SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 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 oolnts.

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 gaglng-statlon records In each volume. In the 

present volume, the section on cooperation of the second kind appears on pages 11-12.

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-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 corimonly 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.

g SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 2

"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 

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 In figure 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 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 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 meane 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 ts computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

"occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available Information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. The days

Included In the periods of Ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are indicated In the table by symbols referring to footnotes 

or are given in a general note following the table.

For most of the gaging stations on streams In the area covered by this report the data 

presented comprise a description of the station, a table showing the daily discharge of 

the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and runoff. Skeleton rating 

tables are published for all stations except those at which the 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 jnlnimum 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 tlie 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 daily mean gage height may not 

indicate the true daily mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge 

for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for obtaining the 

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 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 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 dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow in 

cubic feet per second during the month.
ACCURACY 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. Fo/ 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.

TIKE 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 c 'untry was noved 

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 CF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESUUTS

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 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 nonthly and yearly nean 

discharge and runoff are, in general, more accurate than the daily records.

Yield at some stations as indicated by monthly means nay vary widely fron 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 

eatisfactory 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 onitted if tlie 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 divereions 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 nore detailed studies 

of the variation in flow. As further observations in each succeeding year nay be expected 

to throw new light on data previously published, it should be borne in nind 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 

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 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 

aleo as separate reprints.

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The city of Lynchburg, Va., has collected records of daily discharge of Pedlar River 

at Pedlar Dam, Va., continuously since August 1921. These records have not been 

published.

The Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture began 

during the 2-year period 1938-39 to make studies of runoff from five areas in Georgia 

and five in Virginia. Four of the areas in Georgia, comprising less than 60 acres each, 

are near Americus, and one, comprising 19.2 acres, is near watkinsville. Three of the 

areas In Virginia are near Chatham, and two are near Blacksburg; each comprises less 

than 20 acres. These records are in the files of the Soil Conservation service.

The Corps of Engineers, United States Army, has, since 1936, collected records of 

daily discharge at gaging stations in the eastern Gulf of Mexico drainage basins. These 

records are not at'present available for publication, but as they become available they 

will be published in the Geological Survey's water-supply papers.

COOPERATION

The work in the several States was done under cooperative agreements with the organizations listed below:

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

Revisions.- Revised figures of monthly discharge for the water years 1928 to 1934,

superseding those published in previous water-supply papers are given herein. Revised 

figures of dally discharge for those years are published in Bulletin 6 of the Virginia 

Conservation Commission, Division of Water Resources and Power. The records of discharge from April 1923 to September 1927 as published in Water-Supply Papers 582, 602, 

622, and 642 are not in need of revision, except that the discharge per square mile and 

runoff In Inches from April 1923 to September 1925 should have been computed on basis of 

2,420 Instead of 2,350 square miles. Recent studies indicate that the revision of the 

records referred to in Water-Supply Papers 802 (p. 42) and 872 (p. 357) should not have 

been made for the period April 1923 to September 1927.

96 ROANOKE RIVER BASIN

Roanoke River at Roanoke Rapids, N.-C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°28'15", long. 77°38'05". l* miles downstream 

rrom state highway bridge at Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County. Datum of gage is 43.79 

feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary water-stage recorder at bridge 

on U. S. Highway 301, 3.4 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage Is 16.06 feet 

above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 8,410 square miles.

Records available.- February 1930 to September 1943. December 1911 to December 1932 at 

site 9 mnes upstream, published as Roanoke River at Old Gaston.

Average discharge.- 31 years (1912-43), 8,311 second-feet.

Extremes - Maximum discharge during year, 53,500 second-feet Feb. 7; maximum gage height, 

ib.30 feet Feb. 9; minimum discharge, 1,740 second-feet Sept. 17, 19 (gage height, 2.54 

feet); minimum dally, 1,800- second-feet Sept. 19.

1911-43: Maximum discharge, 261,000 second-feet Aug. 18, 1940 (gage height, 39.0 

feet, from floodmarks); minimum, 458 second-feet Sept. 21, 1932 (gage height, 1.25 

feet); minimum dally, 472 second-feet Sept. 21, 1932.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those below 3,000 second-feet, which are good. Dlurnai fluctuation at low flow caused by power plant above station. Discharge during 

floods computed by using submergence as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor.

