How to read this gauge
The number is the water surface elevation in feet on NGVD29, an older national vertical datum (NGVD29 and NAVD88 heights differ by an amount that varies from place to place): a height above a fixed survey reference, not a depth. Readings on different datums can't be compared directly.
