SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 37 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, cf streams, lakes, 

and reservoirs in the United States during the 1961-65 water years. Since 1888, when the U.S. Geological Survey first 

studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have been obtained at more than 17,500 gaging 

stations In the 50 States. On September 30,1965, the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 

9,100 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for low flow or for floodflow have been operated at many other points. 

The records for the 1961-65 water years at gaging stations and partial-record stations in the Missouri River basin 

below Nebraska City, Nebraska are given in this report.

COOPERATION

Many State, municipal, and private organizations have cooperated with the Geological Survey In rt is work by either 

furnishing or helping to collect data. Organizations that supplied data are acknowledged in station descriptions, and 

organizations that assisted in the collection of data through cooperative agreements with the Survey are as follows:

Colorado--Office of the State Engineer.

Iowa--lowa Geological Survey; Iowa State Highway Commission; and Iowa Natural Resources Council.

Kansas--Kansas Water Resources Board; State Highway Commission of Kansas; and Kansas Board of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources.

Missouri--Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources; Missouri State Highway ComTiission; and University of Missouri, Board of Curators.

2' SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 6, VOLUME 4

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined as follows:

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations of gage 

height or discharge are obtained. When used in connection with a discharge record, the term Is applie-1 herein only to 

those gaging stations where a continuous record of discharge is obtained.

Hydrologic bench-mark station is one that provides hydrologic data for a basin in which the hyd-ologlc regimes 

will likely be governed solely by natural conditions. Data collected at a bench-mark station may be i-sed to separate 

effects of natural from manmade changes in other basins which have been developed and in which the physiography, 

climate, and geology are similar to those in the undeveloped bench-mark basin.

Partial-record station Is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected systenatically over a 

period of years for use In hydrologic analyses.

Discharge is the volume of water in a stream which passes a given point in a unit of time.

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge representing a volume of 1 cubic foot passing a given point 

during 1 second and is equivalent to 7.48 gallons per second or 448.8 gallons per minute.

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of water floving per second 

from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff Is distributed uniformly in time and area.

Runoff In inches (in.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the runoff for a given 

time period were uniformly distributed on it.

Acre-foot (ac-ft) Is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 

cubic feet or 325,851 gallons.

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second 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 the relation between gage height (the stage of the stream in relation to a reference gage) 

and the amount of water flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stage-discharge relat'on at the gage. 

This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, an artificial structure, or a uniform cross section over a 

long reach of the channel.

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise Indicated, volume is computed on the basis of 

a level pool and does not include bank storage.

Drainage area of a stream above a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, enclosed by a 

topographic divide from which direct surface runoff from precipitation normally drains by gravity into the river above 

the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing area, within 

the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in reference to previously published reports. 

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBER

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the order of listing gaging - 

station records is in a downstream direction along the main stem. All stations on a tributary entering above a mainstem station are listed before that station. A station on a tributary that enters between two main-s~em stations is
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

listed between them. A similar order Is followed In listing stations on first rank, second rank, and other ranks of 

tributaries. The rank of any tributary on which a gaging station is situated with respect to the stream to which It Is 

immediately tributary Is Indicated by an Indention In the listing of gaging stations In the table of contents of this 

report. Each Indention represents one rank. This downstream order and system of indention show which gaging stations 

are on tributaries between any two stations and the rank of the tributary on which each gaging station Is situated.

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all stations on the main stem from 

headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost tributary to the main stem from the tributary's source 

to mouth, and then all stations from source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to the tributary.

As an added means of Identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has been assigned a number. 

Numbers have been assigned in the same downstream order as described In this report. In assigning station numbers, 

no distinction Is made between partial-record stations and regular gaging stations; the station nurrber for a partialrecord station Indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types of stations. Gaps are left In the 

numbers to allow for new stations that may be established; hence the numbers are not consecut'^e. The complete 

8-dlglt number for each station, such as 06-8655.00, includes the part number "06" plus a 6-dlflt number. In this 

report the nonessential zeros are not shown. For example, the complete number 06-8655.00 will appear as 6-8655, just 

to the left of the station name.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements of discharge. In addition, 

observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, weather records, and other information are used as 

needed to supplement base data in determining the daily flow. Records of stage are obtained from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous graph of fluctuations (for digital recorders, a tape punched at 15-, 30-, or 60-minute 

Intervals) or from direct readings on a nonrecordlng gage. Measurements of discharge are made wlrh a current meter 

by the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These 

methods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and In U.S. Geological Survey Techniques o* Water Resources 

Investigations, book 3, chapter A6.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge relation curves defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the rating curves are necessary to define the extremes of discharge, they are 

made on the basis of Indirect measurements of peak discharge, (such as slope-area or contracted-opening measurements, computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), velocity-area studies, and logarithmic plotting. 

