REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR 2012: Drainage area. Revised Periods: Web-online only, temperature data April 26, 2012 to May 9, 2012.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - March 1924 to April 1926, April 1939 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1311.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' satellite telemeter at station. Datum of gage is 468.49 feet above NAVD88. Current datum was determined by a GNSS Level III survey REF FRAME: NAD_83(2011)(EPOCH:2010.0000) ITRF2014 (EPOCH:2020.4392)[NAVD88 (Computed using GEOID18)] and tied to a locally set GNSS Hub. Prior to 10/01/2021 the datum in use was 468.00 feet above NGVD 1929. See WSP 1921 for history of changes prior to Feb. 19, 1952. Feb. 19, 1952 to Aug. 15, 1989, gage at same site and datum 5.00 ft higher. 16 mile sq. intervening area, flow completely regulated since July 1952 by Tenkiller Ferry Lake.

REMARKS -

Quality of data for all periods can be obtained by contacting the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center.

All estimated records are considered poor unless noted otherwise.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 180,000 ft³/s, May 11, 1950, from rating curve extended above 42,000 ft³/s by velocity area. Maximum gage height, 34.6 ft, May 11, 1950, from floodmark, present site and datum.
