SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1944

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, 1944. 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 10,000 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1944, 

5,340 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 i» 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-statlon records In each volume. In the present 

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

QEFINITICR 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 conmonly used In connection 

with storage for Irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" Is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

hours. It Is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,817 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 title 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, 1944, PART 2

"Contents" Is a term applied to the volume of water In a reservoir, not Including water 

In bank storage unless so 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 dally flow. 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 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 

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 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 from 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 fhe 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 of- 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 tab|.e showing the dally 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.ru!); 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 

loweet 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 

eecond-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 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.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1944, PART 2 5

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 sones of the country was moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. Recorde of daily discharge prior to February 9, 1942, were 

computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed 

on, the basis of war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

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," lees 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 sone stations ae indicated by monthly neans may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by etorage, Increase or decrease in evaporation 

due to artificial causee, 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 inches are aleo omitted if the drainage area includes large 

noncontritmting 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 Statee are situated above most of the diversions from thoee streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

does not show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations 

below the station mist 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 ma> 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 basins, are listed by number on ,page 8. The data for any particular gaging 

station will, in general, be found in the repprts 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 bddy 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

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The city of Lynchburg, Va., has collected records of daily discharge of Pedlar River 

at Pedlar Dam, va., since August 1921. These records have not been published.

The Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture has 

collected records of runoff in selected areas in the south Atlantic slope basins as 

follows: in Virginia, from 3 areas of less than 20 acres each near Chatham beginning in 

1938 and from 3 acres of less than 20 acres each near Blacksburg beginning in 1939; in 

Georgia from 1 area of 19.2 acres near Watkinsville beginning in 1939. These records are 

not published but are available in the files of the Soil Conservation service.

The Corps of Engineers, united States Army, has, since 1936, collected records of dailj 

discharge at gaging stations in the eastern Gulf of Mexico drainage basins. Records 

since date of establishment for some of these stations are published in this report. 'As 

they become available, records for the other stations will be published in subsequent 

water-supply papers.

height, 26.95 feet Sept. 22; minimum discharge, 1,040 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 11 

(gage height, 1.97 feet); minimum daily, 1,240 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 11.

191L-44: Maximum discharge, 261,000 second-feet Aug. 18, 1940 (gage height, 39.0 

feet, from floodmarks); minimum, 458 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 1932 (gage 

height, 1.25 feet); minimum daily, 472 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 1932.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those below 3,000 second-feet, which are good. Diurnal 

fluctuation at low flow caused by power plant above station. Discharge during floods 

computed by using submergence as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1943 to September 1944

ROANOKE RIVER BASIN 

Roanoke River near Scotland Neck, N. C.

73

Location.- Water-stage racorder, lat. 36°12'30", long. 77°23'10", at bridge on U. S.

Highway 258, 1 mile downstream from tributary on right, 3 miles downstream from Bridgers 

Creek and'5i miles'north of Scotland Neck, Halifax County. Auxiliary water-stage 

recorder at Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge 8£ miles downstream. Datum of each 

gage is 5.77 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 

, 1936.

Drainage area.- 8,700 square miles.

Records available.- August 1940 to September 1944. July 1896 to my 1903 at site of 

auxiliary gage, at different datum, published as Roanoke River at Ueal.

Extrernes.- Maximum discharge during year, 96,300 second-feet Sept. 23; maximum gage 

height, S6.02 feet Sept. 23; minimum discharge, 1,340 second-feet Sept. 11-12.

1940-44: Maximum discharge, 260,000 second-feet Aug. 19, 1940; maximum gage 

height, 41.98 feet Aug. 19, 1940; minimum discharge, 1,200 second-feet Oct. 16, 1941.

Maximum stage observed during period June 1930 to July 1940, 35.1 feet Jan. 24, 

1936 (from unpublished U. S. Weather Bureau records adjusted to present datum). The 

following data on major floods (adjusted to present gate datum) were furnished by 

State Highway Commission: 1877, about 37.8 feet; March 1912, 36.8 feet; 1919, 34.9 

feet; 1924, 32.9 feet.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of fragmentary gage-height record, 

which are good. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary gage as 

a factor.

Dan River near Wentworth, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°24'45", long. 79°49'45", at Settles Bridge, 34

miles northwest of Wentworth, Rockingham County, and 7i miles downstream from Mayo 

River.

