About this gauge

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 Hillsborough River above Crystal Spr near Zephyrhills FL at 82 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 12% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Hillsborough River at Morris Br near Thonotosassa FL, Hillsborough River near Tampa FL and Hillsborough River at Fowler Av near Temple Terrace FL.
