About this gauge

USGS gauge 02343940 sits on Sawhatchee Creek and reads everything draining 64 square miles of the Lower Chattahoochee basin. Its datum sits 110 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2002, 25 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 Apalachicola River below Woodruff Dam, near Sneads, FL at 17,100 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 0% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Apalachicola River at Chattahoochee Fla.

Normal flows here

Sawhatchee Creek runs a median of 32 cfs at this gauge across 25 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 93 cfs, and October the leanest at 19 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 5,800 cfs in 2009, and the lowest is 4.8 cfs in 2007.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2002 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