Drainage area.- 1,050 square miles. 

Records available.- November 1939 to September 1944. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 27,600 second-feet Sept. GO (gage height, 23.05

feet); minimum, 149 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 11 (gage height, 1.32 feet); minimum

daily, 182 second-feet Sept. 11.

1939-44: Maximum discharge, 50,200 second-feet Aug. 15, 1940 (gage height, 26.9

feet), from rating curve extended above 16,500 second-feet on basis of slope-area

determination at gage height 26.9 feet and runoff comparisons; minimum, that of Sept.

11, 1944. 

Remarks.- Records excellent except those below 300 second-feet and those for Oct. 1 to

Nov. 22, which are good, and those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record,

which are poor. Slight diurnal fluctuation at low flow caused by power plants above

station.

CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN 113

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

Location.- Water-stage recorder, 100 feet above concrete dam and lock, lat. 34°50 1 00n , 

long. 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 1944.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 42,500 second-feet Mar. 22 (based on unpublished 

records for station at Fayettevllle); maximum gage height, 22.60 feet Mar. 22; minimum 

discharge, 428 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 24 (gage height, 0.71 foot): minimum dally, 

505 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 24.

1937-44: Maximum gage height observed, 24.0 feet July 28, 1938 (discharge not 

determined); minimum discharge, 200 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 20, 1940 (gage 

height, 0.42 foot'); minimum dally, 260 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 19, 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, those for days of 

indefinite stage-discharge relation, which are fair, arid those computed from twicedaily staff gage readings, which are poor. Discharge for periods when gage heights 

were above 6.0 feet computed by using submergence of dam and lock, as determined by 

auxiliary gage, as. a factor. Slight diurnal fluctuation and some regulation for 

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

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1943 to September 1944

Drainage area.- 3,980 square miles.

Records available.- January 1919 to November 1927, November 1941 to September 1944.

extremes.,- Maximum discharge during year, 41,600 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 30 (gageneignt, 11.73 feet); minimum, 14 second-feet (regulated) Dec. 13 (gage height, 1.91 

feet); minimum daily, 18 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 3, 17, 24, Nov. 14.

1919-27, 1941-44: Maximum discharge,. 76,600 second-feet July 21, 1919 (gage height, 

15.9 feet, present datum, from floodmarks as determined by Tallassee Power Co.), from 

rating curve extended above 53,000 second-feet by velocity-area studies; minimum, 10 

second-feet (regulated) Aug. 10, 1942 (gage height, 1.84 feet); minimum daily, 12 

second-feet (regulated) Aug. 9, 1942.

Maximum stage known, 22.1 feet (present datum) in July 1916, from floodmarks from 

records by Tallassee.Power Co.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,200 second-feet, which are fair. Large

diurnal fluctuation caused by High Rock power plant above station. Flow largely regulated by High Rock Reservoir, which has a usable capacity for normal operation of 

i>-,230,000,000 cubic feet.

Cooperation.- High Rock Reservoir capacity curve and elevations furnished by Carolina 

Aluminum Co.

132 PEE DEE RIVER BASIN 

Pee Dee River near Rocklngham, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat.. 34°56'10", long. 79 051'10n , at bridge on U. S.

 Highway 74, 1 mile upstream from Falling Creek, 4 miles downstream from Blewett Falls 

hydroelectric plant, and 6 miles west of Rocklngham, Richmond County. Datum of gage 

is 120.68 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 6,870 square miles.

Records available.- September 1927 to September 1944.

Average discharger- 17 years, 7,857 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extreme's.- Maximum discharge during year, 87,000 second-feet Mar. 21 (gage height, 14.44

 feet); minimum, 143 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 25 (gage height, 0.34 foot); minimum 

daily, 158 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 24. >

1927-44: Maximum discharge, 212,000 second-feet Sept. 19, 1928 (gage height, 25.3S 

feet), from rating curve extended above 110,000 second-feet; minimum, 148 second-feet 

(regulated) Jan. 5, 1942 (gage height, 0.40 foot); minimum daily, 152 second-feet 

(regulated) July 28, 1940.

Maximum stage known, 31.28 feet sometime in 1908, from State Highway Department 

records. . 

