WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Part 1. Surface-Water Records Part 2. Water-Quality Records
INTRODUCTION
Water-resources data in this report include records of streamflow, lake stage, and reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, misecllaneous sites and chemical and physical characteristics of surface water. Records for a few pertenent gaging stations in bordering States also are included. Locations of gaging stations on streams and lakes are shown in figure 1. Locations of water-quality stations are shown in figure 6. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of C.L.R. Holt, Jr., district chief. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies . in Wisconsin.
Through September 30 , 1960, the records of discharge and state of streams, and contents and stage of lakes and reservoirs were published in an annual series of U.S. Geo logical Survey Water-Supply Papers titled "Surface Water Supply of the United States". Streamflow records for 1961- 65 are published in a Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper series titled, "Surface Water Supply of the United States 1961-65". The Geological Survey has published records of chemical quality, suspended sediment, and water temperatures since 1941 in an annual series of Water-Supply Papers titled, "Quality of Surface Waters of the United States".
Beginning with the 1961 water year, streamflow records and related data have been released by the Geological Survey in annual reports on a State-boundary basis. Beginning with the 1964 water year, water-quality records have been re leased with streamflow records or in a separate part. Dis tribution of these reports is limited; they are designed primarily for rapid release of data shortly after the end of the water year.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
COOPERATION
The U.S. Geological Survey and organizations of the State of Wisconsin have had cooperative agreements for the systematic col lection of streamflow records since 1913, and for water-quality records since 1963. Organizations that supplied data are ac knowledged in station descriptions.
Organizations that assisted in collecting records through cooperative agreement with the Survey are:
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, L. P. Voigt, secretary.
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, G. H. Bakke and N. M. Clapp, secretaries, and W. A. Kline, chief bridge engineer.
The University of Wisconsin-Extension, Geological and Natural History Survey, George F. Hanson, state geologist and director.
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, Kurt W. Bauer, executive director.
Assistance in the form of funds or services was given by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, in collecting surface-water records for 22 gaging stations published in this report, and by the Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of the Interior, in collecting records for one water-quality station published in this report. Assistance also was furnished by the Environmental Science Services Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co.; Lake Superior District Power Co.; Wisconsin-Michigan Power Co.; Wis consin Public Service Corp.; Northern States Power Co.; Dairyland Power Cooperative; Wisconsin Power and Light Co.; Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co.; Wisconsin River Power Co.; Milwaukee County Park Commission; Milwaukee Water Works, Linwood Avenue Plant; and the city of Madison.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Terms related to streamflow, water-quality, and other hydro- logic data, as used in this report, are defined as follows;
Acre-foot (AC-FT, acre-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or about 326,000 gallons.
Bed material is the shifting portion of fragmented material in the streambed.
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of oxygen required by bacteria while stabilizing decomposable organic mat ter under aerobic conditions.
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, approximately 1.9835 acre-feet, or about 646,000 gallons, and represents a runoff of approximately 0.0372 inch from 1 square mile.
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) indicates the quantity of oxidizable compounds in water and varies with water composition, temperature, period of contact, and other factors.
Coliform organisms are a group of bacteria that indicate the sanitary quality of water. The number of coliform colonies per 100 milliliters is determined by the immediate or delayed incubation membrane filter method.
Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir or lake. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage.
Control designates a feature downstream from a gage that determines the stage-discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, an arti ficial structure, or a uniform cross section over a long reach of the channel.
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.
4 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge repre sent! ng~^T^oT\meo^~T~^uETc foot passing a given point during 1 second and is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons per second or 448.8 gallons per minute.
Discharge is the volume of fluid that passes a given point within a given period of time.
Mean discharge is the arithmetic average of indi vidual daily mean discharges during a specific period.
Instantaneous discharge is the discharge at a particular instant of time. Where this discharge is used in tables instead of the daily mean f the column heading is "Discharge (cfs)".
Drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a horizontal plane, enclosed by a topographic divide from which direct surface runoff from precipitation normally drains by gravity into the stream above the specified point. Drainage-area figures include the entire basin area including noncontributing areas unless otherwise noted.
