AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports representing results of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year 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 the Geo* 

logical 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 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have parried th<9 

following items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the United Stated 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, 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 Alaska and the 

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

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations* Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at

I
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART XI

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 time to time.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The volume of water flowing in a stream the "run-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 second-feet, 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, and acre-feet. The principal 

terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, second-feet 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 a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"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 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 k 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 jin common use are here denned:

"Stage-discharge relatioi^," an abbreviation for the term"relation 

-of gage height to discharge!." ;

"Control/' a term used to designate the natural 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 th^ preceding three months is stored; in the form of snow or ice, 

or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as Underground water, and this
EXPLANATION OF DATA 6

stored 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 reading 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 textboods 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 XI

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 waterstage 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 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 

permanence 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
PUBLICATIONS 9

accurate within 5 per cent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," 

within 15 per cent; and "poor," 20 per cent 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 run-off in inches may be subject to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noneontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information conkerning 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 hi niches" 

tire 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.

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.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated sections 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 

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 that 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 results 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:

PAKT I. North Atlantic slope basins (St. John River to York River).

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

	to the Mississippi).

III. Ohio River Basin.

IV. St. Lawrence Eiver Basin.

V. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi Eiver Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin.

VII. Lower-Mississippi River Basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

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 

1929. The data 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 from 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by Part III are published in Water-Supply Papers 283,

COOPERATION

Investigation of the water resources of California is being carried 

on by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the 

State in accordance with acts of the State legislature, approved 

March 16,1903, March 20, 1905, March 11,1907, and April 22, 1909, 

empowering the State authorities to enter into contracts with the 

Director of the United States Geological Survey for the purpose of 

making topographic maps, gaging streams, and surveying reservoir 

sites and canal sites for the conservation and utilization of the flood 

and storm waters of the State. The State funds for the work duringthe year 1929 were provided for in the State budget and the usual 

agreement was executed by B. B. Meek, director of public works, 

and Edward Hyatt, State engineer.

The entire expense of the stream-flow investigations in Tuolumne 

River Basin for the Hetch Hetchy project is paid by the city and 

county of San Francisco, through M. M. O'Shaughnessy, city engineer.

All stations in Los Angeles County are maintained in cooperation 

with the board of supervisors and the Department of Agriculture, 

represented by the Forest Service through JF. E. Bonner and E. W. 

Kramer, district engineers, and tne Weather Bureau through H. B. 

Hersey, meteorologist. The Forest Service pays the salary an4 expenses of one hydrographer detailed for field work. The Geological 

Survey supervises the work and compiles all stream-flow data for 

publication

The stations in Santa Ana Kiver Basin are maintained in cooperation with San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties through 

their boards of supervisors. Cooperation is also furnished by the 

Weather Bureau in maintaining precipitation stations.

Assistance in the maintenance of river-measurement stations was 

furnished by the Southern California Edison Co., San Joaquin Light & 

Power Corporation, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Snow Mountain 

Water & Power Co., Merced Irrigation District, Yosemite Power Co., 

Southern Sierras Power Co., East Bay Municipal Utility District, 

and other permittees and licensees of the Federal Power Commission.

Many complete records of run-off, gage-height records, and cUscharge measurements are furnished by Federal bureaus, private companies, and individuals who are interested in the water resources of 

California. This cooperation is acknowledged and explained in the 

descriptions that precede the records.

The work in Oregon is carried on under a cooperative agreement 

with the State through Rhea Luper, State engineer. Financial 

cooperation was furnished by The California Oregon Power Co.

DIVISION OF WORK

The data for stations in California were collected and prepared for 

publication under the direction of H. D. McGlashan, district engineer, 

assisted by F. C. Ebert, William Kessler, R. C. Briggs, Charles Leidl, 

O. J. Emerson, Jesse Arnold, Jarrett Oliver, H. C* Troxrfl, A. C. 

Swanson, C. D. Bue, C. R. Reed, and H. J. Tompkins.

The data for stations in Oregon and for stations on Klamath River 

And Fall Creek near Copco, Calif., were collected and prepared for 

publication under the direction of G. H. Canfield, district engineer, 

assisted by K. N. Phillips, B. S. Bames, A. H. Williams, H. M. Orem, 

and W. T. Miller, and by H. K. Smith and*A. I*, Crawford, hydrographers of the United States Bureau of Reclamation, except for 

stations in Goose Lake, Long Creek, Fourmile Lake, and Keene Creek 

basins, for which data, collected and computed by the State of Oregon 

under supervision of Rhea Luper, State engineer, were reviewed, 

checked, and prepared for publication by G. H. Canfield, district 

engineer, assisted by K. N. Phillips.

The records were reviewed and the manuscript assembled by Warren 

Withee.
