About this gauge
USGS gauge 01654670 sits on Accotink Creek and reads everything draining 33 square miles of the Middle Potomac-Anacostia-Occoquan basin. Its datum sits 140 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2024, 2 years of it.
Where this gauge sits in the drainage
Accotink Creek below Lake Accotink, VA sits immediately upstream, so dam releases rather than rainfall set the flow here. Three gauged sites sit upstream of here.

Downstream the next reading comes from Accotink Creek below Field Lake Br at Newington, VA at 39 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 86% of the water measured there.
