SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF PACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN OREGON AND LOWER COLUMBIA 

RIVER BASIN, 1945

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, 1945. The work was begun In 188S In connection with 

special studies relating to irrigation. Measurements of the flow of streams end of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 10,300 gaging stations 

In the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. Ir July 1945, 

5,600 gaging stations, Including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements 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 acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," In ttie 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 13.

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 iuno*f Is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Runoff In Inches" Is the depth to which an area would be covered If all tJ'a 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 ttie 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 sect'on, a reach 

of ttie channel, or an artificial structure.

1
2 SURFACE V&TER SUPPLY, 1945, PAHT 14

"Contents" Is a term applied to the volume of water In a reservoir. It Is computed on 

the basis of a level pool and does not Include bank storage unless otherwise 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 and discharge 

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 Hie 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 d'scharge measurements. The application of the dally mean gage height to those 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 "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 backrater-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 1 them tt« rate-of 

change of stage Is used as a factor In the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations In the northern part of tile 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. For 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 slmilrrly 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 dally 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 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 daily discharge if 

there is extenelve 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 creet. 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 than 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 daily mean 

gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the dally 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-he,ight 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 daily 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 daily 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 the maximum dally discharge, not the momentary diecharge 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 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 movea 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. At 2 a.m., war time, on September 30, 1945, a change was made
PUBLICATIONS 5

back to standard time and clock time was moved back 1 hour, or to 1 a.m. This made Sep- - 

tember 30 a 25-hour day. Time given herein for the water year 1945 prior to the change on 

September 30 refers'to war time; time after the change refers to standard tiF^. To convert 

war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour. Records of dally discharge prior to February 9,. 

1942, were computed, and those subsequent to September 30, 1945, will be computed on the 

basis of standard time; records between those dates were computed on the basis of war time. 

The discharge given for September 30, 1945, Is the mean for 25 hours. The mean discharge 

and runoff for the month of September have been computed from the total secord-foot days 

for the month without adjustment for the fact that September 30 was a 25-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 (! ) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation or, If the control Is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of s-tage, 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 error In the dally records Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 16 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 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 "second-feet 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 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 of second-feet 

per square mile and runoff 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 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 dally discharge affords opportunity for more detailed studies of the 

variation In flow. As further observations In each succeeding year ma> 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, grcuped 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 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 &E Water-Supply 

Papers 871 to 884 (see table on p. 8), contains, for the area covered by tl-at report, a 

stannary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of 

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

Bureau of Reclamation.

Hote.- Records through 1956 collected by the Oregon State engineer (some of them In cooperation 

with the Bureau of Reclamation of the F. S. Department of Interior) are contained In the bulletins 

published by that officer. (See p. 1O "State reports containing compilation of records of discharge.") The other records listed in this table have not been published.

COOPERATION

In Oregon the work was done under cooperative agreements with the State of Oregon, 

Charles E. Stricklin, State engineer; Umatilla County Court; and' the cities cf Corvallis, 

McMlnnvilie, and Portland. In Washington the work was done under cooperative agreements 

with the State Department of Conservation and Development, Ed Davis, director, succeeded 

by Art Garton, and Charles J. Bartholet, consultant engineer for the department; Columbia 

County; and Walla Walla County.

Financial assistance was furnished by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, for the 

operation of 35 gaging stations In Oregon and 15 In Washington.

Assistance in collecting records was rendered by the following counties, runicipallty, 

and corporations:

Oregon: Counties of Crook, Deschutes, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, 

KLamath, and ISnatllla; city of Grants Pass; The California Oregon Power Co., 

California Public Utilities, Pacific Power & Light Co., and Portland General 

Electric Co.

Washington: Northwestern Electric Co. and Pacific Power & Light Co.

