SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS, 1943

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, 1943. 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 9,670 gaging statlona 

In the 48 States and also at many In the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1943, 

5,130 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 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 gaglng-statlon 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 1s 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 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 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."
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 1

"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.

"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 daily mean gage height to these 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-disoharge 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 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, arltlflcal 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. II 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 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 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 thoge 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 obtain-- 

Ing 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 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 succeedlr^ reports.
PURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 1 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 zones of the country was moved 

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

computed on the basls-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 dally 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 dally records.

Yield at some stations as Indicated by monthly means may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease In evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures 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 1» contents of 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 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 data, grouped by years 

and drainage basins, are listed by number on page 8. 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. 8), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

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

also as separate reprints.

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 11

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge 

collected .during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on 

the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special 

reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these 

special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses and 

compilations of data relating to earlier noteworthy floods. The following list gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 45°14'15", long. 68°39'10", at highway bridge 1,000 

feet downstream from Piscataquis River and 1 mile southwest of West Enfield, Penobscot 

County. Datum of gage is 125.9 feet (revised) above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 6,600 square miles (including about 240 square miles drained by Chamberlain Lake through Telos Canal).

Records available.- November 1901 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 36 years (1907-43), 11,540 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 46,100 second-feet Hay 13 (gage 

height, 12.10 feet); minimum, 3,400 second-feet Sept. 7 (gage height, 2.16 feet).

1901-43: Maximum discharge, 153,000 second-feet May 1, 1923 (gage height, 25.15 

feet); minimum, 1,470 second-feet Oct. 29, 1905 (gage height, 1.0 foot).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or backwater from

aquatic vegetation, which are good. Flow regulated by several reservoirs above station 

(see p. 30).

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graphs and many winter discharge measurements furnished 

by T. W. Clark, hydraulic engineer, of Old Town.

Correction.- Corrected figures for the calendar year 1941 are given herewith. They supersede erroneous figures published in Water-supply Paper 951.

'

N°te.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 3 to Feb. 28 (no gage-height record Ji 

;o Feb. IS; discharge computed on basis of record for station at MooseheadT. 

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
42 KENNEBEC RIVER BASIN 

Kennebec River at Bingham, Maine

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 45°03'0511 , long. 69°53'15", at Bingham, Somerset 

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

Stream, and If miles downstream from Wyman Dam. Datum of gage Is 330.0 feet above

mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. 

Drainage area.- £,710 square miles.

Records available.- June 1907 to June 1910, October 1930 to September 1943. 

Average aiscnarge.- 15 years (1907-9, 1930-43), 4,151 second-feet. 

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 23,000 second-feet June 12 (gage

height, 10.84 reet); minimum daily, 820 second-feet Dec. 25.

1907-10, 1930-43: 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, 570 second-feet Sept. 7, 1942. 

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

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

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

Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above station.

Rating table, water year 1942-43, except periods of ice effect

Drainage area.- 622 square miles. 

Records available.- January 1886 to September 1943. 

Average discharge!- 40 years (1903-43), 1,355 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 12.600 second-feet May 13 (gage height, 9.13

 feet); minimum, 70 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 20, 21; minimum daily, 222 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 21.

1903-43: Maximum discharge, 65,400 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 29.0 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 33,000 second-feet on basis of 

computations of flow over dam at gage heights 23.0, 27.4, and 29.0 feet; minimum observed, 45 second-feet several times In August, September, and October 1923.

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

which are fair. Some diurnal fluctuation caused by power plants above station.

' from Clematis Brook. Datum of gage is 20.02 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 227 square miles (not including 23.6 square miles drained by Stony Brook,

 runoff from which Is diverted for municipal supply of Cambridge).

Records available.- October 1903 to October 1909 (figures of average weekly discharge,

equivalent to figures of unadjusted discharge at present site), August 1931 to September

1943. 

