. The discharge given for February 9 Is the mean for 23 hours. 

The mean discharge and runoff for the month of February have been computed from the total 

second-foot-days for the month without adjustment for the fact that February 9 was a 

23-hour day. The small error resulting from this procedure has been disregarded.

ACCURACY OF. FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

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

a higher 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 "secondfeet 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 of reservoirs or for other changes 

Incident to use and control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and runoff In Inches 

are also omitted If the drainage area Includes large noncontrlbutlng 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 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 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.

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

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 7. 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, 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 t^iese 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. 7), 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.

Drainage area.- 178 square miles.

Records available.- October 1941 to September 1942. September 1908 to September 1919 

at site 5.5 miles downstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,420 second-feet Mar. 11 (gage height, 12.56

Ireet;; minimum, 2.6 second-feet Sept. 8, 9 (gage height, 1.23 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, 

which are fair. An artificial cut, for log driving, has been made through a low 

divide between Souadabscook Stream and Black Stream which enters Kenduskeag Stream 

1.8 miles above station. During high stages of Souadabscook Stream, part of its flow 

passes through the cut into Kenduskeag stream: at low stages of Souadabscook Stream, 

all flow continues down its own channel. On Mar. 9, due to an ice Jam, water was flow 

ing from Black Stream to Souadabscook Stream. On Mar. 12, after the ice went out, 

the flow from Souadabscook Stream to Black Stream was 189 second-feet.

* Capacities published for three years ending Sept. 30, 1941, are based on possible use of 7 foot 

drawdown from top of flashboards. Since only 4 feet of draft Is practical, the capacity table has 

been revised to Include only usable capacity. Reduce capacity figures published for three years 

ending Sept. 30, 1941, by 1,005,000,000 cubic feet and gage heights by 3.0 feet to bring them Into 

agreement with the gage height and capacltv Tallies In above table.

t Datum of gage Is 1.000 feet above mean sea level.

132 THAMES RIVER BASIN

Qulnebaug River at Putnam, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°54'30n , long. 71054'30n , at Putnam, Windham 

County, 600 feet downstream from Muddy Brook (Little River) and 3 miles downstream 

from French River.

Drainage area.- 331 square miles.

Records available.- December 1929 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 13 years, 561 second-feet.

ESctre: s.- mxlmum discharge during year. 4,430 second-feet mr. 9 (gage height, 9.19 

); minimum, 8.6 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 27 (gage height, 1.51 feet); minimum daily, 13 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26.

1929-42: mxlmum discharge, 20,900 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 19.45 

feet, from floodmarKs), by computation of flow over dam 1 mile upstream and over dam 

on Muddy Brook (Little River) 2 miles upstream from Its mouth; minimum, 8.5 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 26, 1935; minimum daily, 11 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 5, 12, 1930.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of Ice effect, which are fair. City 

of Putnam diverts less than one million gallons per day for municipal supply. Large 

diurnal fluctuation, particularly during low water, Is caused by many dams and 

reservoirs above station, largest of which is Lake Chaubunagungamaug with an estimated 

usable capacity of 207,000,000 cubic feet.

Hote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 6 to Mar. 29. No gage-height record Jan. 18- 

20, Jan. 22 to Feb. 9, Feb. 11-14, 21-28; discharge computed on basis of weather records, engineers' 

notes, and records for other stations in the Connecticut River Basin.

Time basisi Eastern standard time prior to 2 a.m., Feb. 9, 1942; eastern war time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 

Connecticut River near Dalton, N. H.

141

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°24'35", long. 71°43'00", 1,200 feet downstream 

from (Jam of Oilman Paper Co. and li miles downstream from Dalton, Coos County. Datum 

of gage Is 799.89 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 1,514 square miles.

Records available.- January 1935 to September 1942. March 1927 to September 1935 at 

site 10* miles downstream, published as Connecticut River at Waterford, Vt.

Average discharge.- 15 years (1927-42), 2,906 second-feet (adjusted to drainage area at 

present site and for change In reservoir contents).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 23,100 second-reet Apr. 27 (gage height, 18.64 

reet); minimum daily, 149 second-feet Sept. 13.

1935-42: Maximum discharge, 48,300 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage height, 25.6 

feet); minimum daily, about 80 second-feet Sept. 2, 1935.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,000 second-feet and those for periods of Ice 

effect, which are fair. Flow regulated by power plants and by First Connecticut and 

Second Connecticut Lakes and Lake Francis (see p.148 ), and other reservoirs, which 

have a combined usable capacity of about 8 1/3 billion cubic feet.

 from Enfield Dam and 1 mile downstream from Thompsonville, Hartford County. Datum 

of gage is 38.48 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 9,661 square miles.

