OREGON FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: December 25, 2025

Streamflow levels across Oregon are currently 110.0% of normal, with the Columbia River @ Beaver Army Terminal Nr Quincy reporting the highest discharge in the state with 328000cfs and gauge stage of 5.58 ft.

Maximum gauge stage in the state was last observed at the Sevenmile Cnl At Dike Rd Br, currently reporting a stage of 4141ft. The Shitike Creek Near Warm Springs in the Lower Deschutes watershed is surging for this time of year at 1480cfs, about 964.67% of normal.

       



Oregon's surface flows are impacted by its varied hydrology and climate characteristics. Major rivers and tributaries include the Columbia, Snake, and Willamette. Reservoirs and dams, such as the Bonneville Dam and the Dalles Dam, have been constructed along these waterways to provide hydroelectric power and irrigation. Snowpack is a crucial factor in Oregon's water supply, with the majority of the state's precipitation occurring in the winter months. In recent years, lower than average snowpack levels have led to drought conditions and water shortages. The Klamath Basin has been a focal point in the state's water management, with disputes arising between farmers, tribes, and environmental advocates over water allocation. Overall, Oregon's water resources are complex and often contentious, requiring careful management and planning.
