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

1937

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

flow made on streams In the United States during the water year ending September 30, 1937. 

The work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies relating to Irrigation. 

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,800 points In the united States and 

also at many points In Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1937, 3,380 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. 

Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 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. Acknowledgments for 

cooperation of the first kind are made In connection with the description of each station 

affected; cooperation of the second kind Is acknowledged on page 9.

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" la an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot Is a rate 

of flow of 1 cubic foot per second, or the rate of discharge of water flowing In a channel 

when the cross-sectional area Is 1 square foot and the average velocity Is 1 foot per 

second.

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

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 ..filch an area would be covered If all the water 

flowing 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', equivalent to 43,550 cubic feet, Is the quantity required to cover an 

acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term Is commonly usec1 In connection with storage for 

Irrigation.

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

84 hours.

"Stage-discharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage nelght to 

discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel cr 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the

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 gage heights and discharge 

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

1
2 ACCURACY OF FIELJ3 DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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 gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge 

measurements. The application of the dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally discharge from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge Is computed.

The data presentee1 for each gaging station In the area covered by this report usually 

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 except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope 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. Information under "Extremes" gives 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, and also the minimum discharge If useful; and the minimum gage height except when It Is of no Importance, unless otherwise 

qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage obtained bv use of a 

water-stage recorder or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the 

minimum represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualifiedThe table of dally discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, 

the discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readIngs of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not Indicate the true mean dally discharge, Which mu<5t be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, 

an Instrument for obtaining the mean dally discharge from a continuous gag^-helght graph 

and coitalnlng as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

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

for each month of the discharge given In the table of dally discharge. Th? column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge and not the discharge When the water surface 

was at crest height. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quant It;' given Is the 

minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" Is the average flow in cubic feet per 

second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation of stage, measur3ments of flow, 

and Interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement under "Remarks" In regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" Indicates that, In general, the dally records are

In error not more than 5 percent; "good", not more than 10 percent; "fair", not more than 

15 percent; and "poor", over 15 percent.

The monthly means of any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing past the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth 

In Inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the Inclusion of large noncontrlbuting 

districts In the measured drainage area, by lack of Information concerning water diverted 

for Irrigation or other use, or by Inability to Interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off In Inches" are therefore not computed If such errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas In which the annual 

rainfall Is less than 20 Inches.

Many gaging stations on streams In the Irrigated areas of the United Spates are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and 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 gives a general Idea of the flow at the station. The 

table of dally discharge allows more detalljed studies of the variation In flow. It 

should be borne In mind, however, that the observations In each succeeding year nay be 

expected to throw new light on data previously published, and that greate~ degrees of refinement In computations and records may be warranted with Increased data and use of Improved equipment.

The foregoing table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on 

surface water supply published from 1899 to 1937. The data for any particular station 

will, In general, be found In the reports covering the years during wl-lch the station was 

maintained. For example, the data from 1910 to 1920 for any station In the area covered 

by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 38?, 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 In the same relative order as the regular gaging stations. An Index 

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

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

various areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. These 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 tatle gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports, arranged In alphabetical order by States and 

drainage basins.

Note.- Records for stationa listed in above table were collected by Oregon State engineer: 

those for 1915-24 published in State engineer Bulletin No. 7, those for 1925-3C, in Bulletin 

No. 8, and those for 1931-36 (some up to December 1936), in Bulletin No. 9; these for 1937 not 

published. Records on numerous canals have also been collected by the Oregon State engineer 

and TJ. S. Bureau of Reclamation in connection with operation of irrigation projects.

COOPERATION

The work in the two States was done under cooperative agreements as follows: In 

Oregon, with the State engineer, Charles E. Strlcklin; in Washington, with the Department or Conservation and Development, J. B. Fink, director, and Charles J. Bartholet, 

supervisor of hydraulics.

Acknowledgments are also due to the Corps of Engineers, United States Anny, and 

United States Weather Bureau for financial assistance in collecting records published 

herein.

Assistance in collecting records was also rendered by the following municipalities, 

organizations, corporations and individuals: In Oregon, by Deschutes, Jackson, 

Josephine, and Umatilla Counties; the cities of Eugene, McMinnville, and Portland: The 

California Oregon Power Co., Pacific Power & Light Co., and Portland General Electric 

Co., in Washington, by Backus-rirooks Co., Inland Power & Light Co., -ind Northwestern 

Electric Co.

DIVISION OF WORK

The data for the stations in Oregon were collected and prepared for publication 

under the supervision of G. H. Canfield, district engineer, the work being done in 

collaboration with Charles E. Stricklln, State engineer; in Washington, under the 

supervision of G. L. Parker, district engineer.

20 UMATILLA RIVER BASIN

Principal diversions from Umatllla River between Pendleton and Umatllla, Oreg.

Furnish Canal diverts from right bank of Umatilla River In sec. 36, T. 3 N., R. 

29 E. Umatllla project feed canal diverts from right bank of Umatllla R'ver In SW£ 

sec. 22, T. 3 N., R. 29 E., to feed Cold Springs Reservoir of Bureau of Reclamation. 

