SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF THE GREAT BASIN, 1939

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, 1939. The work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies 

relating to Irrigation. Measurements of flow of streams and measurements of stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs have been made at about 8,240 gaging stations In the United 

States and also at many gaging stations In Alaska and Hawaii. In July 1939, 4,160 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. 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.

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 wate1- 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 Its 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 quanity of water required to 

cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term Is commonly used In connection w^lth 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 run-off of 0.0372 Inch from one square mile.

"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 that determines the stage-discharge relation at the 

gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, nnasurements of 

discharge, and general Information used to supplement the gage heights 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-etage 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. Gaging station structures are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from tin discharge measurements. The application of the mean dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

mean daily discharge, from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge are computed.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by this report ueually 

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 the shifting-control method, the slope method, or other special methods.

The description of the station gives the type of gage, Its latitude aid longitude determined from the beet available maps, and information In regard to diversions that 

decrease tlae 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 etatlons 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 

diecharge if there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if useful); and the 

minimum gage height (except when it is of no importance). Unlese otherwiee qualified, the 

maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage, obtained by use of a water-stage recorder 

or a nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the minimum represents the 

lowest discharge, unless otherwise qualified. The peak discharge for th3 year with the 

time of its occurrence is given below the table of monthly discharge for some stations. 

Selected lower peaks are also given If the peak discharge exceeded the mean discharge for 

that day by more than 10 percent. This supplementary information is generally not given 

for stations having drainage areas of less than 10 square miles or more than 10,000 equare 

mllee.

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

discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily readings of the gag-3 or the mean 

of twice-daily readings. For flashy floods the mean dally discharge is determined from 

gage-height graphs based on gage readings made once or twice daily or of;ener, 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 mean dally gage height. For stations subject to su^h fluctuation the 

mean daily gage height may not indicate the true mean daily 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 daily discharge from a continuous gageheight 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 figures for that month given In the table of daily 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

GAGING-STATION STRUCTURES.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

given is the minimum dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" gives 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 on (1) the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) 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 daily records are accurate within 5 

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

higher percent.

Yield indicated by monthly means at some stations may vary widely from natural yield, 

owing to diversions, amount consumed, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in 

evaporation due to artificial causes, or other factors. For such stations figures of 

"second-feet per square mile" and "run-off In inches" are not published unless reservoir 

records are included indicating the extent of the regulation, or satisfactory adjustments 

can be made for changes in contents of reservoirs or for other changes incid3nt to use and 

control. Figures of second-feet per square mile and run-off 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, so that 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 of 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 the increase in data and the use of improved 

equipment.

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

the papers on surface water supply published from 1899 to 1939. 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, the data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by part 3 are published In Water-Supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 403, 433, 

453, 473, and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

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 index of 

the records obtained prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

»Records prior to 1913 published In water-supply papers of Geological Survey; those prior to 1930 

published In reports of Salt Lake City; those after 1930 not published.

Hote.- Records of discharge were also collected for many canals and ditches, and miscellaneous 

and fragmentary records for several natural streams. These records are published in the reports of 

the projects and of the water commissioners for the following river basins: Bear, Beaver, Carson, 

Hunboldt, Jordan, Ogden, Provo, Spanish Fork, Sevler, Truokee, Walker, and Weber.

12 GAGING-STATION RECORDS 

GREAT SALT LAKE BASIN

Gages on Great Salt Lake, Utah

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°44'15", long. 112°12'30", in NWf sec. 17, T. 1 

 S., R" 3 W , at Salt Lake County Boat Harbor, on southeast shore or Ifke, 17 miles 

west or Salt Lake City, Utah; and staff gage, lat. 40°13', long. 112°36', at Midlake, 

on Lucln cut-off of Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles west of Ogden, Weber County, 

Utah. Datum of Boat Harbor gags is 4,186.85 feet above mean sea level; datum of 

Midlake gage is 4,198.0 fset above mean sea level. Prior to October 193S staff gage 

used at Saltair, 3 miles northeast of Boat Harbor gage, and datum 10 feet highsr.

Records available.- September 1875 to December 1899, March to July 1904, and October 1912 

to September 1939 in reports of Geological Survey. July 1903 to December 1934, in reports of U. S. Weather Bureau. Fluctuations of the lake from 1851 to 1940 are shown 

in Plate 2, page 124.

Extremes.- Maximum elevation during year, 4,196.5 feet May 1 at Midlake gage; minimum, 

4,194.79 feet Sept. 15 at Boat Harbor gage.

1851-1939: Maximum elevation, 4,211.6 feet in 1873, computed from traditional 

data by E. C. La Rue (see Water-supply Paper 517, p. 16), superseding information 

published in previous water-supply papers; minimum, 4,193.75 feet Nov. 15, 1935, 3t 

Saltair gage.

Remarks.- Apparent Inconsistencies in readings are probably due largely to the effect of 

-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 gageheight graph of several days preceding and following 12:01 a.m. for tie 1st and 15th 

of each month. Readings on Midlake gage furnished by Southern Pacific Railroad.

SEVIER LAKE .BASIN 61

Sevler River near Sigurd, Utah 

(Formerly published as Sevier River near Vermilion, Utah)

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 38°52', long. 111°57', in SWi sec. 19, T. 22 S., R. 

1 W., 200 feet downstream from bridge, half a mile downstream from Rockyf3rd Dam, 2 

miles northeast of Sigurd (Vermilion), and 5 miles upstream from Lost Cresk.

Drainage area.- 3,340 square miles.

Records available.- July to September 1912, July 1914 to September 1939.

Average discharge.- 25 years (1914-39), 116 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 372 second-feet Oct. 28 (gage height, 2.82 feet); 

practically no flow May 13, 14, when reservoir gates were closed.

1914-39: Maximum discharge, 2,400 second-feet May 30, 1922 (gage height, about 8.1 

feet, former datum), from rating curve extended above 600 second-feet; practically no 

flow (seepage only) when Rockyford gates are closed.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of missing gage heights, Dec. 24 to Jan. 7, 

which were computed on basis of records for station near Gumison and are fair. Entire 

flow usually diverted during low-water season; flow past station at such a time represents seepage and return flow from canals. Flow also regulated by dams and reservoirs 

above station.

100 HUMBOLDT RIVER BASIN

Humboldt River near Rye Patch, Nev.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 40°27'25", long. 118°18'20", in NEfNEi sec. 19, T.

 30 N., R. 33 E., 5,000 feet downstream from Rye Patch Dam and 1 mile ncrthwest of Rye 

Patch.

Drainage area.- 13,700 square miles.

Records available.- October 1935 to September 1939. January 1896 to Deceirber 1909, Septem-

 ber 1910 to September 1922, and September 1924 to September 1932 (fragmentary) at site 

near Oreana, 7 miles downstream}- records practically equivalent.

Average discharge.- 27 years (1899-1909, 1910-16, 1917-22, 1930-32, 1935-39), 204 secondfeet.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 491 second-feet Apr. 29-3C; no flow Oct.

 7-18, Oct. 30 to Nov. 4, Nov. 18 to Mar. 24.

1896-1922 1924-32, 1935-39: Maximum discharge, 3,050 second-feet ray 12, 1897 

(gage height, 12.0 feet, former site); no flow during some periods in 1905, 1915, 1918- 

20, 1931-32, 1935-39.

Remarks.- Records good. Because of unstable conditions caused by backwater from aquatic 

growth at gaging station, flow was computed from gate openings at dam, 5,000 feet upstream, by applying a coefficient determined from current-meter measurements to the 

theoretical discharge. Plow completely regulated by Rye Patch Reservoir (capacity, 

179,000 acre-feet), 5,000 feet upstream, and affected also by many diversions above station for Irrigation and by storage in Taylor-Pitt Reservoirs. Records of dally discharge furnished by Bureau of Reclamation.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1938 to September 1959

122 ALVORD LAKE BASIN

Trout Creek near Denio, Oreg.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 42°10', long. 118°28', in SWi sec. 26, T. 39 S., R. 

36 L'., 0.4 mile upstream from bridge at mouth of canyon, 5 miles east of Trout Creek 

ranch, and 14 miles northeast of Denio. Zero of gage is 4,351.52 feet above mean sea 

level (general adjustment of 1929).

Records available.- March 1911 to March 1912, April 1922 to November 1923, April 1924- to 

September 1939 (Incomplete prior to 1932).

