Weir Instrumentation lor River Management
In 1958, the state of New Jersey began construction of two storage projects. One of these, known as Spruce Run, is an on‐river reservoir with a capacity of 11 bil gal. The other is an off‐river pumped‐storage project with a reservoir capacity of 55 bil gal. The operational plan of these projects included the release of stored water into the stream channels below the dams, which would then flow into diversion points further downstream. By utilizing the normal flows in the Raritan River basin, the useful water produced by the project was greatly increased over the amount which would be available if the lakes were tapped directly. This article discusses studies conducted on the management of the water releases so that the maximum use could be obtained with a minimum amount of waste. Special wier instruments were installed in addition to long‐established U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations, which were effective in pinpointing the exact problems facing the project.
