MEASUREMENTS AT RIVER STATIONS.1 

KINGS RIVER AT RED MOUNTAIN, CALIFORNIA. 

This river rises on the western slope of the Sie:rra Nevada in Fresno 

County, California. The waters coming from the high catchment basin 

are probably of greater value for irrigation purposes than those of any 

other stream in central California, being used exclusively for the raising of grapes and deciduous fruits in the neighborhood of Fresno, 

Selma, and Hanford. The summer :flow of this river is now entirely 

diverted, and during the dry season of the last few years the scarcity 

of water has worked many hardships. There is a large surplus of 

water in this river in the spring of the year, due to the melting of 

snows, which is now going to waste, and which, if stored in suitable 

reservoirs, would; bring larger areas under cultivation. The mountainous basin of this river has never been systematically explored for 

reservoir sites. Two gaging stations were formerly maintained on 

the river; one at Red Mountain and the other at Kingsburg, California. The station at Red Mountain, established September 3, 1895, is 

located 15 miles east of Sanger, California, and southwest of Red 

Mountain. The station is on what is called "the lower section of No. 

9" of the lumber :flume. It is located at the mouth of the canyon, 

above all diversions. The bed of the stream is of gravel, and few 

changes have been noticed in the cross section since the establishment 

of the station. The results of measurements may be found as follows: 

1896, Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 392; 1897, Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV, page 519; 1898, Twentieth Annual Report, 

Part IV, page 535. The following discharge measurements were made 

under the direction of J. B. Lippincott during 1899:

KINGS RIVER AT KINGSBURG, CALIFORNIA. 

The Southern Pacific Railway Company has maintained gage readings at the railroad bridge 1 mile south of Kingsburg since 1879. 

Attempts have been made in previous years to establish a rating curve 

for this station, but it has been found impossible to do so on account 

of the fluctuations of the water surface caused by the manipulation of 

the head gates of the People's canal, 2 miles below, and also on account 

of the changes in the sandy bed of the river. The railroad company 

has maintained daily gage readings as given on the following page. 

No measurements of discharge were made at this point during 1899.

KERN RIVER NEAR BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA. 

This river issues £rom the southern extremity o£ the Sierra Nevada, 

being formed by the junction o£ the North Fork and the South Fork 

a short distance below Kernville. The run-off £rom this basin is 

notably less than £rom the northern tributaries o£ San Joaquin River, 

which may be due to the £act that a portion o£ the basin is located east 

o£ the main crest o£ the mountains and is therefore protected £rom 

the water-bearing clouds. Most o£ the water o£ Kern River is used 

£or irrigation by the large canals in the southern end o£ San Joaquin 

Valley. The winter waters are in part stored in Buena Vista Lake, 

which was a number o£ years ago converted into a storage reservoir. 

The station was established in 1893 by Mr. Walter James, chie£ 

engineer ·o£ the Kern County Land Company, and is loc3,ted at what 

is known as "the first point o£ measurement," 5 miles above Bakersfield and at the mouth o£ the canyon o£ the river. Meter measurements are taken once a w,eek, and an automatic gage records the 

fluctuations o£ the river heights. · Mr. A. K. Warren, the engineer 

in charge o£ this work £or the Kern County Land Company, attends 

to the measurements with much accuracy and precision, and furnishes 

this office with the final results. The results o£ measurements may be 

found as follows: 1896, Eightee:t;~.th Annual Report, Part IV, page 297;

408 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1899,-PART V. [No.39. 

MOHAVE RIVER AT VICTC>R, CALIFORNIA. 

The headwaters o£ this river have their source on the northern slope 

o£ the Sierra Madre and flow northerly, :finally disappearing in the 

sands of the Mohave Desert. At Victor, a station on the Atchison, 

Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the river passes through a narrow 

gorge, locally known as The Narrows. This place has been under 

investigation as a possible dam site, and soundings for the depth of 

bed rock were made by the United States Geological Survey during 

the season of 1899. The greatest depth of bed rock was found to be 

54 feet. The diamond drill showed the rock to be a :fine granite. .A. 

more detailed account of this exploration will be given in the Twentyfirst Annual Report, Part IV. Above The Narrows the valley broadens 

into a large reservoir site, but as no surveys of it have been made 

the capacity is unknown. In order to determine the amount of water 

available for storage for this reservoir, a gaging station was established 

February 27, 1899. The rod is a 2 by 6 inch timber, bolted to a vertical 

dill on right bank of the river, 600 feet upstream from wagon bridge. 