Records available.- July 1928 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 14 years, 15,860 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 73,200 second-feet Apr- 9 (gage height, 5.70 

reet;; minimum daily, 1,120 second-feet Sept. 7.

1928-42: Maximum discharge, 282,000 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage height, 16.6 

feet, from floodmarks); minimum daily, that of Sept. 7, 1942.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record

 and those below 3,000 second-feet, which are,fair. Figures of discharge include water 

diverted around station by Connecticut Light'& Power Co. Flow regulated by power 

plants and by First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes, Lake Francis, Comerford 

Station Pond, four reservoirs in Mascoma River Basin, Lake Sunapee, two reservoirs 

in Deerfield River Basin, Quabbin Reservoir on Swift River, Watershops Pond on Mill 

River, and Borden Brook and Cobble Mountain Reservoirs on Westfield Little River 

(see p. 148), and other reservoirs, which have a combined usable capacity of about 

80 billion cubic feet, and by diversion from Ware River.

Average discharge.- 20 years, 124 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,300 second-feet Mar. 10; maximum gage height, 

lii.av feet Mar. 9 (ice Jam); minimum discharge not determined.

1922-42: Maximum discharge, 5,220 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 11.24 

feet), from rating curve extended above 2,000 second-feet on basis of float measurements 

and slope-area computation at crest stage; maximum gage height, 12.80 feet Mar. 19, 

1936; minimum discharge, about 1 second-foot (-regulated) Oct. 6, 1922, July 10, 1923.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair, and those 

ror periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Flow regulated by reservoir abovf 

gage. Slight diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above gage.

downstream from Great Brook and 3 miles east of Westfleld. Hampden County. Datum of

gage Is 98.25 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. 

Drainage area.- 497 square miles. 

Records available.- June 1914 to September 1942. 

Average discharge.- 28 years, 913 second-feet (adjusted for diversion since 1914 and for

change in reservoir contents since Oct. 1, 1931). 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 12.100 second-feet Mar. 9 (gage height, 13.40

feet;; minimum, 89 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 23; minimum daily, 107 second-feet

Oct. 26.

1914-42: Maximum discharge, 55,500 second-feet Sept. 21, 22, 1938 (gage height,

29.40 feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 18,000 second-feet on

basis of computations of flow over dam at gage heights 27.20 and 29.40 feet; minimum,

9 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 2, 1921. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, which are fair. Flow

regulated by diversion from Westfleld Little River for municipal supply of Springfield

and by Borden Brook and Cobble Mountain Reservoirs (see p. 148). Peak discharges after

February 1942 were somewhat affected by Knightvllle Reservoir.

204 CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN

Pequabuck River at Forestvllle, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°40'20", long. 72°54'05", 700 feet upstream from 

station of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad at Forestvllle, Hartford County, 

half a mile downstream from North Branch of Pequabuck River (Coppermlne Brook), and 

6 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 45.2 square miles.

itecoras available.- July 1941 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,340 second-feet Mar. 3 (gage height, 4.06 

feet;; minimum, 7.0 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 20, 26, 27 (gage height, 0.65 foot); 

minimum dally, 7.0 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26.

1941-42: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 3, 1942; minimum, 6.5 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 21, 22, 1941 (gage height, 0.64 foot); minimum daily, 7.0 secondfeet (regulated) Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 26, 1941.

Flood of September 1938, reached a stage of about 7.3 feet, from floodmarks 

(discharge, 3,800 second-feet, by slope-area method and computation of flow over dam 

1,700 feet downstream).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Low flow 

regulated by mills above station. Flow regulated by Whigville Reservoir (see p. 148 ) 

having a total capacity of 64,700,000 gallons (revised) and by diversion for municipal 

supply of New Britain from North Branch of Pequabuck River at Whigville Reservoir and 

Whites Bridge pumping plant.

CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 207

North Branch of Park River at Hartford, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and masonry control, lat. 41°47'03", long. 72°42'31", 60 

feet downstream from stone-arch bridge on Albany Avenue, Hartford, Hartford County, 

and 3 miles upstream from confluence with South Branch. Datum of gage Is 34.20 feet 

above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Department of Engineering, city of 

Hartford).

