SURFACE WATER SUPPLY OF CUMBERLAND AND TENNESSEE RIVER BASINS, 1960

This volume is one of a series of CO 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, I960, the Geological Survey and coop

erating organisations were maintaining 7,300 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for

low flow or for floodflow have been operated at many other points. In addition, discharge

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

gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites in the Cumberland and

Tennessee River basins are given in this report.

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. All gaging-

station records for Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia, and some for Tennessee have

been analyzed by electronic computer to give: (1) the number of days in each year that

the daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); and (g) the lowest mean

discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in each year. In addition, the records

for Kentucky and North Carolina give the highest mean discharge for selected numbers of

consecutive days In each year. The records for Horth Carolina have also b?en analyzed to

give the lowest daily discharge not exceeded during selected numbers of consecutive days

in each year. Provisional records of discharge, information on the availability of elec

tronic computer results, and other unpublished data concerning the gaging-station records

may generally 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:

Paging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where sys

tematic 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 continuous record of discharge is obtained.

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBERS 3

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 per 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 be 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 from 1 square mile.

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

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

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stage-

discharge relation at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction cf 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 noneontributing 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 20, 1951, the

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

rection 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 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 sta

tions are on tributaries between any two stations on a main stem and the rank of the trib

utary 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.

4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, I960, PART 3-B

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 nimber for a

partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types

of statiotis. 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 in

cludes the part number, but the station number as shown in this report, just to the left

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

ample, for a station with the complete number SB-4515.OU, the station number shown in this

report is 4515. The notation to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it is 3B for

all stations in this report and is therefore omitted.

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 rela

tion, weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determin

ing the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a

nonrecording gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctu

ations. 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 methods 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 stags-discharge re

lation 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

measurements 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 discharge 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 indi

vidual discharge measurements and notes by engineers and observers are used in applying

the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation fo" a station is

temporarily changed 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 backwater from

reservoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the us? of the slope

method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in determining

discharge. 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.

EXPLANATION OF DATA 5

At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at sone 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-height record and

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

formation on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and engineers, and

comparable records of discharge for other stations in the same or nearby basin3. 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 1960 water year 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 th= 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

Tennessee Valley Authority or the Corps of Engineers. Under "Records available" are given

the periods for which there are published records generally equivalent to thos? at the

present site. Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently in use and th= 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 reference

to "datum of 1929" and adjustments of other years are to the datum of the TJ. S. Coast and

Geodetic 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 of 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 min

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

ful); and the minimum gage height (unless it is of no importance). In the first paragraph,

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 (not 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 discharge, it is

given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions

which affect the natural flow at the 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

concerned in the revision, that fact is brought out by notations after the year dates as

follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous maximum discnarge 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 re

sulting 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 recorders, 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 obtained by averaging

the discharge for parts of the day or by using the discharge integrator, an 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

discharge 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 bas-?d on gage

readings. 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 dally 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 les-s 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.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS 7

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 given in paren

theses, 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.

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 records. 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 seme 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 is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly date are given.

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

of making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment leads, and

particle-size distribution, or measuring water temperatures. For most of these samples

the results are published in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled "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 mfny other

gaging stations quality-of-water data are obtained at irregular intervals and 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 ob

tained 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. The 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 seepage 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 discharge 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" indi

cates that, in general, the error in the daily records is believed to be less than 5 per

cent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," probably


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 reser

voirs, 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 by the following

list and the map in figure 1.

A compilation of records for the area covered by this report through September 1950 has

been published as Water-Supply Paper 1306. That report contains a summary of monthly and

annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records not contained

in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where

warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever practical.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge

collected during the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on

the stage and discharge of many streams during major floods has been included in special

reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. The more recent of these

special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses and

SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1960, PART 3-B

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Streamflow was above median during most of the year and was excessive in part of the

area during nearly every month. In October the mean discharge of French Broad River at

Asheville, H. C., was the highest for the month since 1936. Frequent local flooding oc

curred during the year but was generally limited to bankfull stages.

Figure 2, on page 13, for which records of three long-term representative gaging sta

tions were used, shows a comparison of the monthly and yearly mean discharge for the 1960

water year with the median discharge for the period 1931-60.

