SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - July 1950 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder with satellite telemetry. Datum of gage is 2,776.38 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). July 11, 1950 to August 17, 2017 at datum 2,775.49 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).

REMARKS - Accuracy of records for water years prior to 2014 are noted in the individual Annual Data Reports for those water years. For water years 2014 onward, records fair to good except for estimated daily discharges, which are poor, unless otherwise noted. Natural flow was affected by irrigation development above station. Prior to September 2011, natural flow was affected by storage in Bonny Reservoir (station 06826000).
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum flood since at least 1826 occurred May 31, 1935, discharge, about 200,000 ft³ /s, based on slope-area measurement at Max, NE.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 26,800 ft³/s, July 31, 1962, gage height, 9.34 ft. Maximum gage height, 13.21 ft, May 26, 2023.
