SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1937

SCOPE OF WORK

Thla volume la one of a series of 14 reports presenting reaulta of meaauremsnta of 

flow made on atreams In the United Statea during the water year ending September 30, 1937. 

The work waa begun In 1888 In connection with apeclal studies relating to Irrigation. 

Ifeaaurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,200 polnta In the United Statea 

and alao at many points In Alaaka and the Hawaiian lalanda. In July 1937, 3,380 

gaging atatlons were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating 

organlzatlona. Many miscellaneous dlecharge measurements were made at other points.

In the execution of the work many State and private organlzatlona have cooperated, 

either by furnlahlng data or by aaslatlng In collecting data. Acknowledgmenta for 

cooperation of the flrat kind are made In connection with the description of each station affected; cooperation of the aecond kind la acknowedged on page 8.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The unlta In which atream-flow data are preaented In thla report and other terms used 

herein are defined as followa:

"Second-feet" la an abbreviation for "cubic feet per aecond." A aecond-foot la a 

rate of flow of 1 cubic foot per aecond, or the rate of dlacharge of water flowing In a 

channel when the croaa-aectlonal area Is 1 square foot and the average velocity la 1 

foot per aecond.

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

aecond from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off la distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off In Inchea" la the depth to which an area would be covered If all the water 

flowing from It In a given period were uniformly distributed on Its surface. It Is used 

for comparing run-off with rainfall, which Is usually expressed In Inches.

An "acre-foot", equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, la the quantity required to cover an 

acre to the depth of 1 foot. fhe term la commonly used In connection with atorage for 

Irrigation.

"Second-focrt-day" la the volume of water repreaented by a flow of .1 second-foot for 

24 hours.

"Stage-dlacharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage height 

to dlacharge."

"Control" la a term used to dealgnate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the

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 gage heights and discharge 

meaaurementa In determining the dally flow. The records of stage are obtained either
2 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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 gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge 

measurements. The application of the dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally discharge from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge Is computed.

The data presented for each gaging station In the area covered by this report usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope 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 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. Information under "Extremes" gives 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, and also the minimum discharge If useful; and the minimum gage height except when 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 represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualified.

The table of dally discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, 

the discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readIngs of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

daily gage height may not Indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, 

an Instrument for obtaining the mean dally discharge from a continuous gage-height graph 

and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the discharge given In the table of dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge and not the discharge when the water surface 

was at crest height. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given Is the 

minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" Is the average flow In cubic feet per 

second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation of stage, measurements of flow, 

and interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement under "Remarks" in regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that, In general, the daily records are

in error not more than 5 percent; "good", not more than 10 percent; "fair", not more than 

15 percent; and "poor", over 15 percent.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing past the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth 

in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted 

for Irrigation or other use, or by inability to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off in inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas in which the annual 

rainfall is less than 20 inches.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams,

PUBLICATIONS

The foregoing table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on 

surface water supply published from 1899 to 1937. 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 from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area covered 

by part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 

473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

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 in the same relative order as the regular gaging stations. An index 

of the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

From time to time reports have been published that are compilations of records for 

various areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. These reports contain records 

previously published (some of which have been revised), as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. The following table gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports, arranged in alphabetical order by States and 

drainage basins.

BRAZOS RIVER BASIN 35

Brazos River at Waco, Tex.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 31°33'40", long. 97°07'45", at Washington Avenue 

Bridge in Waco, McLennan County, 24 miles below mouth of Bosque River. Zero of gage 

is 357.10 feet above mean sea level (general adjustment of 1929).

Drainage area.- 28,500 square miles, of which about 9,240 square miles is probably 

noncontributing.

Records available.- September 1898 to December 1911, October 1914 to September 1937. 

Average discharge.- 36 years, 2,588 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 47,700 second-feet Oct. 1 (gage height, 25.60 

feet); minimum, 52 second-feet Aug. 20, 21.

1898-1911, 1914-37: Maximum discharge, 246,000 second-feet Sept. 27, 1936 (gage 

height, 40.90 feet), when levee on left bank was overtopped and broken by flood; no 

flow Aug. 20, 21, 1918, and probably several days in August 1923.

A stage of 39.7 feet occurred Dec. 3, 1913, when levee on left bank was broken by 

flood.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 7,000 second-feet, which are fair. Most of 

 ffiie~figures of discharge below 2,000 second-feet were computed from graph drawn on

basis of twice-daily gage readings, one of which readings was furnished by U. S.

Weather Bureau. Numerous small diversions above station do not appreciably affect

flow except during low stages. Flow partly regulated by Lake Waco, on Bosque River

near Waco (capacity 39,000 acre-feet).

