Essential reference on New York’s stream measurements and water flow

This authoritative report explains how officials monitor the volume and movement of water across the state. It covers the cooperative project with the United States Geological Survey and the methods used to obtain accurate stream flow data, including current meters and gauge readings.

The volume and timing of water are shown through detailed tables and accompanying hydrographs. Readers will see how stations are chosen, how measurements are collected, and how results are used to plan water supplies and powers for cities and industries. The edition also discusses the goals for expanding this program to more streams.

How gauges and meters capture daily water flow and level data
The role of dams, weirs, and head-gates in measuring discharge
How hydrographs visualize patterns of high and low water
Practical implications for water supply and hydropower planning

Ideal for readers of hydrology, public works, and historic state water resource programs who want insight into early 20th‑century stream gauging and data collection in New York.