C°rrecti6n.- The total second-foot-days for the calendar year 1941 has been corrected to 

1,912,910, superseding erroneous figure published In Water Supply Paper 952.

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

Roanoke River near Scotland Neck, N. C.

97

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°12'30", long. 77°23'10", at bridge on U. S. Hlgh- 

 way Ub8, 1 mile downstream from tributary on right, 3 miles downstream from Brldgers 

Creek, and 5f miles north of Scptland Neck, Halifax County. Auxiliary water-stage 

recorder at Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge 8i miles downstream. Datum of each 

gage Is 5.77 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of

Drainage area.- 8,700 square miles.

Records available.- August 1940 to September 1943. July 1896 to May 1903 at site of

 auxiliary gage, at different datum, published as Roanoke River at Neal.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 39,900 second-feet Feb. 10; maximum gage height,

 31.bi feet Feb. 10; minimum discharge, 1,820 second-feet Sept. 20.

1940-43: Maximum discharge, 260,000 second-feet Aug. 19, 1940; maximum gag'e height, 

41.98 feet Aug. 19, 1940; minimum discharge, 1,200 second-feet Oct. 16, 1941.

Maximum stage observed during period June 1930 to July 1940, 35.1 feet Jan. 24, 

1936 (from unpublished U. S. Weather Bureau records adjusted to present datum). The 

following data on major floods (adjusted to present gage datum) were furnished by 

State Highway Commission: 1877, about 37.8 feet; March 1918, 36.8 feet; 1919, 34.9 

feet; 1924, 32.9 feet.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

gage as a factor.

PAMLICO RIVER BASIN 133

Tar River near Tar River, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 36°12', long. 78°34', at bridge 

on state Highway 96, 1J miles upstream from Fishing Creek, 2$ miles east of town of 

Tar River, Granvllle County, and 8 miles south of Oxford.

Drainage area.- 161 square miles.

Records available.- November 1939 to September 1943.

Extremes.- 1939-40: Maximum discharge during period November 1939 to September 1940, 5,550

 second-feet May 25 (gage height, 11.9 feet, from partly estimated gage-height graph); 

minimum, 4.8 second-feet sometime during period Aug. 4-12 (gage-height, 0.77 foot).

1940-41: Maximum discharge during year, 3,930 second-feet Nov. 15 (gage height, 

10.14 feet); minimum, 1.3 second-feet Sept. 22, 27, 28 (gage height, 0.61 foot).

1942-43: Maximum discharge during year, 3,220 second-feet Apr. 20 (gage height, 9.18 

feet); minimum about 1 second-foot at times In August and September.

1939-43: Maximum discharge that of May 25, 1940; minimum, 0.2 second-foot Nov. 9-22, 

1941.

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

 are fair, and those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. City of 

Oxford diverts about 0.5 second-foot for Its water supply.

Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge for the period Nov. 8, 1939, to Sept. 30, 1941,

 superseding those published in Water-supply Papers 892 and 922, are given herein.

It miles downstream from Seaboard Railway bridge and 2 miles south of Northslde, 

Oranvllle County. Datum of gage Is 226.32 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps 

of Engineers, u. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 526 square miles.

Records available.- July 1927 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 16 years, 520 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,280 second-feet Apr. 20 (gage height, 17.77 

reetj; maximum gage height, 17.90 feet Apr. 21; minimum discharge, 12 second-feet 

Sept. 6 (gage height, 1.09 feet).

1927-43: Maximum discharge, 26,600 second-feet Oct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 28.64 

feet), from rating curve extended above 8,000 second-feet: minimum, 3.1 second-feet 

Sept. 20, 1932 (gage height, 0.87 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of backwater or fragmentary or no gageneignt record, which are poor. Discharge for periods of changing stage usually 

computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor. Moderate diurnal fluctuation 

caused by power plants above station. Low flow slightly regulated by Durham Reservoir. 

For diversion, see "Flat River at dam, near Bahama. 1'

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

nearby stations.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
NEUSE RIVER BASIN 

Contentnea Creek near Wilson, N. C.

