SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS, 1936

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, 1936. The 

work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies relating to irrigation. 

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,200 points in the United States 

and also at many points in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1936, 3,160 

gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating 

organisations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 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 7.

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 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. 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.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 

34 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 daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either

1
2 ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

from direct readings on a nonrecording 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.

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

measurements. The application of the daily gage height to these rating tablps given 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 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 daily 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 the type of gage, Its latitude and longitude 

determined from the best available maps, and information in regard to 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 

daily discharge if there Is extensive regulation, and also 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 nonrecording gage read at the time of the crest. Likewise the 

minimum represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise qualified.

The table of daily discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecording 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 

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 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 daily discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum daily discharge and not the discharge whep 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 daily records are accurate within

5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; "fair", within 15 percent; and "po.r", 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 noneontributing 

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 1' 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 dally 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.

Note.- The reports which contain records after 1901 are given in the table on page 6.
PUBLICATIONS 5

The records at most of the stations discussed In these reports extend over a series of 

years. Miscellaneous measurements at many point? 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 rmhiished 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 1936. 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 Watsr-Supply Paper 536.

64 TAR RIVER BASIN

Tar River at Greenville, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°37'00", long. 77°22'30", at bridge on State 

Highway 11, about 600 feet below Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge at Greenville, 

Pitt County. Zero of gage is 2.39 feet (revised) below mean sea level.

Drainage area.- 2,680 square miles,

Records available.- March to September 1935.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during period, 11,800 second-feet Sept. 12 (gage height, 

14.7U feet); minimum, gage height, 2.43 feet June 18 (discharge not determined). 

Maximum stage known, 24.5 feet July 28, 1919.

Remarks.- Records poor. Considerable diurnal fluctuation from power operations and 

tide effect. Gage-height record collected In cooperation with U. S. Weather Bureau. 

Because of tide effect, the accuracy of the discharge records for the water year 

1935-36 was considered too doubtful to warrant publication.

Discharge, In seoond-feet, water year October 1934 to September 1935

*Discharge computed on basis of fragmentary gage-height record or by comparison with other discharge records, principally those for station on Tar River near Nashville; gage heights partly or 

wholly missing.
NEUSE RIVER BASIN

Eno River at Hlllsboro, N.

Location.- Staff gage, lat. 56°04'20", long. 79°06'30", 1,000 feet below State Highway 

10 at Hillsboro, Orange County, and 2 miles below Sevenmlle Creek.

Drainage area.- 66.5 square miles.

Records available.- November 1927 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 3,670 second-feet Aug. 28 (gage height, 15.95 

leet. from floodmark); minimum observed, .5.4 second-feet Oct. 15 (gage height, 0.78 

foot].

1927-36: Maximum discharge, 4,650 second-feet Oct. 2, 1929 (gage height, estimated, 

18.0 feet); minimum, 1.2 second-feet Sept. 24-26, 1932 (gage height, 0.50 foot).

Remarks.- Records poor. Those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 26 to Jan. 2, Jan. 29 to 

FeD. 3, based on gage heights, weather records, and comparison with other discharge 

records, principally those for station on Flat River near Bahama.

Rating table, water year 1935-36 except periods of ice effect (gage height, in feet, and discharge in second-feet)

 Estimated from graphs based on some gage readings and by comparison with other discharge records, 

principally those for station on Plat River near Bahama; gage readings mostly unreliable.
NEUSE RIVER BASIN 

Neuse River near Northside, N. C.

67

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°02'25",long. 78 045'05^at Fish Dam Bridge, 14 

miles below Seaboard Air Line Railway bridge and 2 miles south of Northside, Granville 

County. Zero of gage is 226.32 feet above mean sea level (survey by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 574 square miles.

Records available.- July 1927 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 11,100 second-feet Apr. 7; maximum gage height, 

23753 feet Apr. 7; minimum discharge, 15 second-feet Oct. 22 (gage height, 1.14 feet).

1927-36: Maximum discharge, 26,600 second-feet Cct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 28.64 

feet), from rating curve extended above 8,000 second-feet; minimum, 3.1 eecond-feet 

Sept. 20, 1932 (gage height, 0.87 foot).

Remarks.- Records good below 1,000 second-feet, fair 1,000 to 4,000 second-feet, and 

poor above. Discharge for period of missing gage heights, Jan. 21-29, were computed 

on basis of other discharge records, principally those for station at Clayton. 

Rate of change in stage is a factor In the determination of discharge during floods. 

