SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 37 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, of 

streams, lakes, and reservoirs In the United States during the 1961-65 water years. Since 1888, when the 

U.S. Geological Survey first studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have 

been obtained at more than 17,500 gaging stations In the 50 States. On September 30, 1965, the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 9,100 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for 

low flow or for floodflow have been operated at many other points. The records for the 1961-65 water years 

at gaging stations and partial-record stations In the Pacific Slope basins In California, Southern Central 

Valley, are given In this report.

COOPERATION

Many State, municipal, and private organizations have cooperated with the Geological Survey In this 

work by either furnishing or helping to collect data. Organizations that supplied data are acknowledged In 

station descriptions, and organizations that assisted In the collection of data through cooperative agreements 

with the Survey In California are as follows:

California Department of Water Resources; City and County of San Francisco; Calaveras County 

Water District; and East Bay Municipal Utility District.

Assistance In the form of funds or services was given by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, In 

collecting records published herein for 26 gaging stations; by the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department 

of the Interior, for 13 stations; and by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, for 8 stations.

The following organizations and Individuals aided In collecting records:

Kings River Water Association; Pacific Gas and Electric Co.; Southern California Edison Co.; 

Kern County Land and Water Co.; and the Madera, Merced, Modesto, Oakdale, South San Joaquln, 

Turlock, and Woodbridge Irrigation Districts.

DIVISION OF WORK

The stream-gaging work was done by the Water Resources Division of the Geological Survey under the 

direction of personnel shown In the Preface. The data for stations In California were collected and prepared for publication In the district office located at 855 Oak Grove Avenue, Menlo Park, California 94025.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologjc data, as used In this report, are defined as follows:

Gaging station Is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations 

of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used In connection with a discharge record, the term Is 

applied herein only to those gaging stations where a continuous record of discharge Is obtained.

Hydrologlc bench-mark station Is one that provides hydrologlc data for a basin In which the hydrologlc 

regimes will likely be governed solely by natural conditions. Data collected at a bench-mark station may

1
2 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 11, VOLUME 3

be used to separate effects of natural from manmade changes in other basins which have been developed and 

in which the physiography, climate, and geology are similar to those in the undeveloped bench-mark basin,

Partial-record station is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected systematically 

over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.

Discharge is the volume of water in a stream which passes a given point in a unit of time.

Cubic foot per second (cf s) is the rate of discharge representing a volume of 1 cubic foot passing a given 

point during I second and Is equivalent to 7.48 gallons per second or 448.8 gallons per minute.

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff is distributed uniformly in time 

and area.

Runoff in inches (in.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the runoff 

a given time period were uniformly distributed on it.

Acre-foot (ac-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or 325,851 gallons.

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second for 24 hours. It is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons, and represents a runoff of 0.0372 inch 

from 1 square mile.

Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height (the stage of the stream in relation to a 

reference gage) and the amount of water flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stage-discharge relation 

at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, an artificial structure, or a uniform 

cross section over a long reach of the channel.

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is computed on the 

basis of a level pool and does not Include bank storage.

Drainage area of a stream above a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, 

enclosed by a topographic divide from which direct surface runoff from precipitation normally drains by 

gravity into the river above the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed 

basins, or noncontrlbuting area, within the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in reference to previously published reports. 

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBER

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the order of listing 

gaging-station records is in a downstream direction along the main stem. All stations on a tributary 

entering above a main-stem station are listed before that station. A station on a tributary that enters 

between two main-stem stations is listed between them. A similar order is followed In listing stations on 

first rank, second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. The rank of any tributary on which a gaging station is situated with respect to the stream to which it is Immediately tributary is indicated by an indention
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

In the listing of gaging stations In the table of contents of this report. Each Indention represents one rank. 

This downstream order and system of Indention show which gaging stations are on tributaries between any 

two stations and the rank of the tributary on which each gaging station Is situated.

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all stations on the main 

stem from headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost tributary to the main stem from 

the tributary's source to mouth, and then all stations from source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to 

the tributary.

