SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS, 1944

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

.stage and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 

water year ending September 30, 1944. The work was begun In 1888 in connection with 

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

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 10,000 gaging stations 

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

5,340 gaging stations, Including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge mBasurements 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 natter 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 Is 1 square foot in cross-sectional area and 

whose average velocity is 1 fcot per second.

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

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

"Runoff In inches" Is the depth to which an area would be covered if all the water 

draining from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface. It is used * 

for' comparing runoff .with rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot" Is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and Is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term is comnonly"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 squivalent'to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-fset, 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, 1944, PART 1

"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 daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecording 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 those 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 daily mean discharge is computed by what Is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" method, described above.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater from 

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other.sources, which necessitates the use of the "slope 

method," In which the slope or fall In a reach of the stream Is a factor In the determination of discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall is obtained 

by means of an auxiliary / gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations 

the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage, and from them the rate of 

change of etage 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 measuTements, consideration being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. For those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, the days included in 

the periods of ice effect either are indicated in the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given in a general note following the table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of ice effect, 

shortly before the first period, or shortly after the last period are similarly indicated 

by a footnote.

For most of the gaging stations on streams In the area covered by this report the data 

presented comprise a description of the station, a 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'statlons except those at which the dally discharge for the 

greater part of the year was determined by the shifting-control method, the slope method, 

or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, Its latitude and longitude as 

determined from the best available maps, and Information In regard to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage or storage, and the 

accuracy of the records. Under "Average discharge" Is given the average discharge for the 

number of years Indicated. It Is given only for stations for which there are 10 or more 

complete years of record. Under "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage height; 

the minimum discharge If there Is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge If 

there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge If use.ful); and the minimum gage 

height (unless It Is of no Importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge 

corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage recorder or a nonrecordIng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum discharge represents the 

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 vtfilch the drainage area of 

the stream Is less than 10 or more than 10,000 square miles or at which, on most days, the 

peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent.

For stations equipped with water-stage recorders, except those on streams subject to 

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the table gives the discharge corresponding to the dally mean 

gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the dally mean gage height may not 

Indicate the true dally mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge 

for parts of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, an Instrument for obtaining the 

dally mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing as an essential 

element a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station. For stations 

equipped with nonrecordlng gages, the table of dally discharge gives the discharge In 

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 succeeding reports.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1944, 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 daily discharge prior to February 9, 1942, were 

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

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

»

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements 

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, meaeurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," 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 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 causee, or other factors. For such stations figures of "second-feet per 

square mile" and "runoff in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion records 

are included indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes in contents or reservoirs or for other changes incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for 

changes in reservoir contents, unless its Inclusion is indicated. Figuree of eecond-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 thoee 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 eatisfied.

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 8. The data for any particular gaging 

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, for the area covered by that report, a 

summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of 

record have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate reprints.

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 alphabetically, some by States and some by drainage basins.

 Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

Hote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dee. 6, 8,, Dee. 11 to Mar. 

 eoord May 28 to June 7; discharge computed on basis of records for stations on nearby streams. 

Time basis! Eastern war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Kenduskeag Stream near Kenduskeag, Maine

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 44°53'50", long. 68°53'05", 300 feet upstream from 

highway bridge, 1.8 miles downstream from Black Stream, and 2.9 miles south of Kenduskeag, Penobseot County.

Drainage area.- 178 square miles.

Records available.- October 1941 to September 1944. 

site 5.5 miles downstream.

September 1908 to September 1919 at

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,330 second-feet Oct. 18 (gage height, 9.74 

feet); minimum, 2.6 second-feet Sept. 12-13 (gage height, 1.24 feet).

1941-44: Maximum discharge, 3,420 second-feet Mar. 11, 1942; maximum gage height, 

12.56 feet Mar. 11, 1942 (ice Jan); minimum discharge, 2.6 second-feet Sept. 8, 9,

Stream and Black Stream which enters Kenduskeag Stream 1.8 miles above station. During 

high stages of Souadabseook Stream part of its flow passes through the cut into Kenduskeag Stream; at low stages of Souadabseook Stream, all flow continues down its own 

channel. On Apr. 15 the flow from Souadabseook Stream to Black Stream was 155 secondfeet.

Runoff In 

Inches

a No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of records, for station at Moosehead.

Mote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Dec. 10 to Mar. 5.

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

Kennebec River at Blngham, Maine

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 45°0o'05", long. 69°53'15", at Bingham, Somerset 

 uounty, 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.- 2,710 square miles.

