The stream gauge collects data on the flow of water in the stream and constituents like sediment and nutrients. Whiteoak Bayou flows into Buffalo Bayou, which has several tributaries and dams that can affect flow. There are seasonal trends in flow, with higher flow during the wet season and lower flow during the dry season. Interestingly, Whiteoak Bayou was once known as "Dirty Bayou" due to its pollution, but efforts to clean up the water have improved water quality and increased recreational opportunities.
