SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS, 1945

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, 1945. The work was begun in 188S 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 ttie 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 nany 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 channel, is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity is 1 fcot 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 tteed 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, 1945, PART 1

"Contents" Is a term applied to ttie 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 ttie records of stage and discharge 

measurements in determining the daily 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 dally 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-die charge 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 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 use.ful); 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 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 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 dally 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 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
PUBLICATION 5

back to standard time and clock time was moved back 1 hour, or to 1 a.m. This made Se,ptember 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 time. To convert 

war tine to standard time, subtract 1 hour. Records of daily 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-ctays 

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 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 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 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. Figures of second-feet 

per square mile and runoff in incites are also omitted if the drainage area Includes large 

noncontrlbuting 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 maj be expected to

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

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 8. Tne 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 

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.

Runoff in 

inches

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 5 to Mar. 5 (no gage-height record Jan. 1-24; 

discharge computed on basis of record for station at Moosehead).

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war tine to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
42 KENNEBEC RIVER BASIN

Kennebec River at Bingham, Maine

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 45°03'05", long. 69°53'15", at Bingham, Somerset 

County, 200 feet downstream from highway bridge, half a mile downstream from Austin 

Stream, and 1? miles downstream from Wyman Dam. Datum of gage is 330.0 feet above 

mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 2,710 square miles.

Records available.- June 1907 to June 1910, October 1930 to September 1945.

Average discharge1 .'- 17 years (1907-9, 1930-45), 4,196 second-feet.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 37,300 second-feet Apr. 28 (gage 

height, 12.56 'feet); minimum daily, 485 second-feet Sept. 3.

1907-10. 1930-45: Maximum discharge, 55,200 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage height, 

14.44 feet), based on extension of rating curve above 16,000 second-feet to peak flow 

of Wyman Dam plus inflow; minimum daily, that of Sept. 3, 1945.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height 

record, which are good. Flow regulated by Moosehead, Brassua, Moxie, and Spencer 

Lakes, First Roach, Second Roach, Dead River, and Wyman Ponds (see pp. 39,43). 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above station.

MERRIMACK RIVER BASIN

Merrimack River at Franklin Junction, N. H.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°25'25", long. 71°39'10", 350 feet upstream from 

abandoned railroad bridge at Franklin Junction, Merrimack County, and 1 mile downstream 

from confluence of Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee Rivers. Datum of gage is 250.4 feet 

above mean sea level, unadjusted.

Drainage area.- 1,507 square miles.

Records available.- July 1903 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 40 years (1905-45), 2,784 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 17,400 second-feet Mar. 30 (gage height, 13.55 

feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum daily, 847 second-feet (regulated) 

Nov. 23.

1903-45: Maximum discharge, 83,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 36.4 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 30,000 second-feet on basis 

of velocity-area studies, slope-area determination, and computation of flow over dam; 

minimum daily, 290 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 24, 1939.

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

backwater from debris, and those computed from graph based on gage readings, all of 

which are good. Flow regulated by power plants and by Franklin Falls Reservoir, fiquam, 

Little Squam, Newfound, Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam, Wentworth, Merrymeeting, and other 

lakes. See pp. 80,85 for description and monthly change in contents of the more important reservoirs.

Extremes.- fiaximura discharge during year, 2,790 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 2 (gage 

height, 7.49 feet); minimum, 22 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 30 (gage height, 1.65 

feet); minimum daily, 59 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 30.

1929-45: Maximum discharge, 20,900 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 19.45 

feet, from floodmarks), by computation of flow over dam 1 mile upstream and over dam 

on Muddy Brook (Little River) 2 miles upstream from its mouth; minimum, 8.5 secondfeet (regulated) Oct. 26, 1935; minimum daily, 11 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 5, 12, 

1930.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. City of 

Putnam diverts an average of less than 1 nilllon gallons per day from Muddy Brook for 

municipal supply. Large diurnal fluctuation, particularly during low water, caused 

by many dams and reservoirs above station, largest of which is Lake Chaubunagungamaug 

with an estimated usable capacity of 207,000,000 cubic feet.