Records available.- June 1907 to June 1910, October 1930 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 16 years (1907-9, 1930-44), 4,129 second-feet.

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 26,000 second-feet May 5 (gage 

neignt, ix.iib reet); minimum dally, 770 second-feet July 4.

1907-10, 1930-44: Maximum discharge, 55,200 second-feet Mar. 20, 1936 (gage 

height, 14.44 feet), from rating curve extended above 16,000 second-feet to peak flow 

of Wyman Dam plus Inflow; minimum daily, 570 second-feat 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, Moxie, and Spencer 

Lakes, First Roach, Second Roach, Dead River, and Wyman Ponds (see pp. 59, 43). 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation caused by power plant above station.

Merrimack River at Franklin Junction, N. H.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°25'25", long. 71°39'10", 350 feet upstream from 

abandoned railroad bridge at Franklin Junction, Merrimack County, and 1 mile downstream from confluence of Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee Rivers. Datum of gage is 

250.4 feet above mean sea level, unadjusted.

Drainage area.- 1,507 square miles.

Records available.- July 1903 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 39 years (1905-44), 2,752 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 17,000 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 9 (gage 

height, 13.34 feet); minimum daily, 670 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 19.

1903-44: Maximum discharge, 83,000 second-feet Mar. 19, 1936 (gage height, 36.4 

feet, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 30,000 second-feet on basis 

of velocity-area studies, slope-area determination, and computation of flow over darn; 

minimum daily, 290 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 24, 1939.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for December to March, which are good. Flow 

regulated by power plants and by Franklin Falls Reservoir (since March 1942), Squam,

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

Mote.- Ho gage-height record Dec. 21-29; discharge computed on basis of weather records, powerplant records, and records for other stations in Merrimack River Basin. Stage-discharge relation 

affected by ice Dec. 12-17, Dec. 30 to-Jan. 4, Jan. 7-17, Feb. 1-23, Mar. 1-5. Discharge in secondfeet per square mile and runoff in inches may not represent natural flow because at regulation.

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

Merrimack River at Manchester, N. H.

Location.- Lat. 43°00'10", long. 71°28'10", at Amoskeag Dam, at Ifenchester, Hlllsboro 

County, 2 miles upstream from Plscataquog River and 9i miles do-wnstream from Suncook 

River.

Drainage area.- 2,854 square miles.

Records available.- January 1924 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 20 years, 4,628 second-feet.

Remarks.- Discharge computed from flow over dam and through wheels and gates by Public 

Service Co. of New Hampshire (reduced to three significant figures by Geological 

Survey). Flow regulated by power plants and by Franklin Falls Reservoir (since March 

1942), Squam, Little Squam, Newfound, Wlnnlpesaukee (see p. 85 ), winnlsquam, Wentworth 

(see p. 80 ), Merrymeetlng, and other lakes, and by Bl.ackwater Reservoir.

Records available.- December 1929 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 15 years, 548 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge dur'-ig year, 2,950 second-feet (regulated) Apr. 25 (gage 

height, 7.73 feet); minimur 14 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 13 (gage height, 1.53 

feet); minimum daily, 16 36 end-feet (regulated) Aug. 13.

1929-44: Maximum disc a ge, 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 secondfeet (regulated) Oct. 26, 1935; minimum daily, 11 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 5, 12, 

1930.

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

City of Putnam diverts an average of less than 1 million gallons per day from Muddy 

Brook for municipal supply. Large diurnal fluctuation, particularly during low water, 

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.

Hqte.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 11 to Jan. 22, Jan.. 25, Jan. 30 to Har. 14 

(no gage-height record Dec. 19-30; discharge computed on basis of weather records, records of gate 

operation at Otls Reservoir, and records for Farmington River at Rlverton, Conn., and Heat Branch 

Westfleld River at Huntlngton, Mass.).

Time basis: Eastern war time. To convert war time td standard time, subtract 1 hour.
CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 211

Farmington River at Riverton, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41 057'15", long. 73°00'45", a quarter of a mile

downstream from Still River, 1 mile soutFi of Riverton, Litchfield County, and 4

miles northeast of Winsted. 

Drainage area.- 216 square miles.

Kecoras avaiiaDle.- September 1929 to September 1944. 

Average aiscnargeT- 15 years, 375 second-feet (adjusted for change in reservoir contents

since 1937;. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5.900 second-feet Nov. 9 (gage height, 7.31

reet; minimum, 22 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 10 (gage height, 0.61 foot): minimum

o>ily, 36 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 9.

