SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE GREAT BASIN, 1943-

SCOPE OF WORK

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

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

water year ending September 30, 1943. The work was begun in 1888 in connection with 

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

stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 9,670 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1943, 

5,130 gaging stations, including those In Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made 

-during the water year at many other points.

In the execution of the work many State, and private organizations have cooperated, 

either by furnishing data or by assisting In collecting data. Cooperation of the first 

kind is acknowledged In connection with the description of each station affected; cooper>- 

atlon of the second kind is acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," in the introductory matter that precedes the gaglng-statlon records in each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the seoond kind appears on page 12.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units in which stream-flow data are presented in this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows: . ,

"Second-feet* is aii abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A second-foot is the 

rate of discharge of a stream whose channel Is 1 square foot In cross-sectional area,and 

^whose average velocity is 1 foot per second.

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

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

"Runoff in inches* is the depth to which an area would be covered if all the water 

draining from It In a given period were uniformly distributed on its surface, it Is used 

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

An "acre-foot" is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 

foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term Is commonly used In connection with 

storage for irrigation.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 24 

hours. It ie equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet,1 or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a runoff of O.Q372 inch from 1 square mile,

"Stage-discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the term "relation between gage 

height and discharge."

1
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 10

"Control" is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage that determines' 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach 

of the channel, or an artificial etructure.

"Contents" Is a term applied to the volume of water In a reservoir, not Including water 

In bank storage unless so Indicated.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, measurements of 

discharge, and general Information used to supplement the records of stage and discharge 

measurements In determining the dally flow. The records of stage are obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecordlng gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined In standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. Typical structures In use at gaging stations are shown In figure i.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the daily mean gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharge are computed. 

If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual 

change In the physical features that form the control, the dally mean discharge is 

determined by the "shifting-control method," in which correction factors based on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used In applying the 

gage heights to the rating tables. At times the stage-discharge relation for a station f

may be temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control. 

For such times the dally mean discharge is computed by what Is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" method, described above. >

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

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

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

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

the stage-discharge relation Is affected by changing stage, and for them the rate of 

change of stage is used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

At most gaging stations In the northern part of the united States and at some in the 

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice during 

the winter, which makes It Impossible to compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and 

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration 'being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and 

comparable records of discharge for stations in the same or nearby basins. The days 

included In the periods of ice effect and the days during the winter period on which discharge measurements were made are indicated In the table by symbols referring to footnotes 

or are given in a general note following the table.

For most of the gaglng^statlons on streams In the area covered by this report the data 

presented comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of 

the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and runoff. Skeleton rating 

tables are published for all stations except those at which the dally discharge for the 

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

or other special methods.

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

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

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

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

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

complete years of record. Under "Extremee" are given the maximum discharge and gage 

height; the minimum discharge If there Is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge If there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge If useful); and the 

minimum gage height (unless It Is of no Importance). Unless otherwise qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage 

recorder or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum discharge represents the lowest stage, unless otherwise qualified. Selected peak discharges 

with the times of their occurrence are given below the table of monthly discharge for some

stations. This supplementary Information Is generally omitted for a station at which the

drainage area of the stream Is less than 10 or more than 10,000 square miles or at which, 

on most days, the peak discharge exceeds the mean discharge by less than 10 percent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

second-feet corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage or the mean of twice-daily 

readings. For periods of rapidly changing stage the dally mean discharge Is determined 

from gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice dally or oftener, as 

stated In the station description.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the figures given In the table of dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally discharge, not the momentary discharge when the water 

surface was at crest stage. Likewise, In the column headed "Minimum" the quantity given 

is the minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives the average flow In cubic 

feet per second during the month.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs 

a table showing dally contents Is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages Is 

usually given In the first report In which data for a station are published but Is omitted 

from succeeding reports.
« SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1943, PART 10 5 

TIME BASIS

At 2 a.m. on February 9, 1942, as an emergency measure, the Nation shifted from

standard time to "war time," and clock time In the several zones of the country was moved

\ 

ahead 1 hour, or to 3 a.m. Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, were

computed on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed on the basis of war time. To convert war time'to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

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

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, 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, in general, the error in the dally records Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 

percent; and "poor," probably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly 

mean discharge and runoff are, In general, more accurate than the dally records.

Yield at some stations as Indicated by monthly means may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease In evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "secondfeet per square mile" and "runoff in inches" are not published unless storage or diversion 

records are Included indicating the extent of the regulation or diversion or unless 

g&tlsfactory adjustments can be made for changes in contents of reservoirs or for other 

changes Incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir Is not included In the 

adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless Its inclusion Is Indicated. Figures 

of second»feet per square mile and runoff In inches are also omitted If the drainage area 

Includes large noncontributlng areas or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage 

area Is less than 20 inches.

1-any gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States'are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded 

does not show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations 

below the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge presents In summary the distribution of the flow past "> 

'the station. The table of daily discharge affords opportunity for more detailed studies 

of the variation In flow. As further observations in each succeeding year may be 

expe.cted to throw new light on data previously published, It should be borne In mind that 

such data are subject to revision In succeeding water-supply papers.

end of each report, the streams and points of measurement listed appearing In the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations ln*the body of the report. An Index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published In Water-Supply Paper 119.

Each of the reports on surface water supply for the year 1939, Issued as Water-Supply 

Papers 871 to 884 (see table on p. 8), contains a summary of yearly discharge at gaging 

stations In the area covered by that report. Gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of record have been collected are represented. These summaries are available 

also as separate reprints.

