The first systematic stream gaging in the New-Kanawha River Basin was started by the Geological Survey in 1895, when gaging stations were established on New River at Fayette, W. Va., and on Greenbrier River at Alderson, W. Va. These gaging stations were followed in 1898 by one on New River at Radford, Va., and in 1900 by stations on the New at Oldtown, Va., the North Fork of the New River, N.C. In 1908 twenty-one gaging stations were established at selected sites in the basin in connection with an intensive study of the water supply of the river and its tributaries. Most of the records for these stations cover an 8-year period, though a few cover longer periods and therefore show the ordinary ranges of stage and discharge as well as the average monthly and annual run-off at the gaging stations.
