USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

07311782 South Wichita River at low-flow dam near Guthrie, TX

LOCATION - Lat 33°37'19", long 100°12'31" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, King County, TX, Hydrologic Unit 11130205, on right bank 1.0 mi downstream from ranch road crossing, 2.9 mi upstream from Willow Creek, 6.6 mi east of Guthrie, and 91.5 mi upstream from mouth.

DRAINAGE AREA - 223 mi².

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - Oct. 1984 to Sept. 1985, May 1987 to Sept. 30, 2011.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 1,590.0 ft above NGVD of 1929. Satellite telemeter at station.

COOPERATION - Pipeline flowmeter data furnished by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District.

REMARKS - Discharge represents flow diverted by pumping from South Wichita River at Low Flow Dam near Guthrie (station 07311782) via pipeline to Truscott Brine Lake near Truscott (station 07311669). Flow is determined from flowmeter in pipeline. No flow at times.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - CHEMICAL DATA: Oct. 1984 to May 2007. July 2009 to Aug. 2011. BIOCHEMICAL DATA: Oct. 1984 to May 2007. July 2009 to Aug. 2011. PESTICIDE DATA: Sept. 1996 to May 2007. July 2009 to Aug. 2011.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Oct. 1984 to current year. Oct. 1986 to Apr. 1987, published as "South Wichita River below low-flow dam near Guthrie" (station 07311783). WATER TEMPERATURE: Oct. 1984 to current year. Oct. 1986 to Apr. 1987, published as "South Wichita River below low-flow dam near Guthrie" (station 07311783).

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor since Oct. 1984.

REMARKS - Interruptions or periods of missing record may be due to instrument failure, no flow conditions, or data corrections exceeding allowable criteria, which were deleted. Other than no flow conditions, minimum and maximum extremes may have occurred during period of missing record. Mean monthly and annual concentrations and loads for selected chemical constituents have been computed for previous years using the daily records of specific conductance and a regression relation between each chemical constituent and specific conductance. The computation of the selected constituent loads might include estimated discharge or specific conductance data.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Maximum, 74,600 microsiemens/cm, Aug. 18, 2015; minimum, 200 microsiemens/cm, July 3, 1986. WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum, 36.0°C, July 5, 11-13, 21, 1996; minimum, -1.4°C, Feb. 15,2021.
