Streamflow and sediment data collected at seven stream-gaging stations in the James River basin downstream from Forestburg, South Dakota, from October 1, 1982 to September 30, 1983

A compilation of streamflow and suspended-sediment data collected from October 1, 1982, to September 30, 1983, at seven gaging stations in the James River basin downstream from Forestburg, South Dakota, is presented in tabular and graphic form. Three of the gaging stations are on the main stem and four are on tributary streams. These are the results from the second year of a two-year study in cooperation with the Lower James Conservancy Sub-District. The data listed in the tables and figures include location, a summary of the streamflow for the period of record, tables listing the daily streamflow, mean suspended-sediment concentration, and suspended-sediment discharge; and figures showing the daily streamflow, mean suspended-sediment concentration and suspended-sediment discharge for each gaging station. Sandbars are developing in the river and this data is to be used in studies analyzing sources of the sediment and tributary sediment loads relative to those carried by the main stem. (USGS)

The stream-gaging program in South Dakota

This report documents the results of a study of the uses, funding, and availability of the streamflow information program in South Dakota. In 1983, 107 continuous-record surface-water gaging stations were being operated in South Dakota on a budget of $607,050. Data from most stations have multiple uses. Data uses and funding sources are identified for each station. All stations have sufficient justification for continuation although 10 are primarily used to provide data for short-term research studies. The continued operation of these 10 stations should be evaluated when the studies have been completed. (USGS)
