Anclote River river
Total streamflow across the Anclote River was last observed at 2 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 4 acre-ft of water today; about 6% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 31 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2021-07-09 when daily discharge volume was observed at 1,796 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Anclote River Near Elfers Fl reporting a streamflow rate of 22.5 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Anclote River, with a gauge stage of 8.93 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Anclote River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 97 ft, the Anclote River Near Odessa Fl.

Maximum streamflow discharge by year
The single highest aggregate discharge recorded each year. Spotting the multi-year trend reveals droughts vs. wet cycles long before the headline daily flow does.

Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Anclote River
The Anclote River is located in west-central Florida and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The river has a rich history dating back to the 1800s when it was used for logging, fishing, and transportation. The length of the river is approximately 29 miles and it has a watershed area of 195 square miles. The hydrology of the river is fed by several springs, including the popular Anclote Springs. The river is also home to the Tarpon Springs reservoir, which serves as a source of drinking water for the area. Recreational uses of the Anclote River include fishing, boating, and kayaking, while agricultural uses include irrigation for citrus and vegetable farms along its banks. The Anclote River is an important natural resource in the area and is protected by several environmental organizations.

Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Anclote River
Where does the data for the Anclote River come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
