HYDROLOGY OP MASSACHUSETTSPART 1. SUMMARY OP STREAM-PLOW AND PRECIPITATION RECORDSINTRODUCTIONThe conservation of the water resources of Massachusetts for ourselves and for future generations is of vital importance to all thoseinterested in the welfare of this section of our country.Flood controland the works connected therewith, flood forecasting, hydro-power developments, the safety of hydraulic structures, domestic and industrial watersupply development, pollution abatement, and other sanitary measures aresome of the modern problems in the use of water and its control whichdemand continuous, comprehensive, and dependable hydrologic data.An adequate supp.ly of water is essential to all forms of life and tomost human activities and has been important in the development of theCommonwealth.The limiting effect of this resource on human activitiesis becoming more apparent with the increase of population, the rise Instandards of living, and the greater variety of purposes for which wateris used.The public does not care how much or how little there is inthe supply as long as there is ample water for all uses.The publicinterest becomes acute in times of drought which limits use of water orin times of flood which destroys property.The basis for the use of hydrologic data on precipitation, floods,stream flow, and ground-water fluctuations is the assumption that climateand its resulting hydrologic events which have occurred in the past willoccur in about the same manner in the future, and that a record of pastoccurrences, if of sufficient duration, is a preview of future occurrences.The oldest continuous precipitation record in Massachusetts is thatat New Bedford which was started in 1814 by Samuel Rodman.Other inter-ested individuals and companies and various' State departments gradually.started to collect precipitation records.Bureau first obtained records in 1888.The United States WeatherLater the Weather Bureau as-sembled and published records collected by various individuals, companies, and local and State agencies.Methods of-collection were standard-ized so that the records would be comparable.The first stream-flow record in Massachusetts and probably the oldest in the country is that for Merrimack River at Lowell which was started by J. B. Francis in 1848.This record is not complete because thedischarge is for the 10-hour period each day when mills were in operation.1
2HYDROLOGY OP MASSACHUSETTSOther Individuals, companies, and State organizations started, to collectdata usually at points where there was a specific power or water-supplydevelopment.The Geological Survey established a gaging station on theConnecticut River at Sunderland in 1904.It was not until 1909, when theGeological Survey and the Commonwealth entered into a cooperative agreement, that a substantial beginning toward the systematic collection ofstream-flow records was made.The work has been continued and enlargedgradually so that records have been collected at about 75 stations inMassachusetts.In September 1945, fifty-six gaging stations were beingmaintained in Massachusetts by the Geological Survey and the cooperatingagencies.The records have been published annually and are scatteredthrough 48 reports, many of which are out of print.Some of the recordshave been revised after publication on basis of later data and officeanalyses.The revisions, which are contained in later reports, areoften overlooked by the user of the data.The individual summariesgiven In the prese
