SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OP THE GREAT BASIN, 1960

SCOPE OP WORK

This volume is one of a series of 20 reports presenting records of stage, discharge,

and content of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1960 water

year. Since 1888, when the United States Geological Survey first studied streamflow in

relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have been obtained at more than

15,500 gaging stations in the 50 States. On September 30, 1960, the Geological Survey and

cooperating organizations were maintaining 7,300 gaging stations. Partial-record stations

for low flow or for flood flow have been operated at many other points. In addition, dis

charge measurements are made at miscellaneous sites. The records for the 1960 water year

at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites in The Great Basin are

given in this report.

COOPER (VTION

Charles Redd, chairman, succeeded by P. T. Jones, J. R. Bingham, director.

Wyoming: Office of State Engineer, Earl Lloyd.

Work in the Bear River basin (exclusive of Malad Valley) was done under cooperative

agreement with the Bear River Commission, E. 0. Larson, chairman.

Assistance in the form of funds or services was given by the Corps of Engineers, Depart

ment of the Army, in collecting records published herein for 2 gaging statiors in Utah and

5 in Nevada.

Assistance was also furnished by the Forest Service and the Soil Conservation Service

of the Department of Agriculture; the Pish and Wildlife Service and the Bureeu of Reclama

tion of the United States Department of the Interior.

The following organizations aided in collecting records:

DIVISION OF WORK

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

vey under the direction of personnel shown in the preface. The data for stations in the

several States were collected and prepared for publication in the district offices listed

below.

Commission projects.

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging sta

tions given in this report is on file in the district offices listed above. Some gaging-

station records for California have been analyzed by electronic computer to give; (1) the

number of days in each year that the daily discharge was between selected Units (duration

tables); (2) the lowest mean discharge for selected number of consecutive days in each

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

year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of electronic com

puter results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-station records may gener

ally be obtained from the district offices.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined

as follows:

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where system

atic 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 con

tinuous record of discharge is obtained.

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

systematically over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge of a stream whose channel is

1 square foot in cross-sectional area and whose average velocity is 1 foot p-?r second.

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 b? covered if

all the runoff for 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.

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 for 1 square mile.

Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height and the amount of water

flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS 3

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,

a long reach of the channel, or an artificial structure.

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.

The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a hori

zontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from

precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point.

Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing areas,

within the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to previously

published reports.

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS

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

order of listing gaging-station records was changed. In this report, in a dovnstream

direction along the main stem, all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem sta

tion are listed before that station. If a tributary enters between two main-stem stations,

it is listed between them. A similar order is followed in listing stations or first rank,

second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. To indicate the rank of any tritutary on

which a gaging station is situated and the stream to which it is immediately tributary,

each indention in the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents of this report

represents one rank. This downstream order and system of indention show which gaging

stations are on tributaries between any two stations on a main stem 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 station number. The numbers have been assigned in the same downstream

order used in this report. In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between

partial-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that 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 estab

lished; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete number for each station

includes the part number, but the station number shown in this report, just to the left of

the station name, consists of only the essential digits of the complete number. For

example, for a station with the complete number 10-0115.00, the station number shown in

this report is 115. The notation to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it is

10 for all stations in this report, with one exception, and is therefore omitted. The

exception is the transmountain diversions from Colorado River basin which were numbered as

part 9 stations. For those stations the "9-" is shown in the station number.

4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1960, PART 10

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 to supplement base data in determining the

daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a nonrecord-

ing gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctuations.

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 meth

ods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and are also outlined in standard textbooks on

the measurement of stream discharge.

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

determinations 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 daily mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean dis

charge 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 daily mean

discharge is determined by the shifting-control method, in which correction factors based

on individual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in

applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation for a sta

tion is temporarily changsd by the presence of aquatic growth or debris on the control, the

daily mean discharge is computed by what is essentially the shifting-control method.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by bacfâter from res

ervoirs, 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 dis

charge. 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 changing stage. If so, the rate of change in stage is

used as a factor in the determination of discharge.

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

mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice during

the winter, and it becomes impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Dis

charge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-heigfit record and

occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available infor

mation on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and com

parable records of discharge for other stations in the same or nearby basins. If the

stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, this information is given in a note to the

table. No mention is made of occasional days of ice effect if the degree of accuracy of

daily records is not changed.

