SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1942

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, 1942. The work was begun in 1888 in connection with 

special studies relating to irrlgatl-on. Measurements of the flow of streams and of the 

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 9,400 gaging stations 

In the United States and also at many gaging stations In Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1942, 

4,970 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at many other points.

In the execution of the work many state and private organizations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting In collecting data. Cooperation of the first 

kind Is acknowledged In connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation of the second kind Is acknowledged on page 10.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units In which stream-flow data are presented In this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet" Is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot Is the 

rate of discharge of a stream whose channel Is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity Is 1 foot per second.

"Second-feet per square mile" Is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the runoff Is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Runoff In Inches" Is the depth to which an area would be covered 1* 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 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 646,317 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, 1942, PART 2

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist ot 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 on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the dally mean gage hslght to these 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 eome distance from the base gage. At some stations 

the stage-discharge relation Is affected by changing stage, and for them the rate of 

change of stage is used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at some In the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice during 

the winter, which makes it impossible to compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect Is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available Information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. The days 

Included In the periods of ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are Indicated In the table by symbols referring to footnotes 

or are given In a general note following the table.

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 daily 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 

determined from the best available maps, and information in regard to diversions that

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage cr 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 daily discharge if there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the 

minimum gage height (unless it Is of no importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage 

recorder or a nonrecordlng 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 stations having 

drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 square miles or If the 

peak discharges usually exceed the corresponding mean discharges for the day by less than 

10 percent.

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 flashy floods 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. 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 daily mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation 

the dally mean gage height may not Indicate the true daily 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 daily mean discharge from a continuous gage-height 

graph and containing as an essential element a curve representing the stage-discharge 

relation at the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-d'ays" 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 and 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 ths country was moved 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. This made February 9 a 23-hour day. Time prior to 2 a.m.
4 SURFACE-WATER SUPPLY, 1942, PART 2

February 9 as given herein refers to standard time; time after 2 a.m. February 9 refers 

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

Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, published herein have been computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed 

on the basis of war time. The discharge given for February 9 Is the mean for 23 hours. 

The mean discharge and runoff for the month of February have been computed from the total 

second-foot-days for the month without adjustment for the fact that February 9 was a 23- 

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.

Ths station description gives a statement In regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" Indicates that, In general, the dally records are accurate within

5 percent; "good," within 10 percent; "fair," within 15 percent; and "poor," within 20 

or a higher 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 "secondfeet 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 of reservoirs or for other changes 

incident to use and control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and runoff In Inches 

are also omitted If the drainage area Includes large noncontrlbutlng areas or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage area Is less than 20 Inches.

Many gaging stations on streams in the Irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

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

below the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge presents in summary the distribution of the flow past 

the station. The table of dally discharge affords opportunity for more detailed studies 

of the variation In flow. As further observations In each succeeding year may be expected 

to throw new light on data previously published, It should be borne In mind that such data 

are subject to revision in succeeding water-supply papers.

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

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 7. The data for any particular 

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. 7), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

stations In the area covered by that report. Gaging stations at whloh 10 or more complete years of record have been collected are represented. These summaries are available 

also as separate reprints.

Note.- The Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture began durIng the 2-year period 1938-39 to make studies of runoff from five areas In Georgia and five In 

Virginia. Four of the areas In Oeorgla, comprising less than 60 acres each, are near Amerlcus, 

and one, comprising 19.2 acres. Is near Wat kins villa. Three of the areas In Virginia are near 

Chatham, and two are near Blackbstmrg; each comprises less than SO acres. The same bureau also 

collected records of discharge at a gaging station on Enoree River near Greenville, 3. C. (drainage area, 64.4 square miles) from 1939 to 1942, when the station was discontinued. These records 

are In the files of the Soil Conservation Service.

JAMES RIVER BASIN 57

Wlllls River at Flanagan Mills, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°40' f long. 78°11', at highway bridge a quarter of 

 a mile downstream from Flanagan Mills, Cumberland County, half a mile downstream from

Trices Lake, and 4 miles downstream from Reynolds Creek. Datum of gage Is 178.98 feet

above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. 3. Army).

Drainage area.- 247 square miles.

Records available.- April 1926 to January 1935, September 1936 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 14 years (1926-34, 1936-42), 235 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, ?.,800 ., second-feet - Aug. . 10 (gage height, 14.85

 feet); minimum, 8.9 second-feet Oct. 15 (gage height, 2.87 feet).

1926-35, 1936-42: Maximum discharge, 11,300 second-feet Apr. 27, 1937 (gage height, 

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

basis of velocity-area studies; minimum, 2 second-feet Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 4, 12, 1930.

