SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE (BEAT BASIN, 1942

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, 1942. 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 9,400 gaging stations 

In the United States and also at many gaging stations in Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1942, 

4,970 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made 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 on page 11.

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 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 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 the gage. This feature may be a natural section, a reach 

of the channel, or an artificial structure.

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
2 EXPLANATION OF DATA

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 on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge measurements. The application of the dally 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 nean 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 then 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 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 daily 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 

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 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 stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 square miles or If the peak 

discharges usually exceed the corresponding mean discharges for the day by less than 10 

percent.

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 flashy floods 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. 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.

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 and not the momentary discharge when the 

water surface was at crest stage. Likewise,in the column headed "Minimum" the quantity 

given Is the minimm 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.

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. This made February 9 a 23-hour day. Time prior to 2 a.m. 

February 9 as given herein refers to standard time; time after 2 a.m. February 9 refers 

to war time. To convert war time to standard time, subtract 1 hour.

Records of dally discharge prior to February 9, 1942, published herein have been confuted 

on the basis of standard time. Records subsequent to that date have been computed on the
4 TIME BASIS

basis of war time. The discharge given for February 9 Is the mean for 23 hours. The 

mean discharge and runoff for the month of February have been computed from the total 

second-foot-clays for the month without adjustment for the fact that February 9 was a 

23-hour day. The small error resulting from this procedure has been disregarded.

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 dally records are accurate wittiln 

5 percent; "good," within 10 percent; "fair," within 15 percent; and "poor," within 20 or 

a higher percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff are, In 

general, more accurate than the daily 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 

satisfactory adjustments can be made for changes in contents of reservoirs or for other 

changes incident to use and control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and runoff 

In Inches are also omitted if the drainage area includes large noncontributing 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 satisfied.

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

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

of the variation fn 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.

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 Indsx 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. 7), 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

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 

1941 to September 1942 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 on many canals and ditches and occasional records on 

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.

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), K. D. McGlashan; In Idaho (except for stations 

on Bear River), T. R. Newell; In Oregon, G. K. Canfleld, the work being done in collaboration with C. E. Strlcklin, State engineer; In Utah and Nevada and' for stations In 

Walker Lake and Carson River Basins In California and on Bear River In Idaho, A. B. Purton 

prior to November 30, 1942, and M. T. Wilson, acting, after that date; in Wyoming, 

Robert Follansbee.

The records were reviewed and the manuscript prepared for publication-under the direction of B. J. Peterson, engineer In charge, and J. W. Gambrell, assistant engineer, sectior

GAGING-STATION EECOTOS 

GREAT SALT LAKE BASIN

13

Gages on Great Salt Lake, Utah

Location.- Water-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. 112°36', at Midlake, 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 Midlake 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 1942 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, 4,196.6 feet June 1 at Midlake gage; minimum, 

4,194.0 feet Oct. 1 at both gages.

1851-1942: 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 

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

elevations given for the 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.

3.85 feet), from rating curve extended above 50 second-feet; practically no flow at 

times July 12-14, 1941.

Revisions: The maximum discharge for the water year 1941, given above, supersedes 

figure published in Water-supply Paper 930. The maximum discharge for the water 

year 1940 has been revised to. 150 second-feet, superseding figure published in WaterSupply Paper 900.

RBmarks.- Records good except those below 2 second-feet, which are fair, and those for 

periods of ice effect and no gage-height record, which are poor. Many Irrigation 

diversions from stream and tributaries above station; none below. A substantial 

check dam has been constructed 0.5 mile above station which is used to irrigate 

meadows above by flooding. During periods of operation, effects of check-dam operation are pronounced.

ditch. November 1912 to September 1921, at site half a mile upstream, above Mill Creek. 

Records of yearly runoff at these sites practically equivalent.

Average discharge.- 32 years (1905-7, 1909-21, 1924-42), 130 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 762 second-feet May 26 (gage height, 3.86 feet); 

minimum, 4.5 second-feet (regulated) Nov. 25 (gage height, 1.08 feet); minimum dally 

discharge, 30 second-feet Oct. 1, Sept. 24-30.

1905-07, 1909-21, 1924-42: Maximum discharge, 4,000 second-feet Nov. 23, 1909 (gage 

height, 9.40 feet, site and datum then in use), from rating curve extended above 900 

second-feet; no flow part of Dec. 7, 1927, Dec. 12, 1932 (frozen); minimum dally discharge not determined.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, which are poor. Low-water 

now partly regulated by power plant above station. About 160 acres Is irrigated 

above station.
