Catawba River: water levels along the river

We have 10 gauges on the Catawba River. 1 is below normal for the date and 5 above. The balance has swung towards high water.

The gauges on this page are spread across North Carolina and South Carolina. 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.
