SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OP OHIO RIVER BASIN, 1946

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, 1946. 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 10,900 gaging stations 

in the 48 States and also at many in the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1946, 

5,810 gaging stations, including those in Hawaii, were being maintained by the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge neasurements 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; cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged, under the heading "Cooperation," in the introductory natter that precedes the gaging-station records In each volume. In the present 

volume, the section on cooperation of the second 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 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 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 la 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 is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-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" Is a term used to designate a feature downstream from the gage that determines 

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

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1946, PART 3

"Contents" is a term applied to the volume of water in a reservoir . It Is computed on 

the basis of a level pool and does not Include bank storage unless otherwise 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 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 fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the generaj. 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 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 

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

For such times the daily mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the "shiftingcontrol" method, described 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 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 ie 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. 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 the last period are similarly indicated 

by a footnote.

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 daily 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 "Extremes" 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 use.ful); 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 nonrecordI,ng 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 lessx^nan 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 nonrecording 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 tiie column headed "Second-fcot-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 glvan 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, 1946, PART 3 °

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, Increaee or decrease In evaporation 

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 of reservoirs or for other changes Incident 

to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir Is not Included _ln 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 

noncontrtbutlng areas or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage area Is less 

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

below the station must first be satiefied.

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 expected 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.

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

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

station will, In general, be found In the reports covering the years during which the 

station was maintained. For example, the data for 1910 to 1920 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 the report. An Index or 

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, for 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.

OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM 31

Ohio River at Ashland, Ky.

Location.- Water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage, lat. 38°27'20", long. 

bH"36'30", at lock and dam 29 at Ashland, Boyd County, 2.8 miles downstream from 

Big Sandy River. Datum of gage is 483.12 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum. 

Auxiliary water-stage recorder (for low stages) and staff gage at lock and dam 30, 

19.5 miles downstream. Datum of auxiliary gage is 475.1 feet above mean sea level, 

Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 60,750 square miles at dam 29 (authority, U. S. Weather Bureau). 

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1946 (fragmentary prior to October 1939).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 413,000 second-feet Jan. 10; maximum gage 

neignc, 50.6 feet Jan. 10; minimum discharge not determined (occurred in September).

1938-46: Maximum discharge, 587,000 second-feet Jan. 1, 1943; maximum gage height, 

63.85 feet Mar. 9, 1945; minimum daily discharge determined, 4,300 second-feet Oct. 19, 

1939.

Maximum stage known, 73.6 feet Jan. 27, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 50,000 second-feet, which are poor. Discharge 

computed during open-river periods (above 55,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by four readings daily of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Discharge 

computed for slack water (below 55,000 second-feet) by using fall as determined by 

auxiliary recorder as a factor. Base staff gage read four times daily during open 

river.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and six discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, War Department.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1945 to September 1946

65.5 feet Mar. 9, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 75.3 feet Jan. 27, 1937 (discharge, 820,000 second-feet, 

estimated).

Remarks.- Records good except those for slack-water periods, which are poor. Discharge 

ror open-river periods computed by using fall as determined by four readings daily 

of auxiliary staff gage as a factor. Base staff gage read four times daily during 

open river.

34 OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM

Ohio River at Madison, Ind.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 38°43'56", long. 85°22'36", 150 feet upstream from Jefferson 

Street, Madison, Jefferson County, 2.2 miles upstream from Crooked Creek. Datum of 

gage is 403.20 feet above mean sea level, Ohio River datum.

Drainage area.- 90,580 square miles (authority, Corps of Engineers, War Department). 

Records available.- October 1938 to September 1946 (fragmentary, discontinued).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 441,000 second-feet Jan. 12; maximum gage 

height, 40.9 feet Jan. 13.

1938-46: Maximum discharge, 829,000 second-feet Mar. 7, 1945; maximum gage height, 

61.4 feet Mar. 8, 1945.