As an added means of Identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has been assigned 

a number. Numbers have been assigned In the same downstream order as described In this report. In 

assigning station numbers, no distinction Is made between partial-record stations and regular gaging 

stations; the station number for a partial- record station Indicates downstream-order position In a list 

made up of both types of stations. Gaps are left In the numbers to allow for new stations that may be 

established; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete 8-dlglt number for each station, such 

as 11-2470.00, Includes the part number "11" plus a 6-dlglt number. In this report the nonessentlal zeros 

are not shown. For example, the complete number 11-2470.00 will appear as 11-2470, just to the left of 

the station name.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements of discharge. 

In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, weather records, and other 

Information are used as needed to supplement base data In determining the daily flow. Records of stage 

are obtained from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous graph of fluctuations (for digital recorders, a tape punched at 15-, 30-, or 60-mlnute Intervals) or from direct readings on a nonrecordlng gage. 

Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience In stream gaging since 1888. These methods are described in WaterSupply Paper 888 and in U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of Water Resources Investigations, book 3, 

chapter A6.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge relation curves 

defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the rating curves are necessary to define the extremes 

of discharge, they are made on the basis of Indirect measurements of peak discharge, (such as slope-area 

or contracted-opening measurements, computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), 

velocity-area studies, and logarithmic plotting. The application of the daily mean gage height to those 

rating tables gives the dally mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharges are 

computed. If the stage-discharge relation Is subject to change because of frequent or continual change In 

the physical features that form the control, the dally mean discharge Is determined by the shifting-control 

method, in which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and on notes by engineers 

and observers are used In applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation 

for a station is temporarily charged by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, the dally 

mean discharge is computed by what Is basically the shifting-control method.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by backwater from reservoirs, 

tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method In which the slope or 

fall In a reach of the stream Is a factor In determining discharge. Information requisite for determining 

the slope or fall Is obtained by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At 

some stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by rapid change in stage. If so, the rate of change 

in stage Is used as a factor In determining discharge.
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 11, VOLUME 3

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at some in the mountainous regions 

of other parts of the country the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice during the winter, and it 

becomes impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect 

is computed on the basis of gage-height record and occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and 

hydrologists, and comparable records of discharge for other stations in the same or nearby basins.

gaee

For some gaging stations there are periods when no gage-height record is obtained or the recorded 

height is so faulty that it cannot be used to compute the daily discharge. This happens when the 

recorder stops or otherwise fails to operate properly, intakes are plugged, float is frozen in the well, or 

for various other reasons. For such periods the daily discharges are estimated on the basis of recorded 

range in stage, adjoining good record, discharge measurements, weather records, and comparison with 

other station records from the same or nearby basins.

The data in this report generally comprise a description of the station, and tables showing the daily 

discharge and monthly and yearly discharges of the stream. Records are published on a water year basis 

which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30.

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, type and history of 

gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and notations on revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the 

most accurate maps available. River mileage, given under "Location" for some stations, Is that determined 

and used by the Corps of Engineer sunless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given the periods 

for which there are published records generally equivalent to those at present site. Under "Gage" are 

given the type of gage currently In use and the datum of the present gage above mean sea level, and a 

condensed history of the types, locations, .and datums of previous gages used during the period of records 

available. The reference to "datum of 1929" and adjustments of other years are to the datum and adjustments of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Under "Average discharge" is given the average discharge 

for the number of years indicated. It is not given for stations having fewer than five complete years of 

record or for stations where changes in water development during the period of record cause the figure to 

have little significance. Unde-r "Extremes" are given, usually in tabular form, the maximum instantaneous 

discharge and gage height for the current water years (1961-65); the minimum instantaneous discharge if 

there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge If there Is extensive regulation (also the minimum instantaneous discharge if it is abnormally low); and the minimum gage height if it is also abnormally 

low. For stations for which peak discharges are published, all independent peaks above the selected base 

and the time of occurrence and corresponding gage heights are published in the first table under 