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

 possibility of backwater effect from James River during extremely high stages on

that stream. Complete regulation of flow from Trices Lake, tributary to Wlllls River, 

slightly affects flow at gage.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

at site 9 miles upstream, publlehed as Roanoke River at Old Gaston.

Average discharge.- 30 years (1912-42), 8,289 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 55,400 second-feet Aug. 11 (gage height, 15.32 

reet); minimum, 825 second-feet Oct. 23 (gage height, 1.75 feet); minimum dally, 1,240 

second-feet Oct. 25.

1911-42: Maximum discharge, 261,000 second-feet Aug. 18, 1940 (gage height, 39.0 

feet, from floodmarks); minimum, 458 second-feet Sept. 21, 1932 (gage height, 1.25 

feet); minimum dally, 472 second-feet Sept. 21, 1932.

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

are ralr. Diurnal fluctuation at low stages caused by power plant above station. 

Discharge during floods computed by using submergence as determined by auxiliary gage 

as a factor.

NEUSE RIVER BASIN 101

Neuse River near Northside, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°02'25B , long. 78°45'05", at Fish Dam Bridge, 14

miles downstream from Seaboard Railway bridge and 2 miles south of Northside, Granvllle

County. Datum of gage is 226.32 feet above mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers,

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 526 square miles. 

Records available.- July 1927 to September 1942. 

Average discharge.- 15 years, 516 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,260 second-feet May 17 (gage height, 16.47

feet;; maximum gage height, 16.50 feet lay 17; minimum discharge, 5.4 second-feet Oct.

27, Nov. 10 (gage height, 0.87 foot).

1927-42: Maximum discharge, 26,600 second-feet Oct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 28.64

feet), from rating curve extended above 8,000 second-feet; minimum, 3.1 second-feet

Sept. 20, 1932 (gage height, 0.87 foot). 

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

are fair. Discharge for periods of changing stage computed by using rate of change of

stage as a factor. Slight diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station.

Low flow slightly regulated by Durham Reservoir. For diversion, see "Fla.t River at dam,

near Bahama.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 25,900 second-feet Mar. 10 (gage height, 14.96 

 reet); maximum gage height, 15.09 feet Mar. 11; minimum discharge, 223 second-feet Oct.

27 (gage height, 0.44 foot).

1937-42: Maximum gage height observed, 24.0 feet July 28, 1938 (discharge not

determined); minimum discharge, 200 second-feet Oct. 20, 1940 (gage height, 0.42 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1,000 second-feet and those for periods of 

estimated lock valve openings or doubtful submergence factor, which are fair. Normal 

stage-discharge relation used in determining discharge below gage height 6.0 feet; 

submergence of dam and lock is used as a factor in determining discharge between gage 

heights 6.0 and 16.5 feet; stage-discharge relation above gage height 16.5 feet not 

yet determined. Considerable diurnal fluctuation and some regulation for short periods 

at low stages caused by power plants above station.

Discharge, in seoond-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN 117

Reedy Fork near Gibsonville, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 3I? 0 10'30", long. 79°37'0d", a quarter of a mile

downstream from Huffines Mill, li miles upstream from Buffalo Creek, and 6 miles northwest of Gibsonville, Gullford County.

Drainage area.- 133 square miles.

Records available.- September 1928 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 14 years, 116 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 2,890 second-feet Mar. 10 (gage height, 9.74 

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,400 second-feet; minimum, 0.6 second-foot 

sometime during period of no gage-height record Nov. 12 to Dec. 8 (gage height, 0.65 

foot, from recorded range in stage); minimum daily, 0.9 second-foot Sept. 25.

1928-42: Maximum discharge, 4,390 second-feet Jan. 20, 1936 (gage height, 13.28 

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,400 second-feet; minimum, that during period 

Nov. 12 to Dec. 8, 1941; minimum daily, that of Sept. 25, 1942.

Flood of July 1916 reached a stage of 17.90 feet from flood-crest reference marks 

placed, by landowner.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 5 second-feet, those above 1,500 second-feet, 

and those computed from partly estimated gage heights, which are fair, and those for 

periods of indefinite stage-discharge relation or no gage-height record, which are 

poor. Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station. Flow 

regulated by storage 14 miles above station for Greensboro water supply, wnere an average discharge of 12.7 second-feet was diverted during the year.

Rating tables, water year 1941-42, except period of indefinite stage-discharge relation

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 56.200 second-feet Mar. 10 (gage height, 24.46 

feet); minimum, 60 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 10 (gage height, 4.70 feet); minimum 

daily, 94 second-feet Nov. 9.

