AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1933.

The data presented in these reports were collected by t>e 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 Ihe 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 studies 

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 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.

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 first kind are 

made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,680 

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

Hawaiian- Islands. In July 1933, 2,800 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-countTy and will be 

made available in wate^-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "rur-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, secondfeet 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 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 wonld 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, if 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 which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1, 1932, and ending September 30, 1933. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the p-^ecipitation in
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

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

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

and staff gages, cable, and car.

run-off 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 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
4 SURFACE WATEK SUPPLY, 1933, PART 9

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 

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 information hi regard to the 

location and type of gage, diversions that decrease the flow at the 

gage, artificial regulation from pondage and storage, and the accuracy 

of the records. Information under "Discharge" gives the maximum 

and minimum recorded discharges and the average discharge. The 

maximum does not necessarily represent the crest discharge unless a 

water-stage recorder was in operation or a nonrecording gage was 

read at the time of the crest. Likewise, the minimum may not 

represent the lowest discharge. The average discharge is the average 

of the mean annual discharges for the years indicated. It is given 

only for stations for which there are 10 or more complete years of 

record.

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 

of 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.
PUBLICATIONS O 

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 in general the 

daily records are accurate within 5 percent; "good" within 10 

percent; "fair" within 15 percent; and "poor" within 21 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 non^-ontributing 

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 to throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated r.reas of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

streams, and the discharge recorded does not show the vater 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 th e volume of 

flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting th at 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. 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 natural drainage features as indicated below:

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 measurement-" at the end 

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

An index of the reports containing records obtained pnor 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 

1933. The data for any particular station will as a rule be found in 

the reports covering the years during which the staf.ion was maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any 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.
