SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1943

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, 1943. 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 9,670 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1943, 

5,130 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 1943 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 the 

introductory matter that precedes the gaging-station 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 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 coimonly 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.

2 SURFACE V&TER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 4

"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 and discharge 

measurenents 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 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 "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 or 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 "tfecond-root-days" gives the sum 

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

"Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge, not the momentary discharge when the water 

surface was at crest stage. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given 

is the minimum daily discharge. The column headed "llean" gives the average flow In 

.cubic feet per second during the month.
ACCUBACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 5

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 3 a.m. on February 9, 1943, 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, 1943, 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 CF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) tne permanency of the stagedischarge relation or, If the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurerients 

and (3) 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 error in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "f-air," 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 nay 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. 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 sunnary 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 ton page 8. The data for any particular 

station will, In general, be found In the ijeports 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 titan 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. 8), 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.

PUBLICATIONS

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

rarlous areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. Biese reports contain records 

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

basins.

in storage of 128,093,571 cubic feet, or a discharge of 4.062 second-feet for 

year. This correction applied to above, gives a mean for year of 17.207 

second-feet, 1.366 second-feet per square mile, and 18.543 inches runoff from 

drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation for year ending Sept. 30, 1943 was 2.70 

feet higher than that of preceding year, corresponding to an increase In storage of 78,963,163 cubic feet, or a discharge of 2.504 second-feet for year. 

This correction applied to above gives a mean for year of 18.409 second-feet, 

1,461 second-feet per square mile and 19.832 inches runoff from drainage area,

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

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

157

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'UO", long. 76°30 l 25" t at lock 7 In Oswego, 

UsweKO County, three-quarters of a mile 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 194S. April 1897 to December 1901 and, 

or doubtrui accuracy, October 1927 to September 1928 at High Dam, about threequarters of a mile upstream. '

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 25,4uO second-feet (regulated) May 15 (gage 

neignt, 10.92 feet), includes mean dally discharge of canals; minimum (river only), 

36 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 4 (gage height, 1.11 feet); minimum daily discharge, 

1,150 second-feet Sept. 26.

1933-43: 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 Oct. 4, 1942; minimum gage height, 0.97 foot 

Aug. 24, 1934; minimum dally discharge, 465 second-feet Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of backwater from Lake Ontario, 

wnicn are fair. 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 many large lakes and Barge Canal system in river basin. 

Large diurnal fluctuations at low and medium stages caused by power plants above 

station. Oswego River Basin receives water from Erie division of Barge Canal 

through lock 32 near Plttsford. 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 

Tioughnloga River Basin was diverted Into DeKuyter Reservoir, in Oswego River Basin.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1942 to September 1943

ise STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Fall Creek near Ithaca, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 42°27'20", long. 76°28'30",

 in Forest Home, Tompkins County, half a mile upstream from Cornell University Darn and 

li miles northeast of Ithaca. Datum of gage is 794.81 feet above mean sea level, 

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

Drainage area.- 124 square miles.

Records available.- February 1925 to September 1943. July 1908 to June 1909 at bite li 

miles downstream.

Average discharge.- 18 years, 184 second-feet.

Extremes.- maximum discharge during year, 5,660 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 5.86

 feet); minimum, 14 second-feet (probably result of regulation) Sept. 20, 27 (gage 

height, 0.35 foot) .

1925-43: Maximum discharge, 15,500 second-feet July 8, 1935 (gage height, 9.52 

feet), from average of computed flow over each of four dams; minimum, about 3 secondfeet Aug. 25, 1927 (gage height, 0.18 foot).

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

Cornell University diverted 291,660,000 gallons during year from a point about 1 mile 

above station for water supply, equivalent to a mean discharge at station of 1.24 

second-feet, or about 0.5 percent of average flow for year.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a Ho gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of estimated gage-heijtfit graph and records for 

Middle Branch Moose River at Old Forge and near McKeever.

f Fragmentary gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of estimated gage-height graph, and 

records for Middle Branch Moose River at Old Uorge and near McKeever.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Nov. 14, 15, Dee. 8, 9, Dec. 17 to Mar. 11, Apr. 4, 

6, 7 (no gage-height record Jan. 30 to Feb. 3; fragmentary gage-height record Jan. 11-14, 17).

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

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

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 43°42'50", long. 74°58'10", at Old Forge, Herkimer County, 

4uu reet downstream from State dam.

Drainage area.- 52 square miles.

Records available.- November 1911 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 31 years (1912-43), 104 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes jregulated).- Maximum" discharge observed during year, 741 second-feet May 13, 

14 tgage neignt, 4.6 feet); maximum daily; 741 second-feet May 13; minimum observed, 

2.2 second-feet Oct. 24-26 (gage height, 1.64 feet); minimum daily, 2.2 second-feet 

Oct. 25.