Drainage area.- 25.3 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 690 second-feet Mar. 9 (gage height, 6.03

 fe6t): maximum gage height, 6.05 feet Feb. 1 (Ice jam); minimum discharge, 0.3 secondfoot (regulated} Oct. 1, Nov. 26 (gage height, 0.84 foot); minimum dally, 0.35 secondfoot (regulated) Oct. 1, Nov. 26.

1936-42: Maximum discharge, 1,640 second-feet Jan. 25, 1938 (gage height, 11.6 

feet), from rating curve extended above 800 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 0.06 second-foot (regulated) Sept. 28, 1941 (gage height, 0.76 foot); minimum 

dally, 0.08 second-foot (regulated) Sept. 28, 1941.

Flood of Mar. 12, 1936 reached a stage of 11.2 feet, as determined from floodmarks 

by city engineers of Hartford (discharge, probably 1,520 second-feet, from current 

rating curve after adjusting observed gage height to equivalent gage height for 

present conditions).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of Ice effect or backwater from

 debris on control, which are fair. Flow regulated by reservoir above station.

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN 217

Housatonlc River at Stevenson, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°23'05", long. 73°09'55", In New Haven County,

 a quarter of a mile upstream from Elghtmlle Brook and a quarter of a mile downstream 

from dam of Connecticut Light & Power Co. at Stevenson, Falrfleld County. Datum of 

gage Is 24.98 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army). Drainage area.- 1,545 square miles.

Kecords available.- August 1928 to September 1942.

Average aiscnargeT- 14 years, 2,454 second-feet (unadjusted prior to 1936).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 14.100 second-feet Mar. 9 (gage height, 11.26

 feet); minimum, 62 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 24 (gage height, 0.72 foot); minimum

dally, 71 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26.

1928-42: Maximum discharge, 69,500 second-feet Mar. 12, 1936 (gage height, 23.5

feet, from floodmarks), by computations of peak flow at Stevenson and Derby dams and

slope-area determination at gaging station; practically no flow at times (result of

regulation). 

Remarks.- Records excellent. Ordinary flow completely regulated by Stevenson nydroelec-

 ^FTcfplant. Flow regulated by Rocky River, Stevenson, and Shepaug Reservoirs (combined usable capacity, 6,600,000,000 cubic feet), and by small diversion from the 

basin at Shepaug Reservoir.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

Note.- Ho gage-height record Jan. 9-11, Apr. 1 to May 19, May 31 to July 6; discharge computed on 

basis of recorded range in stage, weather records, and records for nearby stations. Stage-discharge 

relation affected by ice Dec. 12, 30, Jan. 6-S, Jan. 12 to Feb. 26.

Time basis; Eastern standard time prior to 2 a.m., Feb. 9, 1942; eastern war time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
220 HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN

\ Shepaug River at Woodvllle, Conn.

Location.- Non-recording gages at dam at outlet of Shepaug Reservoir, lat. 41°43'16", 

long. 73°17'40n , 1 mile north of Woodvllle, Lltchfleld County, and 3 miles upstream 

from Bantam River.

Drainage area.- 38.0 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 2,050 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 9; 

minimum observed, 2.4 second-feet (regulated) on many days.

1935-42: Maximum discharge observed, 6,000 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938; no flow at 

times (result of regulation).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of rapidly changing stage, which are ralr 

uiscnarge computed on basis of flow over spillway, through floodgates, and through 

fountain at toe of dam. Rating curvee for floodgates and fountain computed by means 

of a temporary sharp-crested weir below dam. Rating curve for spillway computed for 

discharges below 18.5 second-feet by means of same weir and for discharges above 18.5 

second-feet by a formula selected to fit the spillway-crest sections. At times of 

Ice effect on spillway, flow computed from gage readings at a permanent artificial 

control below dam, which was calibrated with the sharp-crested weir prior to Its 

removal. Gages at dam or artificial control usually read once dally, more often during periods of extremely high flow. Water diverted from Shepaug Reservoir for municipal supply of Waterbury. Flow regulated by Shepaug Reservoir (capacity, 96,000,000 

cubic feet;.

Cooperation.- Records furnished by Bureau of Engineering, city of Waterbury.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

 Beacon Hill Brook, 1.3 miles downstream from Naugatuek, New Haven County, and 12 miles 

upstream from mouth. Datum of gage Is 155.17 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 

(levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 246 square miles.

Records available.- June 1918 to September 1924, September 1928 to September 1942.