» Winter discharge measuremerft made un this day.

t Change in contents in First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes and Lake Francis.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of 1 discharge measurement, weather records, 

recorded range in stage, and power-plant records.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 2-8, Dec. 17 to Jan. 2, Jan. 8 to Mar. 13. 

Discharge for period Oct. 1 to Nov. 2, Jan. 3-7, May 8, 9 computed from stage graph based on observer's twice-daily chain-gage readings.

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
144 CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN

Connecticut River at South Newbury, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°02'45", long. 72°04'30n , just downstream from 

Dricige at South Newbury, Orange County, 2i miles south of Newbury and 4 miles upstream 

from Waits River. Datum of gage is 374.90 feet above mean sea level, unadjusted.

Drainage area.- 2,825 square miles.

Records available.- July 1918 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 26 years (1918-21, 1922-45), 4,999 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 35,000 second-feet Mar. 31: maximum gage height, 

25710 feet Mar. 31; minimum discharge, 436 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 29 (gage height, 

0.42 foot); minimum daily, 540 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 29.

1918-45: Maximum discharge, 77,800 second-feet Mar. 19, 20, 1936 (gage height, 38.6 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 50,000 second-feet; minimum, 

198 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 4, 1934 (gage height, 0.03 foot ; minimum daily, 222 

second-feet (regulated) Aug. 27, 1934.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Discharge 

ror periods of changing stage computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor. 

Flow regulated by power plants and by First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes, 

Lake Francis, and comerford Station Pond (see p. 151), and other reservoirs. These 

reservoirs have a combined usable capacity of about 9f billion cubic feet.

CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 145

Connecticut River at White River Junction, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°38'50", long. 72°18'45", at downstream side of 

railroad bridge at White River Junction, Windsor County, Just downstream from White 

River. Datum of gage is 321.52 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 4,092 square miles.

Records available.- October 1911 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 34 years, 7,248 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes'.- Maximum discharge during year, 42,900 second-feet Mar. 22 (gage height, 18.10 

feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum, 920 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 30; 

minimum daily, 1,100 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 30.

1911-45: Maximum discharge, 136,000 second-feet Nov. 4, 1927 (gage height, 35.0 

feet, present site), from rating curve extended above 70,000 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum daily, 534 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 7, 1942.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods computed from graph based on two or 

more readings daily of wire-weight gage, which are good, and those for periods of ice 

effect, which are fair. Flow regulated by power plants and by First Connecticut and 

Second Connecticut Lakes, Lake Francis, Comerford Station Pond (see p. 151 ), and other 

reservoirs. These reservoirs have a combined usable capacity of about 10 billion 

cubic feet.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

d Doubtful gage-height record because of partly clogged intakes; discharge computed by adjusting 

gage heights on basis of several observations of lag between inside and outside gages and stage 

change in well when intakes were flushed.

Note..- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Dec. 2 to Mar. 17 (no gage-height record Dec. 10 

to Jan. 10; discharge computed on basis of weather records and records for White River at West Hartford, Ayers Brook at Randolph, and Dog River at Northfield Palls).

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 43°03'20", long. 72°16'15", at 

stone-arch bridge just off Keene-Newport road, 50 feet downstream from VJhite Brook and 

0.7 mile downstream from Gilsum, Cheshire County. Datum of gage is 773.86 feet above 

above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 71.1 square miles.

Records available.- August 1922 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 23 years, 125 second-feet.

Extremes.- Jiaximum discharge during year, 1,560 second-feet June 20; maximum gage height, 

y.bb reet Jan. 1 (ice Jam); minimum discharge, 14 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 20.

1922-45: Maximum discharge, 5,220 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 11.24 

feet), from rating curve extended above 2,000 second-feet on basis of float measurements and slope-area computation at crest stage; maximum gage height, 12.80 feet 

Mar. 19, 1936; minimum discharge, about 1 second-foot (regulated) Oct. 6, 1922, July 10, 

1923.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those above 500 second-feet, which are good, and those 

for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, vrtiich are fair. Flow regulated by 

reservoir above station. Slight diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above 

station.