"Extremes." The base discharge, which is given in parentheses in the table heading, is selected so that an 

average of about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak discharges are not published for any canals, 

ditches, drains, or for any stream for which the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. Time of 

day is expressed in 24-hour local standard time; for example, 12:30 a.m. is 0030, 1:30 p.m. is 1330. The 

minimums for these stations are published in a separate t'able following the table of peaks. In the paragraph 

following the current data, the data given are for the periods of record within the calendar year dates in 

the heading (not necessarily those for the complete years indicated by the heading dates). Reliable information concerning major floods that have occurred outside the period of record are given in the last paragraph 

under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage 

obtained by use of a water-stage recorder (graphic or digital), a crest-stage gage, or a nonrecording gage 

read at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage height did not occur at the same time as the maximum 

discharge, it is given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions 

which affect the natural flow at the gaging station is given under "Remarks."
EXPLANATION OP DATA 5

Previously published records of some stations have been found to be in error on the basis of data or 

information later obtained. Revisions of such reports are usually published along with the current records 

in one of the annual or compilation reports. In order to make it easier to find such revised records, a 

paragraph headed "Revisions (water years)" has been added to the description of all stations for which 

revised records have been published. Listed therein are all the reports in which revisions have been 

published, each followed by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the water 

years only one number is given; for instance, 1933 stands for the water year October 1, 1932, to 

September 30, 1933. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are concerned in the revision, the 

fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous 

maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that 

only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised 

figure was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet per second 

per square mile and runoff in inches are published, a revision of the drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square 

mile and runoff in inches resulting from a revision of the drainage area only are usually not published in 

the annual series of reports.

The daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the daily mean gage height unless there are large 

or rapid changes in the discharge during a day. For days having large or rapid changes, discharge for the 

day is computed by averaging the mean discharge for several parts of the day. For digital recorders, the 

daily mean discharge is always the average of the discharges at each punched reading. For stations equipped 

with non-recording gages, the daily dischargecorrespondstoonce-daily readings of the gage or to the mean 

of twice-daily readings; but for periods of rapidly changing stage, the discharge is determined from gageheight graph based on gage readings.

In the monthly summary below the daily table, the line headed "TOTAL" gives the sum of the daily 

figures; it is the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "MEAN" gives the average flow in cubic 

feet per second during the month. On the line headed "MAX" the figures are the maximum daily discharges 

for the months, not the momentary maximum discharges. Likewise, the line headed "MIN" are the minimum 

daily discharges for the months. Discharge for the month may be expressed in cubic feet per second per 

square mile (line headed "CFSM"), or in inches (line headed "IN"), or in acre-feet (line headed "AC-FT"). 

Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if the drainage area 

includes large noncontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is usually 

less than 20 inches, or if the flow is appreciably affected by regulation by upstream reservoirs.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum daily 

discharges for the calendar and water years; likewise, the minimums are the minimum daily discharges.

Footnotes to the table of dally discharge are introduced by the word "NOTE." Footnotes are used to 

indicate periods for which the discharge is computed or estimated by special methods because of no gageheight record, backwater from various sources, or other unusual conditions. Periods of no gage-height 

record are indicated if the period is continuous for a month or more or includes the maximum discharge 

for the year. Periods of backwater from an unusual source, of indefinite stage-discharge relation, or of 

any other unusual condition at the gage site are indicated only if they are a month or more in length and 

the accuracy of the records is affected. Days on which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice are 

not indicated. The methods used in computing discharge forvarious unusual conditions have been explained 

in preceding paragraphs.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs a table showing daily
6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 11, VOLUME 3

contents or stage Is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages Is published for all reservoirs for 

which records are published on a dally basis, but Is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly 

data are given.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation 

or, If the control Is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records.

The station description under "Remarks" states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" 

means that about 95 percent of the dally discharges are within 5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; and 

"fair" within 15 percent. "Poor" means that dally discharges have less than "fair" accuracy.

In earlier reports the figures of daily mean discharge, computed manually, were usually rounded to 

tenths below 10 cfs, but the rounding rules were not rigid; some discharges were given to hundredths if 

the accuracy was sufficiently good and others were rounded to whole numbers if the accuracy was poor. 

