Profile

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.

About this river

Green River

The Green River is a 730-mile long river that flows through Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. It is known for its beautiful canyons and unique geology. The river was first explored by John Wesley Powell in 1869 and was a major transportation route for Native Americans and settlers. The river is fed by numerous tributaries and is known for its hydroelectric power potential. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including Flaming Gorge Dam, which was completed in 1964 and provides irrigation water for agriculture and recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing. The Green River is also popular for whitewater rafting, hiking, and camping. The river is critical for agriculture in the region, providing water for crops such as hay, alfalfa, and wheat.

FAQ

About the Green River

Where does the data for the Green 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.
