DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS SITES
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 U.S. 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 crest-stage partial-record stations are presented in a table of annual maximum discharge and stage.
Discharge measurements made at miscellaneous sites for both low flows and high flows are given in a second table.
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 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.