The bench mark is top of east rail o£ the Santa Fe track, 75 feet south 

o£ center of wagon bridge over track. The zero mark of rod is 12.84 

feet below bench mark. The following measurements of discharge 

were made under the direction of J. B. Lippincott during 1899: 

February 27, gage height, 1 foot; discharge, 44 second-feet. 

May 5, gage height, 0.90 foot; discharge, 32 second-feet. 

June 13, gage height, 0.90 foot; discharge, 25 second-feet. 

July 26, gage height, 0.85 ft;>ot; discharge, 22 second-feet.

LOS ANGELES RIVER AT THE NARROWS, CALIFORNIA. 

This river heads immediately south of Santa Clara River, its various 

tributaries receiving their water supply from the mountains surrounding the San Fernando plains. The river passes out of the lower 

end of the valley through a short gorge known as The Narrows, at 

the lower end of which is located the city of Los Angeles. The 

streams entering San Fernando. Valley have in the past brought 

down immense quantities of sand and gravel from the mountainous 

area, and have thus formed the San Fernando plains. This coarse 

deposit acts as a natural reservoir, absorbing the floods, the water 

gradually appearing lower down. The rainfall of southern California 

has been deficient for the last few years, but the discharge of Los 

Angeles River at The -Narrows has been exceptionally constant; in 

1899 the decrease in discharge being not more than 10 per cent of the 

average. A study of the river has been made by J. B. Lippincott 

for the city of Los Angeles. The flow is of marked constancy, and 

it is believed that the measurements indicate with fair accuracy 

the discharge for the respective months. As in previous reports, 

the discharge measurements for 1899 include the flow of the river 

at bridge No. 2, the main supply ditch at a point opposite, and 

the Glassell tributary. In addition water is diverted for irrigation 

purposes from a point known as Formans Lake to the vicinity of 

Burbank; and also from the development works of the West Los

ARROYO SEC.O, CALIFORNIA. 

This is a small basin draining 21 square miles o£ the Sierra Madre. 

The river issues £rom the mountains ou the west side o£ Pasadena 

Mesa, passes through an opening in a granite spur known as Devils 

Gate, and joins Los Angeles River at Los Angeles. Between the point 

where the water issues £rom the mountain and Devils Gate lies a broad 

river bottom 2 miles in length and composed o£ coarse material. In 

passing over this the water sinks rapidly, diminishing in volume £rom 

the mouth of the canyon to Devils Gate. The following measurements were made at the cable station at the terminal quarries by E. P. 

Dewey and W. B. Clapp in 1899:

SAN GABRIEL RIVER ABOVE AZUSA, CALIFORNIA. 

The drainage basin o£ this river lies on the southern slope o£ the 

Sierra Madre, the watershed being included in Los Angeles County, 

California. The various tributaries join the river before it enters its 

lowest canyon, whence it appears finally on the plain in the vicinity o£ 
CALIFORNIA. 411 

Azusa. The seepage waters of this valley appear lower down in the 

river and finally enter the. Pacific Ocean not far from the mouth of 

Los Angeles River. All of the surplus waters of this stream are now 

used for irrigation purposes. Owing to the numerous diversions, it 

has been difficult to obtain accurate discharge measurements; but during 1898 the San Gabriel Electric Company completed its system, 

and measurements fire now obtained with greater ease and hence with 

greater accuracy. The headworks of this company are located about 

6 miles above the mouth of the canyon; the water is carried along the 

left side by a series of tunnels and conduits, and a head of 400 feet is 

obtained where the electric powet· is generated. Weirs are placed on 

the conduit of the electric company, and the water is measured at this 

point. The capacity of the conduit is 90 second-feet. The season of 

1899 was notable in southern California for the deficiency of rainfall, 

and on six days only was there a surplus of water flowing past the 

gaging station. The following are the dates, with their respective discharges, on which water passed the gaging station in 1899: 

January 11, gage height, 1.18 feet; discharge, 16 second-feet. 

