Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Stream Measurement The object of the work herein described is to obtain data bearing upon the water resources of the United States. In undertaking with limited funds an investigation of this character, it is obvious that a plan must be adopted which will yield useful results with moderate outlay. The United States is so vast and offers such diversity of topographic and climatic conditions that measurements of rivers in one section give data of little value concerning those of another sec tion. It is therefore necessary to consider carefully the distribution Of field work so as to Obtain typical results, and at the same time not to diffuse it so widely as to destroy its effectiveness. The chief object has been to lay out the operations so that there would be obtained results of practical value and of a reasonable degree of accuracy, broadly representative Of conditions prevailing throughout the United States, without expending money for the attainment of an unneces sary degree of precision. There is of course room for wide differ ence of opinion regarding the best way to attain this object. In the practice of the Survey localities have been selected where the results will have a local application to problems of development and at the same time will yield data which can be applied to adjacent areas under similar topographic conditions. The Operations of the branch of the Geological Survey which has to do with hydrography can be divided into three distinct classes: (1) The measurement of surface streams; (2) the survey of sites for and the estimation of capacity and cost of reservoirs; and (3) the study of the quantity and movement of underground waters. The greater part of the funds available, however, is devoted to the measurement of surface streams, for those are of first importance, regarding both the quantity of water obtainable and its industrial application. The work of ascertaining the flow of a stream, as developed by the experience of the Division of Hydrography, extending through about thirteen years, consists of (1) observing and recording the daily height of the water, (2) measuring the quantity of flow at different heights, and (3) computing the probable flow at each height or stage of the stream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Measuring Water NO such idea appears to have formed part Of the stock in trade of the ablest engineers in ancient times, or at the beginning of the Christian era, nor probably for some years later. Thus Frontinus, perhaps the earliest writer on practical hydraulics that we have, has barely a conception Of the fact that some streams of water flow faster than others, but his measurement of any and Of all streams is based solely upon the areas of their cross sections. You can readily see how imperfect is such a conception of the volume Of a flowing stream; though we must admit that to this day many a man yet struggles with the similar crudities of the amount Of water that will fill a 6-inch pipe, or Of so many square feet of water let upon a water wheel and the like; when, as has been said, he might as well attempt to define the volume of a cylinder, or Of a parallelopipedon by giving only the area of its base.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigations of Methods and Equipment Used in Stream Gaging, Vol. 2: Intakes for Gage Wells Various devices attached to the ends of intake pipes to gage wells have been used by engineers of the Geological Survey in attempts to eliminate the draw down, or difference in the heights of water in the well and in the river at stations for the measurement of stream flow. About 90 different devices and arrange ments of intakes were tested at the National Hydraulic Laboratory in order-to obtain definite information regarding the performance of the various devices and their effectiveness in eliminating draw-down.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Progress of Stream Measurements for the Calendars Year 1904, Vol. 2: The Great Basin and Pacific Ocean Drainage in California The chief feature of the work of the hydrographic division is the systematic study of the flow of the surface waters and the conditions affecting the same. In this connection other information that may be of use to the engineer or others in hydrographic studies, such as river profiles, duration and extent of damage by floods, water-power data, etc., is collected. Furthermore, the work has been so directed that the information collected will be of direct value in the commercial and agricultural development of the country. As a result of the increased appropriations since June 30, 1902, the work has been largely extended and thoroughly systemized. The various States have been grouped into districts, each of which is under the supervision of a district hydrographer who, with a corps of assist ants, devotes his whole time to the study of the hydrographic resources of his district. The methods used in the collection of these data and in their prepa ration for publication are given in detail in water-supply Paper No. 94. (hydrographic Manual, U. S. Geol. Survey.)

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Combination Suspended-Load Sampler and Velocity Meter for Small Streams In order to obtain the most accurate determinations of the suspended load and the average composition of the material, a stream should be sampled at a great many vertical and horizontal points in a cross section, the samples at each point to be taken during an interval long enough to eliminate the instantaneous. Variations often reflected in clouds or boiling observable in heavily sediment-laden streams. For precise work, velocity measurements should also be made at the sampling points at frequent intervals to permit the rate of suspended load discharge to be calculated. It is possible, however, where lower degrees of accuracy will serve the immediate practical purpose, to simplify the procedure to the collection of only a few, or even one sample, with similar reductions in the number of velocity measure ments, or their omission at previously rated stations equipped with staff gage or stage recorders.
