About this gauge
USGS gauge 02141500 sits on the Catawba River and reads everything draining 1,090 square miles of the Upper Catawba basin. Its datum sits 921 feet above sea level NAVD88.
Where this gauge sits in the drainage
Catawba River near Granite Falls, NC sits immediately upstream, so dam releases rather than rainfall set the flow here. Two gauged sites sit upstream of here. The closest is Catawba River near Granite Falls, NC, reading 1,070 square miles. Downstream the next reading comes from Catawba River at NC Highway 16 near Millersville, NC at 1,310 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 83% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Catawba River below Lookout Shoals Dam near Sharon, NC. It then enters Lake Hickory on Catawba River near Taylorsville, NC, below which releases set the flow.
