SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1947

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, 1947. 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 11,100 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1947, 

5,810 gaging stations, including those in Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made 

during the water year 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, under the heading "Cooperation," in the introductory matter that precedes the gaging-station records in each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the second kind appears on page 12.

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 Qhannel 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 ths 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 inphes.

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, 1947, PART 3

"Contents" is a term applied to the volume of water In a reservoir. It Is computed on 

the basis of a level pool and does not Include bank storage unless otherwise indicated.

EXPLANATION OP 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 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 structures in use at gaging stations are shown in figure 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the daily mean gage height to those rating tables gives the 

daily 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 daily mean discharge is determined by the "shifting-control method," in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and notes 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. For those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation Is affected by Ice, the days Included in 

the periods of ice effect either are indicated in the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given in a general note following the table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of Ice effect, 

shortly before the first period, or shortly after the last period are similarly Indicated 

by a footnote.

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 daily 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 as 

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 nonrecording 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 a station at which 

the drainage area of the stream is less than 10 or more than 10,000 square miles or at 

which, on most days, the"peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent

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 daily mean 

gage, height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the daily mean gage height may not 

indicate the true daily 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 

daily meat! discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as an essential 

element a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. For stations 

equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of daily discharge gives the discharge corresponding to either once-daily readings of the gage, the mean of twice-daily readings, or 

the mean gage height determined from gage-height graphs based on gage readings. For 

periods of rapidly changing stage, the daily mean discharge is determined from gage-height 

graphs based on gage readings, the frequency of which is stated in the station description.

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, 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 daily 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.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1947, PART 3 5

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge 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 to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 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 yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporatior 

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 or reservoirs or for other changes incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for 

changes in reservoir contents, unless its inclusion is indicated. Even at those Stations 

where adjustments are made, in some instances large errors in eomp.uted yields may occur 

when relatively large negative adjustments are applied or when evaporation is large in 

comparison with the observed discharge. 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.

PUBLICATIONS

Papers on surface water supply containing records from 1899 to date, grouped by years 

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 8. The data for any particular gaging 

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. 8), contains, for the area covered by that report, a 

sunrnary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of record 

have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate reprints.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 31

Ohio River at Ashland, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage, lat. 38°27 I 20", long. 

82°36'30", at lock and dam 29 at Ashland, Boyd County, and 2.8 miles downstream from 

Big Sandy River. Datum of gage is 483.12 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. 

Auxiliary water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage at lock and dam 30, 

19.5 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage is 4V5.1 feet above mean sea level, 

Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 60,750 square miles at dam 29 (authority, U. S. Weather Bureau). 

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1947 (fragmentary prior to October 1939).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 281,000 second-feet Jan. 22, 23; maximum gage 

height, 41.1 feet Jan. 22, 23; minimum daily discharge, 3,760 second-feet Oct. 2.

1938-47: Maximum discharge, 587,000 second-feet Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, 

63.85 feet Mar. 9, 1945; minimum daily discharge determined, that of Oct. 2, 1946. 

Maximum stage known, 73.6 feet Jan. 27, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 50,000 second-feet, which are fair. Discharge 

computed during open-river periods (above 55,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by hourly readings of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Discharge computed for 

slack-water (below 55,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by auxiliary recorder as a factor. Base staff gage read hourly during open river.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and four discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers.

Ohio River near Maysville, Ky.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 38°38'10", long. 83°42 I 15", 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 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 1947 (fragmentary prior to October 1940).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 305,000 second-feet Jan. 23; maximum gage height, 

40.4 reet Jan. 23; minimum discharge not determined.

1939-47: Maximum discharge, 634,000 second-feet Mar. 9, 1945; maximum gage height, 

65.5 feet Mar. 9, 1945.

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

Remarks.- Records good except those for slack-water periods, which are poor. Discharge 

ror open-river periods computed by using fall as determined by hourly readings of 

auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Base staff gage read hourly during open river.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and three discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

engineers.

Ohio River at Owensboro, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°46'45", long. 87 0 06'30", at highway bridge at 

UwensDoro, Daviess County, 0.9 mile upstream from lock and dam 46 and 5.7 miles downstream from Pup Creek. Datura of gage is 339.1 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River 

datum. Auxiliary water-stage recorder at Rockport, Spencer County, Ind., 9.1 miles 

upstream at same datum.

