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 Stater during 

the year ending September 30, 1931.

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 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 United States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, ar d 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 records or by assisting: in collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the fir ^ kind 

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

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on pages 10 and 11.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 6,270 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1931, 2,660 gaging stations wer^ being 

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

1
2 SUBFACE WATEE SUPPLY, 1931, PART I

other points. In connection with this work, data wen 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 second-feet, 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 runoff 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 water flowing in a channel of 

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

velocity of one 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 o* area drained, 

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

regards time and area.

" Kun-off in inches " is the depth to which an area would 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, i^1 the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. Tb^ 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 wl ; ch determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 1, 1930, and ending September 30, 1931. At tH beginning of 

January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation 

in the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, 

or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

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

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 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.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1931, PART 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, a table showing the 

daily discharge of the stream, and a table of 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 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.
PUBUOATIONS 5

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 depth 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 mom 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 ar*,as 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 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:

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

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

Mississippi River).

3. Ohio River Basin.

4. St. Lawrence River Basin.

5. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

6. Missouri River Basin.

7. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

8. Western Gulf 'of Mexico basins.

9. Colorado Riv* r Basin. 

10. The Great Ba In.

Part 11. Pacific slope basins in California.

12. North Pacific slope drainage basins, in three parts:

A. Pacific slope basins in Washington and upper Columbia River

Basin.

B. Snake River Basin. 

C. Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower Columbia River Basin.

PUBIiICATICms 9

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 published from 1899 to 

1931. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the statior 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 S 283, 

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

for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

KENJTEBEC KI7ER AT WATERVHLE, ME.

LOCATION. Staff .gages and water-stage recorder at dam and mill of Hollingsworth & Whitney Co. at Waterville, Kennebec County, 2 miles above 

Sebasticook River and 3}4 miles above Messalonskee Strear*.

DRAINAGE AREA. 4,270 square miles.

REMARKS. Discharge computed from flow over dam and through logway and 

water wheels of mill. Numerous power plants and much storage above 

station; records not corrected for storage. Comparative studies of monthly 

averages with gaging stations above Waterville indicate that record as 

published below is small for low flows, the discrepancy rang'ug from 1 to 20 

per cent for the low-water months, but the high-water montl ^ and the yearly 

average compare fairly closely with records from gaging stations above. 

Records furnished by Hollingsworth & Whitney Co.

148 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1931, PART 1

GLENS FALLS FEEDER AT GLENS FALLS, N. 7.

LOCATION. Slope station at upper end of feeder canal at Gleng- Falls, Warren 

County. Three water-stage recorders determine slope from point of diversion from Hudson River at feeder dam to point near first lock (No. 13) below.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. May, 1927, to September, 1931.

REMARKS. Records fair. Daily discharge determined by use of Chezy formula,

feet above mean sea level.

DBAINAQE ABBA. 280 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. August, 1928, to September, 1931. June, 1897, to August, 

1905, at Middle Bridge, 1 mile above present site.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, about 3,020 second-feet July 9 

(gage height, 8.16 feet); minimum, 35 second-feet Jan. 15 (gage 1 eight, 1.00 

foot).

(gage height, 8.80 feet); minimum, that of Jan. 15, 1931. 

Maximum stage known, 11.9 feet in July, 1928.
