SCOPE OP WORK
This volume is one of a series of 20 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1959 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 15,200 gaging stations in the 50 States. On September 30, 1959, the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 7,110 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for low flow or for Mood flow have been operated at many other points. In addition, discharge measure ments are made at miscellaneous sites. The records for the 1959 water year at gaging sta tions, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites in the Ohio River basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River basins are given in this report.

DEFINITION OP TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 3
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 on page 2. All gaging- statlon records for Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia, and some for Illinois and Pennsylvania, have been analyzed by electronic computer to give: (1) the number of days In each year that the dally discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); and (2) the lowest mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days In each year. In addition, the records for Illinois and Kentucky give the highest mean discharge for se lected numbers of consecutive days In each year. Provisional records of discharge, Infor mation on the availability of electronic computer results, and other unpublished data con cerning the gaging-station records may generally be obtained from the district office.
DEFINITION OP TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
The terms of streamflow and other hydrologlc data, as used In this report, are defined as follows: Gaging station Is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where system atic observations of gage height or discharge are obtained, When used In connection with a discharge record, the term Is applied herein only to those gaging stations where a con tinuous record of discharge Is obtained. Partial-record station Is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected systematically over a period of years for use In hydrologlc 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 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 amount 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 of the channel, a long reach of the channel, or an artificial structure. Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume is computed on the basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage. The drainage area of a stream at a specified location is that area, measured in a hori zontal plane, which is so enclosed by a topographic divide that direct surface runoff from precipitation normally would drain by gravity into the river above the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein include all closed basins, or noncontributing areas, within the area unless otherwise noted. WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" in references to previously published reports. 4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 3-A
DOWNSTREAM ORDER AMD STATION NUMBERS
Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the order of listing gaging-station records was changed. In this report, in a 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. As an added means of identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has been assigned a station number. The numbers have been assigned in the same downstream order used in this report. In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between partial-record stations and regular gaging stations, so that the station number for a partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of both types of stations. Gaps are left in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be estab lished; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete number for each station 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 example, for a station with the complete number 3A-0315.00, the station number shown in this report is 315. The notation to the left of the hyphen is the part number; it is 3A 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 relation, weather records, and other information are used to supplement base data in determining the daily flow. The records of stage are obtained either from direct readings on a nonrecord- ing gage or from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous record of fluctuations. Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience in stream gaging since 1888. These meth ods are described in Water-Supply Paper 888 and are also outlined in standard textbooks on the measurement of stream discharge. Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge 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 EXPLANATION OF DATA 5
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 for 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 res ervoirs, tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method in which the slope or fall in a reach of the stream is a factor in determining dis charge. Information requisite for determining the slope or fall is obtained by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At some stations the stage- discharge relation is affected by changing stage. If so, the rate of change in stage is used as a factor in the determination of discharge. At most gaging stations in the northern part of the United States and at some in the mountainous regions of other parts the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice during the winter, and it becomes impossible to compute the discharge in the usual manner. Dis charge for periods of ice effect is computed on the basis of the gage-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 basins. If the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice, this information is given in a note to the table. No mention is made of occasional days of ice effect if the degree of accuracy of daily records is not changed. The data herein presented generally comprise a description of the station, a skeleton rating table, and a table showing the daily discharge and monthly and yearly discharge of the stream. Records are published for the water year which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. A calendar for the 1959 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 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 unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given the peri ods for which there are published records generally equivalent to those at present site. Under "Gage" are given the type of gage currently in use and the datum of the present gage above mean sea level, and a condensed history of the types, locations, and daturas of pre vious gages used during the period of records available. TJnder "Average discharge" is given the average discharge for the number of years indicated. It is not given for sta tions 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 discharge and gage height; the minimum discharge if there is little or no regulation; the minimum daily discharge if there is extensive regu lation (also the minimum discharge if useful); 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
575949 O - 61 - 2 6 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 3-A 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 corre sponds to the crest stage obtained by use of a water-stage recorder, a crest-stage indica tor, OP 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 discharge was revised; "(m)" that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised figure was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are published, a revision of the drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches, re sulting from a revision of the drainage area only, are usually not published in the annual series of reports. Skeleton rating tables are 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 equivalent adjust ment 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 dis charge corresponding to once-daily readings of the gage, or to the mean of twice-daily readings, or to the mean gage height determined from gage-height graphs based on gage 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. EXPLANATION OF DATA 7
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 dally 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 head "Ac-ft"). Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in Inches are omitted if the drainage area includes large noncontributing areas, or if the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin Is usually less than 20 inches. In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum daily discharges, not the momentary discharges when the water was at crest stage. Like wise, the mlnimums In this summary are the minimum daily discharges. Peak discharges and the times of their occurrence and corresponding gage heights of most stations are listed below the table of dally and monthly discharge. All independent peaks above the selected base are given. The base discharge, which is given in parenthe ses, is selected so that an average of about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak discharges are not published for canals, ditches, drains, or for any stream for which the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. Footnotes to the table of dally 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 some reservoirs 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 data are given. At many gaging stations water samples are collected from the streams for the purpose of making chemical analyses, computing dissolved solids, suspended sediment loads, 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 quallty-of-water reports. At many 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 obtained also at the time a discharge measurement Is made; such temperature readings are not reported in the quality-of-water annual reports. Data collected at partial-record stations and at miscellaneous sites are given at the end of each report. Partial-record stations are presented In two tables. The first is a 8 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1959, PART 3-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" In dicates that, In general, the error In the dally records Is believed to be less than 5 percent; "good," less than 10 percent; "fair," less than 15 percent; and "poor," proba bly more than 15 percent. The records of monthly and yearly mean discharge and runoff are, In general, more nearly accurate than the dally records. Discharge at some stations, as Indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from natural runoff, owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, Increase or de crease In evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and of runoff In Inches are not published unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for changes In contents of reservoirs, or for other changes Incident to use and control. Evaporation from a reser voir 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. Part 1.

