How to read this gauge

The number above is an elevation, not a water depth. It is the height of the water surface above a fixed reference level, so 1375 reads around 222 ft even when the channel is low. What matters is the distance to the top of bank: the elevation at which water reaches the top of the channel at this location. For this gauge that is 238.4 ft.

The bottom of the channel here sits at 220.9 ft, so the channel is roughly 17.5 ft deep at this crossing. San Jacinto River Authority publishes the top-of-bank figure with each reading; it is their reference, not an estimate made here.
