SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO DRAINAGE BASINS, 1928

AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting records 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 th» classification of public lands and examination of the geological 

structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain.

The work was begun in 1888 hi connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress hfcve 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 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 9.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,480 

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

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

being maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating

organizations. M^any 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 

wiU 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 in various terms, each of which has becomeassociated 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 in 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. Th» 

principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, secondfeet per square mile, and 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 euMe 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 a foot. The term is com* 

monly used in connection with storage for irrigation.

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

"Stage-discharge relation," an abbreviation for the term "relation 

of gage height to discharge."

"Control," a term used to designate the natural sectionor stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage whidu determines the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning Oetobefr 

I, 1927, and ending September 30, 1928. At the beginning of Jafc* 

uary w. most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in.
EXPLANATION OF DATA $

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.

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records 0f 

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

Fietnuc 1» Typical gaging station

from direct readings on a staff gage or chain gage, or from a waterstage 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. 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 thafc 

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

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

monthly and yearly mean discharge is determined.

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 subject 

to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing

 districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information con-
4 SURFACE WATBB SUPPLY, 1928, PART II

cerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, or by imability 

to interpret the effect of artificial regulation of the flow of the river 

above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "ran-off m 

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 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.

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 the series of water-supply papers, but some have appeared 

in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, 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. John River 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. Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River Basins.

VI. Missouri River Basin. 

' VII. Lower Mississippi River Basin. 

VIII. Western Gulf of Mexico basins.

IX. Colorado River Basin.

X. The Great Basin.

XI. Pacific slope basins in California.

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.