Average discharge.- 12 years, 370 second-feet (adjusted for diversions, wastage, and

leakage). 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,180 second-feet (regulated) Mar. 12; maximum

 gage height, 3.59 feet Feb. 15, affected by Ice; minimum discharge, 0.2 second-foot 

(regulated) Sept. 29, 30 (gage height, 0.34 foot).

1931-43: Maximum discharge, 2,540 second-feet Mar. 19, 1935 (gage height, 4.79 

feet); minimum, that of Sept. 29, 30", 1943.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, which are fair. Flow

, affected by wastage from Stony Brook Reservoir, wastage and leakage from Norumbega

Reservoir, diversion to Mother Brook, and diversions for municipal supply of Wellesley, 

Needham, Dedham, Brookllne, Newton, and Waltham, all above station. Low flow completely 

regulated by the Boston Edison Co. power plant above station.

Revisions.- Revised figures of diversions and wastage, in millions of gallons, mean discharge in second-feet, per square mile, and runoff, in Inches, for October and November 

1941 are given herein. These figures include adjustments for wastage from Cochituate 

Aqueduct and supersede those published In Water-supply Paper 951, which did not include 

this adjustment. '

132 THAMES RIVER BASIN 

Natchaug River at Willimantic, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°43'14", long. 72°11 I 53", 200 feet downstream

 from New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad bridge, 1 mile northeast of Willimantic, 

Windham County, and li miles upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 150.31 feet 

above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 169 square miles.

Records available.- October 1930 to September 1943.

Average aiscnarge.- 13 years, 309 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,880 second-feet Dec. 31 (gage height, 9.33

 feet); minimum, 1.9 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 11; minimum daily. 2.3 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 11, 12; minimum gage height, 1.53 feet (regulated) Oct. 15.

1930-43: Maximum discharge, 32,000 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 16.39 

feet, from floodmarks), by computation of flow at dam 2 miles above station; minimum, 

about 0.3 second-foot (regulated) Aug. 6, 1937; minimum daily, that of Sept. 11, 12, 

1943.

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

 record, which are fair. City of Willimantic diverts an average of about 1 million 

gallons of water a day from reservoir 2 miles above station for municipal supply. 

Operation of water wheels causes diurnal fluctuation at low flow.

b Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice.

Hote.- Backwater from aquatic vegetation Oct. 1 to Dec. 12, Dec. 15, 18, June 9 to Sept.

Tine basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

136 THAMES RIVER BASIN 

Quinebaug River at Putnam, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°54'30", long. 71°54'30", at Putnam, Windham

County, 600 feet downstream from Muddy Brook (Little River) and 3 miles downstream from 

French River.

Drainage area.- 331 square miles.

Records available.- December 1929 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 14 years, 561 second-feet.

Extremes.- mxlmum discharge during year, 3,600 second-feet (regulated) Dec. 31 (gage 

height, 8.35 feet); minimum, 16 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 4 (gage'height, 1.56 

feet); minimum daily, 19 second-feet (regulated) Sept. -19.

1929-43: 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 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 26, 1935; minimum daily, 11 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 5, 12, 1930.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. City of Putnam diverts an average of less than 1 million gallons 

per day for municipal supply. Large diurnal fluctuation, particularly during low 

water, is 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 measurement made on this day.

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

Hote.- No gage-height record Dec. 20 to Jan. 11, July 27, July 29 to Aug. 7; discharge computed on 

basis of recorded range in stage, 2 discharge measurements, engineers' notes, weather records, and 

records for power plants above and below station. Stage-discharge relation affected try ice Dec. 16 

to Mar. 25.

Time basis; Eastern war tine. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
. CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 145

Connecticut River at South Newbury, Vt.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat, 44°02'45", long. 72°04 1 30", Just dovmstream from 

orioge at South Newbury, Orange County, 24 miles south of Newbury, and 4 miles Upstream from Walts 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 1943.