A compilation of records for the area covered by this report through September 1950 has been published as Water-Supply Paper 1305. That report contains a summary of monthly and annual discharges for all previously published records as well as some records not con tained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and re vised 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 re ports on these floods published by the Geological Survey or other agencies. The more re cent of these special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses and compilations of data relating to earlier notable floods.

RECORDS OP DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture has been collecting records of runoff from selected areas in the Ohio River basin as follows: near Blacksburg, Va., beginning in 1939, 1 area of less than 20 acres; beginning in 1951, 2 areas of less than 10 acres each, and beginning in 1952, 1 area of less than 10 acres; near Christiansburg, Va., beginning in 1957, 1 area of 750 acres; near Terrys Pork, Va., beginning in 1957, 1 area of 950 acres; near Pulaski, Va. , beginning in 1957, 1 area of 2,850 acres; near Coshocton, Ohio, beginning in 1937, 4 areas of 500 to 5,000 acres each, 5 areas of 100 to 500 acres each, 2 areas of 50 to 100 acres each, 2 areas of 20 to 50 acres each, and 20 areas of less than 10 acres each.
HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
Outstanding floods occurred in Indiana, Ohio, and western Pennsylvania during January, and in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio during February. The floods were caused by heavy rainfall on frozen ground; as much as 6 inches of rain fell January 20-21. An unusually high percentage of rainfall reached the stream channels as direct runoff. Ice jams in some streams resulted in extremely high stages; levee breaks aggravated the flooding in many places. The floods were generally the greatest since the record flood of 1913; in some places they exceeded the 1913 flood. South of Ohio River streamflow was generally deficient. During March the monthly mean discharge of Levisa Fork at Paintsville, Ky. , was record-low for the month. Peak discharges of Big Reed Island Creek near Allisonia, Va., and Little River near Graysonton, Va., for the flood of September 30, exceeded the previous maximums of record. Yearly mean discharge of Ohio River was 83 percent of the median. 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 discharges during the 1959 water year with the median discharge for the period 1921-45.

MUSKINGUM RIVER BASIN 177 Reservoirs in Muskingum River basin During the years 1935 to 1938, the Corps of Engineers constructed 14 dams on the Muskingum River and tributaries for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The reservoirs created by these dams are used mainly for flood control, but all 11 of them a conservation pool is maintained for emergency water supply for domestic and industrial uses, to maintain sanitary stream conditions during periods of extreme low flow, and for recreational and wildlife conservation purposes. There are no gates on spillways of the dams, except at Senecaville. All regulation is done by gates in tunnels through the dams, except at Beach City and Charles Mill, where there are also bypass gates in the conservation weir. At Senecaville, regulation at higher stages can be assisted by operation of ll^-foot taintor gates on spillway. The total capacity of these reservoirs at spillway level is 1,539,000 acre-ft, of which 211,400 acre-ft is retained in the conservation pools. The Corps of Engineers assumed operation of the reservoirs on Aug. 13, 1939, and fur nished gage-height records and capacity curves used to compute data contained herein. 1195. Bolivar Reservoir.

