WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA.

PART II. STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN THE SAN 

JOAQUIN RIVER BASIN.

By H. D. MOGLASHAN and H. J. DEAN.

INTRODUCTION.

The great part which the water resources had in the development 

of California is evident throughout its history.

Repairs to a mill race near Georgetown, Eldorado County, in 1848, 

led to the discovery of gold; and the development of the gold-mining 

industry was due largely to the location of the deposits near the 

water necessary for hydraulicking. The water available for irrigation and domestic supply has been the chief factor in the development of southern California, which now has a population of more 

than a million people. The growth of irrigation systems in the 

great interior valley is bringing about its subdivision into small 

ranches devoted to the intensive farming which affords almost limitless opportunities to the agriculturist.

An increased water supply for the city of San Francisco is one of 

its greatest necessities, and more water for Los Angeles is to be 

brought from Owens Valley a distance of more than 200 miles at 

a cost of $23,000,000.

The many mountain streams of California afford abundant hydroelectric power, the utilization of which in manufacturing enterprises 

and in transportation has been made possible by the progress of 

electric-power transmission during the last decade; to-day California 

probably leads the country in the number and length of her powertransmission lines.

Information concerning the quantity of water carried by the 

streams has been and will continue to be an important factor in the 

development of these resources, for the fundamental importance of 

stream-flow data is now so thoroughly recognized that it is almost 

impossible to finance any project depending on stream flow without 

presenting authentic records of flow covering a period of years.

The measurement of the flow of streams in California was begun 

by the California State engineer in 1878, in accordance with a law 

requiring him "to investigate the problems of the irrigation of the

7

plains, the condition and capacity of the great drainage lines of the 

State, and the improvement of the navigation of rivers." The work 

was restricted to a few localities in the Sacramento and San Joaquin 

basins, the principal station being on the Sacramento at Collinsville.

The State engineer's office was discontinued in 1884, and practically no further stream studies were made until 1894, when engineers 

of the United States Geological Survey were sent into California and 

made a few measurements of streams in the semiarid parts of the 

State. The following year the Survey established a station on Sacramento River at Red Bluff and since that time it has gradually 

extended the work until it now has available records of flow at about 

340 stations on California streams. Many records have also been 

collected by private parties. The first stations were located only on 

streams whose waters were to be used for irrigation, but records are 

now available on streams adapted to all uses, including navigation, 

domestic water supply, and power.

Information concerning this work is being published as Water-Supply Papers 295 to 300, with the following titles:

295. Gazetteer of surface waters of California, Part I, Sacramento River basin.

296. Gazetteer of surface waters of California, Part II, San Joaquin River basin.

297. Gazetteer of surface waters of California, Part III, Great Basin and Pacific 

coast streams.

298. Water resources of California, Part I, Stream measurements in Sacramento 

River basin.

299. Water resources of California, Part II, Stream measurements in San Joaquin 

River basin.

300. Water resources of California, Part III, Stream measurements in Great 

Basin and Pacific coast river basins.

The investigations of the quantity of water in the streams have 

been supplemented by studies of the climatic and other factors affecting stream flow, and a mass of valuable information has thus been 

collected affording data for all phases of hydraulic work.

Lack of time and money has prevented thorough revision of the 

stream-flow figures here published, but the base data are presented 

to enable those using the figures to verify their accuracy.

COOPERATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

Cooperation in stream measurements between the United States 

Geological Survey and State of California was first provided for by 

the State legislature in an act approved March 16, 1903. This act 

covered the period from July 3, 1903, to June 30, 1905, and was in 

substance as follows:

The State board of examiners are hereby empowered to enter into contracts with the 

Director of the United States Geological Survey for the purpose of making topographic 

maps to the extent of twenty thousand dollars; also for the purpose of gaging streams, 

surveying reservoir%sites and canal locations, for the conservation and utilization of 

the flood and storm waters of the State, to the extent of fifteen thousand dollars * * *.
STEEAM MEASUBEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 9

Similar acts, approved March 20, 1905, and March 11, 1907, provided for the continuation of the work until June 30, 1909, with an 

increased biennial appropriation of $30,000 for topography and 

$20,000 for hydrography. The act of March 11, 1907, named the 

Department of Engineering of the State of California as the cooperating party.

An act placing cooperation between the State of California and the 

United States Geological Survey on a permanent basis was approved 

April 22, 1909, and provided as follows:

The department of engineering is hereby empowered to carry on topographic surveys 

and investigations into matters pertaining to the water resources of the State along the 

lines of hydrography, hydro-economics, and the use and distribution of water for agricultural purposes, and to that end, where possible and to the best interest of the State, 

shall enter into contracts for cooperation with the different departments of the Federal 

Government in such amounts as may be an equitable and necessary division of the 

work. The State engineer, with the consent of the governor, may maintain and continue such investigations where there is available money not covered by cooperation 

contract. For the permanent maintenance of said surveys and investigations there 

is hereby continuously appropriated out of the general fund of the State treasury for 

each and every fiscal year, commencing with the date upon which this act becomes 

effective, the sum of thirty thousand dollars.

Of this sum $9,000 is allotted annually to investigations of water 

resources.

In 1911 the California Legislature provided for a State Board of 

Control (Water Powers), to pass on matters pertaining to the appropriation of water for power development, and for a Conservation 

Commission to investigate and collect information concerning forests, 

water, and other natural resources and their use, for the purpose of 

revising the laws of the State relating thereto. In 1912 the State 

Board of Control (Water Powers) became the State Water Commission, 

without change in personnel. 

In the present work the State of California is triply represented: 

By the Department of Engineering, State of California, W. F. 

McClure, State engineer; by the Conservation Commission, George C. 

Pardee, chairman, Francis Cuttle, and J. P. Baumgartner; and by 

the State Water Commission, Hiram W. Johnson (governor), Charles 

D. Marx, chairman, S. C. Graham, Harold T. Power, and W. F. 

McClure. Louis R. Glavis is secretary of both commissions.

The earliest stream gaging work in the State, beginning in 1878, 

was carried on under the direction of William Ham. Hall, State engi? 

neer, by A. Boschke and other assistant engineers, among whom was 

C. E. Grunsky, who continued in charge of office computations and 

frequently acted as hydrographer until the State engineer's department was abolished. Work by the Geological Survey was begun in 

1894, under the direction of F. H. Newell, chief hydrographer, by 

Arthur P. Davis and Joseph B. Lippincott. On the establishment
10 WATEE RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

of the United States Reclamation Service, in 1902, Mr. Lippincott 

became supervising engineer for California, and the field work was 

continued under his direction by William B. Clapp and Samuel G. 

Bennett, until the separation of the Reclamation Service from the 

Geological Survey in 1906, when Mr. Clapp became district engineer. 

On Mr. Clapp's death in December, 1911, H. D. McGlashan was 

appointed district engineer. Numerous assistants have participated 

in the field work, and as their names appear in connection with the 

measurements which have been made they will not be repeated here. 

Special acknowledgment should, however, be made to W. F. Martin, 

who was Mr. Clapp's principal assistant from June, 1906, to November, 1909, when he was transferred to Hawaii. Many records have 

been collected in cooperation with private individuals, to whom 

credit is given in connection with the published data.

GEOGRAPHY OF THE SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 1

California is traversed on the east and west by two approximately 

parallel ranges of mountains the Sierra Nevada and the Coast 

Range which converge at Mount Shasta on the north and at 

Tehachapi on the south and inclose the largest body of farming land 

in the State, the area often spoken of as the Great Valley of California. 

(See PI. I.) It is a gently sloping and practically unbroken plain, 

about 400 miles long and from a few miles to 80 miles wide, the average width being about 40 miles. The total area of the valley proper 

is 15,700 square miles, or 10,048,000 acres; including mountains and 

mi nor valleys it comprises more than 58,000 square miles. "On 

the east side the valley has since the beginning of Cretaceous time 

been bordered by the Sierra Nevada; on the west side diastrophic 

processes have gradually built up the barrier of the Coast Ranges, 

changing the depression from a gulf of the sea to a lake and from a 

lake to a drained valley. From the beginning of the Cretaceous 

period the Great Valley has been the depository of enormous masses 

removed by erosion from the rising land on the west, and to a less 

degree also of the debris from the Coast Ranges.2

The Great Valley itself exhibits little diversity in its physical 

aspect. Such differences as exist between its north and south ends 

are climatic, or, if physical, are directly due to climatic differences. 

Among local physical features due to climatic differences may be 

mentioned the Tulare basin, at the south end of the San Joaquin 

Valley, which has been caused by the aridity of the region and the 

consequent extensive development of alluvial fans. Two of these

fans, extending from Kings .River on the east and Los Gatos Creek 

on the west side of the valley, have coalesced in a low ridge south of 

which lie the Tulare Lake and Kern Lake depressions. Basins 

differing in character and situation but originating nevertheless in 

climatic conditions are the overflow basins of the Sacramento and 

the lower San Joaquin valleys, of which the Yolo basin may be 

mentioned as a type. These basins occupy the lowest portions of 

the flood plains just outside the ridges that form the immediate river 

banks.

The central valley opens to San Francisco Bay and thence to the 

Pacific through Carquinez Strait and the Golden Gate, and the combined waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin systems discharge 

through these gateways. Other passes, like the Tehachapi, the Tejon, 

and Walker Pass, near the south end of San Joaquin Valley, and the 

Livennore Valley gateway, near Carquinez Strait, break the mountain barriers that surround the central lowland, but they are not so 

low nor so pronounced as the central tidal gateway. In general it 

may be said that the Great Valley is completely inclosed except for 

this opening.

The larger lobe of the central depression, extending southward from 

Cosumnes River and Suisun Bay, is generally known as San Joaquin 

Valley, although it is not all drained directly by San Joaquin River 

and its tributaries. The southern, more arid third of the depression, 

extending from Kings River delta to the Tehachapi Mountains, has 

no surface outlet under normal conditions, and the surface waters 

accumulate in the Tulare Lake depression and the Buena Vista reservoir. Originally Kern Lake received a portion of the excess from 

Kern River, but through the protection afforded by a restraining dike 

water is kept out of it except as unusual floods may break the restraining dam, and the original lake bottoms have become valuable wheat 

lands.

The streams that drain into the valley from the Sierra Nevada 

carry practically all the water that reaches it. They are in every way 

more important than those that enter it from the west. They have 

larger drainage basins, individually and collectively; they have longer 

courses; and they flow from higher mountains, with a much greater 

rainfall and a better protective covering of forest and brush; hence 

their discharge is many times greater and much less erratic than that 

of the west-side streams.

The total drainage area* tributary to the valley from the Sierra is 

16,089 square mi,les, and from the Tehachapi and Coast Ranges 4,293 

square miles; the area of the valley floor is 11,513 square miles. The 

total area of the San Joaquin basin is therefore 31,895 square miles.

i Hall, W. H., Physical data and statistics of California, pp. 396 et seq.
12 WATER RESOURCES OP CALIFORNIA, PART II.

The average run-off of the principal east-side streams north of 

Kings Eiver, with a combined drainage area of 7,543 square miles, 

is about 8,500,000 acre-feet; that of Kings, Kaweah, Tule, and Kern 

rivers, discharging into the Tulare basin from a drainage area comprising 5,T43 square miles, is about 3,000,000 acre-feet. The total 

discharge into the valley from 12,686 square miles of Sierra slopes is 

therefore about 11,500,000 acre-feet.

The preponderance of east-side streams has given the valley floor 

its well-marked unsymmetrical form. The valley axis, the line of 

lowest depression, is throughout much nearer the western than the 

eastern foothills. In places it lies against the western hills, but elsewhere, as between Los Gatos and Cantua creeks, the west-side slopes 

are 15 or 18 miles wide at least half as wide as those of the east side. 

They are also steeper than those of the east. Grades of 20 or even 

40 feet to the mile are not rare, and it is unusual for the grades to be 

less than 6 or 8 feet to the mile. On the east side 30 feet to the mile 

is about the maximum gradient, 5 feet or less being perhaps the 

average.

These conditions are due directly to the fact that the valley floor 

has been built up by the alluvial material eroded by the streams from 

the mountains east and west of the depression. The larger and more 

active streams have built flatter but more extensive alluvial fans 

the type that makes up the east-side slopes; the more erratic and 

torrential streams of smaller volume have built the steeper and less 

extensive fans that constitute the west-side slopes.

GEOLOGIC OUTLINE.1

THE BOCKS OP THE VALLEY BORDERS.

In simplest outline the geologic formations of the eastern border of 

the San Joaquin Valley consist of granites and metamorphic sedimentary and igneous masses of pre-Cretaceous age, which have been 

called the "Bedrock series," overlain at the north and south ends of 

the valley, in an interrupted band occupying a zone of low relief 

between the Sierra proper and the valley proper, by a series of 

Tertiary sediments, entirely unaltered and including beds as old as 

the Eocene, although the .great body of the material seems to be 

Miocene or Pliocene in age. Between San Joaquin River and Portersville this zone of late sediments is missing, and the sands and gravels 

of the valley proper lie upon the flanks of the granite and metamorphic 

complex of the Sierra. Because of this hiatus the east-side Tertiary 

deposits are separated into two bodies, of which the northern extends 

from Fresno Eiver nearly to the Cosumnes, and the southern, conveniently designated as the Bakersfield area, extends from Deer Creek 

to the Canada de las Uvas.

1 Abstract from a manuscript by H. R. Johnson, on the geology of the borders of the San Joaquin Valley.
STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 13

The northern area of Tertiary rocks, which is chiefly in the MiltonMerced region, includes a lower clayey series that has been called the 

lone formation; a middle series consisting of andesitic sandstone, 

coarse volcanic breccias, and tuffaceous beds; and an upper gravelly 

series that is in places auriferous. This upper series usually occurs 

along the mostly westerly foothills and merges at many points with 

the gravels and soils of the valley floor.

The southern area contains alternating beds of soft sandstone, clay, 

and gravel, the uppermost beds being coarse, like those of the northern 

area, and in some places scarcely distinguishable from the alluvium 

of the valley itself.

The geology of the western margin of the valley contrasts in many 

ways with that of the eastern margin. The oldest rocks of the 

Diablo Range the easternmost of the Coast Ranges are altered 

igneous and sedimentary rocks, the latter known as the Franciscan 

formation. They extend along the axis of the range from a point 

southwest of Coalinga to San Francisco Bay. Overlying them on 

the valley side, but not continuously, is a succession of sandstones, 

shales, and conglomerates of Cretaceous and oldest Tertiary (Eocene) 

age. These in turn are overlain by a diverse sequence, locally of 

great thickness and usually but not invariably present in some of its 

members, representing the middle and upper Tertiary. These rocks, 

like the older sediments beneath thenj, are sandstones, shales, and 

conglomerates, but as a rule they are less firmly indurated than the 

Eocene and Cretaceous rocks. They overlie the latter unconformably 

and contain many unconformities within themselves, with a resulting 

diversity in thickness and irregularity in extent of individual beds. 

These rocks include several bodies of siliceous shale, besides a great 

variety and abundance of sandstones and conglomerates. Toward 

the top of the section are beds that clearly represent fresh-water or 

subaerial deposition, undoubtedly much like that which is now taking 

place in Tulare Lake and in the west-side alluvial fans. As a whole 

the sedimentary strata dip toward the valley, although interruptions 

Hke the anticline of the Kettleman and McKittrick hills vary the 

prevailing monoclinal dips. In general the structures of the valley 

border are more complex at the south end than along the middle 

portion and at the north.

The valley as a whole is a great structural trough and appears to 

have been such a basin since a time well back in the Tertiary period. 

Since it assumed its general troughlike form, gradual subsidence, 

perhaps interrupted by periods of uplift, has continued and has been 

accompanied by deposition, alternating, at least along what is now 

its western border, with intervals of erosion. This interrupted but 

on the whole continuous deposition seems to have been marine 

during early and middle Tertiary time; but during the later Tertiary
14 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

and Pleistocene epochs, when presumably the valley had been at 

least roughly outlined by the growth of the Coast Ranges, fresh-water 

and terrestrial conditions became more and more predominant, until 

the relations of land and sea, of rivers and lakes, of coast line and interior, of mountain and valley, as they now exist, were gradually evolved. 

As these conditions developed, the ancestors of the present rivers 

probably brought to the salt and fresh water bodies that occupied 

the present site of the valley and its borders, or, in the latest phases 

of the development, to the land surface itself, the clays, sands, gravels, 

and alluvium that subsequently consolidated into the shales, sandstones, and conglomerates of the late Tertiary and Pleistocene formations, just as the present rivers are supplying the alluvium that is 

even now accumulating over the valley floor.

