SUSQUEHANNA BASIN.
RiOer' Drains OUer 5000 Square
Miles IN Nez0- Y York State.
IRON THE TRIBUNE RUREAU.l

Washington, Feb 1s-An available hydrographio
information in regard to the Susquehanna River
drainage basin has recently been collected by
John c. Hoyt and Robert H. Anderson, of the
United States Geological Survey and will be pub
nshed as Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No.
lo9 1t is intended as a sequel to the paper ent-
tied Quality OF Water in Susquehanna River
Drainage Basin" prepared by Marshall o. Leigh
ton The paper has been prepared in answer 10
requests for information concerning this area
received from both the general and the engineering
public The main conclusions are intended TO give
the lay reader a comprehensive view Of the prin-
cipal conditions which exist in this area while
the base data have been presented for the use of
the engineer, that he may make his own deduc-
tions and have at hand sufficient facts to guide
him in making estimates in hydraulic investiga-
tions
The susquehanna River basin is the largest and
most important drainage area commercially in
the North Atlantic States although it is not the
most important regards water power. The
headwaIers of this river system the ele-
waited plateau which separates the waters that
flow southwark and eastward into the Atlantic
streams from those flowing northward and west
ward into the Mississippi, st. Lawrence and Great
Lakes.
Geologtcally this watershed lies in three phys
tographic divisions the Allegheny plateau the
Appalachian Valley and the Piedmont plateau.
Its distribution among these provinces is approx
mately follows: Allegheny plateau, Sc per
cent; Appalachian Valley. 81 per cent; Piedmont
plateau, per cent
The Susquehanna drainage basin has a total OF
81 400 square miles 1t comprises q 0e0 square miles
in Pennsylvania or about AZ per cent of the area
of the State; 6,OsO square miles in New-York. or
IS per Of the of the State and 26O square
miles in Maryland, about per cent OF the area
Of the State
The authors of this paper describe the drainage
detail give a brief resume the history OF
navigation the Susquehanna River and its trib-
utaries and present many pages Of tables which
show the measurements of flow taken at Bing-
hampton, N. Y. WIlkesbarre, Penn. Danvie,
Penn; Wlllamsport Penn; Arlenwood Penn;
Newport, Penn. Harrisburg Penn; Mccall Ferry,
Penn; Chemung, N Y; Chenango Forks. N. Y. !;
Waverly N Y, and Oxford. N Y Tables which
record the monthly and annual precipitations at
sta tons in the basin also given we'll as
tabuated statements Of vertical velocity measure
ments The foods and low water conditions of
cussed.
In view of the fact that the power resources of
the Susquehanna River basin, OF the largest
draining into the Atlantic Ocean. so little
developed. the discussion of water powers and the
tables which show developed horsepower and ee-
vations make one of the most interesting features
Of the paper.
