198. Return showing: — 1. Whether the Government have taken cognizance of the following

Comes from Sale of Gift Flour. Foodstuffs not Needed by the English Poor were Bought
for Belgian Relief. — Funds to Aid East Coast. — Hon. Walter Long Suggested to Cana-
dian Government that $750,000 be Allotted, and Latter Agreed. — (Special cable from
the "Gazette's" resident staff correspondent.)

"London, October 31, — ' Canada's aid to the east coast towns of England, which
are suffering through the war, is the subject of some misconception," said Sir George
Perley to-day. In a statement in the Commons, Hon. Walter Long said that the neces-
sary funds for a Government scheme of help for hotel and lodging house keepers had
been generously provided by the Canadian Government. This gave rise to the idea that
the Dominion was taking a new step, but the fact is that no money is coming from
Canada. Of the flour sen^ by Canada a year ago to relieve distress in England, very
little was distributed, as poverty was in no way abnormal. Some 400,000 bags of this
flour were transferred to the American committee for Belgian relief, which purchased
them. The money paid for this flour being in the hands of the Local Government Board,
Hon. Walter Long, as President of the Board*, suggested to Sir George Perley that this
might be utilized for the relief of the east coast towns where the season had been
ruined owing to the lack of railway facilities and the disinclination of the public to visit
the east coast because of the possibility of German nayal or aerial raids. Tlie Dominion
Government acquiesced in this proposal, and the sum of $750,000, part of the proceeds
of the sale of the flour, has now been allotted for this purpose. Canada's generosity
will ther6ft>re go to alleviate the distress of a large number of better-class people, who
are direct sufferers from the war, instead of the destitute poor, for whom it was intended,
but who, it develops, were not in need of it." 2. Whether the said article is accurate.
If not, in what respect it is inaccurate. Presented March 20, 1916. — Mr. Papineau.

Not printed.

198a. Return showing: — 1. Whether the Government Is aware that the following extract from
an article was published on the 12th January, 1915, in the IMoiitreal "Gazette" : —

"Distress Caused in England by War is Negligible. — Comparatively Small Portion
of Colonial Gifts Lsed for National Relief. — Much Went to Belgians. — War Office also
took Large Share. — Salvation Army has Scheme Requiring Canadian Co-operation. —
(Special cable from the "Gazette's" resident staff correspondent.)

"London, January 11. — Very satisfactory evidence of the comparative absence in
England of any distress caused by the war is furnished by a report on the special work
of the Local Government Board arising out of the war, which was issued to-day as a
White Paper. The action by Noel Kershaw, dealing with the disposition of the gifts
from the Colonies, shows that only a small part of the goods allocated has been
required for relieving the distress of civilians.

"The following Is the disposition of the 940,530 bags of flour received from Canada:
To the local committees for the relief of distress, 90,474 ; to the Belgian Refugees Com-
mittcea, 1,691; transferred to the War Office. 99.760; further offer to the War Office,
300.000; to the Belgian Relief Commis.sion, 443,886; sold, owing to damage, 4,719.''
2. Who had charge of accepting delivery and the shipping of this flour. 3. Wh'etlier
the Government have any information of the shortage of 59,430 bags of flour, alleged in
said article. If not, what became of the flour that was .short. I'resented March ''0

REPORT

PROGRESS OF STREAM MEASUREMENTS FOR THE CALENDAR

YEAR 1915.

By P. M. SAUDER, G. H. WHYTE and X. M. SUTHERLAND.

INTRODUCTION.

SCOPE OF WORK.

The chief features of the stream measurement work are the collection of data relating to
the flow of surface waters and a study of the conditions affecting this flow. Information is
also collected concerning river profiles, the duration and magnitude of floods, irrigation and
water-power development, storage, seepage, etc., which may be of use in hydrometric studies.

This information is obtained by a series of observations at regular gauging stations which
are established at suitable points. The selection of sites for these gauging stations and their
maintenance depend largely upon the physical features and needs of the locality. If water is
to be used for irrigation purposes the summer flow receives special attention; where it is required
for power purposes, it becomes necessary to determine the minimum flow; if water is to be stored,
information is obtained regarding the maximum flow. In all cases the duration of the difTerent
stages of the streams is recorded. Throughout the country gauging stations are maintained for
general statistical purposes, to show the conditions existing through long periods. They are
also used as primary stations, and their records in connection with short series of measurements
will serve as bases for estimating the flow at other points in the drainage basin.

During the open water season of 1915, records were taken at one hundred and eighty-four
(184) regular gauging stations on various streams in Alberta and Saskatchewan and at one
hundred and fifteen (115) regular gauging stations on irrigation ditches and canals. Winter
records, which are so valuable for power investigations and municipal water supplies, received
special attention, and records were secured on almost all the important streams in the two
provinces throughout the year.

ORGANIZATION.

The methods of carrying on the investigations were similar to those of previous years.
Local residents were engaged to observe the gauge heights at regular stations. These obser-
vations were recorded in a book supplied by the department, and at the end of each week the
observer copied tlie week's records on a postal card which he forwarded to the Calgary orticc by
the first convenient mail.

District hydrometric engineers made regular visits to the gauging Stations, usually once in
every three weeks. On these visits they examined the observer's records, made ilisoharne
measurements and coUecited such information and ilata as would be of use in making estimates
of tlie daily (low at tlie station. The results of the discharge mesusurements and all ilata collected
were forwjtrdctl as soon as po.s.sil)lc after being completed to the Calgary ollice, where all rept)rts

During the winter no records were taken at a number of the gauging stations, wliich made it

height and discharge, and monthly discharge were also compiled. These records have been
collected and are embodied in this, the Seventh Annual Report of Progress of Stream Measure-
ments.

The organization during 1915 was also similar to the previous year, and the staff consisted
of the chief hydrometric engineer, two assistant engineers, one recorder, one computer, and one
clerk in the office, and fifteen assistant engineers in the field.

During 1915, the territory was divided for administrative purposes into thirteen districts,
viz., Banff, Calgary, Macleod, Cardston, Milk River, Western Cj-press Hills, Eastern Cji^ress
Hills, Wood Mountain, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Nordegg, Jasper and Peace River. In each
district there was one engineer, who while in the field employed temporary assistance and was
equipped with the necessary gauging and surveying instruments. In Banff, Calgary, Macleod,
Saskatoon, Edmonton and Jasper districts, the engineers travelled by train and hired livery,
and stopped at hotels and stopping houses; while in the Cardston, Milk River, Western Cj-press
Hills, Eastern CjiJress Hills and Wood Mountain districts they were supplied with a team.
democrat and camping outfit. The engineer in the Nordegg district was supplied with a pack
train, while the engineer in the Peace River district travelled largely by boat. One engineer was
employed in an investigation of absorption losses in irrigation canals, and other experimental
work." The thirteenth engineer was employed at rating current-meters, gauging the streams
at Calgary and other local work. During the early spring, three of the irrigation inspecting
engineers assisted in collecting records of the early spring run-off in the Cji^ress hills.

At the beginning of 1916, the organization of the staff under the Chief Hydrometric Engineer
was changed, and the whole territory and work was divided into two divisions, numely. Northern
and Southern. An engineer, designated the Divisional Hydrometric Engineer, was placed in
charge of each division, and was given a stafY consisting of one field engineer for each district
in his division, an office engineer, and a recorder. This increases the office staff, and it is planned
that the divisional engineers shall spend considerable time in field supervision.

Records have been obtained throughout the year on all the above stations excepting those
on Bath Creek, Spray River (SE. 32-22-10-5), and Spray Creek, where observers were not avail-
able during the winter months, and on Jumpingpound Creek, where only open water records
were desired.

Miscellaneous gaugings were made of Beaupr6 Creek (NE. 15-26-5-5), Big Hill Creek
(SW. 10-2&4-5), Chiniki Creek (near Morley), Grand Valley Creek (SW. 24-2&-5-5), Horse Creek
(NE. 8-26-4-5), Spencer Creek (SE. 18-26-5-5), Whiteman Creek, (NW. 24-24-11-5), and the tail-
race of Lake Louise power house.

Floods of imu.sual size occurred on all streams in this district during June, causing con-
siderable damage to property along their banks and adding much to the field and office work.

An automatic gauge was installed on Ghost River during the fall, but was not operated.
It is expected that this gauge will give more accurate and continuous records on this important
stream.

During the summer a cable station was.erected on Spray River (SE. 31-22-10-5), which will
enable us to obtaui records during high water at this point.

The field work in this district was under the charge of H. C. Ritchie, A.M. Can. Soc. C.E.,
O. H. Hoover, B.A.Sc, and J. E. Caughey, B.Sc. The final computations for this report were
made by H. C. Ritchie and A. B. Cook.

Miscellaneous gaugings were made of a number of branch canals of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company's Irrigation systems, South Branch of Fish Creek (SE. 22-22-3-5), Lineham
Spillway at High River, and several springs.

The stations in the immediate vicinity of Calgary were in charge of the rating station
engineer.

Most of the streams in this district were subject to floods during the year. These floods
changed the discharge curves and also caused some damage to station equipments and con-
siderable damage to property along their banks.

The first suspension bridge erected by this survey was constructed on Fish Creek during
N^ovember, to enable satisfactory measurements being made during high stages.

The Calgary winter district included only Bow River (SE. 2-21-19-4), E. B. Canadian Pacific
Railway Company Canal, Elbow River, Highwood River (XW. 6-19-28-4), Little Bow Ditch
and Red Deer River on the above list. The South Saskatchewan River was included in the
Macleod district during the winter months.

H. S. Kerby, B.A.Sc, H. W. Rowley, B.Sc, R. J. McGuinness, H. B. R. Thompson and
F. K. Beach, A. M. Can. Soc. C.E., had charge of this district for various periods, and R. J.

The streams in this district rising north of the Crowsnest pass were subject to floods during
June, but did little damage.

The installation of an automatic gauge on the Oldman River (XW. 10-9-26-4) was commenced
during the fall, and it is proposed to place a Stevens Continuous Water Stage Recorder at this
station earlj^ in 1916.

Winter records were obtained on Castle River, Crowsnest River (three stations), Oldman
River (three stations), St. Mary River and also of most of the creeks shown in the miscellaneous
list. The Oldman River (XW. 1-9-22-4) and St. Mary River were added to the Cardston district
while the South Saskatchewan River (XW. 31-12-5-4), Swiftcurrent Creek (SW. 12-15-14-3 and
XW. 18-15-13-3) and Xotukeu Creek were added to the Macleod district.

The field work in this district was in charge of J. E. Caughey, B.Sc, F. R. Steinberger,

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

Winter observations were made on Belly River (two stations), Blackiston Brook, Cameron
Creek, Lee Creek, North and South Branches of Milk River, St. Mary River and Waterton
River (two stations). In addition, the winter district included Milk River I'XE 21-2-16-4)
Oldman River (NW. 1-9-22-4), and St. Mary River (NE. 26-7-22-4).

The stations on St. Mary (NW. 25-1-25-4) and North and South Branches of Milk River are
equipped with automatic gauges and are maintained jointly by this branch, with Water Resources
Branch of the United States Geological Survey.

A new station was established on Waterton River near its mouth, and a cable installed in
November. This will enable us to obtain more complete records of the flow of this stream.

O. H. Hoover, B.A.Sc, J. E. Degnan, V. A. Newhall, B.A.Sc, and W. H. Storey were in
charge of this district for various periods. The final computations for the report were made

It will be noted that a new station was established on Maple Creek below the mouth of
Gap Creek and that the station on Maple Creek on the Northeast quarter of Sec. 16, Tp. 11,
Rge. 26, W. 3rd Mer., and the station on (iap Creek on the Northeast quarter of Sec. 31, Tp. 11,
Rge. 26, W. 3rd Mer., have been abandoned.

At all these stations, with the exception of Sage Creek, some records were obtained. At a
number of the ditch stations little or no water was used owing to the very wet season.

No winter records were obtained on any of the streams in this district during 1915.

Miscellaneous gaugings were made of Adams Springs (NW. 32-5-1-4), Link Spring (NW.
32-5-1-4), and a few other coulees and small creeks.

a This station was originally located on NW. 29-7-28-3, but was moved to its present position on July 4, 1911.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

Most of the flow of the streams in this district takes place in the early spring during the
break up, and the district was covered during this period by three engineers. W. H. Rowley,
B.Sc, was in charge of the work on the lower stations on Battle and Willow Creeks: H. R.
Carscallen. B.A.Sc, those on the upper waters of Battle and Lodge Creeks; R. J. Srigley and
H. B. R. Thompson, for various periods, those north of the C>T5ress Hills, west of Maple Creek.
After the end of the freshet period, Mr. Rowley was in charge of the whole district, and, also
made the final computations for this report. Mr Rowley also acted as water-master in this
district, but owing to the abundance of rainfall his duties as water-master were very light.

and streams.

The only winter records obtained in this district were on Saunders Springs.

During 1915 the streams in this district maintained flows which were well above the average.

The early spring flow of streams in this district was obtained by two engineers, M. H. French-
having charge of the work south, and J. E. Caughey, B.Sc, that north of the Cjqjress Hills.
J. E. Caughey had charge of the field work during the balance of the year. . J. E. Caughey,

AH stations in this district were maintained throughout the winter 1914-15, and all but
Pigeon Creek and Sturgeon River at St. Albert during the W'inter of 1915-16. During the
Winter of 1914-15, the stations in this district in the vicinity of Edmonton were included in the
Jasper district and those in the south in Calgary winter district. In the winter of 1915-lG the
southern streams were again included in the Calgary district, and the northern with the Peace
River district.

Floods on these streams in Juno and July did much damage to private property and also
destroyed the cable stations on the North Saskatchewan River, and Clearwater River near
Rocky Mountain House. These were re-established in September.

Miscellaneous gaugings in the vicinity of the mouth of Brazeau River were made by H. B. R.
Thompson during January and March.

streams.

Observations of gauge height were made at the regular stations for various periods and
throughout the winter on Martin Creek, Shunda Creek and North Saskatchewan River (Sec.
14-40-13-5).

Cables were erected on the North Saskatchewan (two stations), and a temporary cable was
used to make measurements on many other streams.

This district was established in 1915 under the charge of O. H. Hoover, B.A.Sc, who
installed and maintained the stations as well as carrjdng out a reconnaissance of the head
waters of the North Saskatchewan River. Mr Hoover also made the final computation for the
amuial report, and a description of the field work and district is given in a report by Mr. Hoover,
which will be included in the Appendix to this report.

other small streams and springs.

Winter records were obtained on all streams in this district except Sturgeon River (three
stations).

Floods prevailed on most of the streams in this district during June, but did not do any great
amount of damage.

Continuous gauge height observations cannot be obtained at many of the stations owing to
the country being very sparsely settled.

P. l\. Daniells, B.Sc, R. J. McCJuinness and J. M. Paul, B.A., B.E., were in charge of the
field work for various. periods and J. M. Paul, A. B. Cook and F. S. Dyke made the final com-
putations for the aruiual ivfjort.

Gauges are also maintained on Lesser Slave Lake, on Sec. 19-75-14-5 and SW. lo-73-6-5.

Miscellaneous gaugings were made of Battle River (9&-2t -oj, Buffalo River (102-20-5),
Cadotte River (19-89-21-5), South Heart River (SW. 31-75-16-5), East Prairie River (SW.
11.74.16-5)^ West Prairie River (SW. 14-74-17-5), Little Smoky River (15-77-14-5), and Whitemud
River (25-88-21-5).

This district was started in 1915 and P. H. Daniells, B.Sc, was in charge of the field work,
establishing and maintaining stations as well as conducting a reconnaissance of the whole
district. Most of the discharge me,asurements were made from a boat or ferry. A full des-
cription of this work and district is given in Mr. Daniells' report for 1915, which will be found
in the appendix to this report.

Winter work has been carried out in this district under I. R. Stroma and C. M. O'Xeil on
all streams in this district, except Swan River and Peace River (NW. 18-108-11-5), the latter
station being in charge of P. H. Daniells, who is making a special study of the winter flow at that
point.

The final computations for the annual report were made by P. H. Daniells, I. R. Strome
and O. H. Hoover.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS.

During 1915, special investigations were made by a party of engineers consisting of R. J.
McGuinness, representing the Calgary Office, C. L. Dodge, B.Sc, representing the Department
of Natural Resources, Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and L. E. Kendall, B.Sc, represent-
ing the Ottawa Office, for the purpose of determining the value of the co-efficient " n " in
Kutter's formula for Secondary Canal "A," in the Western Section of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company's Irrigation Block.

Three typical sections of the canal, where no water was diverted, were chosen for these
investigations. Each was studied separately, and every care was taken to secure accurate
records. The velocities and discharges at each end of each section were determined by frequent
current-meter observations and the use of automatic water stage registers. The cross-sections,
wetted perimeters, and slopes of the canal were carefully measured with suitable instruments,
for several stages of the canal. Descriptions of the canal were also carefully recorded.

These investigations were carried out for several stages of the canal at each section, but
owing to the impossibility of filling the canal to its capacity at that time, the results are incon-
clusive and only a progress report was submitted. Further investigations will therefore have
to be made at a later date to complete the work. No report of the results of the investigations
was therefore prepared for publication with this report.

After the above work, R. J. McGuinness and L. E. Kendall, with the co-operation of the
Department of Natural Resources of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, continued the
study of the absorption losses in the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company's canals near
Lethbridge. By the use of current-meters and automatic water stage registers, continuous
records of the flow at each end of the experimental sections were obtained, and the absorption
losses in cubic feet for a certain period were determined.

A progress report upon this work was also submitted, but fvuther investigations will be
made before a final report is submitted for publication.

CURRENT-METER RATING STATION.

The engineer in charge of the rating station also had charge of the following regular gauging
stations:

INTRODUCTION 19

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

BEXCH-MARKS.

When the stream measurement work was first started, the gauges were usualh* referred to
bench-marks on wooden stakes or stumps of trees. These were easih^ shifted or destroj-ed and
were not satisfactory. In 1911, an iron bench-mark was adopted by this branch, and now almost
all the gauges are either referred to bench-marks on concrete piers or other permanent structures,
or to one of these iron bench-marks. Whenever an opportunity is afforded these are tied to the
Canadian Pacific Railway or Dominion Government levels, to determine their elevation above
sea level, and they are therefore also a convenient reference for local levelling operations.

Description of the iron bench-marks are given in the Report of the Progress of Stream
Measurements for 1911 and 1912.

OFFICE WORK.

As above intimated, the reports of the gauge height observers and the engineers are trans-
mitted to the office by mail. These are copied to office forms and filed in a cabinet, which is
carefully indexed and where they can be referred to at any time without trouble. As the engineers
complete their computations, the results are entered on convenient forms and filed in the same
cabinet.

A cabinet made up of four styles of drawers is used for filing the records. The top section
is used for filing the gauge height books of the observers and the current^meter notes of the
engineers. The gauge height books and current-meter notes are filed alphabetically, according
to the names of the streams. The ne.xt section contains the postal cards sent iu by the observers
and these are also filed alphabetically according to the names of the streams. The third section
is made up of map drawers and contains the gauge height-area, gauge height-mean velocity and
gauge height-discharge curves, and plotted cross-sections, which are filed alphabetically,
according to the names of the streams. The same section contains the maps showing the out-
lines of the drainage basins, filed numerically according to the number of the sectional sheet.
The rating curves for the current-meters are also filed in this section numericall}', according
to the office numbers of the current-meters. The bottom section of the cabinet consists of letter
size pockets, alphabetically arranged for each gauging station. The tables of gauge heights,
discharge measurements, daily gauge height and discharge, monthly discharge, a description
of the station and memoranda of any changes are filed in these pockets. The different rating
tables for each meter are also filed numerically in this section and another drawer contains the
daily and monthly reports of the meteorological service.

The copying and filing of the reports of the gauge height observers and the engineers is
entrusted to the office recorder. While doing this he carefully examines all records to see that
there are no errors, and where there are doubtful or impossible records, it is his dutj' to have the
data corrected or ascertain the cause of the unusual condition. He also makes out the pay list
for the observers and conducts the correspondence relating to the records.

All computations are checked before being used or published. For this reason, as far as
possible, men with some technical education, or students in science, are engaged as helpers.
The discharge measurements are computed by the helper and his work is checked by the engineer.
In some instances, where there is a great deal of driving and camping out, the engineer cannot
secure a helper who can compute discharges, and in that case he computes the discharges him-
self and his computations are checked in the office.

Gaugings of the flow under ice are usually made by using the multiple point method, and
vertical velocity curves have to be plotted to determine the mean velocity in the vertical.

The computation by this method is long and tedious and cannot be done by the engineer in
the field. There are, therefore, a great many computations to be made in the office jind the
services of a computer are required.

G. H. Nettleton, the regular recorder, went on Active Service earl^ in 1915. iind W. K.
Broughton therefore filled the position of office recorder and J. B. Gray that of office computer,
during 1915.

The results of the discharge measurements are plotted on cross-section paper bv one of the
assistant engineers as soon as they are received in the office, and thus a very close check is kept
on the records, and errors can be detected at once and in most eases can be rectified. At the
same time the records are kept up to date and demands for provisional estimates can be met at
an early date. Important clianges in the flow are also detected at once and instrmtious are
issued without delay to the field engineers to obtain further gaugings. The fust :u\d serond
assistants to the Chief llydrometric iMigineer .supervi.se the olliee and field work by lonstantly
checking and inspecting it and also do considerable work in the prep.'irjUion of the ;mi\u:il :uul
special n^jJortH.

P. M. Sauder, D.L.S., M. Can. Soc. C.K., oeeupien the position of Chief Uydrometrio
Engineer, and during 1915, C. II. Whyte and (5. U. Klliott, D.L.S., B.A.Se.. A.M. Cjin. Soo. C.E..

isional llydrometric Kngineers, and had charge of the prepjiriition of most of the records for
this report.

FUTURE WORK.

During 1916, a special effort is being made to again obtain the total spring run-off of the
main streams in the Cj^press Hills and of Pakowki Lake drainage basin. The records obtained
in former years on these streams are of especial value and no doubt those of 1916 will be just as
valuable.

While the districts will be re-arranged and a few unimportant stations discontinued, practi-
cally all the regular work will be continued during 1916.

The investigations of absorption losses in irrigation canals will also be continued.

Parties will again be placed on the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River and in the
Peace River district. In both these districts there are water power sites, and records of the
flow are required to determine the possibilities. Ordinary transportation facilities are not
available in either district. The engineer on the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan
River will therefore have to use pack ponies and the one in Peace River district will probably use
boats or canoes.

DEFINITIONS.

The volume of water flowing in a stream is kno'mi as run-off or discharge. In expressing it
various units are used, depending upon the kind of work for which the data is needed. Those
used in this report are " second-foot," " acre-foot," " run-off per square mile " and "run-off
in depth in inches " and may be defined as follows:

" Second-foot " is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second, and is the body of water flowing
in a stream one foot wide and one foot deep at the rate of one foot per second.

The "acre-foot " is the unit capacity used in connection with storage for irrigation work
and is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet. It is the quantitj^ required to cover an acre to a depth
of one foot.

The expression " second-feet per square mile " means the average number of cubic feet of
water flowing each second from every square mile of drainage area on the assumption that the
run-off is imiformly distributed.

" Depth in inches " means the depth of water in inches that would have covered the
drainage area, uniformly distributed, if all the water could have accumulated on the surface.
This quantity is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which quantitj' is usually given in
depth in inches.

It should be noticed that " acre-feet " and " depth in inches " represent the actual quanti-
ties of water which are produced during the periods in question, while " second-feet," on the
contrary, is merely a rate of flow per second.

EXPLANATION AND USE OF TABLES.

The data obtained and the estimates made therefrom have been compiled in tabulated form
and for each regular gauging station are given, as far as available, the following data:

1. Description of station.

2. List of discharge measurements.

3. Table of daily gauge heights and discharges.

4. Table of monthlj^ discharges and run-off.

The description of stations gives such general information about the locality and equipment
as would enable the reader to find and use the station. It also gives, as far as possible, complete
history of all the changes that have occurred since the station was established and that might
affect the records in any way.

The list of discharge measurements gives the results of all the discharge measurements
that have been made at or in the vicinity of the gauging station.or have been used in completing
the records for the gauging station. It gives the date on which the measurement was made, the
name of the engineer, the width and area of cross-section, the mean velocity of the current, the
gauge height and the discharge in second-feet.

The table of daily gauge heights and discharges given in this report is a combination of two
tables kept in the office of the survey, namely the table of daily gauge heights and the station
rating table. The table of daily gauge heights gives the daily fluctuations of the surface of the
.water above the zero of the gauge, as reported by the observer. During high water, two obser-
vations of the gauge were made at some stations and the gauge height given in the table is the
mean of the observations for the day. Where automatic gauges are maintained the records
given are the mean stage for the day. The discharge measurements and gauge heights are the
base data from which the other tables are computed. The table of daily discharges is the
discharge in second-feet, corresponding to the stage of the stream, as given by the station rating
table.

In the table of monthly discharge the column headed " maximum " gives the mean flow for
the day when the mean gauge height was highest. As the gauge height is the mean for the day,
there might have been short periods when the water level and the corresponding discharge were
higher than given in this column. Likewise, in the column " minimum " the quantity given is
the mean flow for the day when the mean gauge height was lowest. The column headed " mean "

INTRODUCTION 21

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

is the average flow for each second during the month. The computations for the quantities in
the remaining columns have been based upon this mean. The drainage area for each gauging
station was marked off on the sectional maps of the department and the area taken off with a
planimeter. In many districts, information regarding topographical features is very incomplete
and the computed areas are only approximate. As the surveys of the department are extended
and completed, these computations will be checked and, if necessary, corrected.

INTRODUCTION 23

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

Slope Method of Determining Discharge. — The slope of a stream, or rather of a section
of a stream, is the difference in elevation between the upper and lower ends of the section,
commonly called the fall, divided by the distance or the length of the section. Slope sections
vary in length from a few hundred feet to several thousand feet, depending largely upon the
nature of the stream.

It is diflBcult to ascertain accurately the slope of the water surface in a stream, since in
nearly all streams there are pulsations in the water, causing the surface to rise and fall locally.
In most streams the slope of the bottom is far from uniform, and the flow of water in any given
section is more or less influenced by the flow in the adjacent section, above or below. For this
reason it is a good plan to consider a number of adjacent sections, comprising a considerable
length of the stream in one computation, being careful to take into account the diversity of cross-
section at various places in the length, and the fact that the slope of the water surface of a stream
becomes more uniform during high water and flood stages.

In determining the slope of the surface of a stream, levels are taken of the water surface
at each end of the slope section, and referred to some datum or bench-mark. A good plan is to
set firmly a stout wooden stake below the water surface at each end of the slope section, and
then to drive a nail into the top of each stake, so that the nail-head will exactly coincide with the
water surface. The difference in elevation between the two nail-heads, divided by the distance
between the stakes, will give the slope.

