AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE 6"F WORK.

a

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the years ending September 30, 1919 "and 1920.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the 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 the 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 1886 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation in the arid west. Since the fiscal year ending 

June .30, 1895, successive sundry civil bills passed by Congress have 

carried the following item and appropriations:

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 resources.

Annual appropriations for the fiscal years ending June SO, 1895-1921.

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 

are made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on pages 5 and 6.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,000 

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

l

the Hawaiian Islands. In- July, 1920, 1,350 gaging stations were 

being maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organizations. 

Many miscellaneous discharge measurements are 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.

DEFINITION OF TERMS.

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-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, miners' 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, 

second-feet 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 in6hes" 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 depth of 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 section or sections of the 

stream below the gage which determine the stage-discharge relation 

at the gage. It should be noted that the control may not be the same 

section or sections at all stages.

The "point of zero flow" for a given gaging station is that point 

on the gage the gage height at which water ceases to flow over 

the control.

EXPLANATION OF DATA.

Tne data presented in this report cover the two-year period beginning October 1, 1918, and ending September 30, 1920. At the 

beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the 

precipitation in the preceding three months is stored as ground water 

in the form of snow or ice, or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, and this 

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

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

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

therefore the run-off for the year beginning October 1 is practically 

all derived from precipitation within that year.

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 

discharge are made with a current meter. (See Pis. I, II.) The 

general methods are outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage, and these rating tables, when applied 

to gage heights, give the discharge from which the daily, monthly, 

and yearly mean discharge is determined.

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

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

results of discharge measurements, a table showing the daily discharge "of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge 

and run-off.

If the base data are insufficient to determine the daily discharge, 

tables giving daily gage heights and results of discharge measurements are published.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and equipment, information in regard to any conditions that may affect the constancy of the stage-discharge relation, 

covering such subjects as the occurrence of ice, the use of the stream 

for log driving, shifting of control, and the cause and effect of backwater; it gives also information as to diversions that decrease the 

flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and minimum 

recorded stages, and the accuracy of the records.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated sections of the 

United States are located 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 below the
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

stations must first be satisfied. To give an idea of the amount of 

prior appropriations, a paragraph on diversions is presented in #ach 

station description. The figures given can not be considered exact 

but represent the best information available.

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

second-feet corresponding to the mean of the gage heights read each 

day. 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 operating on the principle of the planimeter and 

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

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gage height was 

highest. As the gage height is the mean for the day it does not 

indicate correctly the stage when the water surface was at crest 

height, and the corresponding discharge was consequently larger 

than given in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column 

headed "Minimum" the quantity given is the mean flow for the 

day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column headed 

"Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet for each second during the 

month. On this average flow computations recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined on page 2, are based.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS.

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

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

of observation of stage, measurements t)f flow, and interpretation 

of records.

A paragraph in the description of the station or footnotes added 

to the tables gives information regarding the (1) permanence of the 

stage-discharge relation, (2") precision with which the discharge rating 

curve is defined, (3) refinement of gage readings, (4) frequency of 

gage readings, and (5) methods of applying daily gage heights to 

the rating table to obtain the daily discharge. 1

For the rating tables^'well defined" indicates, in general, that the 

rating is probably accurate within 5 per cent; "fairly well defined," 

within 10 per cent; "poorly defined," within 15 to 25 per cent. 

These notes are very general and are based on the plotting of the 

individual measurements with reference to the mean rating curve.

1 For a more detailed discussion of the accuracy of stream-flow data see Grover, N. C., and Hoyt, J. C., 

Accuracy of stream-flow data: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 400, pp. 53-59,1916.
COOPERATION. 5

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 of run-off 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. 

All figures representing "second-feet per square mile" and "run-off 

in inches" previously published by the Survey should be used with 

caution because of possible inherent sources of error not known to 

the Survey.

The table of monthly discharge gives only a general idea of the 

flow at the station and should not be used for other than preliminary 

estimates; the tables of daily discharge allow 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.

GAGING-STATION RECORDS.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE SUPERIOR. 

BAD RIVER NEAR ODANAH, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 25, T. 47 N., R. 3 W., 8 miles upstream from Odanah, Ashland 

County, 12 miles above mouth. Potato River enters from right 8 miles above 

station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 607 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 31, 1914, to September 30, 1920.

OAGE. Stevens continuous water-stage recorder, installed March 31, 1915, over a 

wooden well, just above the first falls in the river above the mouth; a Gurley 

watej-stage recorder at the same site was jised July 31, 1914, to March 31, 1915.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE SUPERIOR.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable about 700 feet upstream from the 

gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed is sand and gravel. Rock outcrop at the beginning 

of rapids about 200 feet below the gage, forms a permanent control. During log 

driving periods logs may collect on the outcrop and cause backwater at the gage. 

Right bank high, not subject to overflow; left bank of medium height and may 

be overflowed during extremely high water.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1919, 5.01 feet at 2 p. m. April 10 (discharge, 6,680 second-feet); minimum 

discharge occurred during the winter and is not known»

Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920, 5.5 feet 

about March 24 (discharge, 8.230 second-feet); minimum stage, 0.87 foot about 

3 p. m. September 8 (discharge, 108 second-feet).

1914-1920: Maximum stage recorded, 6.66 feet at 1 a. m. April 22, 1916 (discharge, 12,200 second-feet); minimum open-water stage of 0.82 foot August 27, 

1918 (discharge, about 88 second-feet). The minimum discharge may have been 

slightly less than 88 second-feet during January and February, 1918.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. A number of small reservoirs are operated during the early spring and 

summer as an aid to log driving. During such periods the stage may fluctuate 

rapidly.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except when affected by ice. Rating 

curve well defined between 80 and 7,270 second-feet; above 7,270 second-feet extended-and may be subject to considerable error. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory except during*winter. Daily discharge" for the year ending 

September 30, 1919, obtained by discharge integrator except for periods indicated 

in fdotnote to daily-discharge table. Daily discharge for the year ending September 30, 1920, ascertained by applying to the rating table the mean daily gage 

height obtained by inspection of recorder graph or for days.of considerable fluctuation in stage by averaging the discharge for intervals of the day. Discharge for 

periods of ice effect, December 1, 1918, to March 14, 1919, and November 27, 

1919, to March 18, 1920, determined from discharge measurements and comparison with records of flow in adjacent drainage basins. Open-water records good. 

Records for winter roughly approximate.

10 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PAKT IV.

MONTREAL RIVER AT IRONWOOD, MICH.

LOCATION. At main highway bridge on State line between Hurley, Wis., and Ironwood, Mich., 8 miles upstream from junction with West Branch and 22 miles; 

above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE AREA. About 73 square miles (measured on Hixon's County Atlas; scale, 

1 inch=2 miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 24, 1918, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Chain gage fastened to downstream side of main highway bridge; read by 

W. A. Market.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from wooden bridge at lumber mill, one-fourth 

mile above gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed at and downstream from gage, heavy gravel, which 

should be fairly permanent. Concrete retaining walls on both sides of the river 

below the gage prevent overflow at flood stages.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1919, 3.15 feet at 8.30 a. m. April 12 (discharge, 610 second-feet); 

minimum stage recorded 0.70 foot 1.30 p. m. November 4 (discharge, about 2.8 

second-feet).

Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920, 3.8 feet 

June 30 (discharge, 910 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.84 foot September 13 (discharge, 4.7 second-feet).

REGULATION. Water stored in Pine Lake in sees. 28, 29, 32, and 33, T. 44 N., R. 

3 E., is used to increase the water supply for Iron wood and Hurley during periods 

of low flow; effect of this regulation on the flow at the station probably slight. 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation at the gage is caused by operation of gates in a 

small dam located one-fourth mile upstream. Dam is used to float logs to sawmill.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation fairly permanent except when affected by ice. 

Rating curve well denned from 4 to 610 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths 

once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying gage height to rating 

table, except for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice for 

which it was based on results of discharge measurements, observer's records, 

and climatological data. Records fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN. 

MENOMINEE RIVER AT TWIN FALLS, NEAR IRON MOUNTAIN, MICH.

LOCATION. In sec. 12, T. 40 N., R. 31 W.,at power plant of Peninsular Power Co., 

3J miles north of city of Iron Mountain, Mich.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,790 square miles (area in Wisconsin measured on State map 

issued by Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; 

scale, 1 inch=6 miles; area in Michigan measured on State map compiled by 

TJ. S. Geological Survey; scale, 1:500,000).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 1,1914, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Staff and float gages used to determine effective head on water wheels.

DISCHARGE. The discharge of the turbines in second-feet corresponding to the power 

in kilowatts is determined for each hour during the day from a record of the 

number of wheels in operation and the load, the sum of the discharge divided by 

24 gives the average discharge through the turbines. To this quantity is added 

the leakage through the idle wheels, the water passing over the spillway, through 

the gates, down the log sluice, and leakage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum mean dailjr discharge recorded during the 

year ending September 30, 1919, 7,080 second-feet, April 13; minimum mean 

daily discharge, 274 second-feet, August 10.

Maximum mean daily discharge recorded during the year ending September 

30, 1920, 7,920 second-feet March 28; minimum daily discharge, 640 second-feet, 

August 8.

1914-1920: Maximum mean daily discharge recorded 16,700 feet April 23 and 

24,1916; minimum mean daily discharge, 274 second-feet, August 10,1919.

REGULATION. During the summer of 1919 there was placed in operation another 

power plant operated by the same company and located about 5 miles upstream. 

Owing to variations in demand the daily discharge will bear no relation to the 

natural flow, the monthly mean discharge should, however, correspond closely 

to the natural flow.

ACCURACY. During May and September, 1919, a series of four current-meter measurements were made by the United States Geological Survey at a point about 1 mile 

downstream from the plant. The results of these measurements ranged from 7 to 

13 per cent larger than the discharge computed from the records of power output 

of the plant. The increase in the measured discharge may be due to more leak-
16 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

age at the plant than is accounted for, smaller efficiencies of the water wheels and 

generator equipment, and inflow between the power plant and the measuring 

section. On the basis of the current-meter measurements it was assumed that 

the discharge computed by the power company was about 10 per cent too small 

and the discharge published in the following tables was obtained by increasing 

the power-plant records 10 per cent.

COOPERATION. Records furnished by Mead & Seastone, consulting engineers, 

Madison, Wis. Computation of monthly discharge ma.de by engineers of the 

Geological Survey.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Menominee River at Twin Falls, near Iron Mountain, 

Mick., for the years ending Sept. 30, 1914-1920.

22 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1910-1920, PAET IV.

MENOMINEE RIVER BELOW KOSS. MICH.

LOCATION. In sec. 9, T. 34 N., R. 27 W., at the power plant of the Menominee & 

Marinette Light & Traction Co.,4 miles below Koss, Menominee County, Mich., 

and 3 miles west of Ingalls. Little Cedar River, draining an area entirely in 

Michigan, enters from left half a mile below station. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 3,790 square miles. 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 1, 1913, to September 30, 1920.