Gage height (G.H.) is the water-surface height referred to an arbitrary datum. Gage height ofter is used interchangeably with "stage", although gage height is more appropriate when used as a gage reading.
Gaging station is a site on a stream, canal, lake or reser voir where systematic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used with a discharge record, the term applies only to gaging stations having a continuous discharge record.
Hardness of water is a physical-chemical characteristic attributable"~to the presence of alkaline earths (principally calcium and magnesium) and is expressed as equivalent calcium carbonate (CaC03).
Methylene blue active substance (MBAS) is a measure of detergents in water. This determination depends on the forma tion of a blue color when methylene blue dye reacts with snythetic detergent compounds.
Micrograms per liter (ug/1, UG/L) is a unit expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution as the weight (micrograms) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. One thousand micrograms per liter is equivalent to one milligram per liter.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Milligrams per liter (mg/1, MG/L) is a unit for expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution. Milli grams per liter represents the weight of solute per unit volume of water. Milligrams or micrograms per liter may be converted to milliequivalents (one thousandth of a gram-equivalent weight of a constituent) per liter by multiplying by the factors in table 1, page 5. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in mg/1, and is based on the weight of sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture. Sediment concentrations may be converted to parts per million by using the factors in table 2, page 6.
Partial-record station is a site where limited streamflow or water-quality data are collected systematically over a period of years.
Particle size is the diameter, in millimeters (mm), of suspended sediment or bed material determined by either sieve or sedimentation methods. Sedimentation methods (pipet, bottom- withdrawal tube, visual-accumulation tube) determine fall diam eter of particles in either distilled water (chemically dis persed) or in native water (the stream water at the time and point of sampling) (Guy, 1969).

*Based on water density of 1.000 g/ml (grams per millitier) and a specific gravity of sediment of 2.65.
Runoff in inches (IN.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all runoff for a given time period were uniformly distributed.
Sediment is solid material that originates mostly from dis integrated rocks and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited from water; it includes chemical and biochemical precipitates and decomposed organic material such as humus. The quantity, char acteristics, and cause of sediment in streams are influenced by environmental factors. Some major factors are geology, topography, soil characteristics, land use, and the quantity and intensity of precipitation.
Suspended sediment is the sediment that is maintained in suspension by the upward components of turbulent currents or that is suspended as a colloid.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971 7
Suspended-sediment discharge is the rate at which a dry weight of sediment passes a stream section, or it is the dry weight or volume discharged during a time period. It is the product of the instantaneous stream discharge, the concentration (mg/1), and 0»0027.
Suspended-sediment concentration is the velocity- weighted amount of suspended sediment in the sampled zone (from the water surface to a point approximately 0.3 ft above the bed) expressed as milligrams of dry sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture (mg/1).
Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) expresses the relative activity of sodium ions in exchange reactions with soil and is an index of the sodium or alkali hazard to the soil. This ratio is used to determine the suitability of water for irrigation.
Solute is any substance derived from the atmosphere, vegeta tion, 1F6TT7 or rocks that is dissolved in water.
Specific conductance is a measure of the ability of water to conduct electric current and is expressed in micromhos per centimeter at 25°C. Because specific conductance is related to the number and types of ions in solution, it can be used to approximate the dissolved-solids content in water. Commonly the amount of dissolved solids (in milligrams per liter) is about 65 percent of the specific conductance (in micromhos). This rela tion differs from stream to stream and from well to well; it may even differ with the composition of ions in the water.
Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height and the volume of water (per unit of time) flowing in a channel.
Thermograph is a thermometer that continuously records the water temperature on a chart. "Temperature recorder" is the term used to indicate a thermograph or digital mechanism that automatically records water temperatures on paper tape.
Tons per acre-foot indicates the dry weight of dissolved solids in 1 acre-foot of water. It is the product of the sediment concentration (in mg/1) and 0.00136.
Tons per day is the quantity of a substance in solution or suspension that passes a stream section during 24 hours.
WRD is an abbreviation for "Water-Resources Data" in the summary REVISIONS paragraph that refers to published State annual basic-data reports.
