No public gauge currently reports on the Oulu; its discharge is estimated at about 69.152 m³/s from drainage area and the specific discharge of nearby gauges. **Canonical name:** Oulu **Countries:** Finland **Maximum upstream drainage area:** 2,743 km² **Mapped river length:** 182.2 km **Gauging stations:** 0 **Estimated discharge:** 69.152 m³/s (from drainage area) ## Gauging stations on the Oulu No public discharge gauge is currently projected onto the Oulu in this dataset. Its discharge is estimated at about 69.152 m³/s from drainage area and the local specific discharge of nearby gauges. ## Related rivers - [Vuoksi](/rivers/vuoksi.html) - [Ossauskoski](/rivers/ossauskoski.html) - [Valajaskoski](/rivers/valajaskoski.html) - [Karunki](/rivers/karunki.html) - [Kemijoki](/rivers/kemijoki.html) - [Pirttikoski](/rivers/pirttikoski.html) - [Seitakorva](/rivers/seitakorva.html) - [Piirteenvirta](/rivers/piirteenvirta.html) - [Merikoski](/rivers/merikoski.html) - [Konnivesi](/rivers/konnivesi.html) - [Kokemenjoki](/rivers/kokemenjoki.html) - [Kolsi](/rivers/kolsi.html) ## Data, sources & timestamps Geometry is the HydroRIVERS network (HydroSHEDS): European reaches with at least 500 km² of upstream catchment, merged into chains between confluences. Flow direction comes from the network itself; river names are the canonical English label joined from provider metadata and Natural Earth, with local-language aliases retained. Discharge is normalised observed streamflow from official national hydrology providers, measured where a gauge sits on the river and interpolated between gauges. Pale/estimated values are derived from drainage area × the local specific discharge of nearby gauges and are never presented as measurements.
