ATJTHOBIZATION AND SCOPE OF WOBK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports representing results of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1928.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat. L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geological Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the 

following items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources.

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting 

data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are made in 

connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation 

of the second kind is acknowledged on page 9.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,480 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1928, 1,830 gaging stations were being maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many "miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at other points. In 

connection with this work data were also collected in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water

power in many sections of the country and will be made available 

in water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (I) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity of 

water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. The 

principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, secondfeet per square mile, run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic 

feet. They may be defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A 

second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel of 

rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards time and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered 

if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly 

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control," a term used to designate the natural section or stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1,1927, and ending September 30, 1928. At the beginning of January 

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in the 

preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or in 

ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this stored 

water passes off in the streams during the spring break-up'. At the 

end of September, on the other hand, the only stored water available
EXPLANATION OF DATA 6

for run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the 

run-off for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived from 

precipitation within that year.

The base data collected at gaging stations consists of records of 

stage, measurements of discharge, and general information used to 

supplement tha gage heights and discharge measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct reading on a staff or chain gage or from a water-stage recorder 

that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements 

of discharge are made with a current meter. The general methods 

are outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge. A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder 

and measuring cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

FIGUEE 1. Typical gaging station

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage 

height to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

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

this report comprise a description of the station, a table showing the 

daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly 

discharge and run-off.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and 

minimum recorded discharge, and the accuracy of the records. The 

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent 

the crest discharge unless a water-stage recorder was in operation or 

unless a nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.
4 SUEFACE WATEK SUPPLY, 1928, PAET I

The table of daily discharge gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the daily gage height which may be a 

once daily reading or the mean of twice daily readings of a nonrecording gage, or the mean daily gage height obtained from a waterstage recorder graph.

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation 

the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily gage 

height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such 

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily 

discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular interals 

during the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument 

for obtaining mean daily discharge from a continuous gage-height 

graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the 

station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the maximum daily discharge and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily discharge. 

The column headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet per 

second during the month. On this average flow are based computations recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined on page 2.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 

permanence of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy 

of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

The station description gives a statement hi regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that records are 

accurate within 5 per cent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," 

within 15 per cent; and "poor," 20 per cent or more. 

| The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures 

showing discharge per square mile and depth in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, or by inability to 

interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river 

above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "run-off in 

inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. 

The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining 

 areas in which the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies
PUBLICATIONS t>

of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, that 

the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

streams, and the discharge recorded does not show the water supply 

available for further development, as prior appropriations must first

be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, but 

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and annual 

reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries coincide 

with natural drainage features as indicated below: 

PART I. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John River to York River).

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River 

to the Mississippi).

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 at the end of each report in the same relative order as 

the regular gaging stations. An index of reports containing records 

obtained prior to 1904 was published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 

1928. The data for any particular station will be found in the reports 

covering the years during which the station was maintained. For 

example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area covered 

by Part III are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 

383, 403, 433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio 

River Basin for those years.

HOUSATONIC RIVER AT STEVENSON', CONN.

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder a quarter of a mile below Stevenson Dam of 

Connecticut Light & Power Co., 7 miles above Derby, New Haven County, 

and the junction with Naugatuck River.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,550 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August to September, 1928.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during period of record, 7,910 second-feet 

September 4 (gage height, 8.8 feet); minimum, less than 100 second-feet, 

occurs frequently during low flow, owing to operation of power plant above.

REMARKS. Records good. Gage-height record partly estimated during low 

flow because intake was not quite low enough to take extremely low stage 

following plant shutdowns. Low flow completely regulated at power plant 

above gage. Further regulation provided at the Rocky River development 

upstream, which comprises a storage reservoir with a useful capacity of 

5,900,000,000 cubic feet.

1887-1928: Maximum discharge, 120,000 second-feet March 28, 1913; 

practically no flow at times when plant is shut down.