Average discharge.- 24 years (1918-21, 1922-43), 4,975 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 29,300 second-feet May 13 (gage height, 22.40 

rSSTJT minimum, 458 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 19 (gage height, 0.46 foot); minimum 

dally, 480 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 19.

1918-43: Maximum discharge, 77,800 second-feet Mar. 19, 20, 1936 (gage height, 

38.6 teet, 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 

dally, 222 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 27, 1934.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of Ice effect, which are fair. Discharge 

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

Plow 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.

§ Computed from graph baaed on twice-daily wire-weight gage readings, 

ate.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 16 to Mar. 26. 

Time basia; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 147

Connecticut River at North Walpole, N. H.

Location.- Water-stage recover, lat. 43°07'35", long. 72°26'15", at North Walpole, 

Cheshire County, 100 feet Upstream from Saxtons River, and 0.7 mile downstream from 

Vilas Bridge between Bellows Falls, Vt., and North Walpole, N. H. Datum of gage is 

218.63 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 5,493 square miles, including Saxtons River Basin.

Records available.- March 1942 to September 1943 (includes flow of Saxtons River).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 53,700 second-feet Apr. 28 (gage height, 21.04 

feet); minimum daily, 225 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 24.

1942-43: Maximum discharge, 54,400 second-feet Apr. 8, 1942 (gage height, 21.48 

feet); minimum daily, 195 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 16, 30, 1942. 

Maximum stage known,'43.8 feet from floodmarks, Mar. 19, 1936.

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

record, which are good above 2,000 second-feet and fair below. Flow regulated by 

power plants and by First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes, Lake Francis, 

Comerford Station Pond, four reservoirs in Mascoma River Basin, and Lake Sunapee 

(see p. 151), and other reservoirs. These reservoirs have a combined usable capacity 

of about 12i billion cubic feet.

Drainage area.- 7,163 square miles.

Records available.- January 1915 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 28 years, 11,690 second-feet (adjusted).

Remarks.- Discharge computed by adding flow over and through dam, flow for factories 

through canal that diverts around dam, and flow through power stations 1 and 2 of 

Turners Falls Power & Electric Co. Flow regulated by power plants and by First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes, Lake Francis, Comerford Station Pond, four 

reservoirs in Mascoma River Basin, Lake Sunapee, and Surry Mountain Reservoir 

(see p. 151) and other reservoirs. These reservoirs have a combined usable capacity 

of about 14s billion cubic feet.

gage is 38.48 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 9,661 square miles.

Records available.- July 1938 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 16,000 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 75,000 second-faet Apr. 29 (gage height, 5.80

 feet); minimum daily, 2,520 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 27.

1928-43: mximum discharge, 282,000 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage height, Ib.b 

feet, from floodmarks); ninimum daily, 1,120 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 7, 1942.

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

 of discharge include water diverted around station by canal of Connecticut Light & 

Power Co. Flow regulated by power plants, by diversion from Chicopee River Basin, and 

by First Connecticut and Second Connecticut Lakes, Lake Francis, Comerford Station 

Pond, four reservoirs in Mascoma River Basin, Lake Sunapee, Surry Mountain Reservoir, 

two reservoirs in Deerfield River Basin, Quabbin Reservoir, Watershops Pond, Knightville Reservoir since May 1943, Borden Brook and Cobble Mountain Reservoirs

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,190 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 3.79 

feet, from recorded range In stage); minimum, 9.S second-feet (regulated) Sept. 27 

(gage height, 0.66 foot); minimum dally, 11 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 12, 26,

1941-43: Maximum discharge, 1,340 second-feet Mar. 3, 1942 (gage height, 4.06 feet); 

minimum, 6.5 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 22, 1941 (gage height, 0.64 foot); minimum dally, 7.0 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 26, 1941.

Flood of September 1938 reached a stage of about 7.3 feet, from floodiiarl:s (dis 

charge, 5,800 second-feet, by slope-area method and.computation of flow over dam).