January 12, gage height, 1.08 feet; discharge, 12 second-feet. 

January 13; gage height, 0.90 foot; discharge, 6 second-feet. 

January 14, gage height, 0. 78 foot; discharge, 2 second-feet. 

January 15, gage height, 0. 70 foot; discharge, 1 second-foot. 

October 14, gage height, 1.10 feet; discharge, 13 second-feet. 

From these measurements the following rating table was constructed:

During the rest of the year the entire flow passed through the electric 

company's canal. The gaging station on the main river is located at 

the mouth of the canyon. The equipment consists of a rod, cable, car, 

and tagged wire. Results of measurements may be found as follows: 

1896, Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 405; 1897, Nineteenth 

Annual Report, Part IV, page 528; 1898, Twentieth Annual Report, 

Part IV, page 550. The first of the following tables shows the dates 

in 1898 at which there was water in the main river, together with the 

amount of discharge. The next table shows the combined discharge 

for 1898 of the canals diverting water at the mouth of the canyon. A 

part of this table, from September to December, inclusive, was published in Water-Supply Paper No. 28, page 190; but the data for 
412 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1899,-PART V. [N0.39. 

the previous portion of the year having now been obtained, the entire 

table is here given. Dates in 1899 on which there was water passing the 

gaging station on the main river are given above. Following the table 

of canal discharges for 1898 is a table showing the daily discharge of 

San Gabriel canals for 1899. The total flow of the river is obtained 

by adding the daily discharge for the river to the figures, for the corresponding dates, for the canals.

· This small stream drains the southern slope of the Sierra Madre and 

discharges its waters onto the plains northwest of San Bernardino. 

Although it drains a comparatively small area of 54 square miles, at 

the mouth of the canyon its waters are important for irrigation purposes. Owing to the controversies which have arisen over its diversions, a number of lawsuits for the settlement of the claims have been 

instituted from time to time. A number of measurements of this 

stream at the mouth of the canyon from 1S92 to 1896, inclusive, are 

given below. They are copied from court records of procee<Ungs in 

which the water supply of this creek was involved. These cases were 

tried in the San Bernardino courts by Judge A. W. McKinley. 

The measurements were made by A. H. Koebig and G. 0. Newman, on 

weir"!, and are believed to be accurate.

i Beginning in 1894, measurements of Lytle Creek were also made by 

H. D. Sibley, who was zanjero of the Lytle Creek' canals at that time. 

The measurements were usually: made because :the discharge of the 

stream ·was below ·normal; In the whiter and: spring only the amount 

of water needed1 for irrigation ·was· turned into the ditches, but later in 

the sunimer the entire flow was diverted. These measurements also 

were made over weirs, and are believed to be fairly accurate. · During 

1898 trouble was experienced by miners taking the water from the 

naturid channel and turning it into dry channels, sluice boxes, weirs, 

mill races, etc., thereby causing a loss of from 20 to 25 per cent. of 

the total flow of the creek. Only a portion of these latter diversions 

were returned to the creek. The measurements of Mr. f:)ibley would 

not show the full flow of Lytle Creek at all times, and sometimes show 

less than the full dispharge, for the reasons mentioned above. During 

1899 the amount of water which was diverted into the main canal was 

measured daily by the Anglo-American Canaigre Company, at a weir 

erected near the. head of its cement ditch. The volumes given have 

been occasionally checked by visiting the. canal and making meter 

measurements. .lt .is believed that during 1899 practically· all of the 

water of the str~m was diverted into the canal.

SANTA ANA RIVER AT W ARMSPRINGS1 CALIFORNIA. 

This river has its source on the southern sl()peofthe San Bernardino 

Mountains and flows southerly, appearing lr.·om its canyon 4 miles north 

of Redlands. Its waters are completely used in San Bei:n~J,rdjno Valley. 