The very latest of these accumulations are the sand, silt, and 

gravel beds penetrated by the driller in his explorations for water 

throughout the valley. They are like the early folded sandstones, 

shales, and conglomerates exposed along the flanks of the valley, 

except that they are generally finer and are not yet consolidated 

or disturbed. The greater part or perhaps all of them accumulated 

as stream wash orr the valley surface or in interior lakes like 

the present Tulare Lake, but a proportion of the older sediment 

that has gradually decreased accumulated in the sea or in salt bays 

having free connection with the sea. These very latest geologic 

deposits, saturated below the ground-water level by the fresh water 

supplied chiefly by the Sierran streams, constitute the reservoirs 

drawn upon by the wells, whether flowing or pumped, throughout 

the valley.

The chemical character of the ground waters, as well as their 

occurrence and accessibility, is related to geology. Where the 

valley alluvium is derived from the Cretaceous and Tertiary beds 

of the Coast Ranges, rich in gypsum and other sulphates and carbonates which are relatively easily soluble, the ground waters that 

percolate through it will soon dissolve large quantities of the salts. 

Where if, the alluvium, on the other hand, is derived from the granites and metamorphic rocks of the Sierra, whose potassium, so'dium, 

and calcium compounds are in the form of resistant silicates, the 

ground waters dissolve out these constituents slowly and under all 

ordinary conditions remain practically free from salts.

Obviously if the sands and gravels through which the ground 

waters percolate were deposited under such conditions that salts 

were deposited with them, as in the salt water of the sea or of bays 

like San Francisco Bay, or in interior lakes that are saline through 

evaporation, as is true of Tulare Lake, then the ground waters themselves will quickly become saline, although when they leave the 

mountains as surface waters, before their absorption by the alluvial 

fans, they may be as pure natural waters as are known in the world.

ORIGIN OF THE PRESENT VALLEY SURFACE.

The lowland through the heart of California known as the Great 

Valley, whose origin as a depression appears, in accordance with 

the facts just outlined, to date well back into Tertiary time, owes 

its actual surface to more recent action and to more obvious agents. 

That surface is, in brief, a combination of the surfaces of a great 

number of alluvial fans, originating at the mouths of the canyons 

through which the tributary streams discharge from the mountains 

into the valley.

Each stream that enters the valley brings with it from the mountains a greater or smaller quantity of sand, gravel, or bowlders. 

All or a part of this burden is deposited in the valley, and the deposit 

constitutes the alluvial fan of that particular stream. The apex 

of each fan is the mouth of the stream canyon. From this apex 

it broadens and flattens until it coalesces at its periphery with other 

fans. The stream that built it usually spreads delta-wise over it, 

discharging through a number of diverging channels into the trough 

of the valley. As a rule these spreading distributaries flow upon 

the surface of the fan, but some of the major streams from the San 

Joaquin northward are incised into the valley floor in shallow trenches 

100 feet or less in depth. This must be due to special conditions, 

such as recent change in volume of stream flow or in elevation of 

the land relative to the sea conditions not yet understood.

The fans of different portions of the valley indicate by their mass 

and form the conditions of volume and distribution of rainfall under 

which they originated. The west-side fans, particularly those in 

the middle of the valley and near its south end, are steep and symmetrical, having forms characteristic of areas of low rainfall very 

irregularly distributed. The east-side fans are of much greater 

mass and lower slope, because the rivers that built them have a 

greater flow of somewhat less irregular character. The Kern River 

fan has grown westward against the McKittrick Hills until it has 

isolated the Buena Vista basin south of it. Before dams had been 

built, interfering with the natural conditions here, a shallow lake 

occupied the present site of Buena Vista reservoir and the old bed 

of Kern Lake, and during seasons of unusual rainfall there was 

overflow northward toward Tulare Lake. The basin occupied by 

Tulare Lake is likewise due to aridity of the valley and the consequent development of the Kings River and Los Gatos Creek fans. 

South of the low, broad ridge caused by the coalescing of these two 

fans is the Tulare basin, in which a part of the surplus waters of the 

streams south of it accumulate. As a consequence of the flatness 

of this basin and the very erratic character of the supply that reaches 

it, the lake fluctuates widely in area during a series of years.

Northward from the Tulare Lake basin the discharge of the spring 

is sufficiently great and sufficiently constant to prevent the formation
16 WATEE EESOUECES OP CALIFOENIA, PAET II.

of delta dams like those formed by the Kings River and Los Gatos 

Creek fans, and an open channel is maintained from the San Joaquin 

northward to Suisun Bay.

Along the lower course of the San Joaquin conditions resemble 

those in the Sacramento Valley that is, they are the conditions 

usual along rivers draining humid rather than arid regions. Large 

areas are subject to regular annual inundation during the spring 

floods or are protected from this inundation only by the construction of artificial levees. The greater part of the water that inundates this area is supplied by the Sacramento system, but the greatest overflow occurs when the floods appear in the two systems at the 

same time.

, The essential fact as to the present valley surface is that it is a 

direct result of stream action. It has everywhere been built up by 

deposition from the streams or from fluctuating lakes that are themselves dependent on the streams; and it is formed of materials 

brought by the streams from the mountainous portions of their 

drainage basins, where they are eroding instead of depositing. 

Throughout the south end of the valley its surface is a combination of alluvial-fan surfaces. At the north end of the valley these 

fans, less strikingly and typically developed because of the greater 

precipitation there, still predominate along the valley borders, while 

the center of the valley is a flood plain of the usual type.

SOILS.

As the valley surface has been molded by stream action into its 

present form, so the soils of the valley represent deposition by the 

rivers of materials washed out of the mountains from which they 

drain. This soil is modified in various ways after the streams have 

deposited it by disintegration of the rock particles where the 

streams have left them; by the mingling of the products of vegetal 

decay where vegetation is abundant, or by chemical processes in 

place, such as the formation of "hardpans" or the accumulation of 

alkalies; but the soil foundation, so to speak, reflects pretty closely 

the type of rock outcropping in the drainage basin of the stream on 

whose delta the particular soils are found.

For example, the soils of the deltas of Kern and Kings rivers 

are in large part of granitic derivation, because granitic rocks form 

the greater part of the mountain drainage basin of each of these 

rivers. Their coarseness and the distribution of the coarse and fine 

phases are, to a certain extent, matters of accident, due to the 

location of present or past channels of the streams across their 

deltas; but in steep alluvial fans the coarser and more bowldery 

soils occur nearer the mountains. In the fans of those east-side 

streams from the Merced northward, whose lower courses at least
STKEAM MEASUKEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. ' 17

are cut through late Tertiary formations containing a large percentage of lavas and derived products, other types of soil result.

The west-side streams, draining mountains that are practically 

free from granites and similar rocks but that contain soft serpentines, shales, and sandstones, deposit fragments of those rocks in 

their alluvial fans, and the result is a soil type entirely different 

from that of the east side and south end of the valley. These shale, 

clay, serpentine, and sandstone fragments disintegrate much more 

quickly than the granitic sands that contain large proportions of 

such resistant minerals as quartz and feldspar, and the result is 

the mellow, loamy soil with its fragments of siliceous shale that 

makes much of the west slope of the valley and is so productive 

whenever water can be applied to it.

Soil of another general class occurs at a few localities along the 

east side of the valley. This soil is not of alluvial-fan origin, brought 

into the valley by the streams from the surrounding mountains, but 

is due to the decay in place of the rocks underlying the particular 

area where it occurs. Soils of this class are found northeast of 

Fresno beyond Clovis, in some of the coves like Clark Valley, north 

of Reedley, and perhaps in other foothill valleys in the PortersvilleLindsay district. Some of the rolling wheat lands in a zone along 

the eastern border of Stanislaus and Merced counties may also be 

regarded as derived from the decay of rock in place rather than 

from inwashed alluvial-fan material, but as the rock is itself a late 

Tertiary sediment differing but little from the alluvial-fan material 

of the same area, the classification of the soils as residual rather than 

colluvial has no practical significance.

Another type of soil is neither more nor less than fine beach sand. 

This type is best developed in a zone surrounding Tulare Lake, and 

it represents the shore lines of that water body when it contained 

much more water than at present. In places this sand has been 

reworked by the wind blown into inconspicuous dunes, as in the 

"Sand Ridge" near the Kings-Kern County line.

Finally, there are the soils of the "tule lands" and the "islands," 

the areas subject to overflow, particularly along the lower course of 

the San Joaquin and its tributaries but present, although less extensively developed, in other areas. These lands are black loams or 

adobes or impure peats and are very fertile when reclaimed.

The Bureau of Soils of the Department of Agriculture has made 

detailed surveys of certain areas in the San Joaquin Valley as the 

beginning of a general soil mapping of the entire valley. The sheets 

at present available cover areas about Stockton, Fresno, Hanford, 

and Bakersfield, and others are in preparation. In the text of the 

reports and in the maps that accompany them the soils are classified 

in great detail on a physical basis, and by a proper study of this 

classification the geologic origin of most of the soils may be traced.

PRECIPITATION.

The mean annual precipitation in the San Joaquin basin varies 

with elevation, latitude, and longitude. The southern part of the 

central valley is strictly arid, the rainfall there being less than 5 inches 

annually; northward along the trough of the valley the rainfall 

gradually increases, and near the north end the average is nearly 20 

inches. The west-side slope has light rainfall, which increases with 

elevation up to about 5,000 feet and then decreases somewhat up to 

the summit. The same progressive increase from south to north 

that exists in the valley continues along the summit. This is well 

shown by the total run-off from the northern and southern Sierra, 

which amounts to about'11,500,000 acre-feet annually. Of this 

amount 3,000,000 acre-feet is derived from about 7,500 square 

miles by the streams south of the upper San Joaquin and 8,500,000 

acre-feet from about 5,100 square miles drained by the San Joaquin 

and its tributaries from the northern Sierra. The precipitation 

occurs during the "rainy season," which begins in the late fall and 

ends in early spring. Snowfall is heavy in the higher mountain 

region and does not disappear until late in the summer.

DRAINAGE.

THE MAIN STREAM.

San Joaquin River rises in the high Sierra southeast of the Yosemite 

National Park, where it is formed by the junction of its Middle and 

South forks in the northern part of T. 6 S., R. 25 E., Mount Diablo 

base and meridian; it flows southwestward to the trough of San 

Joaquin Valley, where it takes a northwesterly course to Suisun Bay, 

into which it discharges about 50 miles by water from San Francisco.

The South Fork, which drains the larger area and is therefore 

considered the head of the main stream, rises in Martha Lake southwest of Mount Goddard, at altitude 11,007 feet, above sea level, flows 

northwestward about 40 miles, then turns to the west and southwest 

to join the Middle Fork. This fork is 44 miles long. Its principal 

tributaries are Evolution, Piute, Bear, and Mono creeks. The basin 

of the South Fork is bordered on the east by the Sierra Nevada, whose 

crest it touches for a distance of 40 miles. Elevations range from 

4,000 feet at the junction with the Middle Fork to more than 13,000 

feet at the highest summits. The tributaries drain innumerable 

glacial lakelets, of which Wanda, Evolution, Desolation, Italy, and 

Muriel lakes are more than 11,000 feet above sea level.

The important tributaries of the San Joaquin below the junction 

of the South and Middle forks drain parts of the west slope of the 

Sierra, take a course parallel to the upper San Joaquin that is, 

southwest and enter from the east. In order from south to north
STEEAM MEASUEEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 19

these are Fresno, Chowchilla, Merced, Tuolumne, Calaveras, and 

Mokelumne rivers. The .principal streams from the Sierra south 

of the upper San Joaquin are, in order from north to south, Kings, 

Kaweah, Tule, and Kern rivers. Kaweah, Tule, and Kern rivers are 

lost in the Tulare Lake depression, which, under normal conditions, 

sends no water to San Joaquin River, but Kings River at times 

discharges directly into the San Joaquin.

THE TRIBUTARIES.

KEEN AND TULAKE LAKE BASINS.

GENERAL FEATURES.

The Tulare Lake basin is situated near the south end of the San 

Joaquin Valley and embraces that part of the valley determined by 

the Kings River delta at the north and the Kern River delta at the 

south. These rivers leave the foothills and enter the valley near 

Fresno and Bakersfield, respectively. Strictly speaking, they are 

tributaries of Sany Joaquin River, but in reality no water from Kern 

River has reached the San Joaquin in recent years. Only a part of 

the Kings River water enters the San Joaquin.

Below the foothills the Kings River and Kern River channels 

roughly parallel each other in a southwesterly direction. They 

are about 90 miles apart, and their courses are approximately at 

right angles to the axis, or old trough, of the valley. During past 

centuries each of these streams has brought down an immense quantity of eroded material and deposited it in the valley along its course, 

the result of the deposition being the pronounced delta fans that 

extend completely across the valley as the Kings River and Kern 

River ridges. The delta ridge formed by Kern River extends westward to the McKittrick Hills and cuts off a small basin in the extreme 

south end of the San Joaquin Valley, which may be called Kern Basin. 

This basin contains several small lakes, of which Buena Vista reservoir 

is the largest and occupies the lowest depression. Kern River drains 

into this basin.

North of the Kern River ridge and south of the Kings River ridge 

is another broad but shallow depression known as the Tulare Lake 

basin or the "valley of the tules." Its lowest area lies in the trough 

of the San Joaquin Valley and for several hundred years has been 

covered most of the time by a shallow fresh-water lake. The lake was 

originally a delta swamp and has always fluctuated in depth and 

extent, depending on the season and the caprice of the delta rivers 

supplying it. Probably within the last hundred years the entire 

flow of Kern, Tule, and Kaweah rivers and a large part if not all of 

that of Kings River has entered this lake; but at the present time 

only the Kaweah and the Tule, south of Kings River and north of
20 WATER RESOURCES OP CALIFORNIA, PART II.

Kern River, are wholly tributary to the Tulare basin. At high 

stages Kings River discharges in part into this basin, and sometimes 

overflow may reach it from the Kern River basin at the south.

TULARE LAKE.

Tulare Lake is a shallow body of water occupying the lowest depression of the Tulare basin. It is about 30 miles directly south of 

Fresno and 40 miles northwest of Bakersfield. The lake is roughly 

rectangular in shape, its greatest length being from northwest to 

southeast. In November, 1907, when its margin was carefully determined, the lake had an area of about 274 square miles, a maximum depth of 12.4 feet, an average length of 20 miles, and a width 

of 13.5 miles; the water's edge was 3 miles from the town of Corcoran 

and the water surface about 12 feet below.

C. E. Grunsky, in Water-Supply Paper 17, says:

Tulare Lake has frequently been under discussion as a source of water supply for 

irrigation. The following facts with reference to the fluctuations of its water surface 

will be of interest in connection witn its availability for this purpose: In 1853, after 

several wet seasons, the lake was full, though probably not so high as subsequently, 

in 1862 or in 1868. From 1853 until 1861 there was a gradual subsidence of the lowwater stage of the lake. The rate at which this occurred can not now be determined. 

In the fall of 1861 the water surface of the lake was at the elevation 204 feet above sea 

level (low water of Suisun Bay), if the testimony of residents at the lake at that time, 

in reference to the rise of water the following winter, can be relied upon. The unusual 

heavy rainfall of the winter 1861-62 caused the lake to rise to the highest known 

.stage, 220 feet. Its area -was increased from about 300 to about 800 square miles, 

and 300,000,000,000 cubic feet, or 6,885,000 acre-feet, of water were added to its 

contents. It continued to overflow at least until the spring of 1863, but then rapidly 

fell to about 11 or 12 feet below its highest stage, which was its condition in the fall of 

1867. The inflow of water during the wet winter of 1867-68 again brought the lake 

nearly, if not quite, to the high-water stage of 1861-62.

The water surface fluctuated between 211 and 217 feet in the years 1872 to 1876, then 

receded rapidly to the lowest known stage, 192 feet, in November, 1883. From that 

time to this [1899] the lake has not received sufficient water to cause it to overflow. It 

is generally believed that the diversion of water for irrigation purposes from Kern, 

Tule, Kaweah, and Kings rivers has been the cause of the decrease of water volume in 

the lake, but this is not true. Although such diversion must produce some effect on 

the lake, the evidence that protracted low stages [before there was any irrigation] preceded the low stage of 1883 is conclusive. On the northeastern shore of the lake, close 

by the mouth of Mussel Slough, there is a group of tree stumps at an elevation of about 

200 feet. These were found at the water's edge in 1882. They presented the appearance of having been broken off at a height of 3 or 4 feet above ground. They were well 

preserved and must have been under water for nearly 30 years succeeding the high 

stage of the lake of 1853. These stumps are a remnant of a grove of willow trees, 100 

or more, some of which had grown to a diameter of 4 feet. It would not have been 

possible for these trees to attain such growth if the lake had not been at a low stage for 

many years in succession at some time preceding 1853. Moreover, Indian tradition is 

said to indicate a time when the lake was contracted to two ponds, between which a 

passage from the east to the west side of the valley was possible.
STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 21

For 25 years preceding 1898 the lake level was steadily lowered, in 

part as the result of the development of irrigation in the Tulare basin, 

but chiefly because of the light precipitation in the tributary drainage 

basins. During this entire period and particularly during the several 

years immediately preceding 1898 th^ precipitation was generally 

below the normal. In that year the lake bed became practically 

dry and, after partly refilling in 1901, in 1905 it became completely 

dry. As the water receded, a constantly increasing area of exceedingly fertile land was uncovered. From time to time this land was 

leveed on the lake side and cultivated, and in the early, spring of 1906 

the entire lake bed was under cultivation.