The wetted perimeter is that portion of a stream channel that is in contact with the water.
The form or outline of the wetted perimeter of a stream has an important influence upon the
velocity of the current. It is usually determined graphically from the plotted cross-section
or may be measured by means of a flexible tape or chain after the flood has subsided.

The hydraulic radius, which is sometimes called the mean radius of the channel below the
water surface is found by dividing the area of the cross-section (in sq. ft.) by the length of the
wetted perimeter (in feet).

The Chezy formula, which is the fimdamental formula for stream discharge, is:
Q = AV
in which Q = the discharge of the stream in sec. -ft.

A = the area of the cross-section in sq. feet.

V = the mean velocity of flow, in ft. per sec.

In applying this formula to the determination of stream discharge, the mean velocity of a
stream is considered a function of the slope and of the wetted perimeter of the stream. This
may be expressed by formula as follows:

V = Cv/rs

in wliich r = the hydraulic radius of the channel.

s = the surface slope,
and C is a variable coefficient, depending upon the nature of the channel.

In determining the value of C for any given case it is customary to make use of Kutter's formula,
which is :

.00281 1.811
41.6+ +

C = -

1-H (41.6+ -02281

In this formula r and s have the same significance as in the Chez> formula and the new factor
n is called the coefficient of roughness. It is a variable coefficient, and its value is dependent
upon the size, shape, slope and degree of roughness of the channel. Tables of values of n are
given in various text books, but it is difficult to choose the correct value. It is therefore
advisable, v/henever possible, to compute the value of n from a measured discharge. .\s the
slope method of deterniiniiig discharge is seldom emplojed except to estiniute flood discharge,
a current meter measurement is very often made at the slope section, during low water.
Having determined the mean velocity, slope and hydraulic radius at the time of the metering,

the value of C may be found from the formula F = C' \^ rs or C = \/ ts Trautwine's Pocket
iifiok for Civil Engineers and other texts contain tahli-s giving the value of n for ditTonnt
values of r, s, and c. From these tables we can interpolate the proj)er value of n for a particular
section of the stream, at low water stage. In moat casi-s this value of n is applicable to high
water and Ihjod conditions of the stream also, and is used with values of r and s for the high
water or Hood cross-section to determine the value of (' at the higher stage. Having deter-
mined the value of C the computation of the discharge is simple.

Till' ir.sults obtained by tiie slope method are in general only roughly approximate, owing
to the (liirnully in obtaining accurate data and the uncertainty of the value of fi to be u.sed.

VViMii Mktiioi) ok DKTKii.MiNiNii 1 )i.>^t'ii.\i{ui;.— .\s Vet few permanent weirs have been con-
structed by thi.s survey, Init many regular weir measurements are nuule on small strt>ai\is hv
means of a temporary weir. The weir used ctinsists of a woculen base of J-inch plank, to which
is bolted a rectangular notch of three-eighths inch steel with bevelled od^ej<.

In making a measurement bv means of a temporary weir, the following directions shiHild
be followed as far as possible. 'The weir should be placed perpendiculiir and at right angles to

24 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

the bed of the stream with the crest level. The discharge should be free in so much as the
nappe should have sufficient fall to allow air to have free circulation underneath it, and the
head or depth on the crest should not exceed one-third of the length. The channel of approach
should be several times as wide as the opening and the depth of water in the bay or pond should
be at least twice the head on the weir, so as to eliminate velocity of approach and cross-
currents. In choosing a site for a weir, a point should be chosen that will fulfil the above
conditions and give a good-sized bay or pond.

To set up a temporary weir, a dam of sods and earth is thrown across the stream, the weir
is set in place and the sods are tramped firmly arovmd it to stop all leakage. On a stream with
a sandy bed, sods or clay must be placed on the bottom for a few feet upstream to form a
mattress to prevent the undermining of the dam.

After the bay has filled up, the head of the water is observed by taking the difference in
elevation of the crest of the weir and the elevation of the water surface in the bay at a distance
of 4 to 10 feet from the weir, with an engineer's level. Two common methods of getting the
elevation of the water surface are: (1) hold the levelling rod on a stone or other solid body under
water and subtract the depth of water on the rod from the sight on the rod^ (2) drive a pin
divided into tenths of feet into the bed of the stream so that an even tenth is level with the
surface of the water, then hold the levelling rod on the top of the pin and add the length of pin
above the water to the sight on the rod.

When the head of water has been determined, the discharge is computed by using one of
the standard formulae which will suit the case. Tables giving the discharges for different
heads and lengths of crests are published in many engineering texts.

The formula used by this survey for rectangular sharp-crested weirs is:

Q = 3.33 (L — .2/7) HVs being a modification of Francis' formula, to allow for
end contractions and elimination of velocity of approach.

in which Q = discharge in sec. -ft.; L = length of crest in feet; // = head in feet.

Measurements by means of temporary weirs should be made some distance above or below
the gauge. If they are made close to a gauge, the gauge must be read before the weir is placed
in the stream, and the pond must be allowed to run off after the weir is removed before the
gauge is re-read.

Where permanent weirs are installed, the gauge height observed is that of an auxiliary
gauge above the weir, which is kept so that the head of the weir can be read direct. The weir
is not usually placed so that it will interfere with the regular station, so that if at any time the
weir is destroyed the regular gauge can be read during the period that the weir is out of order.

Velocity Method of Determining Disch.\rge. — There are two methods of determining
the velocity of flow of a stream, namely, direct and indirect. In the direct method, by which
the velocity is determined by means of floats, the liability of error is large, and the results
far from satisfactory. This method is seldom used except for very rough estimates, or when
a current meter cannot be used. There are three common kinds of floats, viz.: surface, sub-
surface and tube or rod floats. In each the procedure is the same. A straight piece of channel
is selected for the rim and two cross-sections are taken at some convenient distance apart,
usually from 100 to 200 feet. They are then divided into strips by means of a tagged wire.
The velocity in each strip is then measured by noting the time taken by the float in traversing
the run or distance between the two cross-sections. As the time and distance are both known
the velocity can easily be computed. The velocity, whether measured by surface, sub-surface
or tube floats, must be multiplied by a coefficient less than unity to reduce to the mean velocity
before being used to compute the discharge.

The indirect or current-meter method is the most reliable and most widely used method of
determining the velocity of the flow of a stream. The meter used by this survey is the Price
Patent, manufactured by W. & L. E. Gurley, Troy, N.Y. It consists of six cups attached to
a vertical shaft, which revolves on a conical hardened steel point when immersed in moving
water. The number of revolutions is indicated electrically. The rating or relation between
the velocity of the moving water and the revolutions of the wheel is detenninod for each n-.eter
by drawing it through still water for a given distance at different speeds and noting the number
of revolutions for each run. From this data a rating table is prepared which gives the velocity
per second of moving water for any numl^er of revolutions in a given time interval.

In making a measurement with a current meter, a number of points, called measuring
points, are measured off above and in the plane of the measuring section, at which observations
of depth and velocity are taken. These points are spaced eciually for those parts of the section
where the flow is uniform and smooth, but should be spaced unequally for other parts according
to the discretion and judgment of the engineer. In general, the points should not be spaced
farther apart than 5 per cent of the distance between piers, nor farther apart than the approxi-
mate mean depth of the section at the time of measurement.

The measuring points divide the total cross-section into elementary strips, at each end of
which observations of depth and velocity are made. The discharge of any elementary strip is
the product of the average of the depths at the ends, the width of the strip, and the average
of the mean velocities at two ends of the strip. The sum of the discharges of the elementary
strips is the total discharge of the stream.

The accuracy of a discharge measurement taken at a velocity area station is dependent
on two factors, the accuracy with which the area of the cross-section and the mean velocity of

INTRODUCTION 25

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

the flow normal to that section are measured. The greatest, and the most common errors in
measurements of discharge are caused by erroneous soundings. Errors in soundings by weight
and line are due to the weight being carried down-stream, or, sometimes to the bowing of the
line. Both these causes make the soundings too great. Errors in soundings with rods are due
to the rod not being perpendicular, to the water rising on the rod, and to the rod sinking in the
bed. In order to verify the accuracy of soundings made at medium or high stages they should
be compared with those at low water. The mean velocity is also very difficult to measure
accurately, because it is constantly changing. It varies not only from the surface to the
bottom, but from one bank of the stream to the other, making it necessary to measure
it at a number of points.

METHODS OF DETERMI^aNG MEAN VELOCITY.

There are a number of different methods of determining the mean velocity at the ends of
these strips, or, as it is commonly called, the mean velocity in a vertical, namely, multiple-
point, single-point, and integration. These three principal multiple-point methods in general
use are the vertical velocity-curve, three-point and twc-point method.

Vertical Velocity-Curve Method of Determining Mean Velocity. — In this method
the centre of the meter is held as close to the surface of the water as possible, being careful
to keep it out of reach of all surface disturbances, and then at a number of different depths
throughout the vertical. The velocity at each position of the meter is recorded. These
observations are then plotted with velocities in feet per second as abscissae and their corres-
ponding depths in feet as ordinates, and a mean curve is drawn through the points. The mean
velocity for the vertical is oh)tained by dividing the area bounded by the curve and its axis
by the depth. In the absence of a planimeter for measuring the area, the depth is divided
into 5 to 10 equal parts, and the velocities of the centre ordinates of these parts are noted.
The mean of these velocities will very closely approximate the mean in the vertical.

It is often more convenient, when the depth is a number of feet and a fraction, as 7.4, to
divide the depth into 7 parts of a foot width, and a part of 0.4 foot width. Then the velocity
to enter for the narrow part is 0.4 of the velocity at the centre of it.

The vertical velocity curve is useful in studying the manner in which velocities occur in a
vertical. From a study of a number of these curves the other shorter methods of determining
mean velocity are deduced. On account of the length of time taken to complete a measure-
ment, this method is not used in general routine measurements, except during the winter, for a
change of stage is almost sure to occur during a measurement on a large stream which coimter-
balances the increased accuracy. For this reason its use is limited to the determination of the
coefficient to be used in the reduction of values obtained by other methods of measuring
velocity to the true value, to the measurements of velocities under new and imusual conditions
of flow, and for measurements under ite.

Three-Point Method of Determining Mean VEaxx;iTY. — This method is one of the short
methods of obtaining the mean velocity in the vertical and, under some conditions, gives the
most accurate results next to the vertical velocity-curve method. It has been used almost
exclusively by this survey in past years, during the open water period, but recently has be*n
superseded by the two-point method which, under most conditions, gives more accurate results.
In the three-point method, the current-meter is held at 0.2, 0.0, and 0.8 depth. The mean is
then obtained by dividing by 4 the sum of the velocities at 0.2 and 0.8 depth plus twice the
velocity at O.G depth.

TwoPoiNT Method of Determining Mf:an Velocity. — In studying the vertical curves
made at a number of different points and under varied conditions, it has been found that the
meiui of tin; velocities occurring at 0.2 and O.S depth gives very nearly the mean velocity in
the vertical. Use is made of tlii.s fac( in tlie two-point method of determining mean velocity,
the meter being liehl a( 0.2 and O.S depth in the vertical. This nietluul has been found more
accurate than the single-point method and the time recjuired for a metering is not very much
grciater. This method has been found to give, also, a very close approximate to the mean
velocity in measurements of ice-covered streams, although these flow under very difTerent
conditions from thos(! of open water.

SiNGLK-l'oiNT Method of Dktkumining Mean Nkloiity. — F-xperinunts iiuule under most
favourable (londitions and extending over a h>ng period have «'Stablished the point of mean
vehirity in a vertical at 0.(> of liie depth. Tln-n-fore the i-rror resulting from the use i»f the 0 l>

greater the velocity, the larger the coefficient. In flood work coefficients varying from 0.90
to 0.95 should be used. This method is only used when the current is too strong to permit the
sinking of the meter to any great depth below the surface of the water. It is often employed
at time of flood, or when a stream is carrying a lot of drift-wood or ice.

Integr^vtion Method of Determining Mean Velocity. — This method of determining
the mean velocity in a vertical consists in moving the meter at a slow uniform speed from the
bed of the stream to the surface and return in a vertical direction, the time and revolutions
being observed. In travelling through all parts of the verjtical the meter is aqted upon by
each and every thread of velocity from the bed to the surface of the stream, and the resulting
observations determine the mean in that vertical.

This method is very useful in checking the results of other methods. It is, however, seldom
used by this survey, as the Price meter is not suited to observations by this method, since the
vertical motion of the meter causes the wheel to revolve.

GAUGING stations.

The first step is to select a suitable locality for a gauging station. Although apparently
simple, this is really a difficult task. Not only must the water be moving in nearly straight
lines over a solid bed and between well defined banks, but the place must be accessible at
moderate cost and there must be living near it a competent person who can be engaged to serve
as observer. Permanent gauging stations should only be selected after a very thorough -recon-
naissance. In the irrigation districts and in more thickly populated districts there is more or
less diversion of water. This is apt to complicate matters for the engineer, for a gauging station
above all works may not include all the tributaries of the stream and it is often necessary to
establish gauging stations at several points along the streams, and on tributaries, canals, and
pipe lines in order to obtain complete information regarding the water supply in a particular
stream.

There are three classes of gauging stations, namely, wading, bridge and cable stations.
The wading station can of course only be used in the case of small streams having a maximum
depth at its highest stage of three feet or less. The equipment for a wading station is small,
consisting usually of a plain staff gauge, graduated to feet and hundredths, and fixed vertically
to one of the banks of the stream. For convenience a measuring line, usually a wire with tags,
may be fixed permanently at this section. When taking the reading, the engineer should
stand below and to one side of the meter so as not to cause eddies in the water.

Bridge stations, because of their permanency and the freedom of movement allowed the
engineer, are much preferred. Very often, however, more particularly in swift currents, the
piers materially affect the accuracy of the results. When the gauge cannot be attached to a
pier it is often attached horizontally to the guard-rail or floor of the bridge, and the height of
the stream is found by lowering a weight by a chain over a pulley. It is indicated by a marker
on the chain. Distances of three, five or ten feet, according to the size of the stream, are
marked on the lower chord of the down stream side of the bridge, to serve as a measuring
line.

Frequently it is impossible to establish a permanent gauging station at a bridge. In that
case the wire cable of a ferry can be utilized, or, if that is not available, a permanent wire
cable is stretched across the river. For spans of average length a galvanized wire cable three-
fourths of an inch in diameter is safe. It is supported' at each bank by means of high struts or
b}^ passing it through the crotch of a tree. The cable is run into the ground and anchored
securely to a " dead man " buried at least six feet below the surface, or, if convenient, it is
anchored to a lower part of the trimk of a tree. A turnbuckle is inserted in the cable between
the strut and anchorage to permit tightening the cable when it begins to sag. A permanent
measuring line, usually a wire, with tags five or ten feet apart, is stretched across the stream
just above the cable. A cage large enough to carry two men and instruments is constructed
and suspended from the cable by means of cast iron pulleys. The cage is moved from point
to point by hand. A stay line, usually quarter inch guy wire, is stretched across the stream
about thirty to forty feet upstream from the cable, and securely fastened. By passing a sash
cord through a pulley hung on this stay line the current-meter is prevented from being carried
down stream. This type of station has the advantage that it can usually be located at the
most desirable point on the stream and is free of piers and other obstructions.

LOW velocity limitations.

Owing to the presence of a slight amount of friction in the current-meter, a certain definite
velocity is required to make the wheel revolve, i.e., to overcome the frictional rcsistence of
the wheel. For this reason the meter is unsuitable for the measurement of low velocities
approaching this value. This velocity, which is required to overcome friction, and which is
obtained from the meter rating curve, is called the velocity of no flow for the particular
meter referred to. It varies in different types of meters, and also slightly in meters of the
same type, according to the time the meter is in use, but very seldom exceeds 0.2 foot per
second in any meter. From a number of observations the low velocity limit, below which
values of velocity are unreliable, is found to be 0.5 foot per second. In many cases at low
stages the gauging station on a stream becomes unsuitable for a discharge measurement owing

INTRODUCTION 27

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

to the mean velocity in the section falling below the safe limit. In such instances, where it is
possible to wade the stream, a suitable gauging section may be located within a reasonable
distance of the regular station and the discharge measurements made at this point. When a
gauging is made at a cross-section other than the regular station, suflBcient soundings should be
made at the latter at the time of the gauging to develop the cross-section and compute the
area. The measurement is thus referred to the regular gauging station, and the mean velocity
and area at the regular section are reported and used in the office computations.

OFFICE COMPUTATIONS.

Rating Curves and Tables. — When a series of discharge measurements has been made
at a gauging station a rating curve is constructed for that station, showing graphically the
discharge corresponding to any stage of the stream within the limits covered by the gaugings.
This curve, as it is usually drawn, has as abscissae the discharges in second-feet, and as ordmates
the corresponding gauge heights at which the discharges were made. A smooth curve is
drawn through the resulting set of points, and from this curve the discharges at any stage within
the limits of the curve are taken. Some measurements may be more reliable than others,
owing to more or less favourable conditions at different times of gauging, or to other causes.
In order to obtain the weight of the different measurements, curves with area and mean
velocity, as abscissae, and gauge heights as ordinates, are also drawn. From a study of these
curves any discrepancies in a measurement, either in its area or mean velocity, may be detected.
Should it be necessary to extend the rating curve beyond the limits of actual discharge measure-
ments, the area and mean velocity curves may be constructed to the stages for which the
discharge curve is desired, and the latter found by taking the product of the two curves. The
discharge curve under natural conditions of flow is always convex to the gauge height axis.
The area curve is either a straight line or is convex to the gauge height axis, except in the case
of overhanging banks, when it becomes concave to the axis. The mean velocity curve is always
concave to the gauge height axis, except in cases where standmg water occurs below the stage
of no-flow. In this case the curve will assume a reverse form, starting from the gauge height
of zero-flow with a curve convex to the gauge height axis and gradually reversing to a curve
concave to this axis. In plotting all three curves the horizontal and vertical scales should
be chosen that the curves may be used within the limits of accuracy for the work, and in their
critical position will make, aij nearly as possible, angles of 45 degrees with each axis.

The rating curve being constructed, it becomes necessary to prepare a station rating
table, giving the discharge at any stage of the stream within the limits of the daily gauge
height observations on record. From this rating table the daily discharges corresiionding to
the daily gauge heights are read and tabulated. The rating table is constructed for tenths,
half-tenths, or hundredths of feet, according to the readings of the gauge to which it is to be
applied. The discharges for this table are read directly from the rating curve and are then
adjusted so that the differences for successive stages shall be either constant or gradually
increasing, but never decreasing, unless the station is affected by backwater.

Daily Discharge, MoNrnLY Mean, and Run-Off. — The rating table being made to
cover the range of daily gauge height observations, the next procedure in the computations is
to make out a table of daily discharges from this rating table. The daily gauge heights are
copied as they were sent in by the observer, and opposite each the corresponding discharge
is filled in from the rating table. The monthly discharge is found by totalling the daily dis-
charges for the month in question, and the monthly meim is obtained by dividing this total by
the number of days in the month.

The run-off is computed witli two different sets of units, depending upon the kind of work
for which the data is intended, as follows:

(1) Run-off in inches is the depth to which a piano surface equal in extent to the drainage
area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given time were conserved and
uniformly distributed thereon; it is u.sed for comj)aring run-ott with rainfall, which is usually
exprcHHccl in depth in iuclies. The monthly mean run-olT in second-feet is divided by the area
of th(! drainag*! basin in s(|uare miles to lind the monthly mean run-uff per square mile. This
result reduced to run-olT in depth in inches for the iiioiithly periotl, is in the form required.

(2) The ruii-o(T in acre-feet is tiie form of most use in connection with storage. An .'icre-
foot is ('(luivalent to l.'J.rjdO cubic ft-et, nud is I lie (|u:iiitity of water ri'qiiired ti> ci>ver an acre
to the depth of one foot. Tlie mont lily mean run-olT in second-feet is useil for the ci»mputation
of nin-olT in acre-feet. The monthly mean is reduced to cubic foot per month, and this qututtity
divi<led by 4.'{,5()() gives the nm-olT in acre-feet.

'I'he run-olT of the stream being (tomputed both in deptli in inelies ami in acn^feet for each

INTRODUCTION 29

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

The Stout method deals with the correction of the gauge heights. A curve is drawn,
using the difference between the actual gauge heights at the time of measurement and the
gauge height corresponding to the measured discharge as ordinates, and the corresponding
days of the month as abscissae. From an irregular curve drawn through these points correc-
tions for gauge heights can be made for days on which there was no discharge measurement.
When the discharge is greater than that given bj' the curve the correction is positive, and
vice-versa. Each daily gauge height is corrected by the amoimt shown on the correction
curve, and the corresponding discharge taken from an approximate rating curve for the station.

The Bolster method deals more particularly with the modification of the discharge.
Results of discharge measurements covering a whole year or season are plotted and, though
considerably' scattered, will define one or more regular curves, called standard curves, the
number and position of each indicating the radical changes. Where the river bed changes
from day to day, the position of the standard curve also varies and must pass through the
points indicating the different days. The points indicating two successive measurements are
joined by a line, which for short distances on the cross-section paper is a straight line, and
otherwise a curve. This line is divided into a number of equal parts, each indicating an
intervening day, the assumption being that as the change during this period is gradual the
daily rating must pass through each point or day, as represented by the di\'isions. A simple
and convenient way of making these interpolations and moving the daily rating curve is to
make a tracing of the standard curve with a vertical line of reference. By keeping the lines
of reference coincident, this curve can be shifted into any desired position and the discharge
read for any gauge height.

WINTER RECORDS.

Formation of Ice and Ice Conditions. — Perhaps the greatest difficulties in stream
measurements are met with in the early part of the winter, just as the streams are commencing
to freeze up. Especially is this true in the swift running streams in or near the mountains.
Needle and anchor ice often form in large quantities in rapids and, flowing in masses with
the water, make gaugings very difficult and unreliable. Even after a permanent ice cover is
obtained at the gauging station this ice will, in some cases, obstruct the channel below the
station and cause " backwater."

A further difficulty is that the surface ice usually forms along the edges of the stream for
some time before forming in the centre of the channel. At first this may be broken away if
the stream is small and open water measurement made, but later it is necessary to take some
observations through holes in the ice along the edge. As the streams get farther away from
the mountains their velocity decreases, and fewer rapids occur along their course. There
is then less trouble with needle and anchor ice, and a permanent ice cover forms much more
quickly.

In many cases the section used during the summer is very unsuitable for making measure-
ments during the winter. It may be (a) too wide and shallow or flowing in two channels
during the winter, due to low water; (b) partially open, due to swift running water or warm
water running in; (c) affected by needle and anchor ice, either by flowing in the water, or
causing backwater; (d) located where the snow drifts over the ice to a great depth: (o) that
it is likely to have a rough ice cover or pile up with ice, due to swift water and a rough bed:
ff) that there is a tendency for ice jams to occur, with consequent backwater, etc.

It is therefore often necessary to choose a new section for winter observations. This
should be done before freeze-up, for then the width, depth, uniformity of flow and cinlditions
above and below can be easily noted. The most suitable stations for winter measurements
are those which have a long stretch of very smooth, sluggish water above, and a rapid full
below.

DiscuARGE Meakure-ments. — In winter as in svmmier, the daily discharges of a stream
are computed from frecjuent discharge measurements, and daily gauge height observations.
The discharge measurements are made through holes in the ice from five to ten or even twenty
feet apart, (Icpendiiig upon the size of the stream, and large enough to allow the current-meter
to pa.ss through freely. The gaugings are made in the same manner as at open sections except
that tiic dcptli of tiic stream is taken as the distance from the bottom of the ice to the U-d
of the stream. The soundings, however, are always referred to the surface of the water in
the holes, the distance from tlie surface of the water to the bottom of the ice being mciisuretl
and subtracted from the soundings to obtain the (i«-|)th.

The vertical velocity curve method is usually used fi>r the determination of the nu'.-m
vel(M'ity in the vertical. A curve is plotted for each vertical, and the mean vcUhmIv is deter-
mined in the usual nuinner. Tliese curves vary greatly as to form for different kinds and
coiiilitioiis of charuiel.

'I he tyi)ical curve, however, differs from that obtained from an open w.Hter observatn>n
in that it is drawn back more at the surface, owing no doubt to grt-uter friction between the
ice luiil tlic water as compared with the water and the atmoj^phere. .\» a result there are two
points in the verticjjl at which tiie thread of mean velocity occurs untler an ice oi»ver. Tln>sc
points are neii/ 0.2 and O.S of the total deptii below tlie bottom of the ice, and the menu n( the

30 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

velocities at these two depths will give accurate results, but when close estimates of the
discharges are required, and the conditions are not very favourable, the vertical velocity
method should be used.

It is found that when all the holes are opened on a small swift stream, there are sometimes
vertical pulsations of the water in the holes, which affect the velocity readings. This can
usually be avoided by only opening one hole at a time, and filling it in again with ice and snow
as soon as the observation is finished. It can also be overcome by inserting a thin sheet of
galvanized tin or iron at the bottom of the hole after the meter has been lowered into the
water. The meter should always be held near the upstream side of the hole.

In using the meter care must be taken to keep it under the water as much as possible to
prevent ice from forming around the bearings. It is a good plan to clean and oil the meter
indoors before starting out to make a gauging.

Gauges and Gauge Observations. — The gauge is usually read once each day, the observer
noting the elevation of the water as it rises in a hole cut through the ice, the height of the
top of the ice, the thickness of the ice, presence of needle or slush ice, snow on top of ice, ice
jams, and any sudden changes in temperature. To do this the observers are provided with
an ice chisel for chopping holes, and an L-shaped ice scale to measure the thickness of the ice.

A difficulty which arises in obtaining the thickness of the ice is that in a hole kept open
for some time the ice wears away around the bottom of the hole, and may make it necessary
to cut a new hole near by, or to enlarge the original.

Any form of gauge may be used, but the chain gauge is the most satisfactory, as the staff
gauge, being frozen to the ice, heaves with it, and also in cutting away the ice from around
it the figures are effaced. The automatic gauge gives trouble with the well freezing over.

Estimates of Daily Disceiarge. — While the run-off, particularly during the winter
months, does not vary directly in accordance with the precipitation, the rate at which it
reaches the streams is, of course, dependent almost entirely upon the climatic conditions.
The climate in the mountains is subject to great extremes, but during the winter almost the
entire precipitation is in the form of snow.

There is, therefore, very little surface run-off, and the flow of the streams comes almost
entirely from the glaciers, ground waters and lake storage, and except for the losses due to
freezing and the slight increases, due to the melting of snow and ice by chinooks (warm winds),
the flow in the streams would remain constant or would change gradually.

