SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER RASI1J, 1944

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, 1944. 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 ita.de at about 10,000 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1944, 

5,340 gaging stations, Including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge neasurements were made 

during the water year 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 aclznowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," In the Introductory natter that precedes the gaglng-statlon records In each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation- of the second kind appears on page 12.

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-fcot Is the 

rate of discharge of a stream whose channel Is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity Is 1 fcot per second.

"Secnnd-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 runcff Is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Runoff In Inches" Is the depth to vtfilch an area would be covered If all r?e 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 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.

"Contents" is a term applied to the volume of water in a reservoir, not including water 

in bank storage unless so indicated.

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 ard 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 in figure 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the daily mean gage height to those 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 dally mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" 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 so-ne stations 

the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage, and from them 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 enginsers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations In the same or nearby basins. F?r those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation Is affected by ice, the days Included in 

the periods of ice effect either are Indicated in the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given In a general note following the table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of ice effect, 

shortly before the first period, or shortly after the last period are similarly indicated 

by a footnote.

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 dally 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 as 

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 dally 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 a station at which the drainage area of 

the stream is less than 10 or more ttvan 10,000 square miles or at which, on most days, the 

peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent.

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 dally mean 

gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the daily mean gage height may not 

indicate the true dally 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. For stations 

equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of dally discharge gives the discharge In 

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

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage 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.

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 tiie maximum dally 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 some reservoirs 

a table shewing 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. '
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1944, PART 4 5

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. Records of daily discharge prior to February 9, 1942, were 

computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed 

on the basis of war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

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 ttie 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error In the dally records is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean 

discharge and runoff are, in general, more accurate than the daily 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 "S3cond-feet per 

square mile" and "runoff in Inches" are not published unless storage or dive-sion records 

are included Indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes in contents or reservoirs or for other changes Incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included In the adjustments for 

changes in reservoir contents, unless its inclusion is indicated. Figures o f second-feet 

per square mile and runoff in inches are also omitted if the drainage area includes large 

noncontributlng areas or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage ar3a is less 

than 20 Inches.

Many gaging stations on streams In the irrigated areas of the United Stat3S 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 may 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 8. The data for any particular gaging 

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 y^ars.

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 measuremBnts" 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. 8), contains, for the area covered by that report, a 

summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete ysars of 

record have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate rsprints.

Jointly by the United States and Canada under the terms of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 

1909, and others are maintained under a subsequent agreement between the two Governments. 

The records from all these stations are obtained in such a manner as to be equally acceptable and available in both countries. These stations are designated international 

gaging stations.

Location.- Lat. 42°52'40", long. 78°53'25", at head, of Niagara River at Buffalo. Flow 

computed by means of several U. S. Lake Survey gages on river.

Drainage area.- 263,500 square miles.

Records available.- January 1905 to September 1944 (prior to October 1935, monthly 

discharge only).

Average discharge.- 40 years (October 1904 to September 1944), 191,000 second-feet (not 

Including diversions from Lakes Michigan and Erie).

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 242,000 second-feet Oct. 17; minimum 

daily, 154,000 second-feet Mar. 4.

1905-44: Maximum monthly mean discharge, £42,000 second-feet May 1929; minimum 

monthly, 117,000 second-feet February 1936.

Remarks.- Records do not include flow diverted from Lake Michigan by Chicago Sanitary & 

Ship Canal and from Lake Erie by Welland Canal in Ontario, and Black Rock and New York 

State Barge (old Erie) Canals at Buffalo. Dally discharge of Niagara River computed 

from gage height at Buffalo and fall from Buffalo to Black Rock. As tMs reach Is 

occasionally partly blocked by ice, all winter flows have been compared with daily 

flows computed from Canadian gage at Morrison Street, corrected for diversion through 

Queenston power plant. The latter figures have been used whenever comparison Indicated 

obstruction by ice in upper river.

Cooperation.- Records of daily discharge furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

3.96 reet Apr. 26; maximum reverse flow, 133 second-feet Apr. 26; minimum gage height, 

0.54 foot Aug. 28.

1942-44: Maximum discharge, 446 second-feet June 29, 1943 (from grap"! based on 

gage readings); maximum gage height, 5.70 feet June 22, 25, 1943 (from g~aph based on 

gage readings); maximum reverse flow, 161 second-feet Apr. 24, 1943 (from graph based 

on gage readings); minimum gage height, 0.16 foot Sept. 1, 1942 (from graph based on 

gage readings).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 50 second-feet, those for periods of reverse

 flow, shifting control, or no auxiliary gage-height record, which are fair. Gage read 

once daily. Stage-discharge relation affected by backwater from Fox River; discharge 

computed using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor. 