On March 15,1906, the first water of the season reached the lake bed 

at the mouth of Kings Kiver and began to spread out over a large area 

of bottom land on which stood a crop of wheat almost matured; a few 

days later water from Kaweah and Tule rivers entered the lake bed, 

rapidly submerging an increasingly large area of wheat fields; on 

June 1 the water was 7 feet deep and covered about 200 square miles; 

on June 23 overflow water from Kern River basin cut through the 

sand ridge-to the south and flowed into the lake, which for a few 

days afterward rose at the rate of 0.2 foot a day; on August 4 the 

water reached its greatest height for the year 1906, and the lake had 

an area of about 300 square miles and a maximum depth of 12.7 feet; 

the total rise of the lake in 1906 was 10.8 feet; after this date the 

lake level slowly subsided until December 9, then a rise began 

which continued until July, 1907, when the lake attained a maximum depth of 14 feet; since this date it has been gradually 

subsiding.

The lake bed resembles a large flat saucer; the flat, level area in 

the bottom is approximately 180 feet above mean sea level and covers 

about 55 square miles. The lowest point of the crest of the Kings 

River delta reached at the north is about 30 feet higher than the 

bottom of the lake. The lake basin will not overflow naturally until 

the lake has a maximum depth of nearly 30 feet and an area of nearly 

1,000 square miles. Though classed as a tributary of the San Joaquin, 

the lake has sent no water to that stream since about 1876. l

KERN RIVER.

Kern River rises in glacial lakelets among the high peaks of the 

Sierra divide and on the Kings-Kern and Great Western divides. It 

flows directly southward about 70 miles, then southwestward to the 

mouth of its canyon a few miles northeast of Bakersfield, where it 

enters the south end of San Joaquin Valley. No water from Item 

River has reached the San Joaquin in recent years. Its total length

i For summary of history of Tulare Lake see Water-Supply Paper U. S. Geol. Survey No. 222, p. 37.
22 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II. \

from its source to Bakersfield is about 140 miles. The drainage area 

above the valley rim is 2,570 square miles.

The basin is the largest and most southerly of all the areas tributary 

to the San Joaquin Valley from the Sierra; it extends farther east than 

any of the other basins, from which it differs also in that its axis trends 

north and south instead of east and west; it is long and comparatively narrow and lies west of the main high Sierra divide, but east of 

the secondary parallel crest called the Great Western divide, which 

separates it from the basins of Kaweah and Tule rivers and the 

southern foothill streams at the west. At the north it is separated 

from the Kings Kiver basin by a cross range about 15 miles long, 

known as the Kings-Kern divide.

Altitudes in the Kern River basin range from a few hundred feet at 

the mouth of the river's lower canyon to more than 14,000 feet on the 

headwaters. More than 50 of the peaks in the basin exceed 13,000 

feet in altitude, and many of the lakes which feed the upper stream are 

at an altitude of 11,000 feet or more.

Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the United States proper, 

towering 14,501 feet above sea level, overlooks the northern part of 

the Kern River basin from the east.

The principal tributary of Kern River is its South Fork. Above 

the point of confluence the two streams are about equal in length and 

drainage area and flow parellel to each other and to the marginal rims.

The basin is divided into two lesser basins by a ridge which extends 

northward from the junction of the South Fork with the main stream 

to an intersection with the Sierra divide near Trail Peak, about 12 

miles south of Mount Whitney. These two basins differ greatly in 

topography. The eastern basin is characterized by comparatively 

low, flat, and irregular hills, separated by many intervening meadows, 

large and small; it is drained by the South Fork. The western basin 

is characterized by high glaciated peaks and ridges and by deep canyons; it is drained by the main stream, which flows for a great part of 

its length through a narrow canyon. Kern River canyon proper is 

about 20 miles long, 1 mile wide at the top, and 1,500 to 2,000 feet deep. 

It begins at Junction Meadow, 7 miles west of Mount Whitney, at an 

altitude of 8,000 feet, and runs due south to Kern Lake. The bottom 

of the canyon is several hundred feet wide and the average gradient is 

100 feet to the mile. The main canyon is intersected Ijy short cross 

canyons, chiefly from the west. Above the junction of Kern River 

and South Fork the canyons broaden out into valleys of considerable 

size, especially on the South Fork; below the valleys, however,( the 

main stream again enters a rough canyon, whi6h it follows to its 

entrance into San Joaquin Valley.

The South Fork of Kern River rises on the western slope of the 

Sierra in the western part of T. 17 S., R. 35 E., Mount Diablo base and

meridian, 15 to 20 miles south of the headwaters of the main stream, 

at an altitude of 10,500 feet. It flows southward about 50 miles, then 

westward about 20 miles to its junction with the main stream at Isabella. The basin is characterized by comparatively low, flat, and 

irregular hills, separated by many intervening meadows. The runoff from this part of the Kern River basin is much smaller than that 

of the main branch. The basin of the South Fork affords many exce^- 

lent reservoir sites. The principal tributaries are Mulkey, Monache, 

Soda, Fish, Chimney, Kelso, and Fay creeks.

The mean annual precipitation in the Kern River basin as a whole 

is small, partly because of the position of the basin in the southern 

region of the Sierra, which receives less rainfall than the central and 

northern regions, and partly because it lies east of the Great Westeun 

divide, which intercepts the moisture-laden winds. In the southern 

part of the basin the precipitation is probably less than 10 inches 

annually; in the central part it may range from 10 to 17 inches. . Fully 

80 per cent of the total summer flow of the river at the mouth of its 

canyon is derived from the precipitation on the mountain area which 

lies within 15 miles of the source of the river.

In the foothills region of the Kern River basin the natural vegetation consists of grass and brush. At altitudes between 3,000 and 

10,000 feet the soil supports timber and underbrush; at altitudes of 

10,000 feet, however, the area is practically devoid of timber. The 

entire basin is included in national forest reserves.

TITLE RIVER.

Tule River drains a small, somewhat rectangular area lying south 

of the Kaweah River basin, west of the Kern River basin, and north of 

the Deer Creek basin. Its length north and south averages about 25. 

miles and its width averages about 15 miles. The total drainage area 

above the rim of the valley is about 370 square miles. 

1 Tule River rises at an altitude of about 9,000 feet above sea level. 

The main stream is formed by the junction of North and Middle 

forks about 1 mile above Daunt post office and about 15 miles northeast of Portersville. It takes a southwesterly course to the point 

where it leaves the foothills about 5 miles east of Portersville, and 

has a length of about 30 miles. South Fork joins the main stream 

about 8 miles below Daunt. The flood water passes westward 

through old channels in the river's alluvial fan to Tulare Lake, whicfr 

it enters south of Corcoran.

KAWEAH RIVER.

Kaweah River drains an area comprising about 715 square miles, 

lying on the western slope of the Sierra in the northern part of Tulare 

County, south and west of the Kings River basin, north of the Tule 

River basin, and west of the upper Kern River basin.
24 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

The main stream is formed 10 or 15 miles above the head of its delta 

by the confluence of North, Middle, and South forks, which rise in 

numerous small lakes nestling among high peaks on or near the divide, 

at an altitude of about 12,000 feet above sea level, and its course is 

southwestward throughout its length. Below the foothills it divides 

into several distributaries which cross the delta fan and enter Tulare 

Lake near Corcoran. Its total length above the delta is about 45 

miles.

KINGS RIVER.

Kings River drains an area comprising about 1,840 square miles, 

lying on the western slope of the Sierra, south of the upper San 

Joaquin basin and north of Kaweah ancf upper Kern basins.

The main stream is formed well up in the mountains by the confluence of the North, Middle, and South forks, which rise in numerous 

glacial lakelets nestling at the foot of glaciers and perpetual snow 

banks which protrude frorq. the summits of high peaks on and near 

the crest of the Sierra. It flows southwestward to the mouth of its 

canyon, about 10 miles northeast of Sanger, and across its delta fan 

to the trough of San Joaquin Valley, about 6 miles west of Leimoore. 

From this point most of the low-water flow passes northwestward 

through Kings Slough to San Joaquin River about 3 miles north of 

Mendota, but most of the flood flow passes southward to Tulare Lake. 

The total length of the river from its source to the mouth of its canyon is about 85 miles. Besides the three forks and their tributaries, 

the other principal tributaries are Dinkey and Big creeks from the 

north and Mill Creek from the south.

FRESCO RIVER.

Fresno River rises on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, in the 

Sierra National Forest, near the headwaters of the South Fork of 

Merced River and flows in general southwestward, but its waters 

reach the San Joaquin only during the high-water season. At other 

times the excess water not used for irrigation sinks in the sand of 

the river channel near Madera.

The principal tributaries, all small except during the rainy season, 

are Lewis Fork, North Fork, China, Crooks and Coarse Gold creeks 

in the foothills, and Willow Creek, which joins the main river below 

Madera.

Near the head of the river is a grove of big trees (Sequoia gigantea) 

known as the Nelder or Fresno grove.

Water is diverted from the headwater streams to feed the Madera 

Sugar Pine Lumber Co.'s flume, which is used to float lumber to 

Madera. Irrigation ditches take water at an altitude of about 4,500 

feet, in the vicinity of Miami Mills, but only a small amount of water 

is used until the stream reaches the fertile valley land in the vicinity
STEEAM MEASUKEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. '25

of Madera. A part of the flood waters could be stored by constructing 

a reservoir at Windy Gap near the mouth of Crooks Creek. The river 

below this point has considerable fall and power development is 

practicable.

MEECED EIVEE. '

The drainage basin of Merced River lies on the western slope of 

the Sierra, north of the upper San Joaquin basin and south of the 

Tuolumne basin. It does not extend so far east as the other two 

basins, and it touches the Sierra divide in only one point Mount 

Lyell (elevation, 13,090 feet) which is common to the three basins. 

The mountainous part of the basin lies almost wholly in Mariposa 

County; the foothill and valley parts' are in Merced County. The 

basin is about 65 miles long from the rim of the valley to the crest 

and 20 to 25 miles wide, and its total area above the valley border 

is about 1,200 square miles.

Merced River has its source in numerous small glacial lakes in the 

region about Mount Lyell and flows southwestward to its junction 

with the lower San Joaquin, about 5 miles northeast of Newman. 

It has a total length of about 135 miles, two-thirds of which is in the 

mountains. Its chief tributaries are Tenaya and Yosemite creeks 

from the north and Illilouette and Bridal Veil creeks and South Fork 

from the south.

TUOLUMNE EIVEE.

Tuolumne River drains an area on the western slope of the Sierra, 

north of the Merced basin and south of the Stanislaus basin. For a 

distance of about 50 miles the Sierra divide separates this basin from 

Mono Lake and Walker River basins to the east. The length of the 

basin is about 105 miles, two-thirds of which is in the mountains. 

The total area of the mountainous part of the drainage basin is about 

1,680 square miles almost wholly in Tuolumne County.

The Tuolumne rises in numerous glacial lakes on or near the Sierra 

divide and flows southwestward to its junction with the San Joaquin, 

10 miles west of Modesto. Its principal headwaters come from the 

glacier and lakes on the northern slope of Mount Lyell to the north 

and east of the headwaters of Merced River. The course of the river 

is through beautiful upland meadows in its upper part, then through 

a canyon nearly 80 miles long, which has been cut out of solid granite. 

The upper part of this canyon, for a distance of about 25 miles, is 

from 3,000 to 4,000 feet deep, and is known as the Grand Canyon of 

the Tuolumne. At the lower end of the Grand Canyon is Hetch 

Hetchy Valley, which is smaller than Yosemite Valley but in every 

other way resembles it very much. Finally the river passes through 

the lower canyon into the San Joaquin Valley, which it enters near 

Lagrange. Its total length is about 150 miles.
26 WATEE BESOTTBCES OF CALIFOBNIA, PAET II.

Nearly all the tributaries of Tuolumne River enter from the north. 

In order from east to west, the principal ones are Return, Rancheria, 

Falls, and Cherry creeks, Clavey River, North Fork of Tuolumne 

River, and Woods Creek. Eleanor Creek is tributary to Cherry 

Creek. South Fork of Tuolumne River is tributary to ,the main 

stream from the south. Middle Fork is tributary to South Fork.

STANISLAUS EIVEE.

Stanislaus River drains a long, narrow basin lying on the western 

slope of the Sierra, north of the Tuolumne basin, south of the Calaveras and Mokelumne basins, and west of the Walker Rivjer basin, 

from which it is separated for. a distance of about 25 miles by the 

Sierra divide. The length of the basin from the valley rim to the 

crest of the divide is about 75 miles; its width averages about 12 

miles in the foothills and less than 25 miles near the eastern border. 

North Fork above and the main stream below form the boundary 

between Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. The total drainage area 

above the valley is about 950 square miles.

Stanislaus River has its source in small glacial lakes and on high 

peaks of the Sierra divide, and flows southwestward to its junction 

with the lower San Joaquin about 15 miles west of Modesto. It has a 

total length of about 120 miles, of which about 80 miles is in the 

mountains, and 40 miles in the valley. The main stream is formed 

by the confluence of its three principal forks heading well back in the 

mountains. Middle Fork, the largest and most important, unites 

with North Fork about 12 miles north of Sonora and 30 or 35 miles 

above the valley rim; South Fork joins the main stream about 8 

miles below the junction of North and Middle forks.

CALAVEEAS EIVEE.

Calaveras River is formed near San Andreas, in Calaveras County, 

by the, confluence of its North and South forks. The South Fork, 

which drains the larger area and is here considered the continuation 

of the main stream, rises on the east slope of Harmon Peak, in the 

southern part of T. 2 N., R. 12 E., Mount Diablo base and meridian, 

at an altitude of 2,000 feet, and flows in general northwestward 13 

miles to its junction with the North Fork, from which the main 

stream flows southwestward, uniting with the San Joaquin a few 

miles west of Stockton. Its total length is about 80 miles 35 

miles in the valley and 45 miles in the mountains. The total drainage area above the border of the San Joaquin Valley is about 500 

square miles.

The basin is almost wholly a foothill region; the highest point is 

6,000 feet in altitude, but only a very small part exceeds 4,000 feet. 

The hills are low and separated by small irregular valleys.
STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 27

In the lower foothills the vegetation consists of grass, brush, and 

scrubby timber, chiefly oak; the upper part of the basin supports a 

heavy growth of timber. The Calaveras grove of big trees (Sequoia 

gigantea) is partly in this basin and partly in the Stanislaus basin to 

the south.

The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 15 inches in 

the valley to 22 inches in the low foothills and 35 or 40 inches in the 

upper part of the basin; the little snow that falls in this area quickly 

disappears.

The river is torrential in winter and dry for a few months during 

the summer. It is not especially suitable for irrigation unless assisted 

by storage.

MOKELUMNE AND COSUMNES RIVERS.

The Mokelumne River basin lies on the western slope of the Sierra, 

north of the Calaveras and Stanislaus River basins and south of 

American River basin. Strictly speaking the area drained by Cosumnes River and several other small tributaries which enter many 

miles west of the valley border should be considered a part of the 

Mokelumne basin, but this area contributes nothing to the flow of 

Mokelumne River above the lower Sacramento and San Joaquin 

delta region. The total area of the basin above the valley rim, 

exclusive of that drained by the Cosumnes, is about 640 square miles.

The Mokelumne rises in glacial lakelets in Alpine County at an 

altitude ef nearly 10,000 feet, and flows southwestward to its junction with the lower San Joaquin, about 25 miles northwest of Stockton. 

It has a total length of about 140 miles, of which approximately 90 

miles is in the mountains. For the greater part of its coiirse it forms 

a boundary between Amador County on the north and Calaveras 

County on the south. The principal branches are North, Middle, 

and South forks, which unite about 5 miles above Electra and nearly 

40 miles above the rim of the valley. Bear River is tributary to 

North Fork from the north.

STREAM FLOW.

FIELD METHODS.

The stream-flow data which make up the greater part of this report 

comprise (1) records of measurements of flow and of the fluctuation 

of stage (or gage height) at selected points or gaging stations, and 

(2) estimates of daily and monthly flow computed from these records.

Gaging stations are in general located at points where development 

is likely to take place. At most stations the relation between the 

water surface and points on a vertical or inclined staff or chain gage 

are recorded by local observers, but at some stations variation in 

stage is recorded by an automatic gage. The measurements of flow
28 WATEB BESOimCES OF CALIFOBNIA, PABT II.

are made by the engineers of the Geological Survey by means of a 

current meter (PI. IV), which is operated from a bridge, a car suspended on a cable, or a boat, or by wading, the method adopted 

depending on the location of the station (Pis. II and III).