At the lower part of the valley the water·appears ligain jn ~he vicinity 

of Rincon, where. the river passes. through a compp;rg,tively narrow 

gorge, and the general direction of the stteam js thence:southwesterly, 

emptying into the Pacific Ocean. · The station, established June, J896, 

is located 5 miles northeast of Mentone, California, tbree-fom;ths of a 

mile below the head works of the Santa Ana canal and opposite the warm 

springs in the canyon. The gage is an inclined timber fastened to a 

large bowlder and posts set in the bank of the river. On October 

16, 1898, owing to some local legal <{Omplications; aif .unusually large 

volume of watei· was turned into the Sarita Ana· canal by the )~ear 

Valley Company. This water· was wasted fro Ill- the canal at __ a_ point 

below the old gage rod, necessitating the establishment of a new gage 

rod upon this stream at ai point below where the waste from the canal 

was turned into the river.· .·The new gage was put in November 9, 1898, 

and since that ·date daily 'obsf'natio:ns have beeri kept on the lower 

gage, which is a 2 by 6 inch tim bet; firmly bolted to a granite cliff 

which forms the left:bank of the rive1:, and is situated 800 feet below 

the mouth of Warmsprings Canyon and 100 feet above a ford on the 

c~tnyon _road. A landslide occurred below-the gage rod April16, 1899, 

which changed the condition of the rating for tbe station. Owing to 

the shifting nature of the stream bed it h~:J,s n()t been possible to construct perfectly· satisfactory rating curves, but the tables as presented 

a're based on the beE~finformation that could be obtained. The record 

is riot considered absolutely correct, but is given as an approximation. 

This river is one of the most difficult streams ip the State of which to 

obtain an accurate. record. The Edison Electri:c·Companydiverts the 

greater portion of the.'water of Santa Ana ]l.iver above the gaging station, but also returns all of itabov~ the station; they; however, allow only 

limited portions of the water to pass· orit 6f their conduits during certain hours of the day, holding back the water for the purpose of obtaining additional power when the greatest demand exists. An effort is 

being made to arrange with this company to obtain a record of the 

number of gates, the sizes of the openings, and the hours at which 

the various wheels are run, in order to more accurately determine the 

volumes of water. The Santa Ana canal, as mentioned above, also 

diverts water from Santa Ana River above the station, but the greater 

part of it is returned to the channel of the stream before passing the 

point of measurement. A portion, as indicated by the measurements 

below, passes down the canal. Results of measurements may be found 

as follows: 1896, Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 411; 1898,

MILL CREEK IN CANYON, CALIFORNIA. 

This stream is one of the larger tributaries of Santa Ana River, 

although on account of its importance for irrigation it is generally 

considered as an independent stream. It rises on the western slope of 

the San Bernardino Mountains, draining the area immediately south 

of the headwaters of Santa Ana .River. Mill Creek appears from its 

canyon about 5 miles east of Redlands. The Crafton Water Company 

diverts all of the water of this creek at the mouth of the canyon, 

particularly in the summer. The water passes over a weir, and the 

volume is therefore determined with considerable accuracy. The 

records have been furnished to this office by Mr. Herbert Garstine, 

president of the Crafton Water Company. They are particularly 

accurate for low-water measurements. This stream is described in 

detail in the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV, page 551. The :first 

table gives the measurements made by S. G. Bennett near the head of 

Crafton zanja in 1899. The second table shows the discharge of Mill 

Creek, as furnished by the Crafton Water Company, at the head of 

Crafton zanja duripg the irrigation seasons of 1897, 1898, and 1899.

DEVELOPED WATER OF SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. 

The streams of the eastern end of San Bernardino Valley are discharged from their mountain canyons on a delta-like formation qf 

gravel and sand,into which the water rapidly .sinks. Apparently a 

dike of impervious material extends across this valley in a northwestsoutheast direction, passing a short distance east of the town of Co1-

ton, Into this body of undergound water numerous development 

works have been projected, and it is this source of supply which fu:r;-

nisl}es water for irrigation, particularly in the neighborhood of Riverside. Observations were instituted in 1898 to determine the total 

output from this underground source, and~ results may be found in the 

Twentieth Annual Report, Part TV, pages 557 and 559. Similar observations were made for the Geological Survey by Mr. K. Sanborn, in 

March, J nne, and August, 1899, in order to discover whether there is 

a difference in output at the end of the rainy season as compared with 

the- end of the dry season, and whether the supply is increasing or 

decre~tsing. The following table gives the three series of measurements in 1899:

TEMESCAL CREEK -NEAR RINCON, CALIFORNIA. 

