COMPILATION OF RECORDS OF SURFACE WATERS OF THE GREAT BASIN 1951-60

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This volume is one of a series of reports presenting monthly and yearly summaries of

streamflow and reservoir data collected by the Geological Survey during the period Octo

ber 1, 1950, to September 30, 1960. Included with these data are some records furnished

by other Federal, State, and private agencies. This series of reports is a condensation

of the detailed streamflow information presented in the annual series of reports known as

"Surface Water Supply of the United States" for each of the years 1951 through 1960. The

area covered by this report is The Great Basin.

The purpose of the present series of reports is to make available in summarized form

all of the surface-water records collected October 1, 1950, to September 30, 1960, and to

continue the series of reports known as Water-Supply Papers 1301-19 and 1372 which summa

rized all surface-water records through September 30, 1950. The present series of reports

includes corrections of errors which have been found in the earlier series. Also included

are some records collected prior to October 1, 1950, that were omitted from the 1950 compi

lation series.

The Geological Survey collected the records mainly in cooperation with State, municipal,

and other Federal agencies, and published then in detail in the series of annual reports

known as "Surface Water Supply of the United States." Some records furnished by other

agencies have been included in the annual reports and in the present series of reports;

such records are identified in the station description.

The data presented consist of records of discharge of streams and contents of reservoirs

summarized on a monthly and yearly basis. Results of miscellaneous discharge measurements

and, in general, stage records have been excluded. Also included is a map of the area

showing the location of each station (pi. 1). The reports of the present series are gen

erally similar in the type of data they contain and in the form of presentation; moreover,

they conform in style with the earlier series of compilation reports so that the entire rec

ord for any station up to September 30, 1960, is available in one or two volumes.

All records compiled for these summary reports were examined for major errors. A few

revisions were made and the revised figures, noted as such, are included. Some previously

unpublished information is included, as well as a few estimates of discharge that were

made to fill short gaps in an otherwise complete period of record.

DESCRIPTION OF DATA

The gaging-station records are arranged in downstream order. The order used in this

report is the same as that adopted for use in the annual series of reports on surface-

water supply beginning with the water year 1951. In a downstream direction along the main

stem, all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem station 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 on first rank, second rank, and

other ranks of tributaries. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a gaging sta

tion is situated and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in

2 COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 10

the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents represents one rank. This down

stream 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 tribuary on which each gaging station

Is situated.

As an added means of Identification, each station was assigned a number which Is shown

on the Index map and which Is a part of the station name In the heading of the description

In the text. The numbers are assigned In downstream order In each part (see explanation

of "parts" under the heading "Publications," p. 4) beginning with the most upstream sta

tion. The numbers are not consecutive'because gaps are left to allow for new stations

that may be established.

The data presented for most of the gaging stations comprise a description of the sta

tion, a table of monthly discharge In cUblc feet per second, a table of monthly discharge

In acre-feet, and a yearly summary table. The station description gives the name of the

river basin, the station number and name, the location, drainage area, records available,

types and datums of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks con

cerning the data, and a credit statement If records were furnished by another agency.

The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the best

available maps. When more than one site was used during water years 1951-60 and the dif

ference In drainage areas Is significant, the area for the latest site Is shown first fol

lowed by the areas for other sites In chronological order. In some Instances drainage -

area figures have not been obtained because of the lack of suitable maps or because the

boundaries cannot be defined or the effective drainage area determined.

The paragraph "Records available" lists all periods for which there are published rec

ords generally equivalent to those at the present site. If equivalent records have been

published under another station name, that fact is also noted.

The gage described first is the present gage or the one used most recently. Informa

tion is then given in chronological order for all gages used earlier, giving changes in

location, type of gage, or datum. The location or datum of all earlier gages is given

with reference to the present or most recently used gage. The datum of the gage is the

elevation of the zero of the gage above mean sea level. Where information as to datum is

not available, the altitude of the gage is given.

The average discharge for a station is the average of all complete water years and is

published only if there are five or more complete water years of record. The years used

to determine the average are not necessarily consecutive. The average discharge is not

published for some stations because of extensive changes in diversion or storage, or other

water development, that have occurred upstream.

