  an 
  average 
  depth 
  of 
  7 
  feet. 
  Its 
  storage 
  capacity 
  

   is 
  212,444,000 
  cubic 
  feet. 
  The 
  catchment 
  area 
  is 
  147 
  square 
  

   miles. 
  There 
  are 
  also 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  lakes, 
  ponds 
  and 
  reservoirs 
  

   in 
  the 
  upper 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  catchment 
  area 
  of 
  Black 
  river 
  which 
  

   are 
  utilized 
  but 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  specifically 
  mentioned 
  here 
  because 
  

   they

  feeder. 
  This 
  stream 
  flows 
  into 
  Erie 
  canal 
  in 
  the 
  

   western 
  part 
  of 
  Rome. 
  Its 
  catchment 
  area 
  is 
  7 
  square 
  miles, 
  and 
  

   since 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  water 
  furnished 
  by 
  this 
  catchment 
  is 
  so 
  small 
  

   as 
  to 
  be 
  inappreciable, 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  taken 
  into 
  account 
  in 
  the 
  pre- 
  

   ceding 
  tabulation. 
  The 
  minimum 
  flow 
  amounts 
  to 
  about 
  0.3 
  cubic 
  

   foot 
  per 
  second.

  The 
  tributary 
  catchment 
  is 
  5.4 
  square 
  

   miles 
  and 
  its 
  storage 
  capacity 
  318,424,000 
  cubic 
  feet. 
  The

  unites 
  with 
  Chittenango 
  creek 
  9.4 
  

   miles

  The 
  catchment 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  lake 
  is 
  8.7 
  

   square 
  miles, 
  and 
  according 
  to 
  recent 
  determinations 
  the 
  water 
  

   surface 
  is 
  1.7 
  square 
  miles, 
  although 
  in 
  the

  of 
  the 
  Canal 
  

   Department 
  it 
  is 
  stated 
  at 
  2.8

  miles. 
  The 
  outlet 
  is 
  also 
  

   stated 
  to 
  be 
  so 
  controlled 
  as 
  to 
  afford 
  a 
  storage 
  of 
  348,523,000 
  

   cubic 
  feet 
  by 
  drawing 
  off 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  4.5 
  feet. 
  This 
  depth 
  on 
  an 
  

   area 
  of 
  1.7 
  square 
  miles 
  gives 
  a 
  storage 
  of 
  only 
  206,997,000 
  

   cubic 
  feet.
