About this gauge

USGS gauge 07282000 sits on Yalobusha River and Topashaw C Ca and reads everything draining 295 square miles of the Yalobusha basin. Its datum sits 226 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow is on record here from 1951 to 2012, 59 years in all.

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 22% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Yalobusha River at Grenada, MS.

Normal flows here

Yalobusha River and Topashaw C Ca runs a median of 38 cfs at this gauge across 59 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 260 cfs, and September the leanest at 5.7 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 50,800 cfs in 1983, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 1954.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1951 to 2012. 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.
