USGS 04247000 ONEIDA RIVER NEAR EUCLID NY

 

PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION

 
 
  LOCATION.--Lat 43°12'18", long 76°13'05", Oswego County, Hydrologic Unit 04140202, on right bank , 50 ft downstream of Morgan Road bridge, 9.2 mi downstream from Oneida Lake, 1.3 mi north of Euclid, and 7.7 mi upstream from mouth at Three Rivers.
DRAINAGE AREA.-- 1,439 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--November 1996 to current year. Records for September 1902 to December 1909, published as "Oneida River near Eucild", and January 1910 to December 1912 and October 1947 to September 1998, published as "Oneida River at Caughdenoy" (station 04246500) at site 7.6 mi upstream, are not equivalent because of regulation between sites.
GAGE.--Acoustic velocity meter, water-stage recorder, and crest-stage gage. Elevation of gage is 370 ft above sea level, from topographic map.
REMARKS.--Records fair except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Considerable seasonal regulation by operation of gates in Oneida and Erie (Barge) Canals with a large amount of natural storage in Oneida Lake. Water may be diverted into or received from Mohawk River basin through summit level of Erie (Barge) Canal between New London and Utica. Nearly all of flow from 14 mi2 of Tioughnioga River basin may be diverted into De Ruyter Reservoir, in Oswego River basin. Telephone and satellite gage-height telemeters at station. Several measurements of water temperature were made during the year.
COOPERATION.--Records of gate openings, lockages, and elevations of water surface in Erie (Barge) Canal above and below Lock 23, furnished by New York State Department of Transportation.
