The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers in Pittsburgh, PA. It is a major source of drinking water and agricultural irrigation for millions of people in the Midwest and South. The river is regulated by several dams, including the Emsworth Dam just upstream from the Sewickley gauge. Seasonal trends in flow are influenced by precipitation and snowmelt. In winter and spring, flows tend to be higher due to increased precipitation and melting snow. In summer and fall, flows tend to be lower due to decreased precipitation and drier weather. Interesting facts about the Ohio River include its role in the Underground Railroad, its status as the most polluted river in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, and its important role in the transportation of goods and people during the 19th century.