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 discharges are computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to charge 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 on notes by 

engineers and observers are used In applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for 

a station Is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, the daily mean discharge 

Is computed by what Is basically the shifting-control method.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater from reservoirs, tributary streams, 

or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method In which the slope or fall In a reach of the stream is 

a factor in determining discharge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall Is obtained by means of an 

aujdliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by 

rapid change in stage. If so, the rate of change in stage Is used as a factor in determining discharge.

At most gaging stations In the northern part of the United States and at some in the mountainous regions of other 

parts of the country the stage-discharge relation Is affected by Ice during the winter, and It becomes Impossible to 

compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of Ice effect is computed or the basis of gageheight record and occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available Information on 

temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and hydrologists, and comparable records of discharge for other 

stations In the same or nearby basins.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 6, VOLUME 4

For some gaging stations there are periods when no gage-height record is obtained or the recorded gage height is so 

faulty that it cannot be used to compute the daily discharge. This happens when the recorder stops or otherwise fails 

to operate properly, intakes are plugged, float is frozen in the well, or for various other reasons. For such periods 

the daily discharges are estimated on the basis of recorded range in stage, adjoining good record, discharge measurements, weather records, and comparison with other station records from the same or nearby basins.

The data in this report generally comprise a description of the station, and tables showing the daily discharge and 

monthly and yearly discharges of the stream. Records are published on a water year basis which begins on October 1 

and ends on September 30.

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, type and history of gages, average 

discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and notations of revisions of the previously published record. The 

location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River mileage, 

given under "Location" for some stations, is that determined and used by the Corps of Engineers unless otherwise 

noted. Under "Records available" are given the periods for which there are published records generally equivalent to 

those at present site. Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently in use and the datum of the present gage above 

mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and daturas of previous gages used during the period 

of records available. The reference to "datum of 1929" and adjustments of other years are to the datum and adjustments of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Under "Average discharge" is given the average discharge for the number 

of years indicated. It is not given for stations having fewer than five complete years of record or for stations where 

changes in water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. Under "Extremes" 

are given, usually in tabular form, the maximum instantaneous discharge and gage height for the current water years 

(1961-65); the minimum instantaneous discharge if there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge if there 

is extensive regulation (also the minimum instantaneous discharge if It is abnormally low); and the minimum gage 

height if it is also abnormally low. For stations for which peak discharges are published, all independent peaks above 

the selected base and the time of occurrence and corresponding gage heights are published in the first table under 

"Extremes." The base discharge, which is given in parentheses in the table heading, Is selected so that an average of 

about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak discharges are not published for any canals, ditches drains, or for 

any stream for which the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. Time of day is expressed in 24-hour local 

standard time; for example, 12:30 a.m. is 0030, 1:30 p.m. is 1330. The minimums for these stations are published in a 

separate table following the table of peaks. In the paragraph following the current data, the data given are for the periods 

of record within the calendar year dates in the heading (not necessarily those for the complete years indicated by the 

heading dates). Reliable information concerning major floods that have occurred outside the period of record are given 

in the last paragraph under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge correspords to the crest 

stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder (graphic or digital), a crest-stage gage, or a nonrecording gage read 

at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage height did not occur at the same time as the maximum discharge, it is 

given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions which affect the natural flow at 

the gaging station is given under "Remarks."

P reviously published records of some stations have been found to be in error on the basis of data or information later 

obtained. Revisions of such reports are usually published along with the current records in one of the annual or compilation reports. In order to make it easier to find such revised records, a paragraph headed "Revisions (water years)" 

has been added to the description of all stations for which revised records have been published. Listed therein are all 

the reports in which revisions have been published, each followed by the water years for which figures are revised 

In that report. In listing the water years only one number is given; for Instance, 1933 stands for the water year 

October 1, 1932, to September 30, 1933. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are concerned in the revision, the fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous 

maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" that only the Instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure was first published 

is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches 

are published, a revision of the drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage 

area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches resulting from a revision of the 

drainage area only are usually not published in the annual series of reports.

The daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the daily mean gage height unless there are large or rapid 

changes in the discharge during a day. For days having large or rapid changes, discharge for the day is computed by
ACCURACY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 5

averaging the mean discharge for several parts of the day. For digital recorders, the daily mean discharge is always 

the average of the discharges at each punched reading. For stations equipped with non-recording gages, the daily 

discharge corresponds to once-daily readings of the gage or to the mean of twice-daily readings; but for periods of 

rapidly changing stage, the discharge is determined from gage-height graph based on gage readings.