WSP is an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper".

SPECIAL NETWORKS AND PROGRAMS
Hydrologic bench'-mark station is one that provides hydro- log ic"cfaTa~?oT^~^^sTn~Tn~v^n]cE~TEe hydrologic regimen will likely be governed solely by natural conditions. Data collected at a bench-mark station may be used to separate effects of natural from manmade changes in other basins which have been developed and in which the physiography, climate, and geology are similar to those in the undeveloped bench-mark basin.
DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBER
Stations are listed in a downstream direction along the main stream, and stations on tributaries are listed between stations on the main stream in the order in which those tributaries enter the main stream. Stations on tributaries entering above all mainstream stations are listed before the first mainstream station. Stations on tributaries to tributaries are listed in a similar manner. In the lists of gaging stations and water- quality stations in the front of this report the rank of tribu taries is indicated by indention, each indention representing one rank.
For identification, each gaging station, partial-record station, and water-quality station has been assigned a station number. These numbers are in the same downstream order mentioned above. In assigning station numbers no distinction is made be tween partial-record stations and gaging stations. Water-quality stations located at or near gaging stations or partial-record stations have the same number as the gaging or partial-record station. Gaps are left in the series of numbers so that new stations may be established. The complete 8-digit number for each station, such as 05407000 appears just left of the station name and includes the 2-digit part number "05" plus the 6-digit downstream order number w 407000". In this report the records are listed in downstream order by parts. The part number refers to an area bounded by certain natural major drainage lines. Records in this report are in Part 4 (St. Lawrence River basin) and Part 5 (Upper Mississippi River basin). All records for a drainage basin encompassing more than one State can be arranged in downstream order by assembling pages from the various State reports by station number.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
Collection and computation of data
The basic data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements of discharge of streams or canals, and stage, surface area, and contents of lakes and reservoirs. In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation or the stage-capacity relation, weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the daily flow or volume of water in storage. Records of stage are obtained from direct readings on a non- recording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives either a continuous graph of the fluctuations or a tape punched at 15, 30-, or 60-minute intervals. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter, using the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These methods are described in standard textbooks, in Water-Supply Paper 888, and in U.S. Geological Survey Tech niques of Water Resources Investigations, book 3, chapter A6. Surface areas of lakes or reservoirs are determined from instru ment surveys using standard methods. The configuration of the reservoir bottom is determined by sounding at many points.
Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are pre pared from stage-discharge relation curves. If extensions to the rating curves are necessary to express discharges greater than those measured, they are made on the basis of indirect measurements of peak discharge (such as slope-area or contracted- opening measurements, computation of flow over dams or weirs), velocity-area studies, and logarithmic plotting. The daily mean discharge is computed from gage heights and rating tables, and the monthly and yearly mean discharges are computed from the daily figures. 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 computed 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 station is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth or debris, the daily mean discharge is computed by what is basically the shifting-control method.
10 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
At some stream-gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater from reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method in computing discharge. The slope or fall is obtained by means of an auxiliary gage separated from the base gage. At some stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by changing stage; at these stations the rate of change in stage is used as a factor in computing discharge.
At some stream-gaging stations the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice and it is impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Discharge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-height record and occasional winter discharge measurements, considering available information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and hydrologists, and comparable records of discharge for other sta tions in the same or nearby basins.
For some gaging stations there are periods without gage- height record or the recorded gage height is faulty. This happens when the recorder stops or fails to operate properly, intakes are plugged, the float is frozen in the well, or for other reasons. For such periods the daily discharges are esti mated on the basis of recorded range in stage, adjoining good record, discharge measurements, weather records, and comparison with station records from the same or nearby basins.
