AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting r^ults of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1931.

The data presented in these reports were collected by th?. United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat. L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the director] shall have the direction of th«. Geological Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the geological 

structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June TO, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the 

following items :

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water refources.

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated, either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting 

data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind r.re made 

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

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,270 

points in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and 

the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1931, 2,660 gaging stations w^re being 

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

other points. In connection with this work data were also collected in 

regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river profiles, and water power in many sections of the country and will be 

made available in water-supply papers from time to time.

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1931. PART 12 B 

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "rur-off " or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups (1) those that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

per square mile, and (2) those that represent the actual quantity of 

water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. The 

principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, secondfeet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. They may be 

defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." 

A second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel 

of rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"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 run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards time and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered 

if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on the 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, is the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation.

The following terms not in common use are here defined.

"Stage-discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control," a term used to designate the natural section or stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1, 1930, and ending September 30, 1931. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in 

the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or 

in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this 

stored water passes off in the streams during the spring break-up. 

At the end of September, on the other hand, the onJh7 stored water 

available for run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; 

therefore the run-off for the year beginning October ] is practically 

all derived from precipitation within that year.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 6

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 measurements in determining 

the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct 

readings on a staff or chain gage or from a water-stage recorder that 

gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of disFIGURE 1. Typical river-measurement station showing concrete well and house for water-stage recorder 

and staff gages, cable, and car

charge are made with a current meter by the general methods outlined 

in standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge. A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from 

the discharge measurements. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1931, PART 12 B

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 

this report comprise a description of the station, a table showing the 

daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly 

discharge and run-off.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and 

minimum recorded discharge, and the accuracy of the records. The 

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent the 

crest discharge unless a water-stage recorder was hi operation or a 

nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.

The table of daily discharge gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the daily gage height which may be a 

once daily reading or the mean of twice daily readings of a nonrecording gage, or the mean daily gage height obtained from a waterstage recorder graph.

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation 

the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily gage 

height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such 

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular intervals 

during the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for 

obtaining mean daily 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 "Maximum" 

gives the maximum daily 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 daily discharge. The 

column headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet per second 

during the month. On this average flow are based computations 

recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined on page 2.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 

permanence of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of 

observation 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 records are 

accurate within 5 per cent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," within 

15 per cent; and "poor," within 20 per cent or more.

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 run-off in inches may be subject to 

gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing districts
PUBLICATIONS 5

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.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of th*. flow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies 

of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, that 

the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated arer,s of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

streams, and the discharge recorded does not show the water supply 

available for further development, as prior appropriations Hlow the 

stations must first be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flew, but it 

has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and quality 

of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have Hen published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have appeared in 

the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published anually 

in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries coincide with 

natural-drainage features as indicated below:

Part 1. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John River to York River).

2. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River for 

Mississippi River).

3. Ohio River Basin.

4. St. Lawrence River Basin.

5. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

6. Missouri River Basin.

7. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

8. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

9. Colorado River Basin.

10. The Great Basin.

11. Pacific slope basins in California.

12. North Pacific slope drainage basins, in three parts:

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
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1931, PART 12 B

of each report in the same relative order as the regular gaging stations. 

An index of the reports containing records obtained pror to 1904 has 

been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 

1931. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found in 

the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by Part 3 are published in Water-SuppT y Papers 283, 

303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain records 

for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

height, 5.25 feet); minimum not recorded.

1912-1931: Maximum discharge, 47,300 second-feet June 22, 1H8 (gage 

height, 13.95 feet). Minimum discharge, about 5,000 second-feet Aug. 6, 

1917 (gage height, about 2.25 feet); stage probably fell equally low at 

times of minimum load at power plant above during subsequent extremely 

low water periods.

DIVERSIONS FROM FALL RIVER ABOVE GAGING STATION NEAR SQUIRREL, IDAHO

Above Squirrel gaging station three canals divert water from Fall River for 

irrigation. Records for a portion of each irrigation season from 1919 to 1931 are 

available. Records of discharge of each canal are computed from daily staffgage readings and combined to show total flow of the three canals. Records 

good. Diversions below normal during year ending Sept. 30, 1931, owing to 

water shortage.

DIVERSIONS FROM FALL RIVER BETWEEN SQUIRREL AND CHESTER GAGING STATIONS, IDAHO

Between Squirrel and Chester gaging stations nine canals divert water from 

Fall River for irrigation. Records for a portion of each irrigation ser.son from 

1919 to 1931 are available. Records of discharge of each canal are computed from 

daily staff-gage readings combined to show total flow of the nine canals. Records 

good. Diversions below normal during year ending Sept. 30, 1931, owing to 

water shortage.

from Teton River for irrigation. Records for a portion of each irrigation season 

from 1919 to 1931 are available. Records of discharge of each canal are computed 

from daily staff-gage readings and combined to show total flow of the 15 canals.