149

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°41'15", long. 77°56'50", at bridge on U. S. 

Hignway 301, Just downstream from municipal power plant, 1 mile upstream from 

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge, and 3 miles southwest of Wilson, Wilson County.

Drainage area.- 236 square miles.

Records available.- February 1930 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 13 years, 344 second-feet.

Extremes .- Maximum discharge during year, 3,430 second-feet Oct. 17 (gage height, 11.03-- 

reet); minimum, 0.3 second-foot sometime during period Aug. 20 to Sept. 21.

1930-43: Maximum discharge, 4,830 second-feet Aug. 17, 1940 (gage height, 13.80 

feet); minimum, about 0.2 second-foot Oct. 6-15, 1932, Nov. 24 to Dec. 26, 1933. 

Maximum stage known, about 24.3 feet In September 1924.

Remarks.- Records good, except those for periods of fragmentary or no gage-height

record, which are poor. Extreme diurnal fluctuation and considerable regulation for 

short periods during low flow caused by municipal power plant above station. City 

of Wilson diverts an average of 2.0 second-feet above station for municipal supply.

a No gage-height record; discharge based on Buckhorn Shoals power-plant records and records for 

Cape Pear River near Tarheel and for other nearby stations.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN 155

Cape Fear River at lock 3, near Tarheel, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder 100 feet above concrete dam and lock, lat. 34°50'00", 

long. 78°4S'30", 1 mile downstream from county line and 7 miles north of Tarheel, 

Bladen County. Datum of gage is 29.75 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary water-stage recorder in lower pool, 600 feet downstream at same datum; prior to Jan. 14, 1943, a staff gage at same site and datum.

Drainage area.- 4,810 square miles.

Records available.- October 1937 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 39,700 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 20.01 

feet); maximum-gage height, 20.42 feet July 15; minimum discharge, 454 second-feet 

Sept. 19 (gage height, O>74 foot).

1937-43: Maximum gage height observed, 24.0 feet July 28, 1938 (discharge not 

determined); minimum discharge, 200 second-feet Oct. 20, 1940 (gage height, 0.42 foot).

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

submergence was determined from graph based on twice-daily readings of auxiliary staff 

gage, which are fair. Discharge for periods when gage heights are above 6.0 feet computed by using submergence of dam and lock as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor. 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation and som^ regulation for short periods at low flow 

caused by power plants above station.

Maximum stage known, 22.1 feet (present datum) In July 1916, from floodmarks, from 

records by Tallassee Power Co. (discharge uncertain: figure previously published 

believed to be too high).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,200 second-feet, which are fair. Large 

diurnal fluctuation caused by High Rock Power Plant above station. Flow largely regulated since Nov. 7, 1927 by High Rock Reservoir, which has a usable capacity for 

normal operation of 10,230,000,000 cubic feet.

Previously published records for this station are occasionally subject to error, 

owing to faulty or no gage-height record and a rating curve which was extended above 

26,000 second-feet and giving results considerably larger than present rating.

Cooiteration.- High Rock Reservoir capacity curve and elevations furnished by Carolina

Drainage area.- 6,330 square miles.

Records available.- February 1938 to January 1943 (discontinued).

igxtreries.- Maximum discharge during period, 57,800 second-feet Jan. 29; maximum gage 

Height, 24.70 feet Jan. 29; minimum discharge, 215 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 26 

(gage height, 5.15 feet); minimum daily, 446 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 25. 

1938-43: Maximum discharge, 78,700 second-feet Aug. 16, 1940; maximum gage height, 

28.27 feet Aug. 17, 1940; minimum discharge, 60 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 10, 1941 

(gage height, 4.70 feet); minimum daily, 94 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 9, 1941.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 600 second-feet and those for periods of no 

gage-height record, which are fair. Rate of change of stage and change in channel 

storage are frequently factors in computing the discharge. Flow largely regulated by 

three reservoirs above station which have a combined usable capacity of 17,338,000,000 

cubic feet.

reet); minimum, 182 second-feet Sept. 6 (gage height, 0.69 foot); minimum dally, 211

second-feet Sept. 12.

