SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF1 THE GREAT BASIN, 1935

SCOPE OF WORK

This volume Is one of a series of 14 reports presenting results of measurements of 

flow made on streams In the United States during the year ending September 30, 1935. The 

work was begun In 1888 In connection with special studies relating to Irrigation. In 

the execution of the work, measurements of stream flow have been made at about 7,020 

points In the united States and also at many points In Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. 

In July 1935, 3,020 gaging stations were being maintained by the Geological Survey and 

the cooperating organizations. Many miscellaneous discharge measurements were made at 

other points.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

The units In which stream-flow data are presented In this report and other terms used 

herein are defined as follows:

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

rate of discharge of water flowing In a channel when the cross-sectional area Is 1 square 

foot and the average velocity Is 1 foot per second.

"Second-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.

"Second-foot-day" is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 second-foot for 

24 hours.

"Stage-discharge relation" is an abbreviation for the term "relation of gage height to 

discharge."

"Control" is a tern used to designate the natural section or reach of the channel or 

artificial structure below the gage which determines the stage-discharge relation at the

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage, measurements 

of discharge, and general information used to supplement the gage heights and discharge 

measurements in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either 

from direct readings on a nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a 

continuous record of the fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current 

meter by the general methods outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of river

discharge. Typical gaging stations, equipped with water-stage recorder and measuring 

cable and car, are shown on plate 1.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from the discharge 

measurements. The application of the dally gage height to these rating tables gives the 

dally discharge from which the monthly and yearly mean discharge Is computed.

The data presented for each gaging station In the area covered by this report usually 

comprise a description of the station, a table showing the dally discharge of the stream, 

and a table of monthly and yearly discharge and run-off. Skeleton rating tables are published except for those stations whose dally discharge for the greater part of the year 

was determined by shifting-control method or by use of slope or other special methods.

The description of the station gives Information In regard to the location and type of 

gage, diversions that decrease the flow at the gage, artificial regulation from pondage 

or storage, and the accuracy of the records. Under "Average discharge" Is given the 

average discharge for the number of years Indicated. It Is given only for stations for 

which there are 10 or more complete years of record. Information under "Extremes" gives 

the maximum discharge and gage height; the minimum discharge If there Is little or no 

regulation; the minimum dally discharge If there Is extensive regulation, and also the 

minimum discharge If useful; and the minimum gage height except when It Is of no Importance, Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest 

stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder or a nonrecordlng gage read at the time 

of the crest. Likewise the minimum represents the lowest discharge unless otherwise 

qualified.

The table of dally discharge gives, for stations equipped with nonrecordlng gages, 

the discharge In second-feet corresponding to once-daily or the mean of twice-daily readIngs of the gage. For stations equipped with water-stage recorders the table gives the 

discharge corresponding to the mean dally gage height except for stations on streams subject to sudden or rapid fluctuation. For stations subject to such fluctuation the mean 

dally gage height may not Indicate the true mean dally discharge, which must be obtained 

by averaging the discharge for Intervals of the day or by using the discharge Integrator, 

an Instrument for obtaining the mean dally discharge from a continuous gage-height graph 

and containing as an essential element the rating curve of the station.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Second-foot-days" gives the sum 

for each month of the discharge given In the table of dally discharge. The column headed 

"Maximum" gives the maximum dally 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 dally discharge. The column headed "Mean" Is the average flow In cubic feet per 

second during the month.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of stream-flow data depends primarily (1) on the permanency of the stagedischarge relation and (2) on the accuracy of observation of stage, measurements of flow, 

and Interpretation of records.

The station description gives a statement In regard to the general accuracy of the 

records. "Excellent" Indicates that, In general, the dally records are accurate within 

5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; "fair", within 15 percent; and "poor", within 20 

percent or more.

The monthly means for any station may represent with high accuracy the quantity of 

water flowing past the gage, but the figures ehowing 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.

Many gaging stations on streams In the irrigated areas of the United States are situated above most of the diversions from those streams, and the discharge recorded does not 

show the water supply available for further development, as prior appropriations below 

the station must first be satisfied.

The table of monthly discharge gives a general Idea of the flow at the station. The 

table of dally discharge allows more detailed studies of the variation in flow. It 

should be borne in mind, however, that the observations in each succeeding year may be 

expected to throw new light on data previously published, and that greater degrees of refinement in computations and records may be warranted with Increased data and use of Improved equipment.

In order to permit greater refinement in analysis and comparison of records for adjacent stations, the following changes in computation procedure were followed in preparing 

some of the records published In the series of reports for 1934 and all the records for 

1935: (a) Mean monthly discharge above 1,000 second-feet and monthly run-off above 

10,000 acre-feet are expressed to four significant figures instead" of three significant 

figures, as formerly; (b) monthly run-off in acre-feet is computed from the total secondfoot-days for the month and not from the mean discharge for the month; (c) drainage areas 

above 1,000 square miles, if measured on topographic maps, or If otherwise warranted, 

are expressed to four significant figures Instead of three as formerly.

