About this gauge
USGS gauge 0208062765 sits on the Roanoke River and reads everything draining 8,450 square miles of the Lower Roanoke basin. Its datum sits 1 feet below sea level NAVD88.
Where this gauge sits in the drainage
Lake Gaston (Little River Channel) near Henrico, NC sits immediately upstream, so dam releases rather than rainfall set the flow here. Four gauged sites sit upstream of here. The closest is Roanoke River at Roanoke Rapids, NC, reading 8,384 square miles. Downstream the next reading comes from Roanoke River near Scotland Neck, NC at 8,671 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 97% of the water measured there.
