July 26 2024

Streamflow levels across Idaho are currently 81.0% of normal, with the Snake River Bl Mcduff Rapids At China Gardens reporting the highest discharge in the state with 16000cfs and gauge stage of 5.97 ft. Meanwhile, the Clark Fork River Below Cabinet Gorge Dam Id is seeing a spike in streamflows today after experiencing a 19.13% increase since yesterday, and currently running at 4920cfs.

Maximum gauge stage in the state was last observed at the Sf Coeur D Alene River Abv Pine Cr Nr Pinehurst Id, currently reporting a stage of 87.9ft. The Willow Creek Nr Ririe Id in the Willow watershed is surging for this time of year at 209cfs, about 104.84% of normal.

Idaho's flow conditions are influenced by its unique hydrology and climate characteristics. The state has numerous major surface flows, including the Snake River, Salmon River, and Clearwater River, all of which are important for irrigation, hydroelectric power, and recreation. Idaho also has several large reservoirs and dams, such as the Boise River Reservoir and Lucky Peak Dam, which play a crucial role in regulating water flow and supply. The state's watersheds and snowpack levels are also significant indicators of hydrologic conditions, with winter snowpack providing a critical source of water for the state's rivers and streams during the summer months. Overall, Idaho's flow conditions are shaped by a complex interplay of natural and human factors, making it an important area of study for hydrologists and water resource managers.