Maximum stage known, 72.3 feet Jan. 25, 1937.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of doubtful gage-height record or indefinite stage-discharge relation, which are fair. Discharge computed for openriver condition only (generally above 150,000 second-feet), by using rate of change of 

stage as a factor. Gage read twice daily.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record and two discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, War Department.

upstream from Saltlick Creek. Datum of gage is 1,369.8 feet above mean sea level, 

(Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bench mark).

Drainage area.- 972 square miles, including that of Saltlick Creek.

Records available- July 1912 to October 1923 (gage heights only), November 1923 to 

September 1946 (include flow of Saltlick Creek). Gage-height records collected at 

practically the same site since 1884 are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 22 years (1924-46), 2,174 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 26,200 second-feet Jan. 8 (gage height, 9.36 

reet); minimum, 21 second-feet Sept. 19, 20 (gage, height, 1.30 feet).

1923-46: Maximum discharge, 65,200 second-feet Feb. 4, 1932 (gage height, 12.66 

feet), from rating curve extended above 45,000 second-feet by velocity-area studies; 

minimum, 10 second-feet Oct. 15, 1930 (gage height, 1.29 feet).

Maximum stage known, 16.7 feet July 6, 1844, referred to present gage by curve of 

relation (discharge, 125,000 second-feet, from rating curve extended above 45,000 

second-feet). Flood of July 10, 1888, reached a stage of 16.2 feet, referred to 

present gage by curve of relation (discharge, 118,000 second-feet from rating curve 

extended above 45,000 second-feet).

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of no recorder record, which are fair, 

ana those for period of ice effect, which are poor.

166 MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN

Reservoirs in Muskingum River Basin, Ohio

During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers, War Department, constructed 14 

dams on the Muskingum River and tributaries for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy 

District. The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but at 

11 of them a conservation pool is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and 

industrial uses, to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low flow, 

and for recreational and wildlife conservation purposes.

There are no gates on spillways of the dams, except at Senecaville. All regulation is 

done ty gates in tunnels through the dams, except at Beach City and Charles Mill, where 

there are also bypass gates in the conservation weir; at Senecaville, regulation at higher 

stages can be assisted by operation of 11^-foot taintor gates on spillway.

The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level is 1,539,000 acre-feet, of 

which 211,400 acre-feet is retained in the conservation pools.

The Corps of Engineers, War Department, assumeu operation if ^ne reservoirs or. nug. 13 

1939, and furnished gage-height records and capacity curves used tu compute data contained

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 1,140 second-feet Feb. 27 (gage height, 5.21 

reet); minimum, 1.1 second-feet Aug. 9, 10 caused by installation of stop-logs on small 

dam above station.

1941-46: Maximum discharge, that of Feb. 27, 1946; minimum, 0.2 second-foot 

Nov. 9, 1944.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods of ice effect, which are poor. Part of 

municipal water supply for city of Canton is pumped from its northeast well field. 

A large portion of pumpage is believed to be diverted indirectly from creek as recharge for aquifer supplying the well field. Mean annual pumpage for the water years 

1942-46 is given below:

a. No gage-height record; discharge computed on basis of recorded range in stage and records for 

station at Ivanhoe.
224 KANAWHA RIVER BASIN

New River at Radford, Va.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 37°08' , long. 80°34', at Rddford, Montgomery County,

 y ,000 feet downstream from bridge on U. S. Highway 11, 5 miles downstream from Little 

River, and 5f miles downstream from Claytor Dam. Datum of gage is 1,712.36 feet above 

mean sea level, datum of 1989.

Drainage area.- 2,748 square miles.

Records available.- August 1939 to September 1946 in reports of Geological Survey. October

 1907 to September 1915 (revised records) in Bulletin 31, Virginia Geological Survey. 

August 1898 to September 1907, published in reports of Geological Survey and Bulletins 

3 and 10 of the Virginia Geological Survey, believed to be unreliable because of 

doubtful gage-height record. Gage-height records collected at same site since 1895, 

but at different datum, are contained in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau.

Average discharge.- 15 years (1907-15, 1939-46), 3,793 second-feet (adjusted).

extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 44,400 second-feet (regulated) Jan. 8 (gage

 height, 13.07 feet); minimum, 300 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 10 (gage height, 1.27

Teet, from Telemark); minimum daily, 1,200 second-feet Aug. 11.

