AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE VOF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 14 reports presenting records of 

measurements of flow made on streams in the United States during 

the year ending September 30, 1929.

The data presented in these reports were collected by the United 

States Geological Survey under the following authority contained in 

the organic law (20 Stat. L., p. 394):

Provided, That this officer [the Director] shall have the direction of the Geological Survey and the classification of the public lands and examination of the 

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

The work was begun in 1888 in connection with special studies 

relating to irrigation. Since the fiscal yeai4 ending June 30, 1895, 

successive appropriation bills passed by Congress have carried the 

following items:

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

and for the investigation of underground currents and artesian wells, and for the 

preparation of reports upon the best methods of utilizing the water resources. :

In the execution of the work many private and State organizations 

have cooperated, either by furnishing data or by assisting in collecting data. Acknowledgments for cooperation of the first kind are 

made in connection with the description of each station affected; 

cooperation of the second kind is acknowledged on page 10.

Measurements of stream flow have been made at about 5,830 points 

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

Hawaiian Islands. In July, 1929, 2,240 gaging stations were being 

maintained by the Geological Survey and the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

other points. In connection with this work data were also collected 

in regard to precipitation, evaporation, storage reservoirs, river

profiles, and water power in many sections of the country and will be 

made available in water-supply papers from time to time.

DEFINITION OF TEBMS

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 that represent a rate of flow, as secondfeet, gallons per minute, miner's inches, and discharge in second-feet 

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

water, as run-off in inches, acre-feet, and millions of cubic feet. The 

principal terms used in this series of reports are second-feet, secondfeet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. They may be 

defined as follows:

"Second-feet" is an abbreviation for "cubic feet per second." A 

second-foot is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a channel of 

rectangular cross section 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep at an average 

velocity of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental 

unit from which others are computed.

"Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet 

of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, on 

the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area.

"Run-off in inches" is the depth to which an area would be covered 

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

distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with 

rainfall, which is usually expressed in inches.

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

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

The following terms not in common use are here defined:

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

of gage height to discharge."

"Control," a term used to designate the natural section or stretch 

of the channel or artificial structure below the gage which determines 

the stage-discharge relation at the gage.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The data presented in this report cover the year beginning October 

1, 1928, and ending September 30, 1929. At the beginning of January in most parts of the United States much of the precipitation in 

the preceding three months is stored in the form of snow or ice, or in 

ponds, lakes, and swamps, or as underground water, and this stored 

water passes off in the streams during the spring break-up. At the 

end of September, on the other hand, the only stored water available
EXPLANATION OF DATA 6

for run-off is possibly a small quantity in the ground; therefore the 

run-off for the year beginning October 1 is practically all derived 

from precipitation within that year.

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of 

stage, measurements of discharge, and general information used to 

supplement the gage heights and discharge measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either

FIGURE 1. Typical river-measurement station showing concrete well and house for water-stage recorder

and staff gages, cable, and car

from direct readings on a staff or chain gage or from a water-stage 

recorder that gives a continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general 

methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river 

discharge. A typical gaging station, equipped with water-stage 

recorder and measuring cable and car, is shown in Figure 1.

From the discharge measurements rating tables are prepared that 

give the discharge for any stage. The application of the daily gage
4 SUBFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART XII C

height to these rating tables gives the daily discharge from which the 

monthly and yearly mean discharge is determined.

The data presented for each gaging station in the area covered by 

this report comprise a description of the station, a table showing the 

daily discharge of the stream, and a table of monthly and yearly 

discharge and run-off.

The description of the station gives, in addition to statements 

regarding location and type of gage, information as to diversions that 

decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation, maximum and 

minimum recorded discharge, and the accuracy of the records. The 

maximum discharge given under "Extremes" does not represent the 

crest discharge unless a water-stage recorder was in operation or unless 

a nonrecording gage was read at the time of the crest.

The table of daily discharge gives, in general, the discharge in 

second-feet corresponding to the daily gage height which may be oncedaily reading or the mean of twice-daily readings of a nonrecording 

gage, or the mean daily gage height obtained from a water-stage 

recorder graph.

At stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid diurnal fluctuation 

the discharge obtained from the rating table and the mean daily gage 

height may not be the true mean discharge for the day. If such 

stations are equipped with water-stage recorders, the mean daily 

discharge may be obtained by averaging discharge at regular intervals during the day or by using the discharge integrator, an instrument for obtaining mean daily discharge from a continuous gageheight graph and containing as an essential element the rating curve 

of the station.

