About this gauge

USGS gauge 03535200 sits on Beaver C and reads everything draining 56 square miles of the Lower Clinch basin. Daily flow has been on record here since 2006, 20 years of it.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

No gauged site sits above this one on the mainstem, so this is the first published reading on the river. Downstream the next reading comes from Beaver Creek at Solway, TN at 87 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 65% of the water measured there. It then enters Melton Hill Lake, below which releases set the flow.

Normal flows here

Beaver C runs a median of 37 cfs at this gauge across 20 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 104 cfs, and October the leanest at 19 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 3,610 cfs in 2019, and the lowest is 5.5 cfs in 2008.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2006 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
