The Ohio River at Cairo is 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m 3 /s); [1] and the Mississippi River at Thebes, Illinois, which is upstream of the confluence, is 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m 3 /s). [66] The Ohio River flow is greater than that of the Mississippi River, so hydrologically the Ohio River is the main stream of the river system.
At the United States Geological Survey's stream gauge in Aid, the annual mean flow of Symmes Creek between November 2000 and September 2005 was 426 ft³/s (12 m³/s). The highest recorded flow during the period was 7,100 ft³/s (201 m³/s) on May 19, 2001. The lowest recorded flow was 1 ft³/s (0 m³/s) on September 18, 2001. [4]
Map of the Muskingum River watershed showing the Licking River Historic view of the Licking River from "Geography of Ohio," 1923. The Licking River is a tributary of the Muskingum River, about 40 mi (65 km) long, in central Ohio in the United States. Via the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
The rivers in Ohio are significant, as they provide water for both domestic and industrial use. Ohio's great river is just that—the longest river that touches Buckeye State soil. These are the ...
The rivers in the northern part of the state drain into the northern Atlantic Ocean via Lake Erie and the St. Lawrence River, and the rivers in the southern part of the state drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio River and then the Mississippi. The worst weather disaster in Ohio history occurred along the Great Miami River in 1913.
At the United States Geological Survey's stream gauge in Waynesburg, [7] the annual mean flow of the river between 1939 and 2005 was 278 ft³/s (8 m³/s). The highest recorded flow during the period was 15,000 ft³/s (425 m³/s) on January 22, 1959. The lowest recorded flow was 6.9 ft³/s (0 m³/s) on an unspecified date. [3]
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is urging the public to use water "wisely" as the state's drought continues. ... The U.S. Drought Monitor's map of Ohio for September 19, 2024.
At its mouth, the creek's estimated mean annual flow rate is 257 cubic feet per second (7.3 m 3 /s). [4] A USGS stream gauge on the creek near Frazeysburg recorded a mean annual discharge of 158 cu ft/s (4.5 m 3 /s) during water years 1937-2019.