In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "TOTAL" gives the sum of the daily figures; it is 

the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "MEAN" gives the average flow in cubic feet per second during 

the month. On the line headed "MAX" the figures are the maximum daily discharges for the months, not the momentary 

maximum discharges. Likewise, the line headed "M1N" are the minimum daily discharges for the ironths. Discharge 

for the month may be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "CFSM"), or in inches (line 

headed "IN"), or in acre-feet (line headed "AC-FT"). Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in 

inches are omitted if the drainage area includes large noncontributing areas, or if the average annua 1 rainfall over the 

drainage basin is usually less than 20 inches, or if the flow is appreciably affected by regulation by upstream reservoirs.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum da; ly discharges for 

the calendar and water years; likewise, the minimums are the minimum daily discharges.

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge are introduced by the word "NOTE." Footnotes are used to indicate periods 

for which the discharge is computed or estimated by special methods because of no gage-height record, backwater from 

various sources, or other unusual conditions. Periods of no gage-height record are indicated if the pe'iod is continuous 

for a month or more or includes themaximum discharge for the year. Periods of backwater from an unusual source, of 

indefinite stage-discharge relation, or of any other unusual condition at the gage site are indicated only if they are a 

month or more in length and the accuracy of the records is affected. Days on which the stage-discharge relation is 

affected by ice are not indicated. The methods used in computing discharge for various unusual conditions have been 

explained in preceding paragraphs.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description o' the station and a 

monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs a table showing daily contents or stage is given. 

A skeleton table of capacity at given stages is published for all reservoirs for which records are published on a daily 

basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are given.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation or, if the 

control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records.

The station description under "Remarks" states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" means that about 

"5 percent of the daily discharges arewithinS percent; "good", within 10 percent; and "fair" within 15 percent. "Poor" 

means that daily discharges have less than "fair" accuracy.

In earlier reports the figures of daily mean discharge, computed manually, were usually rounded to tenths below 

10 cfs, but the rounding rules were not rigid; some discharges were given to hundredths if the accuracy was sufficiently 

good and others were rounded to whole numbers if the accuracy was poor. In this report, however, most of the tables 

of daily mean discharge are tabulated by a computer which rounds the figures solely on basis of th3 magnitude of the 

discharge. Therefore, zeros to the right of the decimal point should not be construed to indicate an accuracy greater 

than is stated in the "Remarks" paragraph.

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from natural runoff, owing to 

diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other 

factors. For such stations, figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff in inches are not published 

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

incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir 

contents, unless it is so stated. Even at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff 

may occur if adjustments or losses are large in comparison with the observed discharge.
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 6, VOLUME 4

OTHER DATA AVAILABLE

Data collected at partial-record stations are given at the end of this report. Data for partial-record stations are 

presented in two tables. The first is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the 

second is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Occasionally, a series of discharge 

measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the seepage gains or losses along a reach of a stream 

or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an area. Such measurements are given in special tab'es following the 

tables of partial-record stations.

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations is on ff e in the district 

offices, such as discharge measurements, gage-height records, and rating tables. Many gaging-stati-m records have 

been analyzed to give several statistical summaries, mainly: (1) the number of days in each year that the daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); (2) the lowest mean discharge for selected nurrbers of consecutive days in each year; and (3) the highest mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive da*rs in each year.

At or near some gaging stations, water-quality records also are collected. Data are obtained on the chemical quality 

of the stream water, on water temperature, on suspended-sediment concentration, and on the particle-size distribution 

of suspended sediment and bed material. Under "Remarks" of the station description, reference is made to waterquality records collected on a regular basis for that station. Results of the data collected are published in water-supply 

papers entitled "Quality of Surface Waters of the United States," and in annual reports issued by States beginning with 

the 1961 water year. These annual reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for (state). Part 2, Water Quality 

Records." Information on the availability of electronic computer analyses, unpublished data, or quality of water 

records may be obtained from the district offices listed on page 1.

PUBLICATIONS

Through September 30, 1960, the records of discharge and stage of streams and contents and s'age of lakes or 

reservoirs were published in an annual series of U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers entitled "Surface Water 

Supply of the United States." Prior to 1951, there were 14 volumes in the series; one for each of the 14 parts whose 

boundaries coincided with certain natural drainage lines within the conterminous United States. Fro-n 1951 to 1960, 

there were 20 volumes in the series, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii.

