USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
13207500 DRY CREEK NEAR EAGLE, ID
LOCATION - Lat 43°43'55", long 116°18'15" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NW 1/4 sec.35, T.5 N., R.1 E., Ada County, ID, Hydrologic Unit 17050114, Eagle quad., 80 ft downstream from State Highway 55 (formerly State Highway 15), 500 ft downstream from Spring Valley Creek, 3.6 mi northeast of Eagle, and at mile 4.2.
DRAINAGE AREA - 57.1 mi². revised.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - June 1954 to September 1968, March 2010 to September 2012 (discontinued).
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Elevation of gage is 2,690 ft above NGVD of 1929, from topographic map. Datum of gage prior to September 1968, 2,692.80 ft above NGVD of 1929, unadjusted.
COOPERATION - Idaho Department of Water Resources
REMARKS - No estimated daily discharges. Record fair except for May 23-31, which are poor. Station equipment includes satellite telemetry and crest-stage gage. Diversions above station for irrigation.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 373 ft³/s Jan. 29, 1965, gage height, 4.48 ft; maximum gage height, 4.70 ft Feb. 26, 1957; no flow at times during many years.
ECOLOGICAL RECORDS
REMARKS - Biological samples including periphyton biomass, fish assemblage, and macroinvertebrates were collected on May 30, 2012.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 2011 to October 2012.
PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - November 18, 2011 to October 4, 2012.
COOPERATION - Water-quality and biological data collection in 2011 and 2012 was completed in cooperation with the Lower Boise Watershed Council and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.
INSTRUMENTATION - YSI 6920V2, multi-parameter instrument equipped to monitor water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen (DO) (optical), and turbidity (6136), was installed on November 18, 2011 and was replaced on January 20, 2012 with YSI 6600V2-4 equipped to record the same parameters. The YSI 6600V2-4 was removed and discontinued on October 04, 2012. Parameter readings were recorded at 15-minute intervals and transmited real-time to NWIS web. Any use of trade, product, or firm names in this publication is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by U.S. Government.
REMARKS - Monthly water-quality samples and continuous water-quality data were collected on site between October 2011 and October 2012. Site conditions were not suitable for continuous monitoring of specific conductance and turbidity. Certain periods of continuous data from these constituents are considered extremely poor and are described as follows. SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Corrections greater than 30% or 20 uS/cm occurred from March 12 to March 26, from March 28 to April 9, from May 17 to May 22, and from May 25 to May 31. These date ranges are of extremely poor data quality but were left in the record. TURBIDITY: From December 7 to December 13, 2011 and March 14 to March 15, 2012, data corrections exceeded 30% or 3 FNU. Thes date ranges are of extremely poor data quality but were left in the record.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum, 18.6 °C on July 12, 2012; minimum, 0.2 °C on December 22, 23, 24, 2011, and February 28, 2012. SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Maximum, 990 uS/cm on July 8, 2012; minimum, 93 uS/cm on March 21, 2012. TURBIDITY: Maximum, 470 FNU April 26, 2012; minimum, 0.0 FNU on December 13, 2011, and February 21, 2012. DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Maximum recorded, 12.9 mg/L January 27, 28, February 24, March 2, 7, and 8, 2012; minimum recorded, 1.6 mg/L October 1, 2012.