DISCHARGE. The flow is computed by the Menominee & Marinette Light & Traction 

Co. of Menominee, Mich., as follows: Each hour the load on the generators is noted 

and gage heights are read of the head and tailwater to determine the head on the 

spillway of the dam and the acting head on the turbines. The flow through the 

turbines for each hour is taken from a table giving the discharge corresponding to 

those loads and heads. The flow over the spillway is taken from a table computed 

from a weir formula. When water is wasted through the gates the magnitude and 

duration of the gate openings are noted and the quantity wasted determined from 

computed tables. The sum of the hourly quantities through the turbines and over 

the spillway, plus the quantity wasted through the gates, divided by the number 

of seconds in 24 hours, gives the average discharge in second-feet for the day. No 

account is taken of the water passing through the exciter turbine, nor waste over 

the "trash gate." at the powei; house. This amount is however relatively small. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending 

September 30, 1919, 14,100 second-feet, April 14; minimum mean daily discharge 

1,170 second-feet, September 21.

Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending September 30, 1920, 

21,800 second-feet, March 29; minimum mean daily discharge, 1,200 second-feet 

March 7.

1913-1920: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 23,200 second-feet, April 23 

and 25,1916; minimum daily discharge recorded, 1,000 second- feet, June 14,1914. 

REGULATION. Above the station are the following power plants, Sturgeon Falls, 

owned by Penn Iron Mining Co., 50 miles; Little Quinnesec, owned by Kimberly 

Clark Co., 62 miles; Upper Quinnesec, owned by Oliver Iron Mining Co., 62 

miles; Twin Falls, owned by Peninsular Power Co. With the exception of the 

Kimberly Clark dam at Little Quinnesec, the dams furnish power for utility uses 

so that the flow past the dams is comparatively uniform. The Kimberly Clark 

dam is used for paper mills and regulates the flow on Sundays and holidays. The 

effect of this regulation is felt at the stations generally on Tuesdays. The 

% monthly flow probably represents the natural flow.

ACCURACY. During the months of May and September, 1919, seven current-meter 

measurements were made at the highway bridge about 4 miles downstream from 

the plant. Complete records were collected relative to the kilowatt-hours generated, head on dam and flow through the gates. Based on the results of these 

measurements it was found that the discharge computed from records of operation 

of the power plant was about 12 per cent too small for discharge around 5,000 

second-feet and about 10 per cent too large for discharge around 1,700 second-feet. 

The errors in discharge computed from records of operation of the power plant 

has increased materially since 1914, when current-meter measurements of flow 

at Koss, Mich., showed close agreement with daily discharge computed from 

power-plant records. (See footnote to table of discharge measurements of Menominee River at Koss, Mich., Water-Supply Paper 384, p. 29.) Certain revisions 

in the tables used by the power company were put into effect November 1, 1919, 

and it is believed that records after that date represent more closely the actual flow. 

COOPERATION. Daily discharge records furnished monthly by Edward Daniell, 

general manager of the Menominee & Marinette Light & Traction Co. The 

monthly computations have been made by the United States Geological Survey.

REGULATION. River not used for log driving during 1919 and 1920. Gates of a dam 

below remained open throughout the period.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed during winter of 1919; rating curve 

used October 1,1918, to March 29,1919, fairly well defined between 292 and 1,840 

second-feet; extension of curve below 292 and above 1,840 second-feet may be 

subject to considerable error. Curve used March 30,1919, to September 30,1920, 

fairly well defined throughout. Gage read ,once daily to half-tenths. Daily 

discharge ascertained by applying daily gage height to rating table, except for 

period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was obtained 

from results of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. 

Open-water records fair; winter records subject to error.

Discharge measurements of Pine River near Florence, Wis., during the years ending

Sept. 30, 1919 and 1920.

a Measurement made from complete ice cover. Because of frazil ice at bridge section, discharge at gage 

 was obtained by measuring flow of Pine River (128 seeond-feet) above mouth of Popple River and flow 

of Popple (127 seeond-feet) above mouth, and adding the results of the two measurements.

6 Discharge determined as in previous measurement; Pine River above Popple, 100 second-feet; Popple 

above mouth, 98 second-feet. v

c Complete ice cover at control and measuring section.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Pine River near Florence, Wis., for the years ending 

Sept. 80, 1919 and 1920.

PESHTIGO RIVER AT HIGH FALLS, NEAR CRIVITZ, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 32 N., R. 18 E.,ut High Falls, near Crivitz, Marinette County, 

a quarter of a mile downstream from power house of Wisconsin Public Service Co., 

1 mile upstream from Thunder River (coming in from right), and 15 miles by 

road northwest of Crivitz.
32 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY^ 1919-1020, PART IV.

DRAINAGE AREA. 520 square miles (measured on Wisconsin Geological and Natural 

History Survey map, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch == 6 miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 1, 1912, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Gurley graph water-stage recorder, set over a wooden well about 15 feet from 

the left bank and a quarter of a mile downstream from power house; replaced a 

Barrett & Lawrence water-stage recorder about May 1, 1918; well is protected 

from floating logs by a large boulder.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable, half a mile below the gage. About 

2 second-feet of seepage water enters the river below the gage but above the cable 

and is included in the discharge as published.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Banks at control and measuring section are high and not 

subject to overflow. Control at low stages is a small gravel riffle about 50 feet 

downstream from the gage; at medium and high stages this control is apparently 

drowned out and is probably formed by some section farther downstream.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending 

September 30, 1919, 2,290 second-feet, April 12; minimum mean daily discharge 55 second-feet January 19 and March 2.

Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending September 30, 1920, 

1,830 second-feet, April 3; minimum stage recorded 0.97 foot from midnight to 

7 a. m. October 27 (discharge, 43 second-feet).

1912-1920: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder 7.2 feet May 13, 1916 

(discharge, 3,480 second-feet); minimum stage 0.97 foot from midnight to 7 a. m., 

October 27, 1919 (discharge, 43 second-feet). Owing to artificial regulation extremes given do not represent the natural flow.

ICE. Because of the relatively warm water in the larger service reservoir ice does not 

form on the river in the vicinity of the gage; open-water rating curve used throughout year.

REGULATION . Flow controlled by operation of the power plant. Considerable diurnal. 

fluctuation caused by the operation of the power plant and during log-driving 

season by the manipulation of the gates. The mean monthly flow does not represent the natural flow because of storage in the service reservoir. 

^ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent; not affected by ice. Rating curve 

well defined between 145 and 3,980 second-feet. Water-stage recorder operated 

satisfactorily about 80 per cent of time. Daily discharge during periods when 

recording gage was in operation ascertained by use of the discharge integrator. 

Discharge for periods when gage was not in operation based on power plant records; the power plant records for 1919 were increased by 5 per cent and for 1920 

they were used without change, the corrections being derived by comparing 

the results obtained from the water-stage recorder with those obtained from records of operation of the power plant. Records fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN. 35

OCONTO RIVER NEAR GILLETT, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 34, T. 28 N.j R. 18 E., at highway bridge 2£ miles southeast of 

Gillett, Oconto County, and 27 miles above mouth of river.

DBAINAGB ABBA. 678 square miles (measured on Wisconsin Geological and Natural 

History Survey map, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 7,1906, to March 30,1909; January 6,1914, to September 

30,1920.

GAGE. Chain gage attached to iron railing on upstream side of bridge; read by Harvie 

Gilbertson. Zero of gage used January 6,1914, to date is 4 feet above that of gage 

used June 7,1906, to March 31, 1909.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from upstream side of bridge.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel; fairly permanent. Left bank of medium height 

and not subject to overflow. During extremely high stages water may overflow 

around right end of bridge.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30,1919,4.25 feet at 1.30 p. m. April 10 and 5.30 p. m. April 12 (discharge, 

2,350 second-feet); minimum discharge, estimated, 305 second-feet February 

7-9.

Maximum discharge recorded during the year ending September 30,1920, 3,220 

second-feet March 28; minimum stage recorded 1.00 foot at 3 p. m. September 9 

(discharge, 305 second-feet).

1906-1920: Maximum stage recorded 5.3 feet at 3.30 p. m. April 25,1916, and 

at 10 a. m. March 28, 1920 (discharge, 3,220 second-feet); minimum open-water 

discharge 95 second-feet January 3 and 6,1907.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

REGULATION. A dam above the station stores water to float logs during the spring; 

except when this dam is in operation flow at the gage is natural.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected by 

ice and occasionally by log jams. Rating curve well defined, between 239 and 

1,790 second-feet. Gage read once daily to quarter-tenths. Daily discharge obtained by applying daily gage height to rating table, except for period when 

stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was obtained by applying 

to rating table mean daily gage height corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. Open-water records 

good except for periods when logs were in river, for which they are fair; records 

for winter fair. 9

38 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1020, PART iv.

FOX RIVER AT BERLIN, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 16, T. 17 N., R. 13 E., at Government lock and dam 2J miles

upstream from Berlin, Green Lake County. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,430 square miles (measured on map issued by the Wisconsin

Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. 1898 to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE. Staff gage located in pool immediately below the dam. Read by lock tender

for United States Army Engineers office. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sand and gravel, one channel at all stages; both banks low

and subject to overflow. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of Huron Street highway

bridge in city of Berlin about 2£ miles downstream from gage. Rating curves at

gage corrected for any small inflow between the gage and measuring section. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge recorded during year

ending September 30, 1919, 2,670 second-feet, March 20 and 21; minimum mean'

daily discharge, 560 second-feet, September 8. 

Maximum mean daily discharge recorded during year ending September 30,

1920, 5,150 second-feet, March 29; minimum discharge, 550 second-feet, January

5-9. 

1898-1920: Maximum mean daily discharge, 6,400 second-feet, March 28 and 30>

1916; minimum mean daily discharge, 250 second-feet, February 1-4, 1900. 

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except for effect of ice.

Rating curve well denned between 800 and 6,000 second-feet. Gage read three

times daily; in general, however, noon reading alone is used in determination of

daily discharge. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height

to rating table, corrected for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by

ice by means of curves based on discharge measurements and observer's notes.

Open-water records fair, winter records roughly approximate. 

COOPERATION. Records have been collected and computations of daily discharge

made by United States Engineers office. Open-water records, obtained from

rating curves based on discharge measurements made by United States Geological

Survey.

FOX RIVER AT RAPIDE CROCHE DAM, NEAR WRIGHTSTOWN, WIS.

LOCATION. At Rapide Croche dam, in sec. 4, T. 21 N., R. 19 E., Outagamie County, 

2 miles from Wrightstown, Brown County, 19 miles downstream from Lake Winnebago and 20 miles upstream from mouth of river at Green Bay.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Marcn 3,1896, to September 30,1920. Daily-discharge records 

for this station, 1896-1914, published by the Wisconsin Railroad Commission in 

"Water-power report to the Legislature, 1915," have since been found to be considerably in error and should not be used. See "Determination of discharge."

