About this gauge

USGS gauge 02367900 sits on the Yellow River and reads everything draining 510 square miles of the Yellow basin. Its datum sits 1 feet below sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1999, 27 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 Yellow River at Milligan, Fla at 624 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 82% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

The Yellow River runs a median of 428 cfs at this gauge across 27 years of record. March is the fullest month at a median 832 cfs, and September the leanest at 277 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 66,100 cfs in 1999, and the lowest is 86 cfs in 2001.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1999 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
