About this gauge

USGS gauge 03306000 sits on the Green River and reads everything draining 682 square miles of the Upper Green basin. Its datum sits 500 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1970 to 1994, 25 years in all.

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 Green River at Greensburg, KY at 736 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 93% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Green River runs a median of 398 cfs at this gauge across 25 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 2,010 cfs, and August the leanest at 94 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 8,350 cfs in 1974, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 1982.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1970 to 1994. 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.
