20 <br /> 0 <br /> 0 <br /> 0 <br /> ships to show you what I mean. At Syracuse on August 4, 1921, <br /> the published discharge for that day is 8000 cubic feet per <br /> second, identical with what is given as the bankful capacity Z' <br /> it carried. That water had a gage height of 6.38 feet on the 0 <br /> gage. We get down in 1927 and we find that the river carried <br /> 0 <br /> a discharge that day of 8320 at a gage height of 6.22. Thus <br /> we have an increased discharge with a decreased gage height. <br /> Again we get down in 1938 and we find the river carried 8660 <br /> cubic feet per second at a gage height of 6.06. Then we <br /> get farther through the record, in 1941, May 4, with a dis- <br /> charge of 7610 we had a gage height of 7. 44, or a rising <br /> stage of a little over a foot , with slightly less discharge . <br /> Coming down later, then , toward the end of the period we <br /> find on April 30, 1942, a discharge of 8810 second feet with <br /> a gage height of 7.16. Thus we have through that period <br /> from 1921 to 1942, inclusive, a fluctuation in stage in rela- <br /> tion to discharge. <br /> It wasn't possible always to find points where the dis- <br /> charge on that day was exactly 8300. The process here was to <br /> take those discharges that were as nearly as possible to 8000 <br /> and pick off the corresponding gage heights. <br /> I am going to give you just three stage discharge relation- <br /> ships at Garden City, and then drop this point . The bankful <br /> capacity at Garden City was 7000 cubic feet per second on <br /> August 6, 1927, and the river carried 7240 cubic feet per <br />
