AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume fa 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 SO, 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 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 in the West. Since the fiscal year ending June 

30, 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 wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources.

In this work many private and State organizations have cooperated, either by furnishing records or by assisting in collecting data. 

Acknowledgements 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
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART YJI

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 

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 hi 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 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, second-feet per 

square mile, and run-off in inches and in 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-feeb 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 hi a given period were uniformly 

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in niches.

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 denned:

"Stage-discharge relation," 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 id most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or 

in ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this 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.

FIGTJBE 1. Typical river measurement station showing concrete well and house for water-stage recorder

and staff gages, cable, and car

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 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 dis-

charge. A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage recorder 

and measuring cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage 

heights to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which the 

monthly and yearly mean discharge is determined.

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 stages, 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 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.
7 ' PUBLICATIONS

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," within 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 misleading owing to the inclusion of large noncontributing districts in the 

measured drainage area, and they may also be subject to gross errors 

caused 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 hi 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.

The tables of monthly discharge give 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 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 

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 water-supply papers, but some have appeared in 

the monographs, bulletins, professional papers, 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:

Part I. North Atlantic slope basins (St. Johns Kiver to York Kiver).

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.

8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART VII

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 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 main* 

tained. For example, data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by Part III are published ih 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.