Maximum stage known, 20.7 ft (revised) July 1916 from flood profile by Tennessee Valley Authority. Flood of Aug. 16, 1928, reached a stage of 18.74 ft, from floodmarks (discharge, 17,800 cfs). Extremely high stages subject to backwater from French Broad River.

Remarks . --Records excellent except those for periods of ice effect, which are good. No regulation from Lake Craig 3.6 miles above station after 1950 (reservoir silted). City of Asheville diverts its water supply above station from Beetree Reservoir (capac ity, 843 cfs-days), North Fork Swannanoa River, and from Burnett Lake on North Pork (see p. 210).

Records available. November 1871 to September 1894 September 1960.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 401.12 ft above mean sea level, datum of 1929. Prior to Apr. 1, 1926, several TJ. 3. Weather Bureau staff gages at cr near Southern Railway bridge 137 ft downstream at same datum. Apr. 1, 1926, to Mar. 11, 1958, water-stage recorder on left bank at lower end of old lock and dam 1, 400 ft up stream at same datum. Since Oct. 1, 1938, auxiliary water-stage recorder l&J- miles downstream.

Average discharge.--66 years (1894-1960), 50,620 cfs.

Extremes.--Maximum discharge during year, 153,000 cfs Mar. 3; maximum gage height, 17.28 ft Nov. 19; minimum daily discharge, 14,600 cfs July 24; minimum gage height, 7.81 ft Feb. 4.

1871-1960: Maximum discharge observed, 444,000 cfs Mar. 19, 1897 (gage height, 32.5 ft), from rating curve extended above 390,000 cfs; minimum daily, 250 cfs Sept. 13, 1953 (computed on basis of Wilson Dam records); minimum gage height, -3.0 ft Oct. 8, 1925, caused by filling of Wilson Lake.

Flood in 1367 reached a stage of 31.1 ft, from U. S. Weather Bureau (discharge, 421,000 cfs).

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record at auxiliary gage and those below 25,000 cfs, which are fair. Discharge below 25,000 cfs computed on basis of records for Wilson Dam. Slight regulation since 1924 by Wilson Lake and in creasing regulation since 1936 as other reservoirs have been built above station (see p. 210). Flow now almost completely regulated.

Remarks.--Records good. Backwater from Ohio River and dam 52; discharge computed using fall as determined by auxiliary water-stage recorder as a factor. Discharge for days of extremely low fall (less than 0.40 ft) computed on basis of records for Kentucky Dam. Slight regulation since 1924 by Wilson Lake and increasing regulation since 1936 as other reservoirs have been built above station (see p. 210). Flow now almost com pletely regulated. Records of chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water year 1960 are given in WSP 1721.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 215

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 Geo logical Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gating 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 floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. In addition, dis charge measurements are made at other sites not included in the partial-re cord 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 soecial reason are called measurements at miscellaneous sites.

Records collected at partial-record stations are presented in two tables. The 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 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 streamflow 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 stream. The column headed "Period of record" shows the water years in which measurements were made at the same, or practically the same, site.

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 betwien 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 th? 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.

SPRINGS IN TENNESSEE 229

In 1931, a minor drought year, a study was made of large springs In east Ternessee and the results published In WSP 713. Prom 1950 to 1954, a more detailed study, Ircludlng some of those springs, was carried on In cooperation with the Ground Water Brarch In con nection with an Investigation of the ground-water resources of the region. This study was made on a roving basis, the discharge of one group of springs being measured monthly for one year and then measurements made on another group for a year. During a rourd of meas urements In June 1954, measurements were made at many springs where regular morthly meas urements had previously been discontinued. The results of measurements made were published annually In WSP 1173, 1206, 1236, 1276, and 1336. As some of the springs were measured during the drought year 1931, comparisons might be made to determine probable irinimum flow of springs which were not measured in 1931. Many of these springs are used for municipal or Industrial water supplies. Others do not have well sustained flow during the dry season. Results of the discharge measurements show the characteristics of the springs and give good Indication of the variation of the flow.

During the water years 1955-60 measurements were made at several springs, mcst of which were measured during the 1950-54 study. The results of discharge measurements during the 1960 water year (and a few made during the 1959 water year), showing the yield and the water temperature, are given in the following table:
