PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION
 
 
  LOCATION.--Lat 42°08'47", long 77°03'28", Steuben County, Hydrologic Unit 02050105, on right bank adjacent to Corning Glass Works power plant, 0.2 mi upstream from bridge on State Highway 414 (Centerway St.) at Corning, and 1.7 mi downstream from Cohocton River.
DRAINAGE AREA.--2,006 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--Occasional discharge measurements water years 1941, 1968-69. October 1974 to current year.
REVISED RECORDS.--WRD NY-78-1: 1976, 1977(M). WDR NY-83-3: 1982(M).
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 900.00 ft above sea level.
REMARKS.--Records fair. High flows significantly regulated by upstream reservoirs. During each year a large part of flow from 45.5 mi2 of drainage area is diverted upstream from Lake Lamoka on Mud Creek, an upstream tributary, into Keuka Lake (Oswego River basin) for power development. Telephone and satellite gage-height telemeters at station. Several measurements of water temperature were made during the year.