Discharge, In seoond-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

COLORADO RIVER BASIN 63

North Concho River near Carlsbad, Tex.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 31°36', long. 100°40', just above State Sanatorium 

Dam and 2 miles above Carlsbad, Tom Green County. Zero of gage Is 2,000.8 feet above 

mean sea level (general adjustment of 1929). Prior to Feb. 8, 1937, staff gage at 

same site and datum.

Drainage ag area.- 1,529 square miles, of which about 123 square miles Is probably noncontrlbutlng. rlb

Records available.- March 1924 to September 1937. 

Average discharge.- 13 years, 69.0 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 41,400 second-feet June 1 (gage height, 13.85 

feet), from rating curve extended above 5,000 second-feet on basis of three measurements by slope-area method; no flow Sept. 21-30.

1924-37: Maximum discharge, 94,600 second-feet Sept. 26, 1936 (gage height, 16.0 

feet, from highest floodmarks ever known), by slope-area method; no flow at times.

Remarks.- Records good except those for Nov. 1-30, which were Interpolated or computed 

from partial gage-height record and are fair, and those above 5,000 second-feet, 

which are poor. Discharge for Oct. 1 to Feb. 7 computed from graph drawn on basis 

of once-daily gage readings (to half tenths Nov. 1-30). Discharge Mar. 6-16 and Apr. 

20-22 computed on basis of partial gage-height record. Diversions by pumping above 

station affect low-water flaw (pump capacity, 40 second-feet). Low-water flow partly 

regulated by small reservoir above gage.

Discharge, In second-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

near cotulia, 4 miles upstream.

July 1915 to June 1918, at site

Average discharge.- 14 years (1923-37), 367 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 4,120 second-feet Oct. 1 (gage height, 13.73 

reetT; no flow at times.

1923-37: Maximum discharge, 82,600 second-feet Jyne 18, 1935 (gage height, 32.4 

feet, from floodmarks), by slope-area method; no flow at times.

Remarks.- Records fair. The flow at low water is regulated above station principally by 

diversion by pumping, most of it being so diverted, but partly, also, by storage in 

small reservoirs. Some of the flow of Nueces River and its tributaries enters the 

Balcones fault, which crosses the basin Just north of Uvalde in an east-west course. 

At low stages the greater part of the headwater flow enters this fault.

of records for stations near Isleta and at San Acacia.
RIO GRANDE BASIN 105

Rio Grande at San Acacia, N. Mex.

Location.- Water-stage recorders at right and left banks, lat. 34°15', long. 106°53', in 

NEi sec. 1, T. IS., R. 1 W., 0.2 mile below San Acacia Diversion Dam and one-half mile 

east of San Acacia. Zero of gage is 4,662.56 feet above mean sea level (general 

adjustment of 1929).

Records available.- April 1936 to September 1937 in reports of Geological Survey;

 February to December 1925 and January 1926 to September 1927 (gage heights and discharge measurements only) in reports of State engineer.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during period ending Sept. 30, 1936, about 27,400 second-

 feet Aug. 5 (gage height, 8.35 feet); minimum daily discharge, 10 second-feet July 30.

Maximum discharge during water year 1936-37, 18,600 second-feet May 28; maximum 

gage height, 5.60 feet June 27 (right-bank gage); minimum dally discharge, 15 secondfeet Aug. 12.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of missing or partial gage-height record, 

which are poor.

RIO GRANDE BASIN 107

Rio Grande at San Marcial, N. Hex.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 33°41', long. 106°58', in Pedio Armendaris Grant 

34, at Atchlson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bridge, 1.1 miles below San Marcial, 

Socorro County.

DralnaRe area.- 24,700 square miles (revised), excluding areas of closed basins.

Records available.- January 1895 to September 1937 in reports of Geological Survey;

January 1895 to December 1931 in reports of State engineer. Records prior to January 

1922, at site 0.3 mile upstream; those for January 1922 to February 1932, at site at 

highway bridge half a mile northeast of San Marcial and 1.8 miles above present site.

Average discharge.- 40 years (1897-1937), 1,557 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 30,000 second-feet May 29 (gage height, 9.32 

feet at gage on downstream side of railroad bridge); minimum daily discharge, 44 

second-feet Aug. 16.

1895-1937: Maximum discharge, about 50,000 second-feet Oct. 11, 1904 (figures 

supersedes that previously published as maximum); no flow at times.

Remarks.- Records good except those for Jan. 27-30, which were estimated and are fair. 

Diversions for irrigation above station. Records furnished by International Boundary 

Commission, U. S. Section (formerly known as U. S. Boundary Commission).

