About this gauge

USGS gauge 07276000 sits on the Coldwater River and reads everything draining 218 square miles of the Coldwater basin. Its datum sits 245 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1940 to 2024, 14 years in all.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Coldwater River near Olive Branch, MS, reading 191 square miles. This gauge adds the 27 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Arkabutla Lake near Arkabutla, Miss at 1,000 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 22% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Coldwater River runs a median of 80 cfs at this gauge across 14 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 289 cfs, and October the leanest at 50 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 21,400 cfs in 1946, and the lowest is 16 cfs in 1947.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1940 to 2024. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.
