Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...1893 to 1904. Drainage area above this gaging station, 4,330 square miles. Tlie largest flood in those fifteen years at Waterville occurred on March 2, 1896, when the rate of flow for the day was 111,200 second-feet, or 25.2 second-feet per square mile. The rise was exceedingly rapid, the discharge increasing from about 6,000 to 111,000 secondfeet in twenty-four hours. The greatest flood in the upper part of this basin occurred on Deconiljer 15, 1901. At 8 a. m. only a few second-feet of water were flowing over the dam at Madison, Me., where the drainage area is 2,850 square miles. At midnight the depth of water on the crest of this dam was 14.5 feet and the rate of flow was 105,000 second-feet. At 9 a. in. the next day the water surface had fallen 5.5 fet. The large floods in this basin all occur in the spring or winter and are due to rain and the rapid melting of the winter accumulations of snow. The summer floods are small compared with the spring floods. AXimOSCOGGIN' BIVEIt. The Androscoggin is the outlet of the I'mbagog-Rangeley lakes in western Maine. The basin has a length of about 110 miles, a greatest breadth of 70 miles, and an area of 3,700 square miles. The upper part of the basin is mountainous, broken, and thickly forested; the lower part is hilly, with grass-covered or cultivated slopes. There are 148 lakes in the basin, having a water-surface aren of 312 square miles--that is, about one-twelfth of the basin is water surface. From the foot of Umbagog Lake to the foot of Rumford Falls, a distance of 81 miles, the stream falls 836 feet. The lakes are largely controlled by dams and the storage is useTl mainly for log driving. The range of stage at Lewiston near the mouth is 8 feet; at Bethel, 2S feet. The following table gives the daily rate of...