DIVISION OF WORK

The stream-gaging work was conducted by the water resources branch of the Geological 

Survey Glenn L. Parker, chief hydraulic engineer, Carl G. Paulsen, assistant chief 

hydraulic engineer, and Rudolph G. Kasel, chief of the division of surface water (until 

June 14, 1945). The data for the gaging stations were collected and prepared for publication under supervision of district engineers as follows: In Oregon, G. H. Canfield, the 

work being done in collaboration with Charles E. Stricklin, State engineer; In Washington, 

F. M. Veatch.

The records were reviewed and the manuscript prepared for publlcation-onder the direction of B. J. Peterson, hydraulic engineer in charge, and F. J. Flynn, associate engineer, section of reports.

DESCHUTES RIVER BASIN 61

Diversions from Deschutes River near Bend, Oreg.

The following six canals, all of which are equipped with water-stage recorders except 

North Unit Canal, are the only diversions from Deschutes River between gaging stations at 

Benham Falls and below Bend.

Arnold Canal diverts from right bank at head of Lava Island, in SWi sec. 27, T. 18 8., 

R. 11 E.; water used for irrigation southeast of Bend.

Central Oregon Canal diverts from right bank in NEi sec. 13, T. 18 S., R. 11 E.; water 

used for irrigation east of Bend. (Beginning Oct. 1, 1932, record obtained upstream from 

intake of Pilot Butte canal.)

Deschutes County Municipal Improvement District Canal diverts from left bank in NEi 

sec. 32, T. 17 S., R. 12 E., at Bend; water used to supplement flow of Tumalo project feed 

canal for irrigation near Tumalo; water stored at Crescent Lake Reservoir is diverted by 

this canal. m

North and Swalley Canals divert from right bank in NEi sec. 29, T. 17 S., R. 12 E.; 

water used for irrigation north of Bend, mostly near Redmond.

Records of monthly discharge of these canals, published as a group, are available from 

October 1926 to September 1945; records for each canal published separately prior to 1926.

Beginning June 5, 1945, North Unit Canal diverted water occasionally fo~ short periods 

from right bank in or near NEi sec. 29, T. 17 S., R. 12 E., for irrigation near Madras 

(canal under construction by Bureau of Reclamation); no record of amount of such diversion 

in water year 1945.

DESCHUTES RIVER BASIN

Squaw Creek near Sisters, Oreg.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°14 ! , long. 12l°34«, in NWj sec. 32, T. 15 S., R. 

10 E., just upstream from intake of McCallister ditch and 4 miles south of Sisters.

Drainage area.- 63 square miles.

Records available.- 1913-25 (irrigation seasons only), October 1925 to September 1945. 

July 1906 to ray 1913 at site 700 feet downstream, below intake of McCallister ditch.

Average discharge.- 33 years (1906-18, 1919-20, 1925-45), 101 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 426 second-feet Jan. 13 (gage height, 3.09 feet, 

probably higher during period of ice effect); minimum not determined.

1906-45: Maximum gage height, about 8.75 feet (over top of gage) Nov. 22, 1909, 

site and datxm then in use (discharge not determined); maximum discharge recorded since 

that time, 1,130 second-feet Dec. 2, 1941 (gage height, 3.33 feet); mininum, 19" secondfeet Dec. 6, 1922.

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

wmcn are poor. A canal near mouth of Pole Creek, a tributary above station, diverts 

entire flow of that creek for irrigation of lands near Sisters.

WILLAHETTE RIVER BASIN 105

Waldo Lake Outlet near Oakridge, Oreg.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and artificial control on lake outlet, lat. 43°46', long. 

122"03', In NWi sec. 7, T. 21 S., R. 6 E., on artificial outlet channel of Waldo Lake, 

20 miles east of Oakrldge. Altitude of water surface of lake and gage, 5,410 feet

- (from topographic map).

Drainage, area.- 30 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1945.

Extremes.- mxlmui discharge during year, 66 second-feet May 29 (gage height, 1.76 feet); 

practically no flow Oct. 1 to Jan. 13, Sept. 4-30 (lake level below weir crest).