DRAINAGE AREA. 6,150 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin Geologi - 

cal and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

DETERMINATION OP DISCHARGE. The dam, owned and operated by the United States 

Army engineers to aid navigation, is made of timber and is equipped with 4 

needle sluice gates which are used only in times of high water. A vertical staff 

gage at the lower end of the canal leading to the lock and about a quarter of a mile 

below the dam is read five times daily at 7 a. m., 9 a. m., 12 noon, 3 p. m., and 6 

p. m. The mean flow for the day is computed from a formula using the five gage 

heights for the day, assuming gradual changes in gage height between the readings, 

and weighting the different gage heights by elapsed time. See Water-Supply 

Paper 454 for determination of error which existed in the records published in the 

report of the Wisconsin Railroad Commission.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending 

September 30, 1919, 13,100 second-feet, April 18; minimum mean daily discharge 

1,250 seccfnd-feet, October 20.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN. 57

Maximum mean daily discharge during the year ending September 30, 1920, 

16,600 second-feet, April 10; minimum mean daily discharge, 1,320 second-feet, 

September 6.

1918-1920: Maximum mean daily discharge, 16,600 second-feet, April 10,1920; 

minimum mean daily discharge, 1,250 second-feet, October 20, 1918. Information 

relative to daily maximum and minimum 1896-1917 may be obtained from the 

TJ. S. Army Engineers office, Milwaukee, Wis.

REGULATION. The flow past the station is controlled by regulation in Lake Winnebago which has an area of 215 square miles and to some extent by dams between 

the outlet of Lake Winnebago and the station, the dams being operated for power 

purposes and in the interests of navigation. Throughout the period covered by 

the records the same storage conditions have existed.

ACCURACY. The accuracy of the method used to determine the records of daily flow 

was checked by a current-meter measurement made by W. G. Hoyt July 30, 1919, 

and based on the results of the measurement the records are believed good for the 

period.

COOPERATION. The records were collected and computations of daily discharge made 

by the U. S. Army engineers based on curves which were developed by currentmeter measurements made by engineers of the United States Geological Survey.

The following discharge measurement was made by W. G. Hoyt: 

July 30,1919: Upper gage, 9.10 feet (lower gage, 7.80 feet); discharge, 3,830 secondfeet.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Fox River at Rapide Croche dam, near Wrightstoum, 

Wis., for the years ending Sept. SO, 1919 and 1920.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed during spring and summer of 1919; 

practically permanent after July 10, 1919. Rating curve well defined between 

380 and 1,920 second-feet; above and below these limits curve is extended, and 

subject to error. Gage read to quarter-tenths twice daily. Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to rating table, except for period 

when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was ascertained 

by applying to rating table mean daily gage height corrected for ice effect by 

means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records; shiftingcontrol method used March 27 to July 10, 1919. Open-water records October 1, 

1918, to July 31,1919, fair; August 1,1919, to September 30,1920, good. Winter 

records roughly approximate.

WOLF BIVHK AT NEW LONDON, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 12, T. 22 N., E. 14 E., at Pearl Street highway bridge, NewLondon, Waupaca County. Embarrass River enters from right three-fourths of 

a mile above station, and Little Wolf River, also from right, 5 miles below.

DRAINAGE AREA. 2,240 square milea (measured on map issued by Wiaconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 milea).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 1, 1913, to September 30, 1920. Unpublished gageheights, March 1, 1899, to September 30, 1912, are in the unpublished records of 

the office of the United States Army Engineers, Milwaukee, Wis.

GAGE. Enameled steel gage, graduated from 1.0 to 13.0 feet, fastened to right-hand 

downstream pier of Pearl Street bridge. Datum of the gage raised 0.641 foot on 

March 1, 1911, according to the United States Army Engineers; zero of gage is 

at an elevation of 748.874 feet above mean sea level, New York City datum.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from Shawano Street bridge four blocks below 

; gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sand, hardpan, and mud; not permanent; control not 

well denned. Both banks at the gage fairly high. During flood stages the water 

from Embarrass River flows across the city of New London into the channel of the 

Wolf River below the gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30,1919,8.7 feet April 14 and 15 (discharge, 6,350 second-feet); minimum 

discharge somewhat less than 980 second-feet in February.

Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920, 10.3 feet 

March 28 and 29 (discharge, 10,800 second-feet); minimum.discharge, estimated 

because of ice, 780 second-feet January 29 to February 6.

;.'.; 1914-1920: Maximum stage recorded 10.3 feet March 28 and 29,1920 (discharge, 

10,800; second-feet); minimum discharge about 700 second-feet, February 6-9,

: 1918. The United States Army Engineer office reports a stage of 11.6 feet on 

April 16,1888.

IcE.-v-Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. Little if any diurfial fluctuation owing to operation of power plants 

above the station, has been observed at the gage; monthly flow natural.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation not permanent. Rating curves applicable 

during open-water periods October 1, 1918, to November 30, 1918, and March 18, 

1919, to September 30, 1920, fairly well defined. Gage read once daily to tenths. 

Daily discharge ascertained by applying daily gage height to rating table, except 

for periods when.stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was 

obtained by applying to rating table daily gage height corrected for ice effect by 

means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. Openwater records fair; winter records roughly approximate.

LITTLE WOLF RIVER AT ROYALTOH, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 1, T. 22 N., R. 13 E. at highway bridge at Royalton, Waupaca 

County, 4 miles above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE ABBA. 485 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin Geological 

and Natural History Survey, edition 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. January 13,1914, to September 30, 192Q.

GAGE. Sloping gage on left bank 150 feet upstream from highway bridge; read by

J. C. Jensen. Prior to August 20, 1915, a chain gage fastened to upstream side of

highway bridge was used. Datum of the sloping gage is 0.75 foot higher than

that of the chain gage; owing to change in slope, however, difference between*

. the readings on the slope gage and chain gage is not constant.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable, about 500 feet upstream from chain 

gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed at gage section consists of heavy gravel and rock; 

fairly permanent; at the measuring section bed is fine, smooth gravel. Neither 

bank is overflowed to any extent at flood stages.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1919, 5.8 feet at 5.30 p. m. March 16 (discharge, estimated because of 

ice, about 3,000 second-feet); minimum discharge, about 150 second-feet February 5.

Maximum discharge recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920, 

3,950 second feet, at 1.30 p. m. March 26; minimum stage recorded 1.27 feet at 

8 a. m. and 6 p. m. July 31 (discharge, 198 second-feet).

1914-1920: Maximum stage recorded 7.5 feet at 7.15 p. m. June 7, 1914 (discharge, 5,350 second-feet); minimum discharge approximately 130 second-feet, 

March 5 and 6, 1916, and January 23, 1917.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. The few power plants above the station have little storage; and no 

diurnal fluctuation has been observed at the gage.
68 SURFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PAKT IV.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation fairly permanent throughout the period. 

Rating curve well defined below 3,200 second-feet. Gage read twice daily to 

quarter-tenths. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height 

to rating table, except for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by 

ice, for which it was obtained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height 

corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, 

and weather records. During winter, chain gage is read; no definite relation 

' between the readings on the two gages. Open-water records good. Winter records fair.

WATTPACA RIVER NEAR WATTPACA, WIS.

LOCATION. Near north line of sec. 1, T. 21 N., R. 12 E., at Waupaca County highway 

bridge, 4 miles downstream from Waupaca, Wis. (Section and township given in 

Water-Supply Paper 474 are in error.)

DRAINAGE AREA. 305 square miles (measured on Wisconsin Geological and Natural 

History Survey map, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October 18, 1917, to September 30, 1920; June 28, 1916, 'to 

October 18, 1917, records were obtained at a station near Weyauwega, about a 

mile downstream from present site.

GAGE. Chain gage, bolted to upstream handrail of bridge; read by Harry Radtke.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from upstream side of bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed consists of fine gravel and clay, clean and free from 

vegetation. Control not well defined and is not permanent. Right bank is high 

and is seldom overflowed; left bank of medium height and is overflowed at a stage 

of about 6 feet.

ICE. Stage"-discharge relation seriously affected by ice.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1919, 5.6 feet March 17 (discharge, 2,600 second-feet); minimum discharge estimated because of ice, 135 second-feet February 4 and 5.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO IAKE MICHIGAN.

Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920, 3.65 feet 

March 26 (discharge, 1020 second-feet); minimum stage recorded 1.28 feet November 21 (discharge, 96 second-feet), probably due to regulation.

1916-1920: Maximum stage recorded, that of March 17, 1919; minimum stage, 

that of November 21, 1919.

REGULATION. Power plants at Waupaca and above on the main stream and also several on Crystal River may cause slight fluctuation during low stages. The pondage at the various plants is small and mean monthly discharge is believed to represent nearly the natural flow.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation not permanent, rating curve used October 19, 

1917, to Sept. 30, 1918, fairly well defined between 180 and 330 second-feet. 

Shifting-control method used October 1, 1918, to November 25, 1919. A shift 

occurred during 1920 and a curve parallel with the curve for 1919 was used from 

the beginning of the open-water period March 23, 1920, to September 30, 1920.

 For the periods during which the stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, 

discharge was determined by applying to rating curve the daily gage height 

corrected for ice effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, 

and climatic data. Open-water records fair; winter records subject to considerable error.

SHEBOYGAN RIVER NEAR SHEBOYGAN, WIS.

LOCATION. In sec. 28, T. 15 N., R. 23 E., 2 miles west of Sheboygan, Sheboygan

County, and 2J miles above mouth. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 103 square miles (measured on Wisconsin Geological and Natural

History Survey map, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 30, 1916, to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE. Chain gage fastened to upstream side of bridge; read by Hattie Opgenorth. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. From highway bridge or by wading; at extreme flood

stages, measurement may be made from Chicago & North Western Railway bridge,

one-third mile downstream. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Control is a well-defined riffle about 200 feet below bridge.

Stream bed composed of heavy gravel, clear and free from aquatic grass. Banks

are of medium height and are seldom overflowed.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30,1919, 6.90 feet at 2 p. m. March 16 (discharge, 3,420 second-feet); minimum

discharge, somewhat less than 17 second-feet, the last part of November. 

Maximum stage recorded during the year ending September 30, 1920,9.40 feet

at 7 a. m. March 26 (discharge, 7,140 second-feet); .minimum stage, 1.68 feet at

8.30 a. m. August 3 (discharge, about 7 second-feet).

1916-1920: Extremes for 1920 represent extremes for period. 

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice. 

REGULATION. At low stages there is a small amount of diurnal fluctuation due tooperation of small power plants above.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE MICHIGAN. 75

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation fairly permanent. Eating curve used for 

1918-1920 fairly well defined below 2,920 eecond-feet, extended and roughly 

approximate above 2,920 second-feet. Gage read twice daily to hundredths; 

slight diurnal fluctuation may somewhat impair the accuracy of the daily mean 

gage height. Daily discharge obtained by applying daily gage height to rating table 

except for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it 

was based on results of discharge measurements, observer's records, and climatological records. Open-water records fair; those for periods of ice effect 

roughly approximate.