1911-43: Maximum daily discharge, 862 second-'feet Mar. 23, 1921, from rating curve 

extended above 450 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum daily, 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 from debris and for days 

wnen gate changes were not recorded, which are fair. On days when gate openings are 

changed, the 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.

 feet); minimum, 376 second-feet (regulated) July 26 (gage height, 3.65 feet); minimum

dally, 555 second-feet (regulated) July 26.

1908-43: Maximum discharge, that of May 16, 1943; minimum, about 10 second-feet

(regulated) Sept. 2, 1913 (gage height, 0.85 foot); minimum dally, 11 second-feet

(regulated) Sept. 2, 1913.

Reirarks.- Records excellent except those for periods ~or no gage-height record, which 

are erood. 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.

190 STREAIIS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 

Saranac River at Saranac, H. Y.

Location.- Water-rStage recorder, lat. 44°38'45", long. 73°44'40", 500 feet upstream from 

highway bridge at Saranac, Clinton County. . *

Drainage area.- 521 square miles.

Records available.- September 1930 to September 1943 (discontinued).

Average discharge.- 13 years, 668 second-feet.

Extremes.- Ilaximum discharge during year, 7,060 second-feet May 12, from rating curve 

extended above 4,000 second feet; maximum gage height, 9.69 feet Dec. 20 (backwater 

from ice): minimum discharge, 127 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 16, 17 (gage height, 

1.80 feet); minimum daily discharge, 131 second-feet Oct. 14-16.

1930-43: Ilaximum discharge, that of May 12, 1943; maximum gage height, 12.74 feet 

Dec. 2, 1936 (ice jam); minimum discharge, 67 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 27, 1934 

(gage height, 1.63 feet); minimum daily discharge, 78 second-feet Sept. 15, 1941.

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

which are fair. Records during periods of backwater from ice consist essentially of 

adjusted daily discharge at Kents Falls hydroelectric plant 7 miles downstream. 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by power operations. Flow partly regulated 

by Lower Saranac Lake and elsewhere.

d Doubtful gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of available gage-height record, 

weather records, power-plant records, and records for Dog River at Northfield Falls.

g Computed from graph based on staff-gage readings.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Dec. 8-1O, Dec. 13 to Mar. 28.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44028 f 40B , long. 73°OQ'20", half a mile dovmstream 

from Huddy Brook and 2 miles southwest of Essex Junction, Chlttenden County.

Drainage area.- 1,044 square miles.

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 1,599 second-feet (adjusted for change In reservoir contents since October 1938).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 12,900 second-feet May 12 (gage height, 8.35 

feetj: minimum daily, 107 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 4.

1928-43: Maximum discharge, 45,300 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 23.54 

feet); from rating curve extended above 25,000 second-feet on basis of slope-area 

determination and computations of flow over dam at cage heights 18.72 feet, 23.54 

feet, and 50.4 feet; minimum dally, 70 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 25, 1937.

raximum discharge known, 113,000 second-feet Nov. 4, 1927 (gage height, 50.4 feet, 

from floodraarks), by .slope-area determination and computation of flow over dam.

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

regulated by power plants above station and by Peacham Pond, Mollys Falls and 

Waterbury Reservoirs (combined usable capacity, 3,304,300,000 cubic feet (see pp. 188, 

210 ), which regulate runoff from 24 square rilles and 109 square miles, respectively, 

and by East Barre and Wrlehtsvllle Detention Reservoirs (combined usable capacity, 

1,379,500,000 cubic feet See pp. 204, 206).

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER 207

North Branch Wlnooskl River at Wrightsvllle, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 44°18'00", long. 72034'45", 

at Wrightsvllle, Washington County, three-quarters of a mile downstream from Wrightsvllle Detention Reservoir and 3i miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 550.53 

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

Drainage area.- 69.2 square miles.

Records available.- October 1933 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 10 years, 129 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 745 second-feet Apr. 28 to Hay 2; maximum gage 

height, 3.62 feet Apr. 28 to May 1: minimum daily discharge, 15 second-faet Oct. 5, 

17-19.

1933-43: Maximum discharge, 2,170 second-feet Apr. 12, 1934 (gage height, 6.53 

feet), from rating curve extended above 920 second-feet; minlnum daily, 0.2 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, which are fair. High flow 

controlled since 1935 by Wrightsvllle Detention Reservoir (see p. £06). Diurnal 

fluctuation at low stages caused by snail mill above station.

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

Drainage area.- 142 square miles.

Records available.- September 1938 to September 1943. May 1909 to September 1924 and 

November 1928 to May 1936 at site 0.65 mile upstream.

Average discharge.- 21 years (1909-19, 1929-35, 1938-43), 245 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,720 second-feet May 14 (gage height, 6.98 

feet) minimum daily, 40 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 17.

1909-24, 1928-36, 1938-43: 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 dally, 3.0 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 27, 1930; practically no flow 

at tines because of regulation.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect and periods of no 

gage-height record during November and December, which are good, and those for period 

of no {age-height record in March, which are fair. Flow regulated by power plant 

and reservoirs above station.
