Map of USGS gauge 03276500 and the river around it
Where WHITEWATER RIVER AT BROOKVILLE, IN sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Indiana DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Indiana rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Whitewater River: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout.
Normal for Nov 5: 253–890 ft³/s (middle half of 105 years of record). Now: 1,170 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 1,170 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 105 years of record (1916–2026): 10th 157, 25th 253, median 547, 75th 890, 90th 1,560 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 115 ft³/s, highest 4,760 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+2.6% discharge). 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.