Drainage area.- 97,200 square miles (authority, Corps of Engineers). 

Records available.- October 1940 to September 1947.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 354,000 second-feet Jan. 25; maximum gage height, 

35.25 feet Jan. 26.

1940-47: Maximum discharge, 842,000 second-feet Mar. 10-12, 1945; maximum gage 

height, 49.85 feet Mar. 11, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 54.9 feet Jan. 29, 30, 1937; maximum discharge, 1,210,000 

second-feet Jan. 28, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of indefinite stage-discharge relation, 

' which are poor. Discharge for open-river periods computed by using fall as determined 

by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and seven discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers.

height, 53.2 feet Mar. 14, 15, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 62.6 feet Feb. 1-3, 1937; maximum discharge, 1,470,000 secondfeet Feb. 2, 3, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those for slack-water periods, which are poor. Discharge 

lor open-river periods computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary staff gage 

as a factor. Gages read six times daily or more often.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and 16 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers.

38 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River at Metropolis, 111.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08'51", long. 88°44'27", at Paducah & Illinois 

Railroad bridge at Metropolis, Massac County, 9j miles downstream from Tennessee River 

and 37 miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 276.27 feet above mean sea level, 

datum of 1929. Auxiliary water-stage recorder, 0.5 mile upstream from dam 53, 3 miles 

southwest of Grand Chain, Pulaski County, and.18 miles downstream from base gage. 

Datum of auxiliary gage is 276.30 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 203,000 square miles at Metropolis (authority, Corps of Engineers).

Records available.- January 1934 to September 1947 in reports of Geological Survey. Occasionai discharge measurements 1881 to 1924 and daily discharges since January 1928 

in reports of Mississippi River Commission.

Average discharge.- 13 years (1934-47), 248,600 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 771,000 second-feet Jan. 28 (gage height, 45.93 

reet); minimum daily discharge, 54,100 second-feet Oct. 10.

1934-47: Maximum discharge, 1,780,000 second-feet Feb. 1, 1937 (total discharge, 

including overflow through Bay Creek and Cache River Valleys, 1,850,000 second-feet); 

maximum gage height, 66.60 feet Feb. 2, 1937; minimum daily discharge, 20,600 secondfeet Oct. 8, 1941.

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

water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow controlled by operation of navigation dams upstream and downstream from Metropolis except during periods of high water when dams 

are lowered and open-river conditions prevail.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with, and 15 discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers.

104 MONONGAHELA RIVER BASIN 

Youghiogheny River at Youghiogheny River Dam, Pa.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°48'20", long. 79°21''50", 800 feet upstream from

from _ 

1929 (Corps of Engineers bench mark).

Drainage area.- 436 square miles. , Records available.- September 1904 to December 1910, January 1911 to September 1913 (gage

 heights only), and March 1940 to September 1947 in reports of Geological Survey. September 1904 to September 1914, October 1914 to September 1922 (gage heights only), and 

March 1940 to September 1941 (corrected) in reports of Pennsylvania Department of 

Forests and Waters. Same high-water records prior to October 1914 are in error due to 

backwater from Casselman River.

Average discharge.- Previously published figures in error because backwater from Casselman 

Hiver was not computed in same high-water records prior to October 1914.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,650 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 15 (gage 

height, 8.08 feet); minimum, about 1 second-foot (regulated) Sept. 17 (gage height, 

2.83 feet); minimum daily, 120 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 20-25.

1904-14, 1940-47: Maximum gage height observed, 19.00 feet Mar. 14, 1907, site and 

datum then in use (discharge not determined); minimum discharge, that of Sept. 17, 1947.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of backwater from Casselman River, which 

are rair. Flow regulated by Youghiogheny River (see p. 80) and Deep Creek Reservoirs 

(c-mbined capacity, 352,770 acre-feet).

Cooperation.- Records of contents in Deep Creek Reservoir furnished by Pennsylvania

adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 1,398 square miles.

