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.

Dungeness River
The Dungeness River is located in Washington State and flows for approximately 32 miles from the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The river has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back over 3,000 years. The hydrology of the river is influenced by the surrounding mountains and receives most of its flow from snowmelt and rain. The river is home to several important species of fish, including Chinook and Coho salmon. The river is also used for recreation, with several parks and hiking trails along its length. However, the river has been impacted by several dams and reservoirs, including the 327-foot-high Glines Canyon Dam, which was removed in 2014 to restore the river's natural flow. Agriculture is also an important use of the river, with irrigation districts drawing water from the Dungeness for crops such as lavender and berries.

Fishing access and paddle runs Snoflo tracks within the watershed.
Track the Dungeness River in the Snoflo app
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 Dungeness River
Where does the data for the Dungeness 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.