Millers River at South Royalston, Mass.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 42°37'45", long. 72°09'00", in South Royalston, 

Worcester County, 500 feet downstream from dam and bridge and 0.3 mile downstream from 

Beaver Brook. Datum of gage is 792.00 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 

(levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 187 square miles.

Re-cords available.- July 1939 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,940 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 22 (gage 

height, 6.98 feet); minimum daily, 58 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 5, 6, Sept. 10. 

1939-45: Maximum discharge, 4,400 second-feet Apr. 13, 1940 (gage height, 8.40 

feet); minimum daily, 16 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 25, 1939.

Maximum stage known, 15.9 feet, from floodmarks, Sept. 21 or 22, 1938.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height 

record, which are fair. Flow regulated by Lake Monomonac and other reservoirs, by 

mills and power plants, and at high flow by Birch Hill Reservoir (see p. 151) above 

station.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

t Change in contents in Birch Hill Reservoir.

Hote.- Ho gage-height record Oct. 23 to Hov. 2; discharge computed on basis of 1 discharge measure 

ment, recorded range in stage, weather records, and records for stations near Winchendon and at 

Erving. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 2, 3, 14, 19-24, 26-31, Jan. 2, 3, Jan. 5 to 

Mar. 9, Mar. 12. Discharge in second-feet per square mile and runoff in inches may not represent 

natural flow because of regulation.

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 101

bridge at Farley, 0.6 mile upstream from Mormon Hollow Brook, 2.4 miles downstream from 

Erving, Franklin County, and 5.5 miles upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 375 square miles.

Records available.- August 1914 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 31 years, 631 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,410 second-feet May 19 (gage height, 6.34 

feet); minimum daily, 115 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 9.

1914-15: Maximum discharge, 29,000 second-feet Sept. 22, 1938 (gage height, 13.37 

feet, from floodmarks, site and datum then in use), mean of two slope-area determinations; practically no flow at times during 1915, 1916 because of regulation; minimum 

daily, 8 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 6, 1926.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of ice effect, which are fair. Flow 

regulated by power plants, Lake Monomonac and other reservoirs, and at high flow by 

Birch Hill Reservoir (see p. 151) above station.

98.25 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 497 square miles.

Records available.- June 1914 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 31 years, 927 second-feet (adjusted for diversion since 1914 and for 

change in reservoir contents since October 1931).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 12,600 second-feet Apr. 26 (gage height, 13.65 

reetj; minimum, 104 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 16, 30, Nov. 6; minimum daily, 158 

s~econd-feet (regulated) Oct. 16.

1914-45: Maximum discharge, 55,500 second-feet Sept. 21, 22, 1938 (gage height, 

29.40 feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 18,000 second-feet on 

basis of computations of flow over dam at gage heights 27.20 and 29.40 feet; minimum, 

9 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 2, 1921.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from aquatic vegetation, which are good, and those for periods of Ice effect, which are fair. Flow 

regulated by diversion from Westfleld Little River for municipal supply of Springfield, and by Knlghtville, Borden Brook, and Cobble Mountain Reservoirs (see p. 151).

4~ miles upstream, published as Farmington River at Tariffville.

Average -discharge.- 17 years (1928-45), 996 second-feet (adjusted for storage and dlversion since 1937).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,760 seconds-feet (regulated) Mar. 18 Cgage 

neigtit, 6.74 feet); minimum, 1.6 second-feet (regulated) July 14 (gage height, 0.78 

foot); minimum daily, 6.6 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 30.

1928-45: Maximum discharge, 29,900 second-feet Sept. 22, 1938 (gage height, 13.7

, feet, present site and datum, from floodmark), by computation of flow over Tariffville 

Dam; minimum, that of July 14, 1945; minimum daily, 5.1 second-feet (regulated) Ifer. 5, 

1844.

See Water-supply Paper 891, p. 180, for peak discharges for some outstanding floods.