Data in this report include a general description of the stations and tabulations of daily and monthly figures. A table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharges is given for gaging stations on streams or canals. A monthly summary table of stage and contents or a table showing the daily contents is given for gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs. Records are published for the water year, which begins October 1 and ends September 30. A calendar for the current water year is shown on the reverse side of the front cover to facilitate finding the day of the week for any date.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971 11
The description of the gaging stations gives the location, drainage area, period of record, type and history of gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge or contents, general remarks, and notations of revisions of previously published records. The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the most accurate maps available. River mileage, given under "LOCATION" for some stations, is that determined and used by the Corps of Engineers or other agencies. Periods for which there are published records for the present station or for stations generally equivalent to the present one are given under "PERIOD OF RECORD." The type of gage currently in use, 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 record are given under "GAGE." In references to datum of gage, the phrase "mean sea level" denotes "Sea Level Datum of 1929" as used by the Topographic Division of the Geological Survey unless otherwise qualified. The average discharge for the number of years indicated is given under "AVERAGE DISCHARGE;" it is not given for stations having fewer than 5 complete years of record or for stations where changes in water development during the period of record cause the figure to have little significance. In addition, the median of yearly mean discharges is given for stream-gaging stations having 10 or more complete years of record if the median differs from the average by more than 10 percent. The maximum discharge (or contents) and the maximum gage height, the minimum discharge if there is little or no regulation (or minimum contents) and the minimum gage height if it is significant are given under "EXTREMES." The minimum daily discharge is given if there is extensive regulation (also the minimum discharge and gage height if they are abnormally low). In the first paragraph headed "Current year," the data given are for the complete current water year unless otherwise specified. In the second paragraph under "EXTREMES" headed "Period of record:" the data given are for the period of record given in PERIOD OF RECORD paragraph. Reliable information concerning major floods that occurred outside the period of record is given in the third or last paragraph under "EXTREMES." Unless other wise qualified, the maximum discharge (or contents) corresponds to the crest stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder (graphic or digital), 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 discharge (or contents) it is given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the discharge records, to conditions that affect the natural flow at the gaging station, and availability of Water Quality records, is given under "REMARKS."
12 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN , 1971
Published records of some stations were found to be erro neous, based on data obtained later. Refisions of erroneous records usually are published with the current records in one of the annual or compilation reports. A paragraph headed "REVISIONS (WATER YEARS)" has been added to the description of all stations having published revised records. All reports in which revisions have been published are listed, each followed by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the water years, only one year is given; for instance, 1965 stands for the period October 1, 1964, to September 30, 1965. If no daily, monthly, or annual figures of discharge were revised, notations after the dates indicate the following re visions: "(M)" only instantaneous maximum discharge; "(m) n only the instantaneous minimum; and "(P)" only peak discharges. If the drainage area has been revised, the water year is given in which the revised figure was first published. For all stations with published cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches, a revision of the drainage area necessitates revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches, re sulting from revised drainage area only, usually are not published in the annual report series.
Skeleton rating tables are published for stream-gaging sta tions where they are useful and where applicable dates are easily identified..
The daily table for a stream-gaging station gives the dis charge corresponding to the daily mean gage height unless large " or rapid changes occur in the discharge during a day. For days having large or rapid changes, discharge for the day is computed by averaging the mean discharge for several parts of a day. Where digital recorders are used, the daily mean discharge is the average discharge at each punched reading. For stations equipped with nonrecording gages, the daily discharge corresponds to once-daily readings of the gage or to the mean of twice-daily readings; for periods of rapidly changing stage the discharge is determined from a gage-height graph based on gage readings.
A monthly summary is below the daily table. For stream- gaging stations the line headed "TOTAL" gives the sum of the daily figures. The line headed "MEAN" gives the average flow in cubic feet per second during the month. The lines headed "MAX" and "MIN" give the maximum and minimum daily discharges, respectively, for the month. Discharge for the month also may be expressed in cubic feet per second per square mile (line headed "CFSM") and in inches (line headed "IN."). Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if there is extensive regulation or diversion, or if the drainage area includes large noncontributing areas.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971 13
In the yearly summary, below the monthly summary, the figures following "MAX" are the maximum daily discharges for the calendar and water years; likewise, those following "MIN" are the minimum daily discharges.
