The National Weather Service measures river levels at two locations along the South Yamhill River. Near Willamina, the highest recorded water level was about 17 feet (5 m) in December 1964. No low-water records are available for this gauge. At McMinnville, the highest recorded water level was about 59 feet (18 m) in February 1996, and the lowest was zero in October 1996.

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or levels:
“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
—Eva Perón (1919–1952)