Revision.- The maximum discharge for the period July 19 to Sept. 30, 1941 has been 

revised to 293 second-feet Aug. 25, 1941 (gage height, 2.04- feet), superseding figure 

published In Water-Supply Paper 921.

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

which are fair. Flow regulated by Whlgville Reservoir (see p. 151) and mills above 

station. Diversion for municipal water supply of city of New Britain from North Branch 

Pequabuck River at effluent of sewage disposal plant of city of Bristol Is diverted 

Into the Qulnnlplac River. Basin.

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 nlles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Ttolmum discharge during year, 2,630 second-feet Dec. 31 (gage height, 6.84 

feet); minimum dally (excluding days of diversions, explained under "Remarks" below), 

14 second-feet Sept. 27; minimum gage height, 1.58 feet July 23, Aug. 15, result of 

diversions.

1936-43: Maximum discharge, 5,650 second-feet Jan. 25, 1938 (gage height, 9.16 

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

second-feet Oct. 6, 1941; minimum gage height, that of July 23, Aug. 15, 1943.

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

and those for June 14 to Sept. 10, which are fair. Some regulation by mills above 

station and by storage and diversion at Hartford water-supply reservoirs on small 

headwater streams.

During period June 14 to Sept. 10 most of flow was diverted around gage Into 

Connecticut River through two existing trunk-line Intercepting sewers, In connection 

with flood-control construction In lower reaches of Park River. One headworks at a 

point 4,500 feet above station, and another 1,800 feet above, were situated as as to 

divert flow of South and North Branches, generally permitting only a small anount of 

flow to reach gaging station. Daily discharge figures for this period as given herein 

are summations of diversions and residual flow past gaging station.

 feet); minimum, 0.2 second-foot Sept. 13, 14, 30; minimum gage height, -0.08 foot 

Sept. 14.

1937-43: Maximum discharge, 2,950 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 7.00 

feet), computed on basis of study of flow at contracted control section; no flow 

Sept. 3, 1938, result of regulation; minimum daily, about 0.03 second-foot (regulated) 

Oct. 2, 1941.

Reilarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, which are fair. Slight 

regulation at low flow.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time_, subtract 1 hour.
MENUNKETESUCK RIVER BASIN 215

Menunketesuck River near Clinton, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°18'10", long. 72Q31'00", at Fairy Dell, 100 feet 

downstream from Cobb's Bridge, 1.7 miles north of Clinton, Middlesex 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 1943.

Extremes (unadjusted for storage or diversion).- 1941: Ifeximuii discharge during period 

June 9 to Sept. 30, 21 second-feet June 19 (.gage height, 1.56 feet); minimum, about 

0.01 second-foot Sept. 13-30; minimum gage height, 0.51 foot Sept. 21-30.

1941-42: Ifeximum discharge during water year, 330 second-feet liar. 22 (gage height, 

4.58 feet); minimum, about 0.01 second-foot several times Oct. 1-10; riinimum gage 

height, 0.51 foot Oct. 1.

1942-43: Ifeximum discharge during water year, 560 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 

6.08 feet); minimum, about 0.01 second-foot Sept. 27-30; minimum gage height, 0.53 foot 

Sept. 30.

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

or backwater from debris, or aquatic vegetation, which are good, and those for periods 

of low flow when storage adjustments were made, July 20 to Oct. 29, Nov. 10-13, 1941, 

July 22-28, Aug. 3-10', Oct. 7 to Nov. 4, 1942, July 16-30, Aug. 6 to Sept. 30, 1943, 

which are fair. The daily-discharge record for all periods except those for very low 

flow is a summation of flow at gaging station and diversion from Kelseytown Reservoir 

as measured by Venturi meter. During periods of low flow the stage of Kelseytown Reservoir is normally maintained within 1 foot of spillway crest by drawing on Killingworth 

Reservoir which is located about 2.5 miles upstream from Kelseytown Reservoir on a 

small tributary of Ifenunketesuck 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. The daily-discharge record for periods of low flow is, 

then, a summation of flow at gaging station, diversion from Kelseytown Peservoir, and 

change in contents In Kelseytown Reservoir, minus the draft on Killingworth Reservoir. 

