About this gauge

USGS gauge 02110701 sits on Crabtree Swamp and reads everything draining 19 square miles of the Waccamaw basin. Its datum sits 9 feet below sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2000, 19 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 Waccamaw River at Conway Marina at Conway, SC at 1,440 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there.
