SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE GREAT BASIN, 1R44

SCOPE OF WORK

this volume Is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

stage and flow made on streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the united states during the 

water year ending September 30, 1944. 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 ,lakea and reservoirs have been made at about 10,00fr gaging stations 

in the 48 states and also at many In the ferrltorles of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1944, 

5,340 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 aany 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; oooper- - 

atlon of the second kind Is acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," In the intro- 

.ductory natter that precedes the gaglng-statlon records In each volume. In the present 

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

DEFIMinON OF TERMS

The units In which stream-now data are presented In this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

"Second-feet* Is an 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 fcot per second. ^

"Second-feet per square mile* is the average number of cubic feet;, of water flowing pepsecond from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the runoff Is distributed uniformly both as regards tlae and area.

. "Runoff tn inches'1 is the depth to which an area would be covered If all the water 

draining from It IB 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 t&e quantity t»f water required to cover.an acre to the depth of 

1 foot and Is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. The term is comnonly 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 is equivalent to 86,400 cubic f«$t, 1.983471 aore-feet, or 646,317 gallons and 

represents a runoff of 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.

"Stage-discharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term* "relation between gage "height ' 

and discharge."

"Control* la a tern 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 structure. ~ ,,

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1944, PART 10

"Contents* is a term applied to ttie 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 need to supplement tiie records of stage and discharge 

measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are'obtained either from 

direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a "continuous record of the fluctua'tlons. 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' 1.

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

daily 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 tiie "shifting-control method," In which correction tactors based on Individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are.ueed In applying the 

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

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, d>ffcrlbed above.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is 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 d&terralnatlon of discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall la obtained 

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

the stage-discharge relation, is affected by changing stage,.and from 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. Dis- - 

charge for perlode of Ice effect Is computed on the basis of the gage^helght 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. For those 

stations at which the stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice, the days' included in 

the periods of Ice effect either are indicated In the table by symbols referring to a 

footnote that states this fact or are given in a general note following the "table. The 

days on which discharge measurements were made during or between periods of,Ice effect, 

shortly before the first period, or shortly after ,tha last period are similarly Indicated 

by a footnote. v

For most of the gaging stations 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 dleeharge and runoff. Skeleton rating

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

greater part of ttie 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 "Extremes" are given the maximum discharge and gage height; 

the minimum discharge If there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily 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 nonrecording 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 ta~ble 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 daily mean discharge, which must be obtained by averaging the discharge 

for parts of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, an Instrument f3r obtaining the 

daily 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 mice 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 tte maximum dally discharge, not the momentary discharge v/hen 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 vaitt§"aei&tT,

TIME BASIS

At 2 a.m. oil 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 J hour, or to 3 a.m. Records of daily discharge prior.to February 9, 1942, were 

computed on the basis of standard time. Reeoi'ds subsequent to" that date have been computed 

on the basis of war time. To coiWert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED REaiLTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depende 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, tfts error in the dally records Is 

believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than IS per^ 

cent; and "poor," probably n»re than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean 

discharge "and runoff are, In general, more accurate than tlie dally records.

Yield at some stations as indicated by monthly means nay vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by-storage, increase or decrease In evapora lon 

due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of "second-feet 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 satisfactory 

adjustments can be made for changes In contents or reservoirs or for other changes. Incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir Is not included In the adjustments for 

changes ,ln reservoir contents, unless Its Inclusion Is Indicated." Figures of second-feet 

per square mils and runoff in inches are also omitted If the drainage area Includes large 

noncontrlbuting areas or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage area is less 

t*an 20 inches. . - -

!

Many 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 sot show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations 

below the station nust.first be satisfied.

The table of Monthly discharge presents In summary ths distribution of the flow past the 

station. The table of dally discharge affords opportunity for n»re detailed studies of the 

variation In flow. As further observations In each succoring year raaj be expected to 

ttirow new light on data previously published, it ehould be bom© In mind that such data are 

subject to revision in succeeding water-supply papers.

Papers on surface-water supply containing records from. 1899 to date, grouped "by years 

and drainage 'basins, are listed by number on page 8. Tne data for any particular gaging 

station will, in general, be found In the reports covering the years during whielt-the

station was maintained. For exampre, the "data for 1910 to 1930 for any station in the

\

area covered by part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433,

453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

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, the streams and points of measurement listed appearing in the same 

relative order as the streams and gaging stations In the body of he .report. 'An index of 

.the records obtained prfor to 1904 has been .published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

Bach 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, tor- the area covered by that report, a 

summary of yearly discharge at gaging stations at which 10 or more complete years of 

record have been collected. These summaries are available also as separate reprints.

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED ^BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY . - The following table contains a list' of gaging stations for the area covered by this 

report at which records of daily discharge were collected during the water year October 

1943 to September 1944 by agencies other than the Geological Survey. The records for 

these stations are not contained In publications of the Geological Survey except as noted 

in footnotes to the table. Records for many canals and ditches and occasional records for 

several natural streams, none of which are here listed, have also been collected, and 

some of them have- been ^published In the reports of Irrigation projects or of the water 

commissioner of the drainage basin in which the streams are situated.

14 GAGING-STATION RECORDS

GREAT SALT LAKE BASIN 

Gages on Great Salt Lake, Utah

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°44'15", long. 112°13'30", 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. 112°36', at Mldlake, on 

Lucln cut-off of Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles west of Ogden. Datum of Boat 

Harbor gage Is 4,186.85 feet above mean sea level, that of Mldlake gage, 4,198:0 

feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. 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 September 1944 In reports of Geological Survey. -July 1903 to December 1934 

in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. Diagram showing fluctuations of lake from 1851- 

1940 Is published in Water-supply Paper 880.

Extremes .- Maximum elevation during year, 4,196.5 feet June 15 at Mldlake gage; minimum 5 feet Oct. 15 and Nov. 1 at Boat Harbor gage. 

1851-1944: 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 

 W1M, as the two gages are about 40 miles apart. To compensate for wind effect, 

elevations given for Boat .Harbor gage are taken trom 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.