Average aiscnargeT- 20 years, 426 second-feet (unadjusted prior to 1936).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,180 second-feet Mar. 9 (gage height, 7.73

 feet); minimum, 54 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26, 27 (gage height, 0.21 foot); minimum dally, 56 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26.

1918-24, 1928-42J Maximum discharge, 17,000 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage 

height, 12.40 feet), from rating curve extended above 4,700 second-feet by logarithmic 

plotting and verified by comparison with records for headwater streams; minimum, 24 

second-feet Oct. 21, 1935 (gage height, 0.26 foot); minimum dally, 40 second-feet Oct. 

5, 12, 1930, Sept. 7, 1936; minimum gage height, 0.14 foot July 17, 1939.

Flood of November 1927 reached a stage of 14 feet (discharge, about 18,300 secondfeet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of doubtful gage-height record, which are 

ralr, and those above 3,000 second-feet, which are poor. Flow regulated by plants 

above station during low stages and by Morris and Wigwam Reservoirs (combined capacity, 

360,000,000 cubic feet). Flow Increased by diversion from Shepaug Reservoir Into 

Naugatuck River Basin.

248 HUDSON RIVER BASIN

Glens Falls feeder at Glens Falls, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°17'30", long. 73°39'55", at upstream end of

 feeder canal at city of Glens Falls, Warren County. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 

1,000 feet downstream from cement mill and 3.3 miles downstream from base gage.

Records available.- May 1927 to September 1942.

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

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

C throughout the season being computed from current-meter measurements. Flow regulated in accordance with requirements of Champlain Canal and for floating logs. 

Operation of feeder discontinued Nov. 28 and resumed Apr. 6. During period for which 

no diversion is shown the feeder may carry a small flow representing leakage through 

the head gates and runoff from area tributary to feeder above station.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a Ho gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of recorded range in stage and normal daily 

gage-height pattern.

b Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

d Doubtful gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of engineers' notes and records for 

station at Coho»a and West Canada Creek at East Bridge.

Time basis: Baatern standard tlM prior to 2 a.m.. Fab. 9, 1942; eastern war time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HUDSON RIVER BASIN 259

Mohawk River at Cohoes, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 42°47'0511 , long. 73°42'25", at School Street plant 

or New York Power & Light Coloration in Cohoes, Albany County.

Drainage area.- 3,456 square miles.

Records available.- July to October 1925 (computed from records at dam and school Street 

plant or New York Power & Light Corporation) and October 1925 to September 1942. 

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

Average discharge.- 24 years (1918-42), 5,545 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 47.200 second-feet Mar. 17 (gage height, 16.98 

reet); minimum, 18 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 20 (gage height, 3.77 feet;; minimum 

daily, 72 second-feet Sept. 6.

1925-42: Maximum discharge, 130,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 22.57 

feet), from rating curve extended above 34,500 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; 

minimum, 6 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 28, 1941 (gage height, 3.40 feet).; minimum 

daily, 23 second-feet Aug. 24, 1941.

Remarke.- Records excellent. Records include small diversion Just above gage for Cohoes 

water supply, but do not include diversion through lock 6 at Crescent Dam (published 

herewith) for operation of Barge Canal. During canal'navigation season, water is 

received from Black River Basin through Black River Canal (flowing south) and Lansing 

Kill, and possibly from Chenango River Basin through Orlskany Creek feeder. Water is 

diverted into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River Basin through summit 

level of Barge Canal near Rome. Most of the flow of Schoharle Creek above Gllboa Dam, 

a tributary of Mohawk River, is diverted out of basin through Shandaken tunnel for 

New York City water supply. Flow partly regulated by storage, principally in Delta, 

Hinckley, and Gllboa Reservoirs (combined capacity, 8,738,000,000 cubic feet). Diurnal fluctuation caused by School Street power plant.

 helghte only) at site at Millstone. If miles downstream.

Average discharge.- 20 years (1922-42), 368 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,940 second-feet Aug. 9 (gage height, 11.57

 feet), from rating curve extended above 4,000 second-feet on basis of slope-area

determination at gage height 15.29 feet; minimum, 9 second-feet Oct. 2 (gage height,

1.19 feet).

1921-42: Maximum discharge, 18,300 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 15.29

feet, from floodmark), by slope-area method; minimum, about 5 second-feet Sept. 16,

1923. Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 1,000 second-feet and those for periods or

 Ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. .As Delaware & Rarltan Canal 

parallels river for some distance it may divert a slight amount of water from Delaware 

River to the Millstone River through this canal.

 square miles, and flow from which is diverted around station to hydroelectric plant

downstream, see p. 372). 

