  • Due to a lapse in appropriations, the majority of USGS websites may not be up to date and may not reflect current conditions. Websites displaying real-time data, such as Earthquake and Water and information needed for public health and safety will be updated with limited support. Additionally, USGS will not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted. For more information, please see www.doi.gov/shutdown.

ICE EFFECTS ON STREAMFLOW

The formation of ice on rivers can cause discharge values to appear unusually high. Display of these erroneous discharge data may result in improper assessment of flow conditions and misuse of the data. For this reason, display of discharge values for streams significantly affected by ice may be disabled from view. Display of discharge data will resume when ice conditions are no longer present. Discharge values for streams minimally affected by ice will continue to be displayed. Flows for streams with these conditions appear to increase during the night and decrease to near-base-line conditions around midday. To estimate the correct discharge for these streams, use the flow rate that corresponds to the bottom of the discharge curve, rather than the peak that corresponds to the top of the curve. Note that this method of estimation is possible only when no surface runoff is occurring. Daily mean discharges for periods of both significant and minimal ice-effect will be estimated and published in the Annual Water-Data Report for the water year in which they occurred.

DRAINAGE AREA--372 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD--Discharge: August 1914 to June 1915 (twice-daily gage heights and corresponding discharge), July 1915 to current year.
Water-quality records: Water years 1953, 1965–66, 1994.
REVISED RECORDS--WSP 641: 1920(M). WSP 781: 1928(M), 1933(M). WSP 1301: 1915(M). WDR MA-RI-84-1: drainage area.
GAGE--Data Collection Platform with satellite telemeter. Elevation of gage is 388 ft NAVD 1988, from topographic map. Prior to June 30, 1915, nonrecording gage, June 30, 1915, to Sept. 20, 1938, water-stage recorder, and Sept. 21 to Dec. 31, 1938, non- recording gage, at site 2.2 mi upstream at different datum. Jan. 1 to Mar. 29, 1939, nonrecording gage, and Mar. 30, 1939, to Sept. 12, 1941, water-stage recorder, at site 0.4 mi downstream at different datum.
REMARKS--Flow regulated by powerplants and by Lake Monomonac and other reservoirs; high flow regulated by Birch Hill Reservoir 22 mi upstream since 1941 and Tully Lake since 1948. Greater regulation by powerplants prior to 1966.
COOPERATION BY--Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, Office of Water Resources.
