SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF LOWER MISSISSIPPI 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 7,200 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 ana tne 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-fe^t" Is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot is the 

rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel when the cross-sectional area is 1 square 

toot and the 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 run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which 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 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity- required to cover an 

acre to the depth of 1 foot. 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.

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

discharge."

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

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 FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

from direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a 

continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. Typical 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 daily gage height to these rating tables gives the 

daily discharge from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

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

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. Skeleton rating tables are published -except for those stations whose daily 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 

daily 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 by use of a 

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

minimum represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualified.

The table of daily discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecording 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 givps the 

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

daily gage height may not indicate the true mean daily discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for intervals of the day or by using the discharge integrator, 

an instrument for obtaining the 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 "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the discharge given in the table of daily 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.

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, 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 daily 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 depth 

in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

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 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 station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow 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, and that greater 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 which 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, 383, 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 table gives the 

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

drainage basins.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER MAIN STEM 13 

Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau, Mo.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°18'06", long. 89°31'05", at downstream end of 

concrete sea wall 400 feet below St. Louis-San Francisco Railway station at Cape 

Girardeau and 52 miles above mouth of Ohio River. Zero of gage Is 304.65 feet above 

mean sea level (general adjustment of 1929) and 304.43 feet above mean Gulf level.

Drainage area.- 716,000 square miles (authority, Mississippi River Commission).

Records available.- March 1933 to September 1937. Dally gage heights have been pubiisnea in reports of Mississippi River Commission since May 1896, in reports of 

U. S. Weather Bureau from February 1891 to February 1894 and since December 1904.

Results of discharge measurements made intermittenly since 1903 by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army, and Mississippi River Commission at Thebes, 6 miles downstream, and referred to Cape Girardeau gage are contained In reports of those 

organizations.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 420,000 second-feet May 7 (gage height, 30.36 

reet;: minimum, 43,900 second-feet Dec. 26 (gage height, 6.25 feet).

1933-37: Maximum discharge, 623,000 second-feet June 10, 1935; maximum gage height 

36.26 feet June 11, 1935; minimum discharge, 38,700 second-feet Aug. 29. 1936 (gage 

height, 5.62 feet). 6 6

Maximum stage known, 42.53 feet July 4, 1844.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Discharge computed by slope method using the slope as 

determined by auxiliary staff gages at Moccasin Springs and Grays Point, Mo. Gageheight records for auxiliary gages furnished by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. 

Stage-discharge relation occasionally affected by backwater from the Ohio River. 

Thirteen discharge measurements were made during year.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 29°57', long. 90°10', In T. 13 S., R. 10 E. St 

weiena meridian, at Huey P. Long Bridge, 5 miles west of New Orleans and 126 miles 

(revised) above mouth of Mississippi River* Zero of gage is at mean Gulf level, 

referred to U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey general adjustment of 1934, and 0.15 

foot below mean Gulf level, referred to datum of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army.

Drainage area.- 1,243,600 square miles (from reports of Mississippi River Commission). 

Includes all of drainage area above New Orleans, La.

Records available.- November 1934 to September 1937 (gage heights only). Dally gage 

neignts from gage of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, Si miles (revised) downstream, 

published in reports of Mississippi River Commission since 1871. Dally gage heights 

from U. S. Weather Bureau gage at foot of Canal Street, 11 miles downstream, May 1873 

to December 1922, and those from gage of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, 2% miles 

(revised) downstream, since January 1923 published In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. 

Discharge for 1851, 1852, and intermittent periods since 1879 contained In reports of 

Mississippi River Commission.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height during year, 19.28 feet Mar. 1; minimum, 0.55 foot Dec. 12. 

IS34-37: Maximum gage height, that of Mar. 1, 1937; minimum, that of Dec. 12, 1936. 

Maximum gage height observed, 21.3 feet Apr. 25, 1922; minimum, -1.6 feet Dec. 27, 

1872. Both maximum and minimum observations were made 2i miles (revised) downstream on 

gage-of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, with zero 0.13 foot below mean Gulf level 

(datum of Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army). This gage reads practically the same as 

that of the Geological Survey below 19.0 feet and a maximum of 0.10 foot lower above 

9 feet.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Gage heights Jan. 29 to Mar. 17, affected by diversions 

through Bonnet Carre floodway, 22 miles above. Gage heights below about 15.0 feet 

affected by tide, which caused diurnal fluctuations of stage.

Gage height at 8 a. In feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

of 6.4 feet. Above stage of 13 feet Ditches 66 and 66-A unite in the vicinity of 

the gage forming one stream. For the purpose of determining the discharge of each, 

the division between the two ditches is taken as the top of the bank that separates 

them during low stages.

ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN 119

Cottonwood River at Cottonwood Falls, Kans.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 38°22', long. 96°31', in NEJ sec. 28, T. 19 S., R. 

8 E., 1 mile east of Cottonwood Falls and 3i miles above mouth of South Fork.

Drainage area.- 1,444 square miles.

Records available.- February 1935 to September 1937. April 1932 to February 1935 at site 

in Cottonwood Falls.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6,570 second-feet Feb. 8 (gage height, 9.58 

feet), from rating curve extended above 2,500 second-feet; minimum, 5 second-feet Aug. 

19 (gage height, 1.75 feet).

1932-37: Maximum discharge observed, 11,800 second-feet July 6, 1932 (gage height, 

20.92 feet, former site and datum); minimum, 1 second-foot Aug. 15 to Sept. 13, 1934,

Remarks.- Records good except those for days for which recorder graph was incomplete, Feb. 

10, 11, and those for period of backwater effect from South Fork of Cottonwood River, 

Sept. 6-8, which were computed from effective gage-height graph based on auxiliary gage 

readings at former station, observer's notes, and weather records, and are poor. Backwater sometimes occurs during flashy peaks on South Fork of Cottonwood River.

Rating bable, water year 1936-37 (gage height, in feet, and discharge, in nd-feet)
