About this gauge

USGS gauge 07283000 sits on the Skuna River and reads everything draining 254 square miles of the Yalobusha basin. Its datum sits 229 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1948, 79 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 Grenada Lake near Grenada, Miss at 1,320 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 19% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Yalobusha River at Grenada, MS.