By plotting the results of measurements, using the discharges and 

corresponding gage heights as coordinates, rating curves are drawn 

from which a rating table giving the flow for any gage height can be 

prepared. From these rating tables and the daily gage heights daily 

estimates of flow are computed.

More detailed description of the methods used in collecting and 

preparing these data for publication may be found in the introductory 

sections of Water-Supply Paper 271, "Surface water supply of California, 1909." *

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 become 

associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided 

into two groups: (1) Those which represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and run-off in second-feet 

per square mile, and (2) those which represent the actual quantity 

of water, as run-off in depth in inches and acre-feet. The units used 

in this series of reports are second-feet, second-feet per square mile, 

and run-off in inches and acre-feet. They may be defined as follows:

"Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second and is 

the unit for the rate of discharge of water flowing in a stream 1 foot 

wide, 1 foot deep, at a rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used 

as a fundamental unit from which others are computed by the use of 

the factors given in the following table of equivalents:

"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.

"Miner's inch" represents a rate of flow and varies in different 

States, as noted in the table of convenient equivalents (pp. 32-33). In 

California it was legalized by an act approved March 23, 1901, as onefortieth of a second-foot. Prior to the passage of this act the common 

usage was one-fiftieth of a second-foot. One fiftieth of a second-foot 

is still used in southern California. The act reads as follows:

SECTION 1. The standard miner's inch of water shall be equivalent or equal to one 

and one-half cubic feet of water per minute measured through any aperture or orifice.

SEC. 2. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent %vith the provisions of this act are hereby 

repealed.

SEC. 3. This act shall be in effect and force sixty days from and after, its passage.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would 

be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were 

conserved and uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for 

comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth 

in inches.

An " acre-foot" is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, andis the quantity 

required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. The term is commonly used in connection with storage for irrigation.

EXPLANATION OF DATA.

The order of treatment of stations in this paper is downstream. 

Records for all stations from the source to the mouth of the main 

stem of the river are-presented first, and records for the tributaries in 

regular order from source to mouth follow, all records for each tributary basin being given before those of the next basin below.

For each regular current-meter gaging station the following data, 

so far as available, are given: Description of station, list of discharge 

measurements, table of daily gage heights, rating tables or table of 

daily discharges, table of-monthly and yearly discharges and run-off.

In addition to statements regarding the location and installation 

of current-meter stations, the descriptions give information in regard 

to any conditions which may affect the constancy of the relation of 

gage height to discharge, covering such points as ice, logging, shifting 

channels, and backwater; also information regarding diversions which 

decrease the total flow at the measuring section. Statements are 

also made regarding the accuracy and reliability of the data.

The discharge-measurement table gives the results of the discharge 

measurements made during the year, including the date, name of 

hydrographer, gage height, and discharge in second-feet.

The table of daily gage heights records the daily fluctuations of the 

surface of the river as found from the mean of the gage readings taken 

each day. At most stations the gage is read in the morning and in 

the evening. The gage height given in the table represents the elevation of the surface of the water above the zero of the gage. All gage 

heights affected by the presence of ice in the streams, or by backwater 

from obstructions,\are published as recorded, with suitable footnotes. 

The rating table is not applicable for such periods unless the proper 

corrections to the gage heights are known and applied. Attention 

is called to the fact that the zero of the gage is placed at an arbitrary 

datum and has no relation to zero flow or the bottom of the river. In 

general, the zero is located somewhat below the lowest known flow, 

so that readings of negative values shall not occur.

The discharge measurements and gage heights are the base data 

from which rating tables, daily-discharge tables, and monthly-discharge tables are computed.
30 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

The rating table gives, either directly or by interpolation, the discharge in second-feet corresponding to every stage of the river recorded during the period for which it is applicable. It is not published in this report for the years 1909-1912, but can be determined from the daily gage heights and daily discharges for the purpose 

of verifying the published results as follows:

First plot the discharge measurements for the current and earlier 

years on cross-section paper with gage heights in feet as ordinates and 

discharge in second-feet as abscissas. Then tabulate a number of 

gage heights taken from the daily gage-height table for the complete 

range of stage given and the corresponding discharges for the days 

selected from the daily-discharge table and plot the values on crosssection paper. The last points plotted will define the rating curve 

used and will lie among the plotted discharge measurements. After 

drawing the rating curve, a table can be developed by scaling off the 

discharge in second-feet for each tenth foot of gage height. These 

values should be so adjusted that the first differences shall always 

be increasing or constant, except for known conditions of backwater.

The table of daily discharges gives the. discharges in second-feet 

corresponding to the observed gage heights as determined from the 

rating tables.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" 

gives the mean flow, as determined from the rating table, for the 

day when the mean gage height was highest. As the gage height is 

the mean for the day, it does not indicate correctly the stage when 

the water surface was at crest height and the corresponding discharge 

was consequently larger than given in the maximum column. Likewise, in the column of "Minimum" the quantity given is the mean 

flow for the day when the mean gage height was lowest. The column 

headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet for each second 

during the month. On this the computations for the remaining columns, which are defined on pages 28-29, are based.

ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPARATIVE

RESULTS.

The accuracy of stream-flow data 'depends primarily on the natural 

conditions at the gaging station and on the methods and care with 

which the data are collected. Errors of the first group depend on the 

degree of permanency of channel and of permanency of the relation 

between discharge and stage.

Errors of the second class are due, first, to errors in observation of 

stage; second, to errors in measurements of flow; and third, to errors 

due to misinterpretation of stage and flow data.

In order to give engineers and others information regarding the 

probable accuracy of the computed results, footnotes are added to
STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN.. 31

the daily-discharge tables, stating the probable accuracy of the rating 

tables used, and an accuracy column is inserted in the monthlydischarge table. For the rating tables "well defined" indicates, in 

general, that the rating is probably accurate within 5 per cent; 

"fairly well defined," within 10 per cent; "poorly defined" or 

"approximate" within 15 to 25 per cent. These notes are very 

general and are based on the plotting of the individual measurements 

with reference to the mean rating curve.

The accuracy column in the monthly-discharge table does not 

apply to the maximum or minimum nor to any individual day, but 

to the monthly mean. It is based on the accuracy of the rating, the 

probable reliability of the observer, and knowledge of local conditions. 

In this column A indicates that the mean monthly flow is probably 

accurate within 5 per cent; B, within 10 per cent; C, within 15 per 

cent; D, within 25 per cent. Special conditions are covered by 

footnotes.

Even though the monthly means for any station may represent 

with a high degree of accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the 

gage, the figures showing discharge* per square mile and depth of 

run-off in inches may be subject to gross errors which result from 

including in the measured drainage area large noncontributing districts or omitting estimates of water diverted for irrigation or other 

use, and they should, therefore, be considered as only approximate, 

particularly for periods of irrigation or of low water. For these 

errors it is as a rule not feasible to make adequate correction.

In general, the base data collected each year by the Survey engineers are published, not only to comply with the law, but also to 

afford any engineer the means of examining and adjusting to his own 

needs the results of the computations. The table of monthly discharge is so.arranged as to give only a general idea of the flow at 

the station and should not be used for other than preliminary estimates. The determinations of daily discharge allow more detailed 

studies of the variation in flow by which the period of deficiency may 

be determined.

It should be borne in mind that the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw new light on data already collected and published, and the engineer who makes use of the figures 

presented in these papers should verify all ratings and make such 

adjustments for earlier years as may seem necessary.

STREAM GAGING BY THE STATE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

OF CALIFOBNTA.

The work of the State Engineering Department of California from 

1878 to 1884, carried on under the direction of William Ham. Hall, 

to ascertain the quantity of water available for irrigation, deserves 

special mention, as the results form a large part of this report.

The published data l comprise brief descriptions of the streams and 

the computations of monthly discharge for each station from November, 1878, to October, 1884. Unfortunately none of the base data 

the records of discharge measurements and daily gage heights were 

available when this report was prepared, so that the relative accuracy 

of the results 2 can not be precisely determined. The following statements are based on the descriptive matter and general discussion of 

methods contained in "Physical data and statistics of California" 

(1886), the "Report of the commissioner of public works to the 

governor of California" (1895), and the Twelfth Annual Report of 

the United States Geological Survey.

Apparently the methods followed for some of the larger streams 

during the earlier years were similar to those at present used by the 

United States Geological Survey. Gages were established and read 

daily and the relation of gage height to discharge was determined by

i Hall, W. H., Physical data and statistics of California, 1886.

8 Daily discharge and gage-height hydrographs are published in Part II of the Twelfth Annual Report 

of the United States Geological Survey.

discharge measurements; or, where the range of stage was not sufficiently well covered by discharge measurements, by the use of Kutter's formula. For most of the smaller streams, however, owing 

to their relatively smah1 importance and also to lack of funds, the 

results given are only approximate estimates based on the discharge 

per square mile of streams in near-by drainage areas and probably 

also on consideration of precipitation records, where available, and 

the various physical factors influencing stream flow. From November, 1882, to October, 1884, also, all records of discharge were computed by this.latter method, except those of Kings Elver at Slate 

Point. The following table of run-off per square mile indicates the 

relative degree of accuracy of these records. Figures in bold-face 

type represent values determined from daily gage readings and discharge rating curves; all other figures represent incomplete records 

or records derived from the mean flow as estimated from run-off of 

near-by drainage areas.

40 WATER RESOUECES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

On the larger streams in the San Joaquin basin many measurements were made by current meter. On the smaller streams some 

were made with subsurface floats, but probably by far the greater 

number were made with surface floats well distributed across the 

stream, using a coefficient of 0.90, and carefully determined cross 

sections. These measurements were evidently made with great 

care and doubtless yield results quite as accurate as could be 

expecte'd at the present time by the same methods. The discussions 

of the work indicate that the engineers in charge fully appreciated 

the sources of error involved in making the discharge measurements 

and properly allowed for them.

The determinations oi the monthly discharge, however, involve 

large errors and the results should be used with caution unless they 

are fully confirmed by the later work of the survey and other 

special studies.

Every effort was apparently made to select good gaging sections, 

but there are relatively few places in California where the relation 

of gage height to discharge is permanent. Measurements were not 

made frequently enough to eliminate from the final results the errors 

due to changes in channel, and at most of the stations rating curves 

developed within a relatively short period were used in conjunction 

with gage heights to determine the discharge in other years. The 

amount of error involved in such methods depends wholly on the 

permanency of relation of gage height to discharge. The seriousness of errors of this sort is illustrated by the work on Kings River 

and San Joaquin Eiver, presumably two of the most important 

stations. The gages at these stations are the same as those used in 

later years and both were located at points where changes in conditions of flow amount to 100 per cent or more at extreme low and 

medium low stages. The poor records obtained at both these points, 

even with frequent discharge measurements, led the Geological 

Survey to abandon the stations more than 10 years ago.

It should, however, be stated in this connection that "allowances 

for seasonal scouring and silting up of channel beds have been 

made" where not mentioned in the station descriptions "as also other 

influences * * *." So far as can be learned this allowance was 

frequently based on measurement of cross-sectional area without 

the measurement of velocity and would therefore be of doubtful 

value. Here again lack of data prevents adequate discussion of 

accuracy.1 The station descriptions taken from " Physical data and 

statistics of California" indicate that the records of discharge of San 

Joaquin and Bangs rivers were among the best collected by the 

State Engineering Department, and yet records collected later by that

1 See also station descriptions for San Joaquin River at Hamptonville and Herndon and Kings River at 

Slate Point and Kingsburg, pp. 51,53,175, and 177.

r

department in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey 

at the same places clearly indicate that they were inferior even for 

determining approximately the stream flow.

Another possible source of error is involved in the addition of the 

discharge of canals taking out water above certain of the stations 

in order to determine the natural discharge of the streams as they 

leave the foothills above all diversions.

By far the most serious error arose from determining the discharge by means of estimates of run-off per square mile of near-by 

drainage areas. Many similar comparisons made throughout the 

United States show that although the total yearly discharge for 

several years may be approximately correct, the records of monthly 

discharge are liable to large errors even under the most favorable 

conditions, owing to the many unknown and variable conditions 

governing stream flow. Add to the natural uncertainties of this 

method of determining the discharge the known large errors existing 

in such records as those of Kings River at Slate Point and the San 

Joaquin at Hamptonville, which were used to determine the estimated discharge, and it can readily be seen that the figures should 

be used with caution and with liberal allowance for safety. Particularly is this true for records ior the period from November, 1882, 

to October, 1884, when the only gage record available was the very 

poor one at Kingsburg, transferred to Slate Point. It is probable 

also that no discharge measurements were made at this station 

during this period. Yet this record was used to determine the 

discharge of the principal streams in the whole San Joaquin basin.

The above discussion of accuracy must not be considered as an 

adverse criticism of the earlier work. Its sole'purpose is to point 

out the probable errors and draw a sharp line of distinction between 

the relative value of the earlier and the later results. Probably 

some of the early records equal the best records of the present day, 

but as no base data are available it is impossible to discriminate 

between the good and the poor records.

The work of the State Engineering Department of California is 

extremely creditable in view of the small fund available, the large 

territory covered, the purpose of the records, and the state of knpwledge of river hydraulics at that time. The total absence of records 

of stream flow of any kind in the San Joaquin basin made any work 

valuable at that time, even the results of 1883-84 being of great 

importance. The later work of the engineering department and 

the Geological Survey, however, has made available accurate and 

complete records of discharge for most of the streams.

Some of the published descriptions of stations maintained by the 

State do not clearly indicate where the work was done. For most 

streams, however, the published results are intended to show the
WAtEB RESOURCES OP CALIFORNIA, PART II.

discharge above all diversions at the point where the river issues 

from the foothills.

Records obtained by the State, at stations later maintained at the 

same location in cooperation with the Survey, are separated from the 

later records. Recent maps show that early estimates made of certain drainage areas were based on inaccurate maps, but no change 

has been made in these estimates because any correction would 

involve changes in many estimated values, and because the records 

are not important enough to warrant a change. No change has been 

made, in the climatologic year adopted by the State Engineering 

Department November to October.

Footnotes to the various tables serve to separate estimated from 

computed monthly means. In general maximum and minimum 

values are omitted from estimated means.

STATION RECORDS. 

SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR NORTH JFORK, CAL.

This station is located a short distance below the power house of 

the San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation, in sec. 18, T. 9 S., R. 

23 E., about 6 miles below the mouth of North Fork of San Joaquin 

River and 6 miles southeast of North Fork.

The gage-height record is obtained by a Watson water-stage register located about 1,000 feet below the power house.

The channel is composed of bowlders and gravel and appears 

permanent.

Discharge measurements are made from a car and cable near the 

gage.

Storage has been developed at the Crane Valley reservoir.

The records of daily discharge were furnished by the San Joaquin 

Light & Power Corporation.

SAN JOAQUIN KIVEE, NEAR FRIANT, CAL.1

This station, which is located in the SE. £ sec. 34, T. 10 S., R. 21 E., 

at the Fort Miller ranch house, about 4 miles above the town of Friant, 

was established October 18, 1907.

No important tributaries enter near the station. Some storage and 

power are developed above the station and the entire flow of the 

stream is controlled by existing water rights, involving all irrigable 

lands tributary to San Joaquin River.

The staff gage is in two sections on the left bank; no change has 

been made in the gage datum since the station was established. 

' Discharge measurements are made from a cable near the gage.

Conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data are fair. At low 

stages the current is very sluggish, but at such times check measurements can be made from the bridge at Friant. The channel is subject 

to slight changes which may somewhat affect the accuracy. 

i The record may be considered excellent.

STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQTJIN BASIN. 51

SAN JOAQTJIN RIVER AT HAMPTON VILLE, 1 CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of 

San Joaquin, collected by the State Engineering Department of 

California, has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics 

of California," by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The points of observation were at Hamptonville (formerly Jones's 

store), at the edge of the valley, and at the railroad crossing near 

Sycamore (now Herndon). Discharge measurements and special 

examinations were made many times during the period from 1878 

to 1884 at both of these places. A good record of gage heights was 

kept at the railroad bridge from 1879 to 1882,2 and a similar record 

at Hamptonville for one season. The results were determined from 

a discharge rating curve supplemented by estimates based on the 

relative discharge per square mile of the San Joaquin and nearby 

drainage areas. During the period covered by the table practically 

no water was diverted from the stream above the lower station. The 

results of the data at that point admitted of direct application to the 

upper station, no account being taken of loss or gain in the river 

channel, which is known not to be large. The records are said to be 

"worthy of full reliance for all purposes of a water-supply study for 

the period covered." 3

STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 53

SAN JOAQUIN EIVEE AT HERNDON, CAL.

This station is at the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge about 12 

miles northwest of Fresno and 20 miles below Friant.