Occasionally during high stages of Fox River the flow at this station Is reversed.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1943 to September 1944

158 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Oswego River at lock 7, Oswego, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'00", long. 76°30'25", at lock 7 in Oswego. 

uswego County, three-quarters of a mile upstream from mouth. Datum of gage J.S 246.00 

feet above mean sea level (New York State Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Kecoras available.- November 1933 to September 1944. April 1897 to December 1901 and, of 

aouDtrui accuracy, October 1927 to September 1928 at High Dam. about three-quarters of 

a mile upstream.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1934-44), 6,288 second-feet.

extremes - Maximum discharge during year, 16,000 second-feet (regulated) Apr. 14 (gage 

neignt, 8.15 feet), includes mean daily discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 33 

second-feet (regulated) Feb. 2 (gage height, 1.10 feet); minimum daily discharge, 720 

second-feet Sept. 3.

1933-44: Maximum discharge, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936, includes mean daily 

discharge of canals; maximum gage height, 13.46 feet Apr. 10, 1940; minimum discharge 

(river only), that of Feb. 2, 1944; minimum gage height, 0.'97 foot Aug. 24, 1934; minimum daily discharge, 465 seccgad-feet Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from Lake Ontario and 

for Dec. 13 to,.Jan. 14, which are good. This record represents total discharge at 

Oswego and includes flow in Hydraulic and Barge Canals. A large amount of natural 

storage and some artificial regulation is afforded by the many large lakes and the 

Barge Canal system in- river basin. Large diurnal fluctuations at low and medium flow 

caused by power plants above station. Oswego River Basin receives water from Erie 

division of Barge Canal through lock 32 near Pittsford. Small diversion from basin is 

occasionally made from tributary streams through summit level of Barge Canal at New 

London into Mohawk River Basin. During a part of year entire flow from 45 square miles 

of drainage area of Mud Creek may be diverted from Chemung River Basin into Lake Keuka 

in Oswego River Basin. During year nearly all of flow from 15.7 square miles of the 

Tioughnioga River Basin was diverted into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego R'ver Basin.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of recorded range in stage, reconstructed 

gage-height record, and records for Onondaga Creek at Syracuse.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 11, 13-17, 22-26, 28-30, Jan. 8-10, 16-19, 

Jan. 25 to Feb. 21, Mar. 2, 4-6, 9-11, 19, 20, 22. Shifting-control method used Jun3 11, July 2-27, 

Aug. 22 to Sept. 14.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
166 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

East Branch Fish Creek at Taberg, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°18'05", long. 75°37'10", at highway bridge 

in Taberg, Oneida County, just downstream from Furnace Creek. Datum of ggge is 

491.12 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 189 square miles.

Kecoras available.- April 1923 to September 1944.

Average a1scnarge.- 21 years, 538 second-feat.

extremes.- maximum discharge during year, 6,180 second-feet Apr. 24 (gage height, 6.58 

i'eetjT minimum, 12 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 16 (gage height, 0.045 foot).

1923-44: Maximum discharge, about 16,500 second-feet Oct. 6, 1932 (gage height, 

y.18 feet), from rating curve extended above 2,700 second-feet by logarithmic plotting 

minimum, 5.4 second-feet (regulated) June 28, 1941 (gage height, -0.10 foot).

Remarks._- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or fragmentary gage-height 

record, which are fair. The city of Rome diverted 5,5uO,300,000 gallons during year 

above station for water supply, equivalent to a mean discharge of 23.3 second-feet or 

5.3 per cent of average flow for year. Operation of gates at Rome diversion dam 

occasionally caused diurnal fluctuation during low flow.

 - Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

f Fragmentary gage-height record; discharge computed from recorded range In stage and graph based 

on twice-daily gage readings.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 12 to Jan. 19, Jan. 25, Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, 

Feb. 8-23, 25, 26, Mar. 2-6, 9-11 (fragmentary gage-height record Dec. 19, 20, Feb. 4).

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 

Black River near Boonville, tl. Y.

167

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°30'35", long. 7D°18'25", at highway bridge,

three-quarters of a mile upstream from Sugar River ani 2 miles northeast of Boonville, 

OneIda County.