This stream rises in the extreme southwestern corner of Riverside 

County, California. Its smaller tributaries have their sources on the 

eastern slope of the Santa Ana Mountains. The river flows in a general northerly direction, entering Santa Ana River 21 miles above 

Rincon and just abOve the lower narrows of the Santa Ana. San 

Jacinto River discharges into Lake Elsinore. During years of heavy 

rainfall this lake overflows and the surplus water -finds its way into 

Temescal Creek. During the last few years, however, there has been 

no such discharge from Lake Elsinore. The water of Temescal Creek 

and of its tributary, Coldwater Creek, is used for irrigation in the vicinity of Corona. A series of measurements of Teinescaland Coldwater 

creeks have been made by F. Rolfe, and are given below; The first 

table gives the measurements at the upper pipe line of the Temescal 

Land and Water Company at the. manhole in Rolfe's field; the second 

table shows the discharge of the lower pipe line at Eddy's blacksmith 

shop; the third table is the discharge of the same pipe line near 
426 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1899.-PART V. [No.39. 

Riley's ranch; the fourth table shows the· discharge of· Coldwater 

Creek at its mouth. 

:During the recent dry years there has been no surface flow of Temel?cal Creek. The water flowing in th~ upper pipe line of the Temesc!!-1 Land and Water Company includes the principal part of the flow 

of Coldwater Creek and Temescal Hot Springs, augmented by water 

pumped from wells in Temescal Valley.

CHINO CREEK AT RINCON"; CALIFORNIA. 

San Antonio Creek discharges froni the· southern slope of the Sierra 

Madre onto a larg-e bed of sand and gravel. The underground waters 

percolate slowly to the south, and begin to appear again in the channel 

of what is known as Chino Creek. This creek enters Santa Ana 

River just before the latter stream P,asses through its lower canyon in 

the Coast Range. The discharge of Chino Creek is very constant; 

owing to the nature of its supply, and hence water rights along its 

course are valuable on account of their permanency. A series of 

measurements of the supply of this creek were made during 1899 

~nder the direction of J. B. Lippincott. There is no gage rod, owing 

to the shifting nature of the stream bed.

SANTA ANA' RIVER .. AT RINCON, CALIFORNIA. 

' . 

i This river and its tribufu:ries~ detiv:e .. their w~ter supply'fi·om the southel·n and western slopes -of· the- San Bernardino Mountains. On their 

appearance from their canyons the water is shortly diverted for irrigation purposes. After passing through San BernardinoValley water 

begins to appear on the lower courses of Santa Ana River, and at the 

point where it passes through the Coast Range a remarkably constant 

s~ream is found. The bed rock, although not visible in the channel 

df the river, must be near t4e surface, judging by the appearance of 

the water in the bed. ' Springs of large volume occur on the southei·n 

side of the river near Rincon, and the :flatlands immediately above there 

are heavily saturated with the rising water. . Arte:stan: water also :is 

found in <Jonsiderable quantities from Rincon to Pomona, in the valley 

of Chino Creek. Twelve miles above Rincon Santa. Ana River passes 

through what is known as Riverside Narrows, and here also the water 

appears at the surface. Approxitqately 80 second-feet are used in .. this 

locality for irrigation purpo-ses. TWo measurements were made ·at 

Riverside Narrows in 1899, the :first, on July 17, showing a discharge 

·of 31.70 second-feet, and the second; on September12,:showing;~ dis-

charge of 39.69 second-feet. Measurements were also made during 

1899 of Santa .Ana River at the Rincon Narrows. The first were 

made 1 mile below the town of Rincon, and included the water of 

Chino Creek. .After September 29 measurements were made at the 

bridges in the town of· Rincon and above the mouth of Chino Creek. 

