Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 01554000 is associated with a Stream in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, and Stream water level elevation above NAVD 1988 are available. Water data back to 1865 are available online.

Drainage Area excludes that of Shamokin Creek. See WSP 1903 for history of changes prior to Dec. 13, 1937. Dec. 13, 1937, to Mar. 23, 1967, water-stage recorder at site 1.7 mi upstream at datum 11.05 ft higher. Flow slightly regulated by 14 flood-control reservoirs which have a capacity of about 809,000 acre-ft, and during low flow by Fabridam, forming Lake Augusta located 1.5 mi upstream.
