SURFACE WATKR SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 1937

SCOPE OF WORK

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

flow made on streams In the United States during the water year ending September 30, 1937. 

The work was begun 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 1937, 3,380 gaging stations 

were being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. 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 8.

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 a 

rate of flow of 1 cubic foot per second, or 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 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 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 

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 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 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 usually 

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. 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 imps, 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 dally 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 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.

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 under "Remarks" in regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that, in general, the daily records are

in error not more than 5 percent; "good", not more than 10 percent; "fair", not more than 

15 percent; and "poor", over 15 percent.

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 to 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.

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

surface water supply published from 1899 to 1937. The data for any particular station 

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

maintained. For example, the 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.

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 11 at the 

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

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

From time to time reports have been published that are compilations of records for 

various areas, usually a single State or drainage basin. These reports contain reocrds 

previously published (some of which have been revised), as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. The following table gives the 

numbers and titles of these reports, arranged Ln alphabetical order by States and 

drainage basins.

Mote.- Terminal water-surface elevation on Dec. 31, 1936 was 1.10 feet lower than on 

Dec. 31, 1935, corresponding to a decrease in storage of 30,727,581 cubic feet, or a discharge of 0.972 second-foot for the year. This correction applied to the above gives a 

mean for the year of 9.909 second-feet, 0.786 second-foot per square mile, and 10.699 

inches run-off from drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation on Sept. 30, 1937 was 1.04 feet higher than on Sept. 

30, 1936, corresponding to an Increase in storage of 29,921,329 cubic feet, or a discharge 

of 0.949 second-foot for the year. This correction applied to the above, gives a mean for 

the year of 13.559 second-feet, 1.076 second-feet per square mile, and 14.606 inches run-off 

from drainage area.
84 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Oswego River at Lock 7, Offwego, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27'00", long. 76°30'25", at Lock 7, in Oswego, 

Oswego County, three-quarters of a mile above mouth. Zero of gage Is 246.00 feet above 

mean sea level (New York State Barge Canal datum).

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Records available.- November 1933 to September 1937. April 1897 to December 1901, October 

iakJ7 to September 1928 (accuracy doubtful), at High Dam. about three-quarters of a mile 

upstream.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 21,200 second-feet Apr. 24 (gage height, 9.10 

feet); minimum (river only), 55 second-feet Oct. 15 (gage height, 1.07 feet); minimum 

daily discharge, 1,440 second-feet Oct. 11.

1933-37: Maximum discharge, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28, 1936 (gage height, 13.10 

feet); minimum (river only), 42 secona-feet Oct. 23, 1935 (gage height, 1.01 feet); 

minimum daily discharge, 465 second-feet Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks.- Records good. Discharge here recorded represents the total flow at Oswego, and 

including that of the Hydraulic and Barge Canals. Discharge of Hydraulic Canal for 

Dec. 15, 16, Mar. 14 to May 9, June 30, Aug. 25, 26 estimated. A large amount of 

natural storage and some artificial regulation Is afforded in the river basin by the 

many large lakes and the Barge Canal system. Large diurnal fluctuations caused by 

operation of power plants upstream. Oswego River receives water from the Erie division 

of Barge Canal at Three Rivers. A small amount is occasionally diverted from tributary 

streams of the Oswego and is added to the summit level of the Barge Canal at New 

London.

bridge in Watertown, Jefferson County.

Drainage area.- 1,876 square miles.

Records available.- July 1920 to September 1937.

Average discharge.- 17 years, 3,908 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 17,700 second-feet Apr. 7 (gage height, 7.17 

feet); minimum, 48 second-feet Sept. 5 (gage height, -0.03 foot); minimum daily discharge, 480 second-feet Sept. 5.

1920-37: Maximum discharge, 33,900 second-feet Apr. 9. 1928 (gage height, 10.6 

feet); minimum (estimated), 10 second-feet Sept. 2, 1934 (gage height, -0.19 foot); 

minimum daily discharge, 410 second-feet Aug. 13, 1923.

Maximum known discharge, about 39,700 second-feet in April 1869.

season water is diverted out of drainage basin through Forestport Feeder and Black 

River Canal (flowing south). Large diurnal fluctuation caused by operation of mills 

and power plants in Watertown and above.

94 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO

Mill Creek sluiceway at Boonvllle, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 43°29'10", long. 75°19'40", about 500 feet above 

Scnuyler Street In Boonville, Oneida County, and a quarter of a mile above confluence 

with Mill Creek.

Records available.- October 1933 to September 1937.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 74 second-feet Jan. 25 (gage height, 1.02 

reet ); no flow during periods of no diversion.

1933-37: Maximum discharge, 146 second-feet Oct. 3, 1934; maximum gage height, 

2.86 feet sometime during Dec. 11-16, 1933; no flow during periods of no diversion.

Remarks.- Records good except those below 1 second-foot, which are fair, and those for 

periods of Ice effect, Nov. 16-19, 24, Nov. 27 to Dec. 26, Dec. 29, 30, Jan. 6, 11-13, 

16, 17, 20, Jan. 27 to Mar. 31 (computed on basis of three observations of open-water 

flow, gage heights to Feb. 3, and weather records), and for periods of missing gage 

heights, Feb. 4 to Apr. 8, Aug. 14, 20, 21, Sept. 18 (estimated), which are poor. The 

discharge at this station represents the amount of water returned to Black River after 

diversion. The sum of this discharge and that of Black River Canal (flowing south) 

represents the total amount diverted from Black River at Forestport through Forestport 

feeder and includes also the run-off from about 14 square miles tributary to the canal 

system and Mill Creek.

Discharge, in second-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937

STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 95 

Black River Canal (flowing south) near Boonville, N. Y.

Location.- Two water-stage recorders and concrete controls, lat. 43°27'20 1', long.

TFTS'SS" no. 1 on main canal at Lock 69 and no. 2 on Lansingkill spillway, 100 feet 

downstream from head gates in summit level of canal and 600 feet upstream from Lock 

70 2 miles south of Boonville, Oneida County.

Records available.- September 1915 to September 1937 during canal seasons.

Remarks.- Records excellent. They include the combined flow at gages 1 and 2 and represent the total diversion from Black River through Forestport feeder, into Mohawk 

River Basin. Discharge estimated for Aug. 28-31, Sept. 9, 10, at gage no. 1 and for 

Oct. 13-16, Nov. 3-7 at gage no. 2. During Nov. 10 to June 9, for which period no 

water was diverted, the canal carried a small flow, made up of leakage through the 

head gates and run-off from the area draining into the canal above the station.

Discharge, In second-feet, water year October 1936 to September 1937
