Washington stream gauge measures the flow of water in the Floyd's Fork, a major tributary of the Salt River in Kentucky. The stream's flow is influenced by several factors, including precipitation, runoff, and water withdrawals for irrigation and public supply. The stream gauge also monitors potential impacts from specific tributaries and dams, such as the Seaton Creek and the Taylorsville Lake Dam. Seasonal trends in flow demonstrate a peak during the spring and fall, with lower flows in the summer and winter months. Interesting facts about the hydrology of the Floyd's Fork include its designation as a Kentucky Wild River and its use for recreation activities such as kayaking and fishing.
