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, 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 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 commonly used In connection with 

storage for irrigation.

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

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

represents a runoff of 0.0372 Inch from 1 square mile.

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

height and discharge."

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

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

of the channel, or an artificial structure.
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1942, PART 3

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 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 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 notee 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 pa.de 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 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 

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 nonrecordlng 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 nonrecordlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives 

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

of twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the dally mean discharge is determined from 

gage-height gjapns based on gage readings made once or twice dally 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 dally 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 dally 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 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 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 dally 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.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1942, PART 3

February 9 as given herein refers to standard time; time aftiF 2 a.m. February 9 refers 

to war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour,

Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, published herein have been computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date haye beeg eojajjuted 

on the basis of war time. The discharge given for February 9 is the mean for gS haul's., 

The mean discharge and runoff for the month of February have been computed from the fa|a:JL 

second-foot-days for the month without adjustment for the fact that February 9 wa§ 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 stagidischarge 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 te the general aegyrasy of the 

records. "Excellent" Indicates that, in general, the dally reeordg ar§ accurate withlft 

5 percent; "good," within 10 percent; "fair," within 15 percent; and 'poor,* within 26 QF 

a. higher percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff are, in 

general, more accurate than the daily records.

Yield at some stations as indicated by monthly means may vary widely from natural yi«J4, 

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 of reservoirs or for other 

changes incident to use and control. 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 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 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. 7), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

stations In the area covered by that report. Gaging statfons at which 10 or more complete years of record have been collected are represented. These summaries are available 

also as separate reprints.

To convert war time to standard time,subtract 1 hour.
3D OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River near Maysvllle, Ky_.

Location.- Water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage, lat. 38°38 l 10n , long. 

SS^'IS", at lock and dam 33, 2.2 miles downstream from Cabin Creek and 3.5 miles 

upstream from Maysville, Mason County. Datum of gage is 452.57 feet above mean sea 

level, Ohio River datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff 

gage at lock and dam 34, 29.0 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage is 445.6 feet 

above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 70,130 square miles at dam 33 (authority, U. S. Weather Bureau). 

Records,available.- January 1939 to September 1942 (fragmentary prior to October 1940).

Extremes.- Maximum discttarge observed during year, 344,000 second-feet Mar. 19 (gage 

height, 44.6 feet); minimum daily discharge, 4,560 second-feet Oct. 3.

1939-42: Maximum discharge observed, 556,000 second-feet Apr. 23, 1940; maximum 

gage height observed, 59.5 feet Apr. 24, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 75.3 feet Jan. 27, 1937 (discharge, 820,000 second-feet, 

estimated).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 20,000 second-feet, which are poor. Discharge 

computed during open-river periods by using fall as determined by four readings daily 

of auxiliary staTr gage as a factor. Discharge computed for slack-water using fall as 

determined by auxiliary recorder as a factor. Base staff gage read four times dally 

during open river.

Cooperation.- Records collected and prepared in cooperation with Corps of Engineers, 

u. s. Army.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 31

Ohio River at Cincinnati, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. SD^S'SS", long. 84°31'25", at Front and Rose 

Streets, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, 1*0 mile downstream from Licking River and 1.2 

miles upstream from Mill Creek. Datum of gage is 428.8 feet above mean sea level, 

Ohio River datum. Auxiliary staff gage at dam 37, 12.0 miles downstream. Datum of 

auxiliary gage is 425.3 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. During 

slack-water periods, discharge determined from water-stage recorder at Southern 

Railway bridge, 1.1 miles downstream from upper gage, with auxiliary water-stage 

recorder 10.6" miles downstream, 0.3 miJLe upstream from dam 37. Datum of each gage is 

425.30 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 76.,580 square-miles, at Cincinnati, including that of Licking River 

(authority, U. S. Weather Bureau).

Records available.- December 1936 to March 1937, October 1937 to September 1948 (fragEientary for some years).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 364,000 second-feet Mar. 20 (gage height, 

45.51 feet); minimum daily, 3,540 second-feet Oct. 1.