Western Land and Irrigation Co.'s canal diverts from left bank of Umatllla River In NEi 

sec. 21, T. 3 N., R. 29 E.; gage Is 1 mile below intake. Alien Canal diverts from right 

bank of Western Land and Irrigation Co.'s canal half a mile below headgate of that canal. 

Maxwell Canal diverts from right bank of Umatllla River In SW$ sec. 28, T. 4 N., R. 28 E., 

and also receives water from Cold Springs Reservoir at times. West Division Main Canal 

diverts from left bank of Umatllla River In SWi sec. 28, T. 5 N., R. 28 E. Brownell 

Canal diverts from right bank of Umatllla River 2 miles below West Division Main Canal 

diversion and 14 miles above mouth of Umatllla River.

Water diverted by all of these canals Is used for Irrigation of lands on both sides 

of Umatllla River near and below Echo, except that diverted by West Division Main Canal, 

which Is applied to lands along Columbia River In vicinity of Irrlgon.

Several smaller canals divert water between Pendleton and Umatllla, but no records for 

them were obtained.

Records are available from March 1926 to September 1937. Records were formerly 

published as "Diversions from Umatllla River between Furnish Reservoir and Umatllla, 

Oreg." Furnish Reservoir is no longer In existence owing to complete sedimentation of 

the reservoir and later removal of the dam. Records for some of the canals were 

published separately prior to 1926.

76 WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIK

Waldo Lake outlet near Oakrldge, Grpg.

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

 12a°03' , in NW-J- sec. 7, T. 21 S., R. 6 E., on artificial outlet channel of Waldo Lake, 

20 miles east of Oakridge. Elevation of water surface of lake and zero of gage are 

about 5,410 feet above mean sea level (Geological Survey topographic mar).

Drainage area.- 30 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, about 37 second-feet, probably during June 2i-

 23, when clock was stopped (gage height from pencil trace, 2.05 feet, Ircluding estimated allowance for effect of seiche); no flow at times. 

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage heights, Feb. 0-8, Apri

 28 to June 30, July 4 to Sept. 20, Sept. 23-27, (computed on basis of recorded range 

of stage, weather records, and discharge of Odell Creek near Crescent) and those below 1 second-foot, which are poor. Seiches on Waldo Lake cause rapid changes In 

stage at gage several times an hcur. Lake outlet was dammed for construction of control Sept. 25, 1936, at noon; no flow from that time until Oct. 2, at noon, when 

water was released. Lake not regulated artificially; a diversion tunnel into head of 

Black Creek, near south end of Iake7 built about 1914, is not used, but there Is some 

unmeasured leakage past control gates, whioh were closed during year.

166 SPRINGS IK THE WALLA WALLA RIVER BASIN, OREGON-WASHIKGTON

Ground-water overflow through numerous springs on the alluvial ran of the Walla Walla 

River near Milton and Freewater, Oreg., amounts to about 50,000 acre-feet a year. During the irrigation season, practically all the overflew Is used to water crops on land 

that is not served by diversions from the river. The water users have a vital interest 

In the amount and variation of ground-water overflow because (1) the acreage of Irrigable land in the basin Is greater than can be watered from the Walla Walla River in 

every year, (2) the variation In spring discharge depends on the range in stream flow 

and the time and place of Irrigation on the upper part of the fan, and (3) the springs 

are fed froji a body of ground water from which irrigation wells also draw a considerable 

supply.

A survey made in May and June, 1933, listed 57 springs or spring groups in the areii^ 

In order to bring abi.ut a more effective use of the available water supply throurl' a 

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

tw-sin, ground-water levels and discharge are being measured periodically at representative wells and at the 18 principal springs or spring groups.

A noteworthy feature of the springs is their occurrence in three parallel zones that 

are concentric about the apex of the alluvial fan. The inner zone Is 3 to 3fc miles 

downstream from Freewater, and extends from the vicinity of Nicholas Spring, which is 

about half a mile east of the Walla Walla River at the McCoy Bridge, to springs in the 

vicinity of Dugger Creek. Within this zone are ful'y three-fourths of the springs in 

the Walla Walla River Basin. The Intermediate and outer spring zones, each of which 

contains only a few springs, are about 2 miles and 4 miles, respectively, b3yond the 

inner zone.

The following table lists the measurements of spring discharge thus far available. 

It indicates that the yearly variation in the discharge of Individual springs is as much 

as 91 percent of the maximum discharge. The average yearly variation has b?en about 58 

percent of the maximum discharge. This variation follows fluctuations in elevation of 

the ground-water table, which in turn depend chiefly upon the height of ground-water 

waves that are created by successive freshets in the Walla Walla River and that pass 

outward through the alluvial fan as the freshets wane. Other fluctuations in elevation 

of the ground-water table are caused by deep infiltration of water applied to the land 

for Irrigation and, in lesser degree, to deep infiltration of rainfall and to pumoage 

from irrigation wells.

years 1932, 1933, 1935-36, and 1936-37
