About this gauge
USGS gauge 02444160 sits on the Tombigbee River and reads everything draining 5,750 square miles of the Middle Tombigbee-Lubbub basin. Its datum sits essentially at sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1981, 44 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 Tombigbee River below Heflin L&d near Gainesville, Ala at 7,230 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 80% of the water measured there.
