SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE GREAT BASIN, 1945

SCOPE OF WORK

Tails 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 SO, 1945. 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 10,300 gaging stations 

In the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1945, 

5,600 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 natter that precedes the gaglng-statlon 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 channel 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 the 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 Inches.

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 uged 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.

1
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY,. 1945, PART 10 i

"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 OF 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 daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

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

' tinuous 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 iiLfigure ll

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 ie 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 

nay be temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or flebrls on the control. 

For such times ttie daily mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" meth'od, 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 ftjr determining the slope or fall is obtalried 

by means of an auxiliary gage eet 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 diecharge 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 t 

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 etreams 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 dally 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 dally 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 ttian 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 dally mean 

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

Indicate the true dally 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 

dally mean 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 nonrecordlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives the discharge In 

second-feet corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage or the mean of twice-daily 

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage the dally mean discharge Is determined 

from gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice dally or oftener, as 

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 dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge, not the momentary discharge when the wate'r 

surface was at crest stage. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given 

is the minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow In cubic 

feet per second during Hie 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 dally 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.

TIME BASIS

At 2 a.m. on February 9, 1942, as an emergency measure, the Nation shifted from 

standard time to "war time," and clock time In the several zones of ^the country was moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. At 2 a.m., war time, on September 30, 1945, a change was made
PUBLICATIONS 5

back to standard time and clock time was moved back 1 hour, or to 1 ajm. This made September 30 a 25-hour day. Time given herein for the water year 1945 prior to the change on 

September 30 refers to war time; time after the change refers to standard ttme. To convert 

war time, to standard time, subtract 1 hour. Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 

1942, were computed, and those subsequent to September 30, 1945, will be computed on the 

basis of standard time; records between those dates were computed on the basis of war time. 

The discharge given for September 30, 1945, is the mean for 25 hours. The mean discharge 

and runoff for the month of September have been computed from,the total second-foot-days 

for the month without adjustment for the fact that September 30 was a 25-hour day. The 

small error resulting from this procedure has been disregarded.

1 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 dally 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 evaporation 

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 vin 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. Figures of second-feet 

per square mile and runoff in Inches are also omitted-if the drainage area includes large 

noncontrlbutlng 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 dally 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.

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

and drainage b^ins, 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. Mlscellaneoue measurements at many points other than regular gaging stations have 

been made each year and are publlehed 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 li9.

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 

summary 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.

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 11

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected during the systeinatic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on 

the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been Included In Special 

reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these 

special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic Information and analysed and 

compilations of data relating to earlier noteworthy ,flopds. The following list gives the

14 GAGING-STATION RECORDS

GREAT SALT LAKE BASIN , 

Gages on Great Salt Lake, Utah

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°44'151', long. 112°12'301', in NWi sec. 17, T. 1 

B., R. 3 W., at Salt Lake County Boat Harbor, on southeast shore of lake, 17 miles 

weet of Salt Lake City; and staff gage, lat. 41°13', long. 112°36', at Midlake, on 

Lucin cut-off of Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles west of Ogden. Datum of Boat 

Harbor gage is 4,186.85 feet above mean sea level, that of Midlake gage, 4,198.0 feet 

above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. To reduce elevations to datum of 1929. add 

0.05 foot.

Records available.- September 1875 to December 1899, March to July 1904, and October 

1912 to September 1945 in reports of Geological Survey. July 1903 to December 1934 

in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. Diagram showing fluctuations of lake from 1851- 

1940 is published in Water-supply Paper 880.

Extremeg.- Maximum elevation during year, 4,196.35 feet June 15 and'July 1 at each gage;

 minimum, 4,194.80 feet Oct. 15 and Nov. 1 at Boat Harbor gage. 

1851-1945: Maximum elevation, 4,211.6 feet in 1873, computed from traditional data 

by E. C. La Rue (see Water-supply Paper 880, p. 125); minimum, 4,193.65 feet Oct. 15 

and Nov. 1, 1940, at Boat Harbor gage, and Oct. 15, 1940, at Midlake gage.

Remarks.- Apparent inconsistencies in readings are probably due largely to the effect of 

wind, as the two gages are about 40 miles apart. To compensate for wind effect, 

elevations given for Boat Harbor gage are taken from a mean slope line defined by 

several days' gage-height graph preceding and following 12:01 a.m. for the first and 

fifteenth of each month.

Cooperation.- Records for Midlake gage furnished by Southern Pacific Railroad.
