HYDROLOGY
Precipitation
Average annual precipitation for the basin ranges from 31 inches in the northern part of the basin
to 35 inches in the southern portion of the basin (USDA-SCS 1982). The greatest amount of
precipitation usually occurs during June, while the least amount of precipitation generally occurs
during the months of January and February (Figure 2). The basin is covered primarily in glacial
till, and due to the clay content, movement of water to the subsurface is greatly diminished
(Detroy and Skelton 1983). Thus, most rainfall runs off the surface rather than percolating into
the soil. Streams in the basin show rapid flow increases in conjunction with rains, but quickly
return to low flow conditions shortly after runoff ceases (MDNR 1995). Average annual runoff
ranges from five inches in the northern portion of the basin to seven inches in the southern part of
the basin (USDA-SCS 1982).
United States Geological Survey (USGS) Gage Stations
There are five active and 26 inactive USGS water gage stations throughout the Platte River basin
(Appendix C). Two of the active gage stations are located on the 102 River in Iowa, near the
towns of Gravity (crest station) and Bedford (Figure ga). The remaining three active stations are
located in Missouri. One station is located on Little Platte River 2.4 miles below Smithville
Reservoir, one is located at Smithville Reservoir in the dam, and the remaining one is located on
the Platte River at Sharps Station (Figure ga). Discharges at these active gaging stations are
presented in Table 7.
Permanent / Intermittent Streams
Permanency of flow in streams within the Platte River basin is best illustrated on USGS 7.5
minute topographic maps. The USGS identified perennial reaches of streams (defined as having
water 12 months of the year during years of normal precipitation) on these maps with solid blue
lines. Intermittent streams (defined as having water less than 12 months of the year) were
indicated with broken blue lines. A listing of the 7.5 minute quadrangle maps covering each of
the 435 third order and larger streams within the Platte River basin is provided in Appendix D
(Figure to).
Funk (1968) classified Missouri streams as permanent if they maintained flow during drought.
Intermittent streams were defined as those that maintained permanent pools when flow ceased
during drought periods. Based on these criteria, Funk (1968) determined that the entire 138
miles of the Platte River in Missouri had permanent flow. In addition, the entire 70 miles of the
102 River in Missouri maintained permanent flow as well (Table 8). Information on the
permanence / intermittence of flows in smaller tributaries within the basin is presented in Table
8.
Stream Flow
Average annual discharge for the Platte River at Sharps Station, which is 3.3 miles below the
confluence of the Little Platte River in Platte County at river mile 25.1 (98% of the drainage
basin), is 1,925 cfs (Table 7). Examination of the flow duration curve for the Platte River at
HY1
Sharps Station shows that temporal discharge variability within the basin is high (Figure 3). The
highest instantaneous daily flow was 37,800 cfs recorded on July 26, 1993, while the lowest
instantaneous daily flow was 12 cfs recorded on August 7, 8, 13, and 14, 1989. Stream flows
within the basin are generally lowest in January, while peak flows occur during May, June, and
July (Figure 4), and these flows coincide with monthly precipitation values. Low flows in the
Little Platte River below Smithville Dam are maintained at 8 cfs. Hauth (1974) presented flood
magnitudes at various recurrence intervals for several locations within the Platte River basin, and
these are presented in Table 9 .
7-Da y Q2 and Q10Low Flows
Skelton (1976) noted that low-flow characteristics of streams vary among physiographic regions
in Missouri, and that the low-flow potential of most streams in the Dissected Till Plains region is
poor because of the low hydraulic conductivity of the clays and shales in the area. Skelton (1976)
estimated that the 7-day Q2 would be zero for drainage basins less than 100 miles2. In addition,
about 60% of streams with drainage basins of 100 to 200 miles2 would have 7-day Q2 values of
zero, and the remaining streams of this size would have 7-day Q2 values ranging from 0.1 to 1.0
cfs. Skelton (1976) also estimated that the 7-day Q10 would be zero for drainage basins less than
200 miles2 in this region, with about 70% of the streams with drainage basins of 200 to 1,000
miles2 having 7-day Q10values of zero. The remaining 30% would have 7-day Q10 values ranging
from 0.1 to 1.5 cfs. Data from the Platte River basin for seven day low-flows at two and ten year
intervals were reported in Skelton (1970) and Skelton (1976), and these are presented in Table
10. The slope index (the ratio of the 7-day Q2 to 7-day Q20) for the Platte River at Agency was
73.3, and this high value indicates extremely high variability in annual low flows and poor
groundwater supply. The average slope index for ten streams within the Dissected Till Plains
region was 25 (Todd et al. 1994), and ranged from 8.7 in the Grand River near Gallatin to 73.3
for the Platte River. Channelization and watershed modifications were attributed to the wide
range in slope index values within northern Missouri (Todd et al. 1994).
Dam and Hydropower Influences
Smithville Lake, a 7,190-acre impoundment on the Little Platte River, and Mozingo Lake, a
1,000-acre impoundment on Mozingo Creek, are the two largest impoundments within the basin.
In 1984, there were 59 impoundments greater than two surface acres within the Missouri portion
of the basin, and these totaled 635 acres (MDNR 1995). Although no information exists on the
total number of impoundments within the Iowa portion of the basin, ten public impoundments
totaling 1,042 acres were identified. Undoubtedly, the number of impoundments greater than
two acres has increased dramatically throughout the basin since 1984 in association with PL
83-566, SALT, EARTH, and other erosion control projects. Concern exists on what effects these
impoundments have on low flow conditions because they intercept runoff and provide little or no
provisions for maintenance of stream flows. There are no hydropower facilities within the Platte
River basin.