Draft on Killingworth Reservoir is determined at a staff-gage station just below spillway. Ho account is taken of evaporation from the reservoirs.

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

Water Co.

HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN 225

Housatonlc 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 Eightmile Brook and a quarter of a mile downstream 

from dam of Connecticut Light & Power Co. at Stevenson, Fairfield County. Datum of 

gage Is 24.98 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 1,545 square miles.

uecords available.- August 1928 to September 1943.

Average aisctiarge.- 15 years, 2,491 second-feet (adjusted since 1936).

Extremes.- naxiium discharge during year, 17,100 second-feet (regulated) Dec. 31 (gage

 height, 12.33 feet); minimum, 54 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 30 (gage height, 0.62 

foot); minimum dally, 262 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 28.

1928-43: 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.

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

and records for Still River near Lanesville, Pomperaug Ri^er at Southbury, and Naugatuck River near 

Naugatuck.

b Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

Time basis I -Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN 

Still River near Lanesville, Conn.

227

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°31'14", long. 73°25'09", at highway bridge li

miles south of Lanesville, Litchfield County, 2 miles upstream from mouth and 4 miles

south of New Mllford. Datum of gage is 213.05 feet above mean sea level, datum of

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

Drainage area.- 68.5 square miles. 

Kecoras available.- October 1931 to September 1943. 

Average aisctiargeT- \Z years, 115- second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 850 second-feet June 3; maximum gage height,

7.9iJ feet Dec. 31. backwater from ice; minimum discharge, 16 second-feet Sept. 14 (eaee

height, 0.94 foot).

1931-43: Maximum discharge, 4,410 second-feet Sept. 22, 1938 (gage height, 10.88

feet), from rating curve extended above 1,900 second-feet by logarithmic plotting:

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
228 HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN

Shepaug River at Woodvllle, Conn.

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

 long. 73°17'40", 1 mile north of Woodvllle, Litchfleld County, and 3 miles upstream 

from Bantam River.

Drainage area.- 38.0 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 566 second-feet Dec. 31; minimum

 observed, 2.4 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 21 to Sept. 30.

1935-43: 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 flood gates, and through 

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

of a temporary sharp-cjfested weir below dam. 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. 4t 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, Conn.

Revisions.- Revised figures of diversion and change In reservoir contents and adjusted

 discharge and runoff are given herein. They supersede those published In Water-Supply 

Papers 801, 821, 851, 871, 891, 921, and 951. The revisions resulted from re-rating 

of the diversion tunnel.

230 HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN

Shepaug River near Roxbury, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41 032'53", long. 73°19'51", at highway bridge 0.7 

mile south of Roxbury Station, li miles southwest of village of Roxbury, Lltchfleld 

County, and 2 miles upstream from Jacks Brook. Datum of gage Is 282.07 feet above 

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

Drainage area.- 133 square miles.

Records available.- October 1930 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 13 years, 238 second-feet (adjusted after Oct. 1, 1935).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,470 second-feet Dec. 30 or 31 (gage height, 

 7.37 feet, from recorded range in stage); minimum, 6.6 second-feet Sept. 29, 30 (gage 

height, 1.42 feet).

1930-43: Maximum discharge, 10,500 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 12.8 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 3,500 second-feet by logarithmic plotting on basis of two computations of flow over dam; minimum, that of Sept. 29, 

30, 1943.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of Ice effect, backwater from leaves, or 

no gage-height record, whlcfi are fair. Water diverted from Shepaug Reservoir for 

municipal supply of Waterbury. Flow regulated by Shepaug Reservoir (capacity, 

96,000,000 cubic feet).