This report marks the beginning of a new series of water-supply papers to be published on a 5-y?ar basis. This 

series covers the 5-year period October 1, 1960, to September 30, 1965, To meet interim requirements, streamflow 

and related data have been released by the Geological Survey in annual reports, beginning with the 1961 water year, by 

State. These reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for (state), Part 1. Surface Water Records." Distribution of

Records for the area covered by this report have been compiled through September 1950 and for the period October 

1950 to September 1960 and published in Water-Supply Papers 1310 and 1730, respectively. These reports contain a 

summary of monthly and annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records not contained 

in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where warranted. Estimates 

of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever practical.

The reports listed in theforegoing tables contain the customary records of discharge collected during the systematic 

operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods 

has been included in special reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these 

special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologlc information and analyses and compilations of data relating to 

earlier notable floods. The following list gives the numbers and titles of these reports:

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Records of discharge have been collected by other agencies at numerous sites throughout the United States that 

are not published by the Geological Survey. The Office of Water Data Coordination, Water Resources Division, U.S. 

Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. 20242, maintains an index of such sites. Information on records available at 

specific sites can be obtained upon request.

1960-65: Maximum discharge, 20,500 cfs Mar. 1, 1965 (gage height, 20.43 ft), fnm rating 

curve extended above 8,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum daily, 7.0 cfs Dec. 17-23, 1963.

Greatest flood known occurred July 2, 1959. Two discharge measurements were mad 1:. A discharge of 51,000 cfs was determined at site 3 miles upstream on basis of current-meter observations near peak flow and computation of flow-over-embankment; and a discharge of 34,200 cfs was 

determined at site 2 miles downstream on basis of contracted-opening and flow-over-embankment 

measurement of peak flow (Corps of Engineers).

Remarks. Records good except those above 4,000 cfs and those for winter periods, which are poor.

6-8109. Brownell Creek subwatershed No. 1A near Syracuse, Nebr.

Location.--Lat 40°40'16", long 96°07'31", in SEiSEi see.12, T 9 N., R.ll E., on detention dam on 

south branch of drainage a quarter of a mile north of State Highway 2 and 2| miles east of SyraDralnage area.--0.19 sq mi.

Records available. April 1955 to September 1965.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and corrugated metal pipe drop inlet control and sodded overflow spillway. Datum of gage is 1,133.00 ft above mean sea level (levels by Soil Conservation Service).

Average discharge.--10 years, 0.048 cfs (34.8 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum outflow and maximum inflow (average for 15-minute interval) for the water years 

1955-65 are contained in the following table:

1955-65: Maximum outflow, 280 cfs May 18, 1959 (gage height, 19.27 ft); no flow for many days 

in each year; maximum inflow, 864 cfs (average for 15-minute interval) May 18, 1959, computed 

from outflow and change in reservoir contents. 

Remarks. Records fair except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Peak 

 inflow rates are determined for short intervals of time on basis of outflow and charge in reservoir contents. Crest of metal pipe drop inlet was at gage height 16.35 ft when installed and levels of February 1962 Indicate it had settled and is now at gage height 16.31 ft. Cr«st of emergency spillway is at gage height 19.0 ft. No adjustment made to maximum Inflow discharges for 

rainfall on reservoir during time interval of peak inflow. Adequate rainfall data rot available. 

Records of chemical analyses and fluvial sediments for the water years 1955-65 are published in 

reports of the Geological Survey.

Cooperation. Reservoir capacity tables furnished by Soil Conservation Service.

1954-65: Maximum outflow, 31.5 cfs June 24, 1955 (gage height, 7.74 ft); no flow for many days 

in each year; maximum inflow, 720 cfs (average for 5-minute interval) June 24, 1955, computed from 

outflow and change in reservoir contents.

Remarks.--Records for water years 1955-65 good except those below 1.0 cfs, which are fair, and those 

for periods of no gage-height record or backwater from ice or debris, which are poor. Peak inflow 

rates are determined for short intervals of time on basis of outflow and change in reservoir contents. Records of daily outflow from reservoir determined from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. Reservoir is formed by earth dam; dam completed and storage began in December 

1954. Outlet structure is a concrete drop inlet 2.0 by 2.7 ft with headwall, drained by an 

18-inch diameter discharge tube. Top of drop inlet is at gage height 1.10 ft. The d^op inlet was 

built with small notches at junction of the headwall with the right and left walls of drop structure. Point of zero flow through these notches is at gage height 0.98 ft. Crest of emergency 

spillway is at gage height 11.0 ft. No adjustment made to maximum inflow discharges for rainfall 

on reservoir during time interval of peak inflow. Adequate rainfall data not available. Records 

of chemical analyses and fluvial sediments for the water years 1955-65 are published in reports of 

the Geological Survey.

measurement of peak flow, no flow for some periods in most years.

