The information provided here is, to the best of our knowledge,
accurate. However, even the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
experience problems with river or side stream gauges and/or
computer outages or malfunctions. You may want to check the
numbers provided here against the United States Geological
Services river gauge information
River levels may fluctuate greatly depending on local or distant
rainfall. The USACE gauge is updated every 2-4 hours. Consequently,
the actual levels and gauge readings may not be the same (e.g.
- the river may be flowing 10,000 cfs while the gauge still
only reads 7,000 cfs because of the 2-4 hour lag time). If
you check the gauge and weather daily, you will become familiar
with patterns that provide a fairly accurate picture. For example,
since the New River flows in a northwesterly direction, if
significant amounts of precipitation fall in the watershed
areas to the south and east of WV, in time that water will
make its way to this area. You can track this by watching the
gauges. We encourage you to bookmark this page and become an
amateur hydrologist.