Remarks.- Records good. Ordinary flow regulated by power plants above station. Flow 

regulated by Otis, Barkhamsted, East Branch, Nepaug, and Whigville" Reservoirs, having 

a combined capacity of about 6,450,000,000 cubic feet (see p. 151), by diversions for 

domestic water supply from Barkllamsted," Nepaug, and Whigville Reservoirs and VJhites 

Bridge pumping plant, and by sewage diversion from city of Bristol.

Park River at Hartford, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder above spillway of timber dam, lat. 41°45'36", long.

72°41'42", at plate-girder footbridge on Riverside Street in Hartford, Hartford County, 

1,300 feet downstream from confluence of North and South Branches and 2.3 miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage Is 27.13 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 

(levels by Department of Engineering, city of Hartford).

Drainage area.- 74.0 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,910 second-feet Apr. 26 (gage height, 6.14 

feet); minimum, 22 second-feet Oct. 3 (gage height, 2.38 feet); minimum daily, 24 

second-feet Oct. 2-4.

1956-45: Maximum discharge, 5,650 second-feet Jan. 25, 1938 (gage height, 9.16 

feet); minimum, about 4 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 23, 1937; minimum daily, 11 

second-feet Oct. 6, 1941, Aug. 28, Sept. 11, 1944; minimum gage height, 1.58 feet 

July 23, Aug. 15, 1943, result of temporary diversions upstream.

Flood of Mar. 12, 1936, reached a stage of 9.0 feet, as determined from floodmrks 

by city engineers of Hartford (discharge, 5,400 second-feet). A stage of 10.7 feet, 

from floodmarks, was reached Mar. 21, 1936, affected by backwater from Connecticut 

River.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or backwater from debris, 

which are fair. Some regulation by mills above station and by storage and diversion 

at Hartford water-supply reservoirs on small headwater streams.

 » Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of weather records and records for 

Branch Hightmile River near North Lyme.

Note_.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 21-25, Jan. 8-31, Feb. 3-6, 10.

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time theret 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

East 

fter.
HEMJNKETESUCK RIVER BASIN 

Menunketesuck River near Clinton, Conn.

217

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°18'10", long. 72°31'00", at Fairy Dell, 100 feet 

downstream from Cobb's Bridge, 1.7 rilles north of Clinton, Illddlesex County, 2.4 miles 

downstream from Kelseytown Reservoir, and 4.9 miles upstream from mouth,

Drainage area.- 11.6 square miles.

Records available.- June 1941 to September 1945.

Extremes (unadjusted for storage or diversion).- Maximum discharge during year, 510 

second-feet Apr. 26 (gage height, 5.21 feet); minimum, 0.10 second-foot Sept. 27, 28 

(gage height, 0.71 foot).

1941-45: rfeximum discharge, 560 second-feet Dec. 30, 1942 (gage height, 6.08 feet); 

no flow at times during August and September 1944; minimum gage height, 0.48 foot 

Sept. 9-12, 1944.

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

or backwater from aquatic vegetation, which are good, and those below 2.5 second-feet 

when storage adjustments were made, which are fair. The daily-discharge record for 

all periods except those of low flow is a summation of daily flow at gaging station and 

daily diversion from Kelseytown Reservoir as measured by venturi meter. During periods 

of low flow diversions from Kelseytown Reservoir are compensated for by release of 

water from Killingworth Reservoir which is located about 2.5 miles upstream from 

Kelseytown Reservoir on a small tributary of Kenunketesuck River. The drainage area 

of Killingworth Reservoir is so small that its yield is considered negligible during 

periods of low flow when it becomes necessary to draw upon it. Therefore, the dailydischarge record for periods of low flow Oct. 1-21, 28-30, Nov. 5-9, July 9-17, 19, 

20, 23-31, Aug. 1-7, 10-26, 28-31, Sept. 1-30 is a summation of daily flow at gaging 

station and daily diversion from Kelseytown Reservoir, minus daily draft on Killingworth Reservoir adjusted for daily change in contents in Kelseytown Reservoir. Draft 

on Killingworth Reservoir is determined at a staff-gage station just below spillway. 

