About this gauge

USGS gauge 07030240 sits on the Loosahatchie River and reads everything draining 262 square miles of the Loosahatchie basin. Its datum sits 246 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1970, 53 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 Mississippi River at Memphis, TN at 932,800 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 0% of the water measured there.