In general, the momentary maximum and minimum discharges and stages for the entire

period of record are published in the "Extremes" paragraph. These are qualified if neces

sary according to the types of gage used and the completeness of the record. Maximum and

minimum discharges at nonrecording gaging stations are qualified as "observed" unless

determined from a graph drawn through actual gage heights which approximates the actual

hydrograph.

Under "Remarks" information is given on factors which affect the basin runoff character

istics. These include upstream regulation, diversion, and utilization a history of

DESCRIPTION OP DATA 3

changes in these items during the period 1951-60 is given when known. Also, references

are made to the records of storage or diversion upstream and to records concerning quality

of water, if published.

When discharge records are furnished by another agency, credit is given under "Cooper

ation."

The streamflow data summarized in this report generally are contained in two monthly

tables and one yearly table. The first monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and

yearly mean discharges in cubic feet per second. These figures represent discharge pass

ing the station; they are unadjusted for storage or diversion upstream unless otherwise

specified under "Remarks" for the individual station. Each monthly figures is the mean

flow for the entire month; generally no record for part of a month is tabulated. Likewise,

each yearly figure is the mean flow for a full year, and no figure is shown for a partial

year. Usually the months are arranged on a water-year basis. Exceptions to this rule are

made in connection with seasonal records wherein the months are grouped to give a complete

season for each calendar year.

The second monthly table is a tabulation of monthly and yearly discharge in acre-feet.

The third table contains a yearly summary of the streamflow data. The column headed

"WSP" lists the number of the water-supply paper in which the figures of daily and monthly

discharge are published. If a part of the record has been revised and the revision pub

lished, then reference is made to both the original report and the one containing the

revised record; if the daily discharge record for the entire year has been republished to

include the revisions, then only the later report is listed. However, there is no refer

ence in this column for revisions published for the first time in this report, as the cor

responding revised figures of daily discharge will be published in a water-supply paper

which will contain daily recorda for the period 1961-65. For some stations the third table

is omitted; however, the report containing records for any particular year can generally be

found by referring to the table given on page 6.

In the third table the momentary maximum discharge for each water year and the date of

its occurrence is given if known. For nonrecording gage records, momentary maximums were

obtained from graphs drawn through the gage readings. The momentary maximum discharge,

however obtained, is not qualified in any way if it is believed to be representative of -

the absolute maximum for the water year.

The minimum daily discharge for each water year is listed if known. Other data listed

in this table are the annual mean discharge and discharge in acre-feet for both the water

year and the calendar year. The figures listed for the water year are the same as those

given in the yearly columns of the preceding tables.

Most canal and diversion records are given in a single table. There are some records

for large canals, however, that are published in the same detail as those for streams.

Records of reservoirs also are given in a single table which shows the contents at the

end of each month.

Revised figures of discharge for water years 1951-60 are not so indicated if they have

been published in an annual report, but are noted as "Revised" if they have not been pub

lished in an annual report. Revised daily figures which have not been published in annual

reports will be published in the water-supply paper containing records for water years

1961-65, except for special cases involving only a few figures which are included in this

series of reports. Figures that represent corrections of typographical or computational

COMPILATION OF SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 10

errors whereas no figures of daily discharge have been revised or changed are indicated as

"corrected" in this report. Estimates of discharge made to complete months or years for

this report are noted as estimates and as "not previously published."

Revisions or corrections of records published in WSP 1314 are included in this report.

Records for some stations in the area covered by this report, previously published by

the Geological Survey in the 1951-60 annual series of reports, are omitted from this com

pilation. In general, the records for such stations either did not measure streamflow,

total diversions, or return flow and were considered not important enough to warrant pub

lication in this report. These stations are listed in the following table:

COMPILATION OP SURFACE WATER RECORDS, PART 10

In addition to the customary records of discharge collected during the systematic oper

ation of gaging stations, there is much additional hydrologic information available, both

published and unpublished.

Lists of flood reports and other special reports are contained in the introductory pages

of each of the annual reports listed above.

Records for many stations have been analyzed by an electronic computor to give: the

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

tables); the lowest and highest mean discharges for selected numbers of consecutive days

in each year; and other statistical summaries.

Data on low flow or peak flows or both are available for many sites other than gaging

stations.

Specific information on unpublished data available can be obtained by writing directly

to the district engineer for the State in which the site or gaging station is located.

