Ohio River: water levels along the river

We have 38 gauges on the Ohio River. 1 is below normal for the date and 16 are above. The balance has swung towards high water.

On this page the river runs through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Fall is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