The data herein presented generally comprise a description of the station, a skeleton

rating table, and a table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharge of

the stream. Records are published for the water year which begins on October 1 and ends

on September 30. A calendar for the water year 1960 is shown on page IV for the purpose

of finding the day of the week for any date.

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 of revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging sta

tion and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River mile

age, given under "Location" for some stations, is that determined and used by Corps of

Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given the periods for

which there are published records generally equivalent to those at the 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 references to "datum of 1929" and

adjustments of other years are to the datum and adjustments of the U. S. Coast and Geo

detic 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 o p record

cause the figure to have little significance. Under "Extremes" are given the maximum dis

charge and gage height; the minimum discharge if there is little or no regulation; the

minimum daily discharge if there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge if

useful); and the minimum gage height (unless it is of no importance). In the first para

graph, the data given are for the complete current water year unless otherwise specified.

In the second paragraph, the data given are for the periods of record within the calendar

year dates in the heading ôt 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 third or last paragraph under "Extremes." Unless

otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage obtained by use

of a water-stage recorder, 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 dis

charge, it is given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of th3 records

and conditions which affect the natural flow at gaging station is given under "Remarks."

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 records are usually pub

lished along with the current records in one of the annual 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 con

cerned in the revision, that 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.

Skeleton rating tables are generally published for all stations except those at which

the daily discharge for the greater part of the open-water period was determined by the

shifting-control method, the slope method, or other special methods involving an equiva

lent adjustment to the gage height of more than one-tenth foot. Skeleton rating tables

are generally not published for stations on canals.

For stations equipped with water-stage recorder, except those on streams subject to

sudden or rapid fluctuation, the daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the

daily mean gage height. For stations subject to such fluctuation the daily mean gage

height may not indicate the true daily mean discharge, which must be obtaired by averaging

the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, ar instrument for

obtaining the daily mean discharge from a continuous gage-height graph and containing, as

an essential element, a curve representing the stage-discharge relation at the station.

For stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the table of daily discharge gives the dis

charge corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage, or to the mean of twice-daily

readings, or to the mean gage height determined from gage-height graphs based on gage read

ings. For periods of rapidly changing stage, the daily mean discharge is determined from

gage-height graphs based on gage readings, the frequency of which is stated in the station

description.

In the table of daily discharge, the figures for the maximum day and the minimum day

for each month are underlined. If the figure is repeated, it is underlined only on the

first day of its occurrence.

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. 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.

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

daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stage. Like

wise, the minimums in this summary are the minimum daily discharges.

Peak discharges and the times of their occurrence and corresponding gage heights of

most stations are listed below the table of daily and monthly discharge. All independent

peaks above the selected base are given. The base discharge, which is givei in parenthe

ses, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak

discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which the

peaks are subject to substantial control by man.

ACCURACY OP FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 7

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge indicate periods when discharge was computed

or estimated by unusual or special methods during periods of no gage-height record and ice

effect, or by other effects that reduce the degree of accuracy of the record"?. Days on

which discharge measurements were made are indicated by asterisk and footnote unless they

were made at frequent regular intervals, in which instance the general frequency of dis

charge measurements is given under "Remarks" in the station description.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a descrip

tion of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reser

voirs a table showing daily contents or stage is given. A skeleton table of capacity at

given stages is published each year for all reservoirs for which records are published on

a daily basis, but it is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly data are given.

At many gaging stations water samples are collected from the streams for the purpose of

making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment loals, and

particle-size distribution, or measuring water temperatures. For most of th<sse samples

the results are published in an annual series of water-supply papers entitle-) "Quality of

Surface Waters of the United States" which is issued in four volumes. In this report

under "Remarks" a reference is made to quality-of-water records collected at gaging sta

tions on a regular basis and published in the quality-of-water reports. At many other

gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals an! published

as "miscellaneous analyses" in quality-of-water reports; such records are not referred to

in "Remarks" paragraph in this report. At many gaging stations water temperature is

obtained also at the time a discharge measurement is made; such temperature readings are

not reported in the quality-of-water annual reports.

