SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF PACIFIC SLOPE 

BASIN IN CALIFORNIA, 1928

AUTHORIZATION AND 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, 1928.

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. Since the fiscal year ending June 3C, 1895, 

appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the following 

items:

For gaging the streams and determining the water supply of the Unitei States, 

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, ani 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 5,480 points 

in the United States and also at many points in Alaska pud the 

Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1928, 1,830 gaging stations were being 

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements are made at
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1928, 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 "rur-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 secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge hi 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, secondfeet 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. 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 in common use are here defned:

"Stage-discharge ielation"; 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, 1927, and ending September 30, 1928. At the beginning of January 

in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation hi the 

preceding three months is stored as ground water, in the form of snow 

or ice, or in ponds, lakes, and swamps, and this stored water passes
EXPLANATION OF DATA O

off in the streams during die 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 

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 gage or from a water-stage recorder that 

gives continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter. The general methods are

FIGUEE 1. Typical gaging station

outlined in standard textbooks 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.

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 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
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1928, PART XI

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does nut 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 

permanency 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 

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 depth of run-off 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 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
PUBLICATIONS O

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 only 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 located 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, ground waters, and cuality of 

waters. Most of the results of these investigations have b«-en published in the series of 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: x

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

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. Upper Mississippi River and Hudson Bay Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin.

VII. Lower Mississippi River Basin.

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

I.. Colorado River Basin. 

X. The Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California.

XII. North Pacific slope basins in three parts:

A, Pacific slope basins in Washington and upper Columbia River

Basin.

B, Snake River Basin. 

C, Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower Columbia River

Basin.

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 e^ch 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.

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 locations for the conservation and utilization of the 

flood and storm waters of the State. The State fund^ for the work 

during the year 1928 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 F. E. Bonner, district 

engineer, and the Weather Bureau, through H. B. Hersey, meteorologist. The Forest Service pays the salary and expenses of a 

hydrographer detailed for field work. The Geological Survey supervises the work and compiles all stream-flow data for publication.

The stations in Santa Ana River Basin are maintain ed 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 the river-measurement stationswas furnished by the Southern California Edison Co., San Joaquin 

Light & Power Corporation, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Snow Mountain Water & Power Co., city of Redlands, 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 discharge measurements are furnished by various 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 was carried on under cooperative agreements 

between the United States Geological Survey and the State of Oregon 

through Rhea Luper, State engineer. Financial assistance was 

furnished by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, California 

Oregon Power Co., and Jackson County.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1928, PART XI 11 

DIVISION OF WORK

The data for stations in California were collected and prepared for 

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

C. J. Emerson, Jarrett Oliver, Jesse Arnold, B. S. Barnes, G. H. 

Taylor, A. C. Swanson, Conrad D. Bue, and H. J. Tompkins.

The data for stations in Oregon and for stations on Klamatl River, 

Jenny Creek, and Fall Creek near Copco, Calif., were collected and 

prepared for publication under the direction of F. F. Henstaw and 

G. H. Canfield, district engineers, assisted by K. N. Phillips, B. S. 

Barnes, A. H. Williams, and H. M. Orem, and by H. K. Smith and 

A. L. Crawford, hydrographers of the United States Bureau of Reclamation, except for stations in Goose Lake Basin and that on Long 

Creek near Silver Lake, for which data were collected by the State 

of Oregon under supervision of Rhea Luper, State engineer.

The records were reviewed and the manuscript assembled by P. R. 

Speer.
