From Boatertalk: I've got some good data on the correlation between the 76 bridge and and USGS gage.
Bridge = USGS
0.9 = 1.2
1.05 = 1.29
1.3 = 1.5
1.42 = 1.62
1.95 = 2.03
2.2 = 2.2
2.9 = 2.9
You'll notice that below 1.5 on the bridge there is a .2 difference in the gages. Above 1.5 they start to converge. Just over 2 feet they agree. I got the 2.2 and the 2.9 readings this weekend - thanx to Hanna!!!!!! I'm not sure if they begin to disagre at higher levels, but that would be a good guess. I'll keep an eye on it and post with more data later!