In this report, however, most of the tables of dally mean discharge are tabulated by a computer which 

rounds the figures solely on basis of the magnitude of the discharge. Therefore, zeros to the right of the 

decimal point should not be construed to indicate an accuracy greater than is stated in the "Remarks" 

paragraph.

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from natural runoff, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, Increase or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and 

of runoff in inches are not published unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for 

changes in contents of reservoirs, or for other changes incident to use and control. Evaporation from a 

reservoir is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless It is so stated. Even 

at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors In computed runoff may occur if adjustments 

or losses are large In comparison with the observed discharge.

OTHER DATA AVAILABLE

Data collected at partial-record stations are given at the end of this report. Data for partial-record 

stations are presented In two tables. The first is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partialrecord stations, and the second is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. 

Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the 

seepage gains or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an area. 

Such measurements are given in special tables following the tables of partial-record stations.

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations is on file in 

the district offices, such as discharge measurements, gage-height records, and rating tables. Many 

gaging-station records have been analyzed to give several statistical summaries, mainly: (1) the number 

of days in each year that the daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); (2) the lowest 

mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in each year; and (3) the highest mean discharge 

for selected numbers of consecutive days In each year.

At or near some gaging stations, water-quality records also are collected. Data are obtained on the 

chemical quality of the stream water, on water temperature, on suspended-sediment concentration, and 

on the particle-size distribution of suspended sediment and bed material. Under "Remarks" of the station
PUBLICATIONS 7

description, reference Is made to water-quality records collected on a regular basis for that station. 

Results of the data collected are published In water-supply papers entitled "Quality of Surface Waters of 

the United States," and In annual reports issued by States beginning with the 1964 water year. These 

annual reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for (state). Part 2, Water Quality Records." Information on the availability of electronic computer analyses, unpublished data, or quality of water records 

may be obtained from the district offices listed on page 1.

PUBLICATIONS

Through September 30, 1960, the records of discharge and stage of streams and contents and stage of 

lakes or reservoirs were published in an annual series of U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers 

entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States." Prior to 1951, there were 14 volumes in the series; 

one for each of the 14 parts whose boundaries coincided with certain natural drainage lines within the 

conterminous United States. From 1951 to 1960, there were 20 volumes In the series, Including one each 

for the States of Alaska and Hawaii.

This report marks the beginning of a new series of water-supply papers to be published on a 5-year 

basis. This series covers the 5-year period October 1, 1960, to September 30, 1965. To meet Interim 

requirements, streamflow and related data have been released by the Geological Survey In annual reports, 

beginning with the 1961 water year, by State. These reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for 

(state), Part 1. Surface Water Records." Distribution of these reports is limited and primarily for local 

needs. Any revision or corrections found necessary to the records published in these annual State reports 

have been made and published herein without reference.

Records for the area covered by this report have been compiled through September 1950 and for the 

period October 1950 to September 1960 and published in Water-Supply Papers 1315-A and 1735, respectively. 

These reports contain a summary of monthly and annual discharges for all previously published records 

as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever 

practical.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge collected during 

the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on the stage and discharge of many streams 

during major floods has been included In special reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. 

The more recent of these special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses 

and compilations of data relating to earlier notable floods. The following list gives the numbers and titles 

of these reports:

Remarks.--Records excellent. Plow regulated by Lake Kaweah (see station 11-2109). Lemoncove ditch 

(see station 11-2108.5) diverts water from Lake Kaweah for irrigation. Foothill ditch (see station 11-2109.3) diverts water from the gage pool for irrigation; at times some of the water is 

returned to the river above station. Records adjusted for evaporation from Lake Kaweah beginninin March 1962. Records of chemical analyses for the water year 1965 are published in reports of 

the Geological Survey.

end of Huntington Lake, 6 miles northeast of Big Creek.

Records available. October 1927 to September 1965. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in ¥SP 1315-A.

Gage. Water-stage recorder until Hay 23, 1956, none thereafter. Datum of gage is 6,999.00 ft 

above mean sea level (levels by Southern California Edison Co.).