Drainage area.- 295 square miles.

Records available.- February 1911 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 33 years, 661 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,030 second-feet Apr. 25 (gage height, 9.22 

feet); minimum, 115 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 23 (gage height, 3.72 feat).

1911-44: Maximum discharge, about 10,000 second-fset Mar. 38, 1913 (gage height, 

about 12.5 feet); minimum, about 5 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 26, 1918 (gage height, 

2.40 feet).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are good. Flow 

partly regulated by several headwater reservoirs. Forestport feeder diverts water 

from State Pond at Forestport. That portion of diverted water which does not pass 

down Black River Canal (flowing south) returns to Black River below station through 

Mill Creek sluiceway.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 124 secona-feet Oct. 27; minimum daily,

 1.3 second-feet Feb. 20.

1915-44: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 323 second-feet Nov. 30, 1915; practically no flow at times when no water is being diverted.,

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

 at gage 1, which are fair. Record shows combined flow at gages 1 and 2 and represents 

total diversion from Black River at Forestport, through Forestport feeder, into Mohawk 

River basin. Discharge during period Oct. 27 to May 30, when no water was diverted, 

made up of leakage through head gates and runoff from area draining into canal above

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day. 

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of recorded range in stage and records for 

stations on Hiddle Branch at Old Forge and near HcKeever.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice NOV. 24, 25, 29, 30, Dec. 7 to Mar. f7, Apr. 10-16. 

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 1 71

Middle Branch Moose River at Old Forge, N. Y.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 43°42'50", long. 74°58'10t', in Old Forge, Herkimer County, 

400 reet dovmstream from State dam.

Drainage area.- 52 square miles.

Kecoras available.- November 1911 to September 1944.

Average aiscnarge.- 32 years (1912-44), 103 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge observed during year, 332 second-feet Oct. 1, 2 

(gage neight, o.b feet); maximum daily, 332 second-feet Oct. 1, 2; minimum observed, 

0.1 second-foot Mar. 23 to Apr. 13; minimum daily, 0.1 second-foot Mar. 23 to Apr. 13. 

1911-44: Maximum daily discharge, 862 second-feet Mar. 23, 1921, from rating curve 

extended above 450 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum daily, abort 0.1 

second-foot many times during 1938-39, Mar. 23 to Apr. 13, 1944, when gatee in dam 

were closed.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 5 second-feet, which are fair. On <?ays of 

cnanges in gate openings discharge is averaged for intervals of a day from graph 

based on gage readings and record of gate operations. Gage read twice daily. Flow 

regulated by Fulton Chain of Lakes.

Rating tables, mater year 1943-44, except periods of backwater 

(gage height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 44°1B'35", long. 72°34'30", on reservoir on Nortl Branch 

Winooski River at Wrightsville, Washington County, a third of a mile downstream from 

Long Ileadow Brook and 4i miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 612.75 feet 

above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 66.5 square miles.

Records available.- March and April 1936, September 1938 to September 1944.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during year, 53.0 feet May 1, 2; minimum observed, 

0.4 foot Aug. 26 to Sept. 13.

1936, 1938-44: Maximum gage height, 63.7 feet Mar. 22, 1936, from graph based on 

gage readings; minimum observed, 0.3 foot several days in August and September 1942.

Remarks.- Reservoir is formed by earth-fill dam completed by Corps of Engineers, U. 3. 

Arny, in 1935 for flood control. Capacity of reservoir is 073,500,000 cubic feet 

between gage heights 0.0 foot (bottom of outlet opening) and 72.25 feet (crest of 

spillway). Dan has no gates; below gage height 72.25 feet, outflow from reservoir is 

dependent on capacity of outlet opening, 5i feet square, near base of dam. Gage read 

at 8 a.m.

Cooperation.- Gage readings furnished by State of Vermont Board of Public Works.

minimum daily, 3.9 second-feet Aug. 17, Sept. 2.

1933-44: Maximum discharge, 2,170 second-feet Apr. 12, 1934 (gage height, 6.53 

feet), from rating curve extended above 920 second-feet; minimum dally, C.2 secondfoot Aug. 13, 1941.

Maximum discharge known, 17,200 second-feet Nov. 3, 1927, by computation of flow 

over dam three-quarters of a mile above gage.

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

wm.cn are fair. High flow controlled since 1935 by Wrightsville Detention Reservoir 

(see p. 208)- Diurnal fluctuation at low stages caused by small mill above station.