1936-42r Maximum discharge, 894,000 second-feet Jan. 26, 1937; maximum gage 

height, 78.8 feet Jan. 25, 26, 1937, site and datum then in use.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 20,000 second-feet and those for periods of 

doubtful or no gage-height record, which are poor. Discharge during open river 

computed by using fall as determined by four readings daily of auxiliary staff gage 

as a factor. Discharge for slack-water periods computed from gage heights from 

water-stage recorder at Southern Railway bridge by using fall as determined by 

auxiliary water-stage recorder, 0.3 mile upstream from dam 37, as a factor.

Cooperation.- Records collected and prepared in cooperation with Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army.

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

Drainage^ area.- 1,040 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1942.

Extremes.- 1939-40 (revised): Maximum discharge/during water year, 10,400 second-feet 

May 5; maximum gage height, 33.83 feet May 1 (affected by backwater); minimum discharge 

during non-backwater periods, 1.0 second-foot Oct. 14, 15; minimum gage height, 1.03 

feet Oct. 14, 15, Sept. 19, 20.

1940-41: Maximum dischargefdurlne. water year, 3,860 second-feet July 11; maximum gage height, 10.90 feet June 14"Taffected by backwater); minimum discharge during 

non-backwater periods, 1.0 second-foot Sept. 25-28 (gage height, 1.01 feet).

1941-42: Maximum discharge during water year, 12,100 second-feet Apr. 11; maximum 

gage height, 24.75 feet Mar. 24. (affected by backwater); minimum discharge during 

non-backwater periods, 1.4 second-feet Oct. 1 (gage height, 1.03 feet).

on twice-daily gage readings.

Time basis! Central standard time prior to 2 a.m., Feb. 9, 1942; central war time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN 453

Cumberland River at Nashville, Term.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36 009'45n , long. 85°46'17", at Sparkman Street 

Bridge In Nashville, Davldsoh County, 2.7 miles upstream frori lock and dam 1 and 3.3 

miles downstream from Mill Creek. Datum of gage is 368.17 feet above mean sea level, 

Sandy Hook Datum. Prior to Oct. 1, 1939, staff gage at site 700 feet downstream. 

Auxiliary gage is upper staff gage at lock 1. Datum of auxiliary gage is 367.83 feet 

above mean sea level, Sandy Hook Datum.

Drainage area.- 12,860 square miles.

Records available.- January J.902 to December 1904 (gage heights only) and October 1918 to 

September 1942 in reports of Geological Survey. October 1887 to September 19S4 in 

Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34. Records prior to October 1892 subject to 

error due to uncertainty of gage datum.

Average discharge.- 55 years (1887-1942), 20,130 second-feet.

Note«- Maximum gage heights are from graphs based on gage 

heights and discharges are observed for water years 1932 to 

generally regulated.

1887-1942: Maximum discharge, 203,000 second-feet Jan. 1, 1927 (gage height, 56.2 

feet); minimum dally, 60 Second-feet (regulated) Oct. 19, 1935; minimum gage height 

observed, 6.1 feet Oct. 19, 1935.

Remarks.- Records excellent for water year 1941-42 and good for water years 1931-39 except 

those for period of crest wicket manipulation at dam 1 or Indefinite stage-discharge 

relation, which are fair. Gage read once dally prior to Oct. 1, 1939. Auxiliary gage 

read twice dally prior to Oct. 1, 1939, and four times dally thereafter.

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graph, auxiliary gage readings, records of wicket 

.manipulation, and eight discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers, U. S-. 

Army. Gage readings prior to Oct. 1, 1939, furnished by U. S. Weather Bureau.

bridge at Clarksville, Montgomery County, li miles upstream from Red River and 18.0 

miles (revised) upstream from lock and dam C. Datum of gage is 330.36 feet above mean 

sea level, datum of 1929. -Auxiliary staff gage at lock and dam C., 18.0 miles (revised) 

downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage Is 336.30 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook 

datum.

Drainage area.- 16,000 square miles (Including that of Red River).

Records available.- October 1922 to September 1923 (gage heights only) and October 1924 

to September 1942 In reports of U. S. Geological Survey. October 1922 to September 

1924 (gage heights only) In Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34. Records Include 

flow of Red River.

Average discharge.- 18 years (1924-42), 23,590 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 87,100 second-feet Apr. 9; maximum gage height, 

34.9 feet Mar. 22, from graph based on gage readings; minimum dally discharge observed, 

449 second-feet Oct. 8, 9, caused by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; 

minimum gage height observed, 15.2 feet July 7.

