Show amount of rise was used 1020 as a constant and deducted from his readings , the amount deducted being ( deter- deter ) mined gradually , so that at the end of a day or two ( he lie ) would be back on his original basis . ( R . 4028-4029 . ) Assuming a rise in river continued for several days he had no way of determining how far or what effect that rise would have on the river below where he was ( working workina ) . He had to use his best judgment , by ( notic- notic ) ing that ( debris d6bris ) was being carried down the stream , and other indications . From time to time he corrects his data in order that it may be all tied into one ( sur- sur ) vey . ( R . 4029 . ) He can not state whether or not that method is in accordance with approved engineering practice , ( inas- inas ) much as that particular work was his first experience in river surveys in general , the work commencing the season before being his first on rivers . He has , however , worked on rivers since then . ( R . 4029 . ) The only statement that he can make as to how it is handled ( to-day today ) is an experience that he had on the Clark Fork of the Columbia . He quit work there in the fall and next spring when he came down they had a freshet of ten feet . He simply waited until it had gotten down to within a reasonable distance of where it was when he quit the season before . On mountain streams the rise and fall is very sudden . ( R . 4030 . ) He can not state whether the difference in ( eleva eleva- eleva ) tion between water in the narrow canyons and the open spaces beyond the canyons is less in low water |