Data obtained by International Boundary Commission engineers provided the basis 

for estimates of the flow by passing the gaging station, which is made up of seepage 

from the river. The following table shows the seepage by months for the period June 

1936 to April 1937.

186 RIO GRANDE BASIN

Jacona ditch near Nambe, N. Hex.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and 2-foot Parshall flume, lat. 35°54', long. 106°02', 

in MWt sec. 7, T. 19 N., R. 9 E., 600 feet above Rio Tesuque crossing, half a mile 

below head, and 4- miles west of Nambe.

Records available.- April 1936 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 7.2 second-feet May 18; maximum gage height, 

u.97 foot Apr. 17; no flow at times.

1936-37: Maximum discharge, 7.3 second-feet Aug. 20, 1936; maximum gage height, 

1.02 feet July 15, 1936; no flow at times.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of Ice effect or missing gage heights, 

which are poor. Ditch diverts water from left bank of Nambe Creek for Irrigation.

RIO GRANDE BASIN 365 

Arenal main canal at Albuquerque, N. Hex.

Location.- Water-stage recorder la't. 35°05'30", long. 106 041'32", In NEiSEi sec. 14, 

T. 10 N., R. 2 E., 400 feet below Atrisco lateral diversion, about 1,000 feet below 

heading from Rio Grande, and three-quarters of a mile west of Albuquerque. Zero of 

gage is 4,947.95 feet above mean sea level (general adjustment of 1939).

Records available.- April 1936 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during period ending Sept. 30, 1936, 218 second-feet July 

9 (gage height, 5.82 feet); no flow at times.

Maximum discharge during water year 1936-37, 224 second-feet Aug. 12; maximum 

gage height, 6.05 feet June 17; no flow at times.

Remarks.- Recorc.s fair except those for April to July 1936 and those for periods of 

fragmentary gage-height record or periods when discharge was computed on basis of 

twice-daily readings of staff gage, all of which are poor. Canal diverts water from 

Rio Grande fcr irrigation. Flow controlled at head gates. Atrisco lateral and a 

pump ditch, which irrigate about 100 acres, divert from canal about 400 feet above 

station.

record, which are poor. Sais lateral diverts from canal, and San Juan acequla and 

Casa Colorado divert from Sais Lateral. The discharge of San Juan Canal at its head 

is the sum of its discharge at this station, the discharge for San Juan aeequia near 

Eosque, and the discharge for Casa Colorado acquequia near Bosque, to which should 

te added a small waste at the end of Sais lateral. Flow of canal controlled at head 

gate and at point of diversion of Sais lateral.

a mile below mouth of Delaware River, 2 miles north of Texas-New Mexico State line, 

8J miles northwest of Angeles, and 17.9 miles above Red Bluff Dam (completed In 1936). 

Zero of gage Is 2,831.2 feet above mean sea level.

Records avallable.- May 1914 to September 1937 (discontinued because of backwater from 

Red Blurr Dam; subsequent records for this station will be Dubllshed as Pecos River 

at Red Bluff, N. Mex., and Delaware River near Red Bluff, N. Mex.

Average discharge.- 22 years (1914-15, 1916-37), 373 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 38,900 second-feet June 1 (gage height 22.30 

reet;, from rating curve extended above 30,000 second feet; minimum, 50 second-feet 

Apr. 3 and 5.

1914-37: Maximum gage height, 22.5 feet (present datum) Aug. 8, 1916 (discharge 

not determined; channel capacity has been reduced since 1916 by heavy growth of 

salt cedars); minimum discharge, 23 second-feet Aug. 20, 1934. 

Maximum stage known occurred during flood in October 1904.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage heights, of backwater 

rrom Red Bluff Dam, and of fragmentary gage-height record, which are fair. Discharge 

for July 1 to Sept. 30 computed on basis of records for temporary stations on Pecos 

River at Red Bluff, N. Mex., and on Delaware River near Red Bluff, N. Mex. A large 

part of the natural flow above Carlsbad, N. Mex., Is diverted for Irrigation, and a 

considerable part of the diverted water is returned to river by seepage.

tThese figures represent crest discharges resulting from the peak flows of Hay 24, 

and June 14, at Plalnvlew and Indicate flattening and loss between Plalnvlew and this 

point, which Is also on the high plains. About 5 miles downstream from this point flow 

spills off plains Into canyon. Crest discharge of each of these rises at point of 

spill Is estimated to be not more than 20 percent of the discharge at Plalnvlew. This 

Is second year within about the last 40 years when any flow from White River has 

spilled off the high plains.
