USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

01651827 ANACOSTIA RIVER NEAR BUZZARD POINT AT WASHINGTON, DC

LOCATION - Lat 38°51'54.6", long 77°00'37.2" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Washington, DC, Hydrologic Unit 02070010, Station is located on the fixed deck and floating pier of the Matthew Henson Earth Conservation Corps facility at 2000 Half St SW, Washington, DC 20024. The station is on the northwest (right) bank, approximately 0.6 mi upstream from the confluence with the Potomac River.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - March 2019 to November 2021 (gage height record only), November 2021 to present (stage and discharge).

GAGE - Water-stage recorder and velocity meter. Datum of gage is 0.00 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988.

REMARKS -

Water year 2022: Gage-height record fair and discharge record poor, including estimated discharges. Missing data due to equipment malfunction.
Water Year 2019-2021: Gage-height records fair.

This is a tidal discharge station. Discharge is computed from relations between stage vs. area and index velocity vs. mean channel velocity. Daily mean discharges were computed using the Godin low-pass filter to remove tidal effects from unit values. U.S. Geological Survey satellite data-collection platform at station.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum recorded elevation, 5.55 ft, October 29, 2021; minimum recorded elevation, -3.29 ft, May 1, 2021. Maximum discharge 11,500 cfs, July 9, 2022. Minimum discharge -10,100 cfs, December 23, 2022.