There are, however, certain local conditions in Western Canada which make it excep-
tionally difficult to make estimates of the daily discharge during the winter. The gauge
height in many cases fluctuates very much, and often sudden rises or drops occur. These
rises are often explained by the fact that during very cold spells a great deal of slush, frazil,
and anchor ice is formed and chokes up the channel, thus raising the surface of the water,
when in reality the discharge is decreasing. Then, again, a chinook causes a sudden rise in
temperature and the discharge is often increased, while at the same time the gauge height
gradually lowers, evidently because the warmer weather and water have melted out a lot of
the ice from the channel and given it a greater carrying capacity.

In order to make reliable estimates of the daily discharge, gaugings must be made at
short intervals and the weather conditions and temperatures in the whole of the drainage area
above the stations must be very carefully studied.

W. G. Hoyt, District Engineer, Water Resources Branch, U.S. Geological Survey, has
made an exhaustive study of methods for estimating the flow when streams are frozen. TJie
various methods described by him in an article in " Engineering News " on April 10, 1913, and
Water-Supply Paper 337, published by the United States Geological Survey, in 1913, and
modifications of them, are used. The^graphic method of interpolation has been found to be
generally applicable, but as the precipitation during the winter months has so little effect
upon the run-off during that period, it is seldom plotted on the sheets. It is also considered
that the extremes and ranges of temperatures are better guides for interpolation than the mean
temperatures, and the minimum and maximum temperatures are both plotted and given due
consideration rather than the mean temperatures.

The weather conditions and temperatures at the gauging station are not always typical
for the whole drainage basin above, and care must therefore be taken to have the meteoro-
logical observations made at some other place, or, if necessary, at two or more places. Of
course, care must be taken to study all the possible conditions which may affect the estimates.

Plate 4 shows typical conditions and illustrates the graphic method of interpolating the
daily discharges.

Additional information on this subject may be found in the appendix of the 1914 report.

RATING current-meters.

Each meter is rated before being used, in order to determine the relation between the
revolutions of the wheel and the velocity of the water. The meter is driven at a uniform rate
of speed through still water for a given distance, and the number of revolutions of the wheel
and the time are recorded. From this data the number of revolutions per second and the
corresponding velocity per second are computed. Tests are made for speeds varying from the
slowest which will cause the wheel to revolve to several feet per second. The results of these

INTRODUCTION 31

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

runs, when plotted with revolutions per second as abscissae, and velocity in feet per second
as ordinates, locate points that define the meter rating-curve, which for all meters is practically
a straight line. From this curve a meter rating table is prepared. Theoretically, the rating
for all meters of the same make and type should be the same, but as the result of slight varia-
tions in construction and in the bearing of the wheel on the axis at different velocities, the
ratings differ.

After a meter has been in use for some time the cups may have received small injuries,
or the bearing of the wheel on the axis may have changed owing to unavoidable rough usage.
These changes will affect the running of the meter and change its rating. As a consequence,
each meter is re-rated at regular intervals and a new rating curve and table prepared.

Descriptions of the rating station, discussions of the methods employed, and the results of
ratings, are given in the Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements for the years 1911 and
1912.

PEACE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Peace River is the largest and longest tributary of the McKenzie River. It is formed by
the confluence of the Finlay and Parsnip Rivers, both of which rise in and drain a large district
lying along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in Northern British Columbia.

From its head the Peace flows in a general easterly direction, through a large plateau,
some 300 miles to the mouth of the Smoky River, its largest and most important tributary.
Between these two pointg there are a few small streams entering the Peace, the most notable
being the Pine River, which rises in the hills in British Columbia near the Alberta line.

From the mouth of the Smoky, the river flows north for about 250 miles, nearly to Fort
Vermilion, then pursues a northeasterly course for about 200 miles where it is joined by the
overflow from Lake Athabaska, forming the Great Slave River. The territory drained by tjiis
portion of the Peace is bounded on the north by tjie Laird River and on the south and east by
the Fra^er and Athabaska Rivers.

Of several streams discharging their waters into the Peace between the mouth of the Smoky
and Lake Athabaska there are only two that drain a very large area. These are the Wakiskaw
and Red Rivers, both of which rise on the height of land west of the Athabaska and drain a
large low country lying between the Peace and Athabaska Rivers, and north of the Lesser Slave
Lake.

Aside from these two rivers and the Smoky, which receives a small portion of its supply
from a thinly wooded and prairie country, the Peace has no important tributaries which cannot
be considered as mountain streams. Therefore the stage of the water is governed to a large
extent by storage of winter precipitation in the mountains, and floods in the early spring are
not usual. However, in July and August, high temperatures and warm rains in the mountains
cause the snow-covered portion of the drainage basin to discharge large quantities of water
and it is at this time that the greatest floods occur.

In 1915 there were no excessive floods on the Peace River, the maximum stage was reached
on the 14th of July and was caused by warm rains in the mountains, the effect of which was more
noticeable on the Smoky than on the Peace River (re floods, see also Appendix No. 4).

As yet very little hydrometric work has been done in this district, largely due to the
unsettled conditions of the country and the slow methods of transportation. However, the
Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia railroad, now under construction, will cut the
northern end of the drainage basin, and as the country comprising this portion of the district
is being rapidly settled, it is probable that more extensive work will be carried on in the near
future.

In 1915, two regular gauging stations were established on the Peace, one on the Smoky,
and one on the North Heart River. Miscellaneous discharge measurements were made on the
Little Smoky River and on all the larger tributaries between Peace River Crossing and Fort
Vermilion.

ATHABA.SKA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

Athabaska River rises on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and flows in a north-
easterly direction for about one thousand miles, eventually emptying into Lake Athabaska.

The Athabaska basin forms tlie most southerly portion of the great MacKenzie system
and the portion dealt with in this report comprises only the headwaters.

Rising in country very similar to the watershed of the other streams of importance in
Alberta, it flows out of the mountains and then through foothill country. Fronj the foothills
to the lake the basin consists of stretches of muskeg and uplands, well timbered with spruce
and pine.

The general character of the basin is such that the winter precipitation or snowcover is
con.served to a great extent and floods in the early spring are not usual, liuwover, in Jime.
July and August rains and warm winds cause the upper parts of the system to discharge large
quantities of the snow water from the higher peaks and glaciers, and when rains of any magnitude
occur the invariable result is a Hood. The nuiskeg country is a great source of storage, but
when its capacity is reached, it accelerates rather than retards tlie run-off.

The mam transcontinental lines of the Cirand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern
railway cross the ujiper portion of this drainage basin, ami tnuisportation is now a much easier
|)roi)lcm than in the past.

Many valuable deixmits of coal, limestone and other minerals are fouml in this biUiin. and,
on account of these as well as the iiuuiy power jxKssibilities and stretches of timber :uui pul|>-
wood, it is exjiected that this country will develop very imich during the next few years

A very full description of this drainage i)asin was published as an appendix to the 1913
report.

A special report upon the Moods ii\ this draimigi' basin is given in .\ppendix No. 4 of thiit
re|)ort.

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

71

V NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The North Saskatchewan River draws its principal water supply from the eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains. The basin is bounded on the south by those of the Red Deer and
South Saskatchewan Rivers and on the north by those of the Athabaska and Churchill Rivers.
The general trend of the stream from its source to where it joins the South Saskatchewan, a
few miles below the city of Prince Albert, and forms the Saskatchewan River, is easterly.

The basin of the river easily divides itself into five parts or divisions, each of which requires
a separate description for a clear understanding of the conditions of run-off.

The first, or upper section, consists of the eastern slope of the Rockj' Mountains. While
this part of the basin is not the greatest in area, it supplies the greater part of the run-off. In
glaciers and the perpetual snows of the higher peaks innumerable small streams rise which
form the main stream and its larger tributaries. These streams have well defined rocky valleys
and considerable fall. The upper regions of this section are not well wooded, and allow a rapid
run-off of melting snow and rain.

East of this first section is a division consisting of the foothills, which are, for the most
part, well covered with forest and vegetable growth, forming probablj' the largest in area
of the five sections. Here also is a very large source of supply for the stream, but due to its
cover, a more regulated supply than in the first section. In this section the main stream is
joined by the Clearwater and Brazeau Rivers, two of the most important tributaries of the
whole basin. The streams in this section flow through deep valleys with fairly permanent
beds and medium slopes.

From a little west of the city of Edmonton to the mouth of the Vermilion River the country
is of a parklike nature with large stretches of prairie. This section is small in area and has
not a verj' large rim-ofif. The principal tributaries are the Sturgeon and \'ermilion Rivers,
the first of which drains in from the wooded country' of the north, the latter from the prairie
section of the south. The main stream is in a well defined valley with large flats along its
course and a more or less permanent bed with a small slope.

Below the third section to a little above the city of Prince Albert is a division which has
little drainage into the river. It consists of prairie uplands for the most part, with small
patches of timber to the north. The stream widens out into shallow reaches, full of shifting
sand bars, and has very little slope. The valley, while still well defined, is also much wider.
In this section the main stream is fed bj- the Battle River, which has its source at the outlet
of Battle Lake, and flows eastward through park land and prairie sections south of the main
river, until it empties into the latter at the town of Battleford.

The east division is one in which the river with a greater slope and more permanent bed,
narrows considerably, as does also the vallej'. The rim-off in this division is mostly from the
north, which consists of well wooded country drained by a niunbor of small streams.

Reports of floods in this basin may befoiuid on pages 30 and 31 of the Report of the Progress
of Stream Measurements for 1912, and Appendix No. 4 of this report.

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RI\T:R NEAR ROCKY MOUNT-UN HOUSE.

Location.— On the NE. \ Sec. 21, Tp. 39, Rge. 7, W. 5th Mer., 2,000 feet below the railway
bridge and one mile west of Rocky Mountain House.

Records available. — From June 2, 1913, to December 31, 1915.

Gauge. — Inclined staff graduated to feet and tenths. From June 2, 1913, to June 27, 1915,
located 1,200 feet above the cable on the left bank. Zero elevation maintained at 3,108.39
feet from June 2, 1913, to October 23, 1913. Zero elevation maintained at 3,108.42 feet from
October 23, 1913, to June 27, 1915. After June 28, 1915, the gauge was located 20 feet below
the cable, on the left bank and has been maintained at a zero elevation of 3,108.47 feet.

Bench-marks. — On nails in a spruce tree, on the north side of the road allowance, on the left
bank of the river and 50 feet from the edge of the bank; elevation 3,126.93 feet. (Department
of Public Works of Canada datum.) On October 8, 1915, a permanent iron bench-mark was
set on the left bank 3 feet above the cable tower. Elevation, 3, 125. 96 feet. (Department of Public
Works of Canada datum.)

Channel. — One channel at all stages.

Discharge measurements. — Made from a cable car.

Winter flow. — Stream affected by ice from November to April and measurements made 1,400
feet above the cable section.

Floods. — In the latter part of June, 1915, this stream was in violent flood and rose 14 feet
in about 36 hours. At a gauge height of 14.0 feet the right bank overflowed and at a gauge
height of 18.0 feet the left bank overflowed. Considerable damage was done to low lying
farm lands along the river. A maximum gauge height of 23.38 feet was reached on June 27.
During this flood the gauge and cables were swept away. A new gauge was put in at once but
owing to the high water stage, existing all summer, the new cable was not put in place until
early in September, which accounts for the fact that there were no gaugings taken between
June 11 and September 8, 1915.

Observer. — Wm. Austin.

HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT EDMONTON.

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

Location.— On river lot No. 17, NW. \ Sec. 33, Tp. 52, Rge. 24, W. 4th Mer., at the low
level traffic and railway bridge in the city of Edmonton.

Records available. — Maj' 1, 1911, to December 31, 1915.

Gauges. — Two vertical staff gauges at this station, a low level gauge reading from 0 to
10 feet and a high level gauge reading from 10 to 34 feet. The high level gauge is spiked to a
timber pier a short distance above the mill of the Edmonton Lumber Company, the low level
gauge being attached to a pier about 75 feet above the other and 200 feet from the right bank
of the river. Zero elevation of low level gauge maintained at 1,991.73 feet during 1911.
Zero elevation of low level gauge maintained at 1,991.09 feet during 1912 and up to June 28,
1915. Zero elevation of high level gauge riiaintained at 1,995.67 feet during 1911-1912. Zero
elevation of high level gauge maintained at 1,991.09 feet during 1913 and up to June 28, 1915.
On June 28, 1915, both gauges were swept away by the flood and a temporary gauge
was used until July 16 when a chain gauge was installed on the downstream side of the bridge
between the third and fourth piers. The zero elevation of the chain gauge has since been
maintained at 1,991.09 feet. On November 6 a staff gauge for winter use was fastened to the
pier to which the old gauges were attached. This gauge is also at a zero elevation of 1,991 .09
feet.

Bench-mark. — Permanent iron bench-mark on the right bank, close to the Edmonton Lumber
Company's fence and 10 feet below the right hand abutment of the bridge. Elevation, 2,037.33
feet. (Department of Public Works of Canada datum.)

Channel. — One, slightly shifting at all stages. »

Discharge measurements. — Made from a bridge.

Floods. — Up to 1915 the largest flood upon record took place in August, 1899, followed by
another one, not quite so large in 1900. On both occasions considerable damage was done
but no actual figures are available. On June 28, 1915, the water rose to a gauge height of 45.04
feet, which, as near as can be found, is some four feet higher than the high water mark of 1899.
At a gauge height of about 35 feet the river overflowed the flats along the bank. Probably
2,000 people were rendered homeless and the loss to property is estimated at about $750,000.
The damage done to sidewalks, roads, and other city property is given at about $17,500.00.

o The drainage area given in this table is only approximate. It must be remembered that the greater part of the
run-off at this station is derived from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and must not be used to base estimates
of run-off on other streams in the vicinity of Battleford.

No discharge estimates are made for dates between May 10, 1915 and December 1, 1915, owing to rapidly shifting
conditions in the channels, and to the fact that measurements were not secured frequently enough to follow changes
which it is believed occurred owing to unusually high stages.

PIGEON CREEK NEAR WESTEROSE.

Location.— On the SE. \ Sec. 15, Tp. 46, Rge. 28, W. 4th Mer., at the traffic bridge near
outlet of Pigeon Lake and on the trail from Wetaskiwin to Westerose post office.

Records available. — Discharge measurements only made during 1912, 1913 and 1914. Gauge
readings every three days March 24, 1915, to October 31, 1915, and records computed for that
period.

Gauge. — Vertical staff spiked to a post in creek on downstream side of bridge. Zero
elevation maintained at 93.36 feet.

Bench-mark.— On a spike in a pile at the SW. corner of the bridge; assumed elevation
100.00 feet. Permanent iron bench-mark at SW. corner of bridge. Elevation, 100.23 feet.

Channel. — Permanent, sand and gravel.

Discharge measurements. — Made by wading near the bridge.

Winter flow. — The creek is partly open all winter and measurements are made by wading.

Artificial control. — Dam at outlet of lake fitted with two gates and a fishway. Owing to
logs lodging in the creek below the dam, the control was changed in July.

Observer. — L. J. Wood, appointed March 24, and took readings at intervals of two or three
days. All intermediate gauge heights were interpolated from the observed readings. Gauge
readings were discontinued on October 31, 1915.

than was reached in August,1899. Estimates of maximum discharge are supported by evidence
from various sources, each sustaining the estimate to a probable accuracy within 5 per cent.

Minimum flow. — January 19, 1914, a flow of 850 sec-feet was recorded.

RED DEER RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The Red Deer River rises in the Sawback Range of the Rockies in the northern portion
of the Rock}' Mountain Park, near the boundary between the provinces of Alberta and British
Columbia. It flows eastward for about fort}' miles, then northeastward for seventy or eighty
miles to a point near Red Deer, Alberta. From here the river flows in a southeasterly and
easterly direction to its junction with the South Saskatchewan River, just east of the 4th Mer.,
in Tp. 22, Rge. 28, W. 3rd Mer. It has a length of approximately 400 miles.

The valley of the Red Deer is wide and deep, the banks being rough and cut up with a
large number of deep coulees, draining into the river. Near the source the basin is well
timbered, and a good growth of timber is found aJong its banks for some distance out into the
prairie. Seams of coal, well suited for domestic use, are found in the valley and form the
principal source of fuel supply' for the settlers along the stream in the prairie section.

The river carries a considerable supply of water at all times of the year, but the volume
is subject to sudden variations, due to the melting of snow in the mountains and heav}' summer
rains.

Of the tributaries of the Red Deer, the most important are, the Panther River near its
head. Little Red Deer and Medicine Rivers, entering in Tp. 36, Rge. 1, W. oth Mer., and Rosebud
River emptying into it in Tp. 28, Rge. 19, W. 4th Mer. In addition, there are numerous small
streams draining into the main fiver in the western portion of the basin. From the mouth
of the Rosebud River eastward there is very little drainage into the river.

\'ery little water is taken from the Red Deer and its branches for irrigation purposes.
There are only a few small schemes on some of the smaller tributaries. The land along the
valley, though lacking moisture, is extremely fertile, and with the help of irrigation much of
it might be cultivated and fine crops produced. The irrigation of the bench land from the
river would be difficult on account of the small fall in the river, the depth of the valley, and
the rolling nature of the lands in the drainage basin.

Very little hydrometric work has been done in this b^isin as yet. A gauging station was
established on the Red Deer River near Innisfail, in 1910, but an observer could not be secured
and only periodic discharge measurements have been secured at this station. In December
1911, another gauging station was established at the town of Red Deer, and continuous records
have been obtained since then.

Of the tributaries of Red Deer River, Berry and Blood Indian Creeks are the only ones
that have been given any attention. These small creeks, which drain into the river in the
prairie section, have a few small irrigation rights registered against them. Gauging stations
were established on them in 1911, but owing to the high cost of obtaining data they were
abandoned in 1913.

A special report upon the floods in this drainage basin is given in Appendix No. 4 of this
report.

RED DEER RIVER .\T RED DEER.

Location.— On the SE. \ Sec. 20, Tp. 38, Rge. 27, W. 4th Mer., at the steel traffic bridge
in the town of Red Deer.

Records available. — January 1, 1912, to December 31, 1915.

Gauge. — ^Chain. Length of chain from bottom of weight to marker is 29.52 feet. Zero
elevation of gauge maintained at 84.40 feet since establishment.

Bench-mark. — Marked with white paint on northwest face of north abutment. Assumed
elevation, 100 00 feet.

Channel. — Slightly shifting.

Discharge measurements. — Made from bridge.

Winter flow. — From November to April river is frozen over and measurements are made
at a point about one-half mile below the bridge.

Floods. — This stream was in flood Jime 26 to July 22, reaching a maximum gauge height
of 19 05 feet at 9 20 p.m. on June 27. Maximum dibcharge, 68,000 sec. -feet. On July 18, it
again rose to a gauge height of 15.83.

SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN 129

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

The upper portion of this drainage basin will be dealt with in the descriptions of the drainage
basins of Bow, Little Bow, Oldman, Waterton, Belly and St. Mary Rivers. These streams are
all conjoined at a point known as the Grand Forks, to form the South Saskatchewan River.
From the Grand Forks the river flows in a north and easterly direction to its junction with
the North Saskatchewan River a short distance east of the city of Prince Albert. From this
point onward the stream takes the name of Saskatchewan River.

.After the confluence of the Bow and Oldman Rivers the stream receives comparatively
little drainage, the principal tributaries being the Red Deer River, draining that portion of
the basin between the North and the South Saskatchewan River, and Sevenpersons River
and Swiftcurrent Creek emptying into the main stream from the south. Descriptions of the
drainage basins of all these streams are given elsewhere in this report.

The drainage basin of this stream is quite similar to that of all such streams which have
their source in the mountains and flow across the prairies. The upper portion of the basin
has considerable fall, with rock and gravel formation and a good growth of timber. In contrast
to this the prairie section of the basin is sparsely wooded, except along the banks of the stream,
and the rock formation changes to earth; also the stream is more apt to change its channel,
especially in times of flood. The high water occurs in the hot months of summer and is caused
by the melting of the snow fields in the mountains. The low water occurs in the winter months
when there is no melting snow to augment the stream flow. Unusually high water and floods
follow rains of more than usual intensify in the upper section of the river. The South Saskat-
chewan River is much less liable to destructive floods than is the North Saskatchewan River.

In addition to the gauging stations on the tributaries, which are taken up in detail elsewhere
in this report, there are two stations on the main streams. These stations are located at the
cities of Medicine Hat and Saskatoon.

Up to the present the chief value of this stream has been as a source of municipal water
supply. There are no irrigation schemes or water power developments on the main stream.

The cities of Medicine Hat and Saskatoon derive their water supply from this stream.
The South Saskatchewan is also being considered as a possible source of supply for the cities
of Moosejaw and Rcgina. In this connection surveys were carried out during 1913 by this
department and also bj' the Provincial Government.

A special report upon the floods in this drainage basin is given in Appendix No. 4 of this
report.

134 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

BOW RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Bow River rises in Lakes Bow and Hector, which are situated in the Rocky Mountains
Park, north of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway and just east of the Great Divide,
and whose elevations are 6,420 and 5,694 feet, respectively, above mean sea level. The river
flows in a south and easterly direction to the city of Calgary, where it takes a big bend to the
south, and then continues in a south and easterly direction to its junction with the Belly River
at the Grand Forks. Below this point the united stream is known as the South Saskatchewan
River.

Bow River has a large number of tributaries in the western portion of its course. Of these
the principal are Cascade and Ghost Rivers draining the northern slopes of the basin, and the
Spray, Kananaskis, Elbow, Sheep and Highwood Rivers draining the southern slopes. Below
the mouth of Highwood River, very little drainage reaches Bow River. Crowfoot Creek being
the largest tributary, and so it appears that most of the water supply is derived from the rim-off
from mountains and foot-hills. As a result, Bow River possesses a normally steady flow
throughout the year, but it is subject to sudden freshets caused by melting snow and heavy
rains in the mountains. The minimum flow occurs in the frozen season, when there is little
run-off from the snowfields in the western part of the drainage basin.

The valley of the Bow is deep and well defined throughout its course. In the mountain
section it is comparatively narrow and is very heavily timbered, while its bed is stony and its
banks high and rocky. The nature of the valley gradually changes as it approaches the prairies
when it widens out, becomes of a clay formation and is devoid of trees, the actual bed consisting
for the most part of gravel. The water is clean and pure. A large quantity of water is diverted
from the Bow River for irrigation purposes. The two chief users are the Department of Natural
Resources, Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and the Southern Alberta Land Company.

The Department of Natural Resources diverts water at two points, one just east of the
city of Calgary and the other three miles southwest of Bassano. The first system has been
in operation for several years and distributes water over the Western Section of the Company's
Irrigation block, which extends east as far as Cluny. The works at Bassano comprise a very
large earth-filled dam and concrete spillway, which were completed in 1913. This system is
to serve the Eastern Section of the Company's Irrigation block, which extends east from
Bassano. In all, it is proposed to irrigate about 625,000 acres of land.

The Southern Alberta Land Company has a dam and reservoir near Namaka. These
works were practically completed in 1913. It is proposed to irrigate by this system about
200,000 acres.

There are many favourable sites for power development on the Bow River, but only one
company has, up to the present, developed power. The Calgary Power Company has two
plants; one is at Kananaskis Falls, at the confluence of the Kananaskis and Bow Rivers, near
Seebe station; the other at Horseshoe Falls, two miles below. The latter plant has been in
operation for some years and has a capacity of 19,500 horse power. The dam at Kananaskis
Falls was completed in 1913 and this plant has a rated capacity of 11,600 horse power. Nearly
all the power developed is used by the city of Calgary.

The city of Calgary obtains its domestic water supply from the Elbow River. The intake
is about twelve miles southwest of Calgary, above which poiilt the course of the river is
through a wild and unsettled country, where there is no possibility of human contamination.

The town of Bassano obtains its domestic water supply from the Bow River at the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company's dam three miles southwest of the townsite.

A special report upon the floods in this drainage basin is given in Appendix No. 4 of this
report.

HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

CASCADE RIVER AT BANKHEAD.

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

Location.— On the SE. J Sec. 19, Tp. 26, Rge. 11, W. 5th Mer., at the Bankhead mines.

Records available. — Aug. 16, 1911, to December 31, 1915.

Gauge. — Vertical staff. Elevation of zero maintained at 93.49 feet since establishment.

Bench-mark. — Permanent iron bench-mark on right bank. Assumed elevation, 100 . 00 feet.

Channel. — Fairly permanent, shifted during floods in June, 1915.

Discharge measurements. — Made from foot bridge to time of flood, since then, by wading
owing to bridge being destroyed.

Artificial control. — This station is two and one-half miles below the reservoir of the Calgary
Power Company at Lake Minnewanka near Bankhead mines water supply and the flow of the
stream is controlled by the gates.

Floods. — Maximum gauge height June 26, 4.02 feet and Jime 28, 4.66 feet. Flood was
on June 26, but owing to control at Lake Mumewanka being overlooked, the highest water
was on June 28, when serveral stop logs at the control had to be blasted out with dynamite.
This caused a rush of water in Cascade river and enlarged the stream bed in many places,
including the gauging section. In some places the stream overflowed the banks.

Observer. — J. B. Mackinlay, Jan. 1 to July 31; W. E. Cowan, Aug. 31 to December 31.

LITTLE BOW RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

205

LITTLE BOW RIVER DRAINAGE BASIX.
General Description.

The source of Little Bow River is a spring in the town of High River in Sec. 6, Tp. 19,
Rge. 28, W. of the 4th Mer. From here it flows in a southeasterly direction for one hundred
miles and empties into the Oldman River. In the first few miles, the natural flow is dependent
entirely on a number of small springs and coulees which are dry most of the year, but later is
augmented by the flow from Mosquito Creek, which drains the south and westerly part of the
drainage basin.

There is a comparatively large flow in this stream during the spring freshets, but during
summer it would, under natural conditions, dry up. There are a large number of ranchers and
settlers on this stream and it is very important that there should be a good flow for domestic
and stock watering purposes. For this reason, the Provincial Government has constructed a
canal and diverts water from Highwood River into Little Bow River whenever required.

210 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

OLDMAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The Oldman River is the largest of the two streams which on their junction form the South
Saskatchewan River.

The main river is formed between the Rocky Mountains and Livingstone Range by the
jimction of Livingstone River, Northwest Branch, West Branch and Racehorse Creek. It
first flows southeasterly until joined by the Crowsnest and Castle Rivers and then flows in a
general eastern direction to its jimction with the Bow River. There are a number of small
tributaries joining the main stream and two large ones, the Belly River and the St. Mary
River. These two streams empty into the river between Macleod and Lethbridge, and full
descriptions of their basins are given elsewhere in this report.

