Map of USGS gauge 02160325 and the river around it
Where BRUSHY CREEK NEAR GREENVILLE, SC sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines South Carolina DNR uses are 62°F and 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources: South Carolina trout stocking summary · South Carolina hunting and fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 5.4–9.3 ft³/s (middle half of 22 years of record). Now: 6.15 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 6.15 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 22 years of record (2005–2026): 10th 3.6, 25th 5.4, median 6.7, 75th 9.3, 90th 16 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.78 ft³/s, highest 31.8 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 32%, from 9.05 to 6.15 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
