Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 12500450 is associated with a Stream in Yakima County, Washington. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, and Nitrate plus nitrite are available. Water data back to 1966 are available online.

The datum of the gage has been determined to be 903.42 ft above NAVD 1988. To obtain stream water-surface elevation values in NAVD 1988, add 903.42 ft to gage height values.