Revisions.- Revised figures of diversion and change In reservoir contents, and adjusted 

discharge and runoff are given herein for months, that the revision Is more than 

5 percent of the adjusted mean. They supersede those published in Water-supply Papers 

801, 821, 871, 891, 921, and 951. Revisions are the result of re-rating diversion 

tunnel at Shepaug Reservoir.

b Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice. 

f Computed Computed on basis of partly estimated estimated gage-height record.

Hote.- Ho gage-height record Oct. 4-15, Feb. 15-18, Aug. 20 to Sept. 26; discharge computed on 

basis of recorded range in stage, weather records, and records for nearby stations.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
234 HOUSATONIC RIVER BASIN

Naugatuck River near Naugatuck, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°28'15", long. 73 003 l 10n , 0.2 mile upstream from 

Beacon Hill Brook, 1.3 miles downstream from Naugatuck, New Haven County, and 12 miles 

upstream from mouth. Datum of gage is 155.17 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 

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

Drainage area.- 246 square miles.

Records available.- June 1918 to September 1924, September 1928 to'September 1943.

Average aiscnarge.- 21 years, 430 second-feet (adjusted since 1936).

KXtremes.- naximum discharge during year, 6,730 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 6.93 

reet); minimum, 58 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 13 (gage height, 0.24 foot); minimum 

daily, 78 second-feet Aug. 23, 24.

1918-24. 1928-43: Maximum discharge, 17,000 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 

12.40 feet), from rating curve extended above 4,700 second-feet by logarithmic plotting 

and verified by comparison with records for headwater streams; minimum, 24 second-feet 

(regulated) Oct. 21, 1935; minimum daily, 40 second-feet Oct. 5, 12, 1930, Sept. 7, 1936; 

minimum gage height, 0.14 foot July 17, 1939.

Flood of November 1927 reached a stage of 14 feet (discharge, about 18,300 secondfeet).

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

and those above 3,000 second-feet, which are poor. Flow regulated by plants above station during low stages and Morris and Wigwam Reservoirs (combined capacity, 360,000,000 

cubic feet). Flow Increased by diversion from Shepaug Reservoir into Naugatuck River 

Basin.

262 HUDSON RIVER BASIN 

Glens Falls feeder at Glens, Falls, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°17 l 30n , long. 73°39'5511 , at upstream end of 

reeaer canal at city of Glens Falls, Warren County. Auxiliary water-stage recorder 

1,000 feet downstream from cement mill and 3.3 miles downstream from base gage.

Records available.- May 1927 to September 1943 In reports of Geological Survey. May 1919 

to June 1921 and October 1924 to September 1925 In reports of State engineer and 

surveyor.

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

whicn are fair. Dally discharge determined by use of Chezy formula, variations in 

coefficient C throughout season being computed from current-meter measurements. 

Flow regulated In accordance with requirements of Champlaln Canal and for floating 

logs. Operation of feeder discontinued Nov. 30 and resumed Apr. 12. During period 

for which no diversion Is shown feeder may carry a small flow representing leakage 

through head gates and runoff from area tributary to feeder above station.

272 HUDSON RIVER BASIN

Mohawk River near Little Falls, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°CC I 5C", long. 74°46'4C", 1,800 feet downstream

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

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

level (Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 1,348 square miles.

Hecords available.- February to April 1901, October 1927 to September 1943. November

 19<!I4 to September 1927 in Tiles of State Department of Public Works.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1927-43), 2,739 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year (river channel only), 19,800 second-feet Mar. 17

 (gage height, 15.73 feet); minimum (river channel only), 762 second-feet (regulated) 

Sept. 28 (gage height, 4.96 feet); minimum daily (including canal), 993 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 29.

1927-43: Maximum discharge (river channel only), 23,200 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 

(gage height, 17.24 feet); minimum (river channel only), probably not less-than 305 

second-feet Aug. 8, 1933 (gage height, 4.09 feet); minimum daily (including canal), 

probably not less than 463 second-feet Sept. 2, 1934.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect or doubtful gage-height 

record, which are fair. Records of daily discharge include diversion at Rocky Rift Dam 

into Barge Canal for lockage and power 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 Criskany 

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).