It was found that at this latter point from 2 to 3 second-feet more water 

was flowing than at the locality 1 mile below, where the earlier 

measurements were made.

SAN LUIS REY RIVER, CALIFORNIA. 

This river rises on the western slope ·of the Coast Range, in the 

northern part of San Diego County, California. It flows westerly, 

with rapid fall, and after passing through a narrow g-.1p in the moun-

. ·tams finally enters the Pacific abotit 35 miles north of San Diego. 

The water of this river is diverted upon its appearance from the cimyon 

by the flume of the Escondido irrigation district, and is conducted 

to a reservoir, whence its waters are used for irrigation purposes. In 

.J 
· CALIFORNIA. 429 

addition to this diversion, 2 second-feet, approximately, are permitted 

to remain in the river for the use of the Indians near Pauma, who are 

prior appropriators. The following results are furnished by the 

Escondido irrigation district. The measurements are made over a 

weir at the headworks of their canal. The following tab~e shows the 

entire flow of the river, with the exception of the 2 second-feet noted 

above. The drainage area at the point of diversion is 229 square 

miles.

SWEETWATER RIVER .ATI SWEETWATER DAM, CALIFORNIA. 

This river has its source on the western slope of the Cuyamaca 

Mountains, in the extreme so~hern part of San Diego County, California, adjoining Mexico. Ddring the last three seasons observations 

of the discharge of this river into the Sweetwater reservoir have been 

made by N. H. Savage, who i~ the chief engineer of the Sweetwater 

irrigation system. The measurements are of particular accuracy, 

because the capacity of the reservoir is definitely known, and the readings of the gage rod in the reservoir indicate volumes discharged. 

Mr. Savage furnishes these records voluntarily, and they are of special 

interest, not only because of the great value of water in this portion of 

San Diego County, but also because this basin is located in the extreme 

southwestern corner of the United States. The effects of the 'severe 

drought of the last few years in southern California are brought out

- MISCELLANEOUS DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS IN CALIFORNIA. 

During the severe drought of 1898 measurements on the important 

irrigation streams of California dnring their low stages were instituted, 

and the results were shown in Water-Supply Paper No. 28, page 193. 

The rainfall for 1899 was also deficient throughout California, and up 

to the present time the water shortage has been extreme. As a continuation of the low-water measurements of the previous years the 

series given below were made during 1899:

PRECIPITATION ON MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 

In order tQ obtain precipitation data bearing upon river discharge, a 

number of rain gages have been placed by Mr. J. B. Lippincott at. 

various important points. The results obtained at these localities during 1899J together with a :few figures :from other sources, are shown 

in the following tables. . The first gives the location o:f the rainfall 

station and the name of the observer, and the second the depth of 

rainfaH, in inches, for each month of the. year. Similar figures for 1896 

are given on page 418 of the Eighteenth Annual Report, Part IV, for 

1897 on page 539 of the Nineteenth Annual Report, Part IV, and for 

1898 on page 560 of the Twentieth Annual Report, Part IV.

RATING TABLES FOR STATIONS IN VARIOUS STATES. 441 

RATING TABLES. 

The following pages contain the rating tables prepared for various 

river stations described in Papers Nos. 35 to 39, inclusive. These 

show the relation which has been found to exist during the year 1899 

between the height of water on the gage at each locality and the discharge in cubic feet per second. These tables have been prepared 

from the measurements made during 1899 or previous years, and are 

used in computing the daily flow, the results of which are to be given 

in the Twenty-first Annual Report, Part IV. Taking, for example, 

the first table, No. 62, Delaware River at Lambertville, New Jersey, the 

number 62 refers to the page upon which the river station is described. 

At the end of the description are given the results of discharge measurements made during 1899. From these and earlier data the relation 

of gage height to discharge has been deduced and is given in the following tables. On page 63 is given the daily height in feet. On 

March 1 this was 6.80. In the following table the flow equivalent to 

this height is shown to be 33,710 second-feet. In the same manner the 

flow corresponding to each gage height in the table has been obtained 

and the averages computed, for use, as above noted, in the annual report 

relating to the year 1899. -