Footnotes to the daily-discharge table are introduced by the word "NOTE". Footnotes indicate periods for which the dis charge is computed or estimated by special methods because of no gage-height record, backwater, or other unusual conditions. Periods of no gage-height record are indicated if the period is continuous for a month or more or includes the maximum discharge for the year. Periods of backwater, indefinite stage-discharge relation, or other unusual condition at the gage site are indi cated only if they are a month or more in length and the accuracy of the records is affected. Days on which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice are not indicated. The methods used to compute discharge for several unusual conditions have been explained.
Peak discharges, their times of occurrence, and the cor responding gage heights for many stations are listed below the yearly summary. All peaks above the selected base are listed. The base discharge, in parentheses, is selected to present about three peaks a year. Peak discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or streams substantially controlled by man. Time of day is expressed in 24-hour local standard time; for example 12:30 a.m. is 0030, and 1:30 p.m. is 1330.
Information for gaging stations on lakes includes a station description and a monthly summary table of stage. Information for reservoir stations includes a description and location paragraph and month-end contents, in millions of cubic feet.
Data collected at partial-record stations and miscellaneous sites are listed in three tables at the end of the surface-water records. The first table is discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, the second is annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations, and the third is discharge measurements at miscellaneous sites. A fourth table lists measured discharges for low-flow investigations.
14 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Accuracy of Data
The accuracy of discharge data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and interpretation of records.
The station description under "REMARKS" states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" means that about 95 percent of the daily discharges is within 5 percent; "good" within 10 percent; and "fair" within 15 percent. "Poor" means that daily discharges have less than "fair" accuracy.
Figures of daily mean discharge are to the nearest hundredth of a cubic foot per second for discharges of less than 1 cfs; to tenths between 1.0 and 10 cfs; to whole numbers between 10 and 1,000 cfs; and to 3 significant figures above 1,000 cfs. The number of significant figures used is based on the magnitude of the figure. The same rounding rules apply to discharge figures for partial-record stations and miscellaneous sites.
Discharge at many stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may not reflect natural runoff due to diversion, consumption, storage regulation, 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. Evaporation from a reservoir is not included in the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents unless it is so stated. Even where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff may occur if adjustments or losses are large in comparison with the observed discharge.
Publications
Each Water-supply Paper titled "Surface Water Supply of the United States" has a list of previous Water-Supply Papers con taining streamflow information for the area covered by that report. There is also a list of Water-Supply Papers containing detailed information on major floods in the area. Records for stations in Wisconsin for the period October 1960 through Septem ber 1965 are in Water-Supply Papers 1911, 1914, and 1915.
WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971 15
Two series of summary reports titled "Compilation of Records of Surface Waters of the United States" have been published; the first series covers the entire period of record through Septem ber 1950 and the second series covers the period October 1950 through Secptember 1960. These reports contain summaries of monthly and annual discharge and monthend storage for all pub lished records, as well as some records not contained in the annual series of Water-Supply Papers. All records were revised where warranted. Estimated discharges fill short gaps whenever practical. The yearly summary table for each gaging station lists the numbers of the Water-Supply Papers in which daily records were published for that station. Records for stations in Wisconsin are compiled in Water-Supply Papers 1307 and 1308 through September 1950, and in 1727 and 1728 for October 1950 through September 1960.
Special reports on major floods or droughts or of other hydrologic studies for the area have been issued in publications other than Water-Supply Papers. Information relative to these reports may be obtained from the district office.
Other data available
More detailed information than that published for most gaging stations, such as discharge measurements, gage-height records, and rating tables, is on file in the district office. Also most gaging-station records are available in computer- usable form, and many statistical analyses have been made.
WATER QUALITY RECORDS
Collection and examination of data
Water samples for analyses usually are collected at or near gaging stations. The discharge records at these stations are used with the computations of the chemical constituents and sedi ment loads in this report.
Descriptions of water-quality stations located at or near streamflow stations include location, drainage area, periods of record for the various water-quality data, extremes of pertinent data, and general remarks. The format is similar to that used for streamflow gaging stations.