The territory drained by this stream consists of mountains, foothills and prairie. The
moimtain region is quite extensive and is divided into the main range and the Livingstone
Range of the Rocky Moimtains. There is a good forest cover on many parts of the mountains
and foothills, but much of the Livingstone Range and some parts of the Rockies are precipitous
and bare of tree growth. On the higher peaks a considerable amount of snow collects and thus
the streams are subject to high water caused by melting snows during the heat of the summer
and in the early spring.

Floods of exceptional magnitude only occur after exceptionally heavy rains.

The precipitation throughout this basin varies greatly. It is heaviest in the mountains
and decreases rapidly towards the eastern edge of the basin where it is rather small. There
are no irrigation projects of any size on the main river, although extensive surveys have been
carried on with the object of irrigating a large area lying between the main river and the
Little Bow River, the water to be diverted west of Macleod. On the smaller tributaries a
number of irrigation schemes are now in opera^tion.

A special report upon the floods in this drainage basin is given in Appendix No. 4 of this
report.

SUMMIT CREEK AT CROWSNEST.

Location. — On the SE. \ Sec. 12, Tp. 8, Rge. 6, W. 5th Mer., about 1,000 feet upstream from

Records available. — Discbarge measurements only are available from February 21, 1912,
to October 16, 1915.

Gauge. — Vertical staff, nailed to a tree on the right bank.

Bench-mark. — Is a spruce stump on the right bank about 30 feet downstream from the
gauge. The elevation is 5.94 fe^t above the zero of the gauge.

Channel. — Fairly permanent with a bed of fine gravel.

Discharge measurements. — Are made by wading in high water and by means of a 24-inch
weir in low stages.

Winter flow. — Discharge measurements are continued throughout the winter.

Observer. — No gauge height records are obtained at this station.

WATERTON RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

Waterton River rises in the northwestern portion of the state of Montana, on the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains. It flows in a northerly direction and, passing through a chain
of lakes near the international boundary, known as Waterton Lakes, it continues in a north
and easterly direction and finally empties into Belly River near Stand OfT. Alberta.

The topography of the basin is of a varied character, ranging from the mountainous regions
of Montana to the rolling prairie of southern Alberta. The tributaries are mostly in the upper
portion of the basin, near the international boundary and from the west side.

There is a large snow-fall in the U{)per portion of the basin, and the melting of this combined
with heavy rains often causes fioods on this river in the early summer. Thereafter the river
steadily decreases in volume, until the minimum is reached about mid-winter.

The names of the principal tributaries of this stream are, the Little Kootenay, which
rises in Montana and empties into the south end of the Waterton Lakes; Boimdary Creek, and
East Boundary Creek, two small streams emptying into the upper Waterton Lake from the
west and cast slopes, are south of the international boundary; Hell Roaring Creek is a small
stream in Canada, flowing into the upper Waterton Lake from the east slope; Bertiia Creek
is a small tributary mostly snow fed, from the west slope of the u|)per lake, and originating
solely in ('aiiada; ('anieron, or Oil Creek, as it is called locally, has its head in Cameron Lake,
a body of water divitled by the international boundary; Blakiston Brook, a stream locally
called Pass Creek, rises wholly in Canada, and is a steady source of supply tti the waters of the
Waterton RIvct; Crooked Creek drains the northeast slope of Sheep Mountain and the nearby
foothills and empties into Waterton River one mile below the lakes; Pine Creek, Yarrow Creek
and Drywood River are the chief tributaries of the river system from foothills on the west
slope.

HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

Remarks. — With a view to obtaining more accurate measurements the cable was moved
from the NE. \ Sec. 8, Tp. 2, Rge. 29, W. 4th Mer., to SW. \ Sec. 21, Tp. 2, Rge. 29, W. 4th
Mer., in November, 1914. The chaimel at this point is straight for about 300 feet above and
300 feet below the cable. The bed of the stream consists of small stones and gravel and is
not liable to shift.

During 1915, the high cut-bank, at the cable station, kept continually slipping and may
weaken the anchorage.

260 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

BELLY RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Belly River rises near Chief Mountain in northern Montana. The main stream is aug-
mented on the United States side of the boundary line by Middle Fork and on the Canadian
side by North Fork. From the junction with North Fork in Sec. 21, Tp. 1, Rge. 28, W. of the
4th Mer., the river flows in a winding northeasterly course until it joins the Oldman River
in Sec. 27, Tp. 9, Rge. 23, W. of the 4th Mer. From this point the stream is now known as the
Oldman River although it was formerly called the Belly River until it is joined by the Bow
River and forms the South Saskatchewan River.

The topography of the basin is of the most varied character, ranging from the moimtainous
regions of ^lontana and the rolling prairie and foothills at the boundary to the level prairie.
The upper tributaries drain a forested region; the main stream flows through a deep valley
with many clumps of poplar on its banks.

There is an abimdant snowfall in the upper portion of the basin, but the precipitation
diminishes into semi-arid conditions near the junction with the Oldman River. At first Belly
River is a comparatively clear stream, but soon after crossing the boundary line it gradually
becomes turbid, especially at the times of high water. The greater portion of the sediment
is caused by the washing away of banks and cutting of new channels. Freshets caused by
melting snow and heavy rains are frequent in the summer. The maximum flow usually occurs in
June or July and after that the flow gradually decreases until it reaches the minimum in
January or February.

As yet ve'-j'^ little use has been made of the water in this basin. In the upper regions,
where -water could easily be diverted, it is not required for irrigation purposes and farther
downstream it would be an expensive imdertaking. There are. however, some small private
irrigation schemes diverting water from tributaries of the river.

The Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company has located and may construct a canal
from Belly River to supply their irrigation system, if St. Mary River is found deficient. A
survey and an estimate of the cost of this proposed canal were made by the Government during
1912, and a copy of the report of this survey may be seen in the report of the Commissioner of
Irrigation for 1912. There are also feasible power sites in the upper regions which will no
doubt be developed when there is a market.

ST. MARY RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

St. Mary River, an important tributary of the Oldman River and thus indirectly of the
South Saskatchewan River, heads in northern Montana on the eastern slope of the main range
of the Rocky Mountains. It starts from the great Blackfoot glacier and receives affluents
from numerous lesser glaciers. These streams unite within a short distance from their. source
and flow into Upper St. Mary Lake. Below this lake and in close proximity, is Lower St.
Mary Lake, the aggregate lengths of the two being about 22 miles. The river flows out of the
lower lake, at an elevation of 4,460 feet above mean sea level, and takes a northerly course
through the foothills to the international boundary. From the boundary it flows in a north
and easterly direction through a rolling country, finally emptying into the Oldman River
near Lethbridge, Alta.

The basin is bounded on the south by the Rocky Moimtains, on the west by the watershed
between Belly and St. Mary Rivers and on the east by the watershed between Milk and St.
Mary Rivers. The upper portion of the basin is heavily timbered and receives a large
precipitation mostly in the shape of snowfall; the lower and major portion is totally devoid
of tree growth and has a small precipitation.

The river flows through a very deep valley having steep banks making the diversion of
water from this stream for irrigation an expensive undertaking. In Canada the Alberta Railway
and Irrigation Company has water rights on this river. The headgates of their canal are
at Kimball, five miles north of the bomidary, and they already have many miles of ditch
constructed, which irrigates land surrounding Lethbridge.

As this is an international river, discharge measurements are taken on it by both the
Canadian and American governments. The engineers of both countries use a common gauging
station near Kimball.

274 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916
ALBERTA RAILWAY AND IRRIGATION COMPANY'S CANAL AT KIMB.VLL.

Location. — On the SE. \ Sec. 36, Tp. 1, Rge. 25, W. 4th Mer., at a concrete measuring section
500 feet below the control gates at the intake of the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Companj^'s
canal.

Records available. — From April 27, 1915, to October 9, 1915.

Gauge. — Inclined staff, set in concrete slopes of 1^ to 1. Graduations on staff developed
for slopes of 1^ to 1.

Channel. — Above and below section, stream bed is composed of loose gravel and boulders.
At section bed is composed of mLxed gravel, levelled and tamped. Stream bed not liable to
shift as velocities are not excessive.

Discharge measurements. — Made from foot bridge having a trussed-span of 44 feet, with
one hand-rail.

Artificial control. — The discharge is controlled by headgates 500 feet above the measuring
section.

Observer. — W. D. Willgrass.

Remarks. — This station serves to register the amovrnt of water diverted from the St. Mary
River at Kimball for the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company's purposes. In wet seasons
there is more water registered at the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company's flume, six miles
below the headgates, owing to ground water flowing into the canal, but in dry seasons the
diversion from the St. Marj* River is the sole source of supply.

.MILK RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

Milk River rises on the eastern slope of the foothills on the Blackfoot Indian Reserve in
the United States. Its headwaters run down in two main streams, which are known, after
entering Canada, as the north and south branches.

The north branch flows in a northeasterly direction through the Blackfoot Reserve for a
distance of about fifteen miles, and then enters Canada near the quarter-mound on the south
side of Section 3, Township 1, Range 23, West of the 4th Meridian. From the international
bomidary the north branch contmues in a northeasterly direction for about nine miles, when it
bends to the east and runs in an easterly direction through the second tier of to\vnship to its
junction with the south branch at the centre of Section 20, Township 2, Range 18, West of the
4th Meridian.

The south branch runs to the south and east of, and parallels the north branch for a distance
of about forty-eight miles, as the crow flies, through the Blackfoot Reserve, and then enters
Canada near the quarter-mound on the south side of Section 1, Township 1, Range 20, West
of the 4th Meridian. From the international boundary it flows in a northeasterly direction
to its junction with the north branch.

From the confluence of the two branches. Milk River flows in an easterly direction through
the second tier of townships in Canada to the cast boundary of Range seven. From this point
the river flows in a southeasterly direction to its first point of crossing the international
boundary into the United States. This first point of crossing is near the quarter-moimd on
the south side of Section 3, Tovraship 1, Range 5, West of the 4th Meridian. From this point
the river meanders in an easterly direction through Canada and the United States, to a point
on the international boundary about 900 feet west of the east boundary of Section 1, Township
1, Range 5, West of the 4th Meridian, where it finally crosses into the United States. This
point is known as the " Eastern Crossing." The length of the course of the Milk River in
Canada from the western crossing of the north branch to the eastern crossing is about 180
miles. The length of the course of the south branch in Canada is fourteen miles.

Throughout its course in Canada, from the western crossing of the north branch to the
eastern crossing, Milk River flows through a well defined valley bordered on the east side
by a range of hills. The whole of its watershed in Canada is treeless prairie land, the last
forty miles of river flat being, however, well wooded. The river receives a number of small
tributary creeks along its course, all of which discharge a considerable volume of water during
the spring freshets; usually they all dry up about July 1, and have no considerable discharge
again until late in the fall, when some of them have a small flow for perhaps a month before
the freeze-up.

The general conditions of flow in the ri.ver are such as are tj^pical of all rivers which have
a watershed devoid of tree growth; that is, it is subject to extreme floods during the freshet
period, and to correspondingly low flow during the summer months.

NORTH Bn.\XCH OF MILK RIVER AT PETERS R.VNCH.

PAKOWKI LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

325

PAKOWKI LAKE DRAINAGE BASIX.
General Description.

Pakowki Lake receive.s the drainage of the western slopes of the C^iJress Hills, and a fair
amount of water from the northern slopes of the Milk River Ridge. It also receives, via
Etzikom Coulee, a certain amount of waste water from the Alberta Railway and Irrigation
Company's canals. There is no outlet to this lake, the water level being about thirty feet
lower than that of Milk River in Range 8, West of the 4th Meridian.

The streams within this drainage basin are very similar in their general characteristics,
all having narrow, deep, and well defined valleys, with a growth of willows along the bottoms.
Most of these creeks on the east side of the lake have considerable flats and meadows, covered
with native grasses and sage brush, and are to a great extent irrigated from these creeks.
During exceptionally heavy rainfall these creeks are subject to rapid rises and correspondingly
rapid falls of stage. Canal Creek and the south branch of Manyberries Creek drain a con-
siderable area of broken land, devoid of tilth, and the run-oflf from these creeks, contributed
by deep coulees where the subsoil is exposed, is comparatively large, almost all the precipitation
finding its way into the creek channels.

There are several irrigation works situated on Manyberries, Ketchum and Canal Creeks,
all the water commg down from the higher ground, except during a very large run-off, being
used in irrigating the lower flats, very little water being discharged into Pakowki Lake.

The yield of cultivated hays of different kinds, native hay and alfalfa, has been considerably
increased by the use of these waters.

ETZIKOM COULEE XE.\R STIRLIN'O.

Location. — On road allowance between SW. j Sec. 3, and SE. j Sec. 4, Tp. 7, Rge. 19. W.
4th Mer., at highway bridge, one mile north and east of Stirling.

Records available. — May 1, 1914, to Sept. 26, 1915.

Drainage area. — The run-off of this coulee was partly from its drainage area, but largely
from the overflow of the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company's irrigation ditch.

Gauge. — Vertical staff fastened to bridge pile on downstream side against north abutment.
Elevation of zero maintained at 92.83 feet, since establishment.

Bench-mark . — Permanent iron bench-mark located 25 feet east of south end of bridge.
Assumed elevation, 100.00 feet.

Channel. — Composed of clay and liable to be affected b}- the growth of weeds in bed.

Discharge yncasurements. — Owing to continuous high water in 1915 all measurements were
made by wading. At low water stage a weir could be used, and at extreme high water
measurements could be made from the traffic bridge.

Observers. — F. Adler (discontinued his observations Aug. 12, 1915). Nels H. Xolson
(commenced making observations on Aug. 13, 1915).

SAGE CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Sage Creek is a small and unimportant stream which rises in To^^'nship 5, Range 4, West
of the 4th ^Meridian, and flows southerly, crossing the international boundary in Range 2.

The stream has no definite or permanent source of supply, and derives its discharge prin-
cipally from the melting snow, which accumulates in numerous coulees during the winter
months. The period of flow, therefore, is in general confined to the spring months, while the
melting snow is passing off. Very heavy rains sometimes cause a flow, but the drainage
area being absolutely devoid of tree growth the rim-ofT is very rapid.

After entering the United States, Sage Creek spreads out over a large dry lake, which has
no- outlet. This lake is about ten miles long and averages one and one-half miles in width, and
lies close to the boimdary. The lake is bounded on the south by a low range of hills, and at
some time has held two or three feet of water at its deepest parts. Since 1908 there has been
no water in the lake.

SAGE CREEK AT WILD HORSE POLICE DETACHMENT.

Location.— On the NE. i Sec. 9, Tp. 1, Rge. 2, W. 4th Mer., near Wild Horse Police De-
tachment.

Records available. — Estimated discharge records for 1910-13, based on discharge measure-
ments made in 1915, are given herewith and supersede those published in the 1914 report.

Gauge. — Vertical staff. Zero of gauge maintained at 93.36 feet since establishment.

Bench-mark. — Permanent iron bench-mark. Assumed elevation, 100.00 feet.

Discharge measurements. — Made by wading or with a weir.

Channel. — Composed of hard clay and well grassed over. Practically permanent.

a The creek above the station has built up a channel above the flats on each side, and some of the flood flow
finds its way onto these flats. The corrected total run-off provides for this loss which has been estimated by H. R.
Carscallen, Irrigation Inspector, as 160 acre-feet, in 1911, 840 acre-feet, in 1912 and 450 acre-feet in 1913.

LODGE CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 339

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

LODGE CREEK DRAINAGE BASIX.
General Description.

Lodge Creek, which rises in Township 7, Range 3, West of the 4th Meridian, flows in a
southerly direction for about twelve miles, then turns southeastward, crosses the international
boundary at Section 4, Township 1, Range 28, West of the 3rd Meridian, and eventually empties
into Milk River at Chinook, Montana. Its principal tributary is Middle Creek, which joins
it in Section 4, Township 2, Range 29, West of the 3rd Meridian.

Near its head the valley is very deep and narrow but it broadens out considerably lower
down, giving rise to large flats and meadows. The upper part of the drainage basin is cut up
to a great extent by deep coulees which drain into the creek. This part of the creek is thickly
covered with brush along the banks, but lower down it is totally devoid of tree growth. The
valley is rather unproductive owing to the absence of moisture but a few good hay meadows
have been developed along its course through the storage of the flood waters and their applica-
tion to the soil by irrigation. As is the case with many of the streams in this locality the flow
in Lodge Creek is not continuous throughout the year, the creek being dry. with the exception
of pools of standing water, during the greater part of the summer months. At flood stages the
creek carries a considerable amount of water and as a result its channel is wide and well defined
throughout the whole length of its course.

The station at Willow Creek Police Detachment was the only station on the main stream
maintained for the full season of 1915.

The station at Hester's ranch was discontinued at the beginning of the season, and the
station at Hartt's ranch was discontinued on June 8, 1915. Descriptions of these stations and
others maintained in the Lodge Creek drainage area are given below.

BATTLE CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Battle Creek rises in Towiiship 8, Range 2, West of the 4th Meridian, and flows in an
easterly direction for about eight miles, where it crosses the 4th Meridian, then turns in a
southeasterly direction and crosses the international boundary at Section 3, Township 1,
Range 26, West of the 3rd Meridian, eventually emptying into Milk River near Chinook,
Montjina.

As is characteristic of the streams in this locality, the valley is narrow and deep near
the source and gradually broadens out into large flats and meadows. These large flats are
first noticed in the vicinity of Battle Creek Post Office. Near the head of the stream the valley
is well wooded with medium sized timber, but this diminishes to a growth of willow brush
along the banks and finally disappears altogether.

The chief tributaries of Battle Creek are Tenmile Creek, joining it in Section 4, Township 6,
Range 29, West of the 3rd Meridian, ajid Sixmile Coulee, joining it in Section 21, Township 6,
Range 29, West of the 3rd Meridian. Stations have been established on both of these streams.

There are three stations on Battle Creek at the following places: Nash's ranch, Wilkes'
ranch, and Tenmile Police Detachment.

Although it will be several years before it reaches its fullest development, the irrigation
of the flats along the creeks is increasing every year. This, it is expected, will result in a more
uniform flow in the creek, as a certain amoimt of the water diverted by the irrigation ditches
will be returned to the creek through seepage.

WOOD and ANDERSON DITCH NEAR COULEE.

Location.— On the NE. \ Sec. 21, Tp. 7, Rge. 29, W. 3rd Mer., about 150 feet west of ranch
house.

Records available. — For the irrigation season of 1915.

Gauge. — Vertical stafT driven into the bed of the ditch near the right bank. Zero elevation
maintained at 96.80 feet, since establishment.

Bench-mark. — Top of wooden stake located opposite the gauge rod on the left bank.
Assumed elevation, 100.00 feet.

Artificial control. — A permanent twenty-four inch sharp crested rectangular weir controls
the flow at this station, located ten feet below the gauge. Elevation of crest maintained at
98.80 feet.

Discharge measurements. — Made with weir.

Observer. — M. D. Wood.

FRENCHMAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Frenchman River drains the greater portion of southwestern Saskatchewan. It rises in
Cypress Lake in Township 6, Range 26, West of the 3rd Meridian and follows a southeasterly
course for some 150 miles, crossing into the United States in Range 10, West of 3rd Meridian.
It eventually finds its way into Mlk River near Saco, Montana, and therefore forms a part
of the general drainage basin of the Missouri.

Cypress Lake is on the southern slope of Cj-press Hills at an elevation of about 3155 feet
above sea level. It occupies what is probably a portion of an abandoned water course or channel
of an ancient river, which joined Battle Creek to the Frenchman River. The water of the
lake is fresh and is supplied by a number of coulees and small streams which head in the hills
to the north. The largest of these are Oxarart and Sucker creeks, both of which have a small
continuous flow.

During dry j-ears Cjqpress Lake does not overflow and the whole discharge of the Frenchman
River is derived from Belanger, Davis and Fairwell Creeks and the north branch. From
Township 6, Range 23, West of the 3rd Meridian, where the north branch joins the mainstream,
there is no appreciable supply to the river while in Canada. Mule Creek which joins the river
in ToMTiship 5, Range 17, West of 3rd Meridian, and Snake Creek in Town^ip 3, Range 13,
West of 3rd Meridian, however, have a small flow.

The country surrounding Cypress Lake is of rolling prairie much broken by coulees. In
many of these there is considerable tree growth but for the most part the cc^iutry is devoid
of all vegetation other than grasses. All the streams in the upper section of the drainage
basin, with the exception of the north branch, rise on the plateau at the top of the hills. Flowing
southward they break through deep well wooded gorges before reaching the lower flats along
the river. The north branch, however, is in a deep valley throughout its entire length. Its
feeders, like the western tributaries of the main stream, cut from the bench to the valley in
deep well wooded coulees. Below the mouth of the north branch there is little tree growth.
Here and there along the river may be found small growths of shrubs and maple, while up on
the hillsides in some of the coulees there are small clumps of poplar covering an acre or so.
Most of these coulees are rapidly becoming cleared by the settlers who are taking up the bench
lands above the river valley. The benches are well covered with grasses but the hills and sides
of the valley are almost devoid of all vegetation. In the flats along the river, except where
irrigated, the chief vegetation consists of sage brush and cactus.

WTien the Frenchman River leaves the lake, it flows through a wide flat valley as far as the
mouth of FairweU Creek. Most of this land isimder proposed or constructed irrigation ditches.
Below this point the valley becomes more broken and narrows considerably while the side hills
become higher. Small portions of this bottom will no doubt be brought under irrigation, but
as yet little has been done in that direction.

Below the junction of the north branch, the valley becomes rough and rugged, the sides
being cut with buttes and deep coulees. Here numerous outcroppings of lignite may be seen
and also a deep seam of light coloured clay and sand. This seam, which has been bleached-
almost a pure white, shows at many points along the river's entire course and is one of the most
conspicuous objects in this region. From its colour and nature the river receives its local name
of the "Whitemud." tt • , j

At East End, some miles lower down, the valley again widens out into flats. Here is located
the largest irrigation project m the Cypress Hills district. .J. C. Strong has a large dam in the
river and a system of ditches and storage reservoirs, which irrigate a large part of the flat.
Directly above this project there are two smaller irrigation schemes and just below Messrs.
Morrison Brothers have a dam and ditch which wJU irrigate a large area. Their ditch is carried
across the river and continued by Messrs. Duncan and Watson who irrigate another large area.

Below the East End flat none of the flats which occur at various points along the river are
irrigated as yet. A short distance below the mouth of Snake Creek the river enters Bad
Lands which continue into the United States.

On most of the tributary streams above Eastend and on some below that point there are
irrigation schemes covering areas of various sizes. _ j , -x

The mean annual rainfall of this basin is not well established, but it is estimated that it
would range from twelve to sixteen inches, most of which falls in May, June and July. From
November to April, the streams are frozen over and usually there is an abimdant rainfall.

During 1914, a number of stations were established on the lower tributaries of this stream
and also two on the main stream. These stations were established to obtain the run-off of
this lower region and the total discharge of the stream in Canada.

The construction of the Weyburn-Lethbridge branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway
through the upper part of the valley has opened up that part of basin and this development
has resulted in one or two settlements coming into existence, the most important of which is
East End.

SWIFTCURRENT CREEK DRAINAGE BASIS'
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

SWIFTCURRENT CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN

General Description.

Swiftcurrent Creek rises in the eastern slope of the Cj'press Hills, follows a northeasterly
course for seventy-five miles and then a northerly one for about twenty-five miles and finally
empties into the South Saskatchewan River in To^-nship 20, Range 13, West of 3rd Meridian.

The only important tributary is Bone Creek, which rises in the Cj-press Hills and joins the
Swiftcurrent in Township 10. Range 19, West of 3rd Meridian.

The main stream flows through a valley, two to three hundred feet deep and a mile wide,
to within a few miles of its mouth, where it enters a sandstone gorge, about five himdred feet
deep.

The bench land above the creek is of rolling prairie broken by iimumerable coulees. The
soil is a sandy loam. There is very little tree growth along the stream.

The mean annual rainfall at the town of Swift Current is about fifteen inches. This in-
creases slightly at the stream's headwaters. The greatest precipitation occurs during the
months of May, June and .July. From November to April the stream is frozen over.

There are a number of small irrigation ditches in this drainage basin, and the town of Swift
Current and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company take water for domestic and industrial
purposes from the creek.

ANTELOPE LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN..

General Description.

Antelope Lake is a small body of saline water, six miles long and from one to one and one-half
miles wide, situated at an elevation of 2,300 feet above sea level. It lies in a deep depression
north of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in TowTiship 15, Range 18, West of the
Srd^Meridian, and drains an area of abont 350 square miles.

l^-fci The lake receives its supply from Bridge Creek, which rises in the Cj'press Hills. The
altitude of the source of this creek is 2,800 feet and it has an average fall of fifteen feet per mile.

The valley traversed by Bridge Creek is narrow and cjuite shallow, rarely exceeding 100 feet
in depth. The land lying along the creek bottom is very flat and liable to become inundated
during periods of flood. The bench land is rolling prairie, cut up by innumerable coulees which
drain the surrounding country into the main valley.

The mean annual rainfall amounts to about fourteen inches, most of which occurs during
May, June and July.

The creek has only a small flow, and is dry along most of its course for several months during
the year.

LAKE OF THE NARROWS DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Lake of the Narrows is a small lake three miles long and one and one-half miles wide, in
Township 3, Range 23, West of the 3rd Meridian. It has a drainage area of about 200 square
miles.

The principal stream in the basin is Skull Creek, which rises in the eastern slope of C>'press
Hills. It flows through a narrow valley for the greater part of its course, but as it nears the
lake, the valley widens out into large meadows. ' The surrounding coimtry is rolling prairie.

In very dry years such as 1910 and 1914 Skull Creek goes dry for a shor+ time. The mean
annual precipitation in the drainage basin is about thirteen inches.

CRANE LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN

General Description.

Crane Lake is one of the largest of the lakes which receive their supply from the drainage of
the northern slope of the C>i)ress Hills. It is situated in Township 13, Range 23, West of the
3rd Meridian and covers an area ("f some twenty-five square miles.

The lake has n j outlet, is shallow, and the water is saline in character. It is fed by Piapot
Creek, which rises in the Cyj:)ress Hills, flows northeastward, and is joined by Bear Creek
in Section 7, Township 12, Range 22. West of the 3rd Meridian before it reaches the lake.

The countiy to the north of the lake is rolling and of little use for agriculture, being the
eastern end of a range of sand hills which extend northwestward some forty miles. South of
the lake the country is rolling prairie, which is bare of tree growth, except along the creeks
where there is a small growth of willow and shrub. As it gets closer to the hills the country
becomes more broken and the tree growth increases, making the ravines and coulees at the
head of the creeks natural reservoirs which regulate the spring run-off considerably.

