About this gauge

USGS gauge 02202190 sits on the Ogeechee River and reads everything draining 2,370 square miles of the Lower Ogeechee basin. Its datum sits 60 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2009, 17 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 Ogeechee River near Eden, GA at 2,650 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 89% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Ogeechee River at GA 204, near Ellabell, GA.
