AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

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

measurements of flow made in streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1932.

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 1888 in connection with special studie^- relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the following 

items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the Unitec1 States, 

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

preparation of reports upon the best method 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 firrt kind 

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

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,590 points 

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

Hawaiian Islands. In July 1932, 2,790 gaging stations were being

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

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

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

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

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, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

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

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

The principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, 

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 w»t-er flowing in a channel of 

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

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

unit from which others are computed.

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

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

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

regards time and area.

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

if all the water flowing from it in a given period were uniformly dis-. 

tributed on the surface. It is used for comparng 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, ^he term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigatior.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation", an abbreviation for tl °s term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

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

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1, 1931, and ending September 30, 1932. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

the preceding 3 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 

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.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from 

the discharge measurements. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which 

the monthly and yearly mean discharge is computed.

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

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

the daily discharge of the stream and 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 discharges, 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 

a nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.

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

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

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

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

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

If such stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean 

daily discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular 

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

instrument for obtaining mean daily discharge from a continuous

gage-height graph and containing as an essential element the rating 

curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge, and not the discharge 

when the water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily 

discharge. The column headed "Mean" is the average flow in 

cubic feet per second during the month. On this average flow are

based computations recorded in the remaining columns which are 

defined on page 2.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

permanency of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy
PUBLICATIONS 5

of observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interprets tion 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 percent; "good", within 10 percent; "fair", within 

15 percent; and "poor", within 20 percent 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.

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

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

Mississippi River).

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.

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

1932. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found in 

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

area covered by part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 

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

for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

SALTON SINE BASIN

SALTON SEA

The present Salton Sea began to form in the botton of Salton Sink in November 

1904. It reached a maximum depth of 78.5 feet in February 1907, receded 

slowly to a depth of about 25 feet in 1921, and has fluctuated through a range 

of about 5 feet since 1921.

Records of the stages of Salton Sea from November 1904 to February 1906 

were obtained by the New Liverpool Salt Co. at their plant near the old Salton 

railway station. Records for March to May 1906 were obtained from a series 

of Government gages near the new Salton railway station. In June 1906 the 

Southern Pacific Co. installed a gage at the railroad trestle over Salt Creek and 

records were obtained in that vicinity by the Southern Pacific Co. the United 

States Weather Bureau, and the United States Geological Survey until May 

1921, when the Southern Pacific Co. installed a gage opposite Durmid railway 

station. In April 1921 the Imperial Irrigation District began the collection of 

records using gages at Mullet Island, at mouth of Alamo River, at a poirt opposite Salton station, and since January 1925 at a point near Figtree John Spring, 

on the west shore of the sea.

All gages, except those used in the vicinity of Salt Creek during 1906 to 1921, 

are believed to have referred correctly to sea level. Corrections to readings 

made on the gages in the vicinity of Salt Creek have been based on inspections 

and leveling done during the years 1913 and 1919 to 1923. Hydrographs for 

all the records have been prepared and the elevations in the followirg table 

derived from a study of the graphs and the original readings. The elevations 

given.are the stages on or about the first day of each month.

Records for the period November 1904 to September 1918 were published as 

depths of water in the annual water-supply papers for the years 1906 to 1918. 

All published depths for the period June 10, 1906, to September 30, IS 18, are 

now believed to be about 2.5 feet too small, and those for May 12 to June 5, 

1906, are subject to unknown error.

The bottom of the sea, or that part which first filled with water, is at elevation 273.5 feet below sea level, according to a reference made on October 4, 1905 

by the New Liverpool Salt Co., to the Geological Survey bench mark at old 

Salton station. The maximum height was 195.0 feet below sea level in February 

and March 1907. The area of the water surface is 266 square miles when the 

sea is at elevation 250 feet below sea level, and 328 square miles when at elevation 

240 feet below sea level.