In 1879 the engineering department of the Southern Pacific Co. 

set a staff gage on the old trestle bridge, which was used for the regular 

gaging station established at the beginning of 1895. In 1899 thg 

trestle was replaced by a steel bridge, to the center pier of which 

a new staff gage was attached at the datum of the old gage. Meter 

measurements were discontinued at the end of 1902, because of the 

continual change in the section caused by shifting sand. Since that 

date only a gage record has been kept.

Gage heights published below for 1891-1894 and 1902-1909 should 

be used with caution. Since 1909 gage heights have been omitted 

from the regular reports, for unless frequent meter measurements are 

made the use of the gage heights in the determination of discharge 

is liable to lead to grave errors.

The following gage records have been furnished through the courtesy of employees of the Southern Pacific Co. Discharge records published below are approximate.

SAN JOAQUIN EIVER NEAR NEWMAN, CAL.

This station, which is located at the drawbridge on the Hills Ferry 

road, in the SW. | sec. 3, T. 7 S., K. 9 E., 300 feet below the mouth 

of Merced Kiver and 3| miles northeast of Newman, was established 

April 29, 1912.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to the pier support of draw span.

The bed of the stream is composed of sand and probably shifts 

somewhat.

Discharge measurements are made from the drawbridge.

Water is diverted above the station for use in power development 

and in irrigation.

The station is maintained only during the low-water season.

Estimates of daily and monthly discharge are withheld until additional measurements can be made.

Record of gage heights and discharge measurements has been furnished through Frank Adams, irrigation manager, Office of Experiment Stations, United States Department of Agriculture.

TULARE LAKE IN KINGS COUNTY, CAL.

During 1906 and a part of 1907 a record of the stage of Tulare Lake 

was kept by means of a Government staff gage located near the 

entrance of Kings River near Lemoore, Cal., at the middle of sec. 4, 

T. 21 S.; R. 20 E., M. D. B. and M. The zero of the gage was at an 

elevation of 175.1 feet above mean sea level, or 4 feet below the bottom of the lake (elevation 179.1 feet). On May 11, 1907, a staff gage 

was set near Corcoran, Cal., referred to the same datum and used 

until July 30, 1909.

On July 28, 1910, a vertical staff gage in two sections was installed 

on the section line just south of the corner to sees. 27, 28, 33, and 34, 

T. 20 S., R. 20 E., about 10 miles south of Lemoore near Stratford 

post office. The datum on this gage is 171 feet above sea level.

All published gage records have been reduced to show the actual 

depth of the water on the lowest point of the lake bed.

Below is the gage record,' showing the actual depth of the water in 

the lowest point of the lake bed.

Daily gage height, in feet, of Tulare Lake in Kings County, Cal., for 1906-1912.

was moved downstream to a point below the intake of this canal in 

the SE. i sec. 33, T. 25 S., R. 33 E. The discharge of the power 

canal is added to that determined at this station to give the total 

flow of the river at this point.

Several small ditches divert water for irrigation above the station.

The records of daily discharge for this station were furnished by 

the Kern River Power Co., through G. O. Newman, chief engineer.

NOTE. Monthly discharges were computed by engineers of the United States Geological Survey. Discharge interpolated on the following days:

Jan. 27, Feb. 19, Mar. 13, June 1, Aug. 6, 27, Oct. 20, 29, and Dec. 21, 22,1905; May 22, Oct. 6 and 22,1906; 

Mar. 15-28, Apr. 18 and 19,1907; Jan. 25, 26, June 1, Aug. 27, Sept. 7,11, and Dec. 2,1908; Feb. 15,19, Oct. 

23, 30, Dec. 24 and 28-31,1910; Feb. 27, Mar. 11, Aug. 4,16, Sept. 12, Oct. 30, Nov. 12 and 19, 1911.

Discharge estimated Mar. 15,1906, Apr. 18-19,1907, and Jan. 1-3,1910, from the discharge at Bakersfleld.

KEEN RIVER AT ISABELLA, CAL.

This station was established October 5, 1910, at the wagon bridge 

about half a mile north of Isabella, in the SW. | sec. 17, T. 26 S., R. 

33 E.

Cowell Creek enters about 6 miles above and the South Fork joins 

the main river half a mile below the station. Several small canals 

take water for irrigation above Isabella. To determine the total discharge of the river it is necessary to add the flow of the Kern River 

Power Co/s canal. The intake of this canal is one-fourth mile below 

Kernville and abotit 3^ miles above the station.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a large cottonwood tree on 

the left bank. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge 

100 feet above the gage or by wading.

The right bank is high; the left bank is overflowed during extreme 

high water. The channel is composed of gravel and cobblestones and 

appears permanent.
STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 77

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

Estimates of daily and monthly discharge are fairly good.

KERN RIVER POWER CO.'s CANAL AT KERNVILLE, CAL.

The Kern River power canal diverts water from Kern River about 

half a mile below Kernville; it is about 10 miles long and is concrete 

lined, except where flume is required. The power house is located 

in the canyon at Borel, where the water is returned to the river. 

The power is transmitted to Los Angeles.

The gaging station, which is at the Beattie ranch, 1,000 feet below 

the intake of the canal and about three-fourths of a mile southwest of Kernville, was established January 1, 1910.

An automatic gage is fastened to the left bank at a short flume, 

and a vertical staff is located just below the flume in the concretelined section of the canal.

Discharge measurements are made in the flume at the automatic

Results are considered excellent.

The records of daily discharge are furnished by G. O. J^ewman, 

chief engineer of the power company.

KERN RIVER AT RIO BRAVO RANCH. CAL.

 The following information regarding records of discharge of Kern 

River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," by Wm. Ham. Hall.

Kern River has been measured [by the State engineer] chiefly at 

the Rio Bravo ranch station, just below the point where the stream 

issues from the mountain canyon and above all diversion canals in 

the valley about 12 miles above Bakersfield. A continuous record 

of gage heights was kept at this station from 1879 to July, 1882. 

For this period the discharge has been calculated from a discharge 

rating curve; for the remainder of the period, 1878 to 1884, the 

discharge was determined from estimates of precipitation and relative 

discharge per square mile.

KERN BITER NEAR BAKERSFIELD, CAL.

This station, which has been maintained by the Kern County Land 

Co. to furnish a basis for the equitable division of the water of Kern 

River between different appropriators, is located at the mouth of the 

lower canyon, about 5 miles northeast of Bakersfield, at what is 

known as the ' 'first point of measurement," in sec. 2, T. 29 S.; R. 28 E. 

It was established September 29, 1893, by Walter James, chief engineer of the Kern County Land Co.

No tributaries enter below the station and only a few unimportant 

ones for 50 miles above.

Water diverted for power development above the station is 

returned to the river. Except for local irrigation in the valleys 

around Kernville no water is diverted for irrigation above the station. 

Below the point of measurement, however, the total flow of the river, 

except at flood stages, is diverted by the Kern County Land Co. and 

the Miller & Lux interests, which own all the water rights on lower 

Kern River.

The gage height record is obtained by an automatic water-stage 

register. Discharge measurements are made from the footbridge near 

the gage.

Determinations, of daily discharge are published as furnished by the 

Kern County Land Co. through its engineer, A. K. Warren. Frequent 

discharge measurements are made and the record is excellent.

SOUTH FORK OF KERN RIVER NEAR ISABELLA, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge near Isabella, 

in the NW. | sec. 20, T. 26 S., R. 33 E., was established October 5, 

1910.

Fay Creek and Kelso Creek enter about 10 miles above the station 

and the South Fork joins the main river about half a mile below 

Isabella. The station is below all diversions and the low-water flow 

is entirely used for irrigation. Twenty-eight ditches, ranging in 

capacity from 8 to 40 second-feet, divert water from this stream for 

irrigation in South Fork valley. The upper ditches head about 20 

miles above the mouth of the river.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened'to the piling of the middle bent 

of the bridge.

Both banks are high and wooded and not subject to overflow.

The channel, which is composed of sand, is somewhat shifting and 

the current is moderately swift.

Discharge" measurements are made from the bridge.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimate of daily or monthly discharge has been prepared.

STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAW JOAQTJIN BASIN. 101

ERSKINE CREEK NEAR ISABELLA, CAL.

This station, which is located at the ford at the mouth of the 

canyon, 2£ miles above junction with Kern River, in the NE. I sec. 

9, T. 27 S., R. 33 E., 5 miles south of Isabella, was established February 7, 1911.

A small ditch diverts water for irrigation about 9 miles above the 

station.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a willow tree on the left bank, 

about 80 feet above ford.

The bed of the stream is composed of sand and gravel. At high 

stages the creek flows in two channels.

Discharge measurements are made by wading near the gage.

Records of gage heights and discharge measurements are furnished 

by the United States Forest Service.

CALIENTE CREEK AT BASE OF FOOTHILLS, KERN COUNTY, CAL.

Jhe following information regarding records of discharge of Caliente 

Creek, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

No discharge measurements were made on this creek, all estimates 

of discharge being derived from the discharge per square mile of 

other streams. The exposure of its basin is different and other causes 

combine to make the application of data obtained on similar streams 

further north not strictly applicable.

BASIN CREEK NEAR HAVALAH, OAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge on the CalienteHavalah road at the Rankin ranch, in Walker basin, about 10 miles 

southwest of Havalah, was established February 8, 1911.

The Kankin ditch diverts water above the station.

The drainage area above this point comprises 36.2 square miles.

The gage is a vertical staff on the left bank at the bridge.

The bed of the stream is composed of sand and gravel and will 

shift at high water.

Discharge measurements are made by wading below the bridge. 

Results are fair.

TEJON HOUSE CREEK AT TEJON RANCH HOUSE, CAL.

On January 1, 1895, a gaging station was established on Tejon 

House Creek at a small footbridge just north of the ranch house. 

At this point a section of the creek bed was measured at as 

frequent intervals as was convenient. It was found that a heavy 

flood in January had filled up the channel of the creek 2 feet, as is 

shown by the sections of January 1 and February 1, and that simple 

rod readings of height of water would not convey any true idea of 

discharge. It was therefore determined to measure the depth of 

water in the center of the creek with a hand rod at the 5-foot mark 

on the fridge. The observer standing at the 5-foot mark on the 

bridge measured the distance from bridge to bed and from bridge to 

water.

The channel of the creek was cleared of all brush and debris for a 

distance of 20 feet above and below the bridge. In this portion of the 

channel the creek is nearly straight and the flow fairly uniform. Velocities were measured by floats, which were dropped into the water in 

different parts of the channel and timed through a distance of at least 

20 feet. The mean velocity was taken as 70 or 80 per cent of the surface velocity, depending on the depth of water. On November 13,1895, 

the velocities were taken with a Haskell meter, and the mean velocity 

was then found to be 88 per cent of the surface velocity. K. N. 

Pogson, a voluntary observer, measured the depth of the stream about 

once a week and also whenever there was a decided change in the volume of discharge. After the bed of the creek is again filled, following 

the erosion by floods, it remains fairly constant in section.

The results given below can be considered only approximate.

SALT .AND SAN EMIGDIO CREEKS IN KEEN COUNTY, CAL.

Salt Creek lies west of Tejon House Creek. The drainage basin 

is similar to that of the others of this group. In area it covers 

35 square miles, as indicated by the Wheeler map. The discharge 

has not been measured, but it is small and spasmodic. To the west 

of Salt Creek, and also in the extreme southern limits of this valley, 

is San Emigdio Creek, which flows from the same group of mountains. Its usual summer discharge is reported on good authority to 

be about 3 second-feet. A flume has been placed in the bed of the 

creek and rated by the Kern County Land Co. A few orange groves 

are irrigated from this flume. The area drained is estimated to be 

54 square miles.

DEER CREEK AT HOT SPRINGS, CAL.

This station, which is located half a mile below Hot Springs post 

ffice in the Sequoia National Forest, and about 2£ miles above the 

aouth of Tyler Creek, was established October 7, 1910.
118 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a tree on the left bank of 

the stream, 100 feet above the highway bridge from which discharge 

measurements are made at high water.

The banks are high and there is but one channel at all stages. The 

channel is composed of sand, gravel, and bowlders, and conditions 

favor good results.

Several ranches divert a small amount of water from Deer Creek 

for irrigation, but as the amount of tillable land is small, the agricultural products are sufficient only to supply the local demand.

In the vicinity of Hot Springs hot sulphur water issues from several 

large springs which have become noted for their curative properties.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

NOTE. Daily discharge determined from a fairly well defined rating curve. Discharge interpolated on 

days in 1911 when the gage was not read except Jan. 22-23 and 30, and Feb. 2, which were estimated from 

the discharge of adjacent streams, and July 20-26, which were estimated from observer's statement that there 

was irrigation above the station July 20 to Aug. 5,1911.

TYLEE CEEEK NEAE JHOT SPEINGS, CAL.

This station; which is located Eblow the foot log at Thompson's

ranch, about 1J miles north of Hot

the

Springs, in the Sequoia National 

Forest, about 4 miles above junction with Deer Creek, was

established January 16, 1911.

Three small irrigation ditches dif ert water above the station.

The gage is a vertical staff on the) left bank 100 feet below the foot 

log, near the observer's house. j

The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and sand.

Discharge measurements are majde from the foot log above the 

gage or by wading. j

The gage-height record is furnished by D. B. Thompson.

Record of discharge measurements is furnished by the United 

States Forest Service. I

Estimates of daily and monthly discharge are withheld until addi-< 

tional measurements can be made. !

TITLE RIVER AT PORTERSVILLE, CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Tule 

River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from " Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall. ,

Observations on Tule River were made at a point about 5 miles 

above Portersville, but below the head of the Pioneer canal. A 

number of measurements and imperfect gage-height records and 

other occasional observations form the basis of determining the discharge of the stream for a small portion of the period 1878 to 1884. 

The discharge for the remainder of the period was determined by 

comparisons of discharge per square mile with near-by drainages. 

The approximately known quantity diverted from the river by the 

Pioneer canal has been added to the estimated discharge of Tule 

River to'give the quantity of water in the river at its point of entrance 

into the valley. These records are said "to average well with the 

estimates of discharge on other streams."

TULE EIVEE NEAE POETEBSVILLE, CAL.

This station, which is located in the NW. 1 NW. £ sec. 25, T. 21 S., 

R. 28 E., 100 feet below the wagon bridge near McFarland's ranch, 

about 1 mile above the mou'th of South Fork, about 6 miles east' of 

Portersville, and about 9 miles below the junction of North and 

Middle forks, was established April 8, 1901.

A few small irrigation ditches divert water above the point of 

measurement. Below the station canals divert water for use chiefly 

in irrigating citrus fruits in the vicinity of Portersville. The acquired 

water rights exceed the minimum flow of the stream.

The staff gage is in two sections on the right bank. No change has 

ever been made in the gage datum.

The cable was destroyed in the flood of January, 1909, and discharge measurements are now made from the bridge about 100 feet 

above the gage.

The channel is practically permanent and the velocity moderate.

Conditions favor accuracy of discharge data and results at this 

station are considered good, except that the high-water discharge of 

1902 is excessive.

NOTE. In 1907 the drainage area of Tule River near Portersville was revised from 437 to 266 square miles. 

Therefore the values published in this report will not agree with values published prior to the 1907 progress 

report.

BEAR CREEK NEAR SPRINGVILLE, CAL.

This station, which is located at the Bear Creek ranger station just 

above the mouth of Rancheria Creek, 2| miles above junction with 

North Fork of Tule River and about 6 miles northeast of Springville, was established January 23, 1911. 

A small irrigation ditch takes out about 300 feet above the station.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a sycamore tree on the 

right bank about 150 feet above the junction with Rancheria Creek.

The bed of the stream is composed of sand, gravel, and bowlders 

and is fairly permanent.

Discharge measurements are made by wading below the gage.

Record of gage heights and discharge measurements is furnished 

by the United States Forest Service.

SOUTH FORK OF TULE RIVER NEAR SUCCESS, CAL.

This station, which is located at the Indian school on the Tule 

Indian reservation, about 8 miles above junction with Tule River 

and 7 miles southeast of Success, was established October 10, 1910.

Rocky Creek enters about 2 miles above and the South Fork joins 

the main river about 10 miles below the gage. Thirteen small ditches, 

with an aggregate capacity of about 11 second-feet, divert water from 

the South Fork and tributaries above the station for irrigation on 

the reservation. The South Tule ditch heads about 4 miles below 

the station.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to an alder on the left bank 

directly opposite the Indian school.

Discharge measurements are made by wading at medium and low 

stages. A car and cable for high-stage measurements have not yet 

been installed.

The channel, which is composed of bowlders, is rough and probably permanent. The current is swift at medium and high stages. 

Both banks are high and wooded and not liable to overflow.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Office of Indian Affairs.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

KAWEAH RIVER AT WACHtTMNA HILL,1 CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Kaweah 

River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

i Located in see. 35, T. 17 S., B. 27 E.
140 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART H.