1927-43: Maximum discharge, 212,000 second-feet Sept. 19, 1928 (gage height, 25.38

feet), from rating curve extended above 110,000 second-feet; minimum, 148 second-feet

Jan. 5, 1942 (gage height, 0.40 foot); minimum dally, 152 second-feet July 28, 1940. 

Maximum stage known, 31.28 feet sometime in 1908, from State Highway Department

records. 

Remarks.- Records good. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station.

^low largely regulated by four reservoirs above station which have a combined usable

storage capacity for normal operation of 17,638,000,000 cubic feet. 

Cooperation.- Capacity curves and elevations for High Rock and Narrows Reservoirs

rurnisnea by Aluminum Company of America and those for Tillery and Blewett Reservoirs

258 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN

Augusta Canal near Augusta, Oa.

Location.- Two water-stage recorders near upper end of Augusta Canal. Lower gage, lat. 

33"30'50", long. 82°00'15", 1.6 miles northwest of Augusta, Richmond County, and 4.6 

miles downstream from Stevens Creek power dam; auxiliary gage,-1,000 feet downstream 

from diversion dam and 3.4 miles upstream from lower gage. Datum of each gage is 

46.58 feet above city of Augusta datum or 148.92 feet (revised) above mean sea level, 

datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Records available.- November 1930 to September 1943. 

Average discharge.- 12 years, 2,561 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,820 second-feet Mar. 17; minimum daily, 

ioo second-feet Feb. 21, 22, June 6.

1930-43: Maximum daily discharge, 3,980 second-feet May 21, 1942; no flow Apr. 8 

to May 10, 1936.

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

are fair. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage 

recorder as a factor. Canal diverts water from Savannah River at dam 1 mile downstream from Stevens Creek Dam for power and municipal supply. Waste water from powerhouses returned to river by three channels above Thirteenth Street Bridge. Water is 

pumped from canal for municipal supply of Augusta, and a small amount entering 

Beaverdam ditch is discharged into river about 13 miles below Augusta.

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

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of gage readings at auxiliary gage and records 

for station at Gainesville.

e Slope relation indefinite; discharge computed on basis of records for station at Gainesville. 

Time basis; Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
446 MOBILE RIVER BASIN

Tombigbee River near Coatopa, Ala.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 32°26', long. 88°02', In sec. 19, T. 17 N., R. 1 

£., at Moscow Memorial Bridge on U. S. Highway 80, 2 miles upstream from Sucarnoochee 

River and 5 miles southeast of Coatopa. Navigation dam at lock 3, 10 miles downstream, Is control at low stages. Datum of gage is 29.30 feet above mean sea level, 

datum of 1929 (Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, bench mark). Auxiliary gages are upper 

and lower staff gages at lock 3 at different datum.

Drainage area.- 15,500 square miles.

Records available.- August 1928 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 20,530 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year 103,000 second-feet Mar. 26; maximum gage height, 

45.4 reet Mar. 27; minimum dally discharge, 928 second-feet Sept. 1; minimum gage 

height, 1.70 feet (result of unusual lock manipulation) Aug. 27.

1928-43: Maximum discharge observed, 179,000 second-feet Mar. 29, 1929 (gage height, 

51.4 feet); minimum dally, 382 second-feet Oct. 1, 1931; minimum gage height, that .of 

Aug. 27, 1943.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of indefinite stage-discharge relation, 

wnicn are fair. Discharge above about 12,500 second-feet computed by using relationship between gage heights at recorder and auxiliary staff gages as a factor. Auxiliary 

gages read at least once dally.

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

Drainage area.- 19,100 square miles.

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 24,850 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 113,000 second-feet Mar. 29-31 (gage height, 

39.7 reet); minimum daily, 936 second-feet (result of crest-gate manipulation) Aug. 27. 

1928-43: Maximum discharge, 192,000 second-feet Apr. 10, 1938; maximum gage height, 

46.0 feet Apr. 2, 1929; minimum daily discharge not determined, figure of 50 secondfeet previously published believed too- low.

Remarks.- Records good above 6,000 second-feet, fair below. Discharge between 20,000 

ana 72,000 second-feet computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor. Discharge below 13,000 second-feet determined by using number of gates raised on crest 

of dam as a factor. Some regulation at low flow by lock and dam. Gage read twice 

daily.
