SLOPE DRAINAGE BASINS, 1929

AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

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

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the years ending September 30, 1929.

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 th«. 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 fO, 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 welb, 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 5,830 

points in the United States and also at many points in Air ska and 

the Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1929, 2,240 gaging stations were 

being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating

2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART I

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 country and 

will be made available in water-supply papers from tinn to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "ruE-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 p, fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average numbe" 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 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, is 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 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, 1928, and ending September 30, 1929. At the 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 s^ow or ice, or 

in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, r,nd this stored
EXPLANATION OF DATA 6

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, 1929, PART I

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. 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 discharge, 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 

unless 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 the 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," 20 per cent or more.
PUBLICATIONS t>

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 probableThe 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, 1 owever, 

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 areas of the 

United States are situated above most of the diversions from those 

streams, and the discharge recorded does not show the wate~ 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 tl at 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 result 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 I. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John Biver to York River).

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River 

to the Mississippi).

III. Ohio River Basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River Basin.

V. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado River Basin.

X. The Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California.
O SUEFACE WATEtf SUPPLY, 1929, PART I

PAET XII. North Pacific slope 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 Coluirbia River Basin.

8 SUBFACE WATEB SUPPLY, 1929, PART I

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 gr<ring 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 basinr, the numbers 

of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to 1929. 

The date for any particular station will, as a rule, be found in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. 

For example, data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area covered 

by Part III are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 

383, 403, 433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain recordr for the Ohio 

River Basin for those years.

in Mechanicville, Saratoga County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 4,500 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October, 1887, to September, 1929.

EXTREMES. Maximum mean daily discharge during year, 40,200 second-feet

months, from 10 to 15 per cent for low-water months, and about 10 per cent 

for the year. Flow partly regulated by storage. No correction is made 

for diversion through Glens Falls feeder into Champlain Canal. Records 

of discharge over spillway and through wheels furnished by We^t Virginia

130 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART I

MOHAWK RIVER NEAR LITTLE FALLS, BT. Y.

LOCATION, Water-stage recorder 1,800 feet downstream from Rocky Rift Dam, 

2 miles upstream from mouth of East Canada Creek and 4J4 miles southeast 

of Little Falls, Herkimer County. Zero of gage is 310.0 feet, Barge Canal 

datum.

DBAINAGE ABEA. 1,390 square miles.

RECOBDS AVAILABLE. October, 1927, to September, 1929.

EXTBEMES. Maximum discharge during year, 27,600 second-feet Mar. 15 (gage 

height, 16.4 feet); minimum mean daily discharge (estimated), 650 secondfeet Sept. 3.

1927-1929: Maximum and minimum discharge, same as above.

RBMABKS. Records good except those for periods of ice effect (Dec. 10-14, 21-28, 

Jan. 4, 5, and Jan. 24 to Feb. 26) and for estimated periods, which are fair. 

Water is diverted during navigation season from Blp-ck River through 

Forestport feeder, Black River Canal (flowing south), ard Lansing Kill into 

Delta Reservoir, and from West Canada Creek through Finemile feeder and 

Ninemile Creek to summit level of Barge Canal. A smr\l amount of water 

may also be received from Oswego drainage basin through summit level, 

although it is possible that the amount of water thus gained is about equal to 

the amount similarly lost from Mohawk Basin. At Rocky Rift Dam water 

is diverted during canal season into Barge Canal for lockage and power purposes at Lock 16 near St. Johnsville. Regulation caused by operation of 

power plants and locks and by storage in Delta and Hinckley Reservoirs.

132 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART I

MOHAWK RIVER AT COHOES, W. Y.

LOCATION. Water-stage recorder 50 feet below School Street plant of New York 

Power & Light Corporation in Cohoes, Albany County.

DRAINAGE AREA. 3,500 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. October, 1925, to September, 1929, at present location. 

From December, 1917, to July, 1925, at Crescent Dam, 2 miles upstream. 

From July to October, 1925, records of discharge were determined from gage 

heights above Cohoes Power & Light Corporation dam in conjunction with 

operating records at School Street plant. These records are comparable 

with records from present location.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 72,000 second-f^et Mar. 16 (gage 

height, 18.3 feet); minimum, 40 second-feet Sept. 8 (gage height, 4.10 feet). 

1925-1929: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 16, 1929; minimum, 22 

second-feet Oct. 2, 1927 (gage height, 3.83 feet).

REMARKS. Records excellent except those for estimated period? and for extremely 

low stages, which are good. Diversions at Crescent Di,m through Lock 

No. 6 for use in Barge Canal during the navigation season, and for municipal 

supply just above station, some of which is returned to river above measuring section. Considerable amount of water is received into Delta Reservoir 

from Black River Basin, through Black River Canal (flowing south) and 

Lansing Kill and, during navigation season, from Oswego River Basin through 

summit level of Barge Canal which partly compensate for diversions. Flow 

partly regulated by storage reservoirs above station. Diurnal fluctuation 

caused by operation of School Street plant.