Average discharge.--38 years, 465 cfs (336,600 acre-ft per year).

Extremes.--1927-65: Maximum daily discharge, 2,080 cfs June 21, 1935: no flow at times in 1961,

Remarks.--Records fair. Daily discharge computed as the sum of Ward tunnel at intake (see station 

11-2295), Mono-Bear conduit, Camp Creek conduit, and corrected for change in contents of Portal 

Porebay. Tunnel diverts from Florence Lake (see station 11-2296) to Huntington Lake (see station 11-2360) and receives diversions from Bear and Mono Creeks and at times from several other 

small tributaries of South Pork San Joaquin River.

Cooperation.--Discharge of Camp Creek conduit and contents of Portal Porebay furnished by Southern 

California Edison Co., in connection with a Federal Power Commission project.

1944-65: Maximum discharge, 5,910 cfs Apr. 6, 1958 (elevation, 67.37 ft, present datum); 

minimum, 9.5 cfs Oct. 30, 1960.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are fair. Natural 

flow of stream affected by storage reservoirs, ground-water withdrawals, diversions for Irrigation, and Imported water from Delta-Mendota Canal (see station 11-3130). During periods of high 

flow, water bypasses this station through Mud Slough; low flows consist mainly of return water 

from irrigated areas. Stage affected at times by backwater from Merced River. Records of chemical analyses for the water years 1961-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey. See 

Remarks,for stations upstream.

1912-65: Maximum discharge, 33,000 cfs Mar. 7, 1938 (elevation, 65.81 ft, present site and 

datum), including flow in Merced River Slough; minimum, 15 cfs Aug. 9, 10, 1924.

Remarks.--Records good. Natural flow of stream affected by storage reservoirs, ground-water withdrawals, diversions for irrigation, and imported water; low flow consists mainly of return water 

from irrigated areas. Record for Merced River Slough (see station 11-2730) shows flow bypassing 

station. Records of chemical analyses for the water years 1961-63 are published in reports of 

the Geological Survey.

Location.--Lat 37°40'00", long 120°26'25", in NE^NW^ sec.21, T.3 S., R.14 E., on right bank 2,400 ft 

downstream from intake at La Grange Dam and 1.2 miles east of La Grange.

Records available. October 1898 to September 1965. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published In WSP 1315-A.

Gage. Digital water-stage recorder and concrete control. Altitude of gage is 265 ft (from topographic map). July 1, 1899, to Sept. 14, 1915, staff gage at different sites and datums near 

canal intake. Sept. 15, 1915, to Apr. 15, 1924, staff gage and Apr. 16, 1924, to winter of 

1936-37 graphic water-stage recorder, both at present site at datum 0.25 ft higher. Winter of 

1936-37 to Dec. 20, 1962, graphic water-stage recorder at present datum.

Average discharge.--67 years, 586 cfs (424,200 acre-ft per year).

544 SAN JOAQUIN RIVER BASIN

11-3089. Calaveras River below New Hogan Dam, near Valley Springs, Calif.

Location.--Lat 38°08'53", long 120°49'26", in NE-j; sec.l, T.3 N., R.10 E., on right bank at county 

road bridge, 0.5 mile upstream from Cosgrove Creek, 0.8 mile downstream from New Hogan Dam, and 

3.0 miles south of Valley Springs.

Drainage area. 363 sq mi.

Records available. January 1961 to September 1965.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 519.8 ft above mean sea level 

(levels by Corps of Engineers). Auxiliary staff gage 300 ft downstream at different datura used 

May 1, 1962, to Jan. 26, 1963.

Extremes.--Maximum and minimum discharges for January 1961 to September 1965 are contained in the 

following table:

1961-65: ^Maximum discharge, 7,020 cfs Feb. 1, 1963 (gage height, 6.76 ft); no flow for many 

days in each year.

Remarks. Records good except those for period of indefinite stage-discharge relation and those for 

periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Flow regulated by New Hogan Reservoir (see 

station 11-3087). Some seepage of North Fork Stanislaus River water enters basin from diversion 

canals and reservoirs, normally not over 1.5 cfs. Small diversions above station for irrigation. 