MILWAUKEE RIVER NEAR MILWAUKEE, WIS.

LOCATION. In NW. f sec. 5, T. 7 N., R. 22 E., immediately above an old quarry 

near north limits of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, half a mile below concrete 

highway bridge, 1 mile above Mineral Spring Road, and 5$ miles above confluence of Milwaukee and Menominee rivers.

DRAINAGE AREA. 661 square miles (measured on map issued by Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, edition of 1911; scale, 1 inch=6 miles).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 30, 1914, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Slope gage set in concrete foundations on the left bank of the river; prior to 

April 18, 1918, chain gage fastened to cantilever arms supported by posts. Both 

gages at same datum. Gage read by Miss Bertha Kuehl.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of channel at gage heavy gravel. 'About 200 feet 

below the gage is a rock outcrop with a 4-foot fall which forms the control, and 

is fairly permanent, changing only during exceptionally heavy floods. Below 

the control the river flows in an artificial channel which at one time was a quarry.

96507 23 WSP 504 6 /
78 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART TV.

Left bank above and below the control high and not subject to overflow; right 

bank above control of medium height; below the control the right bank is -artificial and of such height that it is seldom overflowed.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading immediajtely above the gage section; 

at medium and high stages from a concrete highway bridge about 1 mile upstream 

from the gage.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

30,1919, 5.5 feet March 17 and 18 (discharge, 5,160 second*feet); minimum stage 

recorded 0.38 foot September 7 (discharge, about 34 second-leet).

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 6.3 feet at 

8 a. m. June 17, 1920 (discharge, 6,470 second-feet); minimum stage recorded 

1.20 feet, December 18,1919 (discharge, 60 second-feet).

1914-1920: Maximum stage recorded 9.00 feet March 20,1918 (discharge, about 

12,100 second-feet); immnniim stage recorded 0.50 foot at 8.30 p. m., August 2, 

1916 (discharge, about 26 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. No diurnal fluctuation at the gage resulting from operation of small 

plants above.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except when affected by 

ice. Rating curve well defined between 200 and 3,710 second-feet; below 200 

second-feet the curve was revised slightly, twice during 1919, each revision defining the stage-discharge relation somewhat more accurately as indicated by additional discharge measurements. Gage read twice daily to quarter-tenths. Daily 

discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to rating table, except 

for period when stage-discharge relation was affected by ice, for which it was 

obtained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height corrected for ice 

effect by means of discharge measurements, observer's notes, and weather records. 

Open-water records good, except forllxtreme high and low stages, for which they 

are only fair. Winter records roughly approximate.

800 feet north of railroad station at One hundred and Forty-seventh Street, Harvey,

Cook County, 11 miles above mouth of river. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 570 square miles (measured on map issued by United States

Geological Survey"; scale, 1:^00,000). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily discharge, October 1, 1916, to September 30, 1920; also

daily gage heights, collected by Sanitary District of Chicago, June 10, 1907^ to

September 30, 1916.

GAGE. Vertical staff gage attached to bridge pier; read by Mrs. H. Wurtman. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of bridge during medium

and high stages and by wading during low stages. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Bed of river composed of clay and gravel. Low-water

control is at "The Rocks," about 1 mile below gage; bed of river, heavy gravel;

somewhat shifting. Banks not subject to overflow.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

, 30, 1919, 10.28 feet at 9 a. m. March 18 (discharge, 3,750 second-feet); minimum

stage recorded, 2.88 feet September 3, 4, 8, and 9 (discharge, 49-second-feet). 

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 7.85 feet at

8 a. m. March 26 (discharge, 2,080 second-feet); minimum stage, 2.97 feet August

28 (discharge, 58 second-feet). 

1907-1920: Maximum stage* recorded, 13.4 feet March 6, 1908 (discharge not

determined); minimum discharge since October 1, 1916, probably somewhat less

than 25 second-feet occurred in January, 1918. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed during high water of March, 1919;

affected by ice for short periods during the winter of 1918-19 and seriously affected

by ice during 1919-20. Rating curves well defined above, fairly well defined

below, 60 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths once* daily. Daily discharge

ascertained by applying daily gage height to rating table. Records good for

open-water periods; roughly approximate for periods of ice effect.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ERIE.

\ 

HURON RIVER AT BARTON, HIGH.

LOCATION. At dam and power plant of Eastern Michigan Edison Co. at Barton, 

near Ann Arbor, 4 miles above station at Geddes.

DRAINAGE AREA. 723 square miles.

RECORD AVAILABLE. January 1, 1914, to September 30, 1920.

DETERMINATION OP DISCHARGE. Flow computed from records of operation of power 

plant, the flow through under-sluices during floods, and the depth of flow over 

dam. The flow through the power house is determined from a calibration of the 

turbines by means of a specially constructed weir, the crest of which was formed 

by a J-inch by 5-inch milled plate, the discharge over the weir being computed 

by Bazin's formula for free overflow. The greater part of the flood water passes 

through under-sluices in the power-house foundations, and this flow is determined 

from a weir calibration of the sluices. Water flows over crest of dam only a few 

days during the year.

COOPERATION. Daily-discharge record furnished by G. S. Williams, consulting 

engineer, Ann Arbor, Mich.
86 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

Daily discharge, in second-feet,, of Huron River at Barton, Mich., for the yean

HURON RIVER AT FLAT ROCK, HIGH.

LOCATION. At highway bridge at Flat Rock, 2,000 feet below crossing of Detroit,

Toledo & Ironton Railway. 

DRAINAGE ABBA. 1,000 square miles.

RECORDS, AVAILABLE. August 6, 1904, to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE. Staff; read once daily to tenths, occasionally to half-tenths, by John Vincent. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from downstream side of bridge. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Probably permanent. 

EXTREMES OF STAGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30,

1919, 8.20 feet, May 6; minimum stage, 1.00 foot October 2, July 22 and September 9. 

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 9.80 feet,

March 14; minimum stage, 1.10 feet June 8, July 13, August 3, and September 21. 

ICE. Ice jams form below the station and cause backwater at the gage; in general

the section above the station is kept open by the operation of the power plant. 

REGULATION. At ordinary stages flow of the river is controlled by a dam and power

plant immediately above station, but operation of this plant is considered to

cause but little diurnal fluctuation of stage.

This station has not been visited by Geological Survey engineers since September 

25, 1912.

LOCATION. At stone-arch highway bridge in Linden, Genesee County, 3 miles 

above junction with Tonawanda Creek.

DRAINAGE AREA. 22.0 square miles (measured OH topographic maps).

KECORDS AVAILABLE. July 8, 1912, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Vertical staff on upstream side of right abutment; lower 2 feet of enameled 

iron, graduated to hundredths of a foot; upper 4 feet of bronze graduated to 

half-tenths; read by Thomas W. Mills and C. L. Schenck.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable or by wading near gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. The weir formerly in use was entirely destroyed by ice, 

February 20, 1918; it was replaced September 18, 1920. The section of the 

channel which formed the control since the destruction of the weir is of coarse 

gravel and boulders and is probably permanent between dates of shift.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year eading September 

30, 1919, 9.0 feet at 6 p. m. May 10 (discharge, 2,500 seCond-feet); minimum 

stage recorded 0.41 foot several times in August and September (discharge, 

1.5 second-feet).

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 3.14 feet 

at 6 p. m. March 16 (discharge, about 535 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 

-0.48 foot July 16 and 17 (discharge, 1.0 second-foot).

" 1912-1920: Maximum stage recorded, 9.0 feet at 6 p. m. May 10,1919 (discharge, 

2,500 second-feet); minimum discharge, 0.42 second-foot August 20, 21, September 14-16, and October 8% 1913.

ACCUKACY. Stage-discharge relation changed during the high water of May, 1919, 

and again during March, 1920. Rating curves used before and after the change, 

fairly -well defined below 150 second-feet. Curve used after installation of weir 

well defined below 40 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily 

discharge not published. Records of monthly discharge, fair.

BARGE CANAL AT LOCK 30, MACEDON, N. Y.

LOCATION. At by-pass around Lock 30 of Barge Canal, in Macedon, Wayne County. 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. November 1,1919, to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE .- Vertical staff bolted to retaining wall on right bank of by-pass channel about 

50 feet above dam; read by H. G. O'Dea, locktender at Lock 30.
STEEAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO. 93

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading.

CONTROL. Control is crest of dam 50 feet below gage.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation probably permanent, except for possible backwater effect from weeds during summer. Bating curve fairly well defined. 

Gage-height record approximate only. Daily discharge through by-pass determined by applying mean daily gage height to rating table. Total discharge of 

canal, as shown in the following tables, determined by adding the discharge 

through the by-pass to the discharge through the lock, computed from the number 

of lockages per day, leakage through lock not included.

: TAGE. ^Gurley 7-day graph water-stage recorder on left bank of by-pass, 15 feet up- 

';', : stream from concrete spillway dam south of the lock house. Recorder inspected 

. s- by M. H. Quigley, lock tender at lock 32.

'-l)iscHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading about 50 feet below gage. 

CONTROL. Control is the crest of concrete spillway. 

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed in July, and again about November 9,

1919; also about June 30, 1920. Rating curves well defined between 30 and 180 

 V sfeteond-feet. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory. Daily discharge

through the by-pass determined by discharge integrator. Total discharge of canal

is obtained by adding to flow through by-pass the flow through the lock as de- 

; termined from the number of lockages a day; leakage through lock not included.

GENESEE RIVER AT ST. HELENA. N. Y.

LOCATION. At steel highway bridge in St. Helena, Wyoming County, 5J miles below 

Portageville and site of proposed storage dam of New York State Conservation 

Commission and 94 miles above mouth of Canaseraga Creek. *

DRAINAGE AREA. 992 square miles (revised measurement by Conservation Commission).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 14, 1908, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Stevens continuous water-stage recorder on left bank just below bridge, 

installed September 28, 1917, and a chain gage on upstream side of the bridge, 

installed August 14, 1908. Recording gage installed primarily to define fluctuations in medium and high stages. Below stage of 3.3 feet, readings of chain gage 

are used owing to difficulty in keeping lower intake to gage well open. Waterstage recorder inspected by C. S. DeGolyer. Chain gage read by Herman Hper.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Gravel and rocks; shifting occasionally.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1919, 

from water-stage recorder, 11.35 feet at 4.30 p. m. May 22 (discharge, 32,800 secondfeet); minimum stage from wateratage recorder 2.30 feet at 7 a. m. September 30 

(discharge, 60 second-feet).

Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1920, from water-stage recorder, 12.3 feet at 3 a. m. March 13 (discharge, 39,700 second-feet); minimum 

stage (chain gage) 2.10 feet at 7 a. m. October 5 (discharge, about 25 second-feet), 

1908-1920: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, 12.81 feet at 8 a. m. 