16 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Water-quality information includes chemical quality, bio logical, microbiological, water temperature, and fluvial sediment. Chemical quality includes concentrations of dissolved constituents and certain properties of characteristics such as hardness, sodium adsorption ratio, specific conductance, and pH. The biological information includes qualitative and quantitative analyses of plankton, bottom organisms, and particulate inorganic and amorphous matter. Microbiological information includes quantitative identification of certain bacteriological indicator organisms. Water-temperature data represent once-daily observa tions except for stations with a continuous temperature recorder from which daily minimums and maximums are obtained. Fluvial- sediment information is given for suspended-sediment discharges and concentrations, and particle-size distribution of suspended sediment and bed material.
Before the 1968 water year, data for chemical constituents and concentration of suspended sediment were reported in parts per million (ppm), and water temperatures were reported in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). In October 1967 the U.S. Geological Survey began to use the metric system; data for chemical constituents and concentrations of suspended sediment are now reported in milligrams per liter (mg/1), and water temperatures are given in degrees Celsius (centigrade, °C). In waters with a density of 1.000 g/ml (grams per millititer), parts per million and milligrams per liter can be considered equal. In waters with a density greater than 1.000 g/ml, values in parts per million should be multiplied by the density to convert to milligrams per liter. Temperatures in degrees Celsius are converted to Fahrenheit in table 3, page 17.
In October 1968, the Geological Survey began reporting many chemical constituents and minor elements in micrograms per liter. (See "Definition of Terms," p. 4.)

Solutes
Methods of collecting and analyzing water samples for determining the kinds and concentrations of solutes are described by Brown, Skougstad, and Fishman (1970). One sample can define adequately the water quality at a given time if the mixture of solutes throughout the stream cross section is homogeneous. However, the concentration of solutes at different locations in the cross section may vary widely with different rates of water discharge, depending on the source of material and the turbulence and mixing of the water. Some streams must be sampled at several verticals across the channel to determine accurately the solute load.
18 WATER RESOURCES DATA FOR WISCONSIN, 1971
Temperature
Water temperatures are measured at most water-quality stations. Large streams have a small diurnal temperature change; small, shallow streams may have a daily range of sev eral degrees and may follow closely the changes in air temper ature. Some streams may be affected by waste-head discharges.
Records at stations having continuously recording thermo graphs include maximum and minimum daily temperatures and monthly averages.
Sediment
Suspended-sediment concentrations are determined from samples collected with depth-integrating samplers. Samples usually are obtained at a single vertical in the cross-section. During periods of high or rapidly changing flow, samples are taken twice or more throughout the day at many stations. Suspended-sediment samples are collected periodically at all stations. Although such data may represent conditions only at the time of collection, they are useful in establishing rela tions between sediment discharge and streamflow. These rela tions are used to predict long-term sediment-discharge char acteristics for the stream.
In addition to the records of the quantities of suspended sediment, records of periodic measurements of the particle-size distribution of the suspended sediment and bed material are included.

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
Annual runoff in Wisconsin for the water year ending Sept. 30, 1971, ranged from near normal for most streams to above nor mal in areas of the west-central and southeastern parts of the State (see figure 2). Runoff was 150 percent of the average for 21 years of record for the Hay River at Wheeler. Runoff of the Galena River at Buncombe was about 80 percent of the average for the past 32 years.

Fall streamflow was above normal at most gaging stations (see figure 3). Winter streamflow was above normal in the north and near or below normal in the south. Spring runoff was char acterized by high April runoff in the north. Flow of the St. Croix River at St. Croix Falls was 175 percent of average for April. August runoff was above normal in many areas due to sub stantial rains near monthend.
Figures 4 and 5 show extremes of stage during the water year 1971 for selected lakes.

90 CHIPPEWA RIVER BASIN
Reservoirs in Chippewa River Basin
The six reservoirs Listed below are used to stabilize the flow of the Chippewa, Flambeau, and Red Cedar Rivers for power utilization, and are also used for recreational purposes. The first four are operated by Chippewa-Flambeau Improvement Co. The remaining two are operated by the Northern States Power Co., which also furnishes the gage heights and capacity tables for all the above reservoirs. Month-end contents are computed by the Geological Survey. The usable capacity of these reservoirs is usually less in summer than in winter, because the allowable summer drawdown is limited by the Department of Natural Resources in the interest of riparian property owners. There are occasionally formal or informal changes in capacity and in minimum drawdown levels. Usable capacity figures listed below are for winter regulation.