Kecords available.- October 1923 to Se'ptember 1947

Average aiscnarge.- 24 years, 1,371 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 9,390 second-feet (regulated) June 19 (gage

 height, 8.08 feet); minimum, 170 second-feet (regulated) June 8 (gage height, 1.00 

foot); minimum daily, 197 second-feet June 8.

1923-47: Maximum discharge, 26,400 second-feet Jan. 26, 1937 (gage height, 15.51 

feet); minimum, 2.3 second-feet (regulated') July 20, 1946 (gage height, -1.64 feet); 

minimum daily, 68 second-feet Aug. 5, 1930.

Flood of March 1913 reached a stage of about 23.5 feet (discharge, 62,000 secondfeet, computed by Corps of Engineers).

wnich are fair. Ohio Canal diverts small amount of water from river at Portage-Lakes, 

3 miles south of Akron; part of diverted water flows into Cuyahoga River Basin. Flow 

regulated by four flood-control reservoirs (see p.162).

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°15'40", long. 81°36'35", In T. 5 N., R. 3 W., 

at highway bridge three-quarters of a mile south of Newcomerstown, 2 miles upstream 

from Buckhorn Creek, and 4 miles downstream from Dunlap Creek. Datum of gage is 

780.00 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 2,436 square miles.

Kecoras available.- September 1921 to September 1947.

Average discharge.- 26 years, 2,438 second-feet.

extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 13,200 second-feet (regulated) June 7 (gage 

height, 9.85 feet); minimum, 297 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 8, 9 (gage height, 

2.44 feet).

1921-47: Maximum discharge, 46,800 second-feet Jan. 26, 1937 (gage height, 20.65 

feet, site and datum then In use); minimum, 120 second-feet Aug. 7, 1930.

Flood of March 1913 reached a stage of about 26.5 feet, original site and datum 

(discharge, 83,000 second-feet, computed by Corps of Engineers).

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of ice effect, which are fair. Ohio 

canal diverts small amount of water from river at Portage Lakes, 3 miles south of 

Akron; part of diverted water flows into Cuyahoga River Basin. Flow regulated by 

eight flood-control reservoirs (see p. 162). Records of water analyses for the water 

year 1947 are given In Water-Supply Paper 1102.

162 MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN

Reservoirs in Muskingum River Basin, Ohio

During the years 193S to 1938, the Corps of Engineers constructed 14 dams on the Muskingum River and tributaries for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but at 11 of thsra a conservation pool is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and industrial uses, 

to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low flow, and for recreational and wildlife conservation purposes. »

There are no gates on spillways of the dams, except at Senecaville. All regulation is 

done by gates in tunnels through the dams, except at Beach City and Charles Mill, where 

there are also bypass gates in the conservation weir; at Senecaville, regulation at higher 

stages can be assisted by operation of ll-|-foot taintor gates on spillway.

The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level is 1,539,000 acre-feet, of 

which 211,400 acre-feet is retained in the conservation pools.

The Corps of Engineers assumed operation of the reservoirs on Aug. 13, 1939, and 

furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used to compute data contained herein.

Nimishillen Creek at North Industry,

computed on basis of records for Sandy Creek at Waynesburg, 

and flow through Bolivar Reservoir.
168 MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN

Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek at Canton, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40 0 50'30", long. 81°21'20", in Nj sec. 27, T. 11 N.,

 H. b W., at highway bridge on Martindale Road, 2.4 miles upstream from mouth and 3.1 

miles northeast of Canton. Datum of gage is 1,046.6 feet above mean sea level, adjustment, of 1912.

Drainage area.- 44.2 square miles.

Hecoras available.- September 1941 to September 1947.

extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 950 second-feet June 7 (gage height, 5.42 feet);

 minimum, 2.7 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 22 (gage height, 0.56 foot).

1941-47: Maximum dischange, 1,140 second-feet Feb. 27, 1946 (gage height, 5.21 

f&et); minimum, 0.2 second-foot (regulated) Nov. 9, 1944.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, 

wnicn are poor. Part of municipal water supply for city of Canton is pumped from its 

northeast well field. A large portion of pumpage is believed to be diverted indirectly 

from Creek as recharge for aquifer suppling well field. Mean annual pumpage for water 

year 1946-47. 14.7 second-feet. Low flow regulated by small pools above station.