No account is taken of evaporation from reservoir surfaces. Flow at recording gage 

station regulated by Killingworth and Kelseytown Reservoirs and by diversion for 

domestic water supply from Kelseytown Reservoir.

Cooperation.- Venluri-meter records and some other data furnished by Guilford-Chester 

Water Co.

HOUSATOUIC RIVER BASIN 823

Housatonic River at Stevenson, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°23'05", long. 73°09'55", In New Haven County, a 

quarter of a mile upstream from Elghtmlle Brook and a quarter of a mile downstream from 

dam of Connecticut Light & Power Co. at Stevenson, Falrfleld County. Datum of gage Is 

24.98 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. f!. 

Army).

Drainage area.- 1,545 square miles.

Records.' available.- August 1928 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 17 years, 2,515 second-feet (adjusted since 1936).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 14,400 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 2 (gage 

height, 11.39 feet); minimum, 57 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 7 (gage height, 0.66 

foot); minimum dally, 96 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 8.

1928-45: Maximum discharge, 69,500 second-feet Mar. 12, 1936 (gage height, 23.5 

feet, from floodmarks), by computations of peak flow at Stevenson and Derby dams and 

slope-area determination at gaging station; practically no flow at times, result of 

regulation.

Remarks.- Records excellent. Ordinary flow completely regulated by Stevenson hydroelectric plant. Flow regulated by Rocky River, Stevenson and .Shepaug Reservoirs 

(combined usable capacity, 6,600,000,000 cubic feet), and by small diversion from the 

basin at Shepaug Reservoir.

# Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of weather records and records for Naugatuck 

River at Naugatuck and Pomeraug RIVer at Southbury.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Dec. 3-5, 20-22, 27-31, Jan. 12 to Feb. 17.

time basis: Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN

Shepaug River at Woodvllle, Conn.

Location.- Nonrecordlng gages at dam at outlet of Shepaug Reservoir, lat. 41°43'16", long. 

73"17'40", 1 mile north of Woodvllle, Litchfield County, and 3 miles upstream from 

Bantam River.

Drainage area.- 38.0 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1945.

Average discharge.- 10 years, 85.9 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 882 second-feet Apr. 26; no flow 

(regulated) Nov. 15-22.

1935-45: Maximum discharge observed, 6,000 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938; no flow at 

times (result of regulation).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of rapidly changing stage, which are fair. 

Discharge computed on basis of flow over spillway, through floodgates, and through 

fountain at toe of dam. Rating curves for floodgates and fountain computed by means of 

a temporary sharp-crested weir below dsm. Rating curve for spillway computed for discharges below 18.5 second-feet by means of same weir, and for discharges above 18.5 

second-feet by a formula selected to fit spillway-crest sections. At times of ice 

effect on spillway, flow computed from gage readings at a permanent artificial control 

below dam, which was calibrated with the sharp-crested weir. Gages at dam or artificial control usually read once daily. Water diverted from Shepaug Reservoir for 

municipal supply of Waterbury. Flow regulated since September 1933 by Shepaug Reservoir (capacity, 96,000,000 cubic feet).

Cooperation.- Records furnished by Bureau of Engineering, city of Waterbury.

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,700 second-feet, verified by computation of 

flow over dam tor flood in September 1938 (gage height, 10.28 feet); minimum, 0.3 

second-foot (regulated) Aug. 13, 1935; minimum daily, 1.0 second-foot Aug. 11, 1939; 

minimum gage height, 2.02 feet Sept. 17, 1940.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record or baclcwater from 

aquatic growth, which are fair. Flow regulated by storage and diversion at Saugatuck 

Reservoir (total capacity, 11,900,000,000 gallons) and Aspetuck Reservoir. At the 

latter, Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. diverts an indeterminable amount of water for donestic 

supply from about 17 square miles of Aspetuck River drainage through Hemlocks Reservoir in Mill River Basin. Infrequent regulation by Dorr Co.'s dam.