1929-44: Maximum discharge, 37,100 second-feet Sept. 21. 1938 (gage height, 17.95

feet, from floodmark), from rating curve extended above 5,700 second-feet on basis

of velocity-area study and roughly checked by comparision with records for other

stations on Farmington River; minimum, 17 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 28, 1929.

Aug. 1, 1936; minimum daily, 23 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 1, 1936; minimum gage

height, 0.56 foot (regulated) Sept. 28, 1941. 

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

record, which are fair. Flow regulated by Otis Reservoir (see p. 156) and at low

flow by plants above station.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and sharp-edged square orifice and rectangular weir, lat. 

41"47'10", long. 72°57'55", li miles north of Burlington, Hartford County, 24 miles 

upstream from mouth, and 3 miles southwest of Collinsville.

Drainage area.- 4.1 square miles. " *

Records available.- September 1931 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 13 years, 7.59 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, S25 second-feet Sept. 15 (gage height, 4.34 

feet, backwater from debris on control); minimum, 0.24 second-foot (regulated) June 8 

(gage height, 0.17 foot); minimum daily, 0.84 second-foot July 26; minimum gage height, 

0.03 foot Oct. 11-13 (orifice plate removed).

1931-44: Maximum discharge, 645 second-feet Sept. 21, 1938 (gage height, 7.24 

. feet), from rating curve developed from theoretical formulae and checked by currentmeter measurements below 321 second-feet; minimum, 0.13 second-foot (regulated) Jure 21, 

1933; minimum daily, 0.64 second-foot Sept. 23, 24, 27-29, 1941; minimum gage height, 

0.03 foot Oct. 11-13, 1943 (orifice plate removed).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of backwater from debris in orifice 

and period Oct. 8-25 when orifice plate was removed, which are good, and those for 

periods of ice effect or no gage-height record, which are fair. Infrequent low-water 

regulation.

minimum, 6.5 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 22, 1941 (gage height, 0.64 foot); 

minimum daily, 7.0 second-feet (regulated) Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 26, 1941.

Flood of September 1938 reached a stage of about 7.3 feet, from floodmarks (discharge, 

3,800 second-feet, by slope-area method and computation of flow over dam).

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

 Which are fair. Flow regulated by Whigville Reservoir (see p. 156) and mills above 

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

Pequabuck River at Whigville Reservoir and Whites Bridge pumping plant. Effluent of 

sewage disposal plant' of city of Bristol is diverted into Quinnipiac River Basin.

CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN 217

North Branch Park River at Hartford, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder and masonry control, lat. 41°47'03", long. 72°42'31", 60 

feet downstream from stone-arch bridge on Albany Avenue, Hartford, Hartford County, 

and 3 miles upstream from confluence with South Branch. Datum of gage is 34.20 feet 

above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Department of Engineering, city of 

Hartford).

Drainage area.- 25.3 square miles.

Records available.- October 1936 to September 1944.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 520 second-feet Apr. 25 (gage height, 4.74 feet); 

maximum gage height, 6.93 feet Feb. 16 (ice jam); minimum discharge, 0.12 second-foot 

(regulated) Oct. 5-9, 12-14, Aug. 31, Sept. 1 (gage heights, 0.79 to 0.86 foot, varying 

backwater from leaves); minimum gage height, 0.79 foot (regulated) Oct. 5, Aug. 31, 

Sept. 1; minimum daily, 0.12 second-foot (regulated) Oct. 5-9, 12-14, Aug. 31, Sept. 1,

1936-44: Maximum discharge, 1,640 second-fe.et Jan. 25, 1938 (gage height, 11.6 

feet), from rating curve extended above 800 second-feet by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 0.04 second-foot (regulated) Sept. 24-25, 1943 (gage height, 0.75 foot); minimum 

daily, 0.04 second-foot (regulated) Sept. 24, 1943.

Flood of liar. 12, 1936, reached a stage of 11.2 feet as determined from floodraarks 

by city engineers of Hartford (discharge, probably 1,520 second-feet, from current 

rating curve after adjusting observed gage height to equivalent gage height for present 

conditions).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, missing or fragmentary 

gage-height record, or backwater'from debris on control, which are fair. Some regulation by mills upstream and by storage and diversion at Hartford water-supply reservoirs 

on snail headwater tributaries.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

a Ho gage-height record; discharge computed.on basis of weather records and records for East 

Branch Eightmile River near Horth Lyme.

