SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1942

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measureiaenbs 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 affected; 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 terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot is the 

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

whose average velocity is 1 foot per second. *

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed *uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off In inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered if all the water 

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

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

An "acre-foot" is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 

foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term is commonly used In connection with 

storage for Irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a run-off of 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the term "relation between gage 

height and discharge."

"Control" is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage that determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach 

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

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

2 EXPLANATION OF DATA

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

direct readings on a nonrecordlng gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined In standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. Typical structures In use at gaging stations are shown on plate 1.

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

dally mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge are computed. 

If the stage-discharge relation Is suoject 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 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 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 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 dally discharge of 

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

tables are published for all stations except those at which the 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 

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

EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

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 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 

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

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

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

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-height 

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

relation at the station.

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

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

"Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge 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 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 moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. This made- February 9 a 23-hour day. Time prior to 2 a.m. 

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 daily 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
4 TIME BASIS

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

The mean discharge and run-off 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 daily 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 run-off 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 "secondfeet per square mile" and "run-off in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion 

records are included indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless 

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

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

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

if the average annual rainfall over the drainage area is less than 20 inches.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those*"streains, 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 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 tiie 

area covered by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

453, 473, 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin.for those years.

The records at most of the stations discussed In these reports extend over a series of 

years. Miscellaneous measurements at many points other than regular gaging stations have 

been made each year and are published under "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" at the 

end of each report, the streams and: points of measurement listed appearing In the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations In the body of the report. An Index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published In Water-supply Paper 119.

Each of the reports on surface water supply for the year 1939, Issued as waterrSupply 

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.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on 

the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special 

reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these 

reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses and compilations 

of data relating to earlier noteworthy floods. The following list gives the numbers and 

titles of these reports.

x Pine River at Pine River power plant, near Florence, Wis.

Location.- Lat. 45°49', long. 88°15', in sec. 28, T. 39 N., R. 18 E., at power plant of 

Wisconsin Michigan Power Co., 4 miles downstream from Popple River and 64 miles south 

of Florence. '

Drainage area.- 543 square miles.

Records available.- October 1923 to September 1942. January 1914 to September 1923 at site 

4 miles upstream (drainage area, 511 square miles).

Average discharge.- 19 years (1923-42), 438 second-feet.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,230 second-feet .Tuly 18; 

minimum daily, 117 second-feet Jan. 11.

1923-42: Maximum daily discharge, 4,380 second-feet Apr. 9, 1929: no flow at times 

in 1924, 1926, 1927, 1930, 1931, 1933, 1940.

Remarks.- Records good except those for high stages, which are fair. Discharge determined 

from power-plant records. Flow regulated by power plant at station, but pondage is 

small and monthly discharge is very nearly natural flow.

Cooperation.- Records of daily discharge computed by Wisconsin Michigan Power Co. on basis 

of load-discharge rating of hydroelectric units as developed by Geological Survey in 

1931-32 and revised in 1939 on basis of two discharge measurements made in September 

1939.

40 SfREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN

Lake Winnebago at Oshkosh, Wis.

LocatloiK- Staff gage, lat. 44000'40", long. 88°32'00", in sec. 24, T. 18 N., R. 17 E., 

in mouth of upper Fox River at Chicago & Northwestern Railroad bridge, 0.2 mile downstream from Main Street Bridge in Oshkosh and 18 miles up the lake from Menasha Dam 

and outlet. Datum of gage is 745.05 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army). Prior to 1888 lake levels were referred to Deuchman gage at 

lake outlet at Menasha Dam. Datum of Deuchman gage, which is still in existence, is 

745.00 feet above mean sea level.

Drainage area.- 6,030 square miles at lake outlet at Menasha Dam.

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1942. Records from 1857 to 1938 in files 

or Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. A report on Fox River by Corps of Engineers, U. S. 

Army, is published as House Document Ho. 146, 67th Congress, 2nd Session.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during year, 3.33 feet June 1; minimum observed, 

1.29 feet Mar. 9.

1857-1942; Maximum gage height observed. 5.33 feet (Deuchman gage) Nov. 8, 1881; 

minimum observed, -2.00 feet (Deuchman gage) Nov. 28, 1891.

Remarks.- Lake elevations controlled by dams at Menasha and Neenah which are operated in 

the interest of navigation. Crests of both dams are at elevation 746.73 feet. 

