Show iiMfcfturfrr IT . 87 sent depth of water . The zero represents nothing excepting the ( starting startiug ) point for the gage heights . The gage height as such has nothing to do with indicating the depth of the water . The gage is simply a means by which the fluctuations from low water to high water can be obtained . On one gage low water might read 20 feet ; on another gage it might be five feet . Neither the zero of the gage nor the gage heights have any relation to the depth ( of of- of ) the river . In using the gage height , the figures as to the height of the water by the gage has no relation to the depth of the water in the stream . To explain that by the gage at Lees ( Perry Ferry ) . The zero of the gage , we will say , is at some point lower ( than fhan ) the surface of the water . It is always ( picked picked- picked ) so that we will never have a minus gage reading , if possible . Now , the lowest gage reading at Lees ( Perry Ferry ) , as indicated ( on oil ) Plate 5 of ( Coinpl Compl ) . Exhibit ( 82-A 82A ) ( , 7 ) is about 6.8 on the gage . When the gage read 13 feet , you would ( know Imow ) that the depth was at . least between 6.8 and 13 ( feet-that feetthat ) the gage would show at least that much . A gage height as used by the Survey is simply a measurement of the surface of the water . It has no relation at all to the depth . The depth of the water does not enter into the gage heights . In connection with the preparation of material , he has attempted to work up from the ( measure measure- measure ) ¬ ments made at the gaging station , which were made |