Note.- Records here listed other than those cited in above notes have not been published. The 

Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture began in 1938 to make 

studies of runoff from four areas of less than 800 acres each In the vicinity of Safford, Aria. 

Records of these studies are in the files of the Soil Conservation Service.

COOPERATION

The work in the several States was done under cooperative agreements with the organizations listed below:

California: State Department of Public Works, F. W. Clark, director to 

December 1942, succeeded by C. H. Purcell, and Edward Hyatt, State engineer; 

State engineer; San Bernardlno and Los Angeles Counties.

Idaho: State Department of Reclamation, E. V. Berg, commissioner, until 

December 1942, succeeded by James Spofford, State reclamation engineer. 

Nevada: Office of State Engineer, A. M. Smith. 

Oregon: Office of State Engineer, C. D. Stricklln. 

Utah: Office of State Engineer, Ed. H. Watson. 

Wyoming: Office of State Engineer, L. C. Bishop.

Work after June 30, 1943, In the Bear River Basin (exclusive ;f naiad Valley)Was done 

under cooperative' agreements with the State Department of Reclamation of Idaho, the 

Office of State Engineer of Utah, the Office of State Engineer of Wyoming, and the 

Bureau of Reclamation of the United States Department of the Interior.

Financial assistance was furnished by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, in constructing and operating four gaging stations in-. Utah and In obtaining high-water discharge measurements at stations in Utah and Nevada.
DIVISION OF WORK 13

Assistance In collecting records was rendered also by the following organizations:

California: Walker River Irrigation District.

Idaho: Bureau of Reclamation of the United States Department of the Interior.

Oregon: Fish and Wildlife Service o-f the United States Department of the 

Interior; Harney and Lake Counties.

Utah: Bureau of Reclamation of the United States Department of the Interior; 

Utah Power & Light Co.

Wyoming: Bureau of Reclamation of the United States Department of the 

Interior.

DIVISION OF WORK

The stream-gaging work was conducted by the water resources branch of the Geological 

Survey, Glenn L. Parker, chief hydraulic Engineer, Carl G. Paulsen, assistant-chief 

hydraulic engineer, and Rudolph G. Kasel, chief of the division of surface waters. The 

data for the stations In the several States were collected and prepared for publication 

under supervision of district engineers as follows: In California (except for stations 

In Walker Lake and Carson River Basins), H. D. McGlashan; In Idaho (except for stations 

on Bear River), T. R. Newell; In Oregon, G. H. Canfield', the work being clone-in collaboration with c. E. Stricklln, State engineer; In Utah and^Nevada and for stations In Walker 

Lake and Carson River Basins In California and on Bear River in Idaho, M. T. Wilson; In 

Wyoming, Robert Follansbee.

The records were reviewed and the manuscript prepared for publication under the 

direction of B. J. Peterson, hydraulic engineer in charge, and F. J. Flynn, assistant 

engineer, section of reports.
GAOING-STATION RECORDS

GREAT SALT LAKE BASIN 

Gages on Great Salt Lake, Utah

Location.- Waters-stage recorder, lat. 40°44'15",' long. 112°12'30", in NWi sec. 17, T. 1 

S., R. 3 W., at Salt Lake County Boat Harbor, on southeast shore of lake, 17 miles 

west of Salt Lake City; and staff gage, lat. 41°13', long. n8°36 l , at Mldlake, on 

Lucin cut-off of Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles west of Ogden. Datum .of B6at 

Harbor gage is 4,186.85 feet above mean sea level, that of Midlake gage, 4,198.0 

feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 19]2. To reduce elevations to datum of 1929, 

add 0.05 foot.

Records available.- September 1875 to December 1899, March to July 1904, and October 

1912 to septemoer 1943 in reports of Geological Survey. July 1903 to December 1934 

In reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. Diagram showing fluctuations of lake from 1S51- 

1940 Is published in Water-Supply Paper 880.

Extremes.- Maximum elevation during year, 4,196.25 feet May 1, 15, ann June 15 at Midlake 

gage, and May 15 at Boat Harbor gage; minimum, 4,194.6 feet Nov. 1, 15 at Boat Harbor 

gage.

1851-1943: Maximum elevation, 4,211.6 feet in 1873, computed from traditional data 

by E. C. La Rue (see Water-supply Paper 880, p. 125); minimum, 4,193.65 feet Oct. 15 

and Nov. 1, 1940 at Boat Harbor gage and Oct. 15, 1940 at Midlake gage.

Remarks.- Apparent inconsistencies in readings are probably due largely to the effect of 

wind, as the two gages are about 40 miles apart. To compensate for wind effect, elevations given for Boat Harbor gage are taken from a mean slope line defined by several 

days' gage-height graph preceding and following 12:01 a.m. for the first and fifteenth 

of each month.

Cooperation.- Records for Midlake gage furnished by Southern Pacific Railroad.

Average aiscnargeT- 16 years, 208 second-feet.

Extremes.- mximuin discharge during year, 1,570 second-feet June 2 (gage height>-4.08 

feet); minimum, 40 second-feet Oct. 2, 3 (gage height, 0.36 foot).

1927-43: Maximum discharge observed, 1,960 second-feet June 17, 1929 (gage 

height, 4.30 feet): minimum, 6 second-feet Sept. 20, 1934 (gage height, -0.23 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect or those computed from

starr-gage' readings, which are fair. Records do not Include flow bypassing gage during 

extreme high water (estimated 150 second-feet at 1943 maximum discharge). Many 

diversions above station for irrigation. No diversions between station and Echo 

Reservoir. Records do not include water diverted from weber River Basin through 

weber-Provo diversion canal. Flow slightly, regulated by several small reservoirs 

above station. i
