The river gauge is in a backwater of the Shoalhaven River not far from the original mouth of the river. In 1822 a canal was dug connecting this river with the Crookhaven River & the Shoalhaven River now flows out to sea via the Crookhaven River.
The gauge consists of a solar powered device on the bank of the river & a pole in the river which has gradients in metres. An underground pipe connects the gauge to the pole.
RIVER GAUGE INFORMATION:
River height plots provide a graphical view of recent observations at a station. The data has been collected in real time either by polling the station or by the station reporting the data on its own by radio transmission. This plot brings together all the data received over the last 4 or 7 days (this varies according to how quick the river behaviour is).
