Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 01480000 is associated with a Stream in New Castle County, Delaware. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, Specific conductance, and more are available. Water data back to 1943 are available online.

LOCATION.-- On right bank 12 ft upstream from bridge on State Highway 48, 0.3 mi south of Wooddale, 2.3 mi north of Marshallton, and 4.9 mi upstream from mouth. PERIOD OF RECORD.-- April 1943 to current year. GAGE.-- Water-stage recorder, concrete control, and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 80.31 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988 and 81.46 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Prior to Sept. 21, 1950, nonrecording gage at site 10 ft downstream at same gage datum. REMARKS.-- Low flows augmented at times by inflow from Hoopes Reservoir located 1.7 mi upstream from gage on unnamed tributary to Red Clay Creek, capacity 2,000,000,000 gal. Water from Brandywine Creek is pumped into Hoopes Reservoir and is released into Red Clay Creek during periods of low flow. Water from Red Clay Creek is used for municipal supply. PERIOD OF RECORD (Water Quality).-- WATER TEMPERATURE: October 2018 to current year. SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: July 2021 to current year.