Rating table, water year 1946-47, except periods of ice effect

(gage height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)

220 KANAWHA RIVER BASIN

New River at Radford, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08', long. 80°34', at Radford, Montgomery County,

 y.OUU feet downstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 11, 5 miles downstream from Little 

River, and b\ miles downstream from Claytor Dam. Datum of gage is 1,712.36 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 2,748 square miles.

Records available.- August 1939 to September 1947 in reports of Geological Survey. Octobe-1

 1907 to September 1915 (revised records) in Bulletin 31, Virginia Geological Survey. 

August 1898 to September 1907, published in reports of Geological Survey and Bulletins 

3 and 10 of the Virginia Geological Survey, believed to be unreliable because of doubtful gage-height record. Gage-height records collected at same site since 1895, but at 

different datum, are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1907-15, 1939-47), 3,757 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 34,500 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 10.86

 reet); minimum, 506 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 7, July 27, Sept. 6, 7 (gage height, 

1.47 feet; minimum daily, 1,190 second-feet Oct. 6, Nov. 3.

1907-15, 1939-47: Maximum discharge, 218,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 

35.96 feet), from rating curve extended above 73,000 second-feet on basis of records fo" 

other stations on New River and flow over Claytor Dam (computed by Appalachian Electric 

Power Co.); minimum, 165 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 25, 27, 1944 (gage height, 1.08 

feet); minimum daily, 550 second-feet Aug. 22, 1911.

Floods of Sept. 15, 1878, and July 16, 1916, reached stages of 37.4 and 35.7 feet, 

respectively, at site arid datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports of U. S. 

Weather Bureau.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of no gage-height record, which are 

fair. Flow regulated by Claytor Reservoir (capacity, 224,000 acre-feet). Some additional regulation at low flow by dam and power plant on Little River, half a mile 

above mouth.

Cooperation.- Records of contents of Claytor Reservoir furnished by Appalachian Electric 

rower (Jo.

feet, from floodmarks, present site and datum), by slope-area method; minimum, 610 

second-feet Aug. 27, 1925 (gage height, 1.80 feet, site and datum then in use); minimum daily, 720 second-feet Aug. 27, 1925.

Floods of Apr. 21 and May 23, 1901. reached a stage of 24.2 feet, former site and 

datum (discharge, 234,000 second-feet). Flood of 1878 probably reached a higher stage.

Remarks.- Records good. Some regulatipn at low and medium flow by Claytor Dam and power 

plant, 83 miles above station. Prior to July 1 stage-discharge relation affected by 

backwater from construction operation at Bluestone Dam.

SCIOTO RIVER BASIN 289

Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54 I 34", long. 83°00'33", at sewage-treatment

 works of city of Columbus, Franklin County, 0.4 mile downstream from bridge on Prank

Road. Datum of gage is 680.40 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. 

Drainage area.- 1,624 square miles. 

Hecoras avallaDle.- April 1921 to September 1947. 

Average discharge.- 26 years, 1,308 second-feet (unadjusted). 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 31,600 second-feet June 3 (gage height, 22.71

 feet); minimum, 53 second-feet Oct. 14 (gage height, 6.11 feet).

1921-47: Maximum discharge, 39,600 second-feet Mar. 21, 1927 (gage height, 24.7 

feet); minimum, 42 second-feet Sept. 6, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 25.9 feet Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 138,000 second-feet, 

estimated by Franklin County Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable 

with present gage heights because of subsequent channel improvement and levee construction. 

Remarks.- Records good. Plow regulated by O'Shaughnessy and Griggs Reservoirs for

 municipal supply of city of Columbus (see p. 293). Diversion for water supply made 

several miles above gage; sewage return flow normally is discharged at gage and is 

included in flow past gage.

SALINE RIVER BASIN 487

Saline River near Junction, 111.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°41'52", long. 88°16'00", in NE£ sec. 36, T. 9 

S., R. 8 E., at old Island Ripple Bridge site, 2| miles southwest of Junction, 4 miles 

downstream from North Fork, and 13f miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 

320.40 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 3| 

miles downstream at Eagle Ripple Ford and 200 feet downstream from Eagle Creek. Datum 

of auxiliary gage is 320.43 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 1,040 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1947.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 6,950 second-feet Apr. 13; maximum gage height, 

20.52 feet Apr. 14 (backwater from Ohio River); minimum discharge during non-backwater 

periods, 4.6 second-feet Aug. 23, 24 (gage height, 1.10 feet).