1938-42: rfexlmum discharge, 78,700 second-feet Aug. 16, 1940; maximum gage height, 

28.27 feet Aug. 17, 1940; minimum discharge, that of Nov. 10, 1941; minimum daily, 

that of Nov. 9, 1941.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 600 second-feet, which are fair, and those computed from gage heights based on partial record, which are poor. Rate of change In 

stage and changes In channel storage occasionally are factors in computing the discharge. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station. Flow largely 

regulated by three reservoirs above station which have a combined usable capacity for 

normal operation of 17,338,000,000 cubic feet.

138 FEE DEE RIVER BASIN

Pee Dee River near Rockingham, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 34°56'10", long. 79°51'10", at State highway bridge 

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

plant, and 6 miles west of Rockingham, 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 1942.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 7,326 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 61,100 second-feet Mar. 10 (gage height, 11.08 

feetjy minimum, 143 second-feet Jan. 5 (gage height, 0.40 foot); minimum dally, 170 

second-feet Nov. 23.

1927-42: Maximum discharge, 212,000 second-feet Sept. 19, 1928 (gage height, 25.38 

feet), from rating curve extended above 110,000 second-feet; minimum, that of Jan. 5, 

1942; minimum daily, 152 second-feet July 28, 1940.

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

records.

Remarks.- Records good. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station. 

Flow largely regulated by four reservoirs above station which have a combined usable 

capacity for normal operation of 17,638,000,000 cubic feet.

p.m. ) 4,650 sec.-ft.

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of weather records, recorded range in stage, 

and records for nearby streams.

h Computed from staff-gage readings.

Time basis; Eastern standard tima prior to 2 a.m., Feb. 9, 1942; eastern war time thereafter. 

To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
SANTEE RIVER BASIN 165

Catawba River at Catawba, II. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 55°42'50", long. 81°04'10", 10 feet downstream from 

bridge on U. S. Highway 70, a quarter of a mile upstream from Lyle Creek, half a mile 

upstream from Southern Railway bridge, and 1 mile northeast of Catawba, Catawba County. 

Datum of gage is 746.49 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplenentary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 1,535 square miles, revised (including that of Lyle Creek).

Records available.- July 1896 to April 1902, Ilovember 1954 to September 1942.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1896-99, 1935-42), 2,515 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 20,600 second-feet Sept. 7 (gage height, 14.48 

feet); minimum, 107 second-feet Nov. 9 (gage height, 2.16 feet).

1896-1902, 1934-42: Maximum discharge, 177,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage 

height, 36.8 feet, from floodmarks), by computation of flow at Lookout Shoals power 

plant by Duke Power Co.; minimum, that of Nov. 9, 1941.

Maximum stage known, 44.1 feet July 16, 1916, affected by failure of earth dyke at 

Lookout Shoals Dam-4 miles above station (from levels by State Bridge Department).

Remarks.- Records good except those below 500 second-feet and those for days of partly 

estimated ^.age-height record, which are fair. Records Include the discharge of Lyle 

Creek. Large diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station. Flow largely 

regulated by four reservoirs above station which have a combined usable capacity of 

14,975,000,000 cubic feet for normal operation.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record collected in cooperation with U. S. Weather Bureau.

SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN 207

Savannah River at Burtons Ferry Bridge, near Mlllhaven, Ga.

Dcatlon.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 32°56'2Q", long. 81 030'10", at bridge on State 

Highway 73, 2 miles downstream from Rocky Creek and 9 miles east of Mlllhaven, Screven 

County. Datum of gage is 52.42 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary 

adjustment of 1936 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 8,650 square miles.

Records available.- October 1939 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 73,000 second-feet Mar. 26 

feet); minimum, 2,160 second-feet Oct. 25 (gage height, 1.72 feet). 

1939-42: Maximum discharge, 141,000 second-feet Aug. 18, 1940 ' 

feet); minimum, that of Oct. 25, 1941.

Remarks.- Records fair. Plow partly regulated by Burton and Mathis Reservoirs (combined 

usable capacity, 129,000 acre-feet) which regulate flow from 150 square miles of headwater drainage area on Tallulah River. Operation of navigation dam near Augusta 

causes occasional fluctuation. Figures of monthly runoff closely represent those for 

natural runoff except during periods of extremely low flow. For records of change In 

reservoir contents, see data for Tugaloo River near Hartwell, Ga.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and six discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, U. S. Army.

216 SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN 

Augusta Canal near Augusta, Ga.

Location.- TWO water-stage recorders near upper end or Augusta Canal. Lower gage, lat.

 33U 30'50", long. 82°00'15n , 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 149.42 feet above mean sea level, datum 

of 1929.

Records available.- November 1930 to September 1942. 

Average discharge.- 11 years, 2,543 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,980 second-feet May 21; minimum'daily, 

M4 second-feet Feb. 19.

