AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1928.

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 

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

' The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

 relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carr^d the 

following items;

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

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

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

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 firpt kind 

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

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 9.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,480 

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

the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1928,1,830 gaging stations wer^ being 

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating oriitaniza-

tions. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

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

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

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

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-off" or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, 0ach of whhh has become 

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

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

per square mile; and (2) those that represent the act'ial quantity of 

water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of c^bic feet. The 

-principal terms used in this series of reports are seeord-feet, secondfeet per square mile, run-off in inches, acre*feet, and millions of-cubic 

feet. They may be defined as follows:

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

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

of rectangular.cross sectionr .a foot wide and 1;&wfc -deep,<«*,an average 

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

unit from which others are computed.

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

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, 

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as 

regards time and area.

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

covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off 

with rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

An "acre-foot," equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, is the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly 

used in connection with storage for irrigation.

The"following terms not in common use are here denned.

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

of gage height to discharge."

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

the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines the 

stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year bejrinning October 

1, 1927, and ending September 30, 1928. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

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

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

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

At the end of September, on the other hand, the 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

FIGUBE 1. Typical gaging station

that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of 

discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods 

outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river discharge. 

A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder and 

measuring cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

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

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

the daily discharge of the stream and the monthly and yearly discharge 

and run-off.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions 

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

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

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent the 

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

unless a nonrecprding gage was read at the time of the crest.

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

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

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

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily 

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

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily 

discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular intervals 

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

for obtaining mean daily discharge from a continuous gage-height 

graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the 

station.

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

gives the maximum daily discharge, and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily discharge. 

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

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

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

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

of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that records are 

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

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

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures 

showing discharge per square mile and run-off in inches may be 

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

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow at 

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

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

the observations in each succeeding year may be expected tc throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

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

available for further development^ as prior appropriations below the 

stations must first be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

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

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

it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects as 

irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigatiors have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and annual 

reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published 

annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries 

coincide with the natural drainage features as indicated below:

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

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River to 

the Mississippi).

III. Ohio River Basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River Basin.

V. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado River Basin.

X. The Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California. 

XII. North Pacific slope basins, in three parts:

A, Pacific slope basins in Washington and upper Columbia River Basin.

B, Snake River Basin.

C, Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower Columbia River Basin.

Stream-flow records have been obtained at about 5,480 points 

in the United States, and the data obtained have be°*n published in 

the reports tabulated on page 7.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports extend 

over a series of years. Miscellaneous measurements at many points 

other than regular gaging stations have been made each year, and are 

published under "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" at the end 

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

An index of the reports containing records obtained prior to 1904 

has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.