1939-47: Maximum discharge, 37,400 second-feet Mar. 19, 1945; maximum gage height, 

44.03 feet Mar. 17, 1945 (backwater from Ohio River); maximum daily reversed flow, 

3,210 second-feet Apr. 28, 1940; minimum discharge during non-backwater periods, 0.9 

second-foot Sept. 22, 23, 1944; minimum gage height, 1.01 feet Sept. 25-28, 1941. 

Maximum stage known, about 55.8 feet in February 1937 (backwater from Ohio River).

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of extremely flat slopes or at gageheight record, which are poor. Backwater from Ohio River frequently causes reversal 

of flow at station and occasionally, at extremely high stages, causes diversion from 

Wabash River to Saline River just above station.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1946 to September 1947

a No gage-height record at one or both gages; discharge computed on basis of records for nearby 

stations.

k Discharge computed using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor.

Note.- Extremely flat slope Jan. 6-11, 25-29, Feb. 2-7, Mar. 20-24, May 5-26, June 10-15; discharge computed from approximate stage-fall-discharge relation. Figures of discharge in second-feet 

per square mile and runoff in inches for some months do not represent natural yeild owing to channel 

storage caused by backwater from Ohio River. Negative figures indicate reverse flow.

CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN 497

Cumberland River at Nashville, Tenn.

Location,- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°09'45", long. 8S°46'17", at Sparkman Street 

Bridge in Nashville, Davidson County, 2.7 miles upstream from lock and dam 1 and 3 3 

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

 ^yi Qe-, loT /u* ilial>y Sage ls 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 1902 to December 1904 (gage heights only) and October 1918 

to September 1947 in reports of Geological Survey. October 1887 to September 1924 in 

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

error due to uncertainty of gage datum. uj=^

Average discharge.- 60 years (1887-1947), 20,160 second-feet.

Extremes^- Maximum discharge during year, 101,000 second-feet Jan. 21; maximum gage height 

3BT2^feet Jan. 23; minimum daily discharge, 1,170 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 10: 

minimum gage height, 7.97 feet Sept. 29.

1887-1947: Maximum discharge, 203,000 second-feet Jan. 1, 1927 (gage height, 56.2

CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN 499

Cumberland River at Smithland, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08'45", long. 88°24i25", at bridge on U. S. Highway 60 at Smithland, Livingston County, 1 mile downstream from McCormick Creek and 2.8 

miles upstream from mouth. Auxiliary water-stage recorder at Dycusburg, Crittenden 

County, 16.8 miles upstream. Datum of each gage is 300.00 feet above mean sea level, 

Sandy Hook datum. Low-water staff gage above spillway at lock and dam F, 40.8 miles 

upstream from base gage. Datum of gage is 302.86 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook 

datum.

Drainage area.- 18,080 square miles.

Records available.- February 1939 to September 1947 (fragmentary prior to October 1943).

Extremes- Maximum discharge during year, 110,000 second-feet Jan. 9; maximum gage height, 

24.48 feet Jan. 9; minimum daily discharge, 998 second-feet Sept. 17.

1939-47: Maximum discharge, 170,000 second-feet Feb. 18, 1939; maximum gage height, 

/40.60 feet Mar. 11, 1945, from graph based on gage readings; minimum discharge not 

determined.

Maximum stage known, 51.1 feet January to February 1937.

Remarks^- Records good above 15,000 second-feet and fair below, except those for periods 

of no gage-height record or indefinite stage-discharge relation, which are ooor-. Discharge above 15,000 second-feet computed by using fal]> as determined by auxiliary gage 

as a factor; discharge below 15,000 second-feet computed by using low-water gage at 

lock and dam F with wicket operation at dam as a factor. Upper gage at lock and dam F 

read four times daily.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for lock and dam F and record of wicket manipulations furnished by Corps of Engineers.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1946 to September 1947

Caney Pork near Silver Point, Term.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°02'30", long. 85°49'00", at bridge on State 

Highway 56, 6 miles north of Smithville, De Kalb County, 7 miles southwest of Silver 

Point, Putnam County, 12 miles downstream from Palling Water River, and 49 miles downstream from Great Palls Reservoir. Datum'of gage is 496.44 feet above mean sea level, 

Sandy Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 2,100 square miles.