Kote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by ice Dec. 13 to Feb. 2, Feb. 5-14, Feb. 27 to Mar. 6, 

Mar. 10, 11, 20, 21.

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

Menunketesuck River near Clinton, Conn.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°18'10", long. 72°31'00", 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.

jtecoras available.- June 1941 to September 1944.

i&tremes (unagjusTed for storage or diversion).- Maximum discharge during year, 337 

second-feet nar. 13 tgage neignt, 4.67 reet); no flow at times during August and 

September; minimum gage height, 0.48 foot Sept. 9-12.

1941-44: Maximum discharge, 560 second-feet Dec. 30, 1942 (gage height, 6.08 feet); 

no flow at times during August and September 1944; minimum gage height, that of Sept. 

9-12, 1944.

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

ana backwater from aquatic vegetation, which are good, and those below 2.5 second-feet 

when storage adjustments were made, which are fair. The daily-discharge record for all 

periods except those for 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 diversions from Kelseytown Reservoir are compensated for by release of water from 

Killingworth Reservoir which is located about 2.5 miles upstream from Kelseytown Reservoir on a small tributary of Menunketesuck 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. Therefore, the daily-discharge record 

for periods of low flow Oct. 1-19, June 9-11, 16-24, June 27 to Sept. 14, Sept. 29, 30, 

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

change in contents in Kelseytown Reservoir minus daily draft on Killingworth Reservoir. 

Draft on Killingworth Reservoir is determined at a staff-gage station just below spillway. No account is taken of evaporation from reservoirs.

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

water uo.

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.

Records ayaiiaole.- August 1928 to September 1944.

Average discharge.- 16 years, 2,456 second-feet (adjusted since 1936).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 11,800 second-feet (regulated; Apr. 25 (gage 

height, 10.43 feet); minimum, 38 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 5 (gage height, 0.41 

foot); minimum daily, 89 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 9.

1928-44: 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 hydro-

 electric 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.

* Winter discharge measurement made on this day.

Hote.- Stage-discharge relation affected by Ice Dec. 14 to Feb. 22, Mar. 2-6.

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

Shepaug River at woodville, Conn.

upstream

Location.- Nonrecording gages at dam at outlet of Shepaug Reservoir, lat. 41°43'i6' 

long. '/3°17'40", 1 mile north of woodville, Litchfield County, and 3 miles upst 

from Bantam River.

Drainage area.- 38.0 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1944.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 919 second-feet Nov. 9; no flow 

[regulated} Dec. 17 to Mar. 8.

1935-44: 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. 

DTscnarge computed on basis of flow over spillway, through floodgates, and through 

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

of a temporary sharp-crested 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. At 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.

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

Average aiscnargeT- 22 years,426 second-feet (adjusted for storage and diversion since 

lyis ) . 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 5,070 second-feet Sept. 15 (gage height, 5.90 

reetj; minimum, 58 second-feet (regulated) July 9, Aug. 28 (gage height, 0.25 foot); 

minimum dally, 64 second-feet Sept. 10.

1918-24. 1928-44: 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 dally, 40 second-feet Oct. 5, 12, 1930,

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

wnich 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 Champlain 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.

Drainage area.- 150 square miles.

Records available.- October 1927 to September 1944 in reports of Geological Survey.

December 1919 to September 1926 (prior to July 1921, gage heights only) in reports of 

State engineer and surveyor.

Average discharge.- 23 years (1921-44), 396 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes (regulated).- Maximum discharge during year, 2,130 second-feet Apr. 25 (gage 

height, 5.78 feet); minimum, 79 second-feet July 4 (gage height, 1.10 feet); minimum 

daily, 90 second-feet July 3.

1927-44: Maximum discharge, 4,060 second-feet July 9, 1935 (gage height, 8.1 feet, 

from floodmarks); minimum, 31 second-feet Oct. 23, 1940 (gage height, 0.66 foot); minimum daily, 45 second-feet (estimated) Jan. 17, 1931.

Reports of State engineer and surveyor record a maximum discharge of 4,210 secondfeet mr. 9, 1921.

Remarks.- Records excellent. During canal navigation season, water is diverted from Black 

River through Forestport feeder and Black River Canal (flowing south) into Delta Reservoir above station. Flow almost completely regulated by Delta Reservoir (capacity, 

2,800,000,000 cubic feet). Small quantity of water diverted from Delta Reservoir for 

fish hatchery use and later returned to river, part above and part below station.

Hote.- Elevation of water surface in Delta Reservoir, 543.95 .feet at midnight Sept. 30, 1943, and 

543.80 feet at midnight Sept. 30, 1944; 545.65 feet at midnight Dec. 31, 1942, and 536.70 feet at 

midnight Dec. 31, 1943.

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

Ifohawk River near Little Falls, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°00'50", long. 74°46'40", 1,800 feet downstream 

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

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

"level (Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 1,348 square miles.

Records available.- February to April 1901, October 1927 to September 1944. November 

1923 to September 1927 in files of State Department of Public Works.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1927-44), 2,720 second-feet.

Extremes'7- Maximum discharge during year (river channel only), 16,300 second-feet Apr. 10 

(gage height, 14.17 feet); minimum (river channel only), 426 second-feet (regulated) 

Dec. 6 (gage height, 4.27 feet); minimum daily (including canal), 708 second-feet 

(regulated) Sept. 12.

1927-44: Ifeximum discharge (river channel only), 23,200 second-feet Mar. 18, 1936 

(gage height, 17.24 feet), from rating curve extended above 13,600 second-feet by 

logarithmic plotting; minimum (river channel only), probably not less than 305 secondfeet 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 gageheight record, which are fair. Records of daily discharge include diversion at Rocky 

Rift Dam into Barge Canal for power and lockage 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 

Oriskany 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 1943 to September 1944

HUDSON RIVER BASIN 

Mohawk River at Cohoes, N. Y.

277

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

New York Power & Light Corp., in Cohoes, Albany County. 

Drainage area.- 3,456 square miles. 

Kecoras available.- July to October 1925 (computed from records at dam and School Street

piant or New York Power & Light Corp.) and October 1925 to September 1944. December

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

Average discharge.- 26 .years (ltJ18-44), 5,611 second-feet. > 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 46.000 second-feet Mar. 17 (gage height, 16.85

reet); minimum, 34 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 3 (gage height, 4.01 feet); minimum

daily, 220 second-feet Aug. 13.

1925-44: 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 or doubtful gage-height

 record, which are fair. Records include small diversion Just above gage for Cohoes water 

supply but do 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 Schoharie 

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

School Street power plant.

 Location.- Water-stage recorder and concrete control, lat. 43°13'2511 , long. 7S°I2'I5", 

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

of Holland Patent, Onelda County, and 6 miles downstream from Intake.

Records available.- June 1919 to September 1944 (navigation seasons only).

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

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

through Ninemile Creek. Discharges shown subsequent to discontinuance of diversion 

on Oct. 27 and prior to resumption of diversion on May 31 are made 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.

HUDSON RIVER BASIN

Rondout Creek at Rosendale, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°50'35", long. 74°05'10", 150 feet upstream from 

upper nighway bridge in Rosendale, Ulster County. Datum of gage is 48.81 feet above 

mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 386 square miles.

Records available.- July 1901 to November 1903, January 1906 to December 1913, and August 

1926 to September 1944 in reports of Geological Survey. January 1914 to January 1919 

in reports of State engineer and surveyor.

Average discharge.- 18 years (1926-44), 749 second-feet (adjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 10,800 second-feet Nov. 9 (gage height, 11.39 

reet); minimum, 7.8 second-feet (regulated) Oct. 10, 13 (gage height, 1.26 feet); 

minimum daily, 14 second-feet Aug. 21 (affected by diversion).

1901-3, 1906-19, 1926-44: Maximum discharge, 27,300 second-feet Aug. 87, 1928 

(gage height, 21.9 feet), from rating curve extended above 15,000 second-feet by 

logarithmic plotting; minimum, about 7 second-feet Aug. 9, 1929, Oct. 14, 1930, Sept. 9, 

14, 15, 17, 1932; minimum daily, that of Aug. 81, 1944.

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

wmcn are fair. Large diurnal fluctuations at low and medium flow caused by power 

plant above station. Diversion from Rondout Creek through the emergency connection to 

the Delaware Aqueduct at Lackawack for New York City water supply began In April 1944.

Cooperation.- Records of diversion furnished by New York City Board of Water Supply.

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 1944.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 78.0 second-feet Nov. 9 (gage height, 3.30 

feet); minimum, 0.007 second-foot Aug. 13 <gage height, 1.095 feet;.

1934-44: 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, that of Aug. 13, 1944; minimum gage height, 1.075 feet 

Aug. 3, 1936.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of no gage-height 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 rainfall, temperature, 

and ground-water levels are collected. Weekly records of ground-water elevations for 

1944 are published in Water-Supply Paper 1016.