May 17, 1916 (discharge. 43,500 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 1.70 feet 

at 5 p. m. October 5 and 8 a. m. October 17, 1913 (discharge, about 18 secondfeet).
/STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO. 99

ICE. Stage-discharge relation slightly affected by ice during 1919, but seriously 

affected by ice during 1920.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation not permanent. Rating curve used for chain 

gage w.ell defined between 50 and 2,000 second-feet. Gage read to quarter-tenths 

twice daily. Curve used for recording gage fairly well defined between 400 and 

30,000 second-feet. Gage h'eights above 3.3 feet taken from recorder; below 3.3 

feet, from chain gage. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily 

gage height to rating table except for days of great range in stage, when it was 

determined by averaging hourly discharge. Records for 1919 good; for 1920 fair.

NOTE. Discharge, Dec. 16,1919, to Mar. 12,1920, determined from gage heights corrected for ice effect by 

means of five discharge measurements and study of gage-height graph and weather records. Discharge

right bank 60 feet downstream from bridge. Prior to 1915 a chain gage fastened 

to upstream side of highway bridge was used. Datum of water-stage recorder 2.73 

feet higher than that of chain gage (540.00 feet Conservation Commission datum). 

Recorder inspected by Theron S. Trewer.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from footbridge erected on lower chord on upstream side of bridge.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Sandy clay; fairly permanent in recent years.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1919, 

from water-stage recorder, 24.45 feet at 2 a. m. May 23 (discharge, 32,000 secondfeet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.95 foot at 5 p. m. September 

29 (discharge, 165 second-feet).

Maximum open-water stage-during year ending September 30, 1920, from 

water-stage .recorder, 22.90 feet, 7 to 8 p. m. July 24 (discharge, 20,700.secondfeet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.38 foot at 11 a. m. October 4

about 18 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation due to operation of mills at Mount Morris is 

observable during extremely low water.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent during the year except 

as affected by ice. Rating curve well defined between 150 and 7,000 second-feet 

and fairly well defined between 7,000 and 60,000 second-feet. Operation of waterstage recorder satisfactory ^hroughout year. Daily discharge ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height obtained by inspecting recorder 

graph or, for days of considerable fluctuation, by averaging discharge for intervals 

of the day. Open-water records good; winter records fair.

OWASCO LAKE OUTLET HEAR AUBURN, K. Y.

LOCATION. On the farm of Charles H. Pearce, 2 miles below center of Auburn, 

Cayuga County, and 3} miles below State dam at outlet of Owasco Lake.

DRAINAGE AREA. 206 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. November 17, 1912, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Gurley water-stage recorder in a concrete shelter on left bank, on the farm 

of Charles H. Pearce. Recorder inspected by Charles H. Pearce.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable directly opposite the gage or by 

wading. . «

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. A low concrete control has been constructed about 15 feet 

below the gage. Crest of control is 1 foot wide and the slopes of both upstream 

and downstream faces are J:l. A small horizontal apron built on a level with 

the bed of the stream extends downstream 2£ feet from toe of dam. Mean elevation of the left end of the dam for a distance of 50 feet is gage height 1.28 feet; the 

remaining 50 feet of the crest of the dam is at a gage height 2.13 feet.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1919, 

from water-stage recorder, 3.55 feet at 9. a. m. April 12 (discharge, 1,160 secondfeet); minimum stage from recorder, 1.47 feet at 9.45 p. m. September 2 (discharge, 

_ 10.6 second-feet).

Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1920, from jpater-stage 

recorder, 3.84 feet at 7 a. m. March 29 (discharge, 1,520 second-feet); minimum 

stage from water-stage recorder, 1.38 (effective) feet at 7 p. m. August 21 (discharge, 3.8 second-feet).

1912-1920: Maximum stage, 6.4 feet during period March 25-30, 1913, determined by leveling from flood marks (discharge, 2,750 second-feet); minimum stage 

from water-stage recorder, 1.38 feet at 7 p. m. August 21, 1920 (discharge, 3. 8 

second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation seldom affected by ice.

DIVERSIONS. An average flow of about 10 second-feet is pumped from Owasco Lake 

for the municipal water supply of the city of Auburn. Proportion returning to 

stream above the gaging station is not known.

REGULATION. Large diurnal fluctuation in flow during low-water periods due to operation of mills in the city of Auburn; seasonal flow regulated at the State dam.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by aquatic growth, 

May to September; not affected by ice during year. Rating curve well defined 

between 1 and 1,700 second-feet. Operation of the water-stage recorder fairly 

satisfactory throughout year. Daily discharge ascertained by averaging the 

hourly discharge. Records excellent except for periods of no gage-height records.

BLACK RIVER HEAR BOONVILLE, N. T.

LOCATION. At highway bridge 1 mile above mouth of Sugar River, 2 miles northeast

of Boonville, Oneida County, and 2 miles downstream from Hawkinsville. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 303 square miles (measured on topographic maps). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. February 16, 1911, to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE. Chain near center of left span, downstream side of bridge; staff gage on right

abutment used for high-water readings; read by W. D. Charbonneau. 

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable about half a mile above gage or by

wading near the gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Rough and full of boulders, permanent. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September

30, 1919, 10.2 feet at 8 a. m. April 13 (discharge, 5,810 second-feet); minimum

stage recorded, 3.0 feet at 5 p. m. June 10 (discharge, 27 second-feet). 

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 8.60 feet at

5 p. m. April 21 (discharge, 3,620 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 3.05

feet at 5 p. m. June 4 (discharge, 30 second-feet). 

1911-1920: Maximum stage (determined by leveling from flood mark) about

12.5 feet during night of March 28, 1913 (discharge, about 10,000 second-feet);

minimum stage recorded, 2.40 feet at 5 p. m. August 26, 1918 (discharge, about

5 second-feet).
STBEAMS TBIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO. 123

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION AND DIVERSION. The State dam at Forestport, about 8 miles upstream, 

provides a reservoir with a capacity of about 2,000,000,000 cubic feet. Water 

is diverted from this reservoir during the navigation season through the Forestport feeder, flowing west to a basin in Boonville. The Black River canal flows 

north from this basin, entering Black River at the foot of Lyons Falls. A spillway 

from the basin overflows into Mill Creek, a tributary of Black River. Water 

flowing through these two channels returns to the river below the gaging station, 

thus passing around it. The Black River canal also flows south from Boonville, 

passing put of the Black River drainage and entering the summit level of the Erie 

Canal (or Barge Canal) at Rome.

Occasional discharge measurements have been made at three points to indicate 

the distribution of the diverted water. The water entering Boonville through 

the Forestport feeder has been measured at the highway bridge about 1 mile 

northeast of Boonville. During October, 1915, two water-stage recorders were 

installed on this canal to obtain a continuous record of flow, which is published 

as a separate station,'' Forestport feeder near Boonville, N. Y." The water flowing 

north from the basin through the Black River canal has been measured at the 

highway bridge just below the lock into this canal near the railroad station. 

The water flowing south from the basin has been measured at a private farm bridge 

about 1 mile southeast of Boonville. During September, 1915, two water-stage 

recorders were installed on this canal to obtain a continuous record of the flow, 

which is published as a separate station, "Black River canal (flowing souifch) near 

Boonville, N. Y."

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected by ice. 

Rating curve well defined between 35 and 2,800 second-feet and fairly well 

defined between 2,800 and 4,500 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice 

daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to rating 

table. Records good, except for periods when the stage-discharge relation was 

affected by ice, for which they are fair.

at~2.45 p. m. July 29,1917 (discharge, about 16 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation not affected by ice except during extremely cold 

periods.

96907 23 WSP 504 9
126 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

REGULATION. Seasonal distribution of flow is regulated by Beaver River flow, Fulton 

Chain lakes, Forestport reservoir, and other storage reservoirs in the upper part of 

the drainage basin. Some diurnal fluctuation at low stages due to mills and 

power plants above station.

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted from Black River into Forestport feeder at Forestport. Part of this water returns to river through various spillways and through 

Black River canal (flowing north).- The remainder passes out of the drainage 

basin through Black River canal (flowing south); the record at the station on 

Black River canal (flowing south) at Boonville indicates the amount of this 

diversion. See also "Regulation" and "Diversion" in description of station 

on Black River near Boonville.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, not affected by ice. 

Rating curve well defined between 500 and 18,000 second-feet. Gage read to 

half-tenths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily 

gage height to rating table. Records good except for days of low discharge, for 

which they may be poor.

128 SURFACE WATER. SUPPLY, 1910-1920, PAET W.

BLACK RIVER AT WATERTOWN, N. Y.

LOCATION. 150 feet below Vanduzee Street Bridge in Watertown, Jefferson County. 

No important tributary enters river below this point.

DRAINAGE AREA. 1,890 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. July 18 to September 30,1920, at present site; March 24,1917, 

to July 17, 1920, at site three-fourths mile below Black River.

GAGE. Vertical staff attached to downstream side of right bridge abutment, and 

inclined staff on right bank about 150 feet below; read by employees of Black River 

Regulating District.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable just below inclined gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel rocky and rough, control permanent.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during period of record, 2.99 

feet at 8.25 a. m. July 21 (discharge, 3,980 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 

0.46 foot at 8.40 a. m. September 7 (discharge, 284 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation probably not affected by ice.

REGULATION. Seasonal distribution of flow is regulated by Beaver River flow, 

Fulton Chain Lakes, Forestport reservoir, and other storage reservoirs in the

* upper part of the drainage basin. Some diurnal fluctuation at low stages due 

to mills and power plants above the station.

DIVERSIONS. Water is diverted from Black River into the Forestport feeder at 

Forestport. A part of this water returns to the river through various spillways 

and through the Black River canal (flowing north)1 ; the rest passes out of the 

drainage basin through the Black River canal (flowing south), the record at the 

station on Black River canal (flowing south) at Boonville indicates the amount of 

this diversion. See also '' Regulation " and '' Diversion " in description of station 

on Black River near Boonville.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation probably permanent. Rating curve fairly 

well defined between 1,000 and 20,000 second-feet. Gage read to hundredth^ 

twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height 

to rating table. Records fair. 

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the year.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Black River at Watertown, N. Y., for the year ending

' Sept. SO, 1920.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO. 129 

FORESTPORT FEEDER NEAR BOONVILLE, N. 7.

LOCATION. At lower end of feeder, above point where it enters the basin at Boonville, Oneida County.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Occasional discharge measurements 1900 and 1905-1915; 

continuous record October 30, 1915, to September 30, 1920.

GAOB. Two Gurley 7-day graph water-stage recorders, with natural scale for gage 

heights. Gage No. 1 is at downstream end of left abutment of steel highway 

bridge in village of HawMnsville; gage No. 2 is on left bank, just below a farm 

bridge about a mile above the basin at Boonville; gages are 2.53 miles apart. 

These gages and the two in the Black River canal (flowing south) near Boonville are all set at the same datum; recorders inspected by Charles Nugent.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the steel highway bridge at gage No. 1 in 

HawMnsville.