Records available.- November 1922 to September 1947.

Average dlschargeT- 24 years (1923-47), 3,568 second-feet (unadjusted).

extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 42,200 second-feet Jan. 3; maximum gage height, 

28~T2~feet Jan. 3; minimum daily discharge, 200 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 21. 

1922-47: Maximum discharge, 178,000 second-feet Mar. 23, 1929, by slope-area 

method; maximum gage height, 58.6 feet Mar. 23, 1929, present site and datum, from 

floodmarks; minimum daily discharge, 25 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 4, 25, 26, 1924, 

Sept. 30, 1925.

Maximum stage known, that of Mar. 23, 1929.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are 

rair. Low flow regulated by Great Palls Reservoir (see p. 500), and by small power 

plant on Palling Water River. High flow affected by backwater from Center Hill Dam.

Cooperation.- Two discharge measurements furnished by Corps of Engineers.

Smith Bridge), and October 1922 to December 1923 in North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development Bulletin 34 and Tennessee Division of Geology Bulletin 34. 

Records prior to Jan. 1, 1909, have been revised in these two bulletins.

Average discharge.- 50 years (1895-1901, 1903-47), 2,111 second-feet.

extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 13,600 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 7.07 

feet); minimum, 483 second-feet Sept. 7 (gage height, 0.65 foot).

1895-1901, 1903-47: Maximum discharge, 110,000 second-feet July 16, 1916 (gage 

height, 23.1 feet, present site and datum, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 43,000 second-feet; minimum, 239 second-feet at times in August and September 1925 (gage height, 0.16 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, 

which are fair. Small diversions from tributaries for water supply. Slight diurnal 

fluctuation and occasional slight regulation at low flow caused by power plants and 

small reservoirs above station.

Drainage area.- 102 square miles.

Records available.- August 1946 to September 1947 (discontinued).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 2,650 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 6.5 

reet, from graph based on gage readings), from rating curve extended above 600 secondfeet by logarithmic plotting; minimum discharge observed, 19 second-feet July 30, 31; 

minimum gage height observed, 1.18 feet Oct. 6, 7.

1946-47: Maximum discharge, that of Jan. 20, 1947; minimum discharge observed, 19 

second-feet Sept. 12,1946, July 30, 31, 1947; minimum gage height observed, 1.15 feet 

Sept. 12, 1946.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect and those above 1,000 

second-feet, which are fair. City of Asheville diverts its water supply above this 

station from Beetree Reservoir (capacity, 700,000,000 gallons) and North Pork 

Swannanoa River.

Cooperation.- Records of diversion and change in contents in Beetree Reservoir furnished 

by Asheville Water Department, Division of Watersheds. Records of evaporation furnished by Tennessee Valley Authority.

TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN 

Little Tennessee River at Fontana Dam, N. C.

621

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°26'44", long. 83 G 48'19", half a mile downstream 

from Montana Dam, Swain and Graham Counties, 5.3 miles upstream from Twenty Mile Creek. 

Auxiliary water-stage recorder 2 miles downstream. Datum of both gages is 1,270.00 

feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 1,571 square miles.

Records available.- August 1938 to September 1947.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 19,600 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 26 (gage 

height, 11.70 feet); minimum, 40 second-feet (regulated) at times; minimum gage height, 

2.34 feet Jan. 23.

1938-47: Maximum discharge, 71,200 second-feet Aug. 30, 1940 (gage height, 15.94 

feet, site and datum then in use), by computation of flow into Cheoah Reservoir below 

station; minimum daily, 5 second-feet (estimated leakage prior to installation of 

turbines) Nov. 8-11, 1944, Dec. 24, 1944 to Jan. 1, 1945.

Floods of May 1840 and March 1867 reached stages of 21 and 23 feet, respectively 

(former datum), from flood profiles by Tennessee Valley Authority.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary 

water-stage recorder as a factor. Flow completely regulated by Glenville, Nantahala, 

and Pontana Reservoirs (see p. 553).