Note.- The reports which contain records after 1901 are given in the table on page 10.

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 1935. The data for any particular station 

will, in general, be found in the reports covering the years during which the station "was 

maintained. For example, data from 1910 to 1980 for any station in the area covered by 

part 3 are published in Water-supply Papers 283, 303, 323, 353, 383, 403, 433, 453, 473, 

and 503, which contain records for the Ohio River Basin for those years. Special papers 

containing compilation of records previously published and also records not contained in 

the annual series of water-supply papers have been published for some States and drainage 

basins. 'For example, stream-flow records for the New Kanaisha River Basin in part 3 from 

1895 to 1920 are contained in Water-Supply Paper 536.

COOPERATION

The work was done under cooperative agreements with the several states as follows: 

In California with the State Department of Public Works, Earl Lee Kelly, director, and 

Edward Hyatt, State engineer, and with San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties; in Idaho 

with the commissioner of reclamation, R. W. Paris; in Nevada with the office of the State 

engineer, George W. Malone and A. M. Smith; in Oregon with the office of the state 

engineer, Charles E. Stricklin; in Utah with the office of the State engineer, T. H. 

Humpherys; and in Wyoming with the office of the State engineer, E. W. Burritt.

Assistance in collecting records was rendered by the following organizations and 

corporations: In California by the Walker River Irrigation District; in Utah by Utah 

Power & Light Co.; Logan, Hyde Park & Smithfield Canal Co., city of Hyrum, Weber River 

Water Users Ass'n., and provo River Water Users.

Funds for the rehabilitation of gaging stations, repairs, replacement of equipment, 

and improvement of records were allocated by the Public Works Administration from funds 

made available by the National Industrial Recovery Act.

DIVISION OF WORK

The data for the stations in the several States were collected and prepared for 

publication under supervision of district engineers as follows: In California (except 

In Walker Lake Basin), H. D. McGlashan; in Idaho (except those on Bear River), Thomas R. 

Newell; in Oregon, G. H. Canfield, the work being done in collaboration with Charles E.

Gages on Great Salt Lake

Location.- Staff gages, lat. 40°46 I 30W , long. 112010'20n , at Saltair, on southeast sh< 

or laJce, 15 miles west of Salt Lake City, and at Midlake, lat. 41°13', long. 112°3f 

on Lucin cut-off of Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles west of Ogden, Weber Count} 

Utah. Zero of Saltair gage is 4,196.85 feet (revised) above mean sea level; zero c 

Mldlake gage is 4,198.0 feet above mean sea level.

Records available.- September 1875 to December 1899, March to July 1904, October 1912 

September 19^5 in reports of U. S. Geological Survey; July 1903 to December 1934 in 

reports of If. S. Weather Bureau.

Extremes.- l&ximum elevation during year, 4,196.0 feet June 1 at Saltair gage; minimum, 

¥,194.35 feet Sept. 15 at both gages.

1850-1935: Jfeximum elevation observed, 4,211.3 fest July 12, 1877; estimated 

maximum, 4,213.5 feet in 1868 (data furnished by Ifercus £. Jones, Salt Lake City); 

minimum, that of Sept. 15, 1935.

.Remarks.- Apparent inconsistencies in readings are probably due largely to the effect ol 

Wind, as the two gages are about 40 miles apart. Readings on Mldlake gags are 

furnished by the Southern Pacific Railroad.

38 WEBER RIVER BASIN

Ogden River near Ogden, Utah

Location.- Water-stage recorder, lat. 41°15'17", long. 111°50'47", In NEiSWi sec. 16, T.

 6 N., R. IE., at bridge 300 feet below Utah Power & Light Co.'s dam and 6f miles 

northeast of Ogden.

Records available.- 1895-96, January 1904 to October 1912, October 1931 to September 

1935.

Average discharge.- 11 years (1904-9, 1910-12, 1931-35), 254 second-feet.

Extremes.- Maximum discharge during year 1,130 second-feet Hay 11 (gage height, 8.95

 feet'); minimum mean dally discharge, about 4 second-feet for several days during 

October.

1904-12, 1932-35: Maximum observed discharge, 3,260 second-feet Feb. 5, 1907; 

minimum dally discharge, about 4 second-feet for several days during the late summer 

of 1934.

Remarks.- Records fair. Station Is below Irrigation diversions In Ogden Valley and

 above those In vicinity of Ogden. For Oct. 1-12, 18-20 an average discharge of 4 

second-feet, or about 120 acre-feet were diverted through the Utah Power & Light 

CO.'s pipe line for power development 300 feet above station and should be added to 

obtain records comparable with those of 1895-96, 1904-12. The erratic flow during 

October and November was caused by the starting of construction work at Pine View 

Dam a short distance above the gaging station. Low-water flow regulated by diversion dam; also affected by municipal and Irrigation diversions. Records of dally 

discharge furnished by U. S. Bureau of Reclamation from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30.