Several gaging stations were established on Kaweah River. Reliable records were obtained, however, only at the station near 1 

Three Rivers (at Homer's ranch). This point is above Limekiln and 

Horse creeks, tributaries of importance at some seasons. For a portion of the period 1878 to 1884 the discharge measurements and gage 

heights near Three Rivers afforded a basis for an estimate of flow for 

all ordinary stages. For high stages the discharge is determined from 

estimates of discharge per square mile of near-by drainage areas. The 

determined values were transferred to Wachumna Hill by adding an 

approximated discharge to allow for additional drainage area tributary below the point of measurement. The discharge given below 

is considered a fair approximation of the quantity of water entering 

the valley by the river and the creeks which enter its system in the 

plains.

KAWEAH RIVER NEAR THREE RIVERS, CAL.

This station, which is located in the SE. i sec. 27, T. 17 N., K. 28 E., 

about 1| miles southwest of Three Rivers post office and about one-' 

fourth mile back of J. O. Carter's ranch house on the wagon road from 

Lemon Cove to Three Rivers, about three-fourths of a mile below the 

junction of South Fork, and about 3 miles below the confluence of the 

North and Middle forks, was established April 29, 1903.

No important tributaries enter below the point of measurement.
142 WATEK KBSOUKCES OP CALIFOKNTA, PAKT H.

Some water is diverted above the station for power, particularly on 

Middle and East forks, but it is returned to the stream above Three 

Rivers. A few small ditches divert water for local irrigation and 

domestic uses in the small valleys above Three Rivers. The acquired 

water rights on this stream probably exceed low-water flow.

The data at this station are of particular value in connection with 

the reclamation of Tulare Lake, also in determining future irrigation 

and power development.

The staff gage, the datum of which has not been changed since the 

station was established, is in two sections.

Discharge measurements are made from a cable at the gage and 

by wading.

The conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data are fairly 

good. The stream is confined to its channel except at very high 

stages, when the right bank is overflowed somewhat. The bed, 

though composed of fine gravel and sand, is not subject to much 

change. The current is somewhat sluggish at very low stages and 

rather swift at high stages, though not excessively so.

The record may be considered fairly good.

STEEAM MEASUEEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 153

NOETH FOEK OF KAWEAH EIVEE AT KAWEAH, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge half a mile 

above Kaweah and about 2 miles above the junction with Kaweah 

River, was established October 12, 1910.

Sheep Creek enters 2| miles above and Manikin Creek one-fourth 

mile below the gage. Several small ditches divert water for irrigation above the station. The total amount of water used is estimated 

at about 20 second-feet.

The slightly inclined staff gage is fastened to the right abutment 

of the bridge from which discharge measurements are made.

Both banks are high and wooded and not subject to overflow. 

The bed of the stream is composed of rock and sand. At low water 

the current is sluggish at the bridge.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

SOUTH FORK OF KAWEAH RIVER NEAR THREE RIVERS, CAL.

This station, which is located on Mehrten ranch in the SE. J sec. 8, 

T. 18 S., R. 29 E., 500 feet above the mouth of Cinnamon Creek and 

4^ miles southeast of Three Rivers, was established September 18, 

1911.

Two small ditches divert water for irrigation above the station.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a large bowlder on the right 

bank.

The bed of the stream is composed of gravel and bowlders and is 

rough.

Until November, 1911, when the car and cable were installed, discharge measurements were made by wading above the gage.

KINGS RIVER AT SUSPENSION BRIDGE, CAL.

An effort was made in 1895 to establish a station on Kings Elver higher 

up in the foothills than previous stations, most of the other bridges in 

the valley being like the one at Kingsburg. (See p. 178.) Two trips 

were made during 1895 to Suspension Bridge, about 30 miles above 

Sanger, where the flume of the Sanger Lumber Co. crosses the river. 

At this point the conditions were hardly better than at Kingsburg, 

for although the river was comparatively confined and no canals were 

taken out above it, in times of high water the velocities were so high 

that it was difficult to handle the meter in the water, and the channel 

was badly broken with large bowlders. The bed of the stream was

KINGS EIVEE NEAE SANGEE. CAL.

This station, which is located in the NW. J sec. 8, T. 13 S., R. 24 E., 

about half a mile below the new highway bridge at Piedra, about 10 

miles northeast of Sanger and southwest of Red Mountain, was 

established September 3, 1895.

No tributaries enter below the station. Mill Creek enters from the 

south about 3 miles above the point of measurement. Big and 

Dinkey < creeks'enter from the north about 10 and 15 miles, respectively, above the station. The forks unite 20 or 25 miles above.

No water is diverted immediately above the place of measurement. 

Many miles above, however, a small quantity of water is diverted from 

tributary streams into a flume used for transporting 1 amber from the 

mountains to Sanger. The total flow of the river at low and moderate 

stages is diverted into irrigation canals only a short distance below 

the station. The acquired water rights greatly exceed the low-water 

flow.
158 WATEE EESOUECES OP CALIFOEETIA, PAET II.

The data are of value in considering irrigation, power, and storage 

development, and in studying the flood and reclamation problems 

of Tulare Lake.

Prior to April 18, 1903, an inclined staff gage was used. On this 

date a Friez automatic water-stage register was installed for obtaining 

gage heights at this station, because of the remarkable diurnal fluctuations of stage, especially during the spring and early summer when 

the snow is melting rapidly. Not uncommonly the weekly record 

sheet shows a notably regular sinusoidal curve indicating an hourly 

change and a daily range of nearly 2 feet. No change has ever been 

made in the gage datum.

Discharge measurements from a cable about 500 feet below the gage 

or by wading.

The conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data at this station 

are very good. The stream is confined to its channel at all stages 

and the current is never too sluggish nor too swift. The channel has 

a gravel bottom which changes a little from year to year.

The estimates of discharge for the early years are somewhat in 

error, particularly at high stages, for which the values given are 

much too high. For periods subsequent to 1904 the data are fairly 

good, although the high-stage discharges are still excessive.

NOTE. During the years of 1895,1897-1899, a drainage area of 1,775 square miles was used. The values 

for those years have not been recomputed.

KINGS KIVEK AT SLATE POINT,1 CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Kings 

River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

Many discharge measurements were made of Kings River at a 

number of points between Slate Point, 5 miles above Centerville 

(Kings River post office), where the river leaves the mountains, and 

Tulare Lake, about 65 miles below. The character of the channel of 

this stream at all available locations near the mountains or in the 

canyon did not admit of first-class observations. Thus, at Slate

i Slate Point is located about 3 miles above the intake of the Fresno canal and about 1J miles above the 

Intake of the Fresno and Kings River canal, in sec. 18, T. 13 S., B. 24 E., Mount Diablo base and meridian.
176 WATEE KESOTTKCES OF CALIFOKNIA, PAKT II.

Point, the upper station, where discharge measurements were made 

and the gage rod established, the discharge was affected in varying 

amounts by the alternate formation and washing away of bars of 

cobble stones and gravel immediately below. At the railroad bridge 

crossing south of Kingsburg 1 a good gage-height record has been 

kept for the entire period, and its results, with those of the discharge 

measurements, have afforded the data for what is believed to be a fair 

approximation of the actual water quantities which passed that point.2 

Between Kingsburg and the mountains a number of canals take from 

the river a quantity of water which at ordinary stages constitutes a 

large part of the total flow. These canals were repeatedly measured 

and gage records kept or observations made of their flow during one 

or more seasons, so that the total quantity diverted from the river is 

approximately known. This quantity has been added to the discharge determined at the Kingsburg bridge to determine the discharge 

delivered by the river into the valley at Slate Point. The methods 

employed throughout have been similar to those used for the San 

Joaquin.

KINGS KIVEK AT KINGSBURG, CAL.

This station was established in 1879 by the State engineer, at 

the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, 1 mile south of Kingsburg. 

No meter measurements have been made since 1898 except a low55547° WSP 299 12 12
178 WATEE RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

water measurement in 1902, because it- was found impossible to 

construct a satisfactory rating table, on account of the changes in 

gage heights caused by the raising and lowering of the head gate of 

the Peoples canal, which takes water from Kings River, a few miles 

below the gaging station, and the changes in river channel.

The gage is a vertical plank fastened to a bridge pier. It is at the 

same bridge and probably at the same datum as the one used by the 

State Engineering Department of California, 1878-1884.

Above this station the following canals are taken out:

The water is deep and the current slow.

The station was considered of interest and importance, owing to 

the extensive litigation over- the waters of the stream, the principal 

diversions from it occurring above the gaging station, and also to 

the fact that return water from the San Joaquin Valley is beginning 

to manifest itself in tho increased volume of this river between the 

upper and lower diversions.

The channel of the stream at this station is badly broken by the 

piers of the railroad bridge and of a wagon bridge immediately 

below. Because the section is so poor at this point, measurements 

of discharge during 1898 were made at a point known as "Clarks 

Bridge," which is approximately 2 miles above the railroad bridge 

and crosses with a single span. The water at Clarks Bridge is deep 

and in the low stages of the stream it has a very slow velocity. 

During the summer of 1898 this velocity was so slow that the meter 

would not act, consequently the stream was gaged by wading at a 

point a short distance above the railroad bridge. The measurements 

that were taken at the Kingsburg railroad bridge, at Clarks Bridge, 

and at the intermediate station where they were made by wading, 

were all referred to the Kingsburg gage.

Daily gage heights have been furnished through the courtesy of 

the Southern Pacific Co.

The estimates of discharge published below for 1896-97 are subject to considerable error. It is believed, however, that much of 

the discrepancy in the monthly means for Sanger and Kingsburg 

stations for these years is to be explained by the large diversions 

between them.

DINKEY CREEK NEAR OCKENDEN, CAL.

This station was established September 17, 1910, at the trail 

bridge at the Dinkey Creek ranger station, in the Sierra National 

Forest, in sec. 20, T. 10 S., R. 26 E., about 11 miles above the junction with North Fork of Kings River 9J miles southeast of Ockenden.

Rock Creek enters 3 miles above and Bear Creek 1'J miles below 

the gage. A small unnamed tributary joins the stream at Dinkey 

Meadows 100 feet above the station.

The vertical staff gage is on the right bank about 400 feet below 

the ranger's station.

Discharge measurements are made by wading at low and medium 

stages. A car and cable for making gagings at high water was installed October 1911.

There is but one channel at all stages, as both banks are high. 

The bed of the stream is composed of gravel and small bowlders and 

the current is swift. Conditions are fairly satisfactory for making 

accurate measurements.

BIG CREEK NEAR TOLLHOUSE, CAL.

This station, which is located at Hawk's mine, in the Sierra 

National Forest, in the SW. | sec. 27, T. 10 S., R. 25 E., 3J miles 

above the junction with Kings River, about 9 miles east of Tollhouse, was established March 21, 1911.

Two small ditches take water above the station. One of these is 

used to operate a small stamp mill and the water is returned to the 

creek below the gage. The other ditch is used for irrigation.

The gage is a vertical staff in two sections on the left bank near the 

observer's cabin.

The bed of the stream is composed of bowlders and solid rock and 

is apparently permanent.

Discharge measurements are made by wading above the gage.

The gage-height record is furnished by Ira F. Hawk.

Record of discharge measurements is furnished by the United States 

Forest Service.

STREAM MEASUBEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUTN BASIN. 191

RUSH CREEK NEAR OCKENDEN, CAL.

Rush Creek is tributary to Big Creek, which, enters Kings River in 

T. 12 S., R. 25 E.

This station, which is located at Peterson's sawmill, about 3 miles 

southeast of Ockenden, in the Sierra National Forest, was established 

September 22, 1910.

Taylor Creek enters 1 mile above the gage. No water is at present 

diverted for irrigation.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a large cedar tree, on the right 

bank, 200 feet above the wagon bridge. At high stages discharge 

measurements are made from the bridge; at low stages by wading 

above the gage.

Both banks are high and wooded and not subject to overflow. The 

channel is composed of sand and will shift at high stages.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

BIG CREEK NEAR SHAVER, CAL.

Big Creek rises on the Kaiser Ridge, in the Sierra National Forest, 

and flows southwestward to its junction with San Joaquin River, in 

sec. 27, T. 8 S., R. 24 E. Its rapid fall and storage possibilities make 

it an important power stream.

The daily discharge is computed from records obtained at a weir, 

101 feet long, located in sec. 28, T. 8 S., R. 25 E., about 5£ miles 

northeast of Shaver.

The following records of daily discharge, which include the flow of 

Pitman Creek, were furnished by the San Joaquin Light & Power 

Corporation, through G. O. Newman, chief engineer.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of Big Creek near Shaver, Cal.,for 1910-1912.

NORTH FORK OF SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR NORTH FORK, CAL.

North Fork of San Joaquin River enters the upper San Joaquin 

River from the north a short distance above Horseshoe Bend, in 

T. 9 S., R. 23 E. This station is just above the point where the 

stream empties into the Crane Valley reservoir. A small amount of 

storage is developed on the headwaters of North Fork. Water is 

also diverted into this drainage from Chiquito Creek.

The records of daily discharge were furnished by the San Joaquin 

Light & Power Corporation.

SOUTH FORK CREEK 1 NEAR NORTH FORK, CAL.

South Fork Creek rises on the west slope of the Chiquit Kidge, in 

the Sierra National Forest, and flows generally south to its junction 

with North Fork Creek.

The gaging station was originally located at the highway bridge 

at South Fork. On January 17, 1911, it was moved 1 mile downstream to the concrete weir just above the mouth, in the SE. J sec. 

19, T. 8 S., K. 23 E., 5 miles east of North Fork. The discharge is 

computed from the gage-height record, which indicates the head on a 

100-foot, broad-crested concrete weir. A Watson water-stage register is used and the weir rating is checked by current meter measurements.

Below the mouth of Browns Creek, about 6 miles above the station, water is diverted from South Fork Creek into Crane Valley 

reservoir.

The records of daily discharge were furnished by the San Joaquin 

Light & Power Corporation.

CRANE VALLEY RESERVOIR NEAR NORTH FORK, CAL.

Crane Valley reservoir was formed by constructing a dam on 

North Fork of San Joaquin Eiver in the E. £ sec. 26, T. 7 S., K. 22 E. 

The released water flows down the natural channel of the North Fork 

to a point just above the mouth of South Fork Creek, where it is 

diverted into the power canal.

The record of daily discharge, which was furnished by the San 

Joaquin Light & Power Corporation, shows the total inflow into this 

reservoir.

FEESNO EIVEE AT BASE OF FOOTHILLS, MADEEA COUNTY, OAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Fresno 

River, collected by the Sta^e Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The point of observation was at the head of the Fresno River 

Canal & Irrigation Co.'s canal, about 3 miles above the railroad crossing near Madera. A recor^ of gage heights was obtained for only 

one season. The figures iiji the following tables are hence mainly 

estimated from run-off froni near-by drainage area, and the results of 

one year's gage height record checked by occasional observations 

through the remainder of tie period. The results represent the discharge of the stream as it enters the valley part of its course.

FEESNO EIVER NEAE KNOWLES, OAL.

207

This station, which is located at Fresno Crossing, in the N. ^ sec. 15, 

T. 8 S., R. 20 E., about 6 miles northeast of Knowles, was established 

September 16, 1911.

Water is diverted above the station for irrigation and for use in 

lumbering.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a willow tree on the left 

bank about 100 feet above the bridge.

The bed of the stream is composed of small bowlders, gravel, and 

sand, and is fairly permanent.

Discharge measurements are made from a car and cable about 400 

feet below the gage.

NELDEE CREEK 1 NEAR FRESNO FLATS, CAL.

This station, which is located near the Salt Springs and Crane 

Valley highway bridge, in the SE. 1 sec. 36, T. 6 S., R. 21 E., Mount 

Diablo base and meridian, 1$ miles above the junction with Lewis 

Fork, and about 4 miles northeast of Fresno Flats, in the Sierra 

National Forest, was established September 23, 1910.

The station is below all important tributaries and above all diversions. Just above the bridge water is diverted to a flume feeder of 

the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Co.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to an alder on the left bank 

about 400 feet above the bridge. Discharge measurements are made 

by wading.

There is but one channel at all stages, as both banks are high. The 

bed of the stream is sandy and will shift at high stages.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

This station was established September 26, 1910, at the old mifl at 

the Miami Creek ranger station in the Sierra National Forest, 3 miles 

southwest of Sugar Pine and 35 miles northwest of Kaymond.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to an alder on the left bank 

about 200 feet north of the ranger's station.

Discharge measurements are made by wading.

The bed of the stream, which is composed of sand and small bowlders, 

is smooth. Both banks are high and wooded and will not overflow.

No gage heights were observed during 1910 and no estimates of 

daily or monthly discharge have been prepared. No discharge measurements made in 1911.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

CHOWCHILLA CREEK AT BASE OF FOOTHILLS, NEAR BUCHANAN, CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Chowchilla Creek, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, has been taken from "Physical data and statistics of California," by Wm. Ham. Hall. ;.

i JCnowo locally as Miami Creels;,
212 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART H.