There are a number of irrigation schemes in ojjeration and projxjsed, in this basin, also
one or two industrial schemes along the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The mean annual precipitation of the northern part of the basin is about twelve inches, but
in the hills this is exceeded. During the winter season from November to April, the streams
are frozen over.

HAY LAKE DRAINAGE BA8IX.
General Description.

Hay Lake is in Township 11, Range 25, West of the 3rd Meridian, and is fed by Hay
Creek which rises in the Cj-press Hills. It is a comparatively small bodj^ of saiine water of an
approximate area of three square miles. Like all lakes in this locality it has no outlet.

The basin supplies water for a number of irrigation schemes, and also to the town of Maple
Creek for domestic and industrial purposes, the water being piped some nine miles by means
of a gravity system.

The annual precipitation averages about twelve inches; during 1913 and 1914 it was slightly
less than this amount.

MANY ISLAND LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

Many Island Lake is about twenty-five square miles in area, and is situated on the boundary
line between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, about ten miles north of the town of
Walsh. It is the farthest west of the several lakes which receive the drainage of the northern
slope of the Cypress Hills. The lake is shallow and alkaline. Its only source of water supply
is Mackay Creek with its tributaries. Stony and Boxelder Creeks.

The topography of the basin is very rough, and the creek slopes are heavy. The basin is
bare of trees except in the hills near the sources of the streams. The creek channels are deep,
and the beds are mostly gravel.

As is the case in all prairie basins, the highest discharges occur in April. All the streams
of this drainage basin stop running in June or July and generally remain so for the remainder
of the season.

In the lower part of the drainage basin near the lake, irrigation has been developed to some
extent in hay meadows. In the upper part there are few irrigation schemes.

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

ROSS CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Ross Creek rises in'Elkwater Lake, a small body of water covering an area of approximately
two square miles, situated in Township 8, Range 3, West of the 3rd Meridian. The creek
flows in a northerly direction as far as Irvine and then turns sharply to the westward and
closely parallels the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway to Medicine Hat. Here it joins
Sevenpersons River and the combined stream flows into the South Saskatchewan in Section 32,
Township 12, Range 5, West of the -1th Meridian. The tributaries of Ross Creek are Bullshead
Creek which joins it in Section 21, Township 12, Range o, West of the 4th Meridian and Gros-
ventre Creek joins it in Section 1-1, Township 11, Range 3, West of the 4th Meridian.

The topography of this basin is exceedingly rough and rolling, and almost' totally devoid
of tree growth. The one exception is a small area of the Forest Reserve just south of Elkwater
I.,ake, which has a good stand of pine and spruce.

The Canadian Pacific railway takes the water supply for its tank at Irvine from Ross Creek
and there are also several irrigation schemes taking their supply from this stream.

SEVENPERSONS RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Sevenpersons River lies between the South Saskatchewan River and the Cjpress Hills and
empties into the South Saskatchewan River at Medicine Hat. The drainage area consists
mostly of open, level prairie, which has a small rainfall and a run-off confined chiefly to the
spring freshet.

The creek has a considerable flow during the month of April, but the discharge decreases
to nil about June.

There are no irrigation works of importance on this stream, and the records arc valuable
chiefly for statistical purposes.

SEVENPERSONS RIVER AT MEDICI.VE HAT.

Location.— On the NE. } Sec. 30, Tp. 12, Rge. 5, W. 4th Mer., at the bridge on the road
between Medicine Hat and Dunmore and about one and one-half miles cast of the Canadian
Pacific liriilway station at Medicine Hat.

Records available. — .\j)ril 27, 11)10, to October 31, 191o.

Gauge. — Vertical stafl". Elevation of zero maintained at SO.()S feet since establishment.

Bench-mark. — Permanent iron bench-mark. Assumed elevation, 100.00 feet.

Channel. — Shifting.

Discharge measurements. — From bridge, by wading or with weir.

Winter flow. — Observations discontinued dtiring the winter.

Observer. — J. W. Pickering.

508 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916

LAKE JOHNSTON DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Lake Johnston lies about twenty miles southwest of the city of Moosejaw. It is about
twenty-five miles long and fifteen wide, and covers an area of nearly five townships. Almost
all the drainage into the lake comes from the south and west, through Wood River. The main
tributaries of Wood River are Wiwa Creek, Notukeu Creek, Pinto Creek and Wood Creek.
These drain a large area, but owing to the limited rainfall and the small slope of the drainage
basin, the run-off is comparatively small.

Lake Johnston has no surface outlet and there has been no surface flow from Lake Chaplin
to Lake Johnston for several years. There is often considerable flow in Wood River in the
spring, and there is always some discharge at all seasons; nevertheless, the lake has during
recent years receded.

The lower part of Wood River has a very small fall and is more of the nature of a long slough
than that of a running stream. The channel is from twenty to fifty feet wide, and is from two
to five feet deep. The bottom is composed of soft clay and is covered with weeds and grass.
There is so little fall that it would be impossible to take out water by gravity and a dam would
flood a large area of good agricultural land. There is therefore little possibility of irrigation
development in this basin.

This drainage basin includes a large area of very good agricultural land. This is pretty
well taken up by settlers and is being farmed with good results. There is one irrigation scheme
on Pearce Creek, a tributarv of Notukeu Creek.

NOTUKEU CREEK NEAR VANGUARD.

Location.— On the NW. \ Sec. 10, Tp. 11, Rge. 10, W. 3rd Mer.

Records available. — August 6, 1914, to December 31, 1915.

Gauge. — Vertical staff near traffic bridge. Zero elevation maintained at 77.94 feet since
establishment. Vertical staff below a dam one-quarter mile downstream from bridge estab-
lished August 19, 1915. Zero elevation maintained at elevation 77.04 feet since establishment.

Bench-marks. — Painted top of large bolt on plate, top of left pier, dowTistream side. Assumed
elevation, 100.00 feet. Permanent iron bench-mark on right bank, thirty feet upstream from
new gauge. Elevation, 85.19 feet above same datum as first bench-mark.

Channel. — Above dam, gauge heights affected by changes in dam; below dam, permanent.

Discharge measurements. — By wading or from traffi'c bridge.

Open water. — April 4, to November 9, 1915.

Accuracy. — Owing to a combination of circumstances, discharge records for 1915 are only
an estimate.

Observer. — Miss Constance Ripley.

QUAPPELLE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIX.
General Description.

Qu'Appelle River rises in Township 2.3, Range 4, West of the 3rd Meridian, and flows east-
ward into the Assiniboine River in TowTiship 28. Range 17, West of the 1st Meridian. These
waters eventually find their way into Hudson Bay through the Red River, Lake Winnipeg and
Nelson River. ,

The chief tributaries of Qu'Appelle River are Moosejaw Creek, Last Mountain Lake,
Wascana Creek and Loon Creek. Last Mountain is the largest lake in the basin, being some
sixty miles long and from one to three miles wide.

The valley of the main stream is from two to three hundred feet deep, with a flat from one
to three miles wide along the river. This flat is covered in many places with brush, and the
side hills are in many places well wooded. The bench lands above the river are mostly level
prairie, much of which is now imder cultivation.

The mean annual rainfall at Moosejaw is fourteen inches, at Regina fifteen inches, and at
Indian Head nineteen inches. The streams are frozen during the winter months, and there is
usually an abundant snowfall.

There are several irrigation and many industrial water rights in this basin.

During 1915, the rainfall over part of this drainage area was very deficient, the total pre-
cipitation for the twelve morths beginning December 1, 1914, at Regina, being 9.54 inches, at
Moosejaw 13.72 inches and at Qu'Appelle 18.12 inches. As nearly as can be learned there was
no flow during 1915 from Wascana Creek into Wascana Lake, an artificial lake in front of the
parliament buildings at Regina.

MOOSEJAW CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

Moosejaw Creek rises in the Yellowgrass Marsh, which lies in Townships 9 and 10, Range 17,
West of the 2nd Meridian, and flows in a north and westerly direction until it reaches the city
of Moofsejaw, where it is joined by Thunder Creek. From ^loosejaw it follows an easterly and
northerly course, finally emptying into the Qu'Appelle River near Buffalo Poimd Lake. From
the headwaters to the city of Moosejaw the drainage area is estimated at about 1,830 square
miles. This area is almost entirely devoid of tree growth, except in the vicinity of Moosejaw,
where the vallej' is lined with brush.

Throughout its entire length the creek flows in a verj' crooked but well defined channel.
The upper portion of the valley is small, being merely a depression, but it gradually increases
in size until at Drinkwater it is about thirty feet deep and at Moosejaw eighty feet deep. The
fall in the ere k is very small, and particularly so between Drinkwater and Moosejaw, where
the total fall is only 67.5 feet or an average of 2.3 feet per mile of valley.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has dams at Milestone, Rouleau, Drinkwater,
two at Moosejaw and one at Pasqua. There is also a mimicipality dam in Section 19, To^\Tiship
15, Range 24, West of the 2nd Meridian, which supplies water to the neighbourhood during
periods when there is no flow in the creek, and the city of Moosejaw has a dam within the city
limits to store water for fire fighting purposes.

Precipitation in this drainage basin during 1915 was very deficient. At Moosejaw, a large
part of the area ordinarily flooded by the several dams became nearly dry late in the summer,
leaving a noticeable shortage of water.

SOURIS RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The source of the Souris River is in marshes near Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan. From
here it fiows in a southeasterly direction almost parallel to the Soo line of the Canadian Pacific
Railway to Estevan. It then flows east to Oxbow; then it turns south and crosses the inter-
national boundary in Range 34, \V. of principal Meridian, .\fter making a loop into North
Dakota, it recrosses the international boundary in Range 27. West of the 1st Meridian, and
fiows in a northe/isterly direction to Souris, ^ianitoba, where it turns east, and finally joins
the Assiniboine River, in Township 8, Range IG, West of the 1st Meridian.

The chief tributaries of Souris River are: Long Creek, which joins it near Estevan, Moose
Mountain Creek near O.xbcnv, North and South .Antler Creeks near Sourisford, Graham Creek
at Melitu and Pijtestone Creek near Souris.

This stream drains a large tract of typical western plains. The rainfall will probably
average very little over fifteen inches, and is usually sufHciently dividcii over the year to prevent
excessive run-off or floods. .\t times when there is an unusual amount of rainfall, and in the
early si)ring, the water drains into the streams very rapidly and causes a flood of short duration.

There are towns, villages, and farms all along the cour.se of this stream and its tributaries,
wliich (lei)end on it for a domestic and industrial water sup|)ly. The Canadian Pacific Railway
is a large consumer. The town of ICstevan has established a water works system, ami at
Weyburn .several dams store water from Souris River. In North Dakota it has been propi»sed
to divert water for irrigation i)uri)oses.

'I'he season of 1915 was noticeably deficient inpreci|)itation over much of this drainage area.
It is beli<'ved that no water ran into the dams .at Weyburn during the year. The completion
of drainage works in North Dakota during the year released some water previously accumulated
in river flats in that statj-, and this a[)pears in the run-ufT at Melita.

It is believed that North .\ntler or Gainslxirough Creek dis<liarged m» water into Souris
River, and that South .\ntler and Graham Cn-eks had a small discharge in 1915.

APPENDIX No. 1

REPORT OF O. H. HOOVER, B.A.Sc, DISTRICT HYDROMETRIC ENGINEER,

FOR THE YEAR 1915.

Introductixm.

In this report I have intended to cover in a concise manner the office and field work as per-
formed, according to districts, as well as suggesting certain recommendations re the work of
1916. Special attention is given to my services in the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan
River district. A tabulated summary of the season's work is also included.

Office Work.

From January 19 to April 16, inclusive, I was at the Irrigation Office, Calgary, completing
the final computations of stream flow for the Cardston Hydrometric district, calendar year 1914.

Cardston District.

During the part of January 1 to 18, inclusive, I had charge of the field work in the Cardston
Hydrometric district, which includes roughly the square bounded on the south and north by
the international boundary and a line joining the towns of Lethbridge and Pincher Creek, res-
pectively. Apart from the Bellj' and St. Mary Rivers the streams included are small. They
however maintain a liberal summer discharge, being fed by snow and ice from the mountains.
Irrigation is largely practised in this district, and the measurements on streams of an inter-
national character are especially important. During the winter season nine regular gauging
stations were maintained. I was relieved from this district by Engineer Degnan on January IS,
and returned to Calgary on account of office work.

Banff District.

On April 17, I left Calgary for Banff relieving Engineer Ritchie of his field Hydrometric
duties for eleven days. Concerning the work of this district I have little to say, as the same
will be better taken up in Mr. Ritchie's report.

Nordegg District.

On returning from Banff to Calgary April 29, I received instructions to assume charge of
the field work in a new hydrometric district which later became known as the Nordegg district.
It includes the North Saskatchewan River and its tributaries west of Rocky Mountain House,
and the headwaters of the Brazeau River.

In carrying out the work of this district as much data as possible regarding the run-off was
obtained, and in addition a limited time was spent on gaining information which would be ef
value for power development, and storage for water power. A slight co-oporation with the
Public Works Department re the location of dam sites was also carried out, during the season's
work.

Temperature.

The run-off as regards distribution is materially affected by the temperature of this district.
Low tenipcratiircs begimiing in NovtMiiber juid enduig in April fornj snow and ice over the entire
area which temporarily .stores a large percentage of the precipitated moisture.

Geology.

Geology hafl a varied effect on the run-off as the area ooinprisea a foothill :ia well !u» a

Topography.

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

The general topography slightly affects the total run-off but has a marked effect on its
distribution. The chief effect on the total run-off is through evaporation. This district
containing in all only seven lakes, none of which are larger than two and one-half miles by one
mile, the evaporation is therefore not a large factor.

Re the distribution however, very high mountain ranges exist, 10,000 feet being quite a
common elevation. These cause the precipitation of large quantities of moisture, and by their
storage of ice and snow form the principal reservoirs of the district. The inner ranges, on which
are located Pej'to Glacier, Howse Pk., Pj^amid Mt., Sawback Mt., Mt. Coleman, Mt. Fresh-
field, and Mt. Walker, are especially well located for the preservation of snow and ice fields.
In this area it is the warm west wind as much as the sun's rays that melts the ice. By inspection
it was noted that these ranges have a general northwest direction, they also contain large pockets
or traverse gorges, and steep eastern slopes, which tend to shelter from the sun's ra.ys as well
as from the western wind. The most important ice-fields are those of the Freshfield area and
those at the head of Glacier Lake.

Vegetation.

A liberal tree growth is supported over practically the entire soil area, notable exceptions
being at the Kootenay Plains, and on certain lower flats usually near the stream channels.
At different times it was found difficult to locate feed for our pack ponies during a whole day's
travel, on account of tree growth.

The trees as a rule are young and consist of evergreens, mainly spruce and pine. Many fires
in past years have swept through the country and different stages of tree growth are evident.
Many localities are also thickly covered with fallen timber as a result of the fires. The oldest
and finest forest growth that came to my attention, was found in the Mistaya River Valley
between its mouth and the lower Waterfowl Lake. A large area of the forests of the district
is protected by the Dominion Forestry Branch, and known as the Clearwater Forest Reserve.
Vegetation through tree growth therefore has a marked retarding effect on the distribution
of the run-off.

Parly and Transportation Facilities.

My entire party consisted of one helper, Edward Matheson; one packer, Tom Wilson, and
self. Five pack ponies, and three saddle horses were used for the transport, being the only
means of covering the entire district. The Canadian Northern railway runs between Rocky
Mountain House and Nordegg, but when once in the district this road is of little use for field
work. A waggon road has been constructed by the Forestry Branch up the North Saskatchewan
River Valley from Nordegg to the whirlpool, a distance of about fifty miles. The best trails
are those which have been constructed by the Dominion Forestry Branch, and these are being
rapidly improved and extended each year. A tabulated list of the trails, etc., covered by my
party during the year is herewith included:

Cable Stations.

During the season five cable stations were erected. The first of these spans the Xorth
Saskatchewan E,iver near Wilson's ranch at about Tp. 40, Rge. 13, W. 5th Mer. This structure
is owned by the Forestry Branch and was erected in May under my supervision. The span
is about 270 feet and pyramid timber towers carry a one-inch steel cable. This structure was
built for transportation purposes as well as stream measurements.

A second cable was placed over the North Saskatchewan River about one mile below the
mouth of Shunda Creek at about Tp. 40, Rge. 13, W. 5th Mer., during the latter part of Julj'.
This structure required only one tower which was built of twelve-inch round timbers. The
span is 300 feet and a three-quarter inch steel cable was used.

Other cables were erected over the following streams: — Bighorn River at about Tp. 39,
Rge. 16, W. 5th Mer., Cline River at about Tp. 37, Rge. 18, W. 5th Mer. and Mistaya River at
about Tp. 34, Rge. 20, W. 5th Mer. Nine-sixteenths inch cable was used in each case, these
spans being less than 150 feet. A cable was also transported to a site on the Siffleur River at
about Tp. 35, Rge. 17. W. 5th Mer., but on account of the season ending time did not permit
of the erection of this structure.

NORTH S.^SKATCHEWAX KI%'ER.

The North Saskatchewan River is the main drainage channel in the district. Its source
is found in the Rocky Mountains at about 52° 30' N. Latitude and 117° 15'' W. Longitude, the
head of the North Branch. What might be termed a secondary source is the Freshfield ice
area, located at about 51° 00-* N. Latitude and 117° 00' W. Longitude, the head of the Middle
Branch.

The North Branch I was unable to visit, but from the forest rangers I learned that it
consisted of a t^^pical high level mountain stream with its steep gradient, rapids ^d rocky
canyons. The Middle Branch was inspected from below the stream entering from Howse Pass.
It has a very even gradient during its entire course, it is without falls and very free from rapids.
The river bed, however, is notably wide, one-half mile being common I should say, and this
appears as an immense gravel wash during low water.

Between the junction of the North and Middle Branches and the Kootenay Plains, the
Saskatchewan Hows in a northeast and easterly direction. The gradient is quite even though
supporting a swift flow, and the channel is generally wide, forming islands at different points.
Few rapids affect this portion of the river. At a point about ten miles above the Plains a small
whirlpool exists, below and near which is a very narrow point on the river channel, as the same
passes through a small rock gap. The water surface width at this point is about 160 feet. Two
rivers and about ten creeks enter the Saskatchewan above the Plains. At the Kootenay Plains
stream measurements were obtained by means of the cable during the entire season. The
discharges varied from 21,176 second-feet on June 27, to 881 second-feet on October 29. The
former result was, however, a very abnormal flood discharge and the ordinary annual high
water discharge would probably not be more than 10,000 sec. -feet. The drainage basin area
at this point is about 836 sq. miles.

Between the Kootenay Plains jind the mouth of Shunda Creek the Saskatchewan flows in
a north, northeast and easterly direction. The channel varies, being extremely wide in one
place and quite narrow in another. More islands are in evidence and some difficult rapids are
encountered. The mouth of Shimda Creek takes the Saskatchewan about twelve miles
out of the mountains.

Between Shunda Creek and Rocky Mountain House the Saskatchewan flows in an easterly
direction and has a fairly even gradient, seldom disturbed by rapids. The stream also follows
a straightiT course and has a narrower channel with higher banks. About one mile below the
mouth of Shunda Creek, at the cable site, stream measurements were obtained during the latter
part of the season. A gauge was also established and daily records obtained. Discharges
varied from 43,841 sec. -feet on June 27 and 28, ti) 903 sec. -feet on Noven»ber S.

No falls were observed on the Saskatchewan between the upper branches and Kocky Moun-
tain House. The river valley is moderately uniform anil contains one immense gap, being when»
it leaves the mountains through the Brazeau range. Between the KiK)tenay Plauis and Rocky
Mountain House four rivers and about twenty creeks enter the Saskatchewsm,

MISTAYA RIVER. -

The Mistaya flows in a northeasterly direction from the Bow Pass and Peyto Lake to its
mouth on the Saskatchewan River about one mile below the mouth of the North Branch.
The gradient is very steep causing a total drop of at least 1400 feet. The stream is a very
notable one on account of the lakes through which it passes and from a scenic viewpoint. It is
wonderfully picturesque with its narrow valley formed of very high mountains, inlaid with
glaciers, moraines and forests. The stream passes through four lakes, two of which are called
the Waterfowl Lakes. A fifth lake also lies at the southeast foot of Pyramid Mountain and
drains from the west into the Mistaya. These lakes and glaciers control very materiallj' the
distribution of the nm-off of this stream. . The lower part of the river channel passes through
very deep narrow canyons which have been formed by the swift stream action on the sedimentary'
rock formation. Rapids in succession occur on these lower stretches. A few discharges were
obtained at the cable station located near the stream mouth. These varied from 2166 sec. -feet
on June 27 to 125 sec. -feet on October 9. The drainage area at the cable is about 135 square
miles.

SIFFLEUR RIVER.

The Siffleur flows in a northerly direction from the Pipestone pass to the Saskatchewan
River at the Kootenay Plains. I visited only the lower portion of this stream and learned that
about one mile above the mouth it entered a deep inverted cone-shaped rock canyon. Continu-
ing about three-quarters of a mile up stream this formation changed to a narrow deep canyon
which after one-quarter mile suddenly stopped, causing falls. The drop at these falls is about
forty-five feet. Above this point the stream seemed to widen and remain nearer the valley
level. Discharge measurements were made at the mouth of the lower canyon and varied from
1662 sec. -feet on June 27 to 135 sec. -feet on October 31. The drainage area at this point is about
229 square miles.

WHITERABBIT CREEK.

This stream is about fifteen miles long, has a very straight channel and flows in a north-
easterly direction entering the Saskatchewan about three miles below the Siffleur River mouth.
The creek valley is notably narrow with steep rock slopes usually void of tree growth. A steep
gradient also assists in causing a violent run-off. Large daily variations were noticed. Dis-
charge measurements were made about one-half mile above the stream mouth. These varied
from 222 sec. -feet on June 7 to 19 sec. -feet on May 18. The drainage area at the measurement
point is about 213 square miles.

CLINE RIVER.

The Cline flows in an easterly direction from the Cataract Pass to the Saskatchewan River
at about Tp. 37, Rge. 18, W. 5th Mer. The upper course of this stream which has a large drop
is called Cataract Creek and passes through a narrow valley bovmded by high mountains and
numerous small ice areas. Snow slides destroy much of the timber of this valley. Lower
down the stream also retains a steep gradient and about four or five miles above its mouth the
river passes into a very deep rock canyon. This continues for probably two miles after which
the stream widens very much forming a large gravel wash near the mouth. Discharge measure-
ments were obtained at the cable site about one-half mile above the mouth of the canyon.
These varied from 1714 sec. -feet on July 9 to 161 sec. -feet on November 18. The drainage area
at the cable is about 276 square miles.

BIGHORN RIVER.

The Bighorn flows in a south and easterly direction from Tp. 40 Rge. 17, W. 5th Mer. to
the Saskatchewan River at Sec. 16, Tp. 39. Rge. 16, W. 5th Mer. I was unable to reconnoitre
the upper portion of this stream and am vmable to report on same. Within four miles of the
stream mouth, however, travelling upstream the channel changes from a verj' wide gravel wash
to a narrow stream bed with high rock banks. I also believe a fall is located about six miles
upstream from the mouth. Regular measurements were obtained at the cable station at Tp. 39,
Rge. 16, W. 5th Mer. Discharges variedfrom 401 sec. -feet on July 11 to 27 sec.-feetonNovember
21. The drainage area is about 91 square miles.

MARTIN CREEK.

This very small stream rises about four miles southwest of Nordcgg flowing northeast
through Nordegg to its mouth on Shunda Creek about one mile below the town. C.auge height
and discharge records were obtained at SE. Sec. 27, Tp. 40, Rge. 15, W. 5th Mer. a point just
above the intake of the Nordegg water works. Discharges varied from 15.2 sec. -feet on July 15
to 0.042 sec-feet on November 5. The drainage area is about five square miles.

APPENDIX 535

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

SHUN'DA CREEK.

Shunda Creek. locally knowTi as Mire Creek, rises in Tp. 41. Rge. 16. W. 5th Mer., andflows
in a southeast and northeasterly direction to its junction with the Saskatchewan at about
Tp. 40, Rge. 13. W. 5th Mer. The stream is well named as the basin contains much muskeg and
a large tamarack swamp. The upper gradient is even and small but increases on the lower
stretches of the stream. A gauging station was established near the mouth on June 3. and
gauge heights were observed during the latter part of the season. Discharges at this point
varied from 3426 sec-feet on June 27 to 18.6 sec-feet on November 6. The drainage area is
about 120 square miles.

RAM RI\'ER.

Ram River, locally known as Sheep River, enters the Saskatchewan from the south at about
Tp. 39, Rge. 11. W. 5th Mer. I was unable to reconnoitre this stream more than a few miles
above its mouth; however, I understand that at a point about twenty miles upstream the river
divides about equally, one branch following a western course and the other continuing in a
southwesterly direction. Discharge measurements were obtained about one mile up from
the stream mouth. These varied from 33,579 sec. -feet on June 27 to 710 sec-feet on September
25. The drainage area at this station is roughly 803 square miles.

-SOUTH BRAZEAC RI\'ER.

The South Brazeau rises in Sec. 21, Tp. 41, Rge. 19, W. 5th Mer., and flows in a northeast-
erly, east and northerly direction to its mouth on the Brazeau at about Tp. 44, Rge. 16, W. 5th
Mer. The headwaters comprise three branches, Blackstone Creek from the west, George
River from the southwest and Smith Creek from the south. These join the main stream at
Tp. 42, Rge. 19, W. 5th Mer., which during the first mile of its course flows through a very
narrow pass in the Brazeau Range, thus leaving the mountains. The stream below this point
has a fairly steep gradient with a channel varying from the wide gravel wash to the very narrow
deep style bounded by high rock bank.s. A gauging station was established at a point about
one mile above the mouth of Chungo Creek and two measurements were obtained. The dis-
charge on June 27 was 30,419 sec. -feet apd on August 27, 331 sec-feet. The drainage area is
about 352 square miles.

SOUTHESK RIVER.

The Southesk rises in Tp. 43, Rge. 22, W. 5th Mer., and flows southeast, east and northeast
to its mouth on the Brazeau River at Tp. 43, Rge. 20, \V. 5th Mer. I reconnoitred this stream
for about five miles above its mouth and found a narrow chaniiel with high rock banks and a
steep stream gradient. This section of the stream valley was thickly wooded and partly
covered with fallen burnt timber. A gauging station was established at the ford at about
Sec 6, Tp. 43, Rge. 20, W. 5th Mer., and two measurements were obtained. The discharges
were 3,835 sec. -feet for June 27, and 462 sec-feet for September 2. The drainage area at this
point is 176 square miles.