STREAMS ON LONG ISLAND 245

Sampawams Creek at Babylon, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 40°42'15", long. 73°18'50" at 

upstream side of John Street Bridge, 180 feet downstream from Long Island Railroad and 

about 3,000 feet upstream from mouth. Datum of gage Is 6.70 feet above mean sea 

level, adjustment of 1929.

Drainage area.- 22.7 square miles.

Records available.- October 1944 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 37.4 second-feet Apr. 25 (gage height, 0.855 

foot); minimum, 3.48 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 22 (gage height, 0.292 foot); minimum dally, 3.66 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 22.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from aquatic vegetation 

or doubtful gage-height record, which are good, and those for periods of no gage-height 

record, which are fair. Slight intermittent regulation by automatic pumping station 

at railroad upstream. This station is operated in connection with an inventory of 

ground-water resources on Long Island. In addition to records of stream flow, records 

of ground-water levels are collected, some of which are published In water-supply 

papers.

Drainage area.- 150 square miles.

Records available.- October 1927 to September 1945 in reports of Geological Survey.

December 1919 to September 1926 (prior to July 1921, gage heights only) in reports of 

State engineer and surveyor.

Average discharge.- 24 years (1921-45), 597 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- tiaximum discharge during year, 2,560 second-feet Sept. 50 (gage height, 6.37 

feet); minimum, 30 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 27 (gage height, 0.65 foot); minimum 

daily, 48 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 27.

1927-45: Ifeximum discharge, 4,060 second-feet July 9, 1935 (gage height, 8.1 feet, 

from floodmarks); minimum, that of Sept. 27, 1945: minimum daily, 45 second-feet 

(regulated, estimated) Jan. 17, 1901.

Reports of State engineer and surveyor record a maximum discharge o-f 4,210 secondfeet Mar. 9, 1921.

Remarks.- Records excellent. During canal navigation season, water is diverted from

Black River through Forestport feeder and Black River Canal (flowing south) into Delta 

Reservoir above station. Flow almost completely regulated by Delta Reservoir (capacity, 2,800,000,000 cubic feet;). Small quantity of water diverted from Delta Reservoir 

for fish hatchery use and later returned to river, part above and part below station.

HUDSON RIVER BASIN 275

Ilohawk River near Little Falls, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 4o°00'50", long. 74°46'40", 1,800 feet downstream 

from Rocky Rift Dam, 2 miles upstream from East Canada Creek, and 4g miles southeast 

of city of Little Falls, Herkinier County. Datum of gage is 310.0 feet above mean sea 

level (Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 1,348 square miles.

Records available.- February to April 1901, October 1927 to September 1945. November 

1923 to September 1927 in files of State Department of Public Vforks.

Average discharge.- 18 years (1927-45), 2,743 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year (river channel only), 17,300 second-feet liar. 18 

(gage heiglit, 14.59 feet); minimum (river channel only), 790 second-feet (regulated) 

Aug. 24 (gage height, 5.01 feet); ninimum daily (including canal), 1,020 second-feet 

(regulated) Aug. 24, Sept. 7.

1927-45: Maximum discharge (river channel only), 23,200 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 

(gage height, 17.24 feet), from rating curve extended above 15,600 second-feet by 

logarithmic plotting; minimum (river channel only), probably not less than 305 secondfeet Aug. 8, 1933 (gage height, 4.09 feet); minimum daily (including canal), probably 

not less than 463 second-feet Sept. 2, 1954.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. 

Records of daili discharge include diversion at Rocky Rift Dam into Barge Canal for 

power and lockage at lock 16, near St. Johnsville. During canal navigation season, 

water is received from Black River through Black River Canal (flowing south) and 

Lansing Kill and possibly from Chenango River Basin through Oriskany Creek feeder. 

Water is diverted into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River Basin 

through summit level of Barge Canal near Rome. Diurnal fluctuation caused by power 

plants and locks and dams on Barge Canal. Flow partly regulated by Delta and Hinckley 

Reservoirs (combined capacity, 6,120,000,000 cubic feet).