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1942 to September 1943

« Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

d Doubtful gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of weather records and records for 

Mohawk River below Delta Dam near Rome and West Canada Creek at Kast Bridge.

Note.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 14, 16-22, 27, Jan. 9-11, 18-30, Feb. 3, 

8-10, 12-19, Mar. 2-10.

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HUDSON RIVER BASIN 273 

Mohawk River at Cohoes, N. Y.

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

or New York Power & Light Corporation in Cohoes, Albany County.

Drainage area.- 3,456 square miles.

KBcoras avallable.- July to October 1925 (computed from records at dam and School Street 

plant or new York Power & Light Corporation) and October 1925 to September 1943. 

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

Average discharge.- 25 years (1918-43), 5,651 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year,- 63.900 second-feet Dec. 31 (gage height, 18.62 

TeeTJ7 minimum, 69 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 14, July 25 (gage height, 4.43 feet): 

minimum daily, 273 second-feet Sept. 19.

1925-43: Maximum discharge, 130,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 22.57 

feet) from rating curve extended above 34,500 second-feet by logarithmic plotting: 

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

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

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

Discharge includes small diversion Just above gage for Cohoes water supply but does 

not include diversion through lock 6 at Crescent Dam (published herewith) 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 above Gilboa 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, Hinckley, and 

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

caused by School Street power plant.

Rating table, water year 1942-43, except periods of ice effect (gage 

height, in feet, and discharge, in second-feet)

Hote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 9, 12-30, Jan. 6 to Mar. 18 (no gage-height 

record Feb. 17-19; doubtful gage-height record Jan. 22-30, Feb. 15, 16, Feb. 27 to Mar. 12). 

Time basis; Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.
HUDSON RIVER BASIN 277

Ninemile feeder near Holland Patent, II. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 4o°15'25", long. 75°12'15", 

at mouth of feeder, half a mile downstream from highway bridge that is 3 miles east 

of Holland Patent, Oneida County, and 6 miles downstream from intake.

Records available.- June 1919 to September 1943 (navigation seasons only).

Renarks.- Records excellent except those below 100 second-feet, which are good. Canal 

diverts from West Canada Creek at Trenton Falls. Water reaches Barge Canal through 

Ninemile Creek. Discharges shown subsequent to discontinuance of diversion on 

Nov. 25 and prior to resumption of diversion on June ^8 are nade up of channel 

storage, leakage through head gates, and runoff from area tributary to feeder above 

station. This flow may continue during period of no record.

East Canada Creek at Dolgeville, II. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°06'05", long. 74°46'15", at Dolgeville, Herklmer 

County, 100 feet downstream from lower highway bridge and 1 nile downstream fron Spruce 

Creek. Datum of gage is 750.00 feet-above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 261 square niles.

Records available.- September 1898 to December 1909, January to November 1912 (at High 

Falls, 1 mile downstream), and October 1927 to September 1943 in reports of Geological 

Survey. January 1910 to December 1911 and February 1913 to June 1918 (at High Falls) 

in reports of State engineer and surveyor.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1927-43), 643 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 7,860 second-feet Apr. 28; maximum gage height, 

11.37 feet Mar. 16, ice Jam; ninimum discharge, 7.0 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 14, 

25, 27, 30 (gage height, 5.41 feet); minimum daily, 53 second-feet Sept. 26.

1927-43: Maximum discharge, 13,100 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 (gage height, 11.81 

feet), by computation of flow over dams at Inghams and Beardslee Falls hydroelectric 

plants; minimum, about 4 second-feet frequently when plant is shut down and there is 

no spillage; ninimum daily, 20 second-feet Aug. 11, 14, 1941.

Maximum discharge known, 14,500 second-feet Mar. 26, 1913, from reports of State 

engineer and surveyor.