CHUNGO CREEK.

(-'hungo Creek rises in Tp. 42, Rge. 19, W. 5th Mer., and flows in a northeasterly direction

Whenever possible during the season's work water storage sites were investigated, and rough
surveys made. The following sites were reported en: Brazeau Lake, Glacier Lake, Peyto Lake,
and the Waterfowl Lakes. Of these. Glacier Lake is probably of most importance.

Miscellaneous measurements were made whenever considered of value.

All discharge measurements of June 27 in cormection with the maximum discharges of June

REPORT OF P. H. DANIELLS, B.Sc, DISTRICT HYDROMETRIC ENGINEER,

FOR THE YEAR 1915.

REPORT ON THE PEACE RIVER DISTRICT.

The Peace River district, organized during the past season, includes streams in both the
Peace and Lesser Slave River drainage basins.

Previous to 1915 no work was done in this district except on the Lesser Slave River near
Sawridge, where a few miscellaneous measurements were made in 1914. However, during the
past season this territory was made a regular " Hydrometric district" and a few gauging sta-
tions were established in each drainage basin. On account of the poor methods of transporta-
tion in the Peace River country it was not feasible to cover the whole district, and measure-
ments at the stations established could only be made at rather long intervals.

THE PEACE RIVER. ,

The Peace is formed by the confluence of the Parsnip and Finlay Rivers both of which rise
in and drain a large district lying along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in northern
British Columbia.

The important tributaries of the Peace River are the Pine, Smoky, Wabiskaw and Red
Rivers.

There are several smaller streams which discharge their waters into the Peace, but as all
of them except the North Heart flow through a very sparsely settled country, they are as yet of
little interest to this office.

The Pine River rises in the mountains of British Columbia and enters the Peace on the
south side about thirty miles west of the Alberta boimdary, it is the largest tributarj' west
of the Smoky River.

The Smoky and North Heart Rivers will be taken up separately in this report.

The Wabiskaw and Red Rivers both rise on the height of land west of the Athabaska River
and drain a large extent of low country lying between the Athabaska and Peace Rivers and
north of the Lesser Slave Lake. No measurements were made on either of these rivers during
the past season, but it is probable that a few miscellaneous measurements will be made during
the coming winter.

Except for the last two mentioned streams the branches of Peace River all obtain the
greater portion of their supply from the mountains, and the stage of water is governed to a great
extent by the winter precipitation, therefore floods in the early spring are not usual. However,
during July the high temperatures and warm rains in the mountains cause the snow-covered area
of the drainage basin to discharge large quantities of water, and it is at this time that the greatest
floods occur. In 1915 there was no exceptional flood on the Peace River. The maximum stage
was reached on July 14 and was caused bj' a warm rain in the upper drainage basin. "^Fhe effect
was more noticeable on the Smoky than on the Peace River.

For the purpose of description the Peace may very well be divided into three sections:

1. From its head to the mouth of the Smoky.

2. From the mouth of the Smokyto Fort Vermilion.

3. From Fort Vermilion to the Great Slave River.

APPEXDIX 537

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

The first section is about 300 miles long. Over this distance the river flows through a
great plateau in which it has excavated to a depth of from 600 to 900 feet. The banks are
steep and the valley narrow but gradually widening from the line between British Columbia and
Alberta, where the river passes through a steep rock}' canyon, known as the Peace Canyon,
to Peace River Crossing where the valley is about three miles wide.

The country back from the river is composed of alternate patches of thinly wooded and
prairie land with a few muskegs. A large percentage of the land is well suited for agricultural
purposes. The district lying between the Peace and Wapiti Rivers, known as the Grande Prairie
country, contains the largest percentage of open land. Owing to this fact and on account of the
excellence of the soil and the lines of progress of the railways, this portion of the country is
being the most rapidly settled.

The second section of the river, between the mouth of the Smoky and Fort Vermilion, is
about two hundred and seventy miles long. Throughout this distance the river pursues a
winding though northerly course nearly to Fort ^'ermilion and then turns eastward. The
banks are about seven hundred feet high at the beginning of the section and gradually decrease
in height until at Fort Vermilion the river is very little lower than the level of the surrounding
countrj'. Over this section the land adjacent to the river is nearly all wooded with aspen,
poplar and frequent patches of spruce; it also contains numerous muskegs. Back a few miles
from the river en both sides there are portions of open land suitable for immediate settlement
and as the stream approaches Fort Vermilion the prairie extends to the river banks. Close to
Fort Vermilion, especially on the south side of the river, there are large patches of prairie land.
At this point there has been a settlement for several years and all ordinary grains and vegetables
have been grown successfully.

The third section of the river, between Fort Vermilion and the Great Slave River, is about
two hundred miles long. The stream flows in a northeasterly direction for about one hundred
and fifty miles and then takes a general easterlj- course until it is joined by the overflow from
Lake Athabaska forming the Great Slave River. The country through which the river flows in
this section is not well known. I had no opportunity of getting over this portion during the past
summer, and was unable to learn much about the surrounding country as all of the travelling
through here has been done on the river.

The Peace is the largest and longest branch of the Great Northern Waterways system.
It is navigable during high water from Hudson's Hope on the line between Alberta and British
Columbia to the Great Slave River, a distance of nearly eight himdred miles, with only one
interruption, the Vermilion Falls. At this point rapids and falls in the river necessitate a portage
of about seven miles. During the lower stages there are two or three places between Dunvegan
and Hudson's Hope where boats drawing much over two feet of water cannot pass.

There is an opportunity of extensive power development at two points on the Peace. The
first is near Hudson's Hope where the river passes through a narrow rocky canyon, which is
about twelve miles in length. Over this distance the river falls about sixty feet. The second
point is at Vermilion Falls, about fifty miles downstream from Fort Vermilion. It has been
estimated that 150.000 horse power could be developed here at the low water period, but our
measurements made at Fort Vermilion show that this estimate is high.

The following facts about the Vermilion Falls and rapids were given me by Mr. Bisset,
of the Water Power Branch, who made a survey of tliis site in October, 1015: —

The difference in elevation of the river between the liead of the rapids and the foot of the
falls is twenty-six feet in low water and gradually decreases as the water rises. About fourteen
feet of this distance is taken up in the falls alone, the balance in the rapids above. On accoimt
of the low left bank of the river it would not be practicable to increase the head to much over
thirty feet. The bed and banks of the river at this point are composed of solid limestone.

These are tlie only two points on the river where extensive power develo|>ment is possible,
but there is another larger fall in the river after it is joined by the overflow of Lake .Vthabaska
and known as the Great Slave River. I made enquiries about this site and sent in a report in
August.

During the jiast suinmer two gauging stations were established on the Peace River, one at
Peace River Crossing in tin- northwest (jiiartcr of Section 2*J, I'owiiship s;{. Range Jl, West of
the 5th -Meridiiin, and one iit Fort Vermilion in Section 14, Township 108, Riuige 13, West of
the 5th .Mcri(li;in.

the mouth of the Little Smoky River, the river falls quite rapidly and contains a number of
small rapids, the largest of which is known as the Twenty-five Mile rapids and is about twenty-
five miles from the mouth. On account of the numerous rapids and the quantities of large
boulders lying in the river bed it is navigable only in the higher stages and then only for boats
of quite light draft.

The largest tributaries of the Smoky are the Wapiti and Little Smoky Rivers. The Wapiti
River rises in TowTiship 65, Range 13, West of the 6th Meridian, and flows eastward to its mouth.
It rises in the mountains and is fairly swift throughout its length. This river forms the southern
boundary of the Grande Prairie country and on this account will probably be one of the first
streams in this country to be developed. I intended to establish a regular gauging station near
the mouth of this stream during the past summer and ordered the necessary supplies for it,
but on account of the irregularity and uncertainty of transportation decided that it would be
advisable to wait until next season, when it will be possible to reach Grande Prairie by railroad.
In this case it will be quite easy to establish and maintain a station near Grande Prairie city.

The Little Smoky River rises in Township 56, Range 3, West of the 6th Meridian, and
drains a large low country between the Athabaska and Smoky rivers. It enters the Smoky
River at the east side about sixty-five miles upstream from the Peace River. One measurement
was made near the mouth during the past season.

The gauging station on the Smoky River was established on June 4 at Prudent's Crossing
in SW. \ Section 10, Township 78, Range 24, West of the 5th Meridian. The discharge measure-
ments were made from the ferry boat. In this case also it was found impossible to work from
the boat during high water stages and slope measurements were made. A cable station could
be established here at a comparatively small cost, but as the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British
Columbia railway are now building a bridge about two miles upstream from the station it will
probably be unnecessary.

NORTH HEART RIVER.

The North Heart River rises in Township 80, Range 19, West of the 5th Meridian, and flows
in a northeasterly course to its mouth at Peace River Crossing. It flows through low banks
and on easy gradients to within twelve miles of its mouth where it begins to fall quite rapidly
and has excavated a deep, fairly narrow valley.

A gauging station was established on this stream about one-half mile from its mouth on
June 2, 1915. The station is a poor one on accoimt of its nearness to the Peace River, the stage
being affected by high water in the Peace. Although this was known when the station was estab-
lished it was impossible to obtain an observer at a point away from the influence of the Peace
River.

Miscellaneous measurements.

Miscellaneous measurements were made of the following streams in the Peace River district
during 1915: —

Little Smoky River, near mouth; Cadotte River, near mouth; Whitemud River, near mouth;
Battle River, near mouth; Buffalo River, near mouth.

In concluding this part of my report I wish to recommend that a motor boat be purchased
for use in this district. While a discharge measurement made from any type of boat is not
entirely satisfactory, much better work can be done from a motor boat for several reasons.
First, it can be used in fairly swift water where it is practically impossible to use a hand-propelled
boat. Second; owing to its greater weight it can be used in a strong wind, when it is impossible
to keep a canoe in a constant position. Third, a stay line can be used with a motor boat. Fourth,
greater speed can be obtained.

The motor boat as a means of transportation would soon pay for itself. It could be used
for any work on the Peace River between Hudson's Hope and Fort Smith, and if the right type
of boat was secured it could be used upon the Smoky River between Peace River Crossing and
the mouth of the Wapiti River.

I would suggest, for this purpose a flat bottomed tunnel boat about twenty-four feet long and
with a four and one-half foot beam, to draw not more than ten inches of water and to be capable
of developing a speed of about six miles per hour against the Peace River current. This I think
could be done with a 16-20 h.p. motor. This type of boat could be obtained for about $650.00
and could be used during the entire open water season, except for about two weeks in July
during the flood stages. At this time it is impossible to use any kind of boat for making gaug-
ings on account of the large quantities of driftwood running.

I found during the past summer that it is cheaper to travel in a small motor boat, also that
on account of the steamboats operating on the river not running on a regular schedule, it is
impossible to make gaugings at such points as Fort Vermilion with any regularity. During
the past season there were only four steamboat trips made between Peace River Crossing and
Fort Vermilion, and only one between Peace River Crossing and Hudson's Hope.

LESSER SLAVE RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

The Lesser Slave River drainage basin is bounded on the north by the Wakiskaw and Red
Rivers, on the west by the Smoky and on the south by the Athabaska River. The drainage
from the country included in this area passes into the Lesser Slave Lake, a large, shallow lake
with low marshy shores. The land surrounding the lake and, in fact, all cf the country in the
drainage basin, except in the extreme southern end, is low, mostly wooded with aspen and
spruce and contains numerous muskegs.

The South Heart and Swan Rivers are the two most important ones emptjong into the lake;
some of the minor streams are the Driftpile and Assineau Rivers and Sucker Creek, but they
are quite small, discharging only from two to ten second-feet during the low water period.

The nature of the country in this drainage basin is such as to make most of the streams
practically useless from a standpoint of power development or for irrigation purposes.

Only two regular gauging stations were established in this district, one on the Swan River
near Kinuso and one on the Lesser Slave River at Sawridge.

SWAN RIVER.

The Swan River rises in the mountains in the extreme southern end of the drainage basin
and flows northward. After leaving the foothills it is joined by the Inverness River and from
this point passes through a low level country to its mouth.

LESSER SLA^T: RIVER.

The Lesser Slave River obtains nearly all of its supply from the Lesser Slave Lake and
discharges into the Athabaska River. At its head the gradient of the river is very slight, the
course winding and the banks quite low. As it approaches the Athabaska the banks become
higher and the fall more rapid. About sixteen miles from its mouth there is a rapid, and at this
point an opportunity for a considerable power development exists.

The stage of the Lesser Slave River is regulated by the water level of the lakes, and floods
do not occur. The flow is fairly constant, there being less difTerence between the summer and
winter discharge than on the ordinary Alberta stream.

Miscellaneous measurements of the following streams in this drainage basin were made:

East Prairie River, near High Prairie; West Prairie River, near High Prairie; South Heart
River, near High Prairie.

APPENDIX No. 3

THE USE OF BOATS FOR MAKING STREAM MEASUREMENTS,

By p. H. DANIELLS, B.Sc,

District Hydrometric Enqinb^ir.

This paper will be limited to a description of the several tj'pes of boat measurements made
on the Peace River district during the past summer.

Theac types can be classed under the throo following heads:

1. McHSurcinontH nuuU; from ferry boats.

2. M<'!iHuri'iii(iiLs iiuide with Ixiut and anchor.
',i. Mi;usurcuient8 made with boat and cable.

Although a gauging made from any sort of boat is not entirely satisfactory, the boat results
are j)r()l)abiy obtnim-d witli u boat and cabli', but owing to the grrat width of the rivors in this
diHtrict it was impoHHibk- to employ this ini-tiiod very oftrn, luul 1 will tluTfforo take up more
paitiiuilurly thu dcs(;riptiou of tliu lirst two methods.

Two types of f<Trv IiohIh were used. First the ordinary scow ferry. This ih'sinu of forrv bimt
is familiar to everyone so a description of it is not necessary. Tliis lu>at is n»»t very well !u):kp(<-d

540 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

The second tj^pe is the pontoon ferry and as a boat for stream measurement work this
design could hardlj' be improved upon. This boat, as sho\vn in Fig. 1, consists of a platform
bridged across two sharp^nosed scows. The scows are about ten feet wide and are placed twelve
feet apart. The platform is so far forward that the stem end of it is quite close to the centre
of the ferry, and if the current meter is suspended at the point (A), any error in the recorded
velocities caused by the swinging motion of the boat is eliminated. The velocitj' of the water
under the centre of the bridge is not disturbed by the submerged portion of the scows. This
type of boat can be used in any stage of water, the pressure on the cable being much less when
the boat is stationary than when it is in motion. The total length of the ferry is about thirt)'
feet, and it is, therefore, possible to use a proper stay line.

Boat and Anchor.

This method was used with two types of boats, a motor boat and a canoe. The former is
the most satisf actorj' for several reasons. It can be used in faster water and if properly equip-
ped a stay line can be used. Owing to its greater weight a motor boat can be held stationary in a
fairly hard wind while a canoe, even though anchored from both bow and stern, will shift slightly
from side to side in a gentle wind and if the w'ind is strong across the river or upstream it is
impossible to use a canoe with any degree of accuracy. The greatest disadvantages of a canoe
are that a stay line cannot be used and that it does not allow the operator to move around
freely. In my work it was used only when it was impossible to employ anj'^ other method.
The meter was suspended about four feet in front of the boat and on account of no stay line
being used velocities were read at a depth of four feet. The boat was anchored at both bow
and stem. This method is very slow, it is necessary to lift both anchors entirely out of water
before any progress can be made with the boat and in a fairly swift current it takes several
minutes to get back to the line of measurement. It is quite difficult to judge the distance
between soundings with any accuracy especially if the interval of paddling is very long, and
often it is necessary to make two or more attempts before the proper location is reached.

With the motor boat the meter was suspended from the stern and about four feet to one
side of the boat. The boat was anchored from the bow only. By use of the engine it was
possible to move quickly and without lifting the anchor out of the water and soundings could
be made at fairly regular intervals with very little difficulty. The engine was running at all
times, but with the clutch thrown out after the boat was anchored.

With any tj-pe of boat it is difficult to judge the distance between soundings, especially
near the centre of the stream. I tried to overcome this by using floats anchored at regular
intervals across the stream. This method worked wery well in shallow and sluggish water but
in deep fairly swift water it took so long to arrange the float and anchor it in the proper location
that I decided it was 'faster and easier to take the soundings at closer intervals and make sure
of the distances in that way.

In all classes of boat measurements, except those made with a boat and cable, it is necessary
to measure the distances of soundings by means of triangulation. In this case a sextant was
used and angles were read from the boat. A much more satisfactory way would be to use a
transit and measure the angles from the shore, but this would require an extra man.

Two stakes were placed on line with the measuring section so that the boat could be kept
on line. From the stake nearest the river's edge an angle of ninety degrees was turned and a
base line carefully measured. Stakes were placed along the base line at such places as would
make the angles read neither too large nor too small. For instance, on the Peace River at Fort
Vermilion, where the river is about eighteen himdred feet wide, a fifteen himdred foot base line
was used. Stakes were put in at two hundred, five hundred, one thousand and fifteen hundred
feet from the line of measurement and the angles read from the first stakes for distances up to
about three hundred feet,- then from the second stake, etc. Even distances were used to sim-
plify the computations.

In the case of a ferry boat measurement, such as on the Peace River at Peace River Crossing,
a slightly different method is necessary. At this point the river is about fifteen himdred feet
wide in high water and, owing to this fact and on account of the swiftness of the current, the
ferry boat does not pursue a straight course across the river but goes down stream for a consider-
able distance as it approaches the middle of the river and the slack is pulled out of the cable.
Even by moving from end to end of the boat it was impossible to keep on the measuring line,
therefore it was necessary to lay out two separate lines, one about fifty feet from the other.
The full line, Fig. 2, was used for measuring angles between zero and five hundred and between
one thousand and fifteen hundred. For the intervening distance the dotted line was used.

Soundings.

A little difficulty was experienced in getting accurate soundings. This was caused by trying
to use the ordinary methods. At Peace River Crossing 1 was able to use a stay line and a weight
of about two hundred and twenty-five poimds, but under the worst conditions encountered,
a depth of twenty-eight feet and a velocity of over ten feet per sec, it was impossible to know
whether the weight was on the bottom of the river or was being supported by the stay line
I do not think accurate results can be obtained by the use of a stay line under such conditions.
I found that by using a fifteen pound weight on a very light line, about one-eighth of an inch in

diameter, and throwing it upstream as far as possible, the depth could be accurately measured
just as the weight was passing the boat in the current. In the case mentioned it was also impos-
sible to tell when the meter was at the proper depth for readings, and readings were taken at
a depth of three feet, and a constant, which had been determined from several vertical velocity
measurements made in the same stream but in slower water, appUed.

FLOODS IN ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN IN JUNE AND JULY, 1915.

By G. H. WHYTE, Divisional Hydbometric Engineeb.

General Introduction.

In 1915 the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains between the Crowsnest and Yellowhead
Passes in Alberta and the adjoining prairie in that province and portions of its eastern neighbour,
Saskatchewan, were subject to unusual precipitation which during June was exceptionally
heavy, culminating about June 25. This heavy precipitation caused the rim-ofF for all streams
in this area to be much above the average and in June and July caused floods on many of the
streams.

High water on the streams of Alberta and Saskatchewan is usual at least once a year and
is of two kinds, depending on the tj^pe of catchment area; the first kind, when the ice breaks
up and the run-off of the winter snows of the prairies takes place, usually in March; and the
second, caused by the run-oflf of the snows of the mountains in June or July. It is only occasion-
ally that either of these periods of high water reaches the magnitude of a flood. Every few
years on some of the minor streams and at longer intervals on the main arteries, floods of some
magnitude occur which, while they may be augmented by the run-off of snow water, are caused
by exceptionally heavy rainfalls in a short period of time over an already well saturated ground
surface.

Scope of this Report.

The object of this report is to present the principal and important facts pertaining to the
discharge of streams during the flood of June-July, 1915. It is hoped that the data herewith
given are complete and extensive enough for all ordinary purposes, but it is realized that many
facts which may be of service are not given and with the time available it would be impossible
to present these without also presenting much which would be of little value. A large quantity
of data has been gathered at various points which is available on request. It is well to state
that much was not obtained owing to the vast territory to be covered by a small staff of engineers
who primarily collected only such data as was required for the proper compilation of the hydro-
metric work.

Accuracy of Data.

The data herewith given are as reliable as possible but may contain some inaccur,'icie8 owing
to the impossibility of obtaining full details at some points where none of our engineers were
during the flood and where the gauges were destroyed. The computations are, with few excei>-
tions, well within the recjuirod degree of accuracy as discharge curves for both the period beiore
and after the flood were obtained in all cases. A few inconsistencies may appear as attempts
to eliminate them have not been made where sufhcient data wiia not available.

Acknowledgments.

The precipitation data herewith given arc from the records of the Metoorologioal Servicf
of Canada. A few gauge heiglila and other records were obtained from various municipal !\nd
other authoriticH as well as from railway and private corporations. These records were of
Hp(!cial value in individual station studies, and acknowledguients are due all who supplied such
data und for such asHistance as was rendered to our engineers during the progress oi the llood.

The following meteorological data are attached as these factors playan important part in
run-off and floods.

Table A 1 shows the mean temperature, total precipitation and highest precipitation on
a single day as well as comparisons with the average at all stations on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains between the Crowsnest and Yellowhead Passes during June.

Table A 2 shows similar records for each month at a number of stations from October,
1914. to July, 1915. "

Table A 3 gives monthly precipitations for the last ten years at various points.

Plate A 4 shows isohyetose lines for June also gauging stations and headwaters of the
drainage basins affected by the flood. It should be noted that the isohyetose lines shown are
only approximate and may be in error at various points.

It has been stated that on the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River there was
more snow than usual about June 25, while the opposite seems to be true about the headwaters
of the Bow River. However, reliable data with respect to this factor are not available.

General Causes of the Flood of June-July, 1915.

The causes of the large run-off over a short period in June, 1915, can be classed]under two
general heads, namely:

(1) The heavy precipitation of that period.

(2) The conditions affecting the run-off.

Each of these two heads requires some discussion and while somewhat different are also
closely connected. That is, unless conditions were favourable for a speedj'^ run.-oflf of much
of the rainfall, no such flood could have occurred. From the meteorological records it is seen
that there were unusual amounts of rain in both Maj' and June, 1915. and the rains of June 24
to 27 were of exceptional densitj^ at some points, therefore, no further discussion of the first
head is necessary.

Under the second head, "The conditions affecting run-off", there are several sub-heads,
namely:

a. Topography.

h. Geological structure.

c. Evaporation.

d. Vegetation.

e. Ground water.

The first of these, (a) "Topography," has, of course, a marked effect in changing rainfall
to run-off. Steep slopes, as found in mountain areas, run off a greater percentage of the rainfall
than gentle slopes, such as found in the foothills, and gentle slopes run off more than lands, such
as prairies, which often have very slight slopes. Each drainage basin has been described in
more or less detail so that it is unnecessary to state that all types of topography are met with
in each of the basins mentioned in this report.

The (6) "Geological structure" of an area no doubt has some part in determining its run-
off, but authorities seem to differ as to its importance. The areas imder consideration in this
report are, as far as run-off is affected, fairly similar in their geological structure and therefore
need not be extensively commented upon. The upper beds of the mountain regions are for the
most part of limestone series, although others are of quartzite, which in most cases has little
or no soil cover. The foothills, on the other hand, are principally of sandstone and shale series
which in general has an abundant soil cover. Full details of the geology of this whole area
may be found in many reports on the geological features of the Rocky Mountains, or of various
areas published by the Geological Survey of Canada.

The (c) "Evaporation" over an area is one of the most important points to be considered
in a study of the run-off of precipitation. It depends on a great many other factors and is here
taken to include direct evaporation into the air and indirect evaporation or absorption by
plant growth. The amount of water evaporated into the air of course depends on the tempera-
ture, velocity of winds and atmospheric pressure. Over the area covered by this report it is
known that the temperature during both May and June of 1915 was below normal, and in June

APPENDIX 545

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

up to the date of the heavy rains there were few warm days. Therefore it is assumed that from
the point of temperature the evaporation would be low. The velocity of winds over the area
from the records at Calgary and Edmonton was little above 1914 and probably about normal.
Atmospheric pressure at Banff, Calgary and Edmonton was above that of the four previous
j'ears, and the effects that this condition would produce would favour low evaporation. The
humidity was also greater in 1915 than in the two previous years. The absorption by plant
growth would apparenth- not be as great in June as usual, as it was stated at that time that
crops were backward, owing to the cool weather and great amount of rain. If the conditions
were such on the prairies, where the mean temperature was about five degrees above the
foothills and mountain section and the precipitation from two to eight inches less, it can be
assumed that they were at least similar in the foothills and mountains.

From the foregoing it can be readily seen that the evaporation for May and June can be
assumed as being below the average for those months, thus allowing more that the usual amount
of rainfall to become ground water and run-off.

The id) "Vegetation" of an area has a marked effect on the run-off and evaporation. A
cover of trees with their matted roots forms an effective pondage for quantities of ground
water and retards the run-off to a noticeable extent. They also protect the surface of the
ground from the direct rays of the sun, reducing to some slight extent direct evaporation from
the soil. The presence of vegetation also has the effect of increasing evaporation by absorp-
tion into plant life and by exposure to the air of large quantities of moisture contained in leaves,
much of which is evaporated.

It is seen, therefore, that forests and their plant life adjuncts have a retarding rather than
an accelerating effect in converting precipitation into run-off. The foothills and mountains
of Alberta are not well covered with tree growth owing to the repeated fires in past years.
Better protection from fires is aiding the gradual development of forest cover, and as this cover
extends, the effects of heavy rains should not be felt as quickly nor as markedly.

A proportion of all precipitation finds its way into the ground and forms that little known
or understood part of hydrography called (e) "Groundwater." The earth's surface is penetrated
to great depths by ground waters which are constantly in motion. Towards the surface these
waters are affected in their motion by various conditions, such as changes in atmospheric pres-
sure and temperature. In addition to the above, precipitation, which is the source of ground
water, plays an important part in such motion. The motions of ground or sub-surface water,
like surf ace waters, are vertical and horizontal, and the vertical motion is greatly affected by
rainfall. The horizontal or sub-surface flow of ground water is a fairly constant factor, that is,
the channels remain of a more or less constant size, and the only increase in flow is caused by
increase of head. The upper soils of the earth are much more open than the lower and espe-
cially is this true where there is a good growth of plant life and these parts are subject to great
changes in position of the ground water. When heavy rains take place the upper soils absorb
great quantities of water which gradually filter through the lower strata. If the rains are
continuous it can be seen that sooner or later the surface stratum absorbs all the water it
possibly can, and as the lower strata cannot carry away the rain as fast as it falls most of it
will have to run off on the surface.

