which one lets you know how much water is actually coming through the spillway?
There is a gate flow reading.
There is an inflow reading.
There is a spillway flow reading.
I’m assuming it’s the spillway flow reading,but, would love to hear from some of y’all that actually know how to read that thing......

The gate flow.
Here
Thanks
So I was wrong....
So, what is a spillway flow?
If gate flow is telling us how much water is being released through the spillway, what does the spillway flow record?
I thought that was emergency spillway flow. If it tops over. Might be wrong.
I think spillway flow is the amount of water that is flowing downstream, measured in cubic feet per second (cfs). A very complicated formula is used to calculate this. I will post an example below.
Too complicated for me, lol, but if anyone is interested....

I couldn’t get past the table of contents.
Gave me a headache, lol.Quote:

This is a good place to see the discharge rate at Grenada. Scroll down to see the chart. USGS Current Conditions for USGS 07285500 YALOBUSHA RIVER AT GRENADA, MS