Considerable diurnal fluctuation from power operations upstream. Low flow slightly 

regulated by storage in Durham Reservoir. (See Flat River at dam near Bahama for 

diversion.)

missing.
NEUSE RIVER BASIN

Dial Creek near Bahama, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 36°10'50", long. 78°51 I 55", three-eighths of a 

mile above confluence with Flat River and Lake Michie and li miles northeast of 

Bahama, Durham County.

Drainage area.- 4.9 square miles.

Records available.- October 1925 to September 1936.

Average discharge.- 10 years (1926-36), 3.84 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 380 second-feet Jan. 19 (gage height, 4.75 

reet;, from rating curve extended above 65 second-feet; minimum, 0.30 second-foot 

OcU 17 (gage height, 0.42 foot).

1925-36: Maximum discharge, 575 second-feet Apr. 27, 1928 (gage height, 5.60 

feet), from rating curve extended above 65 second-feet; no flow at times in 1926, 

1930-33.

Remarks.- Records good except those above 80 second-feet, those for periods of Ice effect, 

CecT 22-25, Dec. 30 to Jan. 1, Jan. 28, Feb. 1, 2, 7, and those for periods of incomplete gage-height record, which are fair. Discharge during ice periods computed on 

basis of gage heights, weather records, and comparison with other discharge records, 

principally those for station on Flat River at Bahama. Discharge below 14 second-feet 

determined by use of 2-foot triangle weir, rating for which was checked by discharge 

measurements.

or wholly missing.
CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN

Haw River near Pittsboro, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35 U41'00", long. 79°05'40", about 100 feet above 

KoDinsons Creelc, 2 miles below bridge on State Highway 90, and 5 miles east of 

Pittsboro, Chatham County. Zero of gage is 180.06 feet above mean sea level 

(survey by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 1,340 square miles.

Records available..- November 1928 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 41,000 second-feet Apr. 7 (gage height, 20.73 

reetj; minimum, 19 second-feet Oct. 28 (gage height, 1.40 feet); minimum daily discharge, 33 second-feet Sept. 27.

1928-36: Maximum discharge, 47,300 second-feet Oct. 2, 1929 (gage height, 22.1 

feet); minimum, 9 second-feet Oct. 13, 1930 (gage height, 1.32 feet); minimum daily 

discharge, 18 second-feet Sept. 30, Nov. 13, 1933.

Flood of August 1908 reached a stage of about 32.1 feet (discharge, 98,000 

second-feet), from rating curve extended above 46,000 second-feet.

Remarks.- Records good except those for period of ice effect, Dec. 26 to Jan. 2, which 

are fair, and those for periods of missing gage heights, which are poor. Discharge 

for period of ice effect computed on basis of gage heights, weather records, and 

comparison with other discharge records, principally those for station at Haw River. 

Large diurnal fluctuation from power operations.

*Dlscharge computed on basis of fragmentary gage-height record and comparison with the sum of 

discharge records for stations on Haw River near Pittscoro and Deep River at Monoure; gage 

heights partly or wholly missing.
CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN

Cape Fear River at Fayetteville, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35 U 02'50", long. 73 & 51'35", at highway bridge Just 

below Cross Creek at Fayetteville, Cumberland County. Zero of gage is 20.23 feet 

above mean sea level (survey by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army).

Drainage area.- 4.290 square miles.

Records available.- January 1889 to May 1903, September 1928 to September 1936.

Average discharge.- 21 years (1889-1902, 1928-36 ), 4,775 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 75,000 second-feet Apr. 8 (gage height, 54.0 

feet); maximum gage height, 54.9 feet Apr. 8; minimum discharge not determined, 

minimum gage height, 9.12 feet Oct. 27; minimum daily discharge (estimated), 320 

second-feet Oct. 29.

1889-1903, 1928-36: Maximum discharge, 110,000 second-feet Oct. 4, 1929 (gage 

height, 63.43 feet); minimum, 73 second-feet Oct. 6, 1930; minimum daily discharge, 

110 second-feet Oct. 5, 1930.

Maximum discharge known, estimated, 133,000 second-feet Aug. 29, 1908 (gage 

height, about 68.0 feet, from levels run to the flood crest as witnessed by local 

residents).

Remarks.- Records fair above 10,000 second-feet and poor below. Lock. 3, about 20 miles 

downstream, creates about 10 feet of backwater at Fayetteville except during floods 

when the lock drowns out. This backwater, combined with diurnal fluctuation from 

operation of Buckhorn power plant and regulation on Rockfish Creek entering Cape 

Fear River between Fayetteville and Lock 3, has made the development of a discharge 

rating impossible for medium and low stages. Most of the record has, therefore, 

been estimated from study of gage heights, 37 discharge measurements, and comparison 

with records for stations at Lllllngton and on Lower Little River at Linden. Rate 

of change in stage enters into the determination of discharge during floods.