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

gives the maximum daily discharge, and not the discharge when the 

water surface was at crest height. Likewise, in the column headed 

"Minimum" the quantity given is the minimum daily discharge. 

The column headed "Mean" is the average flow in cubic feet per 

second during the month. On this average flow are based computations recorded in the remaining columns, which are defined on page 2.

ACCURACY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the 

permanency of the stage-discharge relation and (2) on the accuracy of 

observation of stage, measurements of flow, and interpretation of 

records.

The station description gives a statement in regard to the general 

accuracy of the records. "Excellent" indicates that records are 

accurate within 5 per cent; "good," within 10 per cent; "fair," 

within 15 per cent; and "poor," 20 per cent or more.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high 

accuracy the quantity of water flowing past the gage, but the figures
PUBLICATIONS 5

showing discharge per square mile and depth in inches may be subject 

to gross errors caused by the inclusion of large noncontributing 

districts in the measured drainage area, by lack of information 

concerning water diverted for irrigation or other use, or by inability 

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

above the station. "Second-feet per square mile" and "Run-off in 

inches" are therefore not computed if such errors appear probable. 

The computations are also omitted for stations on streams draining 

areas in which the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general idea of the flow at 

the station. The table of daily discharge allows more detailed studies 

of the variation in flow. It should be borne in mind, however, that 

the observations in each succeeding year may be expected to throw 

new light on data previously published.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United 

States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, 

and the discharge recorded does not show the water supply available 

for further development, as prior appropriations below the stations

must first be satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Investigation of water resources by the United States Geological 

Survey has consisted in large part of measurements of the volume 

of flow of streams and studies of the conditions affecting that flow, 

but it has comprised also investigation of such closely allied subjects 

as irrigation, water storage, water powers, underground waters, and 

quality of waters. Most of the results of these investigations have 

been published in the series of water-supply papers, but some have 

appeared in the bulletins, professional papers, monographs, and 

annual reports.

The results of stream-flow measurements are now published annually in 12 parts, each part covering an area whose boundaries coincide 

with natural drainage features as indicated below:

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

II. South Atlantic slope and eastern Gulf of Mexico basins (James River 

.to the Mississippi).

III. Ohio River Basin.

IV. St. Lawrence River Basin.

The records at most of the stations discussed in these reports 

extend over a series of years. Miscellaneous measurements at many 

points other than regular gaging stations have been made each year 

and are published under "Miscellaneous discharge measurements" 

at the end of each report in the same relative order as the regular 

gaging stations. An index of the reports containing records obtained 

prior to 1904 has been published in Water-Supply Paper 119.

The following table gives, by years and drainage basins, the numbers of the papers on surface-water supply published from 1899 to
8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1929, PART XII C

1929. The data for any particular station will, as a rule, be found 

in the reports covering the years during which the station was maintained. For example, data for 1910 to 1920 for any station in the 

area covered by Part III are published in Water-Supply Papers 283, 

303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 473, and 503, which contain records 

for the Ohio River Basin for those years.

LOCATION. Staff gage in NW. % sec. 3, T. 1 N., R. 13 E., at foot of Court Street 

at The Dalles, 18 miles below Deschutes River and above Hood and KLickitat Rivers. Zero of gage is 46.55 feet above mean sea level.

DRAINAGE AREA. 237,000 square miles.

RECORDS AVAILABLE. June, 1878, to September, 1929. Maximum stages 1858 

to 1877.

EXTREMES. Maximum discharge during year, 460,000 second-feet June 19 (gage 

height, 27.7 feet); minimum, 43,200 second-feet January 31 (gage height, 

89.2 feet on gage above Celilo Falls).

1858-1928: Maximum discharge, 1,170,000 second-feet June 6, 1894 (gage 

height, S9.6 feet); minimum, that of January 31, 1929.

REMARKS. Records good. Gage readings at head of Celilo Falls, 12 miles 

upstream used for periods of ice effect or no gage readings at The Dalles, 

January 21 to February 19, September 3-11, 22-30. Quantity of. water 

diverted for irrigation is large in the aggregate but only a small proportion 

of the total flow; low-water flow, which comes in winter, is little affected.