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.

General Description.

This stream is formed by the junction of the Oldman and Bow Rivers at a point known as
the Grand Forks in Alberta. It flows in a northeasterly direction through the eastern part
of Alberta and almost across Saskatchewan where it joins the North Saskatchewan River
forming the Saskatchewan River proper.

The river is joined by the Sevenpersons River near Medicine Hat, the Red Deer River just
after it crosses into Saskatchewan and farther down by Swiftcurrent Creek, the Red Deer
being the only tributary with much of a flow.

The whole of the drainage area of this river is prairie and from it there was little run-off
in June to augment the flood discharges of the Oldman, Bow and Red Deer Rivers. It is there-
fore not necessary in this report to go into the causes of the flood, precipitation or temperature
in the main drainage area.

Former Floods.

This stream has been subject to floods of some magnitude on a number of occasions in the
past few years, practically every flood on the three main branches causing floods or high
water on the main stream. At Saskatoon on Jime 17, 1908, the river reached a stage of 26.9 feet
or 6 feet higher than in 1915. It is assumed by the city of Saskatoon that the flood of 1908 was
the highest known at that point. At Medicine Hat it is believed that the flood of 1902 was the
highest although no definite data are available. In 1908 the stream rose to within sixteen inches
of the 1902 record. The 1908 record was 2142.68 feet above sea level (Canadian Pacific Railway
datum). In 1897 a very high flood also occurred.

Progress of the Flood.

Plate B 1 shows the progress of the crest of the flood from the lowest stations on the three
branches to the lowest station (Saskatoon) on the main river.

It is difficult to determine what stream caused the peak at the lower stations. For instance,
it is hard to say if the maximum at Medicine Hat was caused by the waters of the Bow or Oldman
River except by comparison of discharges. From them it would seem that the peak flood was
caused by the Bow River and that it took twenty-four hours for the crest to pass the 168 miles
between Bassano and Medicine Hat, at a rate of 7 miles per hour. The crest of the flood from
the Oldman River apparently reached Medicine Hat about 9 a.m. June 28, or at a rate of approx-
imately 7 miles per hour. From Medicine Hat to Saskatoon, a distance of 400 miles, there is a
difTerence of 108 hours for crests which would allow the upper water to travel at a rate of about
4 miles an hour. The crest from Medicine Hat, however, apparently reached Saskatoon 18 hours
earlier or at a rate of 4.44 miles per hour followed by the crest from the Red Deer River. It
took 131 hours for the Red Deer crest to travel 600 miles or at a rate of 4.6 miles per hour.
Hourly gauge heights and discharges during the flood are given in Table B 2 for Medicine Hat
and B 3 for Saskatoon.

Damage.

There was little damage to property along this stream and there was no loss outside of
some economic* losses at Medicine Hat and Saskatoon.

*The damage caused by floods may be divided into two classes — actual and economic. Under " actual damage "
are classed direct physical losses that are tangible and apparent, a portion of which may be measured in terms of the
expenditure renuired to restore the thing damaged to approximately its condition before the flood ; the rest may be meas-
ured in terms of the monetary value of the thing lost or destroyed. Under the classification "economic damage" are
placed those indirect losses that are, in a sense, presumiJtive. These include losses due to suspension of business and
social relations in the flooded area and in places having such relations with that area; losses due to decreased confidence
in the security of the localities flooded — especially the towns and cities, which may be termed lost prestige; losses due
to general depression and decreased initiative throughout the flooded districts; and losses due to a materially decreased
property valuation. For a former use of these terms see page 86 of the Water-Supply, Paper 334, the Ohio Valley
Flood of March-April. 1913, published by the U. S. Geological Survey.

OLDMAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The Oldman River is the largest of the two streams which on their junction form the South
Saskatchcwmi River.

Th(! main river is formed hotwoon the Rocky Mountains and Livingstone Riuigo by the
junction of l-ivinnHtonc liivcr, Nortliwcst Brjincii, West Briindi and Hact'-liorse Creek. It first
flows HoutlicaHterly until joined by llie Crowsnest and C'jistle Rivers jind then Hows in a general
eaHtern direction to its junction with the How River. There are a nuiiiher of small tributaries
joining the main streani and two large ones, the Helly River and the St. Mary River. These
two streams empty into the river between Madeud ami 1-etlibridge.

Th(! territory drained by tliia stream couHists of mountains, foothills juid prairie. The
nmuntain region ik quite extetisive and is divided into the Main Riuige iuul tlie Livingstone Rtuige
of tiie itociiy Mountains. 'Iliere is a gt»od forest cover on ni.-uiy parts of the mountains tuul

HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

Former Floods.

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

Records of former floods in this basin are not very extensive and it is onlv known that such
floods occurred in 1897, 1899, 1902 and 1908, that of 1908 probably being" the greatest this
basin ever witnessed. At that time it has been estimated that the discharge at Lcthbridge
was 120,000 sec-feet. No reliable data are available for this flood at Macleod or above that
point, owing to the complete change of channel at most point? where such data were obtained.
At Macleod in May 1908 4.7 inches of rain fell, and in June, 6.8 inches as compared with 2.3 and
3.2 inches in 1915.

Causes of Flood of June, 1915.

During the storage period of 1914-15 there was not a very heavy precipitation except in
October, 1914. This, however, came in the form of snow, and most of it went to run-off before
it soaked into the ground to any depth. Therefore there was not very much ground water in
storage or snow on the moimtains when the rains of May started. During May from 2 to 6
inches of rain fell over most of this drainage area, and earlj^ in June a further amount fell, about
equalling the total May precipitation. These rains, which took place almost daily, kept the
atmosphere cool enough to stop any great amount of evaporation, so that the ground was tho-
roughly sodden by June 24 when the exceptionally heavy rains started and continued imtil June27.
Within this time a fall of 3 inches took place in a single day at Lyndon in this basin and as much
as 1.6 inches at other points. This exceptional rain, which fell heaviest north of the Crowsnest
Pass in the foothills, of course, could not be absorbed by the ground and rapidly pa.ssed intd the
drains, causing the high water on the Oldman River throughout its entire course. (See Introduc-
tion en Precipitation and Temperature.)

Progress of Flood.

The passage of the crest of the flood is shown in Plate B. 1. but it is impossible to give any
definite data as to the time the crest took to pass down the stream, owing to the fact that the
time of the highest water at the upper station is not known.

The following table gives date, approximate time, maximum stage and corresponding
discharge at a number of stations on streams in this basin:

BOW RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN,
General Description.

The Bow River is the smallest in size of the two main branches of the South Saskatchewan
River.

The river receives its main supply from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in the
Rocky Mountain Park of Canada and the adjacent territory, being augmented by the run-off
of the foothills and, to some slight extent, further by that of the prairies through which it
flows after leaving the wooded regions of the foothills and mountains.

The main stream rises in Bow J^ake, north of the Kicking Horse Pass, at an elevation of
6,420 feet above sea level and flows in a southerly direction until it strikes the main line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway at the junction of the Pipestone River when it flows easterly to the
mouth of the Elbow River in the city of Calgary. From Calgary it bends to the south and then
continues in a southeasterly direction to its confluence with the Oldman (Belly) River at the
Grand Forks forming the South Saskatchewan River.

No. 25c— :!ti

554 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1916

6 GEORGE V. A. 1916

The Bow has a number of tributaries which drain large tracts of mountain and foothill
regions lying to the north and south of that drained by the main stream. In the mountain
section the river is joined by the Pipestone and Cascade Rivers from the north and the Spray
and Kananaskis from the south. In the foothills it is augmented by the flow of the Ghost
River from the north and Jumpingpound Creek, and then in the prairie section b}"^ the Elbow and
Highwood Rivers from the south. Below the junction of the Highwood River little drainage
finds its way into the stream.

One of the most noticeable characteristics of the Bow River drainage basin is the number
of lakes on the main stream and its more westerly branches. On the main river at its head
there are the Bow and Hector Lakes; on Louise Creek there is Lake Louise; on the Spray
there are two Spray Lakes; on the Cascade, Lake Minnewanka, and on the Kananaskis the
two Kananaskis Lakes, besides innumerable small lakes on the above mentioned and other
smaller streams. The presence of these lakes and the forest cover over most of the mountain
and foothill region have the effect of regulating the flow to a great extent, but despite these
facts, the stream is subject to floods of some magnitude.

Former Floods.

The report of former floods on the Bow River, published in the " Progress of Stream Measure-
ments for 1912," and written by Mr. P. M. Sauder, Chief Hydrometric Engineer, is complete
and is incorporated verbatim herewith:

"The most destructive flood ever witnessed in the Bow River valley since its settlement
occurred about the middle of June, 1897. It was brought about by a cloudburst near Castle
Mountain, near Canmore, following an abnormal rainfall in the early part of June.

"It is stated that the greatest flood occurred in 1879, but no data regarding this flood are
available.

"Another flood occurred in 1884, but inhabitants who witnessed both floods agree that
the water was a foot higher in 1897 than in 1884.

"Another flood which almost equalled that of 1897 in magnitude and destructiveness occur-
red in the early part of July, 1902.

"Though the hj^drographic records of this office date back to 1894, no systematic and con-
tinuous record of the stages and discharge of Bow River was kept until 1908. These records
extend, with the exception of the winter months during the first two years, to date, but the only
flood of any accoomt during this period occurred in July, 1909. The maximum discharge at
the bridge on the Calgary and Edmonton Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in 1909,
was about 23,000 sec-feet on July 7.

"It is very hard to estimate the loss, but in running over the damage to gardens, fences,
trees, houses, lots, streets, sidewalks, destruction of bridges, railway tracks, etc., the state-
ment is ventured that the loss caused by the flood in 1897 totalled nearly a quarter million
dollars in the vicinity of Calgary alone.

"The rainfall for the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th June, 1897, totalled 2.94, or practically three
inches in three days and a half. During the night of the 17th the river which was already
swollen rose very rapidly, and before midnight overflowed its banks and flooded several houses
on the flats south and west of the Langevin bridge. The city fire brigade and the North West
Mounted Police turned out with teams and waggons, which were kept going nearly all night
moving women, children and furniture from the flooded districts. In all, about sixty families
were driven out of their homes.

"The Eau Claire power plant was flooded, and the dam, which still exists, was in grave
danger. One span of the Bow Marsh bridge, which was just above the present Louise bridge
in the West End of Calgary, was carried away and floating down the river intact struck a pier
of the old Langevin bridge and broke up. Several houses and the Calgary Hydraulic Company's
flume were also carried away by the flood. The middle pier of the old Langevin bridge sank
but the bridge was not carried out, though it could not be reached at all from the south side.

"The Calgary and Edmonton bridge was hot seriously damaged, but the water broke
through the grade on the south bank and carried away a part of it.

"A fine residence on the south bank of the river, about two miles below the city and belong-
ing to Colonel Walker, was dropped into the river by the banks caving in, and was carried to
destruction, the water having cut into the bank for fifty feet or more.

"The bridge over the river on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway east of Calgary
was not damaged and the water did not break through the grade. The railway, however,
suffered very heavy losses at several places west of Calgary. At Shaghiappi Point the track
was washed out and a long stretch of it had to be re-located. From Calgary to Canmore the
track and bridges were damaged and carried out at several places. The mines at Anthracite
were wholly submerged.

"Fish Creek was also very high and at the mouth of this stream Bow River was reported
to be twelve to fourteen feet above low water mark.

"Highwood and Sheep Rivers were also very high and did a great deal of damage. The
trails were in a fearful condition and the whole country seemed to be covered with water.

"A bountiful rainfall during the latter part of June, 1902, and an abnormal dovynpour during
the first few days of July resulted in a second very destructive flood. During the niglit of July 4,
the river overflowed the flats to the south and west of the Langevin bridge in Calgary, and

APPENDIX 555

again the city fire brigade and North West Mounted Police came to the rescue of the unfortunate
inhabitants with waggons and teams. Many barely escaped with their lives. The bridge was
again cut off from the south by the flood and several buildings were damaged, but while the
water was higher at this point than in 1897, the actual damage to property was not as great.
Colonel Walker's bam had to be moved to save it from being carried away. A man named
Wilson living on an island near the old Industrial School below the city had a narrow escape.
He was rescued from the roof of his bam, which just showed above the water.

"The Canadian Pacific Ptailway again suffered much loss by grades and bridges being
damaged and washed out. The water again broke through the grade south of the Calgary
and Edmonton bridge, but the opening under the bridge on the main line east of the city again
carried the floods. The Bow Marsh bridge was in grave danger but was saved by being lashed
to its supports.

"The rainfall in Calgary for the month of May, 1902, was 8.90 inches, and in June 9.82 inches,
while on July 4 and 5, 1.78 inches fell in twenty-four hours. The whole country was flooded
and the Elbow and all tributaries of the Bow were exceedingly high.

"The records of this office indicate that at Langevin bridge the greatest height of the river
in the 1902 flood was a couple of feet higher than in 1897, while the records of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Division Engineer show that at the bridge on the main line east of Calgarj-
it was several inches lower.

"Among the records of the office is an estimate of the maximum discharge at Langevin
bridge during the 1897 flood of 54,000 sec. -feet. It is very difficult at this date with the data
available to compute the discharge, but this estimate was made shortlj' after the flood and by
experienced and intelligent engineers and is, no doubt, fairly accurate.

"The maximum flood discharge of Bow River at the Calgary and Edmonton bridge in 1897
would be 60,000 sec-feet. The maximum discharge in 1902 did not quite reach this amount.

"History goes to show that Bow River is subject to very big floods, and in designing works,
such as dams and bridges, a small amount at least should be added to the greatest known
discharge. Between the mouth of Kananaskis River and Ghost River 40,000 sec. -feet should
be allowed, between the mouth of Ghost River and Jumpingpound Creek, 50,000 sec-feet;
between the mouth of Jumpingpound Creek and Elbow River, 60,0G0 sec. -feet; between the mouth
of Elbow River and Fish Creek, 70,000 sec-feet; between the mouth of Fish Creek and High-
wood River, 75,000 sec-feet; and below Highwood River, 109,000 sec-feet. This discharge
averages 19 cu. ft. per sec. per sq. mile for the drainage area above Calgary,- about 18 cu. ft.
per sec. per sq. mile for the drainage area at the mouth of Highwood River. A run-off of 19
cu. ft. per sec per sq. mile equals a depth of seven-tenths of an inch in twenty-four hours."

Causes of Flood in June, 1916.

The flood of June, 1915, was caused almost entirely by the heavy and continuous rains of
June 25 to 27, which extended over the whole drainage basin. During late May and early
June the basin was subject to heavy rainfalls which on the peaks fell as snow, saturating the
soil cover of the mountains and foothills almost to capacity, and at the same time keeping the
atmosphere in a cloudy and cool condition, thus not allowing the sun to melt the winter sti)res
of snow as usual and reserving them to be melted by the heavy and warm rains of June 25-27.
Fortunately the snowfall during the winter of 1914-i5 was well below normal and while on the
higher peaks there probably was as much snow as usual at this time, at the lower altitudes
there was probably less.

A study of the Bow River drainage above Calgary shows that 46% of the area is at an eleva-
tion of 6000 feet above sea level, A\V'/c between 4000 and 6000 feet and only 12^r below 4(MW feet.
The area ai)(>ve 6000 feet can be taken as above timber lino, and as it is of a rock formation with
little soil cover, can be assumed to be of an iinperineable nature which would shod a very
large percentage of the rainfall as it fell. Between 4000 and 6000 foot may bo taken as the
timbered area on which the cover varies from heavy growths of coniferous to light growths of
deciduous trees. This area is one which retards the run-olT unless the ground is sodden, as
was the case during 1915 due to the rains and slow evaporation of lato May and early June.
Under these conditions a fairly high porcontago of the rainfall would iniinodiatoly booome
run-o(T. The ar((a under 4000 feet is practically all prairie, and like that of between 4000 .and
(iOOO feet was not in late June; of 1915 in a fit condition to retard more th;in a small <iuantity of
the prec^ipitation. The run-off of the upper i)ortions of this basin was rather liigh. ThiMJo
hI reams whi(;h enter the Bow above the Kananaskis all drain areas which for tiie most part are

of 390 sq. miles, discharged 5,380 sec. -ft., Jiine 27. or 14 sec. -ft. per sq. mile, equal to 0.52 inches
over the drainage area. The Ghost and Elbow Rivers drain areas which for the most part are
above 4000 feet and they show the following flows for the mean maximum day; the Ghost on June
26 discharged 8,440 sec.-ft. or 22.5 sec. -ft. per sq. mile, equal to 0.84 inches over the area; the
Elbow, on June 26, discharged 11,728 sec.-ft. or 25 sec.-ft. per sq. mile, equal to 0.93 inches over
the area. Jumpingpoimd Creek, which drains an area of 185 sq. miles at an elevation of between
4000 and 6000 feet, with only a few square miles over 6000, had a maximum mean daih' discharge
of 5,784 sec.-ft. June 26, or 32 sec.-ft. per sq. mile, equal to 1.19 inches over the area. These
records go to show that the greatest run-off took place from the area between 4000 and 6000
feet, or from the timbered section. This part of the drainage had little or no snow on it,
therefore the run-off would be directly due to rainfall.

Precipitation and Temperature.

Meteorological stations are maintained at Lake Louise and BanfT on the headwaters, and
at Calgary, Pekisko, Okotoks and Brooks on the lower portions of the main stream or trib-
utaries.

At Lake Louise (at an elevation 5,044 feet above sea level) the records for June show the
mean temperature as 46.8 and the total precipitation as 5.70 inches, with a maximum for a single
day of 2.17 inches. There were 18 days of rainfall with 0.01 inches or more and 12 fair days.
At Banff (at an elevation of 4,542 feet) the mean temperature for June was 50.2, the total precipita-
tion 6.05 inches, with a maximum fall of 1.97 inches. There were 20 days of rain and 10 fair
days. These two stations would give the total average fall for the mountain region as being
5.^ inches, with a maximum fall for a single day of 2.07 inches and a mean temperature of 48,5
degrees. As both these stations are in the valley it may be assumed that for the higher eleva-
tions the precipitation was above this, and the temperature was lower.

The precipitation over the area between Calgary and Banff was rather heavy and probably
was nearer the Banff records than those of Calgary. The rainfall, for instance, over the Jump-
ingpoimd catchment area, which is nearer to Calgary than to Banff, must have been greater
than the mean of these two points. Assuming it as a mean of the heaviest fall at Banff and
Calgary, it would be 1.32 inches and the run-off for the maximum day would therefore be 90%
of the rainfall, which is exceptionally high. The area in the foothills is not covered by the
meteorological records, and those of the border between the foothills and prairie show for this
section a mean temperature for Jime of 50.8 degrees and a total precipitation of 6.54 inches and
a mean daily maximum of 1.16 inches. The highest precipitation for the whole basin is shown
at Pekisko, where the total for the month is 10.02 inches, with a maximum for a single day of
1.74 inches. Pekisko is just in the foothills and on the headwaters of Highwood River.

Progress of the Flood.

The progress of the fiood is well shown by the graphs on plate D 1 and on table D4.

The streams entering the river in the mountain sections west of Banff began to rise June 25
and reached their maximum on June 26; those at and east of Banff in the same area reached
their maximum June 27. The Ghost, Jumpingpound and Elbow began to rise during the night
of June 25-26 and reached their maximum during the day of June 26. This allowed the floods
on the lower streams to reach the main river and drain away before those of the upper streams
reached the main river and more particularly the lower reaches of the main river. If conditions
had been such that the western streams had emptied their maximum flows into the river at
such a time as to allow their crest to be augm.ented by those of the lower streams, a vastly more
destructive and serious flood would have resulted.

The crest on the main stream reached Lake Louise about 1 p.m. on Jime 26 and a stage of
9.54feet, with an estimated discharge of 2,985 sec.-ft.; at Banff the crest arrived about 10.30 a.m.
on June 27 and a stage of 10.39 feet, with an estimated discharge of 8,600 sec.-ft.; at Kananaskis
about 10.30 a.m. on June 28 and a stage of 5.20 feet, with an estimated flow of 17,860 sec.-ft.;
Calgary was reached at 5 p.m. Jime 26, with a stage of 11.15 (automatic record) or 12.50 (chain
gauge record) and a flow of 39,780 sec.-ft. This is about 0.04 feet higher than the flood of 1902
and 1.95 feet lower than that of 1897. At Bassano the crest arrived at 8.30 p.m., June 27, with
a gauge height of 14.70 feet and an estimated discharge of 69,156 sec.-ft.

The Pipestone reached its crest about 2 p.m., June 26, with a stage of 7.52 feet and a flow
of 1,590 sec.-ft. The Spray reached its crest, June 26, with a stage of 7.55 feet and a flow of
2,318 .sec.-ft. The Cascade, owing to the dam near Bankhead, did not reach its maximum
until June 28, when the gates were opened. The Kananaskis was at its highest June 27, with a
stage of 8.55 feet and a flow of 5,380 sec.-ft. The Ghost reached its peak June 26, with a stage
of 10.17 feet and a discharge of 9,495 sec.-ft. Jumping])ound Creek about 8 p.m., June 26,
reached a stage of 6.59 feet and a discharge of 5,784 sec.-ft. The Elbow about 6 p.m., June 26,
was at a stage of 10.40 feet and a discharge of 13,850 sec.-ft. The Highwood River at High River
reached its maximum stage about 6 a.m., June 26, at 9.85 feet with a flow of 9,300 sec.-ft. In
addition to the flow through the river channel there were some 5,000 sec.-ft. diverted through
Little Bowditchand Lineham spillway at that time. Sheep River at Okotoks readied a stage
of 10.80 feet, June 26, about 7 a.m., with a flow of 21,400 sec.-ft. The rate at which tlie flood
travelled down the main river varied to some extent. I'rom Lake Louise to Banff, a distance
of 39 miles, it took 23 hours or at a rate of 1.7 miles per hour, the fall in this distance being
about 11 feet per mile. The peak really reached Banff about 12 midnight, June 2(>-27 (it only

APPENDIX 557

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

rose a few hundredths after that), in 11 hours, or at a rate of 3.5 miles per hour. From Banff to
Kananaskis, a distance of 28.5 miles, with a fall of 12 feet per mile, the flood took 24 hours, or
at the rate of 1.2 miles per hour. The actual rate probably is higher than this, as no doubt
the Banff peak arrived some hours earlier than the maximum crest. As the peak at Calgary
arrived earlier than at Kananaskis it cannot be taken into consideration. From Calgary to
Bassano, a distance of 115 miles, with a fall of about 7 feet per mile, the peak took 27^ hours
or at a rate of 4.2 miles per hour. In this stretch there are three dams which would retard the
rate of flow to some extent. These figures would show that the maximum peak Travelled at
a very slow rate down the stream, which is accounted for by the fact that the flood waters
from the head of the main stream were increased by thoee of the lower tributaries after the
first crest passed. A flood originating west of Banff should reach Calgary in from 30 to 50
hours, or at a rate of 6 to 4 miles per hour.

Stage and Discharge.

Plate D 1 shows the maximum gauge height and a graphic representation of the rise and
fall at all stations on the Bow during the flood. Table D 4 shows the mean daily gauge height
and discharge at these stations for June, 1915, and Table D 3 and D 5 show the hourly gauge
heights and discharges during the flood on the Bow and Elbow Rivers at Calgary.

The maximum gauge height and discharge for the principal stations in the drainage area
have been given elsewhere in this report or may be obtained from the plates or tables.

The total discharge in acre-feet during the flood period at the various stations is given on
Table D 6.

Damages.

The damage caused by the flood of 1915 in this dramage basin was not great. At Lake
Louise the stream flooded its banks but did no damage to property. At Banff the onlv damage
w,as to cellars which were flooded by the flooding of Whiskey Creek, a branch of Fortymile
Creek. This damage would not exceed §1,000.00.

At Bankhead on the Cascade River the damage was quite extensive and included the des-
truction of the Canadian Pacific Railwav dam and a traffic bridge at this point which it would
cost at least 810,000.00 to replace.

A large number of logs were lost on the Ghost River, but otherwise the damage done was
small until Calgary was reached. At Calgary the chief losses from the Bow and Elbow Rivers
was to citv propertv and totalled §47,840.00 divided as follows:

• Public works, §17,400.00; .sewers. §3,250.00; bridges. §15,S70.00; parks. $1,020.00; water-
works, §7,800.00; and damage clftin:s, §2.500.00. The damage to private property was not very
great although a number of cellars of residences, etc., along both streams were flooded. The
chief loser was the Eau Claire Lumber Company which lost about $30,000.00 worth of lumber and
logs at Calgary and on the upper tributaries.

In addition to, the above the Canadian Pacific Railway was put to considerable incon-
venience and expense in keeping the diversion weir of their Western Section Irrigation Project
clear of logs and debris.

Three lives were lost in Calgary during the flood. A workman, clearing debris from the
new Mission (concrete; bridge over the Elbow, fell into the stream aiid was swept away. The
second person to be drowned was a workman who was swept away with one of the sp;uis of the
Centre Street bridge. The third was an employee of the Canadian Pacific Railway who fell
into the Bow while clearing th;- debris from their weir.

The MighwocKl Hiver did not do anv extensive amount of damage except to the intake of
the Little liow Ditch which would anioimt to perhaps $1,000.00, and some slight anioimt of
damage to the mill a High Hiver.

Sheep Creek lloodr-d the t<n\Ti of Okotoks from one to two feet but the damage to private
I)ropert y was not over §2,(J00.(J(). The gas main of the Calgary das Company over Sheep Creek
was destroyed, and, until teniixirarily replaced, cut ofT the supply to Calgary. In addition
to this daiiiiige the Canadi n Pacific Railway tracks along Sheep Creek were iiumdatod and
partly waMlieil out. A rancher crossing Sheep River west of Okotoks was washed out of his
WHgcjii and drcfwned.

'I'he Soulhern Alberta Land Company's dam near Carseland on the How was partially
dcHtroyed causing a loss of §10,0(K).(K).

'l"he total j)rop<'rty damage over the How basin would be between $150, 0tK).0'.)!Uui $JO0,UlK).0O
and the loss of life is placed at four persons. In aildilion to the above attu.-il losses tluTc were

and thus has the effect of raising the stage during floods. The second effect is not found on
all streams but en the Bow it is to some extent, that is the construction of reservoirs along the
main stream and its branches. On the Bow there are at present six dams or weirs. That of
the Calgr.ry Power Company at Seebe and Kananaskis would reservoir a certain amount of
water. Those of the Eau Claire Lumber Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway at
Calgary would retard little water and are really obstructions rather than aids. The Southern
Alberta Land Company's dam at Carseland and that of the Canadian Pacific Railway would
control the flow to a certain extent. On Cascade River the Calgary Power Company have a
dam which would retard most of the flow of this stream for a short period. The cleaning out
of the gravel bars in the Bow and Elbow Rivers at Calgary during the past few years must have
increased the channel to some extent.

