About this gauge
USGS gauge 07288800 sits on the Yazoo River and reads everything draining 12,603 square miles of the Lower Yazoo basin. Its datum sits 40 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow is on record here from 2010 to 2024, 14 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 Yazoo River below Steele Bayou near Long Lake, MS at 13,355 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 94% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Mississippi River at Vicksburg, MS.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2010 to 2024. 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.