1 mile below. Records prior to June 1907 revised in North Carolina Department of 

Conservation and Development Bulletin 34.

Average discharge.-16. years (1920-36), 749 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 10,800 second-feet Jan. 19 (gage height, 13.84 

reet); minimum, 240 second-feet Sept. 27, 28 (gage height, 1.78 feet).

1903-9, 1920-36: Maximum discharge, about 23,000 seeond-feet Oct. 2, 1929 (gage 

height, 24.0 feet, from graph based on gage readings); minimum, 130 second-feet 

Jan. 31, 1934 (gage height, 1.55 feet).

Maximum stage observed, 34.5 feet July 1916.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of ice effect, Dec. 21 to Jan. 1, Feb. 2,

or1age 1 mile southwest of Yadkin College, Davidson County.

at State nighway

Drainage area.- 2,250 square miles.

Records available.- July 1928 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 47,900 second-feet Jan. 20 (gage height, 24.92 

reet;; minimum, 903 second-feet Dec. 28 (gage height, 0.87 foot, result of extremely 

low temperature).

1988-36: Maximum discharge, 67,800 second-feet Oct. 3, 1929 (gage height, 29.8 

feet), from rating curve extended above 45,000 second-feet; minimum, 395 second-feet 

Sept. 20, 1932 (gage height, 0.05 foot).

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of missing gage heights, Oct. 1 to 

Nov. 1, Jan. 6-18, and those for period of ice effect, Feb. 2, 3, which are fair. 

Discharge during Ice period based on gage heights, weather records, and comparison 

with other discharge records, principally those for station at Wilkesboro. Discharge 

for periods of missing gage heights also based on these comparisons. Slight diurnal 

fluctuation caused by operation of small power plant about 10 miles upstream.

SANTEE RIVER BASIN 115

Second Broad River at Cliffside, N. C.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 35°14'15", long. 81°46'25", at Cliffside, Rutherfora county, 2 miles above mouth.

Drainage area.- 230 square miles.

Records available.- June 1925 to September 1936.

Average discharge.- 11 years, 301 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 8,490 second-feet Apr. 7 (gage height, 10.10

reet;; minimum, 12 second-feet Oct. 6 (gage height, 0.46 foot); minimum daily discharge, 

67 second-feet Oct. 6, 13.

1925-36: Maximum discharge, 15,000 second-feet Aug. 16, 1928 (gage height, 17.26 

feet), from rating curve extended above 9,100 second-feet; minimum, 8 second-feet 

July 26, 1934; minimum daily discharge, 11 second-feet Oct. 4, 1931.

Remarks.- Records good except those for periods of partly or wholly missing gage heights, 

Oct. 7-9, Dec. 26 to Feb. 4, Sept. 9-11, which are poor. Discharge for those periods 

computed on basis of partial gage-height record and comparison with other discharge 

records, principally those for station on Broad River near Boiling Springs. Large 

diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of Cliffside Mills, a quarter of a mile upstream.

and weather records.
SAVANNAH RIVER BASIN 131

Augusta Canal near Augusta, Ga.

Location.- Two water-stage recorder at upper end of Augusta Canal. Upper gage, lat. 

33*32^5", long. 82°02'15", is 1,000 feet below diversion dam, li miles downstream 

from Stevens Creek power dam, and 5 3/8 miles northwest of Augusta, Richmond County. 

Lower gage, lat. 33°30'50", long. 82°00'15", is 3 3/8 miles downstream from upper 

gage. Elevation of zero of gages is 46.58 feet (city of Augusta datum) and 149.417 

feet above mean sea level (general adjustment or 1929).

Records available.- November 1930 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum daily discharge during year, 3,550 second-feet June 26; no flow 

Apr. b to May 10 (canal closed).

1930-36: Maximum daily discharge, that of June 26, 1936; no flow Apr. 8 to 

May 10, 1936.

Remarks.- Records good. Daily discharge obtained by slope method except period Nov. 16, 

17, when it was computed from partial recorder record and comparison with record for 

similar periods. Canal diverts water for power and water-supply purposes from the 

Savannah River at dam 1 mile downstream from Stevens Creek Dam. Waste water from 

power houses returns to river by three connections above Thirteenth Street highway 

bridge. Water is also pumped from canal for water supply for city of Augusta, and 

a small amount of water entering Beaverdain Ditch is discharged into river about 13 

miles downstream from Augusta.

Remarks.- Records good .except those for Dec. 1-14, which are fair and were computed on 

basis of operation records of power plant near River Falls, 8 miles upstream, and 

records for station near Brooklyn. Operation of power plants upstream causes dally 

fluctuations as well as week-end reductions of flow.