The further construction of reservoirs, on the tributaries of the Bow in connection with
power development and the protection of the forest areas will result in a slower run-off and if
the encroachments into the channels are controlled there should not be the same dangers to
settlements along the lower reaches of the stream from future floods.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

RED DEER RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The Red Deer River is the most northerly branch and is the largest tributary of the South
Saskatchewan River. The river drains those portions of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mount-
ains and the adjacent foothills and prairies between and east of the Bow River basin on the
south and the North Saskatchewan River on the north.

A noticeable fact in connection with the drainage basin of the stream is that while its foot-
hill region is fairly extensive, the mountainous portion does not cover a large area. This is
due to the fact that the Bow and North Saskatchewan Rivers have a common divide west of
the Red Deer and thus cut off the drainage from the main range of the Rocky Mountains.

Above the to'wn of Red Deer, 14 per cent of the catchment area is above 6000 feet and 28 per
cent is between 4000 and 6000 feet leaving 58 per cent under 4000 feet, of which perhaps half is
forest covered and unlike the Bow drainage is not almost entirely prairie land.

The main river rises in the Sawback Range of the Rocky Mountains and flows easterly then
northeasterly until near the town of Red Deer. It here turns southeasterly and enters the
South Saskatchewan R,iver just east of the boundary between the provinces of Alberta and
Saskatchewan. The Panther and Little Red Deer Rivers are the most important tributaries
in the foothills section and the Rosebud River in the prairie section.

This stream being partially mountain fed is, of course, subject to high water due to melting
snows but floods on it seem to be almost entirely due to heavy rains.

Former Floods.

Few records of former floods on this stream are available and as regular gaugings have only
been taken since 1911 no reliable data are available. Floods are known to have occurred in
1897, 1899, 1902 and 1908, but nothing is known of their magnitude. Old residents claim
that the flood of 1915 was the greatest which ever occurred.

Causes of Flood of June-July, 1915.

The causes of the flood of 1915 were similar to those of the neighbouring streams, namely
the heavy rains of June 24-27 on the already heavily saturated drainage basin. As the condi-
tions on this basin are similar in most respects to the Bow and North Saskatchewan Rivers
it is not considered necessary to further dwell on this part of the report.

Precipitation and Temperature.

There are only a few meteorological stations in the westerly portions of this drainage basin.
It is, however, assumed that for the whole area, temperature for June was below the average
and that the precipitation was above the average, varying from 5 to 9 inches with a probable
mean of 7 inches over the entire area. (See Introduction re Precipitation and Temperature.)

At Red Deer the mean temperature for June was 51.6 degrees or 2.3" below the average,
the total precipitation 4.81 inches or 0.18 above average with a fall of 2.11 inches on a single day.

At Lacombe the mean temperature was 52.0 degrees with a total precipitation of S.2S inches.
The heaviest fall for a single day was 2.20 inches.

Progress of the Flood.

The progress of the crest of the flood on the Red Deer River cannot be well judgi'd as we
had only the one station on the strejim in June, 1915. The river at Red Deer bog:vn to rise early
in the day oh June 26 and reached its maxiinuiu stage of 19.05 feet with a discharge of tVS.OOO
sec.-ft. about 9 p.m. on June 27. Tlu; crest of the discharge roacijed Druniholler about U) p.m.
on June 28, taking 25 liourH to travel 125 miles, or at a rate of 5 miles i>er hour. The crest re:vol»ed
lOmpresB some time late in the day on June 30, a distance from Drumhcller of some 195 uiiloa.

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

The North Saskatchewan River draws its water supply from the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains. The basin is bounded on the south by that of the Red Deer River and on the north
by that of the Athabaska River. Its principal tributaries in the mountain district are the
Clearwater and Brazeau Rivers. In addition to these there are a great number of smaller
streams draining into the river. From the city of Edmonton the river takes ? north and easterly
course for about forty or fifty miles and then flows in an easterly direction to its junction with
the South Saskatchewan River a few miles east of the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
From this point it is known as the Saskatchewan River. The greater part of the drainage
basin in the prairie section lies to the south of the river and the principal tributaries are the
Vermilion and Battle Rivers, the former emptying into the main stream north and a little west
of the town of Lloydminster and the latter at the town of Battleford.

In the mountain section the North Saskatchewan River and its tributaries have well defined
rocky valleys with a large amoimt of fall and the whole drainage basin is well wooded. The
valley of the stream widens out as it reaches the prairies into large fertile flats. The timber
in this part of the drainage basm is confined mostly to the river valley. The stream bed cjianges
from a rocky and fairly solid formation in the mountain district to a gravel, sandy and very
unstable bed as the river comes out on to the prairies.

The stream receives the greater part of its water supply from the mountains. In conse-
quence, the high water occurs in the liot months of summer, caused by the melting snow from
the mountains. The low-water period occurs in the winter months when there is a minimum
amount of drainage from the whole basin.

To obtain a clear idea of conditions in this drainage basin it is necessary to give a descrip-
tion of the principal characteristics of the different parts of the area. The basin naturally
divides itself into five parts.

The first or upper part consists of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. While this
part of the basin is not the largest in area, the greater part of the run-off is derived from it.
In glaciers and perpetual snows of the higher peaks imiumerable small streams rise and flow

APPENDIX 565

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

eastward, formiDg large streams which empty into the main river. These streams are also fed
by the melting of heavy snows and bj- rains which fall in the mountains at all seasons of the year.
The region, being mountainous, has a tendency under these conditions to discharge a great
quantity of water into the streams in a short time. This is seen each spring, as the mountains,
being for the most part bare of vegetation, are exposed to the sun which melts the winter's
snow in a short time. If this warm weather is accompanied by rain, floods take place. The
lower parts of the mountains and the valleys have a good forest cover and they alone dampen
the eflfects of warm weather. The streams in this part have a slope of from 20 to 500 feet per
mile.

Below the moimtain division are the foothills or second part of the basin. This is the larg-
est in area of the five parts. Here the river heads northeasterly and is joined by a great manj-
rivers of various sizes. The valley of the river becomes better defined and deeper. The country
is hilly and rough but is not as broken as the first part. The whole region has a fairly heavy
precipitation and is well covered with forest. Large tracts of muskeg are found in this region
and while to a certain extent they have a tendency to make the run-off uniform if they become
well saturated, they offer less resistance than bare hillsides to rapid run-off of hea\-y rains. The
slope of the river in this section is probably from five to twenty feet per mile.

From near Edmonton to the mouth of the Vermilion River, the North Saskatchewan River
flows through a park-like country with large stretches of prairie. Few tributaries flow into the
few fiats along the river. The slope of this section averages 1| feet per mile.

The fourth section, from the Vermilion River to Prmce Albert, is principally prairie with
a few stretches of small timber and second growth. The valley of the river is much wider and
the river itself widens out into shallow reaches full of shifting sand bars. Low-h-ing fiats
border the river for the greater part of the course. The slope of this section is half a foot per
mile.

The fifth and last division is from Prince Albert to below the Grand Forks, or junction
with the South Saskatchewan. This section has a slope of \\ feet per mile, made up of a series
of rapids. The valley is not as deep as in the two previovis sections, and the river channel is
better defined. The basin is covered with a fair tree growth with very little prairie land.

Below the fifth section, but on the main Saskatchewan River, is a section which consists of
a chain of lakes and lagoons surrounded by low-lying lands and muskegs, covered with trees.

Former Floods.

From the conditions prevailing on the headwaters in the two upper sections it is seen that
the North Saskatchewan River is liable to floods of a greater or less magnitude, and during
practically each June or July the stage reaches a point which can be considered a flood period
or borders closely on such condition.

Previous to 1915 the worst flood in the past fifty years, and in fact as far as records or mem-
ory goes, took place in August, 1899.

At that time the river reached a height equal to 41.37 feet on our gauges at Edmonton, or
an elevation of 2034.75 feet. Public Works of Canada datum. This height gave a discharge of
approximately 180,000 sec. -ft. from an estimate by Kutter's formula. At Prince Albert the
gauge height reached was equal to 25.9 feet on the gauge or an elevation of 1481.997 feet. I\iblic
Works of Canada datum. This height gives a discharge of 100,000 sec.-ft. by Kutter's formula.

Stories at Prince Albert ivnd Edmonton give records of higher floods, but both seem to
have been caused by ice jams in the spring. The jam at Prince Albert is alleged to have taken
place some 35 or 40 years ago, while that at Edmonton took place over SO years ago.

In HXK) the river reached a gauge height etjual to 37.9 feet on the gauge at Edn\onton j\nd
did consiiJerable damage. Since Augu.st, l',K)7, we have fairly continuous records. ;uid the
highest gauge height reached was 2(1 feet on July 10. 1912. the discharge on this date being about
75,000 sec. -ft.

During the floods <jf 1899 and I'.KX) considerable damage was done all along the river, but
no actual (igureH are available. In 1891> the lnw-level bridge at Edmonton wa.s in process of
construct ion at the time of the flood and it was found lu'cessary to raise the piers eight feet
higher than at first proi)OHed so as to |)ri)vidc for floods of such magnitude. The water reached
to within one ami one-half feet of the tops of the present jiiers at that time.

The (•aus<' of the flood of 1899 is rather hard to decide, but in the writer's opinitui it can be
accounted for by the excessive rains rather than by the melting snows. The inetei>rologioftl
records at lOdmoiiton f<»r .August, 1S<K», gave (i. 43 inches of rainfall or 4.("k{ inches above thenuuith-
ly mean. 'I'Im- mean tempt-rature was 55.7" «>r 3.3" below the monthly me.-m It is very probable
that thesr conditions i>revail<tl to a greater degree in the two upper sections. It is usual to
fitiii th.al I he snow has pnicliially all melted by Augu.st and as ri.-ies had taken place u> June luul
.luly of 1.S99 it is probable that tliis condilitm prevaii<-d in that year. Tln-refore the assumptiiyj
that this flood was caused by rains is borne <»ut. During the whole summer tlie entire bsuiin
had a very heavy rainfall and in tlie two upper sections this rainfall would be store*! to a certain
|)oint when it would run-olT very rapidly and add much of the stored water to tiio exceptionally
heavy rains of .Vugust.

566 HYDROMETRIC SURVEYS, 1915

6 GEORGE V, A. 1916
Causes of Flood of June-July, 1915.

The direct cause of this flood was no doubt the heavy rainfall between June 24 and 27 on
the already thoroughly saturated drainage area. This rainfall was especially heavy on the
upper sections of the basin and in the three days there were fifty-eight hours of continuous rain
and the fall is estimated at approximately sL\ inches by Mr. O. H. Hoover, of this staff, who
was on the headwaters of the main stream at that time. This precipitation on a country which
at best does not retain much of the rainfall and which had already been thoroughly satured by
the heavy rains throughout the earlier part of the month caused sudden and excessive nm-ofTs
in a short period. The run-off from rain was added to by the rapid melting of the snows at this
time.

Owing to the cloudy cold weather early in June the snows of the upper peaks did not melt
as readily as ordinarily, and there was more than the usual amount of snow lying on the upper
peaks on June 24. Fortunately the snowball during the winter of 1914-15 was rather below the
average.

An idea of the run-off of the upper section at this time can be gained by a study of the max-
imum discharge of some of the smaller streams in this locality. A very good example is the
Mistaya River, a stream with a catchment area of some 130 square miles and on which there
are six lakes which regulate the flow to a great extent. This stream reached a maximum
discharge of 2,200 sec.-ft., on June 27, or 17 sec.-ft. per square mile of drainage area. This flow
for a day would be equal to a run-off of 0.63 inches over the entire drainage area. At Wilson's
ranch on the North Saskatchewan River in Tp. 36, Rge. 18, W. 5th Mer., the maximum daily
flow was 21,000 sec.-ft. with a catchment area of 836 square miles. This works out as a nm-off
of 25 sec.-ft. per square mile or 0.93 inches over the drainage area for one day. While these
run-offs are by no means records they are high for the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains
in Alberta.

Precipitation and Temperature.

Owing to the lack of settlement on the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River,
meteorological stations are not maintained and, therefore, no official records are available.

During June Mr. Hoover reported that there were eighteen days of rain and that during
the whole of the early part of the month the temperature was low and the weather cloudy.

At Mountain Park (on the headwaters of the Macleod River at an elevation of 3,891 feet
above sea level) the records for June show the mean temperature at 45.2 and the total precipita-
tion as 12.26 inches with a maximum of 3.35 inches on a single day. There were twenty-one
days on which 0.01 inch or more fell and nine fair days. At Banff (on tjie Bow River at an eleva-
tion of 4,534 feet above sea level) the records for June show the mean temperature as 50.2 or
1.1 degrees below the mean of twenty years, and the total precipitation as 6.05 inches or 2.86
inches above the average with a maximum fall of 1.97 inches on a single day. There were
twenty days with 0.01 inch of rain or more, and ten fair days. As the mountains on the head-
waters of the North Saskatchewan drainage lie midway between these two stations it may be
assumed that a mean of their records could be assumed as an average for this part of the basin.
The mean temperature thus obtained is 47.7° and the total precipitation 9.16 inches. Using in
addition the records obtained at Red Deer (which is to the southeast of the headwaters of the
North Saskatchewan) and those at Edmonton (on the northeast of the headwaters of the North
Saskatchewan) we find that the mean temperature was 50.3 degrees and the mean total preci-
pitation was 7.14 inches. As the catchment area of the headwaters of th6- North Saskatchewan
River lies within the trapezoid bounded at the corners by Banff, Mountain Park, Edmonton
and Red Deer, the records for these points should give a very fair average for the whole area.
(See Precif)itation and Temperature introduction.)

Progress of the Flood. ^

The progress of the crest of the flood down the stream is clearly shown by the graphs on
Plates F 1 and F 2.

The most westerly streams rising m and draining the main range of the Rocky Mountains
started to rise during the night of June 24-25 and reached their maximum about noon June 27.
Those streams draining large areas east of the main range started to rise during the day on
June 25 and reached their maximum about 10 a.m., Jime 27, or about the same time. This allowed
the drainage of the lower altitudes to pass off before that of the higher reached the main stream.

The crest on the main stream reached Rocky Mountain House about 2 a.m., June 27, with
a stage of 23.38 feet and an estimated discharge of 145,000 sec.-ft. At Rocky Rapids the crest
arrived about 10p.m., June 27, and Edmonton about 11 p.m., June 28, with a stage of 45.04 feet
or 3.75 feet above any previous known stage and with an estimated flow of 204,500 sec.-ft.
Battleford was reached about 5 p.m., June 30, Ceepce about 6 p.m., July 1, and Prince Albert at
1 p.m., July 2, with a stage of 26.42 feet, or 0.5 foot above the previous highest record, that of
1899, and a maximum discharge of 200,000 sec.-ft.

APPENDIX 567

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25c

The rate of progress of the flood seems to have varied very greatly. From Wilson's ranch
in Tp. 36, Rge. 18, W. 5th Mer., to Saunders' siding in Tp. 40, Rge. 13, W. 5th Mer., a distance
of fifty miles and an approximate fall in elevation of 13.4 feet a mile, it took some sLx hours, or
at a rate of 8.33 miles per hour; from Saunders' siding to Rocky Mountain House, a distance
of forty-five miles, with a fall of 12.5 feet per mile, it arrived some twenty-one hours earlier.
This was no doubt due to the flood on Sheep and Clearwater Rivers arriving before that on the
main stream. From Rocky Mountain House to Rocky Rapids, a distance of 80 miles with a
mean fall of approximately 5.5 feet per mile, the crest took twenty hours, or at a rate of flow of
four miles per hour; from Rocky Rapids to Edmonton, a distance of 102 miles, and a fall of
6.6 feet per mile, it took twenty-five hours, or a rate of flow of 4.1 miles per hour; Edmonton
to Battleford, 320 miles, with a fall of 1.6 feet per mile, forty-two hours, or a rate of flow of 7.6
miles per hour; from Battleford to Ceepee, sixty miles, with a fall of 0.9 foot per mile, twenty-
five hours, or a rate of flow of 2.4 miles per hour; from Ceepee to Prince Albert, 98 miles, with
1'. fall of 0.9 foot per mile, nineteen hours, or a rate of 5.2 miles per hour; from Battleford to
Prince Albert, a distance of 158 miles, forty-four hours or at a rate of 3.6 miles per hour; from
Edmonton to Prince Albert it took eighty-six hours to travel the 478 miles, or at a rate of 5.56
miles per hour.

Stage and Discharge.

Plate F 1 shows the maximum gauge height at all stations affected by flood conditions in
the drainage basin; also a graphic representation of the rate of rise and fall at most stations.
Tables F 3 and F 4 show the main daily gauge heights and discharges at various stations for
June and July, 1915, and tables F 5, F 6, F 7 and F 8, show hourly gauge heights and discharges
at Edmonton, Battleford and Prince Albert for six days during the flood.

The maximum gauge height and discharge at the several stations has been given in the
body of this report or may be obtained from the plates or tables.

The total discharge in acre-feet during the flood period at Rocky Mountain House was
885,874 acre-feet; at Edmonton 1,190,475 acre-feet and at Prince Albert 987,102 acre-feet.

Damages.

The total damages caused by the flood are hard to accurately arrive at owing to the impos-
sibility of making an accurate and exhaustive survey of such damages.

Above the mouth of the Clearwater River the only damages were to trails and to the grade
of the Canadian Northern railway (Brazeau branch). These losses would total to at least
$30,000, principally to the railway whose grade was destroyed in a number of places. On the
Clearwater River a new traffic bridge, about two miles from the mouth, was completely
destroyed with a loss of $2,500. At Rocky Mountain House the ferry was destroyed as well as
the cable' station of this branch. The cost of replacing the ferry was some SI, 000 :\nd the
cable station some $150. The cable station at Rocky Rapids, owned by Sir John Jackson
Company(Canada),was taken out, and it is estimated that it will cost at least $1,000 to replace it.
The greatest amount of damage done was at Edmonton where the direct losses are estimated
at from $500,000 to $750,000; the loss to the municipality being $17,500 caused by daniages
to sidewalks, road.s and other property; the balance of losses being due to the inimdating of
the lower parts of the towii known a.s Eraser, Ross and Mill Crock and Ciallagher Hats, the w:ish-
ing away of the Edmonton Lumber C'oinpany's mill and the destruction of booms belonging
to the Edmonton Lumber Comjjany and the \Valtors' mills. Mtmy homes were destroyed and
the damage to hundreds of others and llieir contents was very great. It is estimated that eight
hundred fumilies were rendered homeless by tlie flood. The loss of life W!is fortunately very
light, tlie only casualty being an infant which was dropped by its mother from a floating side
walk intij the Hooded street. The river began to flood over its banks at gauge height, 35.0 feet,
at EdiiHuiton and thus there was a depth of 10 feet of water at some points o!\ tiie tlats. The
city el(!(!tri(! light and i)umping i)laiits at Edmonton were out of conunission for some hours
owing to flooding of their i)oiler lin s and this caused considerable inconvenience to numbers
of buHincHHCH and residents in the liigher j)arts of the city.

Tlie damage to property along the nv'er below Edmonton was not very great, a few farms
along the (lats were inundated iind at Battleford several houses were Hooded. .\t Prince
Albert (he princip,!,! damuge was due (o losses of logs which was well uiuler $10, (KK).

At I'ldiiionlon the low level iiridge was in dangtT owing to debris such as builiiings, side-
walks, logs and roots collecting on the piers and bridge stringers, but this structure was saved
by clearing this debris away and by placing a loaded train on the bridge. The same proceduro
was c;irrie<l out at I'rince .Mherl wliere muih debris colleited on the piers. .\t tVepee. the
Cana<!ian Northern Railway bridge appro.iches were damaged to some slight evtenf .

It is |>robalile that (he loljil jictual daiuiige on the whole stn'aii\ amounted to between
$750, ()()() and .'s: 1 ,001), 0(10. In acMition to the damage to property the stream channel !it maiiv
points was (•oiiiple(ely <iliange<l. Manks and low Hats were washed away and depositctl at dii-
forent points along the river and there is probably little of (he river bed which wjm not cluuiKod
to Home extent. In general the river channel has been enlarged wl»ich will provide more roont
for Hueh Hoods if (hev occur in the near fu(ure.

ATHABASKA RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN.
General Description.

Athabaska, River rises on the eastern slope of Rocky [Mountains and flows in a northeasterly
direction for about one thousand miles, eventually emptying into Lake Athabaska.

The Athabaska basin forms the most southerly portion of the great Mackenzie system and
the portion dealt with in this report comprises only the headwaters.

Rising in country very similar to the watershed of the other streams of importance in Alberta
it flows out of the movmtatns and then through foothill coimtry. From the foothills to the
lake the basin consists of stretches of muskeg and uplands, well timbered with spruce and pine.

The general character of the basin is such that the winter precipitation or snow cover is
conserved to a great extent ftnd floods in the early spring are not usual. However, in June,
July and August, rains and warm winds cause the upper parts of the system to discharge large
quantities of the snow water from the higher peaks and glaciers and when rains of any magnitude
occur the invariable result is a flood. The muskeg country is a great source of storage, but when
its capacity is reached, it accelerates rather then retards the rim-off.

The principal tributaries of the upper part of this stream from its headwaters eastward
entering from the south are Maligne, Rocky, Macleod and Pembina Rivers, and from the north
and west Whirlpool, Miette, Snaring, Stony and Baptiste Rivers. Lower down on its^course
it is augmented by the Lesser Slave, Moose, Clearwater Rivers and a number of lesser streams.

Former Floods.

No records of previous floods on this stream are available although such floods are known
to have occurred. That of 1899 probably was the largest in recent years.

Mr. Swift, the oldest resident of the Yellowhead pass, stated that the flood of 1915 was the
largest he has witnessed at Jasper; however, at Athabaska it did not reach as high a stage as
previous floods.

Causes of the Flood of June, 1915.

The precipitation on the headwaters of the Athabaska and those streams rising south of
the Yellowhead Pass was high in June and on the headwaters of the Macleod at Mountain Park
reached the excessive total of 12.26 inches, with a fall of 3.35 inches on a single day. This was
probably over a small area only but may have covered a larger extent. The conditions of this
part of the basin were similar to those to the south and were therefore in fit condition for rapid
run-off s. (See Introduction re Precipitation and Temperature.)

Progress of the Flood.

The .Vthabaska at Jasper began to rise on June 25, and reached its maximum about 4 a.m.,
June 27, with a stage of 10.20 feet and flow of 19,500 sec.-ft. The Macleod at Thornton began
to rise June 26, and was at its crest June 27, about 10 p.m., with a stage of 14.13 feet and flow
of 23,850 sec.-ft. The Athabaska at Athabaska began to rise on June 28 and on June 30 at 6 a.m.
reached a stage of 16.5 feet with a discharge of 101,800 sec.-ft. Plate G 1 shows the progress
of the crest of the flood down the stream in a clear manner.

Damages.

The floods in this basin did not do a great deal of damage as there is little settlement close
to the banks of any of the streams. The tracks of the (irarul Trunk Pacific and Ganadian
Northern r:ulways along the Athabaska were damaged to some extent by washouts and slides.

1. When the priority of a name has been established by publieatiou, particularly
when 6uch publication has occurred in any standard or authoritative •work or works,
that name should, if possible, be retained.

2. Wien names have been changed or corrected, if not too firmly established by
local usage or otherwise, the original forms should be restored.

3. In cases where what was evidently originally the same word, appears with
various spellings sanctioned by local usage or otherwise, these various spellings when
applied to different features should be regarded as in effect different names, and as
a rule it is inadvisable to attempt to produce uniformity.

4. As a rule the first published name should be retained, but where a choice is
offered between two or more names for the same place or locality, all sanctioned by
local usage, that which is most appropriate and euphonious should be adopted.

5. The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done without destroy-
ing the euphony of the name or changing its descriptive application. Where the pes
eessive form is retained, the apostrophe should be dropped*.

6. It is desirable to avoid the use of hyphens to connect parts of Indian name*

7. Names consisting of more than one word may be connected by hyphens or
combined in one word as may be advisable.

8. It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts of names.

9. The form " canyon" may be used instead of '' canon," but the latter is prefer-
able.

10. The term " brook " is considered preferable to " creek " for designating small
streams, and will be adopted in cases where the latter has not become too firmly fixed.

11. The Board suggests that the initial letters of generic or descriptive parts of
geographical names, when used in reports or other documents, should not be capitals.

12. The \ise of alternative names should be discontinued where possible or not
inconvenient.

13. Geographical names in a foreign country should be rendered in the form
adopted by that country, except where there are English equivalents already fixed by
usage.

14. French names in Canada are to be spelt, accented, hyphenated, &c.. accord-
ing to the rules of the French language.

15. In cases where names already exist, and have been published in both English
and French form and have been sanctioned by long usage, no attempt shall be made
to abolish either form, but both may be recognized and published in the Board's lists
(pf decisions and it sliall bo dcciiUHl correct to use either form in ofticial documents in
either language. In all other cases any duplication of form shall be discouraged and
preference shall bo given to the form which has priority of origin, whether this be
Fnglish or French.

10. In English text and map printing, the use of hyphens for composite French
names, though it is recommended, shall not be considered obligatory.

17. The spelling of native geographical names should reprt^ent. approximately,
the true sounds of the words as pronounced in the native tongue. In the ortho-
graphy of names of Indian origin in the province of Quebec, the rules of the Board.
haso<l on those of the Koyal rieogrnphical Society, are preferable to Frencli ]ir:u'tiee
as being simpler and in accordance with int<rnationnl usage, and shall be fi^llewed
in the case of now names.

IW. Wliero n generic descriptive term, sm-h ii< Tape. Bay. Kiver, etc. i> HvKUd
to n nnnie. it is jwrmissible to translate such term into French for uso in French

publications, or into English for use in English publications, if it can be done witli-
out producing a mixture of English and French.

19. The Board adopts the rules of the Koyal Geographical Society for the ortho-
graphy of geographical names, of which the broad features are as follows : —

(a) The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and the consonants as in Eng-
lish.

(&) Every letter is pronounced, and no redundant letters are introduced. When
two vowels come together each one is sounded, though the result, when
spoken quickly, is sometimes scarcely to be distinguished from a single
sound, as in ai, au, ei.

(c) One accent only is used, the acute, to denote the syllable on which stress is
laid. This is very important, as the sounds of many names are entirely
altered by the misplacement of this " stress."

The follou'ing amplification of the foregoing rules explains their application: —