1936-45: Maximum discharge, 144 second-feet Jan. 2, 1943 (gage height, 2.98 feet), 

from rating curve extended above 80 second-feet; no flow at times.

Remarks.- Records good. At times seiches on Waldo Lake cause rapid changes in stage at 

gage several times per hour. Lake not artificially regulated. Diversion tunnel into 

head of Black Creek, near south end of lake, built about 1914, is not used, but there is 

leakage past control gates. Figures of discharge in second-feet per square mile and of 

runoff in inches, published In previous water-supply papers, are not indicative of 

natural yield as records do not include this leakage. Measurements of leaicage have 

been made as listed below:

- 3 E., i mile upstream from mouth and 24 miles northeast of Oakrldge. Detum of gage Is

1,029.6 feet above mean sea level (from river-profile survey). 

Drainage area.- 246 square miles. 

Recoras available.- October 1909 t9 September 1921 (fragmentary), September 1935 to Sep-

 tember 1946. October 1913 to February 1916 at site half a mile upstreair, above a small

tributary.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1935-45), 671 second-feet, 

totremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,150 second-feet Feb. 13 (gage 1:eight, 9.W

 feet); minimum, 40 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 19 (gage height, 0.25 foot); minimum 

daily, 101 second-feet Oct. 27-29.

1909-16, 1935-45: Maximum discharge determined, 15,900 second-feet (regulated) 

Dec. 31, 1942 (gage height, 14.24 feet), from rating curve extended above 5,800 secondfeet by logarithmic plotting. Flood of Nov. 22, 1909, reached a stage of 12.4 feet, 

site and datum then in use (discharge not determined). Minimum discharge, 26 secondRemarks.- Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record arrt those below

 rnrrgecond-feet, which are poor. Tunnel and control gates that were built to divert 

part of outflow from Waldo Lake into Salmon Creek Basin were not used during year, but 

leakage under gates is now about 8 second-feet. Occasional diurnal fluctuation during 

low-water periods by log pond upstream.

Cooperation-.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with U. S. Weather Bureau.

 S., R. 3 W., In Jefferson, 350 feet upstream from railroad bridge, 2 mller downstream 

from confluence of North Santlam and South Santlam Rivers, and 9 miles upstream from 

mouth. Datum of gage Is 199.63 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 1,790 square miles.

Records available.- July 1905 to July 1906 (gage heights only), October 1907 to September

 1916 and October 1939 to September 1945, In reports of Geological Survey. April 1904 

to September 1944 (gage heights only, Incomplete for some years) In reports of U. S. 

Weather Bureau.

Average discharge^- 15 years (1907-16, 1939-45), 7,115 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 63,800 second-feet Feb. 8 (gage height, 17.28

 feet); minimum, 358 second-feet Oct. 28, 29 (gage height, 1.47 feet).

1905-6, 1907-16, 1939-45: Maximum discharge observed, 144,000 second-feet (revised) 

during night of Nov. 22, 1909 (gage height, 18.2 feet, site and datum then in use), from 

curve of relation between gages based on readings from 1940 to 1945, and rating curve 

for gage at present site extended above 109,000 second-feet; corresponding gage height 

at present site, 23.0 feet from curve of relation. Minimum discharge observed, 260 

second-feet Aug. 15-22, Aug. 24 to Sept. 2, 1940-(gage height, -1.00 foot, site and 

datum then in use).

Maximum discharge known, about 176,000 second-feet Nov. 21, 1921 (gage height, 19.5 

feet at railroad bridge 350 feet downstream, site and datum In use prior to Oct. 1.

Revision.- The maximum discharge for the water year 1943 has been revised to 111,000 

second-feet Jan. 1 (gage height, 21.24 feet), superseding figure published in VJaterSupply Paper 984.

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

 computed from partly estimated gage-height record or staff-gage reading, which are fair. 

