SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF PACIFIC SLOPE 

BASINS IN CALIFORNIA, 1935

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

flow made on streams In the United states during the year ending September 30, 1935. 

The work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies relating to Irrigation. 

In the execution of the work, measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,020 

points In the United states and also at many points In Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. 

In July 1935, 3,020 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and 

the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

other points.

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 water flowing In a channel when the cross-sectional area Is 1 

square foot and the 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 run-off Is 

distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off In Inchee" 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.

"Secorid-foot-day" Is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot foi 

24 hours.

"Stage-discharge relation" Is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage height 

to discharge."

"Control" Is a term used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the

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 gage heights and discharge 

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 gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on Plate 1.

9
10 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge 

measurements. The application of the dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally 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 usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope or other special methods.

The description of the station gives Information In regard to the location and type 

of gage, 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. Information under "Extremes" 

gives 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, and a,so 

the minimum discharge If useful; and the minimum gage height except when 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 represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise 

qualified.

The table of dally discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, 

the discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readIngs of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean daily gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, 

an Instrument for obtaining the mean dally 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 "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the discharge given In the table of dally discharge. The column 

headed "Maximum" gives the maximum dally 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 dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" Is the average flow In 

cubic feet per second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stagedischarge 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, In general, the dally records are accurate within 

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

percent or more.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing past the gage, but the figures showing discharge per square mile and depth

in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information concerning water diverted 

for irrigation or other use, or by inability to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and 

"run-off in inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining areas in which the annual 

rainfall is less than 20 inches.

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 water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations below 

the station must first be satisfied.

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, however, that the observations in each succeeding year may be 

expected to throw new light on data previously published, and that greater degrees of refinement in computations and records may be warranted with increased data and use of improved equipment.

In order to permit greater refinement in analysis and comparison of records for adjacent stations, the following changes in computation procedure were followed in preparing 

some of the records published in the series of reports for 1934 and all the records for 

1935: (a) Mean monthly discharge above 1,000 second-feet and monthly run-off above 

10,000 acre-feet are expressed to four significant figures instead of three significant 

figures, as formerly; (b) monthly run-off in acre-feet is computed from the total secondfoot-days for the month and not from the mean discharge for the month; (c) drainage areas 

above 1,000 square miles, if measured on topographic maps, or if otherwise warranted, are 

expressed to four significant figures instead of three as formerly.

PUBLICATIONS

Note.- The reports which contain records after 1901 are given in the table 

on page 14.

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 measurements11 

at the end of each report in the same relative order as the regular gaging stations. 

An index of the reports containing records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in 

Water-supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on 

surface-water supply published from 1899 to 1935. The data for any particular station 

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

was maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the area covered 

by part 3 are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 

473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years. Special 

papers containing compilation of records previously published and also records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers have been published for some States 

and drainage basins. For example, stream-flow records for the New-Kanawha River Basin 

in part 3 from 1895 to 1920 are contained in Water-supply Paper 536.

COOPERATION

In California the work was done under cooperative agreement with the State Department 

of Public Works, Earl Lee Kelly, director, and Edward Hyatt, state engineer. Work was 

also done under cooperative agreements with the East Bay Municipal Utility District; 

Stanford University; Santa Clara Valley Water Conservation District; San Bernardino, 

Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and ventura Counties; and the city of Santa Barbara. 

In Oregon the work was done under cooperative agreement with the State of Oregon, Chas. 

E. Stricklin, State engineer.

The entire expense of the stream-flow investigations in the Tuolumne River Basin for 

the Hetch Hetchy project and Alameda Creek, near Niles was paid by the city and county 

of San Francisco.

SAN GABRIEL RIVER BASIN 75

San Gabriel River near Azusa, Calif.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 34°9'30", long. 117°54'5", In NWi sec. 23,

 7. 1 N. R. 10 W., 1 mile above power house of city of Pasadena and 2 miles north

of Azusa.

Drainage area.- 214 square miles. 

Records available.- 1894 to September 1935. 

'Average discharge.- 39 years (1896-1935), 106 second-feet. Average combined discharge

 of river and diversions, corrected for storage and evaporation in Morris Reservoir,

40 years (1895-1935), 152 second-feet. 

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 507 second-feet Feb. 9 (gage height, 4.28

 feet); no flow for long periods.

1894-1935: Maximum discharge, 40,000 second-feet Jan. 18, 1916; no flow for 

several months each year. . , *. Remarks.- Records good. Some discharge measurements furnished by Los Angeles county

 PTooa Control District and Pasadena Water Department. During year run-off was completely regulated by releases from Morris Dam of Pasadena Water Department; capacity 

39,350 acre-feet. Azusa Canal (formerly power canal of Southern California Edison 

Co ) diverts above high-water line of Morris Reservoir at a point about 5 miles 

above station. Sum of discharge in river at gage, Azusa Canal, storage released to 

city of Pasadena, reservoir evaporation at Morris Dam, and percolation between 

Morris Dam and station (see next page) gi-ves total run-off comparable to combined 

discharge of San Gabriel River and Southern California Edison Co.'s canal as published 1894-1933.