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge -for period of no gage-height record computed on basis

 or power output at Blewett Falls plant. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power 

plants above station. Flow largely regulated by four reservoirs above station which 

have a combined usable storage capacity for normal operation of 17,638,000,000 cubic 

feet.

Cooperation.- Capacity curves" and elevations for High Rock and Narrows Reservoirs

 furnished by Carolina Aluminum Co. and those for Tillery and Blewett Reservoirs 

furnished by Carolina Power & Light Co.

16.

1942-43: Maximum discharge.during water year, 32,300 second-feet Mar. 24-28, from 

rating curve extended above 13,000 second-feet by computations of flow over spillway 

at Lake Marion; maximum gage height, 23.23 feet Mar. 27; minimum daily discharge, 91 

second-feet Oct. 27.

1943-44: Maximum discharge during water year, 122,000 second-feet Mar. 24 (gage 

height, 29.52 feet), from rating curve extended above 13,000 second-feet by computations

Maximum stage known, 24.E feet sometime in July 1916, from flood-crest reference mark 

placed by local resident.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those below 40 second-feet and those for periods of no 

gape-height record, which are fair. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants 

above station; considerable regulation by Lake Summit and Turner Reservoirs (combined 

usable storage, 264,455,000 cubic feet).

Location.- Two water-stage recorders near upper end of Augusta Canal. Lower gage, lat. 

33"30'50", long. 82°00'15", 1.6 miles northwest of Augusta, Richmond County, and 4.6 

miles downstream from Stevens Creek power dam; auxiliary gage, 1,000 feet downstream 

from diversion dam and 3.4 miles upstream from lower gage. Datum of each gage is 

46.58 feet above city of Augusta datum or 148.92 feet above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Records available.- November 1930 to September 1944. 

Average discharge.- 13 years (1931-44), 2,573 second-feet.

Extremes.- Ifeximum daily discharge during year, 3,490 second-feet Jan. 4; minimum daily, 

179 second-feet r&r. 22.

1930-44: Ifeximum daily discharge, 3,980 second-feet May 21, 1942; no flow Apr. 8 

to my 10, 1936.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of fragmentary gage-height record, which 

are fair. Discharge computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage 

recorder as a factor. Canal diverts water from Savannah River at dam 1 mile downstream from Stevens Creek Dam for power and municipal supply. Waste water from powerhouses returned to river by three channels above Thirteenth Street Bridge. Water is 

pumped from canal for.municipal supply of Augusta, and a small amount entering Beaverdam ditch is discharged into river about 13 miles below Augusta.

Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 33 years (1902-20, 1929-44), 6,355 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 62,800 second-feet Mar. 26 (gage height, 31.2 

reet ); minimum dally, 1,250 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 17.

1902-21, 1929-44: Maximum discharge, 64,800 second-feet Jan. 22, 1943 (gage 

height, 31.6 feet); minimum, 58 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 18, 1933 (gage height, 

0.44 foot); minimum daily, 327 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 24, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 37.84 feet Jan. 21, 1925, from floodmarks, present site 

and datum (discharge, 92,000 second-feet, from rating curve extended above 60,000 

second-feet).

Remarks.- Records good. Flow regulated by power plants above station. Capacity of 

reservoirs insufficient to materially affect figures of monthly runoff.

Time basis; Central war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
388 MOBILE RIVER BASIN

Alabama River near Millers Ferry, Ala.

Location.- Wire-weight gage, lat. 32°&7', long. 87°24', In NWi sec. 8, T. 13 N., R. 7 E.,

 at bridge on State Highway 28, just downstream from Prairie Creek and 2i miles northwest of Millers Ferry. Datum of gage is 26.85 feet above mean sea level, datum of 

1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army). Auxiliary staff gage at site 9f 

miles downstream at different datum.

Drainage area.- 20,700 square miles.

Records available.- October 1937 to September 1944. Gage-height records collected at

 same site since 1931 are contained In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 174,000 second-feet May 2 (gage

 height, bl.7 feet); minimum observed, 8,080 second-feet Oct. 10 (gage height, 5.17 

feet); minimum dally, 8,080 second-feet Oct. 10.

