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.

Comite River
The Comite River is a 70-mile long river in Louisiana that flows through East Baton Rouge Parish and Livingston Parish before joining the Amite River. The river has a rich history, dating back to the early 1700s when it was used by Native American tribes for transportation and fishing. Today, it is primarily used for agriculture, with a number of farms and ranches along its banks.
The Comite River is also home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Comite Diversion Canal and the Joor Road Dam. These structures help regulate the flow of water in the river and prevent flooding during times of heavy rain.
In addition to its agricultural uses, the Comite River is also a popular destination for fishing and boating enthusiasts. The river is home to a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie. Recreational facilities, such as parks and boat launches, are available along the river for visitors to enjoy.

About the Comite River
Where does the data for the Comite 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.