Present limits of regulation are from 21i inches above crest of Menasha Dam down to 

crest during navigation season, plus additional 18 to 24 inches below crest during 

winter. Oshkosh gage gives true level of the lake while Deuchman gage readings are 

affected by loss of head in the channel between the lake and dam. Gage read once 

daily.

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

drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation for the year ending Sept. 30, 1942 was 1.15 

feet lower than that of preceding year, corresponding to a decrease in s torage 

of 32,707,929 cubic feet, or n discharge of 1.037 second-feet for the year. 

This correction applied to the above, gives a mean for the year of 11.645 second - 

feet, 0.924 'second-foot per square mile and 12.543 Inches run-off from drainage 

area.

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.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 135

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

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'00", long. 7&°30'25>a , at lock 7, In Oswego, 

Oswego County, three-quarters of a niile upstream from mouth. Datum of gage Is 246.00 

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

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Records available.- November 1933 to September 1942. April 1897 to December 1901 and, of 

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

a nlle upstream.

Extremes.-^Maximum discharge during year, 25,900 second-feet Mar. 18 (gage height, 11.09 

reetj, includes daily mean discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 38 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 13 (gage height, 1.12 feet); minimum daily, 755 second-feet Oct. 2. 

1933-42: Maximum discharge, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 13.10 

feet), includes daily mean discharge of canals; minimum (river only), that of Sept. 

13, 1942; minimum daily, 465 second-feet Aug. 12, 1934.

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

good. Records represent 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 many large lakes and Barge Canal system in the river basin. Large diurr<al 

fluctuations at low and medium stages caused by power plants above station. Oswogo 

River Basin receives water from Erie division of Barge Canal through lock 32 near 

Pittsford. Small diversion from basin is occasionally made fron tributary streams 

through summit level of Barge Canal at New London irto Mohawk River Basin. During 

part of year entire flow from 45 square miles of drainage area of Hud CreeK way be 

diverted from Chemung River Basin into Lake Keuka in Oswego River Basin. Drring year 

nearly all of the flow from 15.7 square miles of Tioughnioga River Basin was diverted 

into DeRuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River Basin.

Discharge, In second-feet, witer year October 1941 to September 1948

136 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Fall Creek near Ithaca, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 42°27'20", long. 76°28'oO". in 

forest Home, Tompkins County, half a mile upstream from Cornell University Dam and lir 

miles northeast of Ithaca. Datum of gage is 794.81 feet above mean sea level (general 

adjustment of 1912, levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 1S4 square miles.

Records available.- February 1925 to September 1942. July 1908 to June 1909 at site li 

miles downstream.

Average discharge.- 17 years, Iso second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,630 second-feet Mar. 17 (gaf;e height, 5.37 

feet); minimum, 9.6 second-feet (probable result of regulation) Dec. 11 (gage height, 

0.265 foot).

1925-42: Maximum discharge, 15,500 second-feet July f>, 1935 (gage height, 9.52 feet), 

from average of computed flow over each of four dams: nininim, about 3 second-feet Aug. 

25, 1927 (gage height, 0.18 foot).

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

University diverted 259,834,000 gallons during year from a point about a mile above station for water supply, equivalent to a mean discharge at the station of 1.10 second-feet, 

or 0.7 per cent of the average flow for the year.

Black River near Boonville, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°30'35", long. 75°18'25", at highway bridge

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

OneIda County.

Drainage area.- 295 square miles.

Records available.- February 1911 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 31 years, 653 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Ilaxiwum discharge during year, 6,040 second-feet Sept. 28 (gage height, 9.93 

feet); minimum, 79 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 27 (gage height, 3.50 feet).

1911-42: Maximum discharge, about 10,000 second-feet liar. 28, 1913 (gage height, 

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

2.40 feet).

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

gage-height record, all of which are fair. 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 Hill Creek sluiceway.

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

Flow partly regulated by Stlllwater Reservoir, Fulton Chain of Lakes, and other reservoirs. During canal season water is diverted out of basin through Forestport feeder 

and Black River Canal (flowing south). Large diurnal fluctuation at low and Tedium 

stages caused by mills and rower plants in Watertown and above.

146 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonville, N. Y.

Location.- Two water-stage recorders and concrete controls, lat. 43027 I 20", long. 

7t>"i9'25", No. 1 on Train canal at lock 69, and No. 2 on Lansingkill spillway, 100 

feet downstream from head ^-ates in summit level at canal, 600 feet upstream from 

lock 70, and 2 miles south of Boonvillo, Onelda County.