1937-44: Maximum discharge, 237,000 second-feet Apr. 14, 1938 (gage height, 56.6 

feet); minimum observed, 4,700 second-feet Oct. 23, 1941 (gage height, 3.02 feet); 

minimum daily, 5,260 second-feet Oct. 23, 1941.

Flood in March 1929 reached a stage of 56.8 feet, from floodmark. Flood in April 

1886 reached a stage of from 1 to 5 feet higher than that of March 1929.

Remarks.- Records good. Gages read twice dally. Discharge computed by using fall as

determined from readings of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Flow regulated by hydroelectric plants and reservoirs on Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers (see p. 390).

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1943 to September 1944

452 MOBILE RIVER BASIN

Tomblgbee River near Leroy, Ala.

Location.- Staff gage above spillway of navigation dam at lock 1, lat. 31°34',

long. 88°02', in sec. 13, T. 7 N., R. 1 W., 4 miles upstream from Jackson Creek 

and 5 miles northwest of Leroy. Datum of gage Is 7.28 feet below mean sea level, 

datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 19,100 square miles.

Records available.- October 1928 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 16 years, 25,080 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 144,000 second-feet Apr. 12 (gage height, 

41.6 reet); minimum daily, 995 second-feet (result of crest-gate manipulation) 

Oct. 12.

1928-44: Maximum discharge, 192,000 second-feet Apr. 10, 1938; maximum gage 

height, 46.0 feet Apr. 2, 1929; minimum daily discharge not determined, figure of 

50 second-feet previously published believed too low.

Remarks.- Records good above 6,000 second-feet, fair below. Discharge between 20,000 

ana 72,000 second-feet computed by using rate of change of stage as a factor. 

Discharge below 8,000 second-feet determined by using number of gates raised on 

crest of dam as a factor. Some regulation at low flow by lock and clam. Gage read 

twice daily.

Tuscolameta Creek at Walnut Grove, Miss.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 32°35', long. 89°28', in T. 9 N., R. 8 E. Choctaw

 meridian, at bridge on State Highway 35 over north drainage canal, 0.4 mile southwest 

of Walnut Grove, 0.8 mile upstream from Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad bridge, 7t niles 

 upstream from junction of north and south drainage canals, and 15i miles upstream from 

mouth. Auxiliary water-stage recorder at bridge over south drainage canal on State 

Highway 35, 5,000 feet southwest of north canal gage. Prior to Nov. 24, 1943, auxiliary gage was staff gage at same site and datum. Datum of each gage is 332.70 feet 

above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1941 (levels by Corps 

of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 411 square miles (combined drainage area for all channels). 

Records available.- January 1939 to September 1944.

Extremes.- Miximum discharge during year, 11,700 second-feet Mir. 30 (gage height, 18.01

 feet, north canal gage); maximum gage height observed, south canal, 18.70 feet Mar. 29; 

minimum discharge (combined flow), 8.3 second-feet Oct. 12; minimum gage height, north 

canal, 2.72 feet Oct. 12, 27; minimum gage height observed, south canal, 7.24 feet 

Nov. 1.

1939-44: Maximum discharge, 12,600 second-feet (revised, superseding figure 

published in Water-Supply Paper 972), Mir. 22j 1943'(gage height, 18.15 feet, north 

canal gage); maximum gage height observed, south canal, 18.88 feet Ilar. 22, 1943; minimum discharge (combined flow), 5.0 second-feet Aug. 28, 29, 1943; minimum gage height, 

north canal, 2.63 feet Aug. 28, 1943; minimum gage height observed, south canal, 7.07 

feet Aug. 29, 1943. -

Maximum stage known, north canal, 19.3 feet, from floodmark, Apr. 8, 19o8; south 

canal, 20.2 feet, from floodmark, Apr. 8, 1938. Prior to canalization, creek reached 

a stage of 24.5 feet, from floodmark, sometime between 1920 and 1925.

Remarks.- Records fair. Discharge computed by combining flow of individually rated low-

 water channels except when discharge in north canal exceeds 1,100 second-feet or that 

in south canal exceeds 594 second-feet, during which periods discharge determined from 

combined stage-discharge relation for all channels referred to gage on north canal.

Revisions.- Revised figures of discharge, in second-feet, for the high-water period in 

T the water year 1943, superseding those published in Water-supply Paper 972, are given
