DRAINAGE AREA - 12,786 mi² of which 3,497 mi² probably is noncontributing.

REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 1341: Drainage area.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1937 to September 1993, July 1, 2000 to June 2003 (discontinued). Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1311. Gage-height records collected in this vicinity since 1914 are contained in reports of National Weather Service. Currently operated as a stage-only site.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1552.8 feet above NAVD of 1988. The NAVD of 1988 datum was determined by a Level II GNSS survey (Reference Frame NAD_83(2011) (EPOCH:2010.0000) ITRF2014 (EPOCH:2022.6021) (GEOID18) by USGS on 08/08/22 and tied to RM-2. Prior to date the datum of gage was 1,562.50 ft above NGVD of 1929. July 20, 2004, datum was changed +10.00 feet to 1,572.50, necessitated by the erosion of the low-water weir. Oct. 1, 1937 to Jan. 5, 1955, water-stage recorder at site 2.5 mi downstream at datum 1.91 ft lower prior to Oct. 1, 1950 and at datum 6.91 ft lower thereafter.

REMARKS -

Currently stage-only SW records. 10/01/2022 - 09/30/2023: record rated good.

Flow partly regulated by Fort Supply Lake for period May 1942 to April 1948 and completely regulated thereafter by Canton Lake.

Quality of data for other periods can be obtained by contacting the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center.

EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Flood of Oct. 13, 1923, reached a stage of 16.8 ft, at site 300 ft upstream from former site at datum 1.91 ft lower than present datum, from reports of National Weather Service.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD -

WATER TEMPERATURE: December 2016 to current year

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: December 2016 to current year

REMARKS -

Accuracy rating of the record for the 2023 Water Year:

WATER TEMPERATURE: Excellent; minimal data loss occurred. The sensor underwent NIST checks on a quarterly basis, and one EWI cross-section survey was completed within this water year.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Poor; Many data corrections were required - mostly fouling - and large sums of data are missing or have been deleted. One EWI cross-section survey was completed within this water year.

Quality of data for other periods can be obtained by contacting the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center.