1907-15, 1939-46: Maximum discharge, 218,000 second-feet Aug. 14, 1940 (gage height,

35.96 feet), from rating curve extended above 73,000 second-feet on basis of records for

other stations on New River and flow over Claytor Dam (computed by Appalachian Electric

Power Co.); minimum, 165 second-feet (regulated) Aug. 25, 27, 1944 (gage height, 1.08

feet).

Floods of Sept. 15, 1878, and July 16, 1916, reached stages of 37.4 and 35.7 feet,

respectively, at site and datum used by Geological Survey 1904-7, from reports of U. S.

Weather Bureau. 

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for period of no gage-height record, which are

 fair. Flow regulated by Claytor Reservoir (capacity, 224,000 acre-feet). Some addi- .

tional regulation at low flow by dam and power plant on Little River, half a mile above

mouth. 

Cooperation.- Records of contents of Claytor Reservoir furnished by Appalachian Electric

rower (Jo.

SCIOTO RIVER BASIN 287

Scioto River at Columbus, Ohio

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54'34", long. 83°00'33", at sewage-treatment 

works of city of Columbus, Franklin County, 0.4 mile downstream from bridge on Prank 

Road. Datum of gage is ,680.40 feet above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912.

Drainage area.- 1,624 square miles.

Records available.- April 1921 to September 1946.

Average discharge.- 25 years, 1,280 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 20,500 second-feet June 18 (gage height, 19.65 

reet); minimum, 55 second-feet Sept. 29 (gage height, 6.13 feet).

1921-46: Maximum discharge, 39,600 second-feet Mar. 21, 1927 (gage height, 24.7 

feet); minimum, 42 second-feet Sept. 6, 1930.

Maximum stage known, 25.9 feet Mar. 25, 1913 (discharge, 138,000 second-feet, 

estimated by Franklin County Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable with 

present gage heights because of subsequent channel improvement and levee construction.

Remarks.- Records good. Plow regulated by O'Shaughnessy and Griggs Reservoirs fop 

municipal supply of city of Columbus (see p. 291). Diversion for water supply made 

several miles above gage; sewage return flow normally is discharged at gage and is 

included in flow past gage.

WABASH RIVER BASIN 435

West Pork White River near Nora, Ind.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 39°54', long. 86°06', in sec. 20, T. 17 N., R. 4 E., 

at highway bridge, 2 miles east of Nora and 14 miles upstream from Pall Creek. Datum 

of gage is 710.94 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929 (levels by Corps of Engineers, 

War Department). Auxiliary wst>:--stage recorder at dam 3^ miles downstream, at 

different datum.

Drainage area.- 1,190 square miles.

Records avaiia'ble.- April 1930 to September 1946 in reports of Geological Survey. July 

iydb to September 1926 and October 1929 to March 1930 in reports of Indiana Department 

of Conservation.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1925-26, 1930-46), 973 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum recorded discharge during year, 7,270 second-feet Oct. 3 (gage height, 

iu.34 feet), but may have been higher during period of no gage-height record during 

December; minimum daily, 106 second-feet Sept. 1; minimum gage height, j.,S£ feet Sept.

1925-86, 1929-46: Maximum discharge, 32,400 second-feet May 19, 1943 (gage height, 

18.19 feet); minimum daily, 43 second-feet Sept. 29, 1941; minimum gage height, 1.20 

feet Sept. .1, 1936

Flood of Mar. 26, 1913, reached a stage of 22.4 feet, from floodmarks, determined by 

Indiana State Highway Commission.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect _r no gage-height record, 

wnicn are fair. Backwater from dam of Indianapolis Water Co., 3f miles below station, 

affects stage-discharge relation during some periods of low and medium flow; discharge 

computed by using fall as determined by auxiliary gage as a factor. Slight regulation 

at times during low flow by power plant near Noblesville.

Cooperation.- Gage-height record for auxiliary gage furnished by Indianapolis Water Co.