The gaging station is at a point near Buchanan (about 15 miles east 

of Minturn), where a record of gage heights was kept for portions of 

the%period for which estimates were made. The flow of this stream 

is especially characterized by sudden short freshets, many of which 

passed down the creek bed without being recorded. A rating curve 

was determined from channel dimensions and slopes which, with the 

gage record, form the basis of the results given below,

MAEIPOSA CREEK AT BASE OF FOOTHILLS, MARIPOSA COUNTY, CAL.

The method of deteirnining the discharge of Mariposa Creek by the 

State engineering department of California is the same as and is 

included under the same heading as that for Bear Creek.1 The Bear 

Creek description, however, does not seem strictly applicable to 

Mariposa Creek, in view of the fact that the records for the latter are 

apparently estimates based on the discharge of Bear Creek, although 

it is possible that fragmentary gage-height records were obtained on 

Mariposa Creek.

BEAR CREEK AT BASE OF FOOTHILLS, MERCED COUNTY, CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Bear 

Creek, collected by the Engineering Department of California, has 

been abstracted from, "Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

Bear Creek is a small stream whose watershed does not extend 

back to regions of perennial snows. Its discharge is characterized 

by sudden rises after heavy rains, with periods of low flow intervening. The rating curve for this stream is based on cross-sectional 

dimensions and slope. For several seasons gage-height 1 records 

were obtained. For the remainder of the period 1878-1884 discharge 

was determined from ratios obtained by intercomparison of the discharges per square mile of near-by streams with Bear Creek.

i No information available regarding location of gage.

MERCED RIVER AT TOSEMITE, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge at Yosemite, 

about 2 miles below the mouth of Tenaya Creek and three-fourths 

of a mile above the mouth of Yosemite Creek, was established January 4, 1912. An incomplete record of stage of the Merced at this 

point was kept from July, 1904, to June, 1909.

The drainage area above the station comprises 236 square miles.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to the retaining wall on the 

left bank just below the bridge.

The bed of the stream is composed of small bowlders and gravel and 

will shift slightly at high stages.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the bridge.

The relation between gage height and discharge during the winter 

months is slightly affected by ice. The results are good.

Gage-height record has been furnished by officials of the Yosemite 

National Park.

NOTE. Discharge interpolated Dec. 12-31; 1906, and for days when gage was not read in March, 1907. 

For January, February, and October to December, 1907, and January and October to December, 1908, 

the mean of days when record was obtained was taken as the mean for the month. No allowance was 

made for possible ice conditions during the winter months.

MERCED RIVER NEAR MERCED FALLS, CAL.

This station, which is located in the NW. £ sec. 11, T. 5 S., K. 

15 E., about 2 miles above the dam at Merced Falls, was established 

April 6, 1901.

No important tributaries enter for 25 miles above or below the 

station.

The water diverted for power development above the station 

returns to the river. Below Merced Falls, however, the combined 

capacity of irrigating canals in the vicinity of Snelling exceeds the 

low-water flow. All acquired water rights above Merced Falls are 

for power or mining development.

The staff gage, the datum of which has not been changed since the 

station was established, is in several sections on the right bank.

Discharge measurements are made from a cable near the gage.

The flow at the station is doubtless somewhat affected at times by 

artificial regulation at some of the power dams, several miles above, 

but pondage from the dam at Merced Falls probably has no appreciable effect at the station. Both banks are high and rocky and not 

subject to overflow. The bed of the stream at the station is composed of gravel and is subject to some changes at high water. The 

velocity is also very great at flood stages.

The record is excellent for later years and fairly good for earlier 

years.

MERCED RIVER AT MERCED FALLS, CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Merced 

River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, 

has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," 

by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The station was located at Merced Falls, a point in the valley 

above all irrigation diversions. Discharge measurements were made 

at this station, also at McSwain's ferry" and at the Southern Pacific 

Railroad bridge at Livingston (formerly called Cressy). Daily gage 

heights were recorded for parts of the period at McSwain's ferry and 

at the railroad bridge. Occasional observations were made at other 

times. From these data the discharge was computed for much of the 

period, the remainder being obtained by the method of discharge per 

square mile. To these results have been added the discharges 

diverted by the canals, and thus the tabulated data indicate the 

quantity of water brought into the valley.

MERCED RIVER NEAR NEWMAN, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge in sec. 2, 

T. 7 S., R. 9 E., 4J miles northeast of Newman and 1 mile above the 

junction of Merced River with the San Joaquin, was established 

April 29, 1912.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a willow tree on the right 

bank 26Q feet above the bridge.

The bed of the stream is composed of sand, which probably shifts 

somewhat.

Discharge measurements are made from the highway bridge.

The station is maintained only during the low-water season; at 

high stages it is within the influence of backwater from the San 

Joaquin.

Record of gage heights and discharge measurements has been furnished through Frank Adams, irrigation manager, Office of Experiment Stations, United States Department of Agriculture.

Estimates of daily and monthly discharge are withheld until additional discharge measurements can be made.

TENAYA CREEK NEAR YOSEMITE, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge about If 

miles east of Yosemite and three-fourths of a mile above the junction of the oreek with Merced River, was established January 4, 

1912. Incomplete records of stage of the creek were kept from 

July, 1904, to June, 1909.
238 WATEK KESOUKCES OF CALIFOKNTA, PAET H.

The drainage area above the station comprises 47 square miles.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened near the left abutment on the 

upstream side of the bridge.

The bed of the stream is composed of small bowlders and gravel 

and is fairly permanent.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the bridge. ^

Relation between gage height and discharge during the winter 

months is probably slightly affected by ice.

The gage-height record is furnished by officials of the Yosemite 

National Park. Results are good.

a This table is applicable only for open channel. It is based on 11 discharge measurements made during 

1904-5. It is well denned between gage heights 3.3 feet and 6 feet.

6 This table is not applicable for obstructed channel. It is based on discharge measurements made during 1904 to 1906, and is well denned between gage heights 3.35 feet and 6.0 feet. Below 6.40 feet it is the 

same as the 1905 table.

c This table is not applicable for periods during which ice was present or channel was otherwise obstructed. 

It is based on eight discharge measurements made during 1907 and 1908 and the general form of the previous 

curve. It is fairly well denned above gage height 3.1 feet.

TOSEMITE GREEK AT YOSEMITE, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge about onefourth mile northwest of Yosemite and half a mile above the junction 

of the creek with Merced River, was established January 4, 1912- 

Incomplete records of stage of Yosemite Creek were kept from July 

1, 1904, to June, 1909.

The original gage was a vertical staff fastened to an alder on the 

right bank 50 feet above the bridge. On January 4, 1912, a new 

vertical staff was fastened to a cottonwood tree on the right bank 

25 feet above the bridge. The datum of the new gage is approximately the same as the original datum.

The bed of the stream is composed of fine gravel and sand. It 

shifts somewhat.

Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of 

the bridge.

The relation between gage height and discharge during the winter 

months is probably affected by ice.

Sufficient discharge measurements have not yet been made to define 

a rating curve for the station.

The gage-height record is furnished by officials of the Yosemite 

National Park.

NOTE. No estimate made 1906-1909, on account of shifting channel conditions.

SOUTH FORK OF MEECED RIVER AT WAWONA, CAL.

This station was established December 15, 1910, at the upper footbridge, opposite the United States military camp 1 mile below 

Wawona, in the SE. i sec. 33, T. 4 S., R. 21 E., in the Sierra National 

Forest.

Big Creek enters one-fourth mile above and Rush Creek threefourths of a mile below the station. The ranch of the Wawona Co. at 

Wawona is irrigated from a tributary of the South Fork.

The original gage, which was a vertical staff fastened to the center 

pier of the footbridge, was destroyed by high water January 30, 

1911. On August 22, 1911, a new gage was installed at an independent datum. It is a vertical staff fastened to an alder tree on 

the left bank, 250 feet below the former location. Measurements are 

made from a car and cable near the gage, or by wading.

The channel, which is composed of gravel and small bowlders, is 

straight for some distance above and below the station. The left 

bank is high; the right bank is more sloping. There is but one 

channel at all stages.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

BIG CREEK NEAR WAWONA, CAL.

This station, which, is located at the highway bridge on the old 

Madera-Yosemite toll road at Summerdale (an abandoned post 

office), in sec. 23, T. 5 S., R. 21 E., 4 miles south of Wawona, was 

established September 25, 1910.

Several miles above the station, water is diverted from Rush Creek, 

the principal tributary of Big Creek, for use in the flume of the 

Madera Sugar Pine Co. for floating lumber from Sugar Pine to Madera.
STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 249

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to the downstream end of the 

left abutment of the bridge.

At high stages discharge measurements are made from the bridge.

No gage heights were observed during 1910 and no estimates of 

daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

TTJOLUJilNE RIVER AT HETCH HETCHY VALLEY DAM SITE, CAL.

The entire drainage area of Tuolumne River above Lagrange is 

about 1,500 square miles, 452 square miles of which lies above 

the Hetch Hetchy dam site, which has an elevation of 3,630 feet 

above sea level. This upper drainage area consists of high granite 

mountains culminating in Mount Dana, Mount Gibbs, and Mount 

LyeU.

A gaging station was established at this point May 30, 1901, by 

J. B. Lippincott for the city of San Francisco, and the following 

meter measurements and gage heights are given by the courtesy of 

Mr. C. E. Grunsky, former city engineer.

TUOLUMNE RIVER AT LAGRANGE, CAL.

This station was established August 29, 1895, at the wagon bridge 

at Lagrange, about 2 miles below the Lagrange dam and the headworks of the Turlock and Modesto canals, and half a mile below the 

power house of the Lagrange Water & Power Co. Since April 1, 

1908, except September 25 to December 5, 1908, the station has been 

maintained at the dam, and flow has been determined by considering 

the dam as a weir.

Woods Creek unites with the main stream from the north about 

20*miles above Lagrange. No other tributaries of importance enter 

near the station.

Three important diversion systems now take water from Tuolumne 

River above Lagrange. The Turlock and Modesto canals take water 

at the Lagrange dam (PL VII, A) from the left and right banks, respectively, for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley. The Modesto canal 

was completed and jbut in operation April, 1903, and the Turlock 

canal was first used for irrigation purposes in 1899. The Lagrange 

Water & Power Co.'s canal takes water from the left bank 13 miles

above Lagrange. The diverted water is used chiefly for power 

development and all water so used is returned to the river below the 

dam. The original canal, known as the "Lagrange mining ditch," * 

usually carried from 10 to 30 second-feet of water, which was returned 

to the river both above and below the bridge station and above the 

measuring section in the river. No account was ever taken of this 

discharge. The old canal was rebuilt and enlarged and put in use 

' as a power canal in 1908. Water rights already acquired on this 

stream sire considerably in excess of the low-water flow. It is practically impossible to determine the minimum flow of the stream very 

closely because of the diversions. During the late summer and fall 

the power and irrigation canals take the total flow and no water 

passes over the dam for several months at a time. Regular stations 

are maintained on the three canals, but the minimum flow is appreciably a Efected by water that seeps around and through the dam and 

from th.0 canals.

The ^age at the dam is painted on a rock ledge on the right bank, 

80 feet above the dam. The zero of the gage is at the average elevation of the crest of the dam. The gage at the original station is a 

vertical btaif on the pier of the bridge from which occasional discharge 

measurements are made for checking the rating of the dam. The 

original datum of this gage is still maintained.

In gejneral, conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data at 

the Lagfange dam are very good, and, except for minimum flow, full 

reliance can be placed on the records at this station.

Computed discharges for this station are fair for the earlier years, 

except nhat the high-stage discharges for 1896 are much too low. 

For the later years the records of discharge are good.

NOTE. Prior to 1902 these values are for the river only. Values for 1902 include the Turlock Canal. 

After 1902 the values include both the Modesto and Turlock canals. Values for 1908,1911, and 1912 also 

include the Lagrange Water & Power Co.'s canal. Values from Mar. 1 to Apr. 14,1896, are taken from the 

station at Modesto.

MODESTO CANAL NEAR LAGRANGE, CAL.

The Modesto canal, which diverts water from the right bank of 

Tuolumne River, 2 miles northeast of Lagrange, is owned by the 

Modesto irrigation district. The water is taken through a concrete 

bulkhead at the end of Lagrange dam and is used for irrigating 

81,200 acres of land around Modesto in Stanislaus County. The 

district has filed on 640 second-feet, but the maximum capacity of 

the canal at present is less than 600 second-feet.

The principal part of the construction work on this canal was done 

prior to 1892, but on account of litigation the canal was not finished 

until April, 1903. A gage-height record has been kept since April 26, 

1903, when a gage was installed in Indian Hill flume, near Lagrange,
STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 271

Cal. On July 12, 1904, the station was moved to the flume near the 

intake in order that more gage readings could be made and their 

fluctuations better interpreted. The gage is an iron staff in a concrete well 460 feet below headgates and below spillway. Measurements are made from a footbridge at a concrete section 550 feet 

below the gage.

The records for this station are considered good.

a few feet above Lagrange dam. The diverted water is used for 

irrigating 176,000 acres of fertile land in the vicinity of Turlock and 

Ceres in Stanislaus County. The district has filed on 1,500 secondfeet, but the maximum capacity of the canal at present is somewhat 

less than 1,000 second-feet.

The first water was turned into the canal in small quantities in 1898 

knd was^used for puddling. A record of the gage height has been 

'kept from July, 1899, to the present time. The gage is a staff float 

in.a 'concrete well 190 feet below the intrap and below the spillway. 

The gage is located at the head of the canal of the Turlock irrigation 

district, in the SW. J sec.. 16, T. 3 S., R. 14 E. Measurements are 

made at a footbridge at Morgan flume about half a mile below the 

gage well.

The records for this station are considered good.

After June 30, 1911, gage height record has been furnished by the 

Turlock irrigation district through Burton Smith, chief engineer.

LAGRANGE WATER &. POWER CO.'s CANAL NEAR LAGRANGE, CAL.

The Lagrange Water & Power Co.'s canal takes water from the 

south side of Tuolumne River at Indian Bar, about 17 miles above 

the town of Lagrange. This canal was built in the early days to 

supply water for hydraulic mining in the vicinity of Lagrange, and it 

is now locally known as the "Lagrange mining ditch." Recently it 

has been thoroughly repaired and is now used as a supply canal for 

the new hydro-electric plant which was installed in the latter part of 

1907. The power housb is situated on the bank of the river about 

hah6 a mile above the town of Lagrange and is below the dam and 

headworks of the Turlock and Modesto irrigation canals. Gage 

heights are depths of water in the flume.

The records for this station are considered good.

Gage-height record furnished by the Turlock irrigation district 

through Burton Smith, chief engineer.

TUOLUMNE RIVER AT MODESTO, CAL. 

(State Engineering Department station.)

The following information regarding records of discharge of Tuolumne River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of California," by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The discharge measurements were made at a station near the railroad bridge south of Modesto. The discharge includes Dry Creek, a 

tributary entering the river just above the point of observation. The 

drainage area (1,635 square miles) covers only the mountainous portions of the river and creek, there being no appreciable additional 

discharge in the valley part of their courses. A rating curve was 

developed and applied to a gage-height record maintained from 1879 

to 1882, inclusive, and occasional observations were made subsequent 

to 1882. From these data and estimates of discharge based on the discharge per square mile of near-by drainage areas, estimates have been 

made which are presented as sufficiently exact for all purposes of a
298 WATER RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA, PART II.

general water-supply discussion. The discharge of several mining 

ditches taken from Tuolumne River in the mountains above the 

station has not been taken into consideration. For periods of very 

low water this would materially affect the results. Much of this 

water, however, finds its way back into the river. (See also description 

of station maintained by the United States Geological Survey at 

Modesto, p. 299.)

ELEANOR CREEK AT ELEANOR TRAIL CROSSING, CAL.

Eleanor Creek is a tributary of Cherry River, and enters the stream 

6 miles above its mouth. The elevation of the outlet of Lake Eleanor 

is 4,655 feet above sea level. The drainage area above the gaging 

station is 81 square miles, and consists of high granite mountains 

culminating in Richardson Peak, elevation 9,845 feet; Haystack Peak, 

elevation, 9,966 feet; and an unnamed peak, elevation, 10,510 feet. 

The average elevation of the drainage basin is probably 7,500 feet.

A gaging station was established by J. B. Lippincott, at the outlet 

of Lake Eleanor, June 1, 1901, for the city of San Francisco. The following meter measurements and gage heights are given by the 

courtesy of Mr. C. E. Grunsky, former city engineer of San Francisco, Cal.:

SOUTH FORK OF TUOLUMNE EIVEE NEAE GEOVELAND, CAL.

This station, which is located at the South Fork trail bridge, in 

Stanislaus National Forest, one-fourth mile above the junction with 

Tuolumne River and about 10 miles east of Groveland, was established September 13, 1910.