DETERMINATION OP DISCHARGE. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy 

formula. The coefficient "C," computed from each current-meter measurement is plotted with reference to date of measurement. A smooth curve drawn 

through the plotted points shows the variation of "C" through the season, aili 

the coefficient for each day is taken off the curve. The other factors in the 

Chezy formula are obtained from gage-height records and cross section of the 

canal.

DIVERSIONS. One spillway takes water from the Forestport feeder just below gage 

No. 2 and a second spillway takes water from the basin in Boonville. Both 

discharge into Mill Creek, which enters Black River below the Boonville gaging 

station. No spillway between gage No. 1 and gage No. 2. Other spillways in 

the feeder above gage No. 1 discharge into Black River above the gaging station. 

Therefore, this station indicates the total amount of water diverted past the 

gaging station on Black River near Boonville, and the sum of this record and 

the record for the Black River near Boonville indicates the total run-off of the 

Black River basin above these gaging stations.

REGULATION. Flow in the feeder is regulated at the outlet of Forestport reservoir.

ICE. There is usually no flow in the canal during the winter. Water was observed 

in the canal several times during the winters of 1917-1918, 1918-1919, and 1919- 

1920, and occasional current-meter measurements of the discharge were made.

ACCURACY. Records good except when either recorder is out of commission. At 

such times, estimates of missing gage heights are made from gage height hydrographs or by comparison with gage heights from other recorder. Records for 

such periods, fair.

BLACK RIVER CANAL (FLOWING SOUTH) NEAR BOONVILLE, N. T.

LOCATION. Slope station in summit level of Black River canal, near Boonville, 

Oneida County.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. Occasional discharge measurements, 1900 and 1905-1915; continuous record September 16, 1915, to September 30, 1920.

GAGES. Two Gurley 7-day graph water-stage recorders with natural scale for gage 

heights, 1.81 miles apart. Gage No. 1 is on right bank (opposite towpath) about 

50 feet downstream from collector's office in Boonville; gage No. 2 is on right 

bank (opposite towpath) about 300 yards above Lock 70 and 50 yards above spillway from the canal into Lansing Kill. These gages and the two gages in the 

Forestport feeder near Boonville are set to the same datum. Recorders inspected 

by Charles Nugent and Fred Kesauer.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from the steel and concrete highway bridge in 

the village of Boonville, a short distance below gage No. 1.

DETERMINATION OF DISCHARGE. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy formula. The coefficient "C" computed from each current-meter measurement is 

plotted with reference to date of measurement. A smooth curve drawn through 

the plotted points shows the variation of "C" through the season, and the coefficient for each day is taken off the curve. The other factors in the Chezy formula 

are obtained from gage-height records and cross section of canal.

DIVERSIONS. No diversions between gage No. 1 and gage No. 2. Records obtained 

at this station indicate the quantity of water diverted for the canal from the 

Black River basin into the Mohawk River basin.

REGULATION. Flow in canal is regulated by operation of spillway and sluice gates 

at Lock 70, and also by discharge of Forestport feeder into the basin at Boonville.

ICE. No flow in canal during winter season.

ACCURACY. Records good, except when either recorder is out of commission. At 

such times estimates of missing gage heights are made from gage-height hydrograph or by comparison with gage-height graph from other recorder. Records 

for such periods, fair.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO. 138

MOOSE RIVER AT MOOSE RIVER, N, T.

LOCATION. In village of Moose River, Lewis County, 3 miles downstream from 

McKeever, 5 miles below mouth of South Branch of Moose River, and nearly 20 

miles above junction of Black and Moose rivers at Lyons Falls.

DRAINAGE AREA. 370 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 5,1900,.to September 30,1920.

GAGE. Staff in two sections on left bank a short distance above the cable; read by 

H. W. Hoch October 1 to December 31, 1919, and by W. D. Rinkle May 13 to 

September 30, 1920. Gage datum was lowered 0.17 foot February 28, 1903, and 

again, 5.00 feet on January 1, 1913.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable a short distance below gage.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Cobblestones and boulders; fairly permanent. Current 

smooth; depth comparatively uniform^ Ice and logs occasionally jam above 

the station on a small island.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

30, 1919, 14.5 feet at 8 a. m, April 12 (discharge, 10,400 second-feet); Tmnlminn 

stage recorded, 5.25 feet at 8 a. m. June 27 (discharge, 93 second-feet).

Maximum stage for year ending September 30, 1920, not recorded; minimum 

stage recorded, 5.2 feet on morning of June 29 (discharge, 83 second-feet).

1900-1920: Maximum stage recorded, 16.3 feet during the afternoon of March 27, 

1913, determined by leveling from flood markp (discharge, about 16,500 secondfeet); minimum stage recorded, 4,94 feet July 21,23, 25,26, and 27,1913 (discharge, 

about 42 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation affected by ice.

REGULATION. A timber dam at McKeever, 3 miles upstream, is used for power and 

for the regulation of flow during log driving. Seasonal distribution of flow affected 

by operation of the State dam at Old Forge. This regulation is indicated by a 

record from station "Middle Branch of Moose River at Old Forge."

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except as affected by 

ice. Rating curve well defined between 100 and 5,500 second-feet. Gage read 

to half-tenths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily 

gage height to rating table. Records good except for low stages when mean of 

two daily readings of gage may not indicate the correct mean gage height owing to 

fluctuations in stage; for low stages records are fair.

5 p. m. April 25 and 8 a. m. April 26 (discharge, 311 second-feet); minimum 

discharge, 16 second-feet, October 18 to November 3.

1911-1920: Maximum stage recorded, 6.3 feet March 28, 1913; stage-discharge 

relation affected by backwater from Moose River; discharge computed from 

record at dam, 760 second-feet. Minimum discharge, 16 second-feet, October 18 

to November 3, 1919.

ICE. Stage-discharge relation not affected by ice.

REGULATION. Flow controlled by gates at dam.
136 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1&19-1920, PART IV.

ACCURACY.-*-Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except as affected by 

backwater from log jams; not affected by ice. Bating curve well defined between 

20 and 400 second-feet. Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge 

ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height. For days on 

which gates at dam were changed mean daily gage height was weighted on basis 

of record of gate openings. Records good; fair for^days on which gate opening 

at the dam were changed.

138 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

BEAVER RIVER AT STATE DAM, NEAR BEAVER RIVER, N. Y.

LOCATION. At concrete storage dam at outlet of Beaver River flow, 7£ miles west of 

Beaver River post office, Herkimer County, and 7 miles above Beaver Lake at 

Number Four.

DRAINAGE AREA. 176 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 11, 1908, to September 30, 1920.

GAGES. Elevation of water surface in the reservoir is determined by a staff gage in 

two sections, on the west corner of the gate house; read by James Dunbar, gate 

tender. The mean elevation of the crest of the spillway is at gage height 16.96 

feet. Widths of sluice gate openings determined by measuring on the gate stems 

the distance they have been raised.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS.^ Current-meter measurements made from a temporary 

footbridge at the mouth of the outlet tunnel, below the gates. Discharge over 

the spillway has not been measured.

DETERMINATION OP DISCHARGE. Records include the discharge through circular 

sluice gates, the logway at the west end of the spillway, and over the spillway. 

The sluice gates have been rated by current-meter measurements made at different lake elevations but no measurements have been made of the discharge over 

the spillway or through the logway. Theoretic coefficients based on the Cornell 

experiments 1 have been used to compute ratings for the spillway and logway.

REGULATION. At ordinary stages the discharge of Beaver River is completely regulated by the operation of the sluice gates.

EXTREMES OP STAGE. Maximum stage of reservoir recorded during the year ending 

September 30,1919,18.9 feet at 7.15 a. m. April 12; minimum stage recorded, 

7.0 feet at 4.05 p. m. September 19.

Maximum stage of reservoir recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 

18.55 feet at 8.30 a. m. June 3; minimum stage recorded 3.4 feet at 7.05 a. m. 

March 13. 

1908-1920: Maximum elevation of water surface in reservoir 19.46 feet, March

29. T.913; minimum stage, 2.9 feet, September 29 and October 1, 1913. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum daily discharge during year ending September

30. 1919, 2,700 second-feet, April 12; minimum discharge about 4 second-feet, 

March 22, when gates were closed.

Maximum daily discharge during year ending September 30,1920,1,640 secondfeet, April 4; minimum discharge, zero, several days in November, March, and 

July, when gates were closed.

1908-1920: Maximum discharge, 3,300 second-feet on May 2, 1911; minimum 

discharge, zero, during periods when gates were closed and there was no flow 

over spillway.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent; probably not affected by ice. Rating curves for sluice gates well defined. Gage on lake read to half-tenths once 

daily. The accuracy of computations depends on the care with which the gates 

were set to the recorded openings. Records fair.

No discharge measurements were made during the years ending September 30,1919 

and 1920.

daily gage height to rating table. v Records only fair, as mean daily gage heights 

are obtained from only two readings, and may be considerably in error on account 

of artificial regulation.

OSWEGATCHIE BITER NEAR HETTVELTON, K. Y.

LOCATION. About 2J miles above Heuvelton, St. Lawrence County, 3 miles below 

Rensselaer Falls, and 7 miles above mouth of Indian River (outlet to Black Lake).

DRAINAGE AREA. 961 square miles (measured on topographic maps.).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 23, 1916, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Gurley 7-day graph water-stage recorder on the right bank, about 2J miles 

above Heuvelton, installed September 16, 1916. Prior to this date gage height 

was determined by measuring the distance from a reference point to the water 

surface. Recorder inspected by George Todd.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Solid rock.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable 50 feet below gage or by wading.

EXTREME OP DISCHARGE. Maximunx stage recorded during year ending September 

30,1919, 5.94 feet at 1.30 a. m. March 21 (discharge, 7,760 second-feet); minimum 

stage, 1.07 feet at 7 p. m. August 15 (discharge, 404 second-feet).

Maximum open-water stage during the year ending September 30, 1920, from 

water-stage recorder, 6.03 feet at 4 a. m. March 29 (discharge, 7,950 second-feet); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 0.99 foot, noon to 8 p. m. October 5 

(discharge, 360 second-feet).

1916-1920: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, 7.6 feet from 9 a. m. to 

noon March 30, 1917 (discharge, 11,700 second-feet); minimum stage from waterstage recorder, 0.91 foot at 11 p. m. October 16, 1916 (discharge, 320 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation slightly affected by ice.

REGULATION. Some diurnal fluctuation due to operation of mills at Rensselaer 

Falls and above. Seasonal flow regulated by storage in Cranberry Lake.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation permanent except as affected by ice. Rating 

curve well defined betateen 400 and 15,000 second-feet. Operation of waterstage recorder satisfactory during the year. Daily discharge ascertained by 

applying to rating table mean daily gage height determined by inspection of 

recorder graph, or for days of considerable variation in stage by averaging discharge for intervals of the day. Open-water records good; winter records fair.

148 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919^-1920, PABT IV. 

RAOTETTE RIVER AT PIERCETIELD, W. T.

LOCATION. Half a mile below dam of International Paper Co. at Piercefield, St. 

Lawrence County, and three-fourths mile above head of Black Rapids.