Highway 76 at Dover, Stewart County, 0.1 mile upstream from Dyer Creek, 0.6 mile 

upstream from Indian Creek, and 0.8 mile upstream from lock and dam D. Datura of gage 

is 324.25 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum. During periods of crest-wicket 

manipulation, staff gage above spillway at lock and dam D, at same datum. Auxiliary 

staff gage, 19.7 miles upstream, below spillway at lock and dam C. Datum of auxiliary gage is 324.30 feet above mean sea level, Sandy Hook datum.

Drainage area.- 16,530 square miles.

Kecords avalla'ble.- October 1937 to September 1946.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 168,000 second-feet Jan. 13, 14; maximum gage 

height, 45.22 feet Jan. 17; minimum daily discharge, 461 second-feet Oct. 31, caused 

by manipulation of wickets at navigation dams; minimum gage height observed, 7.22 

feet (upper lock D.gage) Sept. 4.

1937-46: Maximum discharge, 171,000 second-feet Feb. 16, 1939; maximum gage 

height, 45.88 feet Feb. 17, 1939; minimum daily discharge, 438 second-feet Oct. 24, 

25, 1940, caused by manipulation'of wickers at navigation dams; minimum gage height 

observed, that of Sept. 4, 1946.

1916-37: Maximum gage height observed, 56.8 feet Jan. 25, 1937, at lock D; 

minimum observed, 6.8 feet in September 1925 at lock D. Both extremes from unpublished 

records of Corps of Engineers, War Department.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of crest-wicket manipulation, which are 

rair. Lock D and auxiliary gages read four times daily. Some regulation by Dale 

Hollow and Great Falls Reservoirs (see p. 476).

Cooperation.- Water-stage recorder graph, auxiliary gage readings, record of wicket 

manipulation, level notes, and five discharge measurements furnished by Corps of 

Engineers, War Department.

Average discharge.- 17 years (1921-26, 1934-46), 155 second-feet (unadjusted).

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 2,810 second-feet Feb. 10 (gage height, 7.12

 feet); minimum, 24 second-feet Sept. 30 (gage height, 1.29 feet).

1920-26, 1934-46: Maximum discharge, 18,400"second-feet Aug. 13, 1940 (gage height, 

19.00 feet), by computation of flow over dam 3 miles above station; minimum, 1.1 secondfeet (regulated) Oct. 9, 14, 15, 1941; minimum daily, 1.2 second-feet (regulated) 

Oct. 14, 1941; minimum gage height, 0.65 foot July 17, 1936.

Maximum stage known, 21.5 feet in July 1916, from floodmarks. Flood of Aug. 16, 

1928, reached a stage of 18.74 feet, from floodmarks. Extremely high stages subject to 

backwater from French Broad River.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, or no gage-height 

record, which are fair. Occasional large diurnal fluctuation and regulation from Lake 

Craig, in recreation park 3 miles above station. City of Asheville diverts its watersupply above this station from Beetree Reservoir (capacity of 700,000,000 gallons) and 

North Fork Swannanoa River.

County. Datum of gage is 2,335.95 feet above mean sea level, datum of 1929, supplementary adjustment of 1936.

Drainage area.- 350 square miles.

Kecoras available.- July 1927 to September 1946.

Average aischarge.- 19 years, 659 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 13,600 second-feet Feb. 10 (gage height, 10.20 

FeeTTF minimum, 172 second-feet Sept. 2, 8 (gage height, 1.15 feet).

1927-46: Maximum discharge, 32,700 second-feet Aug. 30, 1940 (gage height, 15.82 

feet, from floodmark in gage house), from rating curve extended above 10,600 secondfeet on basis of slope-area determinations at gage heights 14.94 and 15.82 feet; 

minimum, 81 second-feet Sept. 30, 1941 (gage height, 0.82 foot).

Remarks.- Records excellent except those based on radio-gage readings, which are good, 

and those for periods of ice effect, which are fair. Slight regulation by small 

reservoirs for short periods at low flow.