Records available.- September 1915 to September 1942 (canal seasons).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 15 second-feet and those for periods of

fragmentary gage-height record, which are fair. Records show combined flow at gages 

1 and 2 and represent total diversion from Black River at Forestport, through Forestport feeder, into Mohawk River Basin. During periods Oct. 29 to Apr. 24 and 

Sept. 27-30 when no water was diverted, canal carried a flow made up of leakage 

through head gates and run-off from area draining into canal above station.

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

» Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of constructed gage-height graph and records 

for stations on Middle Branch of Moose River at Old Forge and near McKeever.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 21-23, Jan. 7 to Mar. 15. Backwater from 

logs May 2-25.

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.
143 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

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

location.- Staff gage, lat. 430 42'50", long. 74°58'10", at Old Forge, Herklmer County, 

400 reet downstream from State dam.

Pralnage area.- 52 square miles.

Kecoros available.- November 1911 to September 1942.

Average ciiscnargeT- 30 years (1912-42), 103 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum dally discharge during year, 333 second-feet Apr. 22; 

minimum aaiiy, 0.8 second-foot Oct. 4-6, 8, when gates In dam were closed.

1911-42: Maximum dally discharge, 862 second-feet Mar. 23, 1921, from rating 

curve extended above 450 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum dally, about 

0.1 second-foot many times during 1938-39, when gates In dam were closed.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of backwater or shifting control, which 

are ralr. On days of changes In gate openings the discharge Is averaged for Intervals 

of a day from graph based on gage readings and record of gate operations. Gage read 

twice dally. Flow regulated by Fulton Chain of Lakes.

Correction.- The decrease In combined storage In Old Forge and Sixth Lake Reservoirs during water year 1940-41 has been corrected to 36.400,000 cubic feet (equivalent mean 

discharge, 1.15 second-feet; run-off, 0.30 Inch). These figures supersede those published in Water-Supply Paper 924.

Rating- table, water year 1941-42, except periods of backwater (gage height,

In feet, and discharge. In second-feet)

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°14'05", long. 74°34'20", half a mile downstream 

from dam of International Paper Co. and Piercerleld, St. Lawrence County.

Drainage area.- 722 square miles.

Records available.- August 1908 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 34 years, 1,260 second-feet.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 5,110 second-feet Apr. 22 (gage 

neignt, yTyy reet;; minimum, 130 second-feet July 31 (gage height, 2.46 feet); minimum daily, 134 second-feet Aug. 13.

1908-42: Maximum discharge, 7,580 second-feet Apr. 17, 1922 (gage height, 11.8 

feet); minimum, about 10 second-feet Sept. 2, 1913 (gage height, 0.85 foot); minimum 

dally, 11 second-feet Sept. 2, 1913.

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

are good. Large diurnal fluctuation in flow for short periods caused by paper mill. 

Seasonal distribution of flow appreciably modified by natural storage In lakes and 

ponds above station.

Records avalla&le.- March and April 1936, September 1938 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height observed during year, 43.6 feet Apr. 19; minimum observed, 

0.3 root several days in August and September.

1936, 1938-42: Maximum gage height, 63.7 feet Mar. 22, 1936, from graph based on 

gage readings; minimum observed, that of August and September 1942.

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

 Army, in 1935 for flood control. Usable capacity of reservoir is 873,500,000 cubic 

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

of spillway). Dam has no gates; outflow from reservoir is dependent on capacity of 

fixed 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.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 195

Clyde River at Newport, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°56'20", long. 72°11'25", in Newport, Orleans 

County, Just downstream from unnamed tributary entering from north and 1 mile upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 682.36 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 142 square miles.

Records available.- September 1938 to September 1942. May 1909 to September 1924 and 

November 1928 to May 1936 at site 0.65 mile upstream.

Average discharge.- 20 years (1909-19, 1929-35, 1938-42), 243 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,700 second-feet Apr. 18 (gage height, 7.04 

feet); minimum daily, 18 second-feet Oct. 5.

1909-24, 1928-36, 1938-42: Maximum discharge, 3.900 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 

(gage height, 5.76 feet, site and datum then in use), by computation of flow over dam; 

minimum daily, 3.0 second-feet Oct. 27, 1930; practically no flow at times because of 

regulation.

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

record, those computed on basis of partly estimated gage-height record or from graph 

based on gage readings, and those below 80 second-feet, all of which are good. Flow 

regulated by power plant and reservoirs above station.