1924-42: Maximum discharge, 290,000 second-feet Jan. 24, 1937; maximum gage 

height, 65.7 feet Jan. 25, 1937, from floodmark; minimum discharge observed, 323 

second-feet Nov. 23, 1939, caused by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; minimum gage height observed, 12.3 feet Oct. 7, 24, 1935.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of crest wicket^ manipulation, which are 

poor. Gage read once dally and auxiliary gage read four times daily.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for base gage furnished by U. S. yeather Bureau. Gageheight record for auxiliary gage and record of crest wicket manipulations furnished 

by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 517

Tennessee River at Loudpn, Term.

Location.- water-stage recorder, lat. 35°44'33", long. 84019'56", at bridge on U. S. 

Hignway 11, at Loudon, Loudon County, 9f miles downstream from Little Tennessee 

River. Datum of gageis 726.29 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, at Lenoir City, 8f miles 

upstream after Feb. 17, 1942. Datum of auxiliary gage is 725.58 feet above mean sea 

level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 12,220 square miles.

Kecorai available.- October 1922 to September 1942. Gage-height records collected in 

same vicinity since 1684 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 20 years (1922-42), 18,390 eecond-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 52,800 second-feet May 22; maximum gage height, 

20.09 feet Mar. 9: minimum discharge recorded, 2,640 second-feet Oct. 28 (gage height, 

1.90 feet).

1922-42: Maximum discharge, 169,000 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 25.75 

feet); minimum, 2.190 second-feet Sept. 12, 1925 (gage height, 0.82 foot, site and 

datum then J.n use;.

Flood of Mar. 5, 1917, reached a stage of 32.9 feet, present site and datum (discharge, 225,000 second-feet, from rating curve extended above 151,000 second-feet). 

U. S. Weather Bureau reports stages of 49.7 feet Mar. 10 or 11, 1867, 42.7 feet 

Feb. 27, 1875, and 34.9 feet Mar. 31, 1886, present site and datum. Flood of Mar. 31, 

1886, may have reached a higher stage; no readings obtained that year after Mar. 31.

Remarks.- Records excellent until February 16 and good thereafter. After February 16, 

aiscnarge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as 

a factor. Flow regulated by power plants and by Cheoah, Santeetlah, Calderwood and 

two other reservoirs having a combined usable capacity of 318,700 acre-feet; after 

December 5 by Cherokee Reservoir. (See p. 565.)

auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow regulated by power plants and 

storage at Cherokee, Norris, watts Bar, Chatuge, Nottely, Hlwassee, Blue Ridge, 

Parksville, and Chickamauga Reservoirs; and also Cheoah, Santeetlah, Calderwood 

and two other reservoirs having a combined usable capacity of 318,700 acre-feet.

auxiliary gage~Is 400.00 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area,.- 30,310 square miles.

Records available.- November 1871 to September 1894 (gage height only), October 1894 to 

September i»4a.

Average discharge.- 48 years (1894-1942). 50,450 second-feet.

Extremes.- tfaxunum discharge during year, 138,000 second-feet (regulated) Mir. 22;

 maximum gage height, 18.13 feet Mar. 22; minimum daily discharge, 6,100 second-feet

(regulated) Dec. 25.

1871-1942: Maximum discharge observed, 444,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1897 (gage,

height, 32.5 feet), from rating curve extended above 320,000 second-feet; minimum,

2,400 second-feet Oct. 8, 1925 (gage height, -3.0 feet) caused by filling of Wilson

Reservoir. Remarks.- Records good. Discharges computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary

 waCer-stage recorder as a factor except those below about 25,000 second-feet, which 

were computed on basie of records for power plant at Wilson Dam. Flow regulated by 

power plants and storage at Cherokee, Norris, Watts Bar, Chatuge, Nottely, Hlwassee, 

Blue Ridge, Parksville, Cliickanauga, Hales Bar, Guntersville, Wheeler, and Wilson 

Reservoirs, and also, Cheoah, Santeetlah, Calderwood, and two other reservoirs having a combined usable capacity of 318,700 acre-feet.
