IoWA's WATER

Federal and State Geological
Surveys.

The Iowa Geological Survey. under
the dictatorship of George F. Kay. OF
Iowa City, has recently entered into
cooperation with the United States
Geological Survey for the purpose OF
studying the flow of the most impor-
tant rivers in the state. Prior TO 1906
a number OF stations were maintained
bv the Federal Survey. but with one
exception they were discontinued in
that year for lack of funds. Within
the past year or two the possibilities
of developing water power have arous-
ed interest in Iowa and the State
Survey has been DESTROYS of preparing
a report on this subject. Preliminary
investigations. however. showed the
need for actual records of river dis
charge before definite report could
be made and so this has been postpon-
ed for some time pending the conpi-
lation Of stream-flow data. Gaging
stations have been established on the
Iowa River near Iowa Falls, Des

Keosauqua, Cedar river at Cedar
Rapids. and Wapsipinicon river at
Stone City. The last three stations
were originally established by the
United States Geological Surrey prior
to 1906 and records of varying length
are available for them. The records
for the Cedar and Wapsipintcon have
been continued uninterruptedly since
1903.
The records of the Iowa rivers will
be of value not only in planning for
the utilization of water power but
also in devising measures for prevent
ing foods. The river valleys are sub
ject TO severe overflow. The subject
of the pollution of the streams by
sewage is also becoming increasingly
important and in this connection the
low-water records are valuable in in
dicatiug the allowable degree of such
pollution.

Already held guilty by coroner's