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

Little Falls diverts about 5 second-feet for municipal supply. Slight regulation by 

Canada Lakes (capacity, about 441,000,000 cubic feet). Diurnal fluctuation at low 

and medium stages caused by power plant above station.

Cold Spring Brook at China, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control with V-notch weir, lat. 42°09'35", 

long. 75°23'35", 1 mile upstream from China and 2 miles west of Upper Barbourville, 

Delaware County. Datum of gage is 1,490.76 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 

1912 (levels by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Records available.- October 1934 to September 1943.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 86 second-feet Dec. 30 (gage height, 3.35 

reet); minimum, 0.022 second-foot Sept. 29, 30 (gage height, 1.135 feet, from range 

line).

1934-43: Maximum discharge, 335 second-feet Oct. 30, 1935 (gage height, 4.5 feet, 

from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 55 second-feet on basis of theoretical rating; minimum, 0.008 second-foot Aug. 3, 1936 (gage height, 1.075 feet).

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

whlen 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 rainfall, temperature, and ground-water levels are collected. Weekly records of groundwater elevations for 1943 are published in Water-Supply Paper 986.

430 SUSQUEHANHA. RIVER BASIN

Susquehanna River at Marietta, Pa.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°03'15", long. 76°S1'50", 420 feet upstream from 

Chlckles Creek and 1 mile downstream from Marietta, Lancaster County. Datum of gage 

Is 200.00 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Drainage area.- 25,990 square miles.

Records available.- October 1931 to September 1943.

Average discharge"?- 12 years, 34,330 second-feet.

Extremes.- mxlmum discharge during year, 428,000 second-feet Jan. 1 (gage height, 53.20 

feet;; minimum dally, 2,800 second-feet Sept. 26.

1931-43: mxlmum discharge, 787,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 60.73 

feet;, from rating curve extended above 450,000 second-feet; minimum, 618 second-feet 

Sept. 26, 1932 (gage height, 30.89 feet), when York Haven power plant was shut down 

In order to obtain current-meter measurements at low water; minimum dally, 1,380 

second-feet Sept. 26, 1932.

mxlmum stage known prior to 1931, 58.3 feet June 2, 1889, from floodmark (discharge, about 700,000 second-feet).

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

record, which are good. Discharge below 8,000 second-feet regulated by Metropolitan 

Edison Co. plant at York Haven. Accuracy of records for entire period has been 

verified Independently by Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. by comparison with records 

obtained at Safe Harbor, Holtwood, and Conowingo hydroelectric plants below station.

Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 3.12 square miles.

Records available.- November 1932 to September 1943.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1933-1945), 5.95 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 328 second-feet Mar. 16 (gage height, 4.22 feet), 

from rating curve extended above 174 second-feet; minimum, 0.144 second-foot Aug. 11, 

12 (gage height, 1.325 feet).

1932-43: Maximum discharge, 416 second-feet June 24, 1940 (gage height, 4.45 feet), 

from rating curve extended above 174 second-feet; minimum, 0.065 second-foot Aug. 11, 

1934 (gage height, 1.22 feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or doubtful or no gageheight record, 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 

1943 are published In Water-Supply Paper 986.

bench mark).

Drainage area.- 596 square miles. 

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1943. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 45,900 second-feet Oct. 16 (gage height, 22.87

 feet), from rating curve extended above 19,000 second-feet; minimum, 46 second-feet 

Sept. 30 (gage height, 1.47 feet).

1938-43: Maximum discharge, that of Oct. 16, 1942; minimum, that of Sept. 30, 

1943.

Flood of Mar. 29, 19E4, reached a stage of about 24 feet (discharge, about 55,000 

second-feet). Flood of Mar. 17, 1936, reached a stage of about 23.5 feet, from floodmarks (discharge, about 50,000 second-feet). 

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

 regulation at low flow by Stony River Reservoir, about 66 miles above station capacity, about 1,932,000,000 gallons), see preceding page.
