Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
An upstream USACE flood-control dam largely controls the flows. Check the USGS Delaware gauge for dam outflow, and, to factor in runoff, add on roughly half the difference between it and the downstream Worthington gauge. Note that when heavy precipitation falls evenly across North Central Ohio, outflow is often held back a day or two to relieve the Scioto in Southern Ohio. Outflow level and duration is based on the strategy of returning Delaware Lake to summer or winter "pool levels" as quickly as possible. Summer pool level is 915ft (refill date April 1). Winter pool is 910 (draw-down Nov 1).Click link to get realtime level. Delaware Lake Level (Scioto basin)