Remarks. Records poor prior to October 1964 and good thereafter. Natural flow affected by ground -

 water withdrawals and diversions for irrigation of about 1,500 acres in Colorado and by return 

flow from Pioneer Canal.

curve extended above 7,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak flow; no flow at times

Flood of July 13, 1951, was greatest known since at least 1903 and exceeded the flood of MayJune 1903 by about a foot, from Information by local residents.

Remarks. Records fair except those for winter periods, which are poor. Some diurnal fluctuation 

caused by powerplants above station. Diversions above station for irrigation. Plow partially 

regulated by Wilson Reservoir (see station 6-8681) beginning Dec. 29, 1964. Records of chemical 

analyses for the water years 1962-65 and suspended-sediment loads and water temperatures for the 

water years 1961-65 are published In reports of the Geological Survey.

Revisions [water years). WSP 806: Drainage area. WSP 856: 1931. WSP 1310: 1926-28(M), 1935(M),

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS V4

As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the 

number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects 

limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data 

are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses , the site 

at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at thsse partialrecord stations are usable in low-flow or flood-flow analyses, depending on the type of data collected.

Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table 

of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the second is a table of annual 

maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations.

Low-flow partial-record stations

Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partial-record 

stations are given in the following table. Most of these measurements were made during psriods of 

base flow when streamflow is primarily from ground-water storage. These measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby 

will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality

768 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS 

Crest-stage partial-record stations

The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage 

gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A 

stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect 

measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, 

or local inquiry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on some 

lower floods may have been obtained but is not published herein. The years given ir the period of 

record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.

SOUTH FORK SOLOMON RIVER SEEPAGE INVESTIGATIONS

During water years 1961-65, series of discharge measurements were made on South Fork Solomon 

River and tributaries in Kansas, from gaging station 6-8732 to 6-8740.

Water is released from Webster Reservoir for irrigation purposes and flows in thp South Fork 

Solomon River to the Woodston Diversion Dam about 1 mile upstream from Woods ton. From here water 

is diverted into an irrigation canal that follows the foot of the north valley wall to a point 

about 6 miles east of Osborne. The seepage investigations have been run on two reaches. The 

shorter reach from Webster Dam to Woodston in Rooks County has been run to study water gains and 

losses. The flow was also measured at a point about 4 miles east of Alton in Osborre County. The 

longer reach from Webster Dam to Osborne in Rooks and Osborne Counties has been run to study water 

gains and losses from Webster Reservoir to the Woodston Diversion Dam, and also to study return 

irrigation seepage between Woodston and Osborne. The river valley In the reaches is about 1 to 

2 miles wide with a valley length of about 18 miles from Webster Dam to Woodston and about 41 miles 

from Webster Dam to Osborne. The river channel meanders gently with a channel length of about 

28 miles from Webster Dam to Woodston and about 64 miles from Webster Dam to Osborne.

The following Investigations were conducted during water years 1961-65: Oct. 18, 1960 (10 days 

after outflow from Webster Reservoir was discontinued) , measurements were adjusted slightly to show 

mean daily discharge; Oct. 5, 1961 (9 days after outflow from Webster Reservoir was discontinued); 

Oct. 16, 1962 (10 days after outflow from Webster Reservoir was discontinued); Oct. 22, 1963 (many 

days after outflow from Webster Reservoir was discontinued); and Oct. 13, 1964 (13 days after outflow 

from Webster Reservoir was discontinued). Transpiration had slackened and no frost had occurred 

prior to all investigations except that for Oct. 13, 1964, when only a slight frost had occurred but 

daytime temperatures were still mild.

794 SOLDIER CREEK SEEPAGE INVESTIGATIONS

On Nov. 7, 1963, and July 22, 1964, series of discharge measurements were made on Soldier Creek 

and tributaries in Kansas (Nemaha, Jackson, and Shawnee Counties) from gaging station 6-3891 to a 

point below station 6-8895. The river valley in the reach is about 48 miles long. In the upper 

reach the valley is very narrow, increasing to about 1 mile wide at the gage at river mile 56.8, 

and from this point to mouth the width of the valley varies from 1 to 2 miles.

Although transpiration had slackened by Nov. 7, 1963, only one killing frost had occurred. At 

the time of the investigation of July 21, 1964, the stream had a high base-flow discharge owing to 

heavy rains two weeks prior to the study. Evapotranspiration was a large unknown factor when the 

temperature reached 103°F.
