SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BASIN, 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 water 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 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 11.

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-foot 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 

gage.

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

5
6 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 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 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 AMD 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 "poor", 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 noncontrlbuting 

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 p%r 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 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 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 Water-Supply Paper 536.

Kecorgs available.- May to November 1911 (gage heights only), August 1912 to September 

1917, July 1928 to February 192S, March 1S30 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge observed during year, 790 second-feet May 6, 7 (gage height, 

7.95 feet); minimum, 7 second-feet Aug. 10-13.

1912-17, 1928-36: Maximum discharge, 1,390 second-feet Apr. 25, 1916 (gage height, 

4.7 feet, old site and datum); minimum, that of Aug. 10-13, 1936.

Remarks.- Records poor. Discharge for periods of ice effect, Nov. 14-25, Nov. 29 to 

Dec. 6, Dec. 10-13, Dec. 17 to Mar. 21, computed on basis of four discharge measurements, gage heights, and weather records. Discharge for Oct. 13 to Nov. 4 computed 

by shifting-control method based on one discharge measurement, gage heights, and 

engineers' notes. Discharge Aug. 30 to Sept. 13, when observer's readings were 

inconsistent, computed on basis of two discharge measurements and record of Baptism 

River near Beaver Bay, Minn. Discharge interpolated Nov. 28. Gage read once daily.

Hote.- Terminal water-surface elevation on Dec. 31, 1935, was 1.12 feet higher than on 

December 31, 1934, corresponding to an Increase in storage of 31,276,438 cubic feet, or a 

discharge of 0.992 second-foot for the year. This correction applied to the above, gives 

a mean for the calendar year 1935 of 12.356 second-feet, 0.981 second-foot per square 

mile, and 13.316 indies run-off from drainage area.

Terminal water-surface elevation on Sept. 30, 1936, was 0.52 foot higher than on Sept. 

30, 1935, corresponding to an increase In storage of 14,560,191 cubic feet, or a disciiarge of 0.460 second-foot for the year. Tnls correction applied to the above, gives a 

mean for the water year 1935-36 of 11.863 second-feet, 0.942 second-foot per square mile, 

and 12.822 inches run-off from drainage area.
102 STREAMS TRIBUTARY TO LAKE ONTARIO 

sw^ eu River at Lock 7, Oswego, N. Y.

Location.- Water-stage recorders, lat. 43°27 1 0", long. 76°30'25", at Lock 7, in Oswego, 

Oswego County, three-quarters of a mile above mouth. Zero of gage is 246.000 feet 

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

Drainage area.- 5,121 square miles.

Records available.- November 1933 to September 1936.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year, 37,500 second-feet Mar. 28 (gage height, 13.10 

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

daily discharge, 700 second-feet July 22.

1933-36: Maximum discharge, that of Mar. 28, 1936; minimum (river only), that of 

Oct. 23, 1935; minimum daily discharge, 465 second-feet Aug. 12, 1934.

Remarks.- Records good. This record represents the total discharge at Oswego (and ineludes the flow in the Hydraulic Canal and Barge Canal). Discharge estimated for 

Hydraulic Canal Oct. 6-14, Dec. 5-23, Jan. 25, 26 and for the river only Oct. 19-23. 

A large amount of natural storage and some artificial regulation is afforded by the 

many large lakes and the Barge Canal system in the river basin. Large diurnal 

fluctuations caused by power operations upstream. The Oswego River receives canal 

water from the Erie division of Barge Canal at Three Rivers, and a small diversion is 

occasionally made from tributary streams of the Oswego, which is added to the summit 

level of the Barge Canal at New London.

Discharge, In second-feet, water 7001' October 1935 to September 1936

1920-36: 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.

Remarks.- Records excellent except those for Dec. 1 to Mar. 13, which are good. Flow 

 partly regulated by storage in Stillwater Reservoir, Fulton Chain of Lakes, and other

reservoirs in upper drainage basin. During canal 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 Watertoim

Hote.- Elevation of water surface of Chateaugay Lakes on Sept. 30, 1936, was 0.33 foot lower than 

on Sept. 30, 1935, corresnonding to an approximate decrease in storage of 43,699,000 cubic feet. 

This is equivalent to a mean annual discharge of 1.39 second-feet, 0.012 second-foot per square 

mile, or a run-off of 0.16 inch from drainage area.

Elevation of water surface of Chateaugay Lakes on Dec. 31, 1935, was 0.55 foot lower than 

on Dec. 31, 1934, corresponding to an approximate decrease in storage of 72,832,000 cubic feet. 

This is equivalent to a mean annual discharge of 2.31 second-feet, 0.021 second-foot per square 

mile, or a run-off of 0.29 inch from drainage area.

Maximum daily discharge supersedes that published in Water-Supply Paper 799.

34 miles above confluence with Winooski River. Prior to Nov. 21, 1934, staff gage 

at same site and datum. Zero of gage is 550.53 feet above mean sea level.

Drainage area.- 69.2 square miles.

kecoras available.- October 1933 to September 1936.

J£ctremes : - Maximum discharge observed during water year 1933-34, 2,170 second-feet 

Apr. 12 (gage height, 6.53 feet); minimum observed (regulated), 1.0 second-foot 

Aug. 23; minimum daily discharge, 3.2 second-feet Aug. 24.

Maximum discharge during water year 1934-35, 1,470 second-feet Jan. 10 (gage 

height, 5.22 feet); minimum (regulated), 0.2 second-foot Aug. 2, 3; minimum 

daily discharge, 0.5 second-foot Aug. 2.

Maximum discharge during water year 1935-36, 1,040 second-feet Mar. 21; maximum gage height, 5.43 feet Mar. 12 (ice jam); minimum daily discharge, 3.4 secondfeet Aug. 14; practically no flow at times on Jan. 2,3, when water was held back 

by mill dam.

Remarks.- Records good except those computed on basis of hydrographic comparison and 

weather records for periods of ice effect, Dec. 9-11, 15, 1953, Jan. 15-17, Feb. 

2-10, 12-19, Dec. 13-16, 21, 22, 1934, Jan. 9, 14-30, Dec. 7, 21, 22, 25-31, 1935, 

Jan. 3, 4, 16-19, Mar. 12, 13, 1936, those for periods of no gage-height record, 

and those above 1,200 second-feet, which are fair. Possibly some backwater during 

periods of no gage-height record. Prior to Nov. 21, 1934, gage-height record obtained from graph constructed from one or more daily staff-gage readings furnished 

by Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. Run-off at high stages affected since November 

1935 by storage in Wrightsville Detention Reservoir (capacity, 893,000,000 cubic