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow, a residual of precipitation after other demands have been met, varies con

siderably from year to year and from place to place. Figure 2 shows yearly discharge for

three widely-separated gaging stations in The Great Basin. The pattern of yearly runoff

shown by these streams is generally representative of hydrologic conditions in their parts

of the report area. Water supplies in The Great Basin decreased during the 1951-60 period.

At the gaging station West Fork Mojave River near Hisperia, Calif., there was no flow in

the entire 1951 water year and only 2 days of flow in the 1960 water year. These were the

driest years during the 49-year period of record.

Gage. Water-stage recorder at Boat Harbor since October 1938 at datum 4,186.9 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Prior to October 1938,'staff gages at sites and datums as follows: September 1875 to October 1877 at Black Rock at datum 4,208.4 ft above mean sea level, November 1877 to November 1879 at Parmington Bay at datum 4,206.9 ft above mean sea level, November 1879 to April 1881 near Black Rock at datum 4,203.1 ft above mean sea level, April 1881 to December 1899 at Garfield Landing at datum 4,198.5 ft above mean sea level, and July 1903 to October 1938 at Saltair at datum 4,196.9 ft above mean sea level. Staff gage at Midlake October 1902 to September 1956 at datum 4,197.9 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929.

Extremes.--1875-99, 1902-60: Maximum elevation observed, 4,210.9 ft June 30, 1876; mini mum, 4,193.60 ft Sept. 15, 1960.

Maximum elevation since 1851, 4,211.6 ft in 1873, computed from traditional data by E. C. LaRue.

Remarks. To compensate for wind effect and seiches, elevation given for the gage are taken from a mean slope line defined by several days' gage-height graph preceding and following 12:01 a.m. for the first of each month. Wind effects may cause substantial changes in elevation which are not shown in the published elevations.

Correction. In WSP 1314, the elevations for April, June, July and August 1924 are listed in error: they should be 204.9, 205.1, 204.7, 204.5, and 204.0, respectively.

1395. Ogden River near Ogden, Utah

Location. La t 41°15 I 15", long 111°50'40", in NE^SW^ sec. 16, T.6 N. , R.I E., on left bank 500 ft downstream from Wheeler Creek, 1,000 ft downstream from Pine View Dam, and 65- miles east of Ogden.


Records available. January 1904 to September 1912, October 1931 to September 1959. Monthly discharge only October 1937 to September 1959.

Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 4,803.33 ft above mean sea level (levels by Bureau of Reclamation). Prior to Aug. 24, 1932, hook or chain gage and Aug. 25, 1932, to Sept. 30, 1954, water-stage recorder, at site 1,000 ft downstream at datum 5.03 ft lower.

Average discharge. 36 years (1904-12, 1931-59), 245 cfs (combined flow of river and pipeline , unadjusted for storage in Pine View Reservoir).

Extremes. --1904-12, 1932-59: Maximum combined daily discharge (flow in river and pipeline) 3,430 cfs Apr. 23, 1936; no flow Nov. 19, 20, 22, Dec. 15, 1936, when reservoir gates were closed. For river only, momentary maximum discharge, 3,700 cfs Apr. 24, 1936 (gage height, 11.48 ft), when pipeline was not in operation.

Remarks. --Records give combined flow of river and Pine View pipeline which diverts water above station for irrigation and power development. Pipeline has diverted at Pine View Dam since its construction in 1936, and at a small diversion dam at about the same site prior to that. Records do not include diversions for culinary use by the City of Ogden at Pine View Dam and an unmeasured discharge from pipeline which spills at No. 7 tunnel near mouth of canyon; this discharge is estimated to have been 1 or 2 cfs since 1945 and much higher prior to 1945. Flow of river affected by storage in Pine View Reservoir (see p. 88) beginning November 1936 and by diversions for irrigation and municipal supply above Pine View Reservoir.

Cooperation. --Records for Pine View pipeline from reports of Ogden River Water Commissioner.

