About this gauge

USGS gauge 07291000 sits on the Homochitto River and reads everything draining 181 square miles of the Homochitto basin. Its datum sits 212 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1939, 86 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 Homochitto River at Rosetta, MS at 787 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 23% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Homochitto River runs a median of 72 cfs at this gauge across 86 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 206 cfs, and October the leanest at 48 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 34,600 cfs in 1974, and the lowest is 11 cfs in 1989.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1939 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