376 HUDSON RIVER BASIN

Mohawk River at Cohoes, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 42°47'05", long. 73°42'25n , at School Street plant 

of New York Power & Light Corp., in Cohoes, Albany County.

Drainage area.- 3,456 square miles.

Hecorris available.- July to October 1925 (computed from records at dam and School Street 

plant or New York Power & Light Corp.) and October 1925 to September 1945. December 

1917 to July 1925 at Crescent Dan, 2 nlles upstream.

Average discharge.- 27 years (1P18-45), 5,651 second-feet.

Met r ernes.- naxiimrni discharge during year, 47,500 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 22 (gage 

height, 17.01 feet); minimum, 90 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 28 (gage height, 4.63 

feet); minimum daily, 615 second-feet Aug. 19.

1925-45: Maximum discharge, 130,000 second-feet Mar. IP, 1936 (gage height, 22.57 

feet), from rating curve extended above 34,500 second-feet bv logarithmic plotting; 

minimum, 6 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 28, 1941 (gage height, 3.40 feot); minimum 

dally, 23 second-feet Aug. 24, 1941.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of Ice effect or no gage-height 

record, which are fair. Records include small diversion ,1ust. above gage for Cohoes 

water supply but do not include diversion through lock 6 at Crescent Dam (see following 

pa^e) for operation of Barge Canal. During canal navigation season, water Is received 

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

possibly from Chenango River Basin through Oriskany Creek feeder. Water is diverted 

into (or may occasionally be received from) Oswego River Basin through summit level of 

Barge Canal near Rome. Most of flow of Schoharie Creek atnve Gllboa Dam, a tributary 

of Mohawk River, Is diverted out of basin through Shandaken tunnel for New York City 

water supply. Flow partly regulated by storage, principally in Delta, Hlnckley, and 

Schoharie Reservoirs (combined capacity, 8,738,000,000 cubic feet). Diurnal fluctuation 

caused by School Street power plant.

Rookaway River below reservoir, at Boonton, N. J.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 40°53'47", long. 74 023'36", 

1,500 feet downstream from dam of Boonton Reservoir, Boonton, Morris County. Datum 

of £age is 195.68 feet above mean sea level (New Jersey Geological Survey bench mark).

Drainage area.- 119 square miles.

Kecordsaval-Lable.- January 1906 to September 1945. March 1903 to February 1904 at 

site 2 miles dovmstream.

Average discharge.- 37 years (1906-11, 1913-45), 218 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during the year, 1,280 second-feet July 21 (gage height, 

5.06 feet); minimum daily, 4.5 second-feet Oct. 9, 14.

1906-45: Maximum discharge, 3,770 second-feet Mar. 12, 1936 (gage height, 8.03 

feet-*, from rating curve extended above 1,200 second-feet by logarithmic plotting 

and verified by computation of discharge over Boonton dam; practically no flow on 

many days (result of regulation).

Maximum daily discharge recorded, 7,560 second-feet Oct. 10, 1903.

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

rair. Figures of daily and extreme discharge include effluent from sewage-disposal 

plant. Flow regulated by Boonton Reservoir (capacity, 870,000,000 cubic feet) from 

which water is diverted for municipal supply of Jersey City.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and record of sewage-disposal plant effluent furnished 

by Jersey City.

Uote.- Water-stage recorder Installed August 1928; chain and staff gages used previously. Ratings 

used prior to September 1928 extended above 70,000 second-feet by logarithmic plotting and velocityarea studies. Ratings used subsequent to September 1928 extended above 100,000 second-feet by logarithmic plotting, velocity-area studies, and slope-area determination at gage height 14.95 feet.

Remarks.- Records excellent except tHose for periods of ice effect or fragmentary gageheight record, which are good. Large diurnal fluctuations at medium and low flow 

caused by power plants on tributary streams. Flow regulated by Lake Wallenpaupack and 

Toronto, Cliff Lake, and Swinging Bridge Reservoirs (combined capacity, 12,300,000,000 

cubic feet).

Cooperation.- Records of storage furnished by Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. for Lake 

Wallenpaupack and by Rockland Light & Power Co. for Toronto, Cliff Lake, and Swinging 

Bridge Reservoirs.