Records available.- August 1938 to September 1942 in reports of Geological Survey. July

1908 to December 1919 and August 1938 to September 1942 in reports of Pennsylvania

Department of Forests and Waters.

Average discharge.- 12 years (1909-12, 1913-18, 1938-42), 421 second-feet, 

fcixtremes.- HaxlmBS discharge during year, 50,000 second-feet May 23 (gage height, 20.1

 feet, from floodmark in gage shelter), by slope-area method: minimum, 21 second-feet 

Oct. 13 (gage height, 1.22 feet); minimum dally, 23 second-feet Oct. 26.

average aiscnargeT- 11 years, 33,130 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 307,000 second-feet May 24 (gage height, 49.63

 felHfTT minimum, 2,070 second-feet Oct. 3 (gage height, 31.46 feet); minimum daily, 

2,340 second-feet Oct. 3.

1931-42: Maximum discharge, 787,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 60.73 - 

feet), from rating curve extended above 450,000 second-feet; minimum, 618 second-feet 

Sept. 26, 1932 (gage height, 30.89 feet), when York Haven power plant was shut down 

in order to obtain current-meter measurements at low water; minimum daily, 1,380 

second-feet Sept. 26, 1932.

Maximum stage known prior to 1931, 58.3 feet June 2, 1889, from floodmark (discharge, 

about 700,000 second-feet).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height rec-

 ord, which are good. Discharge below 8,000 second-feet regulated by Metropolitan 

Edison Co. plant at York Haven. Accuracy of the records for the entire period has 

been verified independently by the Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. by comparison with 

records obtained at the Safe Harbor, Holtwood, and Conowingo hydroelectric plants 

below station.

Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 3.12 square miles.

Records available.- November 1932 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 278 second-feet Dec. 24 (gage height, 4.08 

 feet), from rating curve extended above 174 second-feet; minimum, 0.104 second-foot

Oct. 1, 2 (gage height, 1.28 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, fragmentary or no gageheight record, or backwater from debris, which are fair. This station Is operated 

In connection with a study of the effect of reforestation on stream flow. In addition 

to records of stream flow, records of precipitation, temperature, barometric pressure, 

soil temperature, evaporation, and ground-water levels are collected. Weekly records 

of ground-water levels for 1942 are published In Water-Supply Paper 944.

East Homer Creek at East Homer, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 42°40'10", long. 76°06'15", a

 quarter of a mile upstream from highway bridge In East Homer, Cortland County, and hair 

a mile upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 7.08 square miles.

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 374 second-feet Dec. 24 (gage height, 3.43 feet)

 minimum observed, 0.19 second-foot Oct. 2; minimum gage height, 0.67 foot July 26.

1938-42: Maximum discharge, 550 second-feet Apr. 8, 1940 (gage height, 3.7 feet, 

intake partially obstructed); minimum, 0.085 second-foot Sept. 2, 3, 19, 20. 1939 

(gage height, 0.595 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, doubtful, fragmentary, or

 no gage-height record, or backwater from debris, which are fair. This station Is 

operated In connection with a study of the effect of reforestation on stream flow. In 

addition to records of stream flow, records of precipitation, temperature, humidity, 

and ground-water levels are collected. Weekly records of ground-water levels for 

1942 are published In Water-Supp]y Paper 944.

SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN

Cohocton River near Campoell, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 42°16'10'1 , long. 77°13'00", just downstream from 

 highway bridge and 2 miles upstream from Campbell, Steuben County. Datum of gage Is

1,016.58 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. 

Drainage area.- 47£ square miles. 

Records available .- July 1918 to September 1942. 

Average discharge.- 24 years, 429 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 11,700 second-feet Mar. 17 (gage height, 8.09

feet); minimum, 18 second-feet Oct. 1, 2 (gage height, 0.405 foot).

1918-42: Maximum discharge, 41,100 second-feet July 8, 1935 (gage height, 11.6

feet, from floodmarks), from velocity-area and slope-area studies and logarithmic

plotting; minimum, 8 second-feet Sept. 6, 7, 1934. 

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. A

diversion from Mud Creek, a tributary above this station, for power development on

Keuka Lake probably takes all the ordinary flow from 45 square miles of the drainage

area above Lake Lamoka Outlet.

Rating tables, water year 1941-42, except periods of ice effect (gage height, 

in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)
