Station 03234500 SCIOTO R AT HIGBY OH


Description, qualifying comments, and acceptable water years.

Drainage area is 5131 sq.mi.                            Datum is 567.28 ft.
Located in hydrologic unit 05060002 at Latitude: 39:12:44N  Longitude: 082:51:50W
Station is in the state of OH (county code 141) and serviced by the OH office.
Channel slope is 2.67 feet/mile
Stream length is 177.00 miles
Mean basin elevation is 935.00 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum
Percent of contributing drainage area covered by 
   Storage: 0.00%     Lakes: N.A.%        Forests: 2.50%      Glaciers: N.A.%
Soil infiltration index is 3.29 inches
Annual precipitation is 37.00 inches
Precipitation intensity is 2.80 inches/24 hour (expected on the average once each two years)
January minimum temperature is 25.00 degrees Fahrenheit

This is a National Water Conditions station.
Comments and qualifications on the data:
   Records are unsuitable for analysis at less than monthly resolution due to affects of upstream reservoirs as well
   as GW pumpage around Columbus.  Several months in the 1930's have constant daily flow values indicative of
   estimated daily values for that month.


Monthly and longer averages for 58 water years are acceptable (all years except partial years).
A water year with acceptable data is indicated by an asterisk in the time line, which spans 1874 through 1988.
