Excerpt from Report on the Measurement of the Volume of Streams and the Flow of Water: In the State of New York
It is intended to establish these meter stations upon all the streams where it is practicable and to gradually discontinue the observations at dams where the conditions are unsatisfactory.
In collecting for publication the records obtained during 1900, there have also been collected certain heretofore unpublished former records of these streams and the results are here given in tables showing the daily mean flow, and also hydrographs which give the same information graphically, and which show at a glance the periods of high-water and of low-water and the regular or erratic character of thetlow of the various streams, which differ widely with the varied nature of their watersheds. The hydro graph of the Oswego river, for instance, is exceptionally uniform, showing the effect of natural regulation of its flow by the many central New York lakes which it drains. The hydrographs of several of the creeks which flow into the Mohawk show sudden and extreme variations, resulting from the quick run-off which is characteristic of their watersheds.
The tables give the daily means of flow in more detailed form, and such photographs are given as are necessary to show the varied conditions existing at the several stations.
The value of these records is such as to show that the system should be extended and made to include many other important streams in different parts of the State, and the appropriation of a proper sum is recommended for this purpose.
Herewith is given detailed report of the hydrographer in charge of the observations, with the figures and tables which show the results, all of which is presented to the Legislature.