REMARKS. Discharge computed from flow over spillway, through wheels and 

through lock of Champlain Canal. Comparative studies with flow at gaging 

stations above Mechanicville indicate that the record as published below is 

low by varying amounts, the maximum difference being about 15 per cent 

low and the yearly average about 5 per cent. Flow regulated by storage 

above station. Water is diverted through Glen Falls feeder into Lake 

Champlain, for which no correction is made. Records of discharge over 

spillway and through wheels furnished by West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co.

GLENS FAILS FEEDER AT GLENS FALLS, XT. T.

LOCATION. Slope station at upper end of feeder canal at Glens Falls, Warren 

County. Water-stage recorders determine slope just below point of diversion from Hudson River at feeder dam.

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. May, 1927, to September, 1928. Discharge measurements only from 1895 to 1918.

REMAEKS. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy formula, variations in 

coefficient "C" throughout the season being computed from current-meter 

measurements. Records generally good except those for periods, October 

1, 8-22, and 26-29, which are fair. Spillways automatically divert excess 

flow between gages; also some leakage. Flow regulated by demands of 

Champlain Canal and for floating logs.

Daily and monthly discharge, in second-feet, 1927-28

MOHAWK RIVER HEAR LITTLE FALLS, N. Y.

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder 1,800 feet below Hocky Baft Dam, 2 miles 

above East Canada Creek and 4H miles southeast of Little Falls, Herkimer 

County. Elevation of zero of gage, 310.0 feet, Barge Canal datum.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,390 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October, 1927, to September, 1928.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 19,200 second-feet November 30 

(gage height, 14.2 feet); minimum, 785 second-feet November 2 (gage height, 

5.20 feet).

REMARKS. Records good except those for periods of ice effect January 22 to 

March 3, March 11, 12, and 15-21, which are fair. Water is diverted during 

navigation season from Black River (St. Lawrence Basin) through Forestport 

feeder, Black River Canal (flowing south) and Lansing Kill into Delta Reservoir; from West Canada Creek through Ninemile feeder and Ninemile Creek 

to the summit level of Barge Canal. Small amount of water may be received 

from Oswego Basin through summit level, although it is possible that water 

thus gained is equal to the amount similarly lost from Mohawk Basin. At 

Rocky Rift Dam water is diverted during canal season into Barge Canal 

for lockage and power use at Lock 16 near St. Johnsville. Seasonal distribution of flow affected by storage in Delta and Hinckley Reservoirs.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, 1927-28

NOTE. About 12 second-feet leakage not included in table. Discharge estimated Apr. 4-6 and June 24. 

to July 7.
126 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1928, PART I

MOHAWK RIVER AT COHOES, N. Y.

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder 50 feet below School Street plant of New York 

Power & Light Corporation at Cohoes, Albany County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 3,500 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October, 1925, to September, 1928, at present location. 

From December, 1917, to July, 1925, at Crescent Dam, 2 miles upstream. 

From July to October, 1925, records of discharge were determined from gage 

heights above New York Power & Light Corporation Dam in conjunction with 

operating records at School Street plant. These records are directly comparable with records at present site.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 54,800 second-feet December 9 

(gage height, 16.8 feet); minimum, 22 second-feet October 2 (gage height, 

3.83 feet).

1925-1928: Maximum discharge, 54,800 second-feet March 15 and 

December 9, 1927 (gage height, 16.8 feet); minimum, that of October 2, 

1927.

REMARKS. Records excellent except those estimated for December 4 and 

5, and those for extremely low stages, which are good. Diversions at 

Crescent Dam through Lock No. 6 for use in Barge Canal during navigation 

seasons, and for municipal supply from Schoharie Creek and from Mohawk 

River just above station, some of which is returned to river above measuring 

section. Considerable amount of water is received into Delta Reservoir 

from Black River Basin, through Black River Canal (flowing south) and 

Lansing Kill, through feeders from the upper Chenango Basin, and during 

navigation season, from Oswego Basin through the summit level of the 

Barge Canal, which partly compensate for diversions. Flow regulated by 

storage reservoirs above station.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, 1927-28
