Due to the removal of a nearby low-head dam, the USGS relocated this gauge from just upstream of the U.S. Highway 231 bridge to the bridge at Lafayette Avenue which resulted in changes to the gauge heights and datum. See the Additional Information section further down on this page for more details.
National Water Model Hydrograph
Official NWS streamflow forecasts are produced by NWS hydrologic forecasters for river gauge locations using hydrologic models which are calibrated to that location. This process considers additional guidance and information, including local expertise and experience, to produce the best forecast possible. The NWM output provides supplemental guidance to NWS forecasters and should not be considered an official NWS river forecast.

The USGS relocated the Crawfordsville gauge from just upstream of the bridge at U.S. Hwy 231 to the bridge at Lafayette Ave following the removal of the low-head dam near the power plant. At higher gauge heights, readings on the gauge at Lafayette Ave bridge are estimated to be about 7 feet higher than the previous location. At lower gauge heights, the relationship is less straightforward. If you have questions please e–mail us at nws.indianapolis@noaa.gov. Crests listed from prior to April 2022 are from the prior location and unadjusted.Collaborative Agencies
