SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AMD EASTERN GULF OF MBnCO J8A8T"t. 1945 '

SCOPE OP WORK

IBils volume 19 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, 1945. The 1 work was begun In 1888 In oonaectlor with 

special studies relating to Irrigation. Measurements of the flow of streams arfl of the

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 10,300 gaglrg stations i 

In the 48 ^tates tad also at many in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July.l945y

5,600 gaging stations, including those in Hawaii, were being maintained by tl» Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements wer« made 

during the water year at many other, points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organizations have cooppratedi, 

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," ln^ the iotror 

ductory matter that precedes the gaging-station records in each volume. In tlr present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the second kind appears on pajge 11.

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-feet11 Is an abbreviation for 'cubic feet per second." A seconds-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 vater flowing tfer 

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the runoff 18 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 ^acte-foot* is the quantity of water required to cover an a.ere to tJnie depth of 

1 foot and Is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term ts commonly usefl In connection 

with storage for irrigation.

"Second-root-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of T second-foot for 24 '

 * . * 

hours. It Is equivalent to 86,400 cubic fjest, 1.983471 acre-feat, or 646,317 'nlloos and

represents a runoff of 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" la an abbreviation' for the term "relation betweer gage height 

arid discharge." .

"Control" is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage thnt determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage, nils feature nay be a natural section, a reach, 

of th* channel, or an artificial structure. . . .
g SUOTACfc WATER SUPPLY, 1945, PART 2 . > ^|

"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 othemlse Indicated. VH H

\ EXPLANATION OF DAT*

Die base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, measurements of 

discharge, and general Information'used to supplement the records of stag0 and discharge. 

measurements In determining the dally now. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecordlng >gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge-are made w*th 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 meas-i , 

.urements. The application of the dally mean gage height to those rating tables gives the 

dally 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 dally mean discharge is determined by the "shifting-control method," In which correction factors ba-*ed 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 essential!^ the »8hlftiffle- , : = 

control" method, described above. ' ' !

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by ba'&tpatpr from 

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources, which necessitate the use of the "slope J*

«; :\ ' - *,.>» method," in which thti slope or fall In a reach of the stream Is a factor la t&$ deterat- 4 '.:,'ffi

EXPLANATION OF DATA
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1945, PAST 2 .

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 ttie 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; the1 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 recordsr 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 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 f-or 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

V

'equipped with nonrecordlng gages, the table of daily 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 water 

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 me 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 gones of the country was moved 

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

back to standard time and clock tine was moved back 1 hour, or tcrl a jet, This Hade September 30 a 25-hour day. fin® given herein for the water year ]£45 prior to the change on 

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

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

1SJ42, were computed, and those subsequent %& September 30, 1945, will be computed on the ( 

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

We discharge given for Septeatoer 30, 1945, is the mean for 25 hours,. fhe mean discharge

 and runoff for the month of September have been computed from the total secondf-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. ,

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 frequenc^ 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 dally recorls Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 1O percent; "fair,* less than IS percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and jrarly-mean 

discharge and ruaoft 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 cf 'second-feet per

t 

square mile* and "runoff in inches* are not published unless storage or divers'on 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 11^ inclusion is indicated, figures cf second-feet 

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

noncontrtbutlng 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 cf the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

does net 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 cf the .flow past the 

station. The table cf daily discharge affords opportunity for more detailed stadias cf tfce 

_ variation in flow. Aa further observations in each succeeding year, maybe 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'. '

Average discharge.- 17 years (1926-34, 1936-45), 238 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,300 second-feet Sept. 20 (gage height, 15.67 

reet): minimum; 23 second-feet Sept. 1, 2 (gage height, 3.20 feet).

1926-35, 1936-45: Maximum discharge, 9,580 second-feet Apr. 27, 1937 (gage height, 

23.86 feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 5,000 second-feet on 

basis of velocity-area studies, with backwater correction; minimum, 2 second-feet 

Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 4, 12, 1930.

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

'set, from high-water mark in gage shelter), from rating curve extended abo^e TO.QQO 

second-feet: minimum, 78 second-feet (regulated) July 2 (gage height, 0.48 foot); minimum daily, 128 second-feet (regulated) July 2.

1923-45: Maximum discharge, that of Sept. 19, 1945; minimum, 39 second-feet 

(.regulated, revised) Oct. £, 1926 (gage height, 0.01 foot)'; minimum dally, 29 seeondfeet (regulated, revised) Oct. 8, 1926.

. Revisions.- The minimum discharge for the water year 1942" has been revisi-d to S3 

second-feet Oct. 31, .1941 (gage height, 0.10 foot), sifperseding figure published in

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of fragmentary or doubtful gsg?-lieight 

record, which are lair, and those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. 

Large diurnal fluctuation and considerable regulation for short periods at low flow 

caused by povrer plants above station.

120 CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN

Cape Fear River at lock 3, near Tarheel,'N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, 100 feet above concrete dam and lock, l.at. 34°50'00",

 long1 . 78°48'30", 1 mile downstream from county line and 7 miles north of Tarheel, 

Bladen County. Datum of gage Is 29.75 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary water-stage recorder In lower pool about 600 feet 

downstream at same datum.

Drainage area.- 4,810 square miles.

Records available.- October 1937 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum gage height during year, 43.44 feet Sept. 22 (discharge not determined);

 minimum discharge, 595 second-feet (regulated) June 17 (gage height, 0.90 foot); minimum dally, 662 second-feet (regulated) June 17.

1937-45J Maximum gage height, that of Sept. 22, 1945; minimum discharge, 200 secondfeet (regulated) Oct. 20, 1940 (gage height, 0.42 foot)-^ minimum dally 260 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 19j 1940.

Remarks.- Records excellent between 1,000 and 10,000 second-feet, good above and poor 

oeiow, except those for periods of fragmentary gage-height record, which are fair, and 

those for days of Indefinite stage-discharge relation, which are poor. Discharge for 

periods when gage heights were above 6.0 feet computed by using.submergence of lock 

and dam, as determined by auxiliary gage, as a factor. Slight dlurnr.l fluctuation and 

some regulation for short periods at low flow caused by power plants above station.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October* 1944 to September 1945