Data collected at partial-record stations and at miscellaneous sites are given at the

end of each report. Partial-record stations are presented in two tables. T'le 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. Discharge measure

ments at miscellaneous sites are given in a third table. Occasionally, a series of dis

charge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the S3epage 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 after the list of measurements at

miscellaneous sites.

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 discharg? measurements,

and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpreta

tion of records.

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

indicates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed to be less than

5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," prob

ably more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff

are, in general, more nearly accurate than the daily records.


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

ural 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 when relatively large negative adjustments are made or when evaporation is large in

comparison with the observed discharge.

Many gaging stations on streams in the irrigated areas of the United States are situ

ated above most of the diversions from those streams, and therefore the discharge recorded

does not actually show the water supply available at the stations for further development,

because water must first be supplied to existing irrigation systems.

PUBLICATIONS

Basic data for gaging stations are published in an annual series of reports consisting

of 20 volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the

other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural

drainage lines. Formerly, the annual series of reports on surface-water supply consisted

of 14 volumes, one for each of the 14 parts. Beginning with the reports for 1951, the

records for the 48 States were published in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for

Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the various parts are indicated bv the following

12 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, I960, PART 10

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow was generally below median to deficient over most of the area during the

water year. In most of Nevada and in southern California and southern Utah streamflow was

seriously deficient most of the time. Only in Oregon was streamflow not considered defi

cient during the last six months of the water year. In September the elevation of Great

Salt Lake reached a new all-time low for the period of record which began In 1851. Floods

from cloudburst-type storms were limited to small areas. Flood from Peterson Creek near»

Sigurd, Utah, developed rates of streamflow exceeding 1,000 cubic feet per second per

square mile from 2.2 square miles.

Figure 2 on page 13, for which records of three long-term gaging stations were used,

shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharges for the 1960 wster year with

the median discharge for the period 1931-60.

Transmountain diversions from Colorado River basin to Sevier Lake basin

The following ditch and 2 tunnels In Utah, each equipped with a water-stage recorder, divert water from the Colorado River basin to the Sevier Lake basin. Records of dally flow collected by Geological Survey available in Salt Lake City district office. There are 10 other transmountain diversions in this area; however, they represent only a small portion of the total flow diverted, and records are available for these diversions from October 1949 to September 1958.

9-3095. Falrvlew ditch diverts water from tributaries of San Rafael River and Price River to San Pitch River basin. Gage Is located in SE^ sec.26, T.13 S., R.5 E.

Remarks. Topaz Reservoir, formerly known as Alkali Lake, was formed by the diversion of water from West Walker River through a feeder canal and the construction of an outlet tunnel through a low saddle in rim of lake. Storage began Jan. 30, 1222. Usable capac ity, 59,440 acre-ft between elevations 4,972.3 ft (lowest practical elevation for diversion through tunnel, bottom of outlet tunnel at elevation 4,970 ft), and 5,005 ft (3 ft below top of levee). Capacity of reservoir increased from about 45,000 to 59,440 acre-ft in October 1937 by an earth-fill, rock-faced levee at south end. Figures given herein represent usable contents. Water is used for irrigation in Walker River Irriga tion District.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 257

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 Geolog ical 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. In addition, discharge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. These measurements are generally made in times of drought or flood to give better areal coverage to those events. Those measurements and others collected for some special rea son are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.

Records collected at partial-record stations are generally presented in two tables. However, no records at low-flow partial-record stations are available for the 1960 water year. A table of annual maximum discharge at crest-stage stations is given f'.rst. fol lowed by a table of measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flot" and high flow.

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 inspec tions 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 fie 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 recori represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.

HUMBOLDT RIVER SEEPAGE INVESTIGATION 263

A series of discharge measurements was made on Apr. 12-15, June 14-16, and Aug. 9-11, 1960, on the Humboldt River, in Nevada, in a reach about 45 miles in length, between the gaging station at Comus and 1 mile downstream from the station near Rose Creek. The investigations of Apr. 12-15 and June 14-16 were made during the irrigation season and those of Aug. 9-11 during a period of fairly constant stage and very low flow at which time no diversions were being made. Indicated gains or losses may be substantially in error due to small inaccuracies in measurements.
