About this gauge

USGS gauge 02374250 sits on the Conecuh River and reads everything draining 2,661 square miles of the Lower Conecuh basin. Its datum sits 43 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1999, 27 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 Escambia River near Century, FL at 3,817 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 70% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Conecuh River runs a median of 1,650 cfs at this gauge across 27 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 3,860 cfs, and October the leanest at 803 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 71,900 cfs in 2010, and the lowest is 217 cfs in 2000.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1999 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
