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.

USGS Water-Year Summary 2025
01105876 EEL RIVER NR PLYMOUTH, MA
LOCATION - Lat 41°56'30", long 70°37'23" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Plymouth County, MA, Hydrologic Unit 01090002, on right bank, at upstream side of Rt 3A bridge, 2.7 mi southeast of Plymouth. (41.94213, -70.62288)
DRAINAGE AREA - 14.7 mi².  
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - December 1969 to September 1971, October 2006 to October 2020. Discharge record discontinued October 2020.
GAGE - Data Collection Platform with satellite telemeter. Datum of gage is NAVD 1988, estimated from digital map. Datum previously reported as 5 ft above NGVD 1929, estimated from topographic map.
COOPERATION - Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, Office of Water Resources.
REMARKS - Records fair except those for estimated discharges, which are poor. Discharge record discontinued in October 2020. Site is currently only collecting stage record. Occasional backwater from tidal surge. This stream drains from a groundwater basin which is larger or smaller than, and not coincident with, the surface-water basin. The historical peak stage of 9.07 ft on Feb. 9, 2013 affected by backwater from sediment.