LOCATION.~Lat 44°22'05", long 89°51'30" r in SW 1/4 sec.24, T.22 N., R.5 E., Wood County, at Centralia power- plant of Nekoosa-Edwards Paper, Inc., 1.6 miles downstream from Chicago and Northwestern Railway bridge in Wisconsin Rapidc.
DRAINAGE AREA.—5,400 sq mi, approximately.
PERIOD OF RECORD.—May 1914 to March 1950 (published as "near Nekoosa"), October 1957 to current year.
GAGE.—Water-stage recorders on headwater and tailwater. Elevation of powerplant pond is 980 ft and datum of powerplant gages is 887.83 ft above mean sea level (levels by Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co.). May 1914 to March 1950, at site 7.0 miles downstream at different datum.
AVERAGE DISCHARGE.—49 years (1914-50, 1957-71), 4,887 cfs.
EXTREMES.—Current year: Maximum discharge, 46,700 cfs Apr. 14; minimum daily, 1,520 cfs Sept. 6.Period of record: Maximum discharge, 70,400 cfs Sept. 12, 1938 (gage height, 19.10 ft), from rating
curve extended above 58,000 cfs; minimum, 26 cfs Sept. 7, 1942; minimum daily, 165 cfs Aug. 12, 1934.
REMARKS.—Records good. Discharge computed from powerplant records on basis of load-discharge rating of hydro electric units as developed by Geological Survey and tainter-gate ratings and spillway ratings based on theoretical formulas and discharge measurements. Flow regulated by 21 reservoirs (see p. 130) and many powerplants above station. Water diverted periodically from pond of Wisconsin Rapids powerplant 2.6 miles upstream into Cranberry Creek, a tributary of Yellow River, for cranberry culture. Probably most of the water diverted is lost by evaporation and transpiration. These diversions in cubic feet per second, for water year October 1970 to September 1971, were as follows:

130 WISCONSIN RIVER BASIN
Reservoirs in Wisconsin River Basin
The 24 reservoirs listed below are used to stabilize the flow of the Wisconsin and Tomahawk Rivers for power utilization and are also used for recreational purposes. The first 21 reservoirs are owned and operated by the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co., which furnished the gage heights and capacity tables. Revised capac ity tables for all 21 reservoirs were received from the company in April 1957 and were used to compute month- end usable contents beginning Sept. 30, 1955. Another revised capacity table for Burnt Rollways Reservoir was used to compute month-end usable contents beginning Sept. 30, 1964. Lake Dubay is owned by the Consolidated Water Power Co. Petenwell and Castle Rock are owned and operated by the Wisconsin River Power Co., which fur nished the gage heights and capacity tables for these two reservoirs. Month-end contents are computed by the U.S. Geological Survey. The usable capacity of these reservoirs is usually less in summer than in winter be cause the allowable summer drawdown is limited by the Department of Natural Resources in the interest of ripar ian property owners. There are occasionally formal or informal changes in capacity and in minimum drawdown levels. Usable capacity figures listed below are for winter regulation.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 153
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 Geological 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 reason are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.
Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table of dis charge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations and the second is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flow and high flow are given in a third table.
Low-flow partial-record stations
Measurements of streamflow in the area covered by this report made at low-flow partial-record stations are given in the following table. Most of these measurements were made during periods of base flow when strearaflow is primarily from ground-water storage. These measurements, when correlated with the simultaneous discharge of a nearby stream where continuous records are available, will give a picture of the low-flow potentiality of the stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements were made at the same, or practically the same, site. Measurements have been made at numerous other stations throughout the State since 1961. These measurements are published in preceding Water Resources Data for Wisconsin publications.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 157
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 inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge rela tion 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 the 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 record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.