Drainage area. 1,624 sq mi. Records available. October 1920 to September 1959. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305. Gage. Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 680.40 ft above mean sea level, adjustment of 1912. Prior to Oct. 1, 1924, staff gage at site 200 ft upstream at same datum. Average discharge. 39 years, 1,353 cfs. Extremes. Maximum discharge during year, 68,200 cfs Jan. 22 (gage height, 27.22 ft, from high-water mark in well), from rating curve extended above 46,000 cfs by logarithmic plotting; minimum, 94 cfs Sept. 28 (gage height, 5.97 ft). 1920-59: Maximum discharge, that of Jan. 22, 1959; minimum, 42 cfs Sept. 6, 1930. Flood of Mar. 25,1913, reached a stage of 25.9 ft (discharge, 138,000 cfs, estimated by Franklin County Conservancy District). This stage is not comparable with present gage heights because of subsequent channel improvement and levee construction. Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated by Griggs Reservoir, by 0'Shaughnessy Reservoir since 1924, and by Delaware Reservoir since 1951 (see p. 285). Records include sewage return flow for city of Columbus. Water supply for the city of Columbus is obtained from Scioto River below Griggs Dam, Big Walnut Creek below Central College and from wells in the Alum Creek basin. For statement on diversion from Alum Creek basin into municipal supply system of the city of Columbus see Remarks for Alum Creek at Columbus (p. 276). Diversion from Big Walnut Creek began June 1956 and records of diversion furnished by city of Columbus show monthly average of 38.0 cfs for the water year, see Remarks for Big Walnut Creek at Rees (p. 277).

Datum of gage is 687.99 ft above mean sea level (levels by Soil Conser vation Service). Extremes. Maximum outflow during year, 110 cfs Jan. 21 (gage height, 18.59 ft); no flow for many days. Maximum inflow, 341 cfs (average for 15-minute interval), Jan. 21, com puted from outflow and change in reservoir contents, adjusted for rainfall on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow. 1954-59: Maximum outflow, 117 cfs Apr. 4, 1957 (gage height, 20.80 ft), from rating curve extended above 110 cfs on basis of computed flow through outlet works; no flow many days each year. Maximum Inflow, 620 cfs (average for 15-minute interval) Apr. 4, 1957, computed from outflow and change in reservoir contents, adjusted for rainfall on reservoir surface during time of peak inflow. Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Records of daily discharge are outflow from reservoir, determined from stage-discharge relation for outlet structure. Reservoir is formed by earth dam; dam completed and storage began in October 1954. Outlet structure is a 4 x 4 x 14-foot concrete drop inlet connected to a 36-inch concrete outlet pipe. A 120° V-notch weir with notch at gage height 15.18 ft is set on upstream side of drop inlet. Top of drop inlet is at gage height 15.96 ft, emergency spillway at gage height 27.0 ft. Reservoir capacity at top of drop inlet, 90.0acre-ft. Capacity at emergency spillway level, 365 acre-ft. Rec ords of sediment loads for the 1959 water year are given in WSP 1641.

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 measure ments are made at other sites not included in the partial-record program. These measure ments 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 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 con tinuous 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.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES 531 Crest-stage partial-record stations The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspec tions of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only 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.

In general, the records are based on once-daily readings of a staff gage by a local observer and consist of daily, monthly, and yearly mean water-surface elevations as well as graphs showing the fluctua tion in elevation. Discharge measurements made at the outflow are also available in some instances. Basic data for a few selected lakes have been published in WSP 1363, entitled "Hydrology of Indiana Lakes." Records which have not been published are available in the files of the district office of the Geological Survey in Indianapolis, Ind. The lakes for which records have been collected are listed in the following table. The established level, sometimes referred to as the legal level, is that elevation set by the courts to which the average level of the lake is to be held; it is normally set at about the average level that has prevailed for a number of years prior to the establishment of the level.