DRAINAGE AEEA. 723 square miles (all but 16 square miles measured on topographic 

maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 20, 1908, to September SO, 1920. '

GAGE. Stevens water-stage recorder installed October 22, 1912, in a galvanjzed 

sheet-iron house over a concrete well on left bank about half a mile below dam. 

Recorder inspected by employee of International Paper Co.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable three-fourths mile below gage, just 

above Black Rapids.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel opposite gage is a deep pond with no perceptible 

velocity. Control is at head of Black Rapids.

EXTREMES OJP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

30, 1919, 9.93 feet at 9 p. m. April 16 (discharge, 5,170 second-feet); minimum 

stage recorded, 1J62 feet from 6 a. m. to 3 p. m. September 7 (discharge, 43 secondfeet). 1

Maximum stage for year ending September 30, 1920, not ascertained owing to 

breaks in automatic record; minimum stage recorded, 1.56 feet at 1 p. m. March 

21 (discharge, 39 second-feet).

1908-1920: Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, 11.68 feet at 3 a. m. 

April 1, 1913 (discharge, 7,100 second-feet); minimum sfage from Water-stage 

recorder, 0.85 foot at 11 a. m. September 2,1913 (discharge, about 10 second-feet).

ICE. Rapids that form control seldom freeze and meaurements made when the pond 

was covered with ice indicate that the stage-discharge relation was not affected.

REGULATION. Large diurnal fluctuation in flow caused by operation of dam during 

low and medium.] stages. Numerous lakes in upper part of drainage basin afford 

considerable storage, most of which is so controlled that the effect on the seasonal 

distribution of flow is large.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent; not affected by ice. 

Rating curve well defined between 50 and 7,000 second-feet. Operation of waterstage recorder satisfactory except for periods indicated in footnote to dailydischarge table. Daily discharge ascertained by use of discharge integrator. 

Records good.

SAK.ANAC RIVER NEAR PLATTSBTTRG, N. Y.

LOCATION. At Indian Rapids power plant (formerly known as Lozier dam) of Plattsburg Gas & Electric Co., 6 miles above mouth of river at Plattsburg, Clinton 

County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 607 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. March 27,1903, to September 30, 1920.

GAGES. Gage showing elevation of water surface above intake to power plant is a 

Gurley 7-day graph water-stage recorder installed November 12, 1919, in a shelter 

attached to retaining wall at power house on right side of river. Before that date 

the crest gage was a vertical staff on the angle of the wing wall at the end of the 

racks. Datum raised 0.76 foot August 20, 1906. Tailrace gage a vertical staff 

spiked to timber work dike between tailrace and river and about 50 feet below 

power house. Inclined staff gage at cable station, a quarter of a mile below dam.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable at head of Indian Rapids, a quarter 

of a mile below dam. Low-water measurements made by wading under cable or 

in tailrace. Gages and watt meters read by power-house operators.

DISCHARGE RATING. Records include flow over concrete spillway 171.25 feet in 

crest length, a rating for which has been prepared by use of coefficients * derived 

from experiments made in the hydraulic laboratory of Cornell University on a 

model section of the dam; the discharge through two power units equipped with 

300 kilowatt generators which have been rated by current-meter measurements; 

and the discharge through two 5-foot waste gates when open. Occasional observations'are made on the inclined staff gage at the cable as a check on the ratings 

of the spillway and turbines.

1 Horton, E. E., Weir experiments, coefficients, and formulas: U. S. Geol. Survey Water-Supply Paper 

200, pp. 98-100,1907.
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE ! RIVER.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum daily discharge during year ending September 

30,1919, 3,400 second-feet April 12 and 13; minimum dai y discharge 205 secondfeet July 20.

Maximum daily discharge during year ending September 30,1920, 3,400 secondfeet March 27; minimum daily discharge, 270 second-feet January 6 and June 29. 

1908-1920: Maximum daily discharge recorded, 6,410 second-feet, April 20, 

1914; minimum daily discharge recorded, 90 second-feet, September 28,1914.

SPECIAL STUDY. A portable water-stage recorder was operated at the cable for a 

short period in July, 1914. Mean daily discharge computed from its record agreed 

very closely with mean daily discharge derived from power-plant ratings.

ICE. The crest of the spillway is kept free from ice so that the stage-discharge relation 

is not affected.

REGULATION. The lakes and ponds on the main stream and tributaries above the

station comprise a water surface area of about 25.5 square miles. The actual

. storage afforded by these reservoirs has been largely increased by the State dam

at Lower Saranac Lake, the operation of which affects the distribution of flow

throughout the year.

ACCUBACY. Discharge over the spillway ascertained by applying to rating table mean 

gage heights for six-hour periods. Discharge through the turbines ascertained 

by applying to their ratings the mean kilowatt output and head for periods of 

run. Records fair.

COOPERATION. Gage-height records and watt meter readings furnished by Plattsburg 

Gas & Electric Co., Herbert A. Stutchbury, superintendent.

No discharge measurements were made at this station during the years ending 

September 30,1919 and 1920.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Saranac River at Plattsburg, N. Y., for the years ending

Sept. 30, 1919 and 1920.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. 157

WEST BRANCH OF AUSABLE RIVER HEAR NEWMAN, N. 7.

LOCATION. On farm of James Dudley, 4 miles northeast of Newman, Essex County, 

and 4 miles below Lake Placid.

DRAINAGE AREA. 116 square miles (measured on topographic maps).

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June 7, 1916, to December 31, 1917, and July 15, 1919, to 

September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Staff in two sections, on the right bank near the residence of Mr. Dudley. 

Lower section is inclined, graduated from 1.0 to 6.5 feet; the upper section is vertical, graduated from 6.55 to 10.1 feet; read by James Dudley, June 7, 1916, to 

December 31, 1917, by Jesse Martin, July 15 to December 31, 1919, and by 

Mrs. Ethel Fuller, April 14 to September 30, 1920.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from cable 300 feet above gage or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Solid rock.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during period July 15, 1919, to 

Sepember 30, 1920, 5.68 feet at 7 p. m. April 22 (discharge, 1,830 second-feet); 

minimum stage recorded, 1.60 feet at 7.30 p. m. September 13 (discharge, practically zero).

1916-17 and 1919-20: Maximum stage recorded, 6.71 feet at 6 p. m. October 30, 

1917 (discharge, 3,180 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, that of September 

13, 1920.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent. Rating curve fairly 

well denned between 30 and 1,000 second-feet. Gage read to half-tenths twice 

daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage height to 

rating table. Records only fair, as mean daily gage height determined from two 

gage readings daily is subject to error owing to fluctuations in stage caused by 

operation of dams upstream.

AXIS ABLE RIVER AT AUSABLE FORKS, N. 7.

LOCATION. In village of Ausable Forks, Clinton County, immediately below

junction of East and West branches and 15 miles above mouth of river. 

DRAINAGE AREA. 444 square miles (measured on topographic maps). 

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August 17, 1910, to September 30, 1920. 

GAGE. Chain on left bank 1,000 feet below junction of East and West branches;

read by A. S. Baker.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from a cable 1| miles below gage or by wading. 

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Stone and gravel; occasionally shifting. Channel divided

by an island opposite the gage. 

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September

30, 1919, 9.0 feet at 8 a. m. October 6 (discharge, 15,600 second-feet); minimum

state recorded, 3.40 feet at 7 a. m. August 2 (discharge, 110 second-feet). 

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 6.85 feet at

5 p. m. April 13 (discharge, 7,260 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 3.43

feet at 7 a. m. August 28 (discharge, 126 second-feet).

1910-1920: Maximum stage recorded, ifo.2 feet in the evening of March 27,

1913 (discharge, roughly 25,000 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 3.0 feet

at 7 a. m. July 21, 1912 (discharge, practically zero).
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. 161

SPECIAL STUOY. A portable water-stage recorder was installed at this station and a 

continuous gage-height record obtained July 11 to September 30, 1914, which 

showed a continual small fluctuation in stage. It was shown that monthly mean 

discharge for that period based on a semidaily gage height is in error less than 

5 per cent. Some of the determinations of daily discharge showed greater errors* 

but-these were largely compensating.

JCE. Stage-discharge relation slightly affected by ice.

ACCUKACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except when affected 

by ice. Rating curve fairly well defined between 175 and 3,000 second-feet. 

Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying 

mean daily gage height to rating table. Records good.

NOTE. No record Dec. 14 to 28,1919; gage nat read.

LAKE CHAMPLAm AT BURLINGTON, VT.

LOCATION. On south side of roadway leading to dock of Champlain Transportation 

Co. at foot of King Street, Burlington, Vt.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 1, 1907, to September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Staff. Comparisons of gage readings indicate that zero of gage at Burlington 

is at practically the same elevation as that of gage at Fort Montgomery, 92.5 feet 

above mean sea level. Gage read by employee of the Champlain Transportation 

Co.

EXTREMES op STAGE. Maximum stage recorded for year ending September 30,1919, 

6.70 feet, April 19; minimum stage, 1.30 feet September 30.

Maximum stage for year ending September 30, 1920, 7.72 feet May 1. Minimum stage, 1.32 feet October 1.

1907-1920; Maximum stage recorded, 8.20 feet on April 7, 1913; minimum stage 

recorded, 0.25 foot on December 4, 1908.

ICE. Lake Champlain does not usually close over in its wider portions until the 

later part of January. Occasionally the period of closure does not occur until 

February, and sometimes only lasts for a few days. At the northern end of the 

lake above the outlet the period of ice cover is usually from the middle of December to the middle of April.

ACCURACY. Gage read to hundredths once a day at irregular intervals. When the 

lake is rough, there is considerable wave action at the gage and readings at those 

times may not be exact.

COOPERATION. Gage-height record furnished through the courtesy of Mr. D. A 

Loomis, general manager of the Champlain Transportation Co.
106 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. 167

OTTER CREEK AT MIDDLEBURY, VT.

LOCATION. At railroad bridge half a mile south of railroad station at Middlebury, Addison County, 3J miles below mouth of Middlebury River, and 3J miles 

above mouth of New Haven River.

DRAINAGE AREA. 615 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. April 1, 1903, to May 1, 1907, and October 5,1910, to January 

31, 1920, when station was discontinued.

GAGE. Chain; read by A. Lovett and N. A. Brooks.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from boat just below railroad bridge, at the stonearch highway bridge just above the dam, or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel deep; current sluggish for several miles above station. Control for low stages is gravel and boulder rips about 800 feet below gage, 

and is somewhat shifting; control at high stages is near the dam 800 feet farther 

downstream.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

30, 1919, 15.6 feet at 7.25 a. m. April 12 (discharge, 3,050 second-feet); minimum 

stage recorded, 11.82 feet at 8.25 a. m. July 6 (discharge, 224 second-feet).

1903-1907 and 1910-1920: Maximum iftage recorded, 21.07 feet March 30, 

1913 (approximate discharge from extension of rating curve, about 8,000 secondfeet); minimum open-water stage recorded, 11.45 feet September 15, 1913 (discharge, 138 second-feet). A somewhat lower discharge has possibly occurred at 

various times when the stage-discharge relation was affected by ice.

