Fenholloway River river
Total streamflow across the Fenholloway River was last observed at 147 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 291 acre-ft of water today; about 54% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 272 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2020-09-14 when daily discharge volume was observed at 1,390 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Fenholloway River Nr Perry Fla reporting a streamflow rate of 95.7 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Fenholloway River, with a gauge stage of 13.54 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Fenholloway River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 65 ft, the Fenholloway River Near Foley.

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.

Fenholloway River
The Fenholloway River is a 24-mile-long river in northern Florida that flows through Taylor County and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Historically, the river was used for timber transportation and as an industrial waste discharge site, leading to significant pollution. The river's hydrology is influenced by nearby wetlands, with a mean discharge of 153 cubic feet per second. The Buckeye Cellulose Corporation operates a pulp mill on the river, and the company has built several reservoirs and dams for water management purposes. The river supports a diverse range of wildlife, including manatees and various fish species. Recreational activities such as fishing and boating are popular on the river, and the surrounding agricultural lands are used for cattle grazing and timber production.

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