DIVISION OF HYDROGRAPHY. 



Honolulu, November 7, 1914. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 



Gentlemen: — The following report of operations of the 

 Division of Hydrography during October, 1914, is submitted : 



rainfall. 



The long period of exceptionally heavy rainfall terminated 

 with the heavy storm of September 22-27, and since that time 

 the precipitation on all islands has been about nnrmal. All 

 streams have measured their normal low water flow. 



FLOOD DAMAGE. 



A visit to the new mauka stream gaging- station on windward 

 Kauai early in October showed considerable damage done to the 

 stations on the Waioli, Lumahai and Hanalei rivers. All con- 

 struction work and ec|uipment were intact, the damage resulting 

 from the stream channels being checked with boulders, gravel 

 and debris. The floods also demonstrated the fact that the 

 intake pipes of all windward stations were too short and that 

 the new station on the North Wailua river has been established 

 too close to the stream, and with the register shelter about four 

 feet too low. This station was not damaged by the recent 

 floods, but previous flood records which have been furnished us 

 since the late flood show that this stream has reached a flood 

 level at least two feet above the present one. For this reason
