About this gauge

USGS gauge 02307323 sits on Brooker Creek and reads everything draining 17 square miles of the Tampa Bay basin. Its datum sits 26 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1971, 41 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 Brooker Creek near Tarpon Springs FL at 30 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 57% of the water measured there. It then enters Lake Tarpon Canal at S-551, near Oldsmar FL, below which releases set the flow.