Records of chemical analyses for the water years 1964-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

1907-65: Maximum discharge observed, 50,000 cfs Jan. 31, 1911 (gage height, 21.0 ft, present 

datum), from rating curve extended above 11,000 cfs; no flow in most years.

Remarks . Records good except those for period of no gage-height record, which are fair. Flow regulated by New Hogan Reservoir (see station 11-3087); prior to December 1963, flow regulated by 

Hogan Reservoir beginning in 1930 (usable capacity, 75,000 acre-ft). Some seepage of North Fork 

Stanislaus River water enters above station from diversion canals and reservoirs, normally not 

over 1.5 cfs. Small diversions above station for irrigation. Records of chemical analyses for 

the water years 1961-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

556 SAN JOAQTJIN RIVER BASIN

11-3130. Delta-Mendota Canal at Tracy pumping plant, near Tracy, Calif.

Location. Lat 37°47'45", long 121°35'05", in SW£sw£ sec.31, T.I S., R.4 E., at Tracy pumping plant 

at Intake to canal, 6 miles southeast of Byron and 10 miles northwest of Tracy.

Records available. June 1951 to September 1965. Prior to October 1959, published as "near Tracy."

Gage.--Water-stage recorder on forebay, pressure gages on pump discharge lines, and operating time 

of pumps. Datum of gage is at mean sea level (levels by Bureau of Reclamation).

Average discharge.--14 years, 1,547 cfs (1,120,000 acre-ft per year).

Extremes.--1951-65: Maximum daily discharge, 4,934 cfs July 13, 1961; no flow for many days in most 

years.

Remarks. Discharge computed from records of operation pumps. Water is diverted from SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta by way of Old River and a dredged channel to the Tracy pumping plant where it 

is lifted about 200 ft into canal. Water, less intermediate diversions, flows into Mendota Pool 

on San Joaquin River to replace water diverted at Friant Dam. The canal is part of Central Valley project. Hecords of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water years 1961-65 and 

of suspended-sediment loads for the water years 1963-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

Cooperation.--Records of daily discharge furnished by Bureau of Reclamation and reviewed by Geologicai Survey.

b Result of failure of Woodbridete Dam1925-65: Maximum discharge, 27,000 cfs Nov. 22, 1950 (gage height, 29.58 ft), from rating 

curve extended above 6,200 cfs on basis of contracted-opening measurement of peak flow. 

1924-65: Minimum daily, 1.4 cfs Sept. 19, 20, 22, 1927.

Remarks. Records good except those for period of no gage-height record, which are fair. C-oncerning regulation and diversions see Remarks for Mokelumne River below Camanche Dam (station 

11-3235); between Woodbridge and Camanche Dam there are many additional diversions for irrigation, 

including Woodbridge Canal (see station 11-3250). Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures at or near this gaging station for the water years 1961-65 are published in reports of the 

Geological Survey.

Cooperation. Sixty-four discharge measurements furnished by East Bay Municipal Utility District.

partly regulated since January 1955 by Jenkinson Lake (usable capacity, 40,570 acre-ft). Water 

is released from Jenkinson Lake through Camino conduit for irrigation and domestic supply in 

North Pork Cosumnes and South Fork American River basins. Some water Is released from Jenkinson 

Lake down Camp Creek for irrigation below station. For months when inflow to the lake was small 

and other quantities were large, discordant figures of net runoff may appear.

times in 1959-65.

Remarks.--Records good. Amount of water imported from Middle Fork Cosuranes River through Garabaldi 

ditch has been negligible due to leakage in the ditch.

646 DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS

As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the 

number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects 

limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data 

are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site 

at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these 

partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or flood-flow analyses, depending on the type of 

data collected.

Records collected at partial-record stations are ordinarily presented in two tables. The first 

is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the second is a 

table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations; however, no records at lowflow partial-record stations are available for the water years 1961-65.

CREST-STAGE PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS

The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage 

gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A 

stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect 

measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always 

certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on 

some lower floods may have been obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period 

of re:ord represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.
