About this gauge

USGS gauge 01671020 sits on the North Anna River and reads everything draining 462 square miles of the Pamunkey basin. Its datum sits 38 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1980, 46 years of it.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

North Anna River below Lake Anna near Hewlett, VA sits immediately upstream, so dam releases rather than rainfall set the flow here. Five gauged sites sit upstream of here. The closest is North Anna River below Lake Anna near Hewlett, VA, reading 429 square miles. This gauge adds the 33 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Pamunkey River near Hanover, VA at 1,078 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 43% of the water measured there.
