About this gauge

USGS gauge 02042426 sits on Upham Brook and reads everything draining 37 square miles of the Lower James basin. Its datum sits 90 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow is on record here from 1990 to 1995, 5 years in all.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

One gauged site sits upstream of here. The closest is Upham Brook at Spring Pk at Rt 161 at Richmond, VA, reading 15 square miles. This gauge adds the 22 square miles that drain in between. Downstream the next reading comes from Chickahominy River near Providence Forge, VA at 251 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 15% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

Upham Brook runs a median of 10 cfs at this gauge across 5 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 36 cfs, and September the leanest at 1.8 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 1,280 cfs in 1994, and the lowest is 0.2 cfs in 1993.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1990 to 1995. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median. USGS stopped publishing a daily flow record at this gauge, so these are historical norms, not a baseline for current readings.
