FLOOD PEAK RUNOFF AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION IN SELECTED DRAINAGE BASINS IN THE UNITED STATES

By Tate Dalrymple

Introduction

The Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law 566, 83d Congress, 2d sess., passed Aug. 4, 1954) author­ ized the Secretary of Agriculture to assist local organizations in planning and carrying out watershed projects in areas of not more than 250, 000 acres (391 sq mi) and to obtain the cooperation and assistance of other Federal agencies for this purpose. Under this authority, the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, entered into an agreement with the Geological Sur­ vey, U.S. Department of the Interior, for the furnishing of cer­ tain hydro logic information.

The information desired was a compilation of runoff and pre­ cipitation data from gaged drainage basins of 400 square miles or less. Records were to represent natural flow and were to be 5 or more years in length. A listing of gaging stations revealed that of a total of 3,129 suitable stations, only 797 were near pre­ cipitation stations. This report presents data from these 797 gaging stations; the general location of these gages is shown on a map of the United States, plate 1.

Computation of data was done in Survey field offices at Ashe- ville, N. C., Atlanta, Ga., Charlottesville, Va., Chattanooga, Tenn., College Park, Md. , and Denver, Colo.; general super­ vision was by the Floods Section, Surface Water Branch, Wash­ ington, D. C. Coordination with the Soil Conservation Service was maintained through Harold O. Ogrosky, chief, Hydrology Branch, Engineering Division.

Gaging-station data

Data are presented, for each station, in tabular form. The table heading shows: 1. Name and location of station, as "Alafia River at Lithia, Fla. "

2. A station number, as "9-5045." These are permanently as­ signed, and are shown in the series of reports entitled "Sur­ face Water Supply of the United States. " The "9" identifies the station as being in the report for the Colorado River basin; figure 1, a map of the conterminous United States, shows areas covered by each of the 18 volumes in which streamflow records are published. The "5045" locates the station in the basin; numbers are assigned in a downstream direction along the main stem, and all stations on a tributary entering above a main-stem station are listed before that station.

3. Latitude and longitude of gage.4. Drainage area, in square miles.5. Mean annual precipitation, in inches.

The table contains 10 columns, and shows data relative to an­ nual peak discharges, as follows:1. The water year, October 1 through September 30, is identified

by the calendar year in which it ends.2. Date of maximum momentary flood peak for water year.3. Peak discharge, in cubic feet per second.4. Antecedent base discharge, in cubic feet per second. This is

the daily mean discharge on the day preceding the flood rise, and was easily identified from a hydrograph such as is pre­ sented as figure 2. A similar graph was prepared for each year of record. Daily mean discharges were plotted at noon, and the instantaneous peak was indicated by a dot at the ap­ propriate hour. Daily precipitation was plotted along the lower edge of sheet.

5. Direct runoff, in inches, was considered to be the surface run­ off and was computed by separating the base flow from the total flow. This separation was done graphically by extending the trend line of flow prior to flood to the time of the instan­ taneous peak and then drawing the trend line upward to a point on the recession limb of the hydrograph. (See dashed line on fig. 2). This point of intersection should be the point where direct flow ceases and all flow becomes base flow, a period designated as N days after the crest or after the end of an appreciable amount of runoff-producing rain. The selection of N is not particularly critical, and values usually selected were 1 day for areas of 0 to 30 square miles, and 2 days for areas of 31 to 260 square miles, and 3 days for areas of 261 to 400 square miles. Conditions causing prolonged direct runoff were taken into consideration by applying a general rule that the base flow should not exceed 5 cubic feet per second (cfs) per square mile at any time. Personal judgment was required in analyzing multiple and complex peaks, par­ ticularly those caused by storms so close together that direct runoff did not end between the storms.

separation of hydrograph components, see Linsley, Kohler, and Paulhus, p. 397-404. )* The direct runoff is the sum of the daily discharges minus the base flow, as read on noon line for each day of estimated base flow graph. Runoff, in inches=(total cfs-days x 0. 0372) / (drainage area in square miles).

6. Associated precipitation is the total over the basin, and is shown on the graph (fig. 2); datawere taken from'publications of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Basin precipitation was com­ puted by preparing a sketch map of the drainage basin above the gage. Precipitation stations in and within 10 miles of the basin were spotted on the map. Appropriate weights were assigned to each precipitation record by an approximate ap­ plication of the Thiessen method of weighting. Personal judgment based on location of the gages was used when their distribution was not uniform over the area. In some records of uneven coverage, weight was assigned to each gage in in­ verse proportion to its distance from the center of the basin.

7. Storm duration is the number of days of associated precipi­ tation, and also may be read from the graph.

8,9. Antecedent 5-and 30-day precipitation was tabulated from U. S. Weather Bureau records, using the same weighting fac­ tors as in 6 above.

10. Annual runoff was taken from published records of the Geo­ logical Survey.

Normally, a peak from snow melt cannot be analyzed properly owing to lack of information. The data presented in this report do not represent a true relationship between the annual peak and the precipitation that fell during the time of this peak. Results shown, however, will be valuable in defining general relation­ ships during the winter months.

Runoff probably Increased by snowmelt. Note.--City of Putnam diverts an average of less than 1 million gallons per

day from Little River for municipal supply. Large diurnal fluctuation, partic­ ularly during low flow, is caused by many dams and reservoirs above station, largest of which is Lake Chaubunagungamaug with an estimated usable capacity of 207,000,000 cu ft.

a Daily discharge not available.Note.--During the period of record, water was diverted into the system from

several sources. During the earlier portion of the time, two ice plants were operating and wasting water into the storm sewers. This water eventually reached the lake. During the whole period the flow from an artesian well was diverted into the basin for 25 hours each day. The well flows at the rate of 50 gpm. During the summer months, the waste water from the municipal swimming pool located in City Park, flowed Into the lake. The supply for the pool was pumped from a deep well.

Records of analysis of storm runoff, evaporation, and inflow for the period September 1955 to December 1959 are published In Louisiana State University Bulletin, Vol. 52, N.S., No. 7, July 1940, "A Summary of Hydrologic Data Bayou Duplantier Watershed".