1675. Little Cottonwood Creek near Salt Lake City, Utah

Location. Lat 40°34'40", long 111"47'50", in NE^NE^- sec. 11, T.3 S., R.I E., at mouth of canyon 100 ft west of Wasatch Drive, 2 miles downstrean from Wasatch Resort, and 14 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Drainage area. 27.4 sq mi (revised).Records available. November 1898 to May 1899, August to November 1904, October 1905 to

March 1906, January to March 1907, November 1907 to March 1908, December 1908 to April 1909, November 1909 to March 1910, September 1910 to March 1911, January 1912 to Septem ber 1960. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1314.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and Parshall flume on creek. Altitude of gage is 5,080 ft Tfrom topographic map). Supplementary gages measuring bypassed water: Cippoletti weir on City conduit, 24-inch rated gate on Farmers conduit, and separate weirs on West Side Water Co.'s conduit, Beaver Pond Springs and Sandy ditch. Prior to 1920, two weirs on creek at site about 1 mile downstream at different datum, stage determined by measure ment from fixed point; two small irrigation ditches bypassed gage unmeasured.

1920-23, flow computed as sum of all diversions; method of measurement of flow not known. 1924 to January 1940, concrete flume l£ miles upstream from present site and above all diversions prior to 1931; water bypassing gage after 1930 measured by separate weirs on tailrace of Murray City powerplant, Beaver Pond Springs, and Sandy ditch.

Average discharge.--11 years (1912-23), 67.1 cfs (48,580 acre-ft); 37 years (1923-60), 58.6 cfs (42,420 acre-ft).

Extremes. 1912-13, 1915-60: Maximum daily discharge, 762 cfs June 11, 1921; minimum daily, 4.2 cfs Jan. 10, 1934.

Remarks. Some storage and regulation in several small lakes and reservoirs. Severaldiversions above station for irrigation above and below station. Diversions above sta tion for municipal supply and for three powerplants, of which discharge from two upper plants returns to creek above gage. Discharge which bypasses gage through conduits is included in record published herewith. Record since 1920 includes all water bypassing gage and shows natural flow except for small irrigation diversions above and except for slight storage and regulation mentioned above. Prior to 1920, record does not include two small irrigation diversions. Record prior to 1924 not equivalent to those after 1924 due to channel losses between sites.

Cooperation. Records for 1951-60, not previously published by Geological Survey, furnished by office of City Engineer of Salt Lake City.

1685. Big Cottonwood Creek near Salt Lake City, Utah

Location. Lat 40"37'10", long 111"47'00", in SW^NE^ sec.25, T.2 S., R.I E., at mouth of canyon, about 80 ft upstream from Wasatch Boulevard bridge, a quarter of a mile down stream from Utah Power & Light Co.'s plant, and 12 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Drainage area. 50 sq mi (revised).

Records available. October 1958 to September 1960. ods, published in WSP 1314.

Monthly discharge only for some peri-

Gage. Water-stage recorder and two cippoletti weirs. Altitude of gage is 4,880 ft (from topographic map). Prior to 1908, water-leve] indicating glass tube at lower side of weirs.


Extremes. 1898-1960: Maximum daily discharge (corrected), 835 cfs June 6, 1909; minimum daily, 4.5 cfs Jan. 10, 1937.

Remarks. Some regulation during low flow since beginning of record by Utah Power & Light Co.'s plant about a quarter of a mile upstream. Adjustments have been made to the record for storage of municipal water at Brighton in Lake Mary (capacity, 742 acre-ft). Butler ditch, which has title to 0.89 percent of creek flow, diverts about three- quarters of a mile upstream from station for irrigation below station. The flow in Butler ditch was included in records May 16 to Sept. 30, 1912, only.

Cooperation.--Records for 1951-60, not previously published by Geological Survey, furnished by office of City Engineer of Salt Lake City.

Correction. In WSP 1314, the mean for August 1912 is published in error; it should be 69.3 cfs. The maximum daily discharge under "Extremes" also is published in error; it should be as listed under ''Extremes lr~above. The figure of 848 cfs published in WSP 1314 is the momentary maximum discharge for June 7, 1912.

Irrigation District). Extremes.--1921-60: Maximum contents observed, 60,240 acre-ft June 30, 1941 (elevation, 5,005.35 ft); no contents observed Oct. 31, 1924, Sept. 22, 24-30, 1960.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, 1922. Usable capac ity, 59,440 acre-ft between elevations 4,972.3 (lowest practical elevation for diver sion 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.
