AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK i

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1930.

The data presented in these reports were collected by tl ^ United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority cortained in 

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

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of tve Geological Survey and the classification of public lands and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national don-"tin.

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 ce Tried the 

following items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the Urited 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.

tions. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements T^ere 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 OP TEKMS

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

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

into twa 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 c* cubic feet. 

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

second-feet per square mile, run-pff in inches, and aen-feet. They 

may be defined as follows:

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

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

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

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

unit from which others are computed.

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

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

on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

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

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

with rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

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

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

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

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

of gage height to discharge."

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

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage whi°,h determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

V1929, and ending September 30, 1930. At the beginning of Janu-* 

ary m most parts of the United States much of the precipitation is 

the preceding three months is stored in the form or sno^v or ice, or in 

ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this stored
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

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 runoff for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived from the 

precipitation within that year.

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of 

measurements of discharge, and general information used to

FIGURE 1. Typical river-measurement station showing concrete well and house for water-stage recorder

and staff gages, cable, and car

supplement the gage heights and discharge measurements in determining the daily flow. The record.s 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.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1930, PART 9

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

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

height 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 

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 water-stage 

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.
PUBLICATIONS 5

The monthly means for any station may represent with nig'1! 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 tH 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 to 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 power, underground waters, and 

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

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

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and 

annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now publishei annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries coincide 

with natural drainage features as indicated below:

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

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

the Mississippi).

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 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 published from 1899 

to 1930. The data for any particular station will be found in the 

reports covering the years during which the station WPS maintained. 

For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area