Salem Canal diverts from North Santlam River at Stayton for irrigation and power use; 

most of this water reaches Willamette River through Mill Creek at Salem. Stayton Canal 

diverts from North Santiam River at Stayton for irrigation of lands near West Stayton; 

some return flow reaches North Santiam River above station. Albany -power canal diverts 

from South Santiam River at Lebanon, return flow reaches Willamette River at Albany. 

No regulation.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with U. S. Weather Bureau.

.Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge, in second-feet, for the high-water period in the 

-water year 1910, superseding those published in Water-Supply Paper 370, are given herewith:

158 WILLATETTE RIVER BASIN 

Tualatin River at Farmington, dreg.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 45°27 1 00", long. 122°57'00", In SEi sec. 29, T. 1 S., R. 2 W., 

at highway bridge at Fantiington, 7t miles southwest of Beaverton. Auxiliary staff gage 

at highway bridge 6% mllfcs downstream, 1 mile northeast of Scholls. Datum of each gage 

is 100.42 feet above meaft sea level, datum of 1929. All discharge measurements made at 

Farmington.

Drainage area.- 568 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 8,130 second-feet Ifer. 22 (gage height, 

30.09 feet); maximum gage height observed, 30.30 feet'lfer. 23; minimum discharge 

observed, 40 second-feet Oct. 24.

1939-45: Maximum discharge observed, 14,500 second-feet Dec. 20, 1941 (gage height, 

33»30 feet); maximum gage height observed, 33.45 feet Dec. 21, 1941; minimum discharge 

observed, 28 second-feet Sept. 13, 14, 1944.

Maximum stage known, about 37 feet at.Farmington, Dec. 22 or 23, 1933.

Remarks.- Records good. Gages read twice daily. For gage heights above 8 feet, discharge 

computed by using fall as determined by twice-daily readings of auxiliary gage as a 

factor. Stage-discharge relation affected at times by backwater from flashboards on 

low dam 30 miles downstream. Slight regulation by log ponds'and dam below Gaston have 

little effect at this 'station; considerable pondage between this statior and the 

station near Willamette. Some diversions by pumping for irrigation above station, 

chiefly at Wapato Lake, near Gaston.

reet;; minimum, not determined; minimum daily, 578 second-feet Sept. 2.

1911-13, 1921-45: Maximum discharge, 34,800 second-feet Mar. 31, 1931 (gage height, 

15.5 feet), from rating curve extended above 11,000 second-feet; minimum observed, 375 

second-feet (regulated) Aug. 10, 16, 1924, Sept. 20, 1936; minimum daily, 536 secondfeet Oct. 22, 1930.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of partly estimated or no gage-height 

record, which are fair. Water diverted from Oak Grove Fork is used in power plant on 

Clackamas River just above station. Considerable diurnal fluctuation during periods of 

low flow.

SPRINGS IN THE WALLA WALLA RIVER BASIN, OREG.-WASH. 

Springs in the Vfalla Vlalla River Basin, Oreg.-viash. ,

229

Ground-water overflow through many springs on the alluvial fan of the Walla Walla 

River near Milton and Freewater, Oreg., amounts to about 50,000 acre-feet a year. During 

the irrigation season practically all the overflow is used to water crops on land not 

served by diversion from the river. A survey made in 1933 listed 57 springs or spring 

groups in the area, arranged in "inner," "intermediate," and "outer" zones concentric 

about the apex of the alluvial fan.-*-

The inner zone is 3 to 3ta miles downstream from Freewater and extends from the 

vicinity of Nicholas Spring, which is about half a mile east of the Walla Walla River at 

McCoy Bridge, to springs in the vicinity qf Dugger Creek. Within this sone are fully 

three-fourths of the springs in the Walla Walla Basin. The intermediate and outer zones, 

each of which contains only a few springs, are about 2 miles and 4 miles, respectively, 

beyond the inner zone.

In order to bring about a more effective use of the available water supply through a 

better understanding of the relation between surface- and ground-water supplies in fehe 

basin, discharge measurements of each of the principal springs and measurements of groundwater levels in representative wells have been made and the results published periodicaiiy 

since 1932.