Revisions.- Figures of discharge have been revised for many years during the period 1904-36. 

Figures of discharge far the entire period, superseding those published in previous 

water-Supply Papers.

t Adjusted for change in contents in Whitney Point Reservoir.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed from reconstructed gage-height graph based on recorded 

range in stage, weather records, and records for Whitney Point Reservoir and nearby stations.

Hote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. E-9, 14, 15, Dec. 18 to Jan. 1, Jan. 5 to 

Bar. 2. Backwater from weeds Oct. 1 to Nov. 10, Aug. 4 to Sept. 30.

Time basis; Eastern war time up to 2 a.m., Sept. 30, 1945; eastern standard time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control with V-notch weir, lat. 42°46'00", 

long. 76 01'10 , a quarter of a mile downstream from unnamed tributary, three-quarters 

of a mile upstream from mouth, and 5 miles north.of Truxton, Cortland County Datum of 

gage is 1,281.52 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 3.12 square miles.

Kecorfls available.- November 1932 to September 1945.

Average dischargsT- 12 years (1933-45), 5.98 second-feet

Extremes - naxlmum discharge during ysar, 236 second-feet Mar. 21 (gage height, 3u80 feet): 

mTnTraum, 0.212 second-foot Aug. 23, 24, Sept. 8; minimum gage height, 1.375 feet Oct. 5,

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, backwater from debris, no 

gage-height record, or shifting control, which are fair. This station Is operated in 

connection with a study of the effect of reforestation on stream flow. In addition to 

records of stream flow, records of precipitation, temperature, barometric pressure, soil 

temperature, evaporation, and ground-water levels are collected. Weekly records of 

ground-water levels for 1945 are published in Water-Supply Paper 1023.

492 SUSQUEHANNA. RIVER BASIN 

East Homer Creek at East Homer, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 42°40'10", long. =76°06'1511 , a 

quarter of a mile upstream from highway bridge In East Homer, Cortland County, and half 

a mile upstream from mouth.

Drainage area.- 7.08 square miles.

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1945.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 553 second-feet Mar. 16 (gage height, 3.48 

reet, corrected for effect of partially obstructed Intake); minimum, 0.41 second-foot 

Sept. 9 (gage height, 0.74 foot).

1938-45: Maximum discharge, 640 second-feet Dec. 30, 1942 (gage height, 3.80 feet, 

from graph based on outside-gage reading); minimum, 0.085 second-foot Sept. 2, 3, 19, 

20, 1939 (gage height, 0.595 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, backwater from debris, no 

gage-heIght record, or partially obstructed intake, which are fair. This station Is 

operated in connection with a study of the effect of reforestation on stream flow. In 

addition to records of stream flow, records of precipitation, temperature, humidity, and 

ground-water levels are collected. V/eekly records of ground-water levels for 1945 are 

published in Water-Supply Paper 1023.

mark).

Drainage area.- 159 square miles.

Kecorfls available.- August 1942 to September 1945.

tactremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 7,500 second-feet May 17 (gage height, 11.88 

TeetTT minimum dally, 16 second-feet Oct. 8, 15, 18-20; minimum gage height, 0.76 foot 

Nov. 18, 20 (stop logs in control temporarily removed).

1942-45: Maximum discharge, 9,340 second-feet May 26, 1943 (gage height, 13.30 

feet), by critical-depth method; minimum, 12 second-feet Feb. 1, 1944, result of Ice 

jam upstream; minimum'gage height, that of Nov. 18, 20, 1944.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of lee effect, partly obstructed Intake, 

or doubtful or no gage-height record, which are fair. Records Include dally diversion 

(3 second-feet to 5 second-feet) just above control by Erie Railroad Co. An unknown 

but relatively small amount of water diverted is returned to stream above control. 

City of Hornell diverts an average of about 3.5 second-feet for municipal supply from 

Carrlngton Creek, a tributary above station; sewage enters river below gage. Flood 

flows affected by Arkport Reservoir.
