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.

East Verde River
The East Verde River is located in Arizona, USA and runs for approximately 35 miles. The river has a rich history, having been used by Native American tribes for centuries before being discovered by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. The river's hydrology is characterized by seasonal fluctuations in flow, with peak flows occurring during the monsoon season. The river is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Horseshoe Dam and the Bartlett Dam. These dams are used to regulate the river's flow and provide water for agricultural uses. In addition, the river is popular among recreational enthusiasts and offers opportunities for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Despite its popularity, the East Verde River remains an important source of water for the surrounding communities and is a key component of the region's ecosystem.

About the East Verde River
Where does the data for the East Verde 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.