The Middle Fork of the Tuolumne enters about 2J miles above the 

station. At the Hardin ranch, about 7 miles above the mouth, a 

ditch originally built for mining diverts water for a power plant. 

The water is not returned to the river.

The gage is a vertical staff on the middle pier of trail bridge.

At low and medium stages discharge measurements are made by 

wading near the gage. No equipment has been installed for making 

measurements at high stages.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

CLAVEY RIVER NEAR TUOLUMNE, CAL.

This station, which is located near the Luke Meadow trail bridge, 

11 miles above the junction with Tuolumne Kiver, and about 10 

miles southeast of Tuolumne, in the NW. J SW. J sec. 24, T. 1 N., 

K. 17 E., in the Stanislaus National Forest, was established September 12, 1910.

Keed Creek enters about one-half mile above and Indian Creek 

300 feet below the station. Power is developed near the mouth of 

the river.

The gage is a vertical staff in two sections in the left bank of the 

river 150 feet below the trail bridge.

At low stages discharge measurements are made by wading. A car 

and cable for high-stage measurements was installed April 18, 1912, 

150 feet below the gage.

Both banks are high and wooded and not subject to overflow. The 

channel is composed of bowlders and bed rock and is rough. The 

current is swift at all stages.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

Tuolumne, in the Stanislaus National Forest, was established October 

22, 1910, and discontinued June 10, 1911.

Indian Creek joins Clavey River about half a mile below the mouth 

of Reed Creek and 1 mile above the mouth of Quilty Creek.

The gage was a vertical staff fastened to an alder on the right bank, 

just below the trail crossing.

Discharge measurements were made by wading.

The bed of the stream is rough and there is but one channel at all 

stages. The current is swift.

This station was maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

318 WATEK KESOUKCES OF CALIFORNIA, PAET II. 

STANISLAUS EIVEK AT KNIGHTS FEEEY, CAL.

This station located in the NE. £ sec. 29, T. 1 S., K. 12 E., at 

Knights Ferry, about 12 miles northeast of Oakdale, was established 

May 19, 1903.

No important tributaries enter below the station or for many miles 

above. South Fork joins the main stream about 25 miles above the 

station.

Numerous ditches divert water from Stanislaus Kiver for mining 

operations, but most of the water is returned to the river. Some 

water, however, is diverted from the South Fork and turned into the 

Tuolumne basin. Water which is not returned to Stanislaus River is 

also diverted from North Fork for use in the vicinity of Murphy and 

Angels.

The Stanislaus & San Joaquin Water Co. diverts water about 3 

miles above Knights Ferry for power development and also for irrigating larid between Knights Ferry and Stockton. The amount 

used for power is returned to the river through the power house 

about 1,000 feet above the gaging station. The developed and 

acquired water rights probably exceed the low-water flow of the 

stream. Storage for power purposes is developed at Relief reservoir 

on Middle Fork of Stanislaus River.

The staff gage, the datum of which has not been changed since the 

station-was established, is in several sections on the right bank.

Discharge measurements are made from a cable 25 feet above the

The conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data at this station 

are not the best, on account of excessive velocities at high stages and 

changing conditions of control at low and moderate stages. About 

800 feet above the station the stream is divided into two channels by 

an island, and a low dam spans each channel at the head of the island. 

On the right bank below one of these dams is a power house which 

operates with water taken from behind the dam, and also from the 

ditch heading about 3 miles above. The tail water returns to the 

river above the station and varies with the load at different hours of 

the day, thus affecting the gage height somewhat at low stages. The 

channel section at the station is also subject to slight change, and 

both banks overflow to some extent in high floods.

Records for this station considered fairly good.

This canal diverts water from the right bank of Stanislaus River 

at a point about 3 miles above Knights Ferry. At some distance 

below the intake the Schell ditch diverts a small quantity of water 

from the main canal for irrigation. The flow in the ditch, as determined by measurements varies from 0 to 10 second-feet. About 

half a mile above Knights Ferry is another diversion from the 

main canal through a pressure pipe to the power house on the bank 

of the river, and the water thus diverted is used for power and then 

returned to the river about 1,000 feet above the gaging station on 

the river.

The gaging station, which is on the main canal below all diversions, is on the Oakdale road about one-half mile from Knights 

Ferry and about 200 feet below the point where the canal passes 

under the flume of Schell ditch, in the NW. i sec. 29, T. 1 S., R. 

12 E. It was established June 11, 1904.

The determinations of daily discharge of the canal have been combined with those for Stanislaus River at Knights Ferry, Cal.

The gage is a vertical staff on the left bank at a private bridge* 

across the canal about 20 feet below the footbridge from which discharge measurements are made.

The rating curves are well defined and the record is good.

Ferry, Cal, in 1904^1912.

NOTE. After 1903 these values include the discharge of Stanislaus & San Joaquin Water Co.'s canal 

and Schell ditch. The flow of Schell ditch has been assumed constant at 7 second-feet 1903-1909; at 6 

second-feet 1910-11; 5 second-feet January-March, 1912; 6 second-feet April, 1912; and 10 second-feet MayJune, 1912.

STANISLAUS EIVEE AT OAKDALE, CAL.

(State Engineering Department station.)

The following information regarding records of discharge of Stanislaus River, collected by the State Engineering Department of California, has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics of 

California," by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The character of the drainage basin of this river is similar to that of 

Tuolumne. The discharge is given for the river at Oakdale and no 

allowance has been made for water diverted from the stream above 

this point. Regular gage heights were taken for only a small portion 

of the period covered by the table below, and hence the results given 

are largely estimates based on the run-off from near-by drainages.

STANISLAUS EIVER AT OAKDALE, CAL.

(United States Geological Survey station.)

This station was located 1,000 feet below the railroad bridge and 

half a mile north of the town of Oakdale, Cal., at the same point as 

one maintained by the State Engineering Department of California 

from 1878 to 1884. (See. p. 341.) The station as first established, 

May 3, 1895, was at the railroad bridge, but on July 30, 1898, a cable 

was stretched across the river and a new gage installed at the present 

location, at J. W. Bell's ranch house, 100 feet below the bridge. The 

channel of the river is straight for some distance above and below 

the station, but the bed is of sand and liable to shift at times of sudden 

change in the volume of the river.

The canal of the Stanislaus Water Co. diverts water from Stanislaus River at a point 3 miles above Knights Ferry, or approximately 

15 miles above Oakdale. The volume of this canal at what is known 

as section 3 was rated on June 1, 1898, by turning in various amounts 

of water and measuring the same with a meter. It was found on 

June 6, 1899> that silt had accumulated in the bottom of the flume 

at the old gage, and a new station was adopted. This point was 

rated similarly to the one of the year previous. The observations 

on the gage rod are accurate, but during the spring and fall, when 

the amount of water which is used for irrigation is not important, it 

was difficult to obtain accurate reports, because it was of no particular interest to the canal company to record them.

The discharge of the canal is not included in the following tables 

of river discharge.

Results at this station are considered fairly good.

354 WATEE BESOTTKCES OF CALIFOENIA, PAET II.

EOSE CREEK NEAE JUPITEE, CAL.

This station, which is located just above the bridge at the trail 

crossing, in the Stanislaus National Forest, about 2 miles northwest 

of Jupiter, about 2| miles above junction with Stanislaus River, in 

the SE. 1 sec. 17, T. 3 N., R. 15 E., was established September 8,1910.

Eagle Creek enters 1J miles above and Knight Creek 2J miles 

below the station. The area drained by Rose Creek is rough and is 

covered chiefly with brush with some merchantable timber.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to a tree on the right bank, 

100 feet above the bridge.

Discharge measurements are made by wading near the gage.

The channel is composed of gravel and small bowlders and the 

current is swift. At low and medium stages the stream is confined 

to one channel. At extreme high water the left bank is overflowed 

and a second channel is formed.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States

SOUTH FORK OF STANISLAUS RIVER NEAR COLUMBIA, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge at Italian Bar, 

in the Stanislaus National Forest in the SE. I sec. 33, T. 3 N., R. 

15 E., about 5 miles northeast of Columbia, was established September 6, 1910.

Deer Creek enters about 4£ miles above and Fivemile Creek 1J 

miles below the gage. About 11 miles above the station water is 

diverted for domestic use at Sonora and Tuolumne. The low-water 

flow at the station is controlled by storage.

The gage is a vertical staff fastened to the middle pier of the bridge.

Discharge measurements at low and medium stages are made by 

wading about 200 feet below the gage. At high stages fair measurements can be made from the bridge.

The banks are high and wooded and not subject to overflow. The 

channel is composed of gravel, bed rock, and bowlders and appears 

permanent.

This station is maintained in cooperation with the United States 

Forest Service.

No estimates of daily or monthly discharge have been prepared.

CALAVEEAS RIVER AT JENNY LIND, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge on the Milton 

road, about one-fourth mile from Jenny Lind post office, 27 miles 

above junction with San Joaquin River in the SE. £ sec. 22, T. 3 N., 

R. 10 E., was established December 1, 1906, by the United States 

Weather Bureau, and has been rated by the Geological Survey.
3GO WATEE EESOUECES OF CALIFOBNIA, PAET II.

The records are of greatest immediate value in devising protective 

measures against the flooding of the city of Stockton during the 

winter.

The station is well up in the foothills, and there are a few small 

intermittent tributaries below. Cosgrove, Slate, and Bear creeks 

enter about 5 miles above the station. North and South forks unite 

about 15 miles above.

No water is diverted immediately above the station. The acquired 

water rights are for mining and power operations.

The gage, the datum of which has not been changed since the station was established, is a vertical staff in two sections on the right 

bank.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge near the gage.

The conditions for obtaining accurate discharge data are not very 

good. At low stages the stream at the station is about 100 feet wide 

and 2 feet deep, and the current is very sluggish. A considerable 

change in flow makes very little difference in the gage height, so that 

more or less error arises from the fact that the gage record is only to 

tenths of feet. At low stages measurements can be made at other 

sections by wading. At flood stages the current is very swift and the 

channel, which is composed of gravel and cobblestones, shifts slightly.

Records are fair at medium and low stages and poor at high stages.

MOKELUMNE EIVER AT ELECTRA, OAL.

' A gaging station was maintained at this point January 1 to June 

30, 1901, and May 11, 1903, to December 31, 1904. It is located 3 

miles above the wagon bridge on the Mokelumne Hill and Jackson 

road. It is half a mile below the Standard Electric Co.'s power 

house and the post office at Electra, Cal.

The gage was a large inclined timber bolted to a tree on the left 

bank.

Discharge measurements were made by means of a cable and car 

200 feet below the gage.

The current is swift at all stages, but there are cross currents at 

extreme low water. Both banks are high and are not liable to overflow. The lower part of the right bank is composed of hard gravel. 

The upper part of the right bank and the entire left bank are composed of solid rock. The bed of the stream is composed of rock 

and gravel and is fairly permanent.

Results at this station are fair.

STEEAM MEASUEEMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 373

MOKELUMNE RIVER AT LONE STAR MILL, CAL.

The following information regarding records of discharge of Mokelumne River, collected by the State Engineering Department of 

California, has been abstracted from "Physical data and statistics 

of California," by Wm. Ham. Hall.

The channel of this stream has been repeatedly examined and its 

discharge measured at a station near the Lone Star mill 0 (base of 

foothills), just north of Clements.

Daily gage heights have been obtained at this station and at the 

Westmoreland bridge, 12 miles above, for a large part of the period 

from 1878 to J1881, and occasionally for the remaining time. These 

data form the basis of what is believed to be a good practical estimate 

of the discharge into the valley each month.

Westmoreland bridge is 1 mile above Lancha Plana, in the SW. J 

sec. 4, T. 4 N., R. 10 E. M. D. B. & M., below all important tributaries except Dry Creek and Cosumnes River.

MOKELUMNE RIVER NEAR CLEMENTS, CAL.

This station, which is located at the highway bridge about 1 mile 

north of Clements, in the NW. | sec. 15, T. 4 N., R. 8 E., was established October 28, 1904.
STBEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 375

No important tributaries enter for many miles above or below the 

station. The three forks unite about 30 miles above Clements, and 

Cosumnes River enters from the north about 19^ miles (air line) below 

Clements.

Several ditches take water for use in mining and in power development in the Mokelumne basin, but most of the water is returned to 

the river. No water is diverted immediately above the station, 

except for local irrigation on the bottom lands adjacent to the river. 

In the upper part of the basin some water is probably diverted into 

contiguous basins. The acquired water rights on the lower part of the 

stream probably take the larger part, if not all, of the minimum flow.

The low-water section of the gage is an inclined staff on the right 

bank; the upper portion is painted on the middle pier of the bridge. 

No change has ever been made in the gage datum.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge.

The channel, which is composed of sand and gravel, is subject to 

slight changes during high water.

Records at this station are fairly good.

MOKELUMNE KIVER AT LODI, CAL.

This station is located 1 mile north of Lodi, at the railroad bridge 

of the Southern Pacific Co. Observations of river height were begun 

by the Southern Pacific Co. in 1879 and have been made at intervals 

since that time.

The gage is a vertical plank fastened to the south side of the middle 

pier and divided into feet and inches. It is 600 feet from the watchman's house. Gaging was done by lowering the meter through openings in the railroad bridge. The channel is very unfavorable for 

making measurements. When the water is at the 8-foot mark, the 

current is broken and not at right angles to the bridge.

The results obtained at this station during 1895 were so unsatisfactory that it did not seem desirable to continue work at this locality, 

and therefore measurements were discontinued. The Woodbridge 

dam, 2 miles below the railroad bridge, influences the relation of gage

height to discharge. The gates of this dam were opened on July 20, 

1895, that the reservoir might be cleaned. On July 22 and 23 the 

gates were closed. The dam, broke shortly after. During August 

the dam was being repaired. The influence upon the reading of river 

height can be noticed in the interval from July 15 to July 25.

DEY CEEEK NEAE IONE, CAL.

This station, which is located at the private bridge at Landis's 

ranch house, in the southwestern part of the Arroyo Seco grant, 2J 

miles below the mouth of Jackson Creek and 7 miles southwest of 

lone, was established October 7, 1911.

The gage is a vertical staff in two sections. The low-water section 

is fastened to the bridge pier near the right bank. The upper section 

is fastened to a tree 300 feet .directly back of the low-water section.

The channel is composed of sand and will shift during high water.

There are small diversions for local irrigation and mining above 

the station. There is also a small diversion from the North Fork of 

Mokelumne River into this drainage basin.

£896 WATER RESOURCES OP CALIFORNIA, PART H.

COSUMNES RIVER AT MICHIGAN BAR, CAL.

Cosumnes River rises on the western slope of the Sierra at an altitudp of 7,700 feet, and flows southwestward to its junction with the 

MA Lelumne, about 6 miles east of Walnut Grove. Its total length 

is about 90 miles'. The main stream is formed- by the confluence of 

its three forks, about 45 miles above its mouth and 20 miles above 

the valley border.

The gaging station, which is located at the Michigan Bar bridge, 

5J miles southwest of Latrobe and not far from the Michigan Bar 

post office, in the NW. i SE. J sec. 36, T. 8 N., R. 8 E., was established October 29, 1907.

No tributaries enter below the station. Big Canyon Creek joins 

the main stream from the north about 6 miles above Michigan Bar, 

and the junction of the three forks is 12 miles above.

Some water is diverted from the south side of the stream above 

the station and used for hydraulic mining near Michigan Bar. It is 

probable that all acquired water rights are for mining operations.

The gage, the datum of which has not been changed since the 

station was established, is a vertical staff on the middle pier of the 

bridge.

Discharge measurements are made from the bridge or by wading.

The river bed is composed of sand and gravel and is subject to 

slight changes. At low stages the current is sluggish at the bridge. 

Very satisfactory measurements may be made at medium and high 

stages. No measurements have been made on the diversion ditch.

Results at this station are considered good.

NOKTH FOKK OF COSUMNES RIVEK NEAK PLEASANT VALLEY, CAL.

This station is located near the north boundary of the SE. J SW. \ 

sec. 6, T. 10 N., K. 12 E., just above the road crossing at Bucks Bar, 

about 23 miles below the mouth of Camp Creek, 2 miles above the 

mouth of Long Kavine Creek, and 3 miles southwest of Pleasant 

Valley.

The drainage area above the station is about 158 square miles.

The gage is a vertical staff on the right bank just above the car 

and cable from which discharge measurements are made. Flood 

measurements were made by floats over a 200-foot range.

The channel is composed of gravel and is fairly permanent.
STEEAM MEASUREMENTS IN SAN JOAQUIN BASIN. 405

When the stage was changing rapidly thet gage was read several 

times each day. There is a small diversion from Camp Creek, known 

as the Crawford ditch, which is used for irrigation. Kesults are 

considered good.

The following records were furnished by Duryea, Haehl & Oilman, of San Francisco, Cal.

Daily discharge, in second-feet, of North Fork of Cosumnes River near Pleasant Valley,

Cal., for 1906-7.
