About this gauge

USGS gauge 02487500 sits on the Strong River and reads everything draining 425 square miles of the Middle Pearl-Strong basin. Its datum sits 259 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 1929, 76 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 Pearl River at Rockport, MS at 4,556 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 9% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Strong River runs a median of 96 cfs at this gauge across 76 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 541 cfs, and October the leanest at 42 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 30,100 cfs in 2014, and the lowest is 12 cfs in 2000.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1929 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