Discharge.- Maximum discharge during year, 55 second-feet Mar. 25 (gage height, 2.67 feet); 

minimum, 0.5 second-foot Aug. 31, Sept. 1 (gage height, 1.16 feet).

1911-12, 1922-23, 1925-39: Maximum discharge, 343 second-feet Aug. 1, 1933, from 

rating curve extended above 125 second-feet; probably no flow at times.

Maximum stage known, 6.0 feet (caused by cloudburst), sometime between 1922 and 1932.

Remarks.- Records fair except those for periods when water-stage recorder was not operating 

properly, Oct. 1 to Jan. 18,'Aug. 1-15; and when stage-discharge relation was affected 

by drift, Dec. 4, and by ice, Dec. 11, all of which were computed on basis of weather records and records for Donner und Blitzen River near Frenchglen and are poor. Some diversions above station for irrigation of small fields; large diversions for irrigation 

below station.

YEARLY-DISCHARGE SUMMARY 

Part 10. Great Basin 125

The following tables summarize In convenient form for general reference ard for use In 

preliminary Investigations the figures of yearly discharge and run-off for certain gaging 

stations In the Great Salt Lake Basin, previously published In the annual series of watersupply papers. All gaging stations, bottf active and discontinued, at which 10 or more 

complete years of record have been collected and published are represented, elso some special stations, as noted below. The summaries present figures of maximum and minimum dally 

discharge and yearly mean discharge and run-off, for both the water years enc'lng September 

30 and the calendar years. The figures for the water years prior to 1912 ane figures for 

the calendar years 1912 to 1933 have not been previously published In the anrual watersupply papers but are Included In these summaries.

The number of the water-supply paper In which the figures of dally and morthly discharge as well as yearly discharge are published Is shown In the column headed W.S.P. (no. 

and page). The descriptions contained In the water-supply papers Indicated five detailed 

Information relative to the gaging stations, Including location, diversions, regulation by 

storage, effect of Irrigation, and other pertinent Information. Records for stations 

which were operated prior to 1901 are generally contained In the annual reports of the 

Geological Survey. Reference Is made to these reports i,f records have not also been published In water-supply papers.

Records for most gaging stations contained In these sumnarles were collected by the 

Geological Survey In cooperation with States, municipalities, or other Federal agencies. 

Acknowledgment of such cooperation Is made In the Introduction to each of the annual surface water-supply papers. Records for some stations are furnished by other organizations 

In complete form for publication. Acknowledgment of these records Is made Ir the descriptive text that is published with the records.

Figures of drainage area are given for each station when known.

Summaries for Incomplete years are given for those stations In Irrigated regions for 

which seasonal records were collected In order to show the flow available for Irrigation. 

They have been compiled from the records of dally and monthly discharge contrlned In the 

water-supply paper Indicated. For sumnarles after 1911 If the period extends- beyond September 30, records of dally and monthly discharge after that day are contained In the 

water-supply paper Indicated for the following year. An Incomplete year Is Included for 

other stations If the maximum dally discharge or minimum dally discharge for all the years 

of record occurred In that -year.

Former names under which records for some of the stations have been published In the 

annual water-supply papers are Indicated In these yearly summaries as followr:

1. If the name of the stream or town or other feature to which the station Is referred 

has been changed, the former name IB given in parentheses, Indicating that records for 

some of the earlier years are published under the obsolete name.

2. If the entire name of a station has been changed, the superseded name and years 

when It was used are given In parenttieses beneath the present name.

GREAT SALT LAKE

Plate 2 Illustrates the fluctuations of the level of Great Salt Lake for the perio-J 1851 to 

January 1941. The elevations are referred to mean sea level as the datum. The sources of the data 

and elevation above mean sea level of zero of each of the gages are shown on the plate. The information contained on this plate Is a reproduction of that given on plate 2, Water-Supply Paper 517, 

page 16, with the data for the years 1923 to 1940 added.

The fluctuations of the lake level result from a balance of the factors. Inflow, precipitation on 

the lake surface, and evaporation. Inflow is in turn dependent upon the precipitation over the 

areas draining Into the lake and upon the demands of irrigation on those areas, which have been variable and Increasing In amount since the turn of the century.
