On summing up these results, we find that the total volume discharged by the Ohio at Wheeling, for the year 1848, was — 822, 719, 000, 000 cubic feet. Dividing this quantity by 366, we obtain for the average daily discharge for that year — 2, 248, 000, 000 cubic feet. If we now refer to Table VIII. , or to the formula from which that table was constructed, we shall find that the daily average quantity discharged during the year, was just sufficient to have maintained the water upon the Wheeling bar at an uniform height of 8iVu feet.
