USGS 01483700 ST JONES RIVER AT DOVER, DE

 

PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION

 
 
 

This site is affected by storm tides which increase stream water levels at the gage. Stage values reported are believed to be reasonably accurate, but the higher stage readings may produce estimates of discharge that are higher than actual.