1930-42: Maximum daily discharge, that, of May 21, 1942; no flow Apr. 8 to May 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 

power houses returned to river by three channels above Thirteenth Street Bridge. 

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

Little River, 4 miles northwest of Gainesville, Hall County, and 6 miles upstream 

from Chestatee River. Datum of gage Is 974.98 feet above mean sea level, datum of 

1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 559 square miles.

Records available.- January 1939 to September 1942. June 1901 to December 1903 at 

site 2* miles upstream. April 1937 to December 1938 at site three-quarters of a 

mile downstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 23,300 second-feet Feb. 17 (gage height, 

16.4 feet, from floodmark); minimum daily, 242 second-feet Oct. 13, 19, 26.

1937-42: Maximum discharge, 30,500 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height, 

18.7 feet), from rating curve extended above 20,000 second-feet on basis of 

velocity-area studies; minimum dally, that of Oct. 13, 19, 26, 1941.

A stage of 28.4 feet was observed Dec. 29, 1901, site and datum then in use (discharge Indeterminate, but probably exceeded that of Aug. 14, 1940; figure published 

in Water-Supply Papers 83 and 197 believed to be too low).

Revisions.- The peak discharge of Aug. 30, 1940 has been revised to 7,190 second-feet, 

superseding figure published In Water-Supply Paper 892.

Remarks.- Records good. Some diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above station.

» Gage height obtained from graph baaed on gage readings, t Maximum, or minimum, dally discharge

1903-42: Maximum discharge, 54,700 second-feet Dec. 10, 1919 (gage height, 27.1 

feet), by computation of flow over Bull Sluice Dam 17 miles below station; minimum discharge observed, 132 second-feet Aug. 25, 1925 (gage height, 0.5 foot).

Remarks.- Records fair except those for water year 1941-42, which are good. Moderate 

diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station, probably some regulation at 

very low flows prior to September 1936. Gage read once daily prior to Nov. 20, 1927, 

and twice daily thereafter.

Cooperation.- Gage readings furnished by U. S. Weather Bureau for period Oct. 1, 1923, to 

Nov.( 19, 1927. Twenty-two discharge measurements and daily gage heights for period 

Nov. 20, 1927, to Sept. 30, 1937, furnished by Georgia Power Co. Gage readings for 

period Oct. 1, 1937, to Sept. 30, 1941, furnished by Mrs. Mildred House.

1912, 1929-42: Maximum discharge, 84,700 second-feet Apr. 9, 1936 (gage height, 

38.24 feet); minimum, 294 second-feet Oct. 23, Nov. 14, 1931 (gage height, 0.06 foot); 

minimum daily, 480 second-feet Oct. 31, 1931. 

Maximum stage known, 53.2 feet, Mar. 15, 1929.

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

are fair. Discharge for periods of changing stage computed by using rate of change 

of stage as a factor. Flow regulated by power plants upstream and by Bartlett Ferry 

Reservoir, 17i miles upstream. This reservoir, completed in 1926, has usable 

capacity of 134,000 acre-feet which is used for commercial power production at this 

and downstream power plants of Georgia Power Co., which furnishes records of monthly 

reservoir contents.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

MOBILE RIVER BASIN 383

Alabama River near Millers Ferry, Ala.

Location.- Wire-weight gage, lat. 32°07', 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 1942. Gage-height records collected at 

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

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 132,000 second-feet Mar. 27 (gage 

height, 47.4 feet); minimum observed, 4,700 second-feet Oc.t. 23 (gage height, 3.02 

feet); minimum dally, 5,260 second-feet Oct. 23.

1937-42: Maximum discharge, 237,000 second-feet Apr. 14, 1938 (gage height, 56.6 

feet); minimum observed, that of Oct. 23, 1941;. minimum dally, that of Oct. 23, 1941.

Flood In March 1929 reached a stage of 56.8, from floodmarks. 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 daily. Discharge after Dec. 1 computed by 

using fall as determined by readings of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Flow regulated by hydroelectric plants and reservoirs on Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers 

(see p. 385 ).

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1941 to September 1942

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

Records available.- January 1959 to September 1942.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,400 second-feet Mar. 23 (gage height, 15.01 

feet, north canal gage); maximum gage height observed, south canal, 15.60 feet Apr. 11; 

minimum discharge (combined flow), 8.6 second-feet July 22; minimum gage height, north 

canal, 3.05 feet July 22; minimum gage height observed, south canal, 7.51 feet Oct. 2.

a stage of 24.5 feet, from floodmark, sometime between 19EO and 1925.

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

low-water channels except when discharge in north canal exceeds 1,390 second-feet -or 

that in south canal exceeds 403 second-feet, during which periods discharge determined 

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