SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF PACIFIC SLOPE 

BASINS IN WASHINGTON AND UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN, 1932

AUTHORIZATION AND 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 year ending September 30, 1932.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat. L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geological Survey and the classification of public lauds and examination of the 

geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carr'ed the 

following items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water reso-irces.

In the execution of the work many private and State 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 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,590 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the 

Hawaiian Islands. In July 1932, 2,790 gaging stations were being

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

other points. In connection with this work, data were also collected 

in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water power in many sections of the country and will be 

made available in water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity of 

water, as rim-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. 

The principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, 

second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. They 

may be defined as follows:

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

second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel of 

rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

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

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards time and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which an area we Mid be covered 

if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly 

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. Th^ term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation", an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control", a term used to designate the natural section or stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 12 A 6 

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1, 1931, and ending September 30, 1932. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in 

the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or in 

ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this stored

and staff gages, cable, and car.

water passes off in the streams during the spring break-up. At the 

end of September, on the other hand, the only stored water available 

for run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the 

run-off for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived 

from precipitation within that year.

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

measurements of discharge, and general information used to supple-
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 12 A

ment the gage heights and discharge measurements in determining the 

daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a staff or chain gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives 

a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge 

arc made with a current meter by the general methods outlined in 

standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge. A typical 

gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, is shown in figure 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from 

the discharge measurements. The application of the daily gage 

height to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from wyhich 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 

this report comprise a description of the station, a table showing the 

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

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum recorded discharges, and the accuracy of the records. The maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent the crest 

discharge unless a water-stage recorder was in operation or a nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.

The table of daily discharge gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the daily gage height, wy hich may be a 

once-daily reading or the mean of twice-daily readings of a nonrecording gage or the mean daily gage height obtained from a wy ater-stage 

recorder graph.

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily 

gage height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such 

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular intervals 

during the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument 

for obtaining mean daily discharge from a continuous gage-height 

graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the 

station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the maximum daily discharge, and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily discharge. 

The column headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet per 

second during the month. On this average flow are based computations recorded in the remaining columns, which are denned on page 2.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 12 A 5 

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on tlis permanence of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of 

observation 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 records are 

accurate within 5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; "fair", within 

15 percent; and "poor", within 20 percent or more.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and run-off in inches may be subject 

to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontri' uting 

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.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the f ow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies 

of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, that 

the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the 

United States 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 

stations must first be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geo^gical 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs and 

annual reports.

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 irade 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 reports containing records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage bairns, the numbers of the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 

1932. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by Part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 

303, 323, 358, 383, 403, 433,453,473, and 503, which contain records 

for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

Reclamation, United States Forest Service, United States Indian 

Service, and United States Weather Bureau.

Full cooperation exists between this organization and the Dominion 

Water Power and Hydrometric Bureau, Department of the Interior, 

Canada. On waters adjacent to the international boundary certain 

stations are maintained jointly by the United States and Canada 

under the terms of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, and others 

are maintained under a subsequent agreement between the two 

Governments. The records from all these stations ar-^ obtained in 

such a manner as to be equally acceptable and available in either 

country. These stations are herein designated international gaging 

stations.

intake of Seattle water-supply system at Landsberg.

DRAINAGE AREA. 136 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 1914 to September 1932.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 4,860 second-feet Feb. 26 (gage 

height, 5.9 feet); minimum not determined.

1914-32: Maximum discharge, 7,500 second-feet Dec. 29, 1917 (gage 

height, 13.55 feet); minimum, 162 second-feet Oct. 15, 1914. Discharge

diversion. Flow partly controlled by storage and release of water at Cedar 

Lake Reservoir.

UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN t i

KOOTENAI RIVER AT BONNERS FERRY, IDAHO

LOCATION. Wire gage in NEK sec. 27, T. 62 N., R. 1 E., on highway bridge at 

Bonners Ferry. Zero of gage is 1,743.005 feet above mean sea level, United 

States Coast and Geodetic Survey datum.

DRAINAGE AREA. 13,000 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 1927 to September 1932. May to October 1904 

at point three quarters of a mile downstream. Gage heights collected by 

United States Weather Bureau May 1904 to September 1927.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 74,700 second-feet May 23; maximum water-surface elevation, 1,770.52 feet June 17; minimum discharge, 

2,080 second-feet Jan. 16; minimum water-surface elevation, 1,742.35 feet 

Feb. 25.

1927-32: Maximum discharge, 82,800 second-feet May 25, 1928; maximum 

water-surface elevation, 1,772.78 feet May 28, 29, 1928; minimum discharge, 

that of Jan. 16, 1932; minimum water-surface elevation, 1,741.14 fee* Dec. 5, 

1929.

Maximum elevation known, 1,777.2 feet in June 1894.

REMARKS. Records of discharge good except for December, January, and 

February, which are fair. Gage-height records reliable. Because backwater 

from Kootenai Lake made it impossible to rate the station by results of 

current-meter measurements, discharge was obtained by combining records 

collected on Kootenai River at Katka, Moyie River at Eileen, Cow Creek 

near Bonners Ferry, and a small amount of estimated inflow. No allowance 

was made for time interval below Katka, which varies from about 2 to 5 

hours, depending on stage and slope of river. Record of daily discharge is 

closely checked by frequent discharge measurements made \/z l miles downstream. No diversions or artificial regulation above station.

84 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1932, PART 12 A

KOOTENAI RIVER AT PORT HILL, IDAHO

(International gaging station)

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder in SW% sec. 8, T. 65 N., R. 1 W., 300 feet 

south of international boundary at Port Hill. Zero of gage is 1,700.00 feet 

above mean sea level, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey datum. To 

correct records to agree with datum of Geodetic Survey of Ci.nada, 1928 adjustment, 0.20 foot should be subtracted.

DRAINAGE AREA. 13,700 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May to July 1904; October 1927 to September 1932. 

Gage-height records collected by Dominion Water Power and Hydrometric 

Bureau, Department of the Interior, Canada, from October 1924 to September 1927 at same site.

EXTREMES. Maximum mean daily discharge during year, 77,200 second-feet 

May 23; maximum water-surface elevation, 1,761.37 feet Jure 18; minimum 

mean daily discharge, 2,210 second-feet Nov. 30; minimum water-surface 

elevation, 1,739.84 feet Feb. 20.

1928-32: Maximum discharge, 83,000 second-feet May 27, 28, 1928; 

maximum water-surface elevation, 1,763.32 feet May 30, 1928; minimum 

discharge, that of Nov. 30, 1931; minimum water-surface elevation, 1,739.32 

feet Jan. 28, 1930.

Maximum elevation known, 1,772.7 feet June 1894.

REMARKS. Discharge records good except those for period of ice effect, Nov. 25 

to Mar. 22, which are fair. Records of water-surface elevations excellent. 

Discharge record includes flow of Boundary Creek and represents entire flow 

passing international boundary. Elevations affected by backwater from 

Kootenai Lake. Daily-discharge record obtained by adding tributary inflow 

to discharges near Copeland. On May 22 dike of Reclamation Farm (adjacent 

to the international boundary, in Canada, and northwest of Port Hill) broke 

about l}i miles west of Port Hill, allowing part of river flow and part of 

normal tributary inflow to pass through break from May 22 to July 15. Estimated discharge through break is included in record of total discharge. This 

station is one of the international gaging stations maintained by the United 

States under agreement with Canada. The international status of the discharge records awaits checking by and formal approval of the Dominion 

Water Power and Hydrometric Bureau.
