USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
02228070 SATILLA RIVER AT US 17, AT WOODBINE, GA

DRAINAGE AREA - 3,240 mi².
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD -
DISCHARGE: November 2009 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: November 2009 to current year.
WATER VELOCITY: November 2009 to current year.
GAGE - Satellite telemetry with a water-stage recorder and an acoustic velocity meter. Datum of gage is 0.2 feet below the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD) of 1988 (leveling by Global Positioning System equipment).
COOPERATION - Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division.
REMARKS - Gage-height records are generally good. Water velocity records are generally good. Discharge records are generally fair except for estimated discharges, which are poor.  Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-ga_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.

Streamflow at this site is affected significantly by astronomical tides. By convention, the U.S. Geological Survey has established ebb (seaward) flows as positive flows and flood (landward) flows as negative flows. Unfiltered 15-minute stage, velocity, and discharge data are available upon request.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge recorded, 48,700 cfs, September 11, 2017; maximum gage-height, 7.05 feet, September 11, 2017; minimum gage-height recorded, -5.86 feet, April 16, 2018.
CLIMATOLOGICAL RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 2009 to current year.
