Seite 10 - The following is a list of convenient equivalents for use in hydraulic computations: 1 second-foot equals 40 California miner's inches (law of March 23, 1901). 1 second-foot equals 38.4 Colorado miner's inches. 1 second-foot equals 40 Arizona miner's inches. 1 second-foot equals 7.48 United States gallons per second; equals 448.8 gallons pe minute; equals 646,317 gallons for one day.
Seite 10 - Owing to the confusion arising from its use, it has been defined by law in several States. The California miner's inch is in most common use in the United States and was defined by an act approved March 23, 1901, as follows: "The standard miner's inch of water shall be equivalent or equal to 1 J cubic feet of water per minute, measured through any aperture or orifice.

Seite 8 - ... taken each day. The gage height given in the table represents the elevation of the surface of the water above the zero of the gage. At most stations the gage is read in the morning and in the evening. The discharge measurements and gage heights are the base data from which the other tables are computed. In cases of extensive development it is expected that engineers will use...
