Conecuh River river
Total streamflow across the Conecuh River was last observed at 94 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 187 acre-ft of water today; about 2% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 5,289 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2015-12-30 when daily discharge volume was observed at 77,010 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Conecuh River Bel Pt A Dam Nr River Falls reporting a streamflow rate of 685 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Conecuh River At State Hwy 41 Near Brewton with a gauge stage of 8.89 ft. This river is monitored from 4 different streamgauging stations along the Conecuh River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 275 ft, the Conecuh River At Brantley Al.

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.

Conecuh River
The Conecuh River is a 258-mile-long river that flows through Alabama and Florida. It is the largest river in the state of Alabama and has played an essential role in the region's history, serving as a transportation route for Native Americans and early settlers. The river's hydrology is influenced by several significant tributaries, including the Sepulga River, Patsaliga Creek, and Murder Creek. The Conecuh River is also home to several reservoirs, including Point A Lake and Gantt Lake, which provide drinking water, flood control, and recreational opportunities to nearby communities. The river's agricultural uses include irrigation for crops like cotton and peanuts, while recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping are popular among locals and tourists.

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