ICE. Ice usually forms to a considerable thickness at the gage and occasionally at 

the control, affecting the stage-discharge relation, during most winters.

REGULATION. Probably little if any effect from power developments above the station. Considerable storage has been developed on tributaries near the head-, 

waters.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation has changed slightly at various times. Rating 

curves fairly well defined for periods used. Chain gage read to quarter-tenths 

once daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying gage height to rating 

table. Records fair.

heights referred to datum by means of a hook gage inside fhe well; an outside staff 

gage is used for auxiliary readings. Recorder inspected by L. D. Smith,.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS.Made from a cable or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel deep and fairly uniform in section at ;the gage; 

control is formed by sharply defined rock outcrop about 500 feet below gage.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage from water-stage recorder during year 

ending September 30, 1919, 14.6 feet at 2.30 p. m. March 28 (discharge from 

extension of rating curve, 15,000 second-feet); minimum stage from water-stage 

recorder, 2.87 feet at 2 a. m. September 7 (discharge, 30 second-feet).

Maximum stage from water-stage recorder during year ending September 30, 

1920, 14.1 feet at 6.15 p. m. March 26 (discharge from extension of rating curve,

DOG RIVER AT NORTHFIELD, VT.

LOCATION. At highway bridge near Norwich University campus in Northfield, Washington County. Union Brook joins Dog River a short distance below station.

DRAINAGE AREA. 47 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 14, 1909, to October 31, 1920, when station was discontinued. Records from May 14, 1909, to August 22, 1910, obtained at lower highway bridge; those from August 23, 1910, to October 31, 1920, at present location.

GAGE. Inclined staff on left bank; read by Florence C. Doyle.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from highway bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel composed of gravel and alluvial deposits; subject 

to slight shifts. Banks overflow at high stages.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 

30, 1919, 7.52 feet at 9 a. m. March 28 (discharge from extension of rating curve, 

3,380 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 1.14 feet on August 12 (discharge, 

7 second-feet).

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 6.0 feet at 

12.30 p. m. March 13 (discharge, 1,630 second-feet); minimum stage recorded:

I.4 feet at 8. a. m. and 6 p. m. August 9 (discharge, 4 second-feet).

1910-1920: Maximum stage recorded at present site, 8.5 feet March 25,1913 (discharge, 3,400 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.60 foot September 10 and

II, 1913 (discharge, 3.0 second-feet). At the lower gage, 1909-10, flow was practically zero at various times when water was held back^ by dam.

ICE. River usually freezes over, and the stage-discharge relation is slightly affected 

by ice during some winters; probably not affected by ice during winters of 1918- 

19 or 1919-20.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation changed slightly during the year and two rating 

curves were used. Rating curves well defined below 600 second-feet. Gage read 

to quarter-tenths twice daily except during winter, when it was read once daily. 

Daily discharge ascertained by applying mean daily gage heights to rating table. 

Records gopd for discharge below 600 second-feet; results somewhat uncertain 

for high stages as banks are overflowed at a discharge of about 2,000 second-feet.

feet downstream from gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage from water-stage recorder during year 

ending September 30, 1919, 10.77 feet at 7 a. m. April 12 (discharge from extension of rating curve, T,530 second-feet); minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 

1.39 feet at 5 a. m. August 6 (discharge from extension of rating curve, 5 secondfeet; water held back by dam).

Maximum stage from water-stage recorder during year ending September 30, 

1920, 8.90 feet at midnight March 26 (discharge, 5,140 second-feet); minimum 

stage from water-stage recorder, 1.48 feet at 2 a. m. August 9 (discharge from

held back by dam).

ICE. River freezes over during extremely cold weather; stage-discharge relation 

slightly affected by ice. Discharge determined from gage heights with corrections for backwater based on current-meter measurements, observer's notes, and 

climatic records.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except when affected 

by ice. Rating curve well denned. Operation of water-stage recorder satisfactory throughout year except for clock stopping frequently during December, 

January, February, and March. Daily discharge ascertained by discharge 

integrator. Records good.

small. Some water leaks around the weir in the old tailrace on left bank.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage during year ending September 30, 1919, 

4.63 feet during early morning of April 12, determined by leveling from highwater marks (discharge from extension of rating curve, about 710 second-feet); 

minimum stage recorded, 0.29 foot August 21, 23, 24, and 26 (discharge, 4.7 

second-feet).

Maximum stage recorded during year ending September 30, 1920, 3.05 feet at 

9 a. m. April 24 (discharge, 310 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 0.20 foot 

morning and afternoon of August 8 and 9 (discharge, 2.7 second-feet).

1915-1920: Maximum stage determined from high-water marks, 4.63 feet on 

April 12, 1919 (discharge from extension of rating curve, about 710 second-feet); 

minimum stage recorded, 0.20 foot August 8 and 9, 1920 (discharge, 2.7 secondfeet).
178 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1919-1920, PART IV.

Ice. Weir and weir cresjt kept clear of ice during winter; stage-discharge relation 

not affected by ice. '

REGULATION. An old timber dam about 2 miles upstream affects flow to some extent. 

The dam leaks by an amount somewhat greater than the low-water flow^ During 

prolonged low stages the surface of water in pond (103 acres) falls below crest of 

dam; subsequent increased flow into pond is retained until water again flows 

over crest, when the increased flow is apparent at gaging station.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent. Rating curve based on 

weir formula, Q=3.33 LH3/2 , with corrections determined from current-meter 

measurements, and with logarithmic extension above gage height 1.90 feet. 

Gage read to hundredths twice daily. Daily discharge ascertained by applying 

mean daily gage height to rating table. Records good below 130 second-feet; at 

the higher stages the weir is flooded and results are somewhat uncertain.

180 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1910-1920, PART IV.

MISSISQTJOI RIVER NEAR RICHFORD, VT.

LOCATION. About 3 miles downstream from Richford, Franklin County, 3 miles 

below mouth of North Branch, and 2 miles above mouth of Trout River.

DRAINAGE AREA. 445 square miles.

.RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 22,1909, to December 3, 1910, and June 26, 1911, £o September 30, 1920.

GAGE. Gurley water-stage recorder on left bank, about one-fourth mile above highway bridge, inspected by P. Sloan until March 20, 1920, and by Harry Jenneafter June 24; chain gage on highway bridge used from June 26, 1911, to July 31, 

1915. From May 22, 1909, to December 3, 1910, gage was just below plant of 

the Sweat-Comings Co. in Richford.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made from highway bridge or by wading.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Channel deep, banks not subject to .overflow; stream bed1, 

composed of gravel, boulders, and ledge rock. Control is sharply denned by rock 

outcrop about 100 feet below gage.

EXTREMES OP DISCHARGE. Maximum stage from water-stage recorder during year 

ending September 30,1919,12.06 feet at 4 a. m. April 12 (discharge, 9,380 secondfeet); minimum stage, from water-stage recorder, 1.93 feet at noon, August 20,. 

(discharge by extension of rating curve, 13 second-feet).

Maximum stage during year ending September 30,1920, about 15 feet on March* 

26 (stage-discharge relation affected by ice and gage house wrecked by ice jam); 

minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 2.05 feet at 10 p. m. August 21 (discharge, 26 second-feet).

1911-1920: Maximum stage recorded, 17. 64 feet April 1, 1918 (stage-dischargerelation affected by ice). Maximum discharge occurred on March 26,1913 (about. 

10,200 second-feet); minimum stage recorded, 4.15 feet (by chain gage), July 14^ 

1911 (discharge, about 8 second-feet).

ICE. Stage-discharge relation usually affected by ice, from December to March; 

discharge determined from gage heights corrected for effect of ice by means of 

current-meter measurements, observer's notes, and weather records.

REGULATION. Considerable daily fluctuation at low stages caused by operation of 

power plants at Richford.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent except when affected by 

ice. Rating curve fairly well defined below 6,000 second-feet. Gsge house 

wrecked by ice March 21, 1920, and^rebuilt June 23; operation of water-stege recorder satisfactory during remainder of the year 1920. Operation of recorder not 

entirely satisfactory prior to March 20,1920, on account of carelessness of observer.. 

Daily dischaige ascertained by applying to rating table mean daily gage height 

determined by inspection of recorder sheets, with corrections for effect of iceduring winter. Records good for open-water periods and poor for the winter.

CLYDE RIVER AT WEST DERBY (NEWPORT), VT.

LOCATION. Just below plant of Newport Electric Light Co. at West Derby (Newport), 

Orleans County, 1 mile above mouth of river.

DRAINAGE AREA. 150 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May 25, 1909, to September 30, 1919, and May 24 to September 30, 1920.

GAGES. Gurley 7-day water-stage recorder on right bank; referenced to gage datum 

by a hook gage inside the well; chain gage fastened to tree is used for auxiliary 

readings. Recorder inspected by E. C. Rogers during 1919 and by F. R. Sherwell 

during 1920.

DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Made by wading near gage or from highway bridge 

half a mile downstream.

CHANNEL AND CONTROL. Stream bed rough and irregular; covered with boulders and 

ledge rock; fall of river rapid for some distance below gage.

EXTREMES OF DISCHARGE. Maximum stage from water-stage recorder, during year 

ending September 30, 1919, 3.77 feet at 7.45 a. m. November 2 (discharge, 1,360 

second-feet); "minimum stage from water-stage recorder, 1.70 feet at 4 a. m. September 1 (discharge from extension of rating curve, about 20 second-feet).

Minimum stage from water-stage recorder during period May 24 to September 

30, 1920, 1.53 feet at 2 p. m. June 13 (discharge from extension of rating curve, 

about 10 second-feet).

1909-1920: High water of March 25-30, 1913, reached maximum stage of 5.8 

feet, as determined from high-water marks (discharge, about 6,300 second-feet); 

minimum stage 1.53 feet at 2 p. m. June 13, 1920 (discharge from extension of 

rating curve, about 10 second-feet).
STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. 183

ICE. Ice usually covers large boulders below gage during greater part of winter 

causing some backwater at the gage. Probably no effect from ice during winter 

of 1918-19.

REGULATION. Flow at ordinary stages fully controlled by two dams at West Derby, 

but power plant is so operated that fluctuations in st^ge are not great. Distribution of flow affected also by several dams above West Derby. Seymour Lake 

and several small ponds in the basin afford a large amount of natural storage, 

but at the present time there is little if any artificial regulation at these ponds.

ACCURACY. Stage-discharge relation practically permanent, except when affected 

by ice; individual current-meter measurements occasionally plot erratically, 

probably because of rough measuring section. Rating curve fairly well defined. 

Operation of water-stage recorder unsatisfactory during a part of the year 1919, as 

indicated in footnote to daily discharge table. Daily discharge ascertained 

by applying mean daily gage height to rating table, using observer's reading 

chain gage when recorder was not in operation. Records fair prior to September 30, 1919, and good since May 24, 1920.
