USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

03592718 LITTLE YELLOW CREEK EAST NEAR BURNSVILLE, MS

DRAINAGE AREA - 24.7 mi². Tennessee Valley Authority.

REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR MS-78-1: 1973(M), 1976(M). Annual maximum peak gage height and maximum peak discharge for water years 2018 and 2019 revised October 26, 2020.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - Operated as continuous-record gaging station May 1973 to September 2013; October 2013 to current year operated as a peak stage indicator station.

GAGE - Datum of gage is 429.44 ft. (NAVD 88)

REMARKS - As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these partial-record stations are usable in low-flow or floodflow analyses, depending on the type of data collected. The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage gage is a device that will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from current meter or indirect measurements of peak flow. The date of the maximum discharge is not always certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local inquiry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on some lower floods may have been obtained, but is not published herein. The years given in the period of record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.

EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - A discharge of 3,180 ft³/s, gage height, 19.12 ft was measured Mar. 16, 1973.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge not determined, December 26, 1983, gage height 21.74 ft.